Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

[Opinionated]

Those are all Event Pokemon. At some point in the future, there will be a Nintendo event that gives you acsess to them. The Darkai event will probably be around the next movie, Dialga VS Palkia VS Darkai.

Also, it's just me, but I think one good Special Ice attack would endanger your Salamence.

[Starblaiz]

Your Salamence will be okay if you put substitute or something on it to block those icys. And I just looked it up, it's really rare to find a scale on them, but that's the only way. Try equipping TM 46 Thief to a strong pokemon and just knockin' 'em down 'til you get it. That's how I pulled the Magmarizer off Magby when I didn't wanna catch every one I saw. Good luck!

I just got this game 2 days ago (ADDICTED!) and currently, my team consists of:

Psyduck - Lvl 28
Monferno - Lvl 30
Staravia - Lvl 30
Kadabra - Lvl 30
Luxray - Lvl 31

So embarrasing

All of you have such high-leveled Pokemon!

I'm on my way to get my 5th badge.

Anything to recommend or like, advise me on?

I plan on training all my Pokemon to Lvl 36 and above before going to the Gym to defeat Fantina.

[Starblaiz]

Welcome to the world of incredibly awesome, my friend! I likes the sound of your team. As for a fifth, I'd suggest a Vespiquen, or if you could get your hands on a Gible you could start training that up posthaste. I can't post my team right now because it's in a constant state of flux, but once I figure out what I'm doing I'll showcase it for critique and such. the two that I always keep with me are

L77 Mewtwo (Reign)
L82 Empoleon (BlueWing)

Keep on truckin'.

[Opinionated]

No offense, but I'd take Psyduck and Kadabra out of your team for the Gym battle with Fantine. If you're playing Diamond, get a Stunky and evolve it into a Skuntank and level it until it learns Night Slash. Night Slash is basically Slash, but Dark type. Since Ghost types are weak against Dark atttacks and the bonus that it gets STAB from Skuntank, it'll cut through Fantine's team. Failing that, catch a Girafarig from Route 214 and Lake Valor. It's immune to Ghost attacks(being part Normal type) and learns Assurance, a Dark type move that can do good damage to Fantine's Pokemon. Lacking any of those, just whale on the Ghosts with Pokemon that are neutral to Ghost attacks.

I've just gotten my fifth gym badge and learned "surf". Now what? Whereever I go it's a dead end, what do I do next? lol

BTW, does anyone else here EV train?

[Zhafhiey]

Now, you go to Canalave City and basically just talk around. Take the ferry to Iron Island.

From there, I guess you should know what to do.

I've defeated Fantina (she talks funny) already, but I didn't do anything that Opinionated said because I wasn't on. But thanks for the advice!

Where do I get a Vespiquen anyway? A lil dumb here

I defeated Fantina using my Infernape's Fire attacks and Luxray's Crunch, since it's a Dark type.

Oh oh oh! And where do I get a Stunky?

My Current Team:
Kadabra - Lvl 35
Golduck - Lvl 36
Staraptor - Lvl 37
Luxray - Lvl 37
Infernape - Lvl 38

Currently training at Iron Island for the 6th badge. Any advice?

And this egg Riley gave me, what does it contain?

[Starblaiz]

So many questions!

1. I EV train. My Mewtwo slaughters in special attack.

2. To get a Vespiquen evolve a female Combee. To get a female Combee *slather* some honey on a tree and come back later, and if you're lucky it'll be a combee and if you're REALLY lucky it'll be a female. If it isn't female, just save your game before you check and then start over. The pokemon will stay the same, but it's level and gender will change.

3. Stunky is on Route....I'll have to check. But it's kinda rare, if I remember right. EDIT: 218 & 222! But only if you're playing Diamond. Otherwise you have to trade. Should be pretty easy. Oh, and I read that they're actually pretty common there, so my luck just sucked that day.

4. The Egg has a Riolu that will evolve into a Lucario! How excitement!

[Zhafhiey]

Thanks SOOO much Starblaiz!

Is Vespiquen good? If she is, I might consider getting one.

I have Diamond so I'll check those Routes for a Stunky.

And Riolu! Yay! I've always wanted a Lucario, so I'll take GREAT care of this lil critter.

Thanks once again!

[Opinionated]

Vespiquens are great. They're basically defensive tanks, and learn quite a few good moves, including a few exclusives. With the right natures and training, you can get her defensive stats and HP over 300, over 330 if you get it right. Unfortunately, due to Combee's nature, you can't breed moves onto her. Also, she doesn't learn very moves to cover her weaknesses. Still, she has stellar tanking abilities and many good moves, including the most powerful physical Bug attack after Megahorn, Attack Order.

