Look At What I Chained

Its actually quite good. 20 hp don't matter as much since Lickylicky has huge hp base and the defences are top notch. Usable for support Licky.

That's what I was thinking. I mean, 30 and 27 aren't flawless, but realistically it won't even make a difference. The attack is a bit of a bummer, but Lickilicky has ways of getting around that.

it's not the 20 hp I was talking about, but the 9 attack. not a big deal though

and yeah kb where's the update, that's why I'm putting off replying to your pm lol

I'm thinking of running a set like this:

Impish @ Leftovers
-Explosion/Earthquake/Gyro Ball
-Protect/Rest
-Toxic
-Knock Off

The main idea is to Toxic whatever it can, Knock Off leftovers and such, and stall/scout Choice users (particularly CC Heracross) with Protect, and blow up in Blissy's face with Explosion. Earthquake would be an alternative for steady damage while waiting for toxic and hitting poison types who resist it (except for Gengar). Gyro Ball would be useful in hitting quick things like Gengar and Weavile as well as Scarfers. Rest could be an alternative to Protect for healing after stalling. Would require a cleric on the team though.

Also, as more of a gimmicky set, I could try:

-Gyro Ball/Earthquake
-Return/Explosion/Brick Break/Power Whip
-Screech
-Knock Off

Screech would force switches, where Lickilicky would promptly Knock Off their item. It would also get around his lackluster attack IV.

And finally, the Choice Item killer.

-Protect
-Disable
-Gyro Ball/Earthquake/Toxic/Rest
-Knock Off/Explosion

Protect to lock them into a move, then either switch or disable. Just for fun. :)

Any opinions?


Oh, and to keep this on topic with the board, what shiny should I go for next? I'm using Pearl.
 
oh. yeah, it does. whoops. time to go edit my first post then.

also, im at a chain of 21 tauros', so i should be back later with some awesome shiny jolly tauros'.
hopefully.
 
no, bagon is one of the pearl exclusive. its on 210 in the north. bring a defogger.
i know cuz of this shiny larvitar that i chained before.

i was trying to get one with 31 hp so i could make a boah, hence the quiet nature. i figure he'll work anyway.
 
fuck i keep forgetting half of these are only in pearl...

well. here's how things have progressed for me:

yesterday, i worked all night. got home, tried chaining for grimer, since houndoom is a pearl exclusive (as is bagon apparently, so scratch off two i was really looking forward to, i may have to just buy another game here pretty soon... or put diesel on them lol).

i got up to 39!!!! then i fucking broke it. i personally think it was pure luck i even made it that high in the downpour that was going on... during the day, i tried chaining grimer again, and it was much better! i got up to 40 and i caught one (QUIRKY PIECE OF SHIT) shiny grimer. i still can continue though as it's been "sleeping" all day waiting for me to come back to it.

if the rain intensifies as i think it might as time progresses, i may have to wait until the morning to resume, rather than risk blowing it.

so no update, sorry lol i was very excited about it though. hopefully i can get a good adamant muk for everyone (no egg moves required bitches!).

i am thoroughly disappointed about not being able to do houndoom and bagon though, i was going to chain literally 100 bagon with a variety of natures :( how lame.

perhaps diesel will take one for the team though, we shall see.
 
I have pearl too :X I could take a stab at it! I'm prepping for bagon as we speak. (finding some good synchers)
 
any thoughts on these two? id love to stop if i can....

both are adamant (and both are bloody stench lol)

26 / 20 / 4 / 20 / 23 / 8

31 / 21 / 25 / 12 / 17 / 17
 
I could try my hand at Bagon if you want, but I'm still a beginner.
Diesel would have a much better shot.

For now, I'm happy with my Lickitung. :)

EDIT: That second one looks good, kingbattlus. Also, no real updates with Blaziken.
 
route 210 north i believe diesel. im heading out, its after midnight here and to be up at 7:30 tomorrow for class. i should be on after work though so shoot me a PM with any happenings that you wanna share.

i got more one shiny grimer but after 5 obviously i cant check it. i put it into hibernate mode again, try some more tomorrow before i call it a wrap on grimer (and again, i hate the rain). IVs are two posts up if you're cuious as to the two best right now.
 
well, ive been chaining taurus for about an hour or so and have 2 shinies so far, but now its time for school, so ill have to resume this escapade later. but ill be back later with hopefully more than two shinies and
IV's.
 
I would say so.
The silver magnemite looks really cool, plus they're hard to breed anyway, so your IVs won't be that bad compared to the ones available.

Now if only we could chain Staryu...

Hey the Suny I'm talking about we're good friends,he PM'd me yesterday and asked me to join smogon,could someone tell me his use rname here

PS: Hi,Smogon!
 
I'm sorry, I don't know who you're talking about.

I assume that Larvitar is shiny?
Unfortunately, people at smogon are obsessed with IVs, shiny or not, and that Larvitar's poor defenses probably won't get you any trades.

However, it's fun to keep as a prize. :)
 
Yeah, maybe ev it and go to serebii to trade or something. Theyd go crazy for just about any shiny ;) ( No I AM NOT ADVERTISING ) A shiny still though...

Hmm.. resetting swarms... meh I am not a good chainer anyways, my last attempted chain broke at 39.. .__.

I've only chained like 5 times total, gotten 3 successful times.

Snubbull, Swablu, and Lickitung so far.
