Pokemon Corner

[NPC]

You get the DNA Splicers from a certain building in the post-game town. (kilodue?)

Dont worry about the bands really.


Your biggest needed items for breeding good competitive pokemon are the Destiny Knot, an Everstone, and of course, patience.


If you want to try breeding a comp pokemon, check this video out for pointers.




Then, of course, if you are new to the comp scene, this is a must...




From there, if you get any other questions, feel free to ask me. I have been getting much more into comps, so I can certainly give pointers or opinions.


However, if you decided to try and breed some comps, I would certainly recommend you save this for after you beat the game. I say that mainly not because you could use a beaten game to help (which is preferred technically, but you can breed before the e4 I guess), but I say this because you should first enjoy the game to the fullest. Playing competitively is not for everyone, but can certainly breath new life into an already beaten game, giving you more fun things to do once the game is over.

Is it possible to raise a competitive Magikarp?  Seriously, I'd love to try if it's possible.  It'd be absolutely hilarious to do it

I suppose with the right breeding; it learns Tackle and Flail, so you could, in theory...

 

[Mon Dez]

Its possible for a competitive Magickarp. The one thing to actually fear on the competitive side is actually a competitive stat Caterpie and they are nightmarish to face.

 

[hyde9318]

Comp magikarp doesnt really need training at all. In fact, I would only really say a decent health stat would be needed, and then not even much. Look up competitive pokemon FEAR tactics.

If you could get a Magikarp with Bounce....

Why does that make so much sense?

Better than Ponyta learning bounce, at least.

 

[Tai_MT]

Magikarp can learn Bounce, but only from B2/W2 Move Tutor as well as a Move Tutor in Platinum, Heart Gold, and Soul Silver.

I was just imagining how awesome it would be if you could breed it onto subsequent Magikarps for epicness.

I once hacked what I called "Godkarp" for my significant other. She plays pokemon with me pretty often, so I made her a custom magikarp as a joke. It had uber high speed, Wonder Guard ability, hacked attacks (Thunderbolt, Hydro Pump, Flamethrower, and Dark void), was shiny, and an everstone (cause for some reason, the way I hacked it, it lost its hacked speed stat when it evolved). What does she do with it after getting it? Used it in a battle against me without telling me she was going to use it... lol.

 

[Tai_MT]

That's funny that you didn't expect that to happen, ha ha.  I could've told you what she would've done with it right away!  Ha ha.

This!  Is!  Pokémon!

 

[Eschaton]

Tell me why I should get back into Pokémon.  Sell me, please.

 

[hyde9318]

If I were to sell you, how much should I price you? I could really use money for a house payment right now.

 

[Eschaton]

"Sell" is an euphemism for "convince." 

 

[AngelGrace]

"Sell" is an euphemism for "convince." 

Don't explain the joke

 

[Seacliff]

Tell me why I should get back into Pokémon.  Sell me, please.

When you are bored, it'll come back to you. No effort required.

 

[Mon Dez]

Oh god a Meloetta with Close Combat is really scary especially when she one shot your Pokemon with a sadistic smile.

 

[hyde9318]

"Sell" is an euphemism for "convince."

"hyde9318" is an euphemism for "smart-ass".


I was just playing around.


Honestly, and I say this sincerely, if we have to 'sell' pokemon to you, you probably aren't going to go back to it anytime soon. You either like pokemon or you don't, it is a pretty split crowd. And nine times out of ten, what drives you away from pokemon right now is probably not going to change anytime soon. And dealing with the complaints you have said here in the past, I doubt this will ever again be the franchise for you. That pains me to say cause I myself love seeing this franchise bring people together, but I can't be naive and pretend like it is something that everyone on the planet will enjoy.

I know, right? Too bad my Meloetta is hacked and can't be transferred

 

[hyde9318]

I am going to have to see about getting some rare pokemon and then doing a pokemon corner giveaway. Anyone possibly up for that?
