1) 305. Welcome back to Pokeradar Pearl! As always, answer in alphabetical order unless specified otherwise, and answer with a Pokemon’s nickname if it has one. To recap, the team is here:
https://pokepast.es/6405b85a33e02ccd. The events of the last part ended with Zeiol prepping his team and getting ready to challenge the league. With bated breath, Zeiol enters the hallowed chamber. He's first greeted by Aaron of the Elite Four, who accepts the challenge, leading Dustox as Zeiol leads Ninjask. Dustox goes for Double Team while Ninjask uses Swords Dance twice. Zeiol smirks, and instantly obliterates the Poison Moth with a perfect-accuracy Aerial Ace. Ninjask's momentum carries forth, similarly OHKO'ing the incoming Vespiquen. Aaron senses danger and goes to his ace, Drapion. Bug Bite mitigates its berry, dealing around half, as Ninjask is brought to the red with Ice Fang. Zeiol's giggling in anticipation and calls for Ninjask to use Baton Pass! Sapphire receives the large attack and speed boosts, taking minimal damage from X-Scissor. Sky Uppercut seals the deal, as does Fire Punch on the incoming Beautifly and Heracross. Zeiol's had a very decisive victory, and he's elated. This move is the most common to Aaron's Pokemon. [
bug buzz]
2) 306. Zeiol proceeds to the next chamber to be greeted by an elderly woman called Bertha, also accepting his challenge as the second Elite Four. She leads Quagsire as Zeiol leads Jumpluff. It's first put to sleep and Giga Drain knocks it out easily. Next up is Sudowoodo. It's put to sleep, and Jumpluff’s Leech Seed and Giga Drain fell the opponent while taking minimal damage itself. The next contender is Golem, who is also put to sleep and annihilated with two Giga Drains. Zeiol is chuckling a bit as he never expected Jumpluff to be this overpowering. Up next is another 4x grass weak Whiscash, who, surprise surprise, is ALSO put to sleep and taken out with Giga Drain and Leech Seed. Finally, Bertha's Hippowdon is up, a behemoth summoning a sandstorm to go along with it. And wouldn't you know it, it's too put to sleep and seeded, but since Giga Drain is low on PP, Zeiol swaps to Slowbro as the foe stays asleep. A double Surf quenches the sand hippo, giving Zeiol his second decisive Elite Four win. Despite that, Zeiol did wonder about Hippowdon, as he wanted to catch one some day. If Zeiol wanted to obtain its pre-evolution in the wild at the highest possible encounter rate, this is the minimum amount of money he'd need to spend; assume he has no overworld, gift or underground items and an empty bag. [
5000 / 2000->11(11 unown), 4000->22(11 unown) 1000->27(4 unown+hippo)]
3) 307. Third up is Elite Four Flint, who's happy to see Zeiol again. He's happy that Volkner is energized to battle again and accepts the challenge, sending out Rapidash as Zeiol leads Slowbro. Thanks to Slack Off to keep Slowbro healthy, it's able to survive Rapidash's attacks and KO it with all of its health remaining. Next up is Flint's Drifblim, dealing massive damage with Ominous Wind and getting the omniboost. Zeiol swaps into Ninjask as it falls asleep from Yawn, setting up two Swords Dances and passing the baton to Sapphire. The still asleep Drifblim falls to Thunderpunch, and Sky Uppercut fells Lopunny. However, Flint's Infernape is still faster and dispatches Sapphire with Flare Blitz(must have EVs, no neutral 31 ape can outspeed). Emerald's up next, lowering its speed with Rock Tomb before falling as well. Jumpluff's able to put it to sleep thanks to this, and Zeiol swaps to Smeargle, who transforms into the baleful blaze, felling it with two Earthquakes. Steelix is last, but it can't damage the transformed Smeargle and it falls to Flare Blitz. All in all, quite a close battle that could've gone either way. As Flint mentions his plan to use Baton Pass with Drifblim to pass boosts earlier in the match Zeiol couldn't help but wonder how that would have been, even if he'd have lost to the tactic. If a Pokemon was to receive all the possible boosts that Flint's Drifblim could pass to it (consider Zeiol’s team as well), and was then hit by Punishment, it'd take a lot of damage. If Punishment's base power was not capped at 200, what would its base power be in this scenario? (exclude STAB) [
700]
