    DPPt/HGSS Hmm, time to refine the team.

    Think I could try fixing the glass cannon situation? Try some odd EVs on some of your pokemon. Your metagross has agility, for instance: You could fill it in with HP, DEF or S. DEF EVs and allow it to take more hits.. so long as you give enough speed to reach 198, Agility will allow it to...

    DPPt/HGSS In need of some team help

    For the Starmie, I'd suggest Substitute or Confuse Ray over Recover... on pokemon not trained to take hits, recover does little more than cancel out the attack you're about to take. Either that, or consider Cosmic Power + Recover. Starmie -Substitute / Confuse Ray -Surf -Ice Beam -Thunderbolt...

    DPPt/HGSS Pokecharms Winter Tournament: Baby Cup Battle Thread

    I suppose I'll get on the mass PMing now. I'm going to just blanket PM everyone, even people who've already obtained their prizes. [Edit] Done, and I've also struck off all claimed prizes from the list now.

    DPPt/HGSS In need of some team help

    Well, since you sound like you are willing to rebreed.. I'll throw some of the other Mismagius attack possibilities at you. By breeding Destiny Bond - the ever spiteful attack that lets you take your foe with you. I don't really think I need to describe how it works XD Would be really useful on...

    DPPt/HGSS In need of some team help

    Milotic looks great the way it is... some options would be to give it a Flame Orb to boost defense.. You'll have to recover the damage off every four turns plus whatever you're taking. Doing this can also lure people into using special attacks for you to Mirror Coat. The burn also prevents you...

    DPPt/HGSS Pokecharms Winter Tournament: Baby Cup Battle Thread

    The top four contenders should list what they'd like to claim as a prize :) KoL and Aero, so long as you don't want the same prizes, which of you is third and which is fourth doesn't matter for the selection. All four of you get one pokemon and one item, just post your selection PM me if you'd...

    DPPt/HGSS Future WiFi Tournament Interest - Looking for names

    If anyone has difficulty with sets and doesn't want to post them publicly in the clinic, you can PM them to me and I'll do what I can to help :) Just please don't expect me to create your entire team for you XD

    DPPt/HGSS A random team of random

    The only reason that moonlight appeals is for the instant recovery... but I think I'll go with wish just for the team support possibility as well as unaffected recovery. As for Porygon2, as much as I liked Discharge's effect.. I don't see it as being much of an offensive threat given EVs and a...

    DPPt/HGSS A random team of random

    Blastoise @ Zoom Lens Quiet Nature -Hydro Pump  [96 accuracy] -Focus Blast [84 accuracy] -Rollout     [100 accuracy] -Yawn EVs 100 ATK 200 S ATK 210 HP The accuracies listed are so long as I'm slower... which the Quiet Nature helps with. Yawn is just a great move given Blastoise's bulk and the...

    DPPt/HGSS Yay! I Got an Event Shaymin! Now What Do I Do With It?

    I can't remember if the discussion is still open, but if Shaymin-S isn't banned here after Platinum's release, I'll cease battling entirely on this forum XD Also, no Lax does NOT Lower special attack. It lowers special defense and raises defense. There's an easy way to fix that [or at least...

    DPPt/HGSS Competition Ideas?

    Well, it seems that a single-type double battle is looking like a good idea XD Don't want to get too ahead of ourselves, since the Battle Factory hasn't even finished being sorted out yet.. but I'll go ahead and specify something of how I'd like to hold it. 4 on 4 double battle style. All team...

    DSi for all

    I seem to be the only one other than Alex to be entirely for the DSi XD I wish people could see a lot more than a camera has been added to it; I'm really looking forward to the DLC myself. SD slot will be nice too, though I don't see a full point of it yet.. aside from going alongside the...

    DPPt/HGSS Yay! I Got an Event Shaymin! Now What Do I Do With It?

    I do have to ask: did you already pick it up from the man wearing green? If not, you can keep retrying from him until you get a good nature/IVs. If you have gotten it from him, what nature does it have? Land forme suggestions: Shaymin @ Leftovers Bold/Calm Nature Natural Cure -Aromatherapy...

    DPPt/HGSS Skull's Pseudo breeding thread. (Riolu box clearout! Updated 6/12/09)

    I'm here for that event Shaymin as well. You know I consider most shinies as less valuable than their original colors, and that I give my event pokemon away as gifts.. so I don't have either to offer XD You should also know that I can breed most nearly any pokemon that's breedable and with...

    DPPt/HGSS I Need Help In Making A Team In Pokemon Emerald

    Please don't quote text pointlessly, Crazzii. And I'd suggest some punctuation before you land yourself in the Realm.

    DPPt/HGSS Battle Frontier Help. (Platinum)

    That sir, is not true It may be super effective, but I can almost assure Draco Meteor will do more, given Rhyperior's massive Defense, and not so mentionable Special Defense. Solid Rock will also significantly weaken EQs SE damage That said, Surf will definitely do more than Draco Meteor XD...

    DPPt/HGSS Pokecharms Winter Tournament: Baby Cup Battle Thread

    I should update this here bracket.. [edit] Got yanked on to go somewhere before I could; will be back later to do so unless Katie beat me to it. As a random side-note: Anyone who's willing to do some research for the Battle Factory, please PM me. I can't guarantee that I'll need your help, and...

    DPPt/HGSS Competition Ideas?

    Doesn't seem like many people look here or give attention anymore XD Just wanted to say if you like a tournament idea, give it a post saying you second it. Give a few details for why you think it's a good idea, maybe some changes you'd make to the previous person's post... A lot like is already...

    DPPt/HGSS Doctor Bob's Trading Post- Now with shiny and battle requests!

    I can do the Totodile and a Shiny Solrock? Seem fair to you? Once you have the Totodile, it's not hard to get more XD I'm not on actively often anymore, so it might take us a bit to arrange ^^;

    Your biggest mistake you've ever done in any Pokémon game?

    Consider yourself warned, Rees. I'd suggest reading over the other rules too :)
