man that sucks to the max. I feel sorry for you.

Tempted to make some remark about how that wouldn't happen on a cartridge game, but losing a shiny is too much of a pain already.

Druddigon really isn't that good or even cool-looking though, you didn't lose much apart from the sparklies.

Could you hack it back in? Seems to me it should be easier to do on a ROM than a cartridge game.

While I'm posting here, I might as well complain that I'm hating the Battle Subway more every time I try it. It's impossible to cover every threat with 3 pokemon, meaning you'll eventually run into something you can't beat or worse, get randomly critical-hitted by something you should beat, and getting 50 wins is basically a series of dice rolls.

I keep telling myself I'm going to just give up, but then I eventually get a new idea and try again. Right now I'm thinking a more offensive team might work better than the bulky stall/set-up teams I've been using. In particular, I think I need a fast Choice Scarf revenge killer.

Current best team, I think the record is 44 wins:

B-17 - Standard spiker/phazer/physical wall Skarmory (lead) (Skarmory is amazing. I've used him on every team since I got him for the HG/SS Battle Tower; definitely the MVP.)
Amorina - Special wall/Toxic-staller Gastrodon with Storm Drain (it's fun switching her in against water-types because the computer apparently doesn't know about Storm Drain and keeps using water attacks to give her +6 special attack

)
Bumblebee - Bulky Multiscale Dragonite with Dragon Dance, Outrage, Roost, and Substitute (tried Fire Punch instead of Sub but found I needed protection from status and Outrage can plow through most steels after a couple dances anyway. Also, she's nigh impossible to kill if I manage to get a Sub and then Roost to full health without it breaking

)

My team mainly consists of Lucario, Altaria and either gallade or togekiss.

I usually end up running into pseudo's or paralysis or a curse spammer :P
I'm thinking about a lapras aswell.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #443 on:** January 16, 2012, 02:55:23 AM »

Seems like a good team there in terms of type synergy. But why Altaria? Personal preference?

I have a Lapras (named H2Ownage) in Pearl that was my first really successful Battle Tower pokemon. It can be good but you have to watch out for all the weaknesses the ice typing gives you. The moveset I used was Rain Dance, Hydro Pump, Thunder, Ice Beam; in retrospect though it is better to set up rain with something else before sending in Lapras. Also, Starmie probably does that moveset better.

ty4er · « **Reply #444 on:** January 16, 2012, 09:49:39 AM »

Personal preference and the resistances come in handy. Thanks for the info about lapras though.

Oh yea now i'm training up a ferrothorn and eelektross. And i've restarted white (up to 2nd gym already with Pignite lvl 17 and roggenrola lvl 16, gonna get a pansear if i find one easily enough)

Badnik96 · « **Reply #445 on:** January 16, 2012, 10:16:30 AM »

bleh Pansear gets no good moves until like level 20, and you already have a fire type so why bother?

ty4er · « **Reply #446 on:** January 16, 2012, 10:17:49 AM »

because i dont wanna use my starter :P

And i can easily get it high in levels in the forest.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #447 on:** January 16, 2012, 10:23:09 AM »

yeah but it sucks.

martymidget · « **Reply #448 on:** January 16, 2012, 11:06:34 AM »

Or you could wait to get a Darumaka.

they wanted to add 151 pokemon each gen. So now they are unoriginal.

GEN I and II forever

Seriously. Does that http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Altaria_(Pok%C3%A9mon) looks like a dragon to you ? at best this is a water/flying.