It's well worth the hassle to get a Vespiquen, for training and breeding purposes. I've heard that female Combees are one of the surefire ways to get a trade off of the WFC.

[Starblaiz]

I agree, Vespiquen's great, and I'll be adding one to my party as soon as I can get a female Combee with a nature I like. Same story with Lucario actually, I think he'll be a really good staple.

[Zhafhiey]

My egg has just hatched, and Riolu is finally born!

Currently, my Riolu is at Level 18.

What are some good moves for him?

And as for Vespiquen? I think I'll get her.

[(_YvOnSo_)]

Your Salamence will be okay if you put substitute or something on it to block those icys. And I just looked it up, it's really rare to find a scale on them, but that's the only way. Try equipping TM 46 Thief to a strong pokemon and just knockin' 'em down 'til you get it. That's how I pulled the Magmarizer off Magby when I didn't wanna catch every one I saw. Good luck!

The first magby I caught had the Magmarizer and I wasnt even trying to get one. I just needed to catch one so I could it obtained. Speaking of obtained heres my Pokedex right now:

Seen: 355
Obtained: 294

My team right now:
Crobat: Lvl 100
Salamence: Lvl 100
Tyranitar: Lvl 63
Leafeon: Lvl 57
Infernape: Lvl 85, really want to take him out for a Blaziken, My favorite pokemon ever!, but I dont have a Torchic or Emarald Version.
Still lookin for another Pokemon to put as my last one.

Just got a Togekiss which has great stats but sucky ability. And when I went to the move relearner guy here are the moves it could learn.
- ExtremeSpeed
- Auro Sphere
- Sky Attack
Forgot the last one.

And I'll ask again does anyone know where I could find Chickorita, Totodile, and Cyndaquil on Leaf Green. And how do I get the Mystic and Aurora Tickets.

[asdfgh222]

I'm stumped in the Snowpoint City Gym, what PKMN should I train and use against the gym leader there?

[Zhafhiey]

In my opinion, Fire for Snover and Abomasnow, Fighting for Sneasel and Flying for Medicham... which, isn't... an Ice Pokemon... Weeeeeird...

[Wolfwood]

I know how to get the regi guys, that is one thing that is easy and easy for me to remember. But I cant tell ya because if I type it, I might type something wrong and mess u all up and I will tell you when i get the game again unless someone else tells u how before I could do it, but if u need to know right now i will tell u right away I'll do my thinking.

O yeah, THANK YOU Starblaize, I got a Kingra now, and finally got that Dragon Scale like I needed.

Yeah, and I changed my team up a little:
Crobat- lvl 100
Salamence- lvl 100
Kingdra- lvl 90, and guess what, I trained him just yesterday and look what level he is now.
Flygon- lvl 54 just hatched him from an egg this morning.
Infernape- lvl 85
Leafeon- lvl 57

Pokedex right now:
Seen: 360
Obtained: 300

Does anyone know how to get a dubious disc and odd keystone. Had it on my last game but I cant find them anywhere.

[Wolfwood]

lol no worries. working with my freind right now on an unbeatable pokemon in double battles ^^ requires some crossbreading or something i think ^^;;;;

[(_YvOnSo_)]

lol no worries. working with my freind right now on an unbeatable pokemon in double battles ^^ requires some crossbreading or something i think ^^;;;;

I can tell u right now, but it just going to be long post to type in. I can tell u piece by piece though. So u ever heard of that underwater cavern in the middle of the curents near Sootopolis City? If u know, u need these two pokemon, a relicanth, and a wailord. Ill tell u more once u do these. Tell me when u do.

[Wolfwood]

o yeah, i remember that one, pretty sure i know the rest from a walkthrough i read once. it'll take me adges to find my old pokemon games to get it ^^;
someone else i know said he still has them, so i might just borrow them from him to catch the guy.

[asdfgh222]

And this egg Riley gave me, what does it contain?

Wait, what egg? Where doid you get it?

[Wolfwood]

iron island, ya team up with him and get the egg. it's... i can't spell it >_>
but its a good fighting type to have. if i had my DS here i'd check the spelling ^^;;

[Opinionated]

The egg Riley gives you contains a Riolu, which evolves into Lucario, that same ultra-annoying Fighting type that Maylene uses against you.

[Marshmallow Fluff]

I love Pokemon Diamond & Pearl, it's awsum! I already have all the gym badges, and I'm training for the Elite Four.
