Edgie, how did you get an Empoleon in a luxury ball?

[Edgie]

I asked for a modest empoleon for trade, on gamefaqs, thats what i got lv1 modest empoleon

[Priran]

Hopefully you meant "Lv.1 Piplup", because otherwise, it's even more blatently obvious how hacked your pokemon are.

[Edgie]

Im not even goin to get into this, you went vs 2 pokes that you had type weakness against, and got hit hard, and yes I did mean piplup. Been a long day.

[Priran]

Your Empoleon wasn't type-advantaged against my Tangrowth, it had Ice Beam.

I left Electivire in because it and Garchomp have nearly identical speed, and I had an attack 4x effective against it.

Any place really good to level up around 30? Barely beat the 6th gym because of an unlucky shot by that 39. Am I supposed to be around 7 lvls lower than the gym leader?

Taking a look at your 6 in the sig, it looks like you ended up with a lot of early evolutions- you jumped them up forms ASAP.

That helps base stats, but shortchanges some Pokemon early on for moves. Geodude picks up it's last move (Stone Edge, and it's a good one) at 39. Golem doesn't pull it off till 49 (and if you're below 33, he doesn't even have Earthquake yet, a staple). Alakazam evos don't have that problem, but Gengar does lag a bit if you don't train him up when he's a Gastly- you may be missing a few attacks as a result there, too.

Poor Ponyta's just going to get maimed- it's really not properly workable till the 40+ range, since it won't evolve to Rapidash any earlier. D/P lacks in good Fire types till much later in the game- you may want to consider boxing Ponyta for something else that's able to keep up, even if you want a FIre type on the team.

As for Noctowl- teach it Hyper Beam. It's based off of Special Attack, gets a STAB bonus from Noctowl's Normal typing, and might give you a little extra punch where it's weaker Attack-based moves won't, since a lot of Noctowl's normally learned moves are self-damaging (Hello, Take Down) and/or use it's weaker stat. Pick up the TM at the big multi-level department store.

Edit note: What's the Torterra got? Early evolution may have given him a few problems, but you can also use the Heart Scale tutor eventually to pick up Wood Hammer.

Ponyta actually isn't doing that bad I'm kind of surprised. It helped me out in a couple situations where no one else on my team could kill some pokemon that looked like it was only week to fire types. I'll also go teach Noctowl hyper beam. Want to get a pidgey and evolve it when I get the chance when I see one. I don't think that will be for awhile so I'll have to keep Noctowl for some time.

Does anybody happen to have the Pokerus? I'm beginning to get heavily into breeding (got all the good natures + at least 2 31 IV Dittos), and I wanted to know if anybody could trade me a poke w/ it. I'll look around for something good in return (I have Gen 1,3, and 4 starters etc.)

Thanks in advance, just pm or something

This is what I was worried about when I started breeding and stuff... I saw too many people cheating to get their pokemon and it turned me off to the whole endeavor of breeding/raising because no matter what I do there will be someone who hacks perfect pokemon.

Shame to see it started this early lol...

Luxury Ball Starter = obviously sharked lol

[Edgie]

Its a regular poke, just weird ball, I had to ev train it and everything. I hate cheap tactics, explosion/protect, I wouldnt get 999 stats, IV, EV.
Fine its in a hacked pokeball, I got it from a trade, but he doesnt have anything that makes him otherwise special.

Hey guys I just got a team does anyone want to battle? My FC is 4682 5072 7029. Also it's my first time so I just wanna know they get leveled to 100 automatically right? >.> I heard they were so I didn't bother to level them. Also is there an item clause or something cause I gave them all different stuff.

Free battle = fight with the pokemon's current level
Lv50. Battle = The monsters are set to lv50.
Lv100. Battle = " "100.

etc Pretty much like lvl caps on ffxi also added FC
