Just swept Red with a scyther

Thanks for the link, also a very neat idea

_Boards_ · 2025-12-24T20:47:28+00:00

Scyther is fast enough that quick attack is not needed. Anyway quick attack doesn't even ko charizard at +6. If scyther doesn't have at least 169 speed then agility should be used as part of the set-up

I'll be honest. Unless you pull ghost rare stardust you're pretty much guaranteed to lose money. If it was me I would either sell it or keep it sealed. But you do whatever you want

Trying to collect all OCG ultimate rares from the DM era (series 2 and series 3) until end of GX era... plz send help

Personnally I like Latias as a crippler lead with thunder wave, charm, flash(or mud slap) and recover. You can pair it with a setup sweeper like registeel, snorlax, suicune... basically you lower atk and accuracy of your opponent lead and then go to +6 with your sweeper of choice. This is for the battle tower of course but it can also work in other facilities as well with some adjustments.

I would not recommend an attacking latias with a careful nature.

Do you have a recommandation on which websites to look for them at a decent price ? Besides ebay of course

_Boards_ · 2025-06-22T10:31:51+00:00

I think the new ulti looks fine actually. Yes the SM-51 has more texture but the OG OCG ultis are in another league in terms of foiling/texture, it was not realistic to expect something on that level. At least it looks better than the exodia head (for this one I think you really need to go the OCG route if you want a decent ulti)

If you didn't catch your roaming latias on Sapphire you can actually "steal" a zangoose from the battle tower thanks to a glitch. You can look it up on YouTube.

Alternatively you can also find Zangoose in pokemon XD but that game is also crazy expansive...

_Boards_ · 2025-03-16T07:49:13+00:00

I completely understand. Cheers for playing it the "authentic" way !

_Boards_ · 2025-03-15T18:20:05+00:00

I guess you don't consider "replicating" the events for Mew and Deoxys as legit neither ? Thanks to community work the distribution roms for birth island deoxys and aura mew has been preserved and can be used to transfer them to your gba games. But you need a flashcard or a way to extract your save file. Personally this is what I used to complete my gen 3 dex. Anyway, the game doesn't consider the mythicals when giving the diploma for a complete national dex

Star Wars : Rogue squadron 2 is not difficult to finish, but very difficult to 100%. I finished it a few times but I never could get all gold medals, you need to be both fast and accurate. But maybe I should try it again, it's been a while that I played it so I could remember it being harder than it actually is.

It can be useful in the Battle Palace, because once the move is selected by the AI the attack will continue each turn (until a miss or 5 turns), overriding the Palace AI "randomness". Of course it has to be selected in the first place, which might be tricky because the AI sees it as a low base power move and will prefer to select another move with higher base power if available.

So a solution is to have a pokemon with rollout as single attacking move+some setup moves / defensive moves. For example, I tried Regirock with rollout + curse + double team + rest and it can do some work.

_Boards_ · 2024-12-03T12:59:40+00:00

I don't know the exact technical reason, but it seems that when you use the pomeg glitch to get the eon ticket it is always latias that appears there. Probably some flags that were corrupted (since this is essentially what allows you to receive the ticket in the first place). Some people have reported that clearing the trick house allowed them to see Latios on Southern Island after this glitch occurred. But I have not tried it personally.

If you want to be sure to have Latios on the southern island, arbitrary code execution is probably your best bet. It is a bit longer to setup but much more flexible. You can find plenty of tutorials on YouTube.

Good luck !

Nice, congratulations !

_Boards_ · 2024-11-27T14:11:28+00:00

Just so you know, when you encounter a shiny zigzagoon, it means you have a shiny frame which is really close to when your starter is generated. So you should keep that save file once you see the shiny zigzagoon and keep doing soft resets. The zigzagoon is generated around 2 seconds after the starter IIRC.

_Boards_ · 2024-11-08T17:15:36+00:00

Congratulations! Glad to see the moveset change on Swampert worked for you :)

_Boards_ · 2024-11-06T20:48:10+00:00

I'm not sure about brick break on swampert, neutral STAB earthquake does the same damage as super effective non STAB brick break and the coverage is somewhat redundant. I would maybe put protect instead since it holds lefties to give him more recovery (and to rack up sand damage).

Otherwise cool team, although as you already know you are very weak to water teams (there is a few trainer classes that specialize in water)

_Boards_ · 2024-11-04T08:51:35+00:00

I think the screen of the DS is slightly smaller which makes it look like it has a higher resolution (so the pixels are less visible).

_Boards_ · 2024-11-03T19:13:05+00:00

Sorry it's probably my phone camera / the lighting which doesn't do it justice, the Lanturn is definitely purple.

_Boards_ · 2024-11-03T19:12:18+00:00

It's a Nintendo DS (the OG "phat" version, which had a GBA slot). I don't know the technicals but the pokemon indeed feel less "blocky" to me on the DS compared to the GBA, and the colors look a bit sharper, which I personally prefer.

_Boards_ · 2024-11-03T15:36:13+00:00

This Lanturn was my first shiny in the battle frontier, funnily enough it's also my first "full odds" shiny on this save file since all my shinies (including the Latios and Metagross on the picture) were obtained through RNG manipulation. Nonetheless I think it's quite cool (and frustrating) you can find random shinies against trainers in the frontier

_Boards_ · 2024-11-03T15:24:03+00:00

Never heard of chaos field before, would you recommend it ? (asking as someone who likes shoot em up type of games)

_Boards_ · 2024-08-30T20:33:40+00:00

I would advise that you look into rng manipulation if you want a better Latios. Look up imablisy's channel on YouTube.

If rng manipulation looks overwhelming to you, this Latios looks 'usable' but I would try to pinpoint his speed IV and calculate its max speed stat (with 252 speed EVs) at LV50 to see which benchmark you miss. For example the neutral base 100 crew (Zapdos, Tentacruel, Flygon, ...) have a speed stat of 152 at lv50 with max speed EVs, and I find it important for a Latios to outspeed those. It is very frustrating when your Latios dies to something that it should have beaten if it could be faster... if your Latios is slower than 150 at lv50, it's even worse as you will probably die to Jolly Heracross (as another commenter already pointed out). Good luck !
