    got a question fellas:

    I'm playing emerald again and have so far come up with this starting line up:

    blaziken,altaria,lanturn and kecleon

    now I'm in two minds here: should I choose solrock and bellosom to add..

    or cradily and grumpig?

    I'd go with Craydilly and Grumpig. More types in group. Is there a faster way to get 'seatooth off Sharpedo then fishin' and and using thief? I spent 3 hours, and none had the item.

    In what Game? R/S/E? Or D/P/Pt?

    I was talking to the guy that "Quoted" you.

    Good News, I found out why I had to use the : ), : lol : to make the Smilies, why I could not directly post pics, use Bold, Italics, & Underline. I went to "My Preferences", then went to Board, then changed the "something" Editor Option to Yes, Standard or Yes, Advanced. Before, when I made a message at the forums, there would be no Bold, Italics, Smilies, Picture, etc Options, but now there is.

    AHem!
    I need a way to get a Deepseatooth in Diamond that does not take forever or at least a way to speed up the Sharpedo-item way. I can't use the 3rd gen games, in both Saphirre and Emerald, I got the the Deepseascale and I don't have Ruby.

    The only ways to get a DeepSeaTooth is:

    1. Get it from Captain Stern after finding the Scanner on the Abandoned Ship (Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald)
    2. Find it on a wild Carvanha or Sharpedo (Diamond/Peal)
    3. Buy it for 14,000 Poke Coupons (Pokemon Battle Revolution)

    Here is method I can think of. Both requires you having the National Dex though:

    1. Have a Pokemon that Ability "Compound Eyes" and the Move "Thief" be first in your party and fish with the Super Rod on Route 222. Each time a Sharpedo appears, have the Pokemon use "Thief" to see if it has an item. If it does, keep using "Thief" until it steals the item from Sharpedo.
    2. Have a level 51-54 Pokemon with the Ability "Vital Spirit/Pressure/Hustle" and the Move "Thief" be first in your party and fish with the Super Rod on Route 222. Each time a Sharpedo appears, have the Pokemon use "Thief" to see if it has an item. If it does, keep using "Thief" until it steals the item from Sharpedo.

    As rare as Eevee are. To get a Togepi you needed to:

    Gold/Silver/Crystal - Hatch the egg Professor Elm gives you in Violet City.
    FireRed/LeafGreen - Hatch the egg a Gentleman gives to you in the Water Labyrinth.
    Diamond/Pearl - 22% of encountering a Wild one on Route 230 using Poke Radar.
    Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness - Get from Hordel (It'll be a Shadow Pokemon).
    Platinum - Hatch the egg Cynthia gives to you in Eterna City.

    Togepi are hard to brred becaure thet are more likely to be males then females, 1:7 to be more exact.

    Thank God for Ditto.

    ps: I have a question that brings back an old question of mine concerning the Platinum Pre-Order Date. In Serebii, it says to pre-order Platinum, so it is available for pre-order? Then I went to the Serebii Forums & some guy that lives just miles from me pre-ordered it & yes its in the US. Just wondering because it seems like a game that is capable of getting sold out.

    I went to Circuit City's website and they are accepting pre-orders. I don't know whether it'll sell out fast or not, but I'm sure if you pre-order you'll get a bonus gift and a garunteed copy when you go to the store to buy the game.

    Circuit City not that far from home but my I will have to pay the gas so someone can take me, I hope Game Crazy will be accepting them soon because I called just minutes ago & they still haven't yet.

    Chaining in Diamond is a pain. Here is the deal, in Route 207, which I think its the grass route above Oreburgh City. I finally get a Shiny Gligar about 2 months ago & in this same area, Phanpy swarm here. So I chain Phanpy and I get a chain of 4, which is far from a Shiny(though its still possible). So after walking 50 steps and reseting it, a grass from 4 Up, 1 right shakes. So I know going Up 4 breaks the chain and going to the right or left 3 grass bushes from this Bad Grass Bush is the safest bushes to keep chains going. So I go up 3, then go to the right 1, then another Up 1. Then the chain breaks? Pisses me off! Why did it break if I went to a Safe Bush?

    If you're in a big area of grass, it is usually recommanded that you go to a patch of grass that is usually four steps away. The PokeRadar's range goes off screen sometimes, and the next batch of shaking grass is most likely to happen after you defeat/capture the Pokemon that is in the grass patch which is four walking paces away.

    As a general note, if you don't like how the patches of grass shook OR there weren't that many patches of grass that shook, you don't have to reset. Instead, just walk back and fourth in a direction which you'll know you won't run into a Pokemon which might be counted as part of the chain until you did about 50 steps, and use the PokeRadar again. Hopefully you'll get the shaking results you want and your chain will most likely not have broke.

    Just remember, you might need to use a lot of Max Repels.

    Personally, I like Lucario better, but type wise, Heracross is better (against Lucario) since it's Fighting type moves are super-effective against Lucario, being a Steel/Fighting Type. Also, Heracross is resistant against Lucario's Fighting type moves, since it's part Bug Type. But then again, Heracross is x4 weak against Flying type moves, being a Bug/Fighting Type, and it's also weak against Fire and Psychic type moves. Lucario is weak against Fighting, Fire and Ground type moves. They both have 3 weaknesses, but one of Heracross's weaknesses is x4. I could go on about what types, the types of the 2 pokemon are super-effective against, but Pikachu315111 is better at a long, detailed explanation on this stuff than I am.

    Thanks, I will get Lucario 1st.

    During the time in between q/a, I made these. Enjoy.

    Lucario is the better choice. It's total stats are higher (525 compared with Heracross' 500), doesn't have a 4x weakness and what it is weak to aren't that common (Heracross is 4x weeak to Flying-types, a very common type), has 9 resistants with a few being 1/4 (Heracross has 5 and all are 1/2), and has an immunity to Poison. Stat distribution wise, Heracross is a but better in everything except Special Attack and Speed, but that stats are close to each other enough to not really have it make much of a difference. Heracross also has a better moveset and naturally learns stronger moves more often and earlier then Lucario, but Lucario has more attack type variety.

    i need to know are the writers of pokemon gonna make a interesting storyline anytime soon? all i see is ash goes to battle loses trying to act like hes the best because he can blast off jessie and james all the time it get pretty boring after a while and his rivals (other than gary) are very bad only prokvoking him not really a big challenge to the champions of the regions. Also is Domino from "Mewtwo returns' coming back? i thought that she was a good character being a top agent in the team rocket organization not like jessie and james who are both make team rocket look weak. i think that she should come back but Giovanni should give her a strong shady male partner that can accomplish missions and is such a great trainer that he can defeat even the champions. He would have some strong pokemon some suggestions are flygon, raichu (to rival ash's pikachu), dragonite, sandslash, and a quilava this is a awesome kick but team very strong and brings back some cool pokemon of earier seasons. They would make a great team also Domino should get some cute pokemon like eevee, butterfree, oddish, pichu, and nidoqueen since she liked one before.