4) 308. The last of the Elite Four is Lucian, who puts down his book and accepts the battle. He leads Mr. Mime as Zeiol again trusts Jumpluff. By now, he's developed a strategy to use it and Ninjask in sync, and switches to it, setting up two Swords Dances as the mime stays asleep. It's downed by Bug Bite, the incoming Medicham by Aerial Ace, and the subsequent Girafarig and Alakazam by Bug Bite. Before Lucian knows it, he's down to his last Pokemon, Bronzong. Bug Bite scores a critical, dealing massive damage as Bronzong simply goes for Calm Mind. Lucian bails it out of KO range with a Full Restore, as Bronzong unleashes Psychic, KOing Ninjask. At this point, Sapphire swaps in and roasts the Iron Bell with a Fire Punch. Victory is claimed over the Elite four! Lucian picks his book up again, and wishes Zeiol a good fight with the Champion. as he returns to read. This sole devotion to reading impresses Zeiol, as he wonders if Lucian's Pokemon have rubbed off on him. Out of all the possible abilities that Lucian's team in this game could have, this is the most common ability. [
inner focus]
5) 309. Finally, Zeiol ascends the last elevator to see who the champion is. This is finally his chance to ask for passage into the Battle Zone. With bated breath, he enters the chamber to find Cynthia! She thanks him for his actions on Mt. Coronet, and accepts his challenge. The stakes have never been higher. She leads Spiritomb, as Zeiol leads Jumpluff. It's put to sleep, but Zeiol's uncertain about repeating the same tactics as before since it seems to be a ghost type with some bulk, quite the strange combo. He decides to weaken it with Leech Seed and Giga Drain, as Spiritomb can't do much in return. He decides to swap out to Ninjask to set up some Swords Dances on the asleep ghost. He's able to pass +4 Attack and +2 Speed to Emerald, who fells Spiritomb at half health. Sensing danger, Cynthia sends out her ace, Garchomp. A towering level 66 frightened Zeiol, higher than even his highest Ninjask at 48 as it cleanly knocked out Emerald with Earthquake. Slowbro's up next and tanks a Brick Break to put it to Sleep with Yawn. Smeargle swaps in next, uses Swagger then Transform to acquire the terrifying draconic powers, felling it with Dragon Rush and levelling up in the process. Dragon Rush was a powerful but inaccurate move; if it could consistently hit, damage would be aplenty. If this move was used on the prior turn, Dragon Rush would see the largest possible boost to its accuracy if used on the next turn, excluding Lock-On and Mind Reader. [
gravity]
6) 310. The gravity of the situation intensifying, Smeargle just barely survives the incoming Lucario's Earthquake, but the retaliatory EQ does barely anything! This is because upon levelling up, Smeargle's stats were no longer the powerful Garchomp's, but its own! This caught Zeiol off guard as Lucario outsped, cleanly OHKOing Smeargle. He'd never seen anything like this bewildering interaction before. From there, while Sapphire deals with Lucario, none of his team can muscle up to Cynthia's Milotic, netting Zeiol his first loss as a trainer as he whites out. He rushes back to the Pokemon Center in the league to heal up. After making sure his team's fine, he feels like no training is needed, but rather just giving Smeargle a few Rare Candies beforehand would solve the issue; he'd easily have won if not for the level up. How much money did he lose from the white out? [
5760]
7) 311. Still pumped with adrenaline, Zeiol charges forth after healing his team. The Elite Four who were watching the battle sympathize with him, acknowledging how hard an opponent Cynthia is to beat and just this once, let him pass without a battle. Soon, Zeiol's back to face her using the exact same strategy as before. Before he rushes back, he stops for a while to ponder the consequences; losing here means he'd have to beat the Elite Four for good. He sits down near the elevator and looks at his team and supplies, reviewing the last few battles. To ensure that he didn't lose to Cynthia in the same fashion, Smeargle ate a few Rare Candies and this item was given to Ninjask, to help reduce the Experience that Smeargle received. [
exp share / fun fact! This setup might seem odd, but it’s an in-game way to incorporate resets, there’s no way I would battle the elite four again after as asinine a thing as this]
