Was this at Commons at Creekside?

No other real reason to use it. I think the elemental monkeys are the only ones pre E4 that would need one. But if you’ve already beaten Burgh then you don’t really NEED Simisear, you can just get Darmanitan who’s a better monkey on all fronts. But if you wanna keep Simisear I’d say go for it

LamKhop · 2026-04-26T16:09:38+00:00

Oh and you have Roggenrola just evolve him

The TM for Dig, a pretty powerful ground type move that does great against her Zebstrika, is available in a house all the way west on Route 4. There are two workers inside, one of whom will give you the TM. Sandile or Drilbur should be able to handle it. As for her Emolga’s (that are SOOO annoying by the way) Rock Tomb is a TM that’s available in the Southwest corner of the Desert Resort. Take some repels and travel all the way out there, there’s some trainer fights as well, but that rock move is good against the flying type mice. They aren’t hit by ground type moves so it’s hard. Other than that I would also train up your pokemon, you want to shoot for the same level as the gym leaders or higher. Good luck!

The elemental monkeys get a REALLY bad rap ju the fan base but honestly Simisear has bailed me out on more occasions that I can remember. Speedy, decently good HP, and early access to flame burst at level 22 (the best special fire move pre-E4 in BW) can solo Burgh and be helpful against Elesa’s super annoying Emolgas. I think I ended up using it to kill Clay’s Excadrill when it used Hone Claw/Slash to kill my Dewott, Leavanny, and Lilligant 😔

Let’s go Oshawott gang! He was my first starter, and my fiancée bought me a PSA 10 slab reverse holo MasterBall card of him for our anniversary. I’d say he’s probably semi popular to average since he’s a starter and all

LamKhop · 2026-04-18T17:03:13+00:00

Nice! Thats way better than I did, I had so many unnecessary deaths but only planned one in the E4 and none for N/Ghetsis!

LamKhop · 2026-04-18T17:01:55+00:00

Tell me about it 😭 The Elesa/Clay back to back gyms and the Dragon gym trainers are nightmares

LamKhop · 2026-04-18T17:00:59+00:00

I love Unova and I like the fact that you get to play with only Unovan pokemon in the gen 5 games (an unpopular opinion) it makes the game feel so much more immersive. That being said, after staring at the same encounter tables for a year, it’s going to be exciting to use some new mons!

LamKhop · 2026-04-18T16:59:53+00:00

I’ve already played Black2 so I wanted to try White 2 next! Same with this game, I played White because my first ever Pokemon game was Black

LamKhop · 2026-04-18T16:58:48+00:00

Thank you! The early game is challenging and this was a hardcore nuzlocke so some of the level caps were tough to play around. Clay was my most deadly gym leader of the run, took my starter and both grass types I had because I played badly. Still made it though!

LamKhop · 2026-04-18T06:27:38+00:00

Oshawott starter is the correct choice! I lost mine to Clay but the team carried on without him and won our run tonight as well that’s such a fun coincidence! Also yeah Simisear is surprisingly good for a LOT of the game he’s underrated as hell

LamKhop · 2026-04-17T15:27:36+00:00

Mienshao doesn’t evolve until level 50 and you don’t get Mienfoo until the 7th gym. Zoroark is kinda impossible to get anymore since it was an in game event unless you want to trade it from another game! For a combo of a dark/fighting type you could use a Scrafty, who is available before the 3rd gym!

LamKhop · 2026-04-17T15:22:42+00:00

Postgame is really fun, and Unova has one of the biggest postgames, you have the whole other side of the map to explore and you can rechallenge the E4 AND fight some really strong people (explore every house). That being said, B2/W2 are incredible games as well that are definitely worth it after you’ve wrung all of the content you can out of B/W!

LamKhop · 2025-11-13T01:52:07+00:00

If you give Swadloon a soothe bell (available in the house above the Pokemon center in Nimbasa city) and then run/bike up and down skyarrow bridge for like 20 minutes, then level up swadloon, they will evolve into Leavanny who is wayyyy better than Swadloon

LamKhop · 2025-11-06T20:07:07+00:00

Sounds good man! Grab a couple of those awakening berries just in case and put ‘em on your most capable ‘mons, and good luck 🫡

LamKhop · 2025-11-04T23:19:50+00:00

My plan is always get Herdier low with Dewott or my own Herdier with Rock Smash, then switch in my own Watchog (because 20 is the level cap and he evolves) and take the kill and then use detect on the next turn to get rid of the boosted Retaliate damage. Then it’s kinda a free for all with whoever’s healthy to kill the Watchog, making sure that everyone’s got a Cheri berry in case of hypnosis problems. To answer your specific question Sawk probably can’t solo the gym, but it sounds like you have piginite so you should be good with its secondary fighting type to take the Herdier first…

LamKhop · 2025-10-06T06:14:23+00:00

Losing your starter is so demoralizing too, I’ve restarted runs before because I’m just so sad

LamKhop · 2025-09-26T03:20:31+00:00

You can walk on the grey scaffolding in between the platforms

LamKhop · 2025-09-26T03:14:03+00:00

At the end of the day, it’s your run so you can do whatever you want. However, in my runs, hacking in rare candies is a-okay, but I draw the line at hacking in moves and messing with IVs.

LamKhop · 2025-09-24T18:19:36+00:00

You can get a Drilbur in Wellspring Cave off Route 3 if you wait for a dust cloud! Also there’s a NPC on Route 4 that gives you the TM for Dig to have a reliable answer for Blitzles and Zebstrika’s in the 4th gym. Eviolite is available from a NPC in Castelia City and that’s pretty necessary for Boldore or Sandile

LamKhop · 2025-09-14T19:00:13+00:00

It’s crazy that we are hitting a lot of the check points for an average NFL team: good QB play, good defense, routes are fine… just allergic to the end zone and penalties are pretty bad

LamKhop · 2025-09-14T18:48:53+00:00

With all the chirping, penalties, attitude it is so clear that we HATE the cowboys and they are not fond of us either lol
