I'm doing a Platinum Nuzlocke and I caught a Heatproof Bronzor. Will the AI know I don't have Levitate? (I think it will, but I don't want to sack my Bronzor for science)
I think your best bet is Reshiram, though it's version exclusive so I'm not sure if you have access to it. You'll need a +SpA nature with 31 IV/252 EV, some speed EVs- you should need 251 raw speed stat at most- to outspeed Aerodactyl, and some attack EVs if you have a Modest Reshiram with an imperfect attack IV. Reshiram's biggest asset is Turboblaze (i.e. Mold Breaker), which is extremely useful for ignoring Glacia's Snow Cloak and Steven's Sturdy Pokemon. Flamethrower/Dragon Pulse/Fusion Flare/Steel Wing should take care of everything, with most Pokemon just being OHKOd by the most effective STAB. Fusion Flare is needed to guarantee a KO on Claydol, while Steel Wing is for Carbink. The 90 accuracy on Steel Wing is unfortunate, but you only need it for one Pokemon so I think Reshiram's other strengths (basically being the only Mold Breaker Pokemon with enough power to KO everything) more than make up for it.What is [arguably] the best level 100 Pokémon to use to grind through the OR/AS E4 for money (post-game with the higher levels)? I'd obviously want an Amulet Coin or Luck Incense, so no Mega Stones or Red Orb / Blue Orb. It would need to be something offensive with 4 with accurate, higher-PP attacks (Thunderbolt, etc.), that offer good coverage against Dark, Ghost, Ice, Dragon, and Steel.
I'm thinking maybe a Mewtwo with Aura Sphere (Dark, Steel, Ice), Shadow Ball (Ghost), Ice Beam (Dragon), and Psystrike (powerful filler).

Question: Are discussions for high-quality fan games, such as Pokémon Uranium, allowed in Orange? It's not a ROM hack, but I am not too sure. As long as people don't think wishfully for the "Ohmagod; these Fakemon are so cute and cool!" to appear in a future (official) installment, fellow users should be good to go. Same deal might apply to linking to a download. As long as users avoid that, it shouldn't be a big deal.

I did damage calculations on 30 IV (this part was confirmed from the demo dumps a while back, while the E4 members are 25 IV)/0 EV neutral-nature versions of those Pokemon. Honestly, I didn't realize Reshiram learned Earth Power, so that's a good move to use over Steel Wing since it gets around the accuracy issue. Kyurem-W as you suggested should also be good.Obviously I need to rely on sb879's statement that Reshiram can't OHKO Claydol/Carbink that easily. I assume you tested it?

Now that I realize Zekrom learns Earth Power too, it might be workable with Thunderbolt/Dragon Pulse/Shadow Ball/Earth Power (fully special EVs/nature, of course). However, Zekrom can fail to OHKO Carbink and Mega Metagross with a minimum damage roll, though neither are threatening to Zekrom. Now I mentioned above that my calculations assume neutral-nature, but trainer Pokemon actually do have preset natures. I don't know which nature each Pokemon has, but if any of Scrafty, Mega Sableye, Abomasnow, or Claydol have +SpD natures, Zekrom can't get a guaranteed OHKO on them either. Both Reshiram and Kyurem-W are strong enough to account for this possibility so they are definitely better, but Zekrom could work if you only have Alpha Sapphire and can't get Reshiram.
Really minor nitpick, but since Metagross gets clear body, it doesn't need to deal with intimidate. Just in case s/he doesn't want to use or soft reset for a legendary, basically confirms that Metagross is the next best option.
- Metagross sounds nice and is worth a try. Packs enough punch to probably go through most of the E4 without boosting - it is, however, physical and can't get past sturdy in a single turn either and needs to deal with Initmidate. Closest thing to a solution until now, though.

Jump 200 times in Pokémon Jump and get 200 Berries in Dodrio Berry Picking
Hi all,
Quick question about FireRed. I am trying to 100% the game, but I've hit my first wall.
In order to have the best Trainer Card (4 Stars / Gold), one must :
My issue is with the last line's second half. I'm playing with VBALink, and I somehow managed to complete the first half : Jump 200 times. VBALink (1.8) worked perfectly with 2 Players (Single Computer).
Now, I don't know how to complete Dodrio Berry Picking! I can connect 3 Players (Single Computer) through the emulator, and it all works well until the very moment where the third must join :
1st Player is leader => so far, so good
2nd Player joins => still ok
3rd Player joins => can't join, I have a message like "Trainer unavailable, blah, blah"
Does anyone have a solution ?
- Can I play online with 2 other real players ? If so, how ?
- Can I fix the issue and play it solo on a single computer ?
- Can I somehow hack the 4th Star / Gold card ?
Thanks in advance to anyone reading and who can help.
It was deleted and there wasn't a new one made because it was considered pointless and in bad taste iirc.I remember a thread where people would laugh about the silly things they saw when watching people low on the ladder. I'm hoping someone could point me towards it again, if this is even the right place to ask.