8) 312. The battle proceeds in exactly the same way as the previous one, but now that Smeargle is a higher level, it doesn't level up upon defeating Garchomp. From that point on, it takes until Cynthia's last Pokemon, Roserade for Smeargle to level up, by which point it's dealt more than enough damage, fainting every Pokemon thus far besides Spritomb. At that point, Ninjask uses all of its power landing a critical Aerial Ace to cleanly OHKO it, granting Zeiol the win! Cynthia's impressed by the tenacity of his team, and takes Zeiol to the Hall of Fame. On the way, she asks about Zeiol's team, as none of the Sinnoh challengers she's seen have used Pokemon like that. Zeiol delightedly explains the entire story to her and why he needs access to the Battle Zone and Stark Mountain, as Cynthia's intently listens. Prof. Rowan appears soon after, congratulating Zeiol on becoming a real Champion. Before any further talk, they're at the Hall of Fame and Zeiol registers his team, proud of them all. With that, he prepares to head back to Twinleaf for a long, well deserved rest. Before he departs, Cynthia gives him a letter, telling him to open it when he's back. As the credits roll, images of Pokemon he's captured along the way flash in Zeiol's mind. However, even if he didn't obtain these three Pokemon, they'd always be the first silhouettes seen. [
chimchar piplup turtwig]
9) 313. A small celebration is held back at Zeiol's home as his mother congratulates him on the League conquest. He's also glad to be back in his own room for the first time in ages, and before he heads to sleep, opens Cynthia's letter. He punches the air in delight, it's the Battle Zone clearance he wanted for so long! It details how a ferry from Snowpoint will get him there. Happily, he falls asleep, reminiscing about his journey. The next day, he unfurls his Town Map and takes a look at where to go next. He's sure that if he heads to the Battle Zone, he wouldn't want to explore any other new areas. With that in mind, he decides to explore the last few areas in Sinnoh. What locations can Zeiol visit now, that are not part of the Battle Zone, and can't be walked into directly from a city? [
fullmoonisland route224 sendoffspring springpath turnbackcave]
10) 314. Zeiol sets a course for one of them, remembering an unexplored path from Victory Road. He feels that it would be a good idea to not spend long periods of time chaining on the Battle Zone, and decides to make this the last location he'd do so. What are all the radar-exclusive Pokemon Zeiol could hunt? [
dusclops duskull]
11) 315. Before heading out, he sends out all of his Pokemon League team, and asks them if they'd like a reward for their efforts. All of them discuss, and nominate Smeargle, as it was pivotal to victory in the champion battle, despite every Pokemon playing a part. Smeargle steps forward, and draws a caricature of wanting to become stronger. Zeiol understands, and lets Smeargle have its fill of Rare Candies, consuming seven of them to reach Level 55. It's prompted to learn another Sketch, which Zeiol replaces Swagger with. Since damage is what Smeargle wants to deal and its stats don't match up, Zeiol gets an idea to teach it a move which doesn't inflict damage based on Smeargle's attack or special attack, especially not a move reliant on what the foe does. Answer with all such moves, excluding Dragon Rage and Sonicboom. [
nightshade psywave seismictoss superfang]
12) 316. Zeiol decides to pick Night Shade, and wants to Sketch it from the lowest BST wild Pokemon he can, without exploring any new areas. To that end, he could go to any of these three locations. [
losttower oldchateau route209]
13) 317. A long while later, Night Shade is Sketched and Zeiol flies to the Pokemon League, stocking up on supplies. He spends over half his savings since this is the last chain, and he wants to go big. As he navigates through the new area of Victory Road, in a foggy room he comes across a girl in black and white, introducing herself as Marley. She asks to accompany Zeiol to the end as the fog makes navigation hard, which he agrees to. To reach this point, Zeiol needed to have at least two Pokemon in his party. If Zeiol still had Bebe's Vaporeon with him, answer with all Pokemon fitting this criteria (exclude Smeargle). [
