Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I'm raising a Jolteon in-game in Soul Silver, trying to make a Charge Beam set. It's got Thunderbolt, Charge Beam, Shadow Ball, and hidden power, and the hidden power is Water-type. Power is uncertian, but seems lackluster. Should I keep the Hidden Power, or would a move like Substitute or Yawn...
So I have some fakemon. About eighty of them, actually. And I can't draw them.
If there is one artist out there with the right combination of kindness in their heart and boredom to help me, I will be happy.
I won't waste your time. If you are remotely interested, PM me and I'll fill you in on...
So I'm making plans for making my own pokemon game, or pair/trio of them, actually. This site seems to be populated by intelligent people who would be great to have nearby while doing such a project, so I'm probably going to use the social groups system this site has to make a base of operations...
Um, thanks for the complement. But the way, the "Xion" in that name is a mascot character of mine that has nothing to do with any other video game series, except WoW, and even that's pretty tenuous. It is pronounced "Kuh-Zion". He was around for ~2 years before 358+1/2 Days was known about by...
Yeah, this is for stuff like the battle tower, maybe PBR if I ever get it. I'm not really going for a competitive team (or else I'd use more powerful pokemon) but I want to be able to go up against a pro and leave him thinking "not too shabby". I have two more questions:
Is there any way I can...
Okay, I guess I'll run Toxic. I had chosen Confuse Ray because it seemed like the closest I could get to Thunder Wave on Umbreon, but it was actually a tossup between that and Toxic, so Toxic it is. What I'm really curious about is Sucker Punch. Is that doing any good there, or should it be...
Okay so here's my current prototype:
Victreebel
*Sunny Day
*Solarbeam
*Sludge Bomb
*Sleep Powder
120 HP / 252 S.Atk / 136 Spd
Holds Heat Rock
Typhlosion
*Sunny Day
*Flamethrower
*Rock Slide
*Solarbeam
4 Atk / 252 S.Atk / 252 Spd
Holds Life Orb
Umbreon
*Heal Bell
*Moonlight
*Sucker Punch...
Supposedly, they have difficulty due to the prevalence of Tyrannitar & Hippowdon, and their Sand Streams.
Speaking of weather...
Both Typhlosion and Victreebel have a Sunny Day set, so perhaps a Sunny Day team would be in order for my SoulSilver trio. Would having Sunny Day and Solarbeam on...
I wasn't looking for a good team for just beating the game. As Athenodoros mentioned, with only 3 pokemon I'm going to be overleveled enough that that won't be much of a problem. I was hoping for advice on building the team so that it could then be effective against other people, be it in the...
Okay, on a more directly pokemon note, I want to do a run of SoulSilver with a 3-mon team of Typhlosion, Victreebel, and Umbreon, in honor of my older sister who raised an identical team to Lvl 100 on an Old Gold version. Could I get some advice on good movesets/held items/EV spreads for such a...
I'm a big pokemon fan, and this community seems like a very intelligent one filled with people who know what they're doing, and that excites me. However, I'm not all that interested in competitive pokemon battling (I love to build teams, but I don't like "playing to win".) How welcome are people...
I came with ideas for my own fanmade pokemon game (that I will one day program from scratch and not romhack), searching for a pokemon community knowledgeable enough to help me keep my game reasonably balanced as I planned it out on paper. I've only been here for a week or two, but I expect I'll...
