No, you don't "need" them, but as a previous poster stated, they are useful, and if you didn't know, you can find a certain Legendary Pokemon near the end of the cave with the help of Strength..
Sorry if this was answered, I didn't see it. Absolutely not Brave. Salamence is base 100 speed, and you really, really don't want to fall below that significantly like Brave would do to you. Losing to Haxorus at base 97 and Hydreigon at base 98 is fairly bad (along with the ridiculous list of pokemon at base 100). If anything, I would go after one with a +Speed nature.
I'd save it for later The IV's are set as soon as you enter the house, iirc
Yes. I beat the elite 4, and then went back and spawned the event, in both playthroughs. Saved before starting it, and was able to get different IVs/nature by resetting.
This brings up a question of my own.
Hitmontop, Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee (Not sure about Lee though) can learn Mach Punch as an egg move, then Drain Punch as a TM in Generation 4. Then simply transfer them, and there you go, a DrainPunch/MachPunch father for all of your Timburr breeding needs.
Thank you :D But now I need to plug back in my HeartGold and get a Tyrogue rom a Karate dude from....wait, I have an Infernape in my B/W and I can breed...okay, I see.
Oh, I thought it was by egg move, since I have a Tyrogue with Mach Punch and couldn't exactly remember how the family line got it. Thanks for clearing that up.
I'd suggest trading for one if you don't wanna breed your own, but I really would get Drain Punch. It gives necessary healing (while OHKO'ing alot of things after a Bulk Up or two, or at least dealing a ton of damage) that the set needs, especially since you would probably be running Flame Orb and not Leftovers.
Okay, I guess I'll once again breed for one. Hammer Arm was a good choce at first, since it could deal damage and Mach Punch could make up for the Speed loss.
I meant, breed a Hitmontop/Hitmonchan (with DrainPunch/MachPunch) with a Timburr/Gurdurr/Conkeldurr and you'll get Timburr eggs with Drain Punch and Mach Punch
You can try the (Ability) Swift Swim and (Ability) Drizzle threads, as if they're anything like I think they are, then there will be posters contributing sets to use under those conditions. However, both of those threads have been dead for a while now I believe, so if you bump either one with a contributing, useful post, then people might discuss them now (Even though it's unlikely since the combo is banned now, and those two abilities are less useful by themselves). For Pokemon to use under Rain, a few that I know will do well are Thundurus, Kingdra, Ludicolo, Kabutops, Omastar, Starmie, Lapras, Poliwrath, among others.