ampharos exploud nidoking sapphire]
14) 318. Thankfully, Zeiol brought Swellow with him and felt that this was a good place to re-teach it Defog, replacing Quick Attack and the room's rendered visible within minutes. The trainers here don't seem to use stronger pokemon per se, but more refined tactics, for example combining Sweet Kiss and Super Fang to deal massive damage over time. One of these trainers even owned a Blissey with Hyper Beam, which caught Zeiol off guard. Jumpluff was able to land a Leech Seed and recovered 42 HP at the end of the turn, quite a staggering amount! For this to be possible, the Blissey could only have some specific values for its maximum HP. Answer with the highest of these values. [
343]
15) 319. As he's adventuring, Zeiol realizes that he isn't able to explore as much of this new area as he'd hoped, due to Marley's presence. With another person tagging along, these HM moves become unusable in the overworld. [
rockclimb surf waterfall]
16) 320. Since the fog is cleared, Zeiol can survey the area from the elevated starting point and chart a route with the least possible trainers on the way. However, some battles were a must. Along the way, he came across one trainer with a name ringing a bell. After the battle, he realized that their name was very similar to the son of Norman, a gym leader in the far away region of Hoenn who he'd seen on TV. What Pokemon did the trainer Zeiol just battled use? [
golbat graveler purugly]
17) 321. Soon after that battle, Marley spots the exit and thanks Zeiol for his pathfinding skills. She mentions that she's here to investigate an odd stone tablet found near the exit of the cave. With that, she heads off as Zeiol follows soon after. The lush vista of Route 224 is a sight for sore eyes as the light hits him. He's glad to be out of Victory Road. However his objective isn't to explore, that's for a later time as his team's still very underlevelled. He checks his Pokedex and notices that both Duskull and Dusclops are available. Choosing to chain the latter, he begins. By now, he's accumulating a lot more experience on chaining and is more intelligently able to choose the grass patches he enters. Within around three days, a shiny Dusclops makes its entry, mesmerizing Zeiol with its red hue and sparkles. He throws a Luxury ball and nicknames it Ruby. With that out of the way, Zeiol flies back to Solaceon for a rest. Now that this is his third ghost type, he thinks of how they'd perform if they battled each other, given the type matchups. Though, he wonders how exactly they’d battle, given that he had no plans to trade either Pokemon away. Excluding STAB and TM moves, this is the strongest move that Ruby could use to KO opposing Shedinja. [
futuresight]
18) 322. After he recovers, he flies over to Snowpoint. Before he talks to the ferry owner, he decides to check out the temple, even though he was denied entry earlier. As he's about to be denied entry by the ace trainer guarding it, a person who he's met before talks to them, saying that Zeiol could be let in, and that the temple would have many rare Pokemon to discover. Who was this person? [
candice]
19) 323. After thanking her and catching up on recent events, Zeiol heads into the temple. As chilly as it was, it gave off an oddly calming atmosphere, and he was sure he'd felt this way before. What was the first location Zeiol had visited that shared its theme with that of Snowpoint Temple? [
eterna forest]
20) 324. The further Zeiol descended, the more temperatures dropped as he could see his breath. "How's this place colder than what's outside?", he wonders. Eventually, he gets to a point where the floor itself has crystallized into solid, sheet ice. While sliding around seems fun, there's nothing to break momentum and he ends up crashing into a few walls before he can navigate to the lower floor. At the bottom, he sees a statue encased in both mold and ice, looking frozen in time. He slides over to it and reads the inscription. If Zeiol had these three Pokemon in his party, then something special would happen when interacting with the statue. [
regice regirock registeel]
