>>31778386
I'm pretty sure the only main series game where you can get any of the Larvitar family without trading before the Elite Four is Pokemon Y. Don't quote me on that, though.

you can get it in the Safari Zone in HGSS

Did anyone really stick with battery bug until they reached Poni? Is it good enough to stick around with you that long?

>>31780117
I kept it around until Poni, and it did OK, but it did start noticeably falling off around that point.

It seems to be alright if you don't just be casual and instead EV train it properly, but yeah, it's pretty shit for a lot of the game if you don't.

99% of shit in Gen V.

Oh you want Pawniard? Durant? Either of the cool ass birds? Hydra? Mienshao? Too bad for you they're all on the final route and don't evolve until 50+. Worst pacing since Gen II.

>>31780339
So bad that they decided to ditch the 'completely original Pokedex' thing in B2W2.

>>31778158
Fuck, ive been grinding sos battels for a shiny admant one, got 2 shinys with shit natures. Q

>>31780117
I transferred it to Moon as soon as it evolved and traded it back as a Vikavolt, this was before the wishiwashi totem fight

>>31780931
Just bring a mon with synchronize lol

>>31778405
You can get this one pretty early on though.

>>31781103
not in BW and it evolves at level fucking 54

>>31778405
Should've been Fighting/Flying.

>>31778273

Or too early, and then don't evolve for the entire game.

Also almost all the Ice types are obnoxiously late.

>>31781114
in BW2 you get an evolved one at lvl 25 :P

>>31778286
Love that guy, I have a thing for ships and shit so biased but whatever.

>>31781069
Already have. Problem is this was pre bank, and due to beldums habbit of killing itself leaving out a mon without healpulse Is dangerous. Its been like 15 hours worth of grinding, i wanna build my team.

>>31778170
>great
>in the main game
Defenses are obviously okay, but has barely any attacking capabilities.

t. bred brave bird skarmory and it jobbed so hard

>>31781934
80 attack with decent offensive typing is fine for in-game

>>31779291
>spend an hour at most fishing for feebas
I wish it was that simple back then

>>31779191
>the early route bug type of the region fully evolves at the practically penultimate route
why

I mean, I guess it's better than quickly getting Butterfree/Beedrill and abandoning them just as quickly afterward, but still

>>31778178
i think you can get a larvitar in the safari zone in hgss

>>31784601
Butterfree and Beedrill are both better than ShitCuckVolt.

>>31780117
That thing was amazing with eviolite. The bulk on it was unreal for ingame and I actually regret evolving it into Vikavolt.

>>31778587
Nope. I caught a pupitar outside of the daycare center in Crystal once, and also ran into them a few times there.

>>31784601
No,it's worse.Butterfree/Beedrill-like bug types at least can prove their worth in the first 3 gyms.Vikavolt can't even be a good in-game choice.

>>31778187
a piece of shit

It felt really special when Steven just leaves you one in the table. Now you can just get anything you want online.

Worth it. Ghidorah best kaiju, Hydreigon second best kaijumon.

Victory road. I know it;s great and doesn't evolve but i would have loved to use him for more than the elite four+Gehtis in black/white.

I'm the only one who likes to catch all the pokèmon in my team in the early parts of the game? In Moon the latest I catched was Beldum at 28. So many pokèmon in this thread kinda make me upset because they will never be a part of my adventure

>>31778193
I never wanted a Mienshao because I already had my bro Scrafty.

>>31787073
yeah, i like the sense of surprise/awe you get from finding a brand new pokemon when you think you know the game inside out, but it also means that pokemon isn't for you.

This and Heatmor.

>>31787073
A lot of people do. I have no idea why it took until BW2 for them to start offering unusual Pokemon on the early routes instead of the standard bugs/birds/rodents.

>>31787073
I usually have 3 pokemon by the first gym, 5 by the third and the final member by the fourth.

I'll trade over eggs to get whatever I want early.
For SM I just injected the entire team early.

Problem with that is that you would need way more sun/moon stones to evolve desu.

Ice types are obnoxiously late in every game.

In fact, besides trading for a Jynx in Kanto, the only time you can get an Ice type at all in a Pokemon game before the fifth badge that comes to mind is in Unova, in Cold Storage.

>>31778158
Pseudo-Legendaries are meant to be something you either only use post-game, or get so late on that you have to spend hours and hours training them up to evolve. Every single one has been like that.

>>31780117
it was better before it evolved. I didnt know vikavolt was a special atacker so i trained it in attack given its good pool of physical attack

Porygon in Pokemon Red/Blue. If you don't use glitches you will pretty much never have it in a normal playthrough.

>Since I marathoned 90% of the game at night I had 2 unevolved pokemon all the way until endgame

>>31787073
You're not the only one. ORAS and Sun were the first games wherein I caught team members in the 2nd half of the game (Vileplume and Komala respectively). The former was a fucking godsend for endgame and legendary catching. The latter was a letdown

>>31784611
Yeah you do, got one on my last SS nuzlocke run. Was so fucking happy, fucker wrecked face the throughout the entire run

>>31778189
You can catch phanpy at level 4 at the start of crystal??

noob?

>>31778163
underage get out

>>31806544
And how is that relevant to the games that are, you know, not Crystal?

>>31806477
Komala is definitely a Pokemon that comes along too late.

>>31810170
Doesn't help when mine was modest and my entire team was physical. By that point I had Mudsdale, Muk, and Decidueye wrecking shop

>>31787073
Definitely not, but I tend to have teams built out of mid-game Pokemon. I only catch what I absolutely need early game in order to progress

Once about at least 50% of the Pokedex is available I gather the remainders and train them up to match my starter or other early gamers (usually Dunsparce or Ralts)

It sucks when you encounter a late game Pokemon that looks really dope but have no room on your team for it

>>31804782
Confirmed for not playing Blue, it's half-priced there

>>31779291
dude, do you remember all the retarded 'theories' out there about how to catch feebas that involved fishing in a particular pattern and flying, etc? It took me AT LEAST 5 hours.

>>31810391
i don't really understand why the prices in red and blue are so different from each other. i'd get it if it all added up the same, but it feels like blue has the better deal.

>>31778402
it should have been in that """secret""" cavern with the creepy music

>>31798164

There's a few in Kalos as well - Amaura is the earliest one. Delibird in Alola is really early too, but it's the only one that's that early and it's shit anyway.
