Piloswine! Go! Nickname him MtyGlacier.

Final update coming soon; sorry I've been MIA for the past few days. Check this space. :P

No, but he keeps wearing this pink suit and was apparently throwing parties in the Box. ;) Obviously Torchic will put you at a disadvantage against the first Gym unless you want to grind to Double Kick, but Marill and Wingull are common early-route pokemon, and you may get lucky and get a...

While Minun can't take a hit in the competitive pokemon world, she's been surprisingly resistant to taking damage, especially since I gave her the Lax Incense from Mt. Pyre which drops the foe's accuracy. Take Down from Archie's Mightyena only did about 30 damage to her, and she has around...

Oh wow hahahahaha. I am out of it. Electric definitely does not resist grass, it's the other way around. :P And yeah, I've been surprised too! Minun's speed is incredible, and honestly Thunderbolt is all you need with a lack of Ground-types / why would you keep an Electric in against a Ground-type.

Carbon's Emerald Nuzlocke Update 8 (Mossdeep, The Aquan Defeat, Sootopolis, Elite Four Prep) Big update today! We round out the Gym battles in one fell swoop and save the world! What fun! I start off in Lilycove, where I head to Mossdeep. No big deal. Go into the gym, fight the trainers...

Carbon's Emerald Nuzlocke Update 7.5 (Mt. Pyre, Magma Hideout, Aqua Hideout) Another intermediate update because I've been playing too much, and also not a lot happened here besides battles. After defeating Brendan, I went and evolved Numel into Camerupt, taught it Rock Slide, and then went to...

Carbon's Emerald Nuzlocke Update 7 (Brendan Battle 3, Winona, Brendan Battle 4) After getting J Fly back and putting Tropius away in the box, I proceeded to fight Brendan once more. Minun once again crushed his Pelipper and Lombre, while Spoink used Psybeam to 2HKO Combusken. An easy fight! :)...

@Zoso: Using Shedinja to wall Norman may be a good idea, but be careful because his Vigoroth knows Faint Attack, which will shoot you down! Take it out before sending in Sheddy. :)

@Ducklett; I know! Suicoon was one of my favorite members this run of Emerald, and it's even worse because it's my fault and not a game gimmick going wacky that's he's dead. Dustox deserves more respect. And looking at it, I see that you are ironman are right, and J Fly needs to be kept over...

@ironman: Against Glacia's Water/Ice types I plan on using Minun. Thunderbolt will do devastating damage. I forgot to add that into the plans though, thanks for bringing that to my attention. Also, thanks for the insight on my issue! The attacking stats and speed are a good point, I'm going to...

Kind of an intermediate update, since I'd like some opinions. Just a warning. Carbon's Emerald Nuzlocke Update 6 (Norman through just before Brendan Battle 3) My team is rather rag-tag since the last update; many changes have had to have been made. It all started with Norman... I made my...

Sorry about the double post, but it seems no one wants to post after me. Next poster will open the 100th page! Awesome, guys! Carbon's Emerald Nuzlocke Update 5: The End of Mauville through Flannery Left Mauville, fought the Winstrates, went to Route 112, caught a female Numel. This is...

While Toxic would be even easier, it would require me giving up Moonlight on Dustox, which I'm not sure I want to do if I can just muscle my way through Slaking. I'll think about it though.

That's true; I hadn't really looked into moves I'll be getting soon yet. Good idea on Secret Power Gyarados. The Building effect applies Paralysis, which will be nice against Flannery as well if I don't want to risk sending Queen Zeal in. Thanks for the Trapinch suggestion too; I'll look into...