21) 325. Nothing Zeiol did to the statue seemed to have any effect, so he headed back up, and with a last look at Snowpoint, boarded the Ship to head to the Battle Zone with a hopeful heart. He saw turbulent waters and stormy weather, which made him realize surfing there was a bad idea, thankful he didn't try that. As he hops off the ship, he sees Tinston waiting for him, who was also given clearance for reaching the League. He mentioned that he was here to toughen up and find a person close to him. Zeiol's glad to hear, and decides to explore more of the area at his own pace. As they're talking, another boy claims that he's the greatest trainer ever, and decides that he's planning to conquer the volcano to prove it. As the boy mentions treasure, Zeiol's geared up, as he knows that must be the Magma Stone. What was this boy's name? [
buck]
22) 326. As he explores the Fight Area, the locals are pleasantly surprised to see Zeiol’s diversity in Pokemon; from Kanto, Johto and Hoenn as most people they see used ones native to Sinnoh. He takes a look around, but feels like he should dash to the volcano before Buck. However, some tough-looking trainers block both paths out of the town. They recommend that he should finish completing his Sinnoh Pokedex - seeing all 151 of them before proceeding forth. Despite Zeiol's Pokemon not being Sinnoh Natives, he wasn't let through. At this point, Zeiol's Sinnoh Pokedex was very nearly complete, as he’d recorded every Pokemon Weavile and before, as seen, so he got an idea as to what had to be done. Of course, he hadn’t forgotten about what he saw at Spear Pillar or Celestic Town. As a result of this, exactly three Pokemon were not registered as seen. What are they?. [
azelf mesprit uxie]
23) 327. As he's still flustered, Houndoom pops out of its Pokeball and shakes its head. Zeiol remembers what it's trying to say - the last time he rushed with that much fervor intensity, both him and his Pokemon suffered. He thought to himself, "The Magma Stone itself wasn't really important even if Buck got it first; after all I've had so much fun adventuring with his team. Does it really matter if I can't get it? Er, speaking of which, what happened with the Radar? I get the feeling that if it's building up the Red Chain from residual energy, then I'd best be careful when battling them, can’t have another world-ending cataclysm, can we?." With this in mind, he finishes cursory exploration of every area in the Battle Zone he can access at this point. He's able to find these berries. [
grepa hondew kelpsy pomeg / grepaberry hondewberry kelpsyberry pomegberry]
24) 328. At this point, Zeiol chooses to fly back to Sandgem. As he walks up to Verity Cavern, with the water level allowing him to Surf the way there, he sees Mesprit waiting for him in the center. As his Pokedex scanned it, it teleported out of the cave with Zeiol being very puzzled. He consulted with Prof. Rowan, who advised him to use this Poketch app to track it down in the wild. [
marking map]
25) 329. Before starting out on the Mesprit chase, Zeiol checks on the Acuity and Valor caverns and estimates that Azelf and Uxie will not flee, as they assume a battle-ready stance. With this in mind, Zeiol chooses three of his Pokemon to face each guardian in a one-on-one battle. The first Pokemon has a STAB super-effective priority move on one of them, chosen for Mesprit, as well as a way to prevent it from escaping. The second can be hit super-effectively by the foe but could inflict a myriad of status effects through only level-up moves, chosen for Uxie, and the last one was not fully evolved and knows 4 moves, chosen against Azelf. If no Pokemon was described twice, in this order, what Pokemon did Zeiol choose? [
ruby sapphire emerald / fun fact: the nicknames yes they were all leading upto this i'm a genius hahahahahahahahaha]
26) 330. With this in mind, Zeiol chooses to battle Uxie first, with Sapphire. It's happy to see its rescuer again, and graciously accepts the battle. The atmosphere grew charged as the battle commenced. Zeiol knew to fear the strength of his opponent, and commanded Hitmonchan to repeatedly use a move, which had a chance of rendering Uxie unable to attack for the rest of the battle. What moves could it have been? [
icepunch thunderpunch]
27) 331. Sapphire could have held one of three items to be immediately cured from a status that Uxie could inflict. What are they? [
chestoberry lumberry persimberry]
