THIS GOD DAMN DIRTY PIECE OF NIGGER
I get all the way through the Elite Four on the first try with no issues whatsoever, plow through all of the champion's pokemon until the very last one and suddenly every one of its moves one shots every type of pokemon ever or some shit?
FUCK THIS SPECIFIC LUCARIO
I'm never playing Pokemon Diamond again
>Complaining about difficulty in Pokemon
Anon, what the fuck?
>>380718704
It's not the difficulty itself, it's the shitty exponential difficulty curve. I will illustrate
>>380719018
garchomp is the only pokemon that puts an end to me, in platinum atleast
>>380719018
This would be fine though, and also not completely stupid
>Complaining about difficulty in Diamond/Pearl
>not Platinum Garchomp
>playing DP
>having trouble with DP
>not packing any Fire or Ground coverage for Steel types
>>380718591
>using legendaries in the main story
>not getting based hippopotas
>>380718591
>Uses legendaries
>Complains about difficult in a pokemon game
Neck yourself already.
>>380719297
>fire types exists in DP?
>>380719282
I never had an issue with garchomp. It's always been roserade (or togekiss in Pt.)
>>380719557
>needing a Fire type to use Fire moves
Also
>using a legendary
>one that clearly hasn't even been used much since you caught it as it's still its met level
>>380718591
Fuck off DSP
>>380718591
>Struggling in Pokemon
>Using a legendary in your team
>Posting in /v/ instead of /vp/
comon now anon
debuffs and status effects are extremely crippling in pokémon, use them.
>lose fight
>invest all your money in revival herbs
>level your EmpoleonYou'd better have chosen Empoleon, faggot.on the rest of the elite 4
>come back with a 20 level advantage
>wipe him
Congrats, you've been unfucked.
>using the trash legendary lake faeries
>>380718591
This thing has:
>Earthquake (physical, ground)
>Aura Sphere (special, fighting)
>Psychic (special, psychic)
>Dragon Pulse (special, dragon)
Just use Gliscor, it's immune to Eartquake, resists Aura Sphere and it' neutral to the other two, having enough bulk. It also has nice attack to OHKO Lucario with Earthquake.
u try using infernape retard?
>>380718591
Post your team OP, so we can give you suggestions and eventually make fun of you.

>Grinding to beat a Pokémon game
come on now.
>>380719282
>gyarados with avalanche
>1 shot garchomp
>>380720202
It takes 10 minutes, you can even do it on accident by not rotating all your mons enough and just having a good coverage moveset on your carrymon, anyway.
>>380718591
>Not platinum
>Not playing hack editions who fix all the bullshit gamefreaks put in their games so you buy the two editions
>Not playing in an emulator with turbo mode to train
>Using legendaries
You deserve everything bad that happens to you.
>having trouble in any pokemon gameUse only your favourite pokemon and box all you others, see how far you get. Do this a couple of times for a couple of levels then unbox the rest of your team.
>>380718591
You just suck!
Why is Lucario half steel-type?
>>380720374
Why isn't Goodra 100% Fe.male
>>380720764
lucario's part donut steel
>>380718591
Why in the holy fuck would you ever play Diamond or Pearl instead of Emerald?
>>380721431
Er, I mean Platinum, not Emerald (although Emerald is also better than DP).
>>380718591
Just get a ghost type to use curse on him then wait 4 turns. It's literally that easy.
>>380719820
>legendary
eh it's just azelf, it's good sure but not op
just because something is "legendary" doesn't mean it's automatically good, look at articuno and regice
>>380719282
He's right, DP was harder. They reduced the levels of all of Cynthia's Pokemon in PT.
>>380721774
Except Azelf actually isn't complete dogshit like Articuno and Regice. It has great speed, attack, and special attack. More than enough to shit all over anything ingame.

Begone, Slug-fucker

10/10
>that one kid whose team consisted of his starter at level 80, 4 legies, and some Mon at level 100 that he traded with his older brother
>"I dare you to challenge me, Anon. I'm a Pokemon master!
>>380718591
i really fucked myself on my last plat run beacuse all mons that i had using ice attacks were weak to ground so, garchomp stomp my ass.
got myself a gliscor on the elite 4 re-matches to he would no longer be a problem.
>>380720128
This. Infernape can destroy everything in DP and Pt. It's probably the best starter in 4th gen and the second best starter in the entire series.
>>380721723
>implying it will survive garchomps outrage.
>>380721953
oh it's good sure, but there's other non legendaries that can match up to it
it's not like he's using say, dialga
