All my Pokemon are weak to grass-types

    I caught one in wellspring cave, well before Nimbassa city. They appear in the dust clouds that rarely appear there.

    Wait a minute, Zubat doesn't learn Giga Drain naturally. And random Pokemon trainers don't usually use TMs. How did you come across a Zubat with Giga Drain?

    Wasn't a random trainer. It was one of the leaders of Team Plasma.

    If that don't work, use more gun.
    ?  Uh, were you playing a ROM hack or something?

    No... Team GALACTIC*, sorry.

    In the Galactic Building, in Eterna City. Commander Jupiter, top floor.

    Sam thing happened to me with Zekrom.

    They have high catch rates.

    Really annoying, though.

    Also, incidentally, my current team has a major major weakness to Rock.

    ... Pure Rock types are uncommon though, aren't they? To say nothing of the rarity of Rock moves.
    Or at least that was the case in the first 3 generations (i.e. the ones I've played).

    You don't need pure Rock-types. You have things like Archeops (Rock/Flying, 416 max Attack, 350 max Speed), Rhyperior (Rock/Ground, 416 max Attack), Armalda (384 max Attack, 354 max Health), Bastiodon (478 max Defense) and Terrakion

    And when N or Team Plasma wield moves like Stone Edge... You just know that Stone Edge will hit you very time.

    I'm not familiar with that move... but then I don't remember a lot of moves introduced after the first gen games.
    At least you can be assured that Rock/Ground types are not ever going to be a problem... well... in theory.
    If you're still doing your "only catch the first in an area" thing... I imagine you're riddled with Normal types.


    Simply... either get some Fighting or Steel types... or just stick those moves or Water / Grass on one of your other Pokémon via TM... preferably Special attacks rather than Physical.

    Nah, I got it covered. I just had to wait him out, even the computer has to deal with PP shortage. That and Reshiram just OHKO'd everything/

    I'm not sure why anyone ever finds any Pokémon game a challenge though. Ever. It puzzles me. I haven't ever had a single actively used Pokémon that I haven't overlevelled to the point where it could win despite a total type disadvantage. I always used to grind like an absolute motherfucker to ensure that my mons were about 10+ levels above anything I was fighting against at any given time.
    Plus when I was catching new ones, I'd generally catch about 10 of them, keep the one with the best attributes and throw the rest away... or better yet, breed for maximum power.

    Have you ever played in the Battle Frontier?
  • SotiCotoSotiCoto

    I have only played the first 3 generations. Ruby was the last handheld one I played, and Colosseum on the GC was the last Pokémon game I played altogether. It was the one that put me off in the end. It just struck me as a ridiculous cash-cow franchise after that.

    It was released with Emerald. Generation 3.
  • SotiCotoSotiCoto

    That was JUST after I quit then.
    Emerald was the Rayquaza one, wasn't it?

    Yes, it was.

    The Battle Frontier had intelligent AI with good Pokemon. If you didn't train yours to its' absolute max potential and then do amazing in battles, you'd be slaughtered.

    Ah. Guess I missed out then.
    I'd still have beaten it.

    Mostly on account of my having, aside from my legitimately selected and trained master mons....  genetically engineered Ubermons. Most of them had maximum possible attribute genes (i.e. their attributes were all as high as it is physically possible for them to be), though some were capped at Colosseum legitimacy level (Colosseum wouldn't let you use mons that were plain obviously cheated)... and they had whichever moves I deemed most appropriate for their role, irrespective of whether they could be gained legitimately or not.
    My Endeavor-Shedinja was one of my personal favourites. It was a guaranteed 2-hit-kill on anything that didn't kill it first... and an obvious choice really. <3  ... A tad gimmicky though. Mostly whenever I brought it out, the opponents would just switch to a flying type or fire... and destroy it.  -_-; ... If that didn't work I'd try my Toxic / Curse / Leech Seed Gengar ...  ...  then when that got beaten I'd get pissed off at them and bring out my maximised Mewtwo / Kyougre team for maximum curb-stompage.

    BUT generally I preferred using my personally trained team. Because some of the fun is in the training... not just the thrashing everything.

    Time for an even harder challenge.

    The 5th gen is noticeably more difficult.

    I beat it easily enough.

    I'm not saying it was too hard. Just harder. Especially a lot of the stuff after the Elite Four.

    This one chick had a Rapidash that could OHKO all my Pokemon, everytime I fought her.

    I was TPW'd once the entire game- DAMN YOU GHETSIS

    I got up to the Dragon Gym, and realized, fuck, none of my Pokemon know any Ice or Dragon-type moves.

    Where are you in the game right now?

    Postgame.

    Got up to Black City, then realized I forgot to save at all when my DS battery died.

    So I'm just up to the postgame now.

    But it's Platinum I'm doing my challenge in.
  • CaptainFargleCaptainFargle
    You really don't need Ice or Dragon moves to get through Opelucid Gym. It's not Blackthorn where the mons had semi-decent movesets. Iris/Drayden instead use the laughably stupid Dragon Dance/Dragon Tail combo.

    Dragon Dance will wreck your shit if you're not fast enough.