28) 332. Ice Punch didn't seem to do very much. As Sapphire was on the verge of fainting to the Future Sight expected next turn, it scores a critical hit, defeating Uxie. It bows its head in defeat, and uses its psychic powers to launch a small red orb at Zeiol's bag. It didn't seem to be an attack of any sort, which puzzled him. With that, Uxie smiled and teleported away. Zeiol was promptly confused, as nothing seemed different. Perhaps this would be resolved after all three of them were battled? With that done, he flies back to Hearthome to swap out his party. En route to Lake Valor, he noticed that a particular location was experiencing heavy rain, which was quite the first because it'd seen clear weather any other time he'd been there. What location is this? [
route 213]
29) 333. With that observation, Zeiol heads to Lake Valor with Emerald now in his party. Valor Cavern has a much sharper atmosphere, as Azelf throws down the gauntlet. While its Confusion did large damage, it chose to go for Future Sight on the next turn. With that, Emerald was able to cleanly 2KO it with Dragon Claw as it accepted defeat, a bit of an annoyed look in its eyes. Like with Uxie, it launched a similar red orb at Zeiol's bag and with a quick hand wave, also teleported away. Even now, Zeiol's intrigued by that battle. It seemed Azelf would've been able to resist the effects of sleep with one of its moves. Had he used a different Pokemon to battle Azelf, that strategy wouldn't work. What are all of Zeiol's Pokemon that could learn or currently know a sleep-inducing (status) move, excluding Smeargle? [
gardevoir jumpluff slowbro stantler]
30) 334. As Zeiol kept track of the Marking Map, he slowly gained an idea on Mesprit's travel patterns, encountering it near Jubilife after many minutes of trial, observation and error. The atmosphere this time was neither charged nor calm, as if a mid-ground between Azelf and Uxie. Sensing it'd teleport away before Ruby had a chance to Mean Look, it used Shadow Sneak to deal around a quarter as Mesprit fled. The second time around was much quicker, as Mesprit didn't heal in between encounters. Since Shadow Sneak didn't deal too much damage, Ruby held an item to increase the damage it dealt by the highest possible amount, with no negative effects. Zeiol hadn’t visited the Battle Tower at all, and wanted this boost to be consistent, as long as it damaged any opponent. Consider only items obtainable at this point in time.What was this item? [
spelltag]
31) 335. The Spell Tag was crucial, as its damage increase turned the expected 4KO into an expected 3KO, and Zeiol was confident he'd be able to defeat Mesprit within no time. Catching it was out of the question, as the Pokeradar was still jamming the signal. A few minutes later, he finds Mesprit for the last time near Hearthome and defeats it with one last Shadow Sneak. How much experience did Ruby get for defeating Mesprit? [
1500]
32) 336. At each of the lakes, because the water level was now higher, Zeiol found TMs for these three moves. [
blizzard fireblast thunder]
33) 337. Before Mesprit teleports away, it beams with a smile, and launches a final red orb at Zeiol's bag. Before teleporting away, it flies close to him and points at the Pokeradar, which seems to look very different. It also waves goodbye as it teleports in a flash. Zeiol's in a daze as to what just happened. He heads to Hearthome's Pokemon Center to look at the Radar. While the radar itself was unchanged, the red blob from earlier was quite different. No longer was it shapeless and small, but now a deep blood-red, resembling a chain more closely now. Despite the Pokeradar’s jamming properties still being retained, it felt as this would be the key to something undiscovered. While Zeiol was concerned, he trusted the guardians' power and knew that the artefact would surely not be used for plans as evil as Cyrus'...right? With that, he headed back to the Fight Area, but the locals advised him to check out the Battle Tower before granting him further access. Zeiol checked his Pokedex and chuckled a bit. In the Sinnoh Pokedex, he'd caught this many Pokemon. [
0 / [lol meme q]]
34) 338. Before heading to the Battle Tower, Zeiol chats with a few more locals who also seem to use exotic, never before seen Pokemon. An old couple in a house here own this Pokemon, which can be seen outside its Pokeball. [
