This guy. It's impossible though. How can I use this in game? Each battle would end up taking five minutes if I were to choose it.

>>33191092
yeah.... ;_;

same with a few other trade evos

>>33191122
I was so happy when I found out you can catch wild Steelix in D/P/P, no friend needed to get it.

ive never had anybody ever to trade with so i just get roms that make them evolve by level up instead
gengar, scizor, alakazam, and kingdra are great ingame

>>33191021
This so much.
Couldn't trade with anyone on my original silver and never got around to raising another Scyther for competitive use.

Actually, besides 2nd gen games, how else do you come by Scyther as easily as the bug hunt before the third gym badge?

>mfw first time played Y and got a lvl 15 Scizor on WT after a few while
My biggest highlight in any Pokemon game I've played.

Anyway, I really wanted to use Golisopod, but Araquanid was a thing and had I added it to the team, I would've had three Bug mons.

I say this thing is in my Top 10 favorite Pokemon of all time, but I have yet to use it. I'm thinking of running one in the Battle Subway or Battle Maison sometime, does anybody have some good movesets for Kingdra? Preferably sweeper sets.

I like Golisopod but his low speed and SpD really sucks in competitive. Araquanid is pretty much my go to but Golisopod has a way bettter design.

You have two choices with Golisopod. Life Orb for extra switches, or Assault Vest for extra SpD.

Araquanid is SpD incarnate on the other hand.

Always liked krabby but never really found one/ looked hard enough for one.

>>33191187
>Love cool bug types
>Golisopod is one of my favorite designs in SM
>Catching Wimpod is fucking ridiculous
>Only two places in the game to get it, and if you fuck up the first time(which will happen if you don't know about it beforehand) it disappears in both locations and you have to wait forever for it to respawn, which can be buggy
>By the time I got it to appear again in the second location, I was almost done with the game
>Not really into multiplayer, and the postgame is shit, so I never really got to use it
And just as an extra kick in the dick, after all that work to catch it, I didn't find out until after I evolved it that it had a completely garbage move pool and isn't really worth using in the first place

>>33191091
Why, anon? It starts out with Swords Dance and gets pretty strong moves early, even on third gen. It's always one of my best mons in my playthroughs.

>>33191106

It's like an explosion mon. It takes out tapu koko when both are at full health. I'm surprised it's not used more.

Lopunny, more specific Mega Lopunny. In ORAS, some Pokémon that aren't in Hoenn's Pokédex are only found after you catch Groudon/Kyogre technically before challenging Wallace and Lopunny evolves through High Friendship.

In SM her Mega Stone can only be obtained in a Battle Competition that I missed.

>>33191146
I've used it in Platinum
>>33191217
I've used it in both Sapphire and Alpha Sapphire
>>33191586
I've used it in Silver, Crystal, SoulSilver, and soon in VC Silver

Way too many. I have ASaphire and availability is shit

Every good trade evo.

>>33191124
I use it in Volt White 2 right now.
that thing drops niggas like they nothing.

>>33191092

Even when I did have friends to get a trade evolution (you don't even need friends now with wifi general or some other online community) I always feel guilty using trade evolutions, feeling like I am exploiting the game or getting it too early or something.

I fucking hate them, they are so pointless. They already have version exclusives if they want to encourage trading

>>33196512
It's ok, I've got an extra 3DS to trade with now, I've just never bothered to use one in a playthrough since I got it. Thanks for the offer though.

>>33191194
I'm sorry for your loss.

It apparently works well as a Swift Swim sweeper. I haven't gotten around to trying it out myself though.

>>33191211
Impeccable taste

Kingdra @ Scope Lens
252 SpAtk / 252 Speed
Ability: Sniper
-Focus Energy
-Agility
-Draco Meteor
-Hydro Pump

>Focus Energy + Scope Lens makes every move a guaranteed crit
>Sniper powers up crits
>Crits aren't affeted by stat changes, so Draco Meteor doesn't decay
Not perfect for the battle subway since 3v3 doesn't favor setup, so you could always use choice specs and add coverage moves. Great with Swift Swim and rain, too

>>33191092
I'm a poorfag but where I'm at, liking Pokemon is gay, and there's like one dude I know who plays Pokemon but I rarely talk to him to avoid looking like a total fag than I already am

>>33196179
Scizor literally has the same BST as Scyther though. Its not really cheating.

Poor little buddy. I should get around to raising a competitive one, I like the little beastie a good deal.

Gen V mechanics isn't the same as Gen VI. You'd still get a 33.3% crit.

>>33191021
My favorite team I've ever raised was on Platinum.
>Charizard
>Scizor
>Blastoise
>Torterra

You gotta give Scizor a go dude. That Scizor I raised from that Platinum I might wanna IV max or whatever in SM.

>>33192434
It's only available in Ruby and most people don't want to play a Gen 3 game that isn't Emerald.

>>33198241
>Gen V
Missed that part. You can still run a similar set for Gen V with Swift Swim and Dragon Dance instead of Focus Energy and Agility though you're still probably better off with Choice Specs in 3v3

Kingdra @ Life Orb
252 Atk / 252 Speed
Ability: Swift Swim
-Rain Dance
-Dragon Dance
-Waterfall
-Outrage

It's just too uncommon and has too small a moveset to justify the team spot

>>33193828
Even if you have someone to trade with/another ds it's a huge pain in the ass

>have to run to the union room and sit through like 5 minutes of pain in the ass loading and talking in gen 4
>have to connect online/get one of your friends to turn on a game to do this one thing to get it

It's a hassle that shouldn't even be a thing anymore.

>>33192338
The biggest problem with Krabby's line is the whole "Crabhammer is level 55+" deal.

>>33192253
I still don't understand why the level required for evolution is so absurdly high. It reminds me how as a kid I got a Larivtar in FR/LG and evolved it into Pupitar. I kept leveling the fucking thing thinking that there must be some special way to evolve it into Tyranitar until I hit 55 and my Pupitar decided to evolve.

>>33192338
Go for it. I used Kingler for the first time in Y and it's been one of my favorite water types since

>>33198336
I think it's because they introduced deino later in the game back in gen 5 and they didn't want to retcon the evolution level. Same with a few other unovamons.
