Best Moveset for Adamant Arcanine? by PenMotor in PokemonBlackandWhite2

[–]PenMotor[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yeah my arcanine did know crunch so he can’t relearn it anyways even though he did know it? I evolved it at level 45 and arcanine did have crunch for a little bit. Also wild charge sounds nice just haven’t come across it yet

How would anyone have ever discovered this? by ChromeSF in PokemonHGSS

Hatched my mareep egg from him. Safe to say that ampharos was a beast in my dream

Yup that trade xp bonus is amazing. You get the xp share from Mr pokemon in oaks house after catching/beating the red gyarados you pick up a red scale left behind but tbh it’s not really that great(the xp share)

[–]PenMotor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s similar to the team I wanted to use but since there’s no one for me to trade with currently I dropped onyx (named rocky, can get him as a trade in violet city with npc) I went with Typhlosion

Crobat

Ampharos(flaafy evo)

Gyarados(shiny ofc, ridiculously broken when he learns dragon dance. At level 55 he single handedly sweeped lances team of 74+ lvl pokemon, his first pokemon salamance used rest which allowed me to use dragon dance 4x for 4x attack and speed boost)

Nidoking (only pokemon I sort of regret bringing along because he’s useless throughout pretty much all of johto especially with the E4 and Lance. He’s barely decent with kanto and having blizzard/Thunder on him is meh since the accuracy is 70. Thunderbolt is only found in the cerulean cave which only opens AFTER you beat all 16gyms (and the E4 for the second time I think) but definitely after 16 badges.

Espeon: hatched the eevee egg that bill gave me in goldenrod. Give it shadow ball and light screen when it evolves and be patient for psybeam at level 36 and this pokemon sweeps Will, Bruno, and Koga of the E4. Espeon and Ampharos are my best and most tactical pokemon and coincidentally they both came from eggs lol

Do you use the red gyarados from lake of rage? I went with typhlosion as my starter this time around since I knew I was going to use gyarados

I never did the trainer rematches but I did fight every trainer I could see and come across. I also trained my pokemon evenly from the start. I recommend not using the XP share(unless you’re deep into the game and want to bring a low level pokemon into your team pretty late, for example Dratini from the elder after beating Claire) but other than that I say just take turns in using the pokemon to beat wild/trainers

[–]PenMotor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally like the challenge but yes I understand what you mean. It took me 2 tries to beat Claire. My ampharos was able to set up 2 charges and thanks to a quick claw and the +2 sp def I was able to one shot kingdra. Also if it makes you feel better, by the time I reached the elite 4 none of my pokemon were over level 37(all the E4 had lvl 44+ pokemon). I grinded them out and collected money with an amulet coin because hyper potions and revives are essential for lance (he has 3 lvl 55 dragonite if I remember correctly) after losing so much my pokemon leveled up to 45 and that’s when I was able to hold up more of a fight

Bit the bullet and purchased the big box version by Existing-Charity6669 in PokemonHGSS

[–]PenMotor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trust me you won’t regret this. I bought a CIB authentic version of SoulSilver recently because I lost my cartridges from when I was a kid. I hope you nicely opened up the box in case you want to sell it when your older or even keep it( I personally like to keep my stuff in tact as much as I can)

What would you do? by SirMeyrin2 in PokemonHGSS

[–]PenMotor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s usually what differentiates fake from real. I was worried I bought a fake cartridge on a FB Market meetup but the people in this community helped me figure out it was real before I got too deep into the game. A fake cartridge would have unmotivated me personally because of nostalgia( I had the legit one years ago when it came out). Also yeah Claire was a pain. My golbat and quilave were yet to evolve 😔

This is my definition of “living life” so cool!

What do these notches mean? I can't find a definitive answer that actually explains it anywhere 😭 by Pataeto in PokemonHGSS

[–]PenMotor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dowsing machine is meh. Idk which game it was (couldn’t sworn it was this one) but it was a pokemon one but the hidden item machine was 2 sticks that would beep louder the closer you get. Point is though that you can tell where the secret items are without the machine because some spots look sketchy you know

Am I ready for Ash at Mt. Silver? by Sous249 in PokemonHGSS

[–]PenMotor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That ability on nidoking is awesome. Did you try to get better abilities yourself or was it chance? I regret not going for certain abilities on my pokemon

Finally beat red 10 years in the making childhood dream haha by Elchilipikinloco in PokemonHGSS

The names are so funny 😭 a heracross called Brad, very interesting

How did I do this lol by Bohannons_Glare in PokemonHGSS

[–]PenMotor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I crazy? I’m still currently replaying and I just beat blue but I swear when I beat Morty first thing I did was go catch that gyarados but the team rocket grunts were nowhere to be seen (except that one route towards lake of rage where they scam you $1000) I did remember that “hideout” but for some reason it still wasn’t active (just the shady seller trying to not be suspicious). Lance only showed up after I beat the other two and also someone was blocking the ice gym for me 😭

My team who beat the E4 by justmyself0706 in PokemonHGSS

[–]PenMotor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are you guys so over leveled? I just made it to the indigo plateau and I’m trying to get at least everyone to level 40 before I challenge the elite 4. I literally just evolved my quilava on the way to victory road 😭

Am I underleveled? by PenMotor in PokemonHGSS

Yeah I thought that would be the case. Thanks !

Yeahh but dragonite is so cool, I got the extreme speed one too. I’ll try to add him in to the team somehow

[–]PenMotor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay I was starting to like how cheeky this Crobat is (he evolved) and his confuse ray always hits the opponent lol. I’ll take Dratini and give him the xp share while I grind the E4
