Why are you using scyther over scizor? Scizor can take hits better and has a better typing. Also, what are you passing with jolteon? 0_o Agility? Even though you have ninjask? | ||

Ninjask (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Speed Boost EVs: 128 Def / 252 Spd / 130 SDef Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Aerial Ace - Baton Pass - Hidden Power [Bug] - Substitute You're not getting any swords dances off with Ninjask. Just Sub until you can pass. If a phaser comes in, pass to Umbreon and have him Taunt. Roar/Whirlwind is -1 move priority anyway, and your +1 speed should enable Umbreon to go before all common Hazers except Crobat (which no one uses anyway). If they don't bring in a p/hazer on their first switch in, then Umbreon will Taunt before any +0/-1 priority move anyway. Umbreon (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Synchronize EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 130 SDef Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd) - Baton Pass - Charm - Mean Look - Taunt This is your anti-phazer. Read above commentary. Mean Look to trap them and then Charm just for shits and giggles. After this I usually pass to Vaporeon or Celebi. You'll want to pass to Umbreon for Taunts for ANY remote threat. This includes things Psych Up Regice/Gardevoir or even more remote threats like Snatch or Magic Coat (never happens. Just watch out for Psych Up Regice, really...haze and roar/whirlwind were explained in above section). Celebi @ Leftovers Trait: Natural Cure EVs: 252 HP / 224 Def / 34 SAtk Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Baton Pass - Calm Mind - Psychic - Recover Standard. Vaporeon (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Water Absorb EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 130 SDef Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Acid Armor - Baton Pass - Substitute - Surf Standard. Smeargle (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Own Tempo EVs: 128 Def / 252 Spd / 130 SDef Hardy Nature (Neutral) - Baton Pass - Belly Drum - Ingrain - Spore Standard. Porygon2 @ Lum Berry Trait: Trace EVs: 252 Atk / 6 Spd / 252 SAtk Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def) - Hidden Power [Fire] - Ice Beam - Return - Thunderbolt Some people like Zapdos instead with TBolt/HP Ice/Drill Peck/BP so you can BP to something else in case it's resisted. Honestly, Porygon2 isn't that great of a recipient. But whatever. If you're feeling cutesy (like I did), you could add a Trickband Mr. Mime with Trick/CM/BP/Psychic. You'd obviously pass to him after Mean Looking and Charming so they're stucking doing the same move over and over again with -6 ATK. Just be sure to Trick first so you're not stuck with a Focus Band lozltovz. | ||

I also played Silver back when it came out. That was actually a lot of fun. I never got any other other games, mainly because I didn't have a better gameboy or whatever the hell you play it on these days. I did however borrow a friends DS and play through the R/B remakes. Those were awesome. | ||

I know you will switch, so instead of using Ice Beam, I put down a layer of spikes. Switching just got a whole lot less fun, didn't it? Or what if I send out something that doesn't obviously have an ice move? For example, I could use Alakazam or Gengar, both can learn Ice Punch and have awesome special attack and speed. I've never played the newest games, but in my experience, Dragons are not difficult to counter - they just scew you over if you are unprepared. Fortunately, there are lots of ways to beat them other than using Ice. Your Cloyster example is good, but spikes doesn't affect Dragonite. Last I checked (a long time ago, haven't played in a while which was emerald on an emu) spikes can't do damage to flying types. I usually loved stacking my roster with dragon heavy types, so I would probably have Dragonite + Kingdra as well. Kingdra is a great dragon to have since it has no weaknesses as it's a water + dragon type. This may have changed since I used to do this in Crystal once again ages ago. Sorry this thread just made me feel really old. I did like to play when I got bored with SC for a while. The single player can be a bit exciting especially the first time around, especially GSC bc of the 2 regions detail. | ||

Actually, Dragon attacks are effective against Dragon and neutral against Water, so Kingdra has a key Dragon weakness. The only poke without any weaknesses is Spiritomb, with his Ghost/Dark type. | ||

IF YOU ARE PLAYING EMERALD 386 AND YOUR SAVE FUCKS UP 1. Hopefully you made a save state just before the point where the game auto-saves after beating the Elite Four. 2. Delete your current save game file (NOT THE SAVE STATE) (find and delete Pokemon Emerald 386.sav) 3. In VGBAdvance, go Options->Emulator->Real Time Clock, make sure it's checked 4. In VGBAdvance, go Options->Emulator->Save Type->Flash 128K, make sure it's checked 5. Restart the rom and load your save state. 6. Let the game save automatically. 7. This save file shouldn't be corrupted. | ||

Subbing Ninjask carries Speed doesn't it, unless SD is short for Speed and not Special Defense? Also, I'm confused as to why Acid Armor is better than Iron Defense when they both have the exact same effect. In fact, from what I know Acid Armor's Defense boost doesn't apply if the enemy gets a Critical Hit. Is this the same for Iron Defense? | ||

Ninjask has speed boost, so by default, jask nulls jolteon's role in a BP team. TL is obviously not Smogon, so I'll cut back on the abbreviations, my bad. SD = Sword Dance. Iron defense does boost by 2 levels. I thought it was 1 level for some reason. If it was one, then obviously acid armor is better. | ||

Oh ok, SD = Swords Dance makes a bit more sense :p | ||
