Micle and Custap berries to be made available in Japan

Unown Lord · Apr 13th, 2008, 10:46:27 AM

Two of the as-yet-unobtainable berries will be distributed to Japanese players as part of the upcoming movie promotion. Micle Berry will be found attached to the promotional Shaymin (which will be downloaded at movie theaters as Darkrai was last year); Custap Berry will be attached to the promotional Regigigas (which will be available for download at retail stores to those who pre-order their movie tickets).

As a reminder, the Micle and Custap berries are two new pinch berries, the former of which raises a move's accuracy (just once in the turn following activation), and the latter makes the next move to be used go to the top of its priority bracket (again, just for the next turn). Joining these berries to the elusive category are the Jaboca and Rowap berries, which will not be distributed this time around.

In case you are wondering, Shaymin's moveset will consist of Seed Flare, Substitute, Energy Ball and Aromatherapy. Regigigas' will consist of Crush Grip, Iron Head, Rock Slide and Icy Wind. In other words, Shaymin will have no special moves, whereas Regigigas has "inherited" two previously unattainable moves - Iron Head and Icy Wind - from Registeel and Regice, respectively.

This makes Regigigas the third recipient of new moves in this generation, with the first being Darkrai and the second - Mew (via Ranch). Considering the limited number and quality of promotional moves, it seems clear that serious moveset revisions will only arrive in the form of new installments to the generation.

Ahahahaha, Japan gets all the events...We get like, 1? xD

Shame about the no-special move on Shaymin, it really could use one.

Arzamo · Apr 13th, 2008, 10:49:39 AM

Is this to be trusted? If so, Regigigas will be even more pwnsome in Doubles. It won't even have to have any Speed EVs.

Unown Lord · Apr 13th, 2008, 11:00:11 AM

The source of this information is CoroCoro. You can view a snippet of the details, written in Japanese, here.

Jugrenae · Apr 13th, 2008, 11:33:10 AM

I hate japan for their events. T_T

Shaymin sounds decent, as long as the natures can be varying, I am all for it.

Regigigas doesn't need Icy Wind, does it?

TheMaskedNitpicker · Apr 13th, 2008, 11:34:59 AM

Finally. I've been waiting for the Micle and Custap berries. I don't care if they're not officially released here yet. PBR will still have to accept ones that have been traded to American games.

So these will be released on July 19 when the movie comes out?

Shaymin and Micle Berry will. Since Regigigas and Custap Berry are part of the ticket reservation promotion, their distribution will begin June 20.

Tytus · Apr 13th, 2008, 11:54:54 AM

Hopefully a few will find their way onto here. I want them :(

TheChuff · Apr 13th, 2008, 1:51:16 PM

If I manage to get my hands on either berry I'll grow a ton of them. I already have like 20 enigma berries.

+Legit shaymin makes me happy. I love grass pokes, I hate how both of the grass legendaries are events.

Do you people know all the broken combos Smeargle will pull off with Cutsap?

Nope. Tell us.

Pneuma · Apr 13th, 2008, 3:41:08 PM

Yeah, without Focus Sash, I don't see Smeargle getting a second turn to go first in.

TheMaskedNitpicker · Apr 13th, 2008, 3:42:41 PM

Well, it can learn Endure. I wasn't trying to say that Slice was wrong. I'm just curious about the combos he's envisioning.

Once they're released, no one will be able to tell the difference between a hacked one and a legit one from Japan. So yes, a lot will "make their way over here."

Shinryu · Apr 13th, 2008, 4:33:28 PM

I hope that Cutsap will make its way here, it definately has to be one of the best berries I've seen in a while.

XtrEEmMaShEEn3k2 · Apr 13th, 2008, 11:53:10 PM

I can't really think of any Combos with Cusap Berry that would be considered broken. The only thing that would come close IMO is Enduring the hit and then not having to worry about getting outsped the next turn before Baton Passing whatever Stat-ups Smeargle did.

Proto · Apr 13th, 2008, 11:59:24 PM

That's really quite interesting. I found an AR Code that gives max of all berries, and those four special berries are included. I'm guessing those berries are illegal until the berries are released in the US right? That would be interesting to use against others who don't know about it yet though. ;)

I meant the Pokemon, not the berries. Unless that's what you meant.

Just kidding, but thanks for the info . . . I'll have to go pick these guys up myself . . .

You should do a giveaway, limited by your own opportunity cost index of course. >.>

Chill · Apr 14th, 2008, 1:34:31 AM

Haha, I thought the actually berries were going to be available. You know how SE has made final fantasy "potions" available for sale?

Chou Toshio · Apr 14th, 2008, 5:54:00 AM

I'd clone a heap loads of berries and give them away on random ratatas and things . . . lol jk

odds are a giveaway shaymin isn't touching the ones got around anyway though . . . :/

SimChao · Apr 14th, 2008, 10:16:20 AM

I could see a lot of broken Custap Berry abuse happening on PBR once it's released.

BlueCookies · Apr 14th, 2008, 4:05:55 PM

When is this supposed to be? And I'm quite interested in hearing the combos Smeargle could pull off Slice n Dice.

***Mekkah***** · Apr 14th, 2008, 4:46:57 PM

You could uh, Belly Drum on a switch, Endure a hit and become faster than anything for once, then Spore. Baton Pass out and pray they don't wake up or have Sleep Talk.

To be honest, it's even more vulnerable to Sand Stream than your basic Subbing one. But at least it can beat Scarf to the punch.
