Aipom uses fake out.
roserade flinched

aipom uses baton pass (switches in geodude)
roserade uses magical leaf
geodude faints

aipom uses fake out
roserade faints.

Dropped Phione from my team, but used it to win the first 2 ranks of cute contests.

Spent all of today training up my pokés for the pokémon league, current team:

Dialga Lvl.57
Carnivine Lvl . 58
Rapidash Lvl. 58
Quagsire Lvl. 60
Luxray Lvl. 60
Empoleon Lvl. 60

Bought a crapload of Revives and Hyper Potions and saved before the league. Have a bad feeling that Cynthia's Garchomp will still be a problem, Dialga knows Blizzard but it's hard to hit and it's still only at level 57 and her Garchomp is 66...

Beat rival in Survival area then beat Byron in the top trainers cafe.

 

[michele]

i missed catching an eggxecute in the great marsh, but i did manage to finally catch a croagunk.

 

[Idiomorph]

I FINALLY extorted my second Gold Print from Hall Matron Argenta, courtesy of my Porygon-Z and more than a little luck. Final victory over her Latias: 61-27879-87258

 

[joelogs]

i'm about to take some vacation on iron island to take the galactic goons there..lol!

 

[Pachireecko]

I caught a few pokemon I don't need. :)

 

[Dachampster]

i spent a few hours trying to catch female combee. i was next to hearthome city where you enter mt.coronet and i used 230 ultra balls and 8 boxes in my pc to catch combee but unfortunately they were all male oones . and i thought to my self. one last try then next second combee came up and it look a bit red so i though is it female and i saw the female icon! but the problem was i had no ultra balls only quick balls. i had about 300. i used 143 of them and finally i cought it! so now i trained it to lvl 20 and it evolved to vespiqueen!

Dang. How does it take that many Pokeballs to catch a Combee?

Anyway, I got my Combee in one shot. One Net Ball, one attack. LOL. I just killed Eterna gym and now have:

Luxio
Prinplup
Noctowl
Vespiquen

 

[toothfairy]

In LG: Trained my shiny Victreebel to lvl 44 to catch up with my other team members. I'm gonna migrate it once i beat the E4 so i can add it to my Forest theme team.

Current LG Team (training all to lvl 50 before i challenge Erika):
Spiral (Pidgeot) lvl 45
Kura (Pidgeot) lvl 44
Iban (Charizard) lvl 44
Ivy (Victreebel) lvl 44
Epicness (Gyrados) lvl 30 (Day-Care)

In Platinum: After completing my solo run with Kricketune, I got my Eevee out of the PC to train it into a Leafeon. Now training it for my Forest themed team.

Current Platinum team:

Jiminy (Kricketune) lvl 100
Leafeon lvl 50

 

[Dachampster]

I dont know which starter to get, but my favorite Pokemon are out of reach. I need to somehow trade for some pokemon.

My faves are:

Houndoom
Grovyle
Ampharos
Mudkip
Crocanaw
Buizel- obtainable before league
Scizor
Kecleon
Bagon
Zangoose- obtainable before league

PROBLEM:

These are the exact pokes that i like. Only buizel and zangoose are obtainable. and i dont like any of their evos. My D/P team might consist of:

Ah forget it, there are no good pokemon to start with... I hate T-wizzle because he suxx past Level 30, i tried. I dont like Prinplup and Empoleon, ugly-@$$ freaks. Chimmz is overused, and I hate that. I guess I'll pick one... I dont know how to make non evos do well in battle. I battle best with my favorites, why I like GOLD VERSION so much. But I dont have any friends who are willing to trade. I might go with T-wizz and GTS if for a Treecko. Whats funny is that Kadabra sucks at lv 40, and so does (sc)rotom. Crobat isnt good for ingame. Magikarp is too hard to babysit without a freaking EXP share. Luxray= overused. Bibarel= weak. Staraptor= overused. Not until route 211 can i get into the nosepass section of MT CORONET. Right now I'm trying to find a way to get some half decent looking pokemon. Thats my challenge: to get the best looking pokemon that i like. which doesnt exist in DPP. So thats where I am right now.

