Pokémon It's the Pokemon thread - Part 2

Sometime midway through the game Pokeballs are almost useless...Great Balls are I think a waste of money...Once you get to Ultra Balls, those are the best bang for the pokebuck

Quick Balls are actually the best, they have a 4-5x catch rate on the first turn. If you can get Pokemon in the red and paralyzed or asleep, Pokeballs are fine.

 

[Ramsay Snow]

If a battle takes too long, Timer Balls are great.
For Bug-type and Water-type Pokemon, Net Balls are best.
For capturing Pokemon in caves or at night, Dusk Balls.

Also, it would help if you activate Capturing Power before you encounter a Pokemon. That would make things even easier. Activate that power and then use Quick Ball on 1st turn.

good point, need to use quick balls and net balls

 

[Ramsay Snow]

That power is so good that I caught the legendary Xerneas with a Poke Ball.

whats the best way to increase my level? just keep giving the o-powers to others? or using it on myself?

I like giving it to others but people rarely acknowledge it

 

[Matt Mortem]

I caught Xerneas with the first Ultra Ball I threw.

 

[BlackMagicWolf]

same here! It was weird!

 

[WolfCypher]

Xerneas/Yveltal's catch-rate has been lowered to make it easier to catch since its capture (while still optional) is important to the story.

This was the same deal with Zekrom/Reshiram in BW (whose captures were mandatory).

Not sure but I just kept using it on myself. But, to be honest, even a Level 1 power can do the trick. I think you have to use a power about 10 times to increase the level, but don't quote me on that.

My brother started one of the many Facebook groups for XY. It's where I got most of my friends from. https://www.facebook.com/groups/157321037778534/

Ok this is really confusing...I dont even know how to register my pokemon global link, the site online has to place to register or sign up for a pokemon trainer account when i click on it.

[Ramsay Snow]

OK, I think you need to have a trainer account first, and then go to the website you posted.

I sorted it out, thanks. The problem was that their servers were so busy I couldnt even get the page to operate on the web.

It took me a while to figure it through google searching, they dont make it easy

 

[Ramsay Snow]

I hate when that happens.

 

[WolfCypher]

Caught a shining Woobat.

Four minutes later, a shiny Hawlucha appeared.

 

[SuperFerret]

I've never had an non-hacked shiny, if we're not counting the Eevee I just evolved for my brother.

 

[Ramsay Snow]

Great stuff, Wolf!

I'm breeding a few Pokemon competitively so after that, I hope to challenge some people again.

I have a shiny Gyrados from Soul Silver....

Damn, counting your Chespin you reset on, that's 3 in one game. The only shiny I've come across is when I used an Action Replay to give myself 999 Old Amber to get Aerodactyls to put onto Pokemon Ranch to get Mew. One of them was shiny.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

I've never seen a wild shiny.

 

[Zeus]

im debating if i should do the trick to get shiny by using poke radar when i beat the game

 

[WolfCypher]

I actually am going to use the shining Hawlucha (until I can breed a perfect IV regular Hawlucha...cause the shining Hawlucha is fugly)

 

[WolfCypher]

Ooookay...so...shining Pansear now. Seriously.

And by the way, except for that Chespin, these have all been in the Safari Zone.

I googled it. I kinda like the shiny version.

 

[WolfCypher]

I'm only using it becuase I used the IV Calculator on neoseeker to see its IV's, and their all 25 or higher, with ATK and Speed being 31.

Remember...I still don't like shinies...Except Greninja...which I want.
