Topic: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way

[Halbred]

What does that special Jirachi unlock?

[BeautifulShy]

It unlocks the Night Skies Course for the Pokewalker.

[Halbred]

Ah. I unlocked it without knowing it was unlockable!

[BeautifulShy]

Well I just beat Jasmine. Her Steelix was a problem.
2 of my pokemons attacks weren't effective. My Espeon had Psycic and normal attacks.So I used Espeon so I could revive my Sleeper Roselia.
Absol had Dark and normal attacks so I used Leer on Steelix to make my psysical attacks more effective.
My Monferno's Flame Wheel worked once it was range of attack. I had Barbabroch to take on his Magnimite. Most of my team was in the mid 20's I had a few that were level 23. Tough battle.Steelix was level 35 and the Magnimites were level 30.

Now all my pokemon I can raise to level 70 so I will raise my team a bit more. Get everybody to evolve to their last evolution except Roselia. Need to get the proper move set for it.

[BeautifulShy]

Well I am currently in Blackthorne City. I see that there is a Move tutor in town but I can't get the move tutor to teach my pokemon moves. So what is the curency that I need to give to get my pokemon the moves they need?

[Halbred]

Heart Scales. Don't know where you get them, though.

I'm heading toward the League. Gonna need to do some serious grinding, though, if I want to rely on my HeartGold team and not my imported Pearl Pokemon.

[BeautifulShy]

Hmm I looked around and the person that you are talking about makes the pokemon learn any moves that that it might of not learned when leveling up. This can be helpful for some of my pokemon but there is another move tutor that you have to give BP's to and you can purchase different moves.

You can get heart scales in the pokeathalon, and also from breaking rocks.

Elite 4 is pretty crazy, but as long as you know your types, you should only really need to be around 45.  A great way to train for the elite 4 is to fight them over and over.  That or victory road, and the route before hand depending on what type you're training.  Just made it to Kanto myself!

Caught a shiny doduo also!

[Caterkiller]

I always fight them over and over with no items, eventually my pokemon get strong enough that they can win in one fell swoop.

[BeautifulShy]

Just beat Clair. I had problems with Gyarados and Kingdra.
Gyarados I had to use Stun spore to slow him down. Roselia was my lead.
I swtiched to Absol and set up Swords Dance on him and I used Pursuit and Quick attack to beat Gyarados. The 2 Dragonairs were not really a problem. I used Feralagator and its Ice Fang to beat them. I also used Taunt on them so they couldn't use Thunder wave.

Kingdra was a pain. The majority of my team was beat except Feralagator.

My team was Roselia at level 35,Espeon at level 36, Absol at level 35. Infernape at level 37,Wishcash at level 39, and Feralagator at level 34.
So I am going to try to get everybody up to level 50 for the Elite 4.
Also does anybody know when the Battle Frontier opens up?

[Halbred]

Most likely after beating the Elite Four. I'm going to power every up to at least level 50 before taking on the Elite Four.
 
P.S. I hate hate HATE dragging my useless Bibarrel through Victory Road. He's only here for Strength and Rock Smash. Takes up a perfectly good spot that I could be using to train my Lucario or Gengar. Screw you, HMs.

[BeautifulShy]

Well look at it this way you only have to go through Victory Road once than you can fly to where the elite 4 is.

No wonder you are having issues. Where is your electric type? I find that any team of mine that lacks an electric type has battle performance issues in tough fights.

[Mop it up]

Did someone say electric types?
Personally, Ampharos is the electric type which always helped me when in a bind. It can learn Thunder Punch and Fire Punch, giving it two differing moves, plus it can have Thunder Wave and Light Screen to help in sticky situations.

Ampharos would've tore Clair's team apart.

[BeautifulShy]

Here is the thing I have used all of the electric types that are in the game before.
I wanted to try to use pokemon that I haven't used before.The only electric type that I don't think that I used was Manectric.
I typically use Jolteon or Electrode for my electric type.

Besides I am a veteran to the pokemon games so it isn't like I don't know what I am doing.

[Stratos]

Huh, I could have sworn you had posted the statement about your difficulty with Clair in the form of a question so I was answering like you had asked why you were having a hard time. I'm way too tired right now...

[Halbred]

I do well in the Elite Four until I hit Lance's Aerodactyl, who creams everyone I bring out by that point.

[rbtr]

That was such a curve ball.  I don't even remember how I took care of it.

Lance was such a tough fight!

[Caterkiller]

Hello gang! BP take forever to get so I would like some help from anyone willing.  This is all done in the Battle Frontier.

What I want to do is get  these items:
Power Band, Power Belt, Power Bracer, Power Anklet, Power Weight and Power Lense. I have several pokemon with Maximum IV's in certain stats, and wouldn't mind helping anyone of they wanted to use them to breed. You attach those items, then the baby will guaranteed have the save IV.

Basicly if anyone can help me get some of these we can just trade them back and forth until everyone has their own.

[Halbred]

Heh. I got frustrated and used the Giratina that I'd imported from Pearl to pank Lance. Dude's got THREE Dragonites. Now I'm in Vermillion City, determined to beat everyone else the "right" way. I beat all of Lt. Surge's trainers with Lucario, but I wonder what surprises Surge himself has up his sleeve.

[BeautifulShy]

What level was his highest pokemon?

[Halbred]

Lv. 50 Dragonite. The other two are at Lv. 49.

[Caterkiller]

I had Blizzard and a choice specs to take care of Lance, even then it was only just enough.

[TJ Spyke]

If you use the same Pokemon as you did with the Elite 4, then the majority of Kanto's Gym Leaaders will be easy (only Blue/Gary of Viridian City is tough as his Pokemon are Lvs. 54-58)

They bumped Lance's other Dragonites? In the original G/S/C, one was 50 and two were 47. I had a tough time as I didn't bring and Ice Pokemon. Aerodactly was indeed tough.

Capturing Snorlax is annoying. It keeps healing itself with Leftovers, and anytime I tried using something like Thunder Wave, it would just use Rest.

BTW, I am willing to admit that I don't waste move slots on useless things like Light Screen, Screech, etc.

[Mop it up]

I used the Master Ball on Snorlax. I know it probably wasn't the best use of it, but that thing is tough to capture, and too awesome to go without.
