Guys, I'm confused.
Back when I played Red and LeafGreen verisons, the legendaries were hard AF to catch. These versions made me get the mon to very low health and with any status like paralysis or sleep to try to even catch it. Even then, I wasted at least 50 ultra balls before I even caught it.
However, in the 3DS version of Yellow, I caught Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres and even Mewtwo without much effort.
It took at max 3 ultra balls after paralysis or sleep to catch any of them. Even with MAX health.
Did they change the catch rates to those of X&Y? Or was I just very very very lucky?
You were very lucky. I've had plenty of "you missed the pokemon!" messages.
To confirm the catch rates are still bullshit go the the safari zone.
>>25778856
Even there, I caught a Kangaskhan just by throwing ONE safari ball, nothing else.
I haven't tried on Chansey though.
>>25778848
Learn the gen I mechanics, HP decrease doesn't matter all that much when catching pokémon with low catch rates, however status like Sleep and Frozen are completely broken.
When will the meme of Gen V having bad Pokemon designs die? It literally has no more bad designs than any other gen, if not fewer. I'm not even a Unovabortion, it's one of my least favorite gens for other reasons, but the designs are great. Name all your favorite mons and at least one is from Unova, I bet you.
Klink line and Emboar are the only bad ones
Wow three of my favourite Pokemon are from gen V. Though i am starting to question whether i actually like Scrafty.
>>25778650
the only designs that i absolutely hate are the ice cream ones
most of the other ones, even if the pokemon is useless, have some thought behind the design
ITT we name an item and a pokemon
The next poster has to create a strategy using these.

Use fling to get rid of assult vest then use bulk up. Proceed to close combat.

What if Sun and Moon are NOT placed in the Megaevolution Universe?
That's a possibility with alternate timelines being confirmed. I definitely do see Megas not being apart of the game in the future due the negative response it has gotten. What will happen to the mega forms you ask? Simple anons; they'll be branched evolutions/alternate evolutions.
>>25777901
>negative response
Megas are incredibly popular outside /vp/ you worthless namefag. Megas aren't going anywhere.
They would invent a new gimmick to merchandise the same 5 pokemon again as "new."

What's with Japan and the butt attack? Why do so many things do it?
>>25777524
Why assk us about this? I imagine I should probably try and take a crack at it, butt I don't feel like it.
So I'll just cheek on out.
Does Pokémon even have any butt-based attacks?
Tail Whip doesn't count.

Google results are all shit.
I want to start Shiny Hunting in ORAS.
Which guide should I use?
can u shiny hunt in oras
Chain Fishing or Chain Radar requires fuck all and you can do really early on.
Google those specifically, they're a long tedious process that I cba explaining.
>>25776979
Its odds are 1 in 201. So it's a waste to shiny everywhere else.

Is it just me, or is it stupid retarded to get evo stones in this game?
I've got 4 badges, just surfed to sea mauville. Do I now have to wait for a rematch with twins, or is there anywhere to buy dawn stone or any other stones?
>>25776162
You can get every Evolutionary Stone through Super Training, it can be a bit frustrating but it's the easiest way to get them.
>>25776162
You can get unlimited evolution stones by playing the higher levels of Super Training. You won't always win one, but they're not that uncommon.
You can also get them from beating the Inverse Battle guy at Mauville, but the prize depends on your number of super effective attacks, and which stone you get is up to chance.
>>25776201
And to unlock the final super training levels? Do I have to beat target time on each stage?
Someone please help me with a team building question. So I'm making my first competitive team and I'd like to know A. what you think and B. What remaining two pokes I should use.
So far I have:
Dragonite (tank)
Mega Blaziken (phys sweeper)
Espeon (sp sweeper)
Skarmory (defensive wall)
Any Ideas or suggestions?
I don't know how seriously the Tiers are taken and frankly I'm new to taking pokemon seriously, like competitive battling and such.
From what I've read on team building (and correct me if Im wrong)
I need a Sp sweeper/ phys sweeper/ phys wall/ sp wall/ tank and then a battlefield setup like a Gliscor with spikes or something.
I don't really know and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
>Espeon
>sp sweeper
>>25776050
Kek, you are going to get your shit wrecked in ubers.
Learn to fucking play the game first faggot, then you can start building a team. You didn't even posted the movesets, are you for fucking real?
Just looking at your autistic ass is giving me a fucking mental breakdown.
Welcome to the competitive pokemon community, enjoy your stay.
>>25776234
Thanks man!
the Unown should get a second ability that makes them more powerful depending on how many are on your team. Every letter should have a different ability that affects all other Unowns.
For example, A would boost all special attack for your unowns, L would give them all ground immunity, S gives them all sturdy, B adds a burn chance to Hidden Power, etc.
Essentially you're running a Sliver deck from Magic the Gathering in Pokémon
That would be broke as fuck, desu senpai. I can see it being abused, with 26 of them, there's bound to be a couple of ridiculously good abilities.
Super cool, though.
Could be cool but it wouldn't be usable in any official 1 on 1s because of species clause.
