I just beat the Elite Four yesterday. They were really hard the first time since I wasted all my money on Ultra Balls and so by the time I got to them I only had around 10k which wasn't enough for Revives or Hyper Potions.

Steelix pretty much saved me against Lance. The moment he sent out Aerodactyl, I sent out Steelix, use Curse 5 times and just sweeped his entire time. Was really weird that his CHarizard never used any fire move on Steelix.

How do you guys spend so much money? I'm OCD about having a shitload of Pokedollars left over so I don't run into situations like that! :D

Shit! In the 3rd battle at Battle Tower in Battle Frontier the opponment pulls out a Shedinja.. and I had no super effective moves on my team... Oh well I'll just let it struggle itself to dead, I even have Iron Defense on my Metagross, shouldn't be that much of a problem... WRONG 6 critical shadow sneak in a row and my team is completely wasted...o_O Oh well at least it wasn't in an important fight.

Every time I see a new Pokemon in the wild I just have to catch it before I leave the place. So I ended up buying a lot of Ultra Balls. Plus I only realized how useful Amulet Coin was when I was fighting the Elite Four so I missed out on a lot of money.

I found out about auto-run about 50 hours into the game. :lol

Well, damn. I just read about this auto-run business and I'm 78 hours into HG already. :lol

Okay, something happened and I can't figure it out at all. I was playing in the Battle Frontier with my Gengar who had a Focus Sash. After I was done, I don't think I had fought any wild Pokemon. But I was moving some Pokemon around in my boxes/party and noticed that my Gengar no longer held the Focus Sash. I checked to see if I accidentally moved it to my Bag or to another Pokemon but to no avail. It seems like it's lost forever and I can't figure out what happened to it. :( By the time I had saw that the item was missing, I had saved already. *sigh* Does anyone know of any possibilities as to what may happen to the item?

I've got over 150 pokes caught so far and have thrown maybe 3 ultra balls the entire game (not including the five or six I threw at Lati@s). Learn how to catch!

I saw a Swords Dance Shedinja when I casually tried the Hall with Metabross a while back.

It's nothing good really in the hall, but fuck, that thing can set up quickly if it pops against a Pokemon with no Super Effective moves. Sandstorm is a godsend in those situations.

I guess it's also good to be super careful when switching in on that thing because then they might figure out from that that you just switched in your only Pokemon who has a Super Effective attack, and squash it. Don't know if the Battle Frontier is that smart though.

I have this problem, except I also get an urge to USE all the new Pokemon I catch... it's counterproductive.

Well that's the thing. I never bothered with Great Balls or regular ones. Just wanted to use Ultra Balls to make my life easier. Though now I have around 80k so I'm wealthy enough to buy whatever I want. Though I will probably blow the money away to get the Kanto Pokemon.

I have three female Eeves I don't need. Their IVs are average, but IIRC they have at least one perfect IV. You know what to do.

0045 5148 8653

Edit: If someone has a spare Gible I could really use it. I have an adamant Larvitar with IVs 15/30/17/16/15/31 (I'm not sure what's the order you use, but whenever I write IVs my order is HP/ATT/DEF/SPA/SPD/SPEED) that knows both Dragon Dance and Outrage.

Choose one:

Taken 1 - Above average - Can't be better Sp.Attack - Rash
2 - Decent - Can't be better Sp.Def - Quirky
3 - Above average - Can't be better Def - Careful

Thanks for the Gible. I still have those two female Eeves if anyone else is interested, and the Larvitar from a couple of posts ago.

Anyone have a Metang and/or Shelgon? I'd be willing to trade, if I have anything you guys want.

EDIT: Eugh. Just traded for a Croagunk on GTS... they named it "HOOTERS3".... $#@!

Just made an impulse buy of HeartGold on Amazon. I'd probably get an XL too, but by the time I get back to my summer job and have extra money, we'll already know about the 3DS.

Deposited money: $987693
Held money: $848589

It's taking me longer to hit the cash limit in this game due to Mom, but it's going to happen soon enough.

Has anyone been seeing flying pikachus in the yellow forest route? My friend apparently has about half a dozen surfing ones (they walk a lot) and hasn't gotten a flying one yet.

I haven't, but other people have. I assume he has at least 10000 (8000 if you bring an electric, ground or grass Pokemon) steps?

Is it worth teaching Gengar Dream Eater? His current move-set is Hypnosis, Shadow Punch, Shadow Ball and Night Shade.

No, every move in this set is awful except for Shadow Ball. Teach him Focus Blast and Thunderbolt.
