don't drink and metal burst
I think I might replay colosseum. I haven't played it since it came out like eight years ago.
Alright guys, Jecht's given me all the info I need to get a Pokémon RP running. If you all want to contact me, feel free to and we can start getting stuff ironed out. My steam is linked beneath my profile, and my Skype is the same as my username. I'm in GMT-8/PST, though I tend to stay up and wake up late (2am/noon respectively).
So I was searching for a zangoose moveset
and what do i find
someone asking if his zangoose with ice beam, thunder, and rain dance is okay
how does that even
why

Man I can't even believe I missed the first time this started up. I distinctly remember reading maximo's post now.

I will be joining up if possible.
Do you mind the fact that I am inexperienced in tabletop games?
Also when you say your skype name is your user name do you mean your FP user name or your steam name.
Already sent my request but its for future reference.

I'm having my first tabletop game too and so far it's going great, reading up a bit helps but Bio will give you guys the run down.
Already read quite a bit of the PTA (pokemon tabletop adventures) wiki and I know a bit about table top in general from reading excerpts so I should be alright in theory.

Zangoose (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Immunity
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Ice Punch
- Return
- Close Combat
This set works wonders in NU and can work alright in UU.
I'm playing a ROM hack of Black (Blaze Black) with all 649 pokemon obtainable in-game, as well as some Pokémon, Trainer, and item changes. Have this:
Beedrill (M) @ Scope Lens
Trait: Sniper
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Focus Energy
- Twinneedle
- Toxic Spikes
- Cross Poison
p. much crithacks all day every day
I have thought of yet another ludicrous idea.
A Metagross with a Brave nature holding an iron ball and using Gyroball/Trick and well the last two moves you could run earthquake and bullet punch to abuse flying types becoming grounded and gaining priority.
You could also run a mixed set due to not needing an adamant nature.
Could work as a potent abuser of trick room and being able to cripple speed reliant pokemon with trick.
I don't know if you guys know what nuzlocking is (I'm still not sure my friend didn't just make it up) but it's basically where you randomize all the wild pokemon and your starters in the game and then play, with some extra rules.
Anyway, we had a small challenge about it and I won.

The Nuzlocke challenge is a) never using a Pokémon that fainted (either box it forever or release it) and b) catching only the very first Pokémon you see in any given area. I personally suspend this rule until I get Pokéballs since you don't always get them before you can fight wild Pokémon.

i used that pokemon randomizer thing with a broken rom that randomized pokemon's types and abilities
it was insane
I want this Rom.
That could make for an amazing nuzlocke.

WONDER GUARD SPIRITOMB STARTER
AND THE HEAVENS TREMBLED.
Hey, pardon any disruption, but I kind of need some advice on my team build. I'm playing through Crystal again, after not touching it for years (mostly playing for nostalgia), and I'm stuck at the Elite 4.
I'd really like to avoid a ton of tedious, monotonous grinding and leveling by actually using the right 'mons instead of just whatever I caught along the way (my old strategy). I've been trying to take them on with a Growlithe, Butterfree, Sudowoodo, Gyarados (yes, the Lake of Rage one), Weepinbell and Pidgeot, all level 40, and it's just not working. I also have a just-caught Suicune, also lvl40, and a lvl31 Feraligatr.
I'm not opposed to going out and catching new ones, provided it's actually worth it, and that it won't take forever to get them leveled up. I'm also not opposed to tedious grinding if that's truly the only way - I just don't want to waste a week slowly getting these guys up to lvl50 if there's a better way.
I'm not really an "expert" player - I'm still not entirely clear on the EV concept, to be honest - which is why I'm coming here for advice. Sooo... any suggestions?
Well to start we need to know the moveset of your pokemons and see if we can improve any of them.
I would also note at which points you generally fail.
I assume as of right now you are failing at Lance for this you could put a couple levels on suicine with any remaining rare candies and buying enough coins to buy ice beam for him.
Or you could just be a cheap bastard and use X items to buff one of your team mates to godhood.

The flaws in your team are the low stats of your Pokemon. All of them have base stats that aren't nothing to brag about, averaging at 450 while average for defeating Elite 4 is 500.
Try finding Pokemon you can evolve to more powerful ones. Try finding an Eevee and evolve it into evolution of choice, maybe.

Yeah, I know, I probably have the worst team ever, but I've never played "seriously". I'm just having fun with a game I enjoyed way back in the day.
Also, moves:
Growlithe: Bite, Ember, Take Down, Flame Wheel
Butterfree: Psybeam, Gust, Sleep powder, Poisonpowder
Sudowoodo: Low Kick, Strength, Rock Slide, Faint Attack
Gyarados: Thrash, Bite, Hydro Pump, Surf
Weepinbell: Vine Whip, Cut, Poisonpowder, Sleep Powder
Pidgeot: Wing Attack, Fly, Gust, Quick Attack
Feraligatr: Water Gun, Bite, Surf, Scratch
Suicune: Leer, Bubblebeam, Rain Dance, Gust (note that I haven't done anything with his moves yet, that's how he was when I caught him)
I have pretty much all the TMs you normally have by this point in the game, and I haven't used any (I always tend to hoard them), so I can use those if they'd help (they probably will). And I'd like to avoid cheap bastardry - I may be just a casual player, but I have *some* standards.
Evolve Growlithe. Dump Butterfree and Weepinbell. Water type triple pronged attack gogogo.

Well lets start on the move set.
Many of your pokemons have attacks which they quite simply cannot use effectively.
In case you are not aware of how the attacking stats work I shall explain it.
Each pokemon has two attacking stat in earlier generations (everything before diamond and pearl) which it uses for its current attack depends on the type of the attack used.
For example Dark and water moves always use the special attack stat to determine damage and ground and rock always use attack.
Now here comes the problem you have for example gyarados has bite and two water moves while it incredibly weak special attack effectively giving it only one usable attack.
Same problem arises with sudowoodo that is never gonna deal better damage with faint attack then with rockslide.
So you want to start replacing all redundant or useless moves like watergun,scratch,ember,faint attack and so on.
Obviously you need to evolve that growlithe so to do that you need to go to route 36 and use the phone to fight school boy alan.
hahaha
you want to play [i]Gen 2[/i] and [i]not[/i] go through tedious mind-numbing grinding?
yeah okay good luck with that

Ah, so that's how it works? I'd only focused on having move types that would work well against specific types (bite was really only there to attack psychic types, for instance).
So, to recap: ditch the weed and the bug, level my starter up to at least 40, evolve the... tiger, or whatever Growlithe is, and then go through and figure out all my attacks.
Anything I missed?
It's the singleplayer, I did it with a level 45 Espeon and Suicune.

Surprisingly, I haven't needed to any serious grinding yet (and I'm halfway through the game), just one or two levels before certain gyms (Falkner, Whitney, and Jasmine).
