Pokemon Platinum - The definitive thread: Mach 2 (In-Game Discussion)

Oh wow, potential Swords Dance + Leaf Blade + Gunk Shot Victreebel sounds really nice, even though Sceptile could still do it better. But Victreebel's one of my favorites so I love seeing it gain some power.

Eruption + (maybe) Earth Power Entei sounds great too.

Again, Hydro Pump already accomplishes this, plus hitting possible Gengar switchins which Earth Power would fail to do.

Quote from analysis..
Note that if Heatran has 168 HP EVs or more, you have a shot at not OHKOing it with Hydro Pump (in addition to the 20% chance to not OHKO Heatran anyway because Hydro Pump can miss). Max HP Heatran has a 1/3 chance to survive Hydro Pump.

And that's HP ground, Earth Power would certainly be a nice addition to Salamence.
 
It does the same thing Hydro Pump does, hitting Heatran, Tyranitar, and now Empoleon as well.

I can see a Scarf Mence with Draco Meteor/Outrage/Fire Blast/Earthquake or Earth Power being pretty deadly.
 
Alright, I'm back at Platinum-rushing, but everything I could bring up has been already revealed.


...but I have useless information for all of you!
First of, Gligar's blue. Yes. The standard Gligar looks just like DP's shiny one. I wtf'd when I found that out.

Remember the Bidoof girl from Solaceon we all loved to get some HP EVs from? Well lol, she has a Ponyta now. And no Bidoofs. ;w;

Scrolling your items in the bag is much faster. Everytime I scroll it down, I drop a tear of joy.

And again, I'm in love with Skuntank's new sprite.

Save your tears; the Japanese version of D/P had super-fast item scrolling too. For some reason the English version scrolling speed became a ton slower.
 
Victreebell has more Attack than Sceptile, a second stab, absorb Toxic Spikes, it learns Encore, Sleep Powder and Stun Spore, and with Sunny Day it could be a great attacker with Leaf Blade, Gunk Shot, Swords Dance and Leaf Storm/Sleep Powder/Encore

Awesome .. about the Cowgirl whatever she's called..I can always just EV train in Diamond..
 
I'm in love with skuntank period. She won my first "real" battle for me when I was just beginning to learn about the competitive aspect. Mixskunk FTW.

Regarding Salamence: in addition to specs with outrage I'd go with
@ Yache berry
DD
Outrage
Dragon claw/flamethrower
EQ

DD and see what they switch in. If it's weavile or mamowsine switch or attack. If it's a slower Ice beamer DD again and see what you can do with +2 attack and speed.
 
Battle Frontier:

Battle Factory (Same)
Battle Tower (Same New Look)
Battle Roulette (Already Mentioned)
Battle Castle (Pokemon do not heal after battle, spend castle points to heal, see opponents team etc.)
Battle Stage (One pokemon ((or two in multi)) against a full team of the type you choose.)

No confirmation on battle points what you can spend them on, Serebii is waiting until the full release.

hm now that all secrets are revealed... should i still try playing the japanese version?
Click to expand...

They haven't all been revealed. We still don't know if there are other move tutors left, where Dialga and Palkia's whereabouts are, where to do that Regigigas event, and most importantly, whether there is an IV man in Platinum.
 
End of Page Syndrome, reposting

Serebii on the Battle Frontier:

Battle Factory (Same)
Battle Tower (Same New Look)
Battle Roulette (Already Mentioned)

Battle Stage (One pokemon ((or two in multi)) against a full team of the type you choose.)

Why not something like this:

Salamence @ Yache Berry
- DD
- Outrage
- Draco Meteor
- Earthquake
 
Yay, more things I noticed.

Some trainers have Seals [or whatever they were called] on their Pokéballs. Specially Pokéfans- their Pikachus all come out full of hearts.

In Double Battles, the trainers don't wait for you to talk to them to battle- they come to you like the Single trainers.

And most of the new sprites are way better looking than their DP counterparts. Vaporeon isn't doing a faceplant-thing anymore, though.
 
I dunno all these move tutors should be interesting...really adds a lot considering a lot of pokemon can learn them. Now to find out exactly WHAT can learn them
