    Taya's pokedex:

    486 seen
    485 obtained

    I'm missing:
    Whismur
    Loudred (the one that I've seen)
    Exploud
    Magmortar
    Electivire

    I have magmarizers but I haven't made the trade yet. I'm using a Butterfree/Meowth combo to try and steal some electirizers right now. The other three are on Emerald and I can trade them over tomorrow.

    Obviously I don't have Darkrai and co yet.

    Can Kingdra survive long enough to get Rain Dance up?

    In my team I'm solidly betting no. That's why Lickilicky raindances first.

    In my team I'm solidly betting no. That's why Lickilicky raindances first.

    So I probably need someone who's a little beefier coming out first? Any recommendations? I'm trying to avoid using Pokemon you see a lot and ones that have lots of weaknesses (though I don't know if I'll be able to do that in the long run). For example I picked Kingdra since its only weakness is Dragon.

    I have an Electivire I could trade you Taya.

    The longer your Pokeradar chain, the more likely you are to get a shiny.

    But man, I don't even want a shiny

    I just want a ditto.


    One Ditto so I can chain it.

    Is that really so much to ask?

    after i'm done seeing which of these chanseys i bred is the best i'll try and catch you one, didn't take me that long

    I've actually got a chain going now. Finally.

    I already have a few Ditto, I'm just trying to catch all the different natures.

    From what I know, 3.

    Normal wiggle, which means it's something that usually shows up in the grass.

    Flashy wiggle, which means it's something that doesn't usually show up in the grass.

    Crazy-ass rainbow wiggle, which means it's shiny.

    Like 30.

    Also, the farther away the patch of grass is, the more likely it is that that's a chained Pokemon.

    ...Is it wrong that I'm using the Pythagorean Theorem to figure out which patches of grass on diagonals are farthest away?

    Or

    you could just

    count

    Except that's not actually how distance works.

    If the line between you and a patch of grass isn't horizontal or vertical, you need to use distance formula/Pythagorean Theorem to determine how many units away from you that patch of grass is. Counting will not get you this number.

    Or

    you could just

    count

    not exactly, if the hypotenuse distance is what counts, step count doesnt really matter

    the hypotenuse for 4 steps left and 4 steps up is smaller than grass that is 2 steps left and 6 steps up

    2rad8 vs 2rad10 respectively

    EDIT: is there a way to organize all of your items automatically, as opposed to manually

    You should be working on your math skillz if you think just counting works for determining distance.

    jack master i can get you one in a while if you don't mind waiting, i have to finish seeing which of these chanseys is the best, and then i'd have to breed my torterra

    by my calculation, the soonest i will be done with the chansey thing would be about 15 minutes

    feedback on Battle Tower crew (would love to go 100+)... will be changing items as I acquire BP... also tried to use as few TMs as possible (a couple easy chain breeds provide 2 moves for Garchomp and Empoleon). All in all, pretty straight forward.

    jolly Garchomp @ Leftovers
    Dragon Claw
    Crunch
    Earthquake
    Rock Slide

    modest Empoleon @ Shell Bell?
    Aqua Ring
    Ice Beam
    Surf
    Substitute

    adamant Medicham @ ???
    Meditate (the book I have has 2 Meditates... does anyone know if this is the one that raises Attack?)
    Recover
    Fire Punch
    Thunder Punch

    edit: I'm pretty flaky on Medicham... I already have a male with Ice/Fire/Thunder Punch and Psycho Cut. Might trade out something for Psycho Cut

    Hey I thought it wouldn't take me that long to level up my Gabite and get him to 48 to level into Garchomp but It's taking way to long

    Would anyone be willing to trade me a Garchomp just to get him on my Pokedex than I will trade him right back?

    next time you plan on leveling something hardcore, try having someone else be the original trainer first, it'll level much faster

    I've got an extra drifloon and stantler you can have. I'll take a ralts and maybe a kanto/johto/hoenn starter if you have any spare.