 

[Pachireecko]

Bred Ditto with Infernape,Venasaur,Marill,Pikachu,Dusknoir and a few others and then made the eggs hatch.

 

[The Fourteenth Doctor]

on my way to Celestic Town, not been long since i defeated Crasher Wake, also traded in a Magmar Lv30 from the gts

my team;

Torterra Lv34
Floatzel Lv34
Magmar Lv34
Kadabra Lv34
Machoke Lv34
Staravia Lv33

 

[Cherry.]

I completed the Sinnoh Pokedex. =DD * jumps for joy *

 

[Dachampster]

Figured out my team...

T-wizzle- trade for Chimmz with egg moves (t-pawnch and Dubkick)
Noctowl
Buizel/Lotad (most likely Lotad because Ludicolo is cool and Floatzel isnt)(might have to trade since I dont have Sapphire anymoar)
Combee
Trade something for Mareep
Trade something for Grovyle


I'll end up with something like:

Monferno- Blaze
Noctowl- Aeris
Ludicolo- (need nickname)
Vespiquen- (need nickname)
Ampharos- Volt
Grovyle- Blade

Stuck on Cynthia at elite foar

I might try an all grass challenge after that...

Shiftry
Grovyle
Ludicolo
Breloom
Tropius
Roserade

Stuck on Gym 7

I will post later about how that team went (the first one)...

 

[Amore]

Just decided i cba with Veilstone gym, so i went from Hearthome to Pastoria instead.
Caught tons of pokes in Great Marsh (bluddy Gyarados, yet no Croagunk1!!).

Trained Prinplup and Ambipom up to lv.36
got Elekid to lv.30 in Pastoria gym, where it evolved.
Happiny hatchededed!!!!!!!
Beat Wake solely with Electabuzz (lucky 1HKO crit with Cross Chop on Quagsire)


I noticed he only had 3 pokes...sure he normally has a Whishcash aswell.

Then went underground and walked into my own secret base 30 times (2 Dses, Diamond and Platinum), so now when i eventually get back to the Hallowed Tower, Spiritomb should be hanging about (never seen it before).

Current progress:

Badges: 3
Pokedex: Seen:77 Caught: 42
Team:
Ambipom lv.36
Prinplup lv.36
Electabuzz lv.30 (any more and he won't obey, dammit!!)
Staravia lv.18 (just got it out of the box when i looked and saw it was Jolly natured)
Happiny lv.3
unsure on what i'll use as a final poke, maybe i'll trade Latias, Bagon or Beldum over from Platinum.

 

[The Fourteenth Doctor]

Arrived at Snowpoint City and defeated candice

Team;

Torterra Lv46
Floatzel Lv46
Magmortar Lv47
Staraptor Lv46
Alakazam Lv45
Machamp Lv45

 

[Dachampster]

Figured out my damned team that I will use.

Chimchar
Hoothoot
Trade for Treecko
Trade for Lotad
Vespiquen
Nosepass

It's crap, and most likely be able to beat Cyrus or Cynthia... but I'll find some shop on this site with free pokes and see if I can get a decent IVed Pokemon or at least one with egg moves.

 

[joelogs]

happy to say that i've finally got a munchlax for the very first time. yeah.. very first time. now i know one honey tree to slather to find hopefully a heracross maybe. hearcross cause i haven't caught heracross from honey trees. i like the test of luck and surprise.

 

[ShivaDF]

I fought my friend on Wi-Fi and beat Pikachu with Wooper, and when I sent it out she laughed but didn't realize that electric moves can't hit ground types *Snicker*

I also got a Quilava and I'm training it alongside my new Furret... I like to make up stories about wild Poke'mon I fight.

 

[Annuhh5]

just caught Giratina with an ultra ball ;D
