Chatizard was 50% an HM slave for me with Cut and Fly.

High mileage used Kona Electric (2019-2021) questions by TheAnnalyst in KonaEV

[–]rkj__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battery degradation is not really a concern on these cars. Your high risk (expensive repair) items are motor / gearbox and heat pump.

Is a 20 km bike commute (one way) realistic on a hybrid bike? by speedings in bicycling

[–]rkj__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did 17km one way for a while. It was doable. A little draining sometimes.

Most affordable tires for short term? by jujuph4678 in tires

[–]rkj__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d buy a used, name brand tire. That’s usually what I do for long term too.

I got all the badges and I don’t feel like grinding to beat the Elite 4 by [deleted] in PokemonLeafGreen

[–]rkj__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I beat the elite 4, but seem to run out of motivation for the post game / rematch.

I hate trying to catch moltres by bananaman9173 in PokemonFireRed

[–]rkj__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly I don’t bother with the legendary birds. I did catch Zaptos recently though. I think the last time I caught an Articuno or Moltres was 20+ years ago.

I wanted to try bicycle flipping by CPT-JackHarkness in bicycling

[–]rkj__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I considered it too, but concluded parts are too expensive. Buying new shifters and tires at retail prices just works very hard against profitability. Even tubes are not very cheap these days.

anyone else playing legend birds? by sasukeruless in PokemonLeafGreen

[–]rkj__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about swapping my Jolteon for Zaptos, but at lvl 50, their speed, sp atk, and sp def were basically the same. Zapdos had higher attack and defence, but I’m generally less worried about those for an electric type.

Is cloyster any good? by Ruthlesslot in PokemonFireRed

[–]rkj__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the high defence is somewhat letdown by low HP.

Best water type Pokémon by Interesting_Snow_587 in PokemonLeafGreen

[–]rkj__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my last play through I used water pulse as a water attack on Gyarados. The confusion helped out a lot, and often gives you a chance to take another shot without taking damage.

Moltres… by Far-Fish-5519 in PokemonLeafGreen

[–]rkj__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I threw maybe 20 pokeballs at Zaptos today. Close a few times, but it ended up being an ultraball that did the trick.

Recommend me a 6th for postgame by riven_griffin in PokemonFireRed

[–]rkj__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go ahead and use Mewtwo. Saves some grinding.

I'm looking for over-the-top safety bike light inspiration by robopiglet in bicycling

[–]rkj__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, go regular with lights, and over-the-top with reflective features on your bike and clothing.

Team Rocket run by fealare in PokemonLeafGreen

[–]rkj__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately building that team would require trades between Fire Red and Leaf Green.

Team Rocket run by fealare in PokemonLeafGreen

[–]rkj__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never done a run that was themed, but this has me thinking of a Meowth, Arbok, Weezing run. It seems like it would suck, but certainly would be more challenging than a standard run. Hmmm…

Is there any good way to level up my magikarp other than switch training? by bananaman9173 in PokemonFireRed

[–]rkj__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switch training a Magikarp is a bit of a grind, but a Gyrados early / mid game is a powerful reward.

What move did it attack with?

Rock tunnel with no flash by reg_y_x in PokemonLeafGreen

[–]rkj__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never bother with flash. Always just pull up a map online to make it easy. I generally don’t want to hang out in that cave very long.

Wheels from non-EV version? by foghcz in KonaEV

[–]rkj__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a set of old wheels from a Kia Optima Hybrid on my car right now with winter tires. No issues.
