Then I got a Flareon, but I still wasn't satisfied, so I tried again, and I got Espeon. Go Magic Bounce!

I can't wait for the Dream World to start.

Is there any way to get the opposite Dijin in your Pokedex without trading?

It's kind of funny how some of the costumes and whatnot are limited or not available yet, but if you change your region a different set becomes not available - so you can mix and match to get stuff not totally even available yet from one region...

No.

Showsni · Mar 29th, 2011, 3:16:36 PM

Gah. I'm not bad at break out, but that site makes it practically impossible to play well; it eats up 100% of my CPU, with no options to lower the quality or anything. Don't Nintendo care about people with rubbish computers? Guess I'll have to wait until the family PC is free...

(And when a website eats up 100% of my CPU my wifi drops and I get disconnected because it's not getting enough CPU to stay running. So it's kind of like a self defeating thing.)

thelaytonmobile · Mar 29th, 2011, 3:28:22 PM

So how many levels does the breakout thing have? I've been having similar problems to Showsni, but instead of completely cutting out, it skips occasionally. I need to know whether to give up and try again on a different computer, or just keep going on mine.

You realize if you wanted Espeon in the first place you could have just caught all the psychic orbs (and ingored every other orb) and earned it on the first try right? ;)

Only 4 levels. Its quite easy. Took me 3 tries. The first try I killed myself because I thought if I lost I'd get to pick anyways. The second time I got to level 3 and got cocky and lost too many lives to survive the 4th level. And the 3rd time I breezed through.

Make sure to catch all of the orbs that are the same type as the Eevee you wish to catch. IE: If you want Vaporeon, catch all the water ones. (The ice ones look REALLY similar though.)

I amanged to do it fairly easily on the other computer; you need to complete four levels, as Bombkirby said. I had one annoying try where I lost on the last brick of the last level due to dodging the ball as it came to me... Oh well, got my Espeon now. Back to playing Sableye's gem game!

I was so close! Well, I lost at the start of level 4, but...

cantab · Mar 29th, 2011, 4:27:58 PM

Best so far was two bricks left on level 4, and I died :-@

This. For those going for Vappy (we'll need some Hydration Vaporeon circulating), I'd suggest stocking up on the blue orbs in the first 2-3 levels, and you should outnumber the ice orbs in the 4th level. This game is actually kind of fun lol.

Hopefully some people will go for Leafeon as well, it is a decent sweeper in Sunlight. The rest are...subpar at best.

Are you trying to suggest that Inner Focus Umbreon or Quick Feet Redundancy Jolteon Redundancy are subpar?

IcyMan28 · Mar 29th, 2011, 5:07:36 PM

I am indeed. Inner Focus sucks for Umbreon because so few flinch attacks are used (Jirachi's Iron Head, and Umbreon can't beat Jirachi anyway).

Quick Feet Jolteon is overkill - Volt Absorb already gives it an immunity to Thunder Wave and heals it. I guess it speeds up when burned or poisoned but then, what doesn't Jolteon outpace anyway? Quick Feet won't help it get past Ferrothorn or Tyranitar anytime soon, either.

Ice Body Glaceon is decent, but Glaceon's horrendoes movepool makes it a subpar pokemon in general. At best, it reduces it's Stealth Rock weakness to that of 1x.

Finally, Guts Flareon. It doesn't particularly threaten much with its 65 base power Fire Fang, and with its DW ability it loses access to Superpower (which is absolutely needs for Tyranitar).

Without a doubt, the best DW abilities for the Eeveelutions are Magic Bounce, Hydration, and Chlorophyll. In that order.

EDIT: I got your sarcasm, but there are those who won't so I posted my reasoning lol.

cantab · Mar 29th, 2011, 6:11:37 PM

Does it even matter what one you get, since won't breeding a DW Eeveelution have a chance of producing an Anticipation Eevee, which will then evolve into any Eeveelution with its DW ability?

Hutch3 · Mar 29th, 2011, 7:31:53 PM

Heading into the elite 4 for the first time, want to see if anyone notices any weaknesses on the team that I should worry about on the first run through. They are all level 46

Conkeldurr
Chandelure
Samurott
Sigilyph
Excadrill
Galvantula

One problem I notice is I have 0 ice type moves on the team and Samurott is the only one with a dragon move and that's dragon tail, am I gonna have to worry about that on the first run through?

All Eeveelutions so far have been male, and males can't pass the ability on.

I'm confused. There's a game on pokemon.com that plays like breakout where you can win a free DW eeveelution? How does it know how to get it to you? Is your DW account linked to pokemon.com once it is up?

I might be nitpicking, but you seem to imply that you need to catch ALL of a certain orb to get a certain one, when you actually only need to get more of that orb than the others.

I got an Espeon, then made another account and got a Vaporeon. May stockpile some more if I'm ever bored enough.

Shinryu · Mar 29th, 2011, 11:24:42 PM

What game is this you guys are playing for eeveelutions? I would love a nice Magic Mirror Espeon...

Hutch3 · Mar 30th, 2011, 2:35:23 AM

Just caught Reshiram, brought it down to about 1/2 health, used a quick ball after 3 turns, and caught it...is it supposed to be that easy?

Omicron · Mar 30th, 2011, 3:08:51 AM

Wait, can you stockpile eeveelutions? I thought you could only connect to one account per game? Oh and are the natures and IVs set? Or can you reset for them in the Entralink?

Son_of_Shadoo · Mar 30th, 2011, 4:44:08 AM

So, apparently, I'm TERRIBLE at breakout. The lag is actually helping me, but I still haven't got past level TWO.

Green Mage · Mar 30th, 2011, 5:05:24 AM

Looking back on that old "what pokemon would you want on your team thread", I said that I would go through the game with Whimsicott, Eelektross, Volcarona, Mienshao, Chandelure and Zekrom. My lack of knowledge was on full display lol.

I finished with Erufuun (later Virizion), Krookodile, Archeops and Victini. One out of six isn't bad I guess.