torchic]
35) 339. As he heads into the Battle Park, Zeiol's gifted a Point Card, which tracks his progress there. The receptionists there give him a run-down of how the area works. As he enters, he's taken aback by the grandeur of the castle looming right above him. What was this castle called? [
exchange service corner]
36) 340. After a quick survey, Zeiol heads into the Battle Tower. As he does so, a blond man who’s quite tall bumps into him. Something about him and his demeanor felt almost nostalgic, as he recognized Zeiol from Twinleaf Town, and wished him the best of luck at the Battle Tower. Soon after, Tinston charged up to Zeiol in a similar fashion, and thought he recognized that man. He concluded by declaring intent to prove his worth at the battle tower before Stark Mountain, and also dashed off in hot pursuit. This interaction did puzzle Zeiol. What was the name of the man? [
palmer]
37) 341. Zeiol wanted to explore the Battle Zone before challenging the tower, as he was intimidated by the number of skilled trainers he saw. Still, the locals wouldn't let him proceed without trying it out. He went with Froslass, Paleo and Nidoking. His first opponent...used a Shedinja. Zeiol was infuriated when he saw that Froslass simply fell to a critical Shadow Sneak, leaving his team helpless to fight back, before he had the chance to do anything and simply forfeited. "I hate it here, what kind of a battle was that! Rigged from the start...", he mutters as he heads out. By now, the locals let him pass forth. Zeiol was overjoyed to do so, and set forth onto the unexplored frontier. **Depending on which route he chose to enter, these were his Pokeradar encounters. ** [
mankey primeape togepi. / Fun Fact! The blockades from the Fight Area are dependent on the cutscene with Rowan, when he gives you the national dex, and not on anything else. Therefore, even if you already have the national dex/battle tower, you can't leave the Fight Area to the north or east!]
38) 342. Before he sets forth, Zeiol believes this is the time for Sentret to shine, having levelled up a decent amount. He decides to capture both a Primeape and a Togepi from the nearby areas, without exploring them too much. He decides to fly back to the mainland to train Togepi up, since its Hustle ability seemed novel to use. By the time it evolved into Togekiss, these are the two strongest STAB moves it could know for each of its types. TM moves can be ignored. [
lastresort skyattack]
39) 343. Sentret is trained up a bit more but isn't interested in evolving for the time being. But with this training, Togepi evolves into Togetic. Since the archipelago of Route 230 seemed more appealing than the crags of Route 225, Zeiol chose to head east from the Fight Area. This decision was also because proceeding eastward seemed a quicker route to the volcano. The ripple tide water cascaded by as the sun had fully set, and navigating the seas this late at night was quite the experience. Unfortunately, as soon as he started to have fun with marine battles, land is sighted and Zeiol disembarks, the weather still clear. Here, he sees some Trainers but thought nothing of it as he battled them, despite their Pokeballs emanating a familiar aura. As it turned out, this area had trainers using quite a lot of Pokeradar Pokemon or their evolutions! What Pokemon fit this description? [
dusclops kecleon kirlia mightyena salamence]
40) 344. With the lack of sunlight making exploration risky, Zeiol notices a sign and heads south to rest for the night at the Resort Area. As the new day dawns, he's surprised by the laid back atmosphere he feels around himself, a refreshing contrast to what he's been seeing all this time. "This place could well be where I could retreat to to have a relaxing time; if only it had a villa here. Of course, there's no way anyone would just gift one to me, right?", he wonders. Before wrapping up, quickly heads to the north which isn't navigable due to the Sandstorm, but Nidoking helps provide cover. He wants to head to the next area to grab his final Pokeradar encounter from an area near the volcano, without a sandstorm, and then would head back to the Resort Area for a very long rest. What Pokemon is this? [
