Pokemon!

[Senna-Umbreon]

Least used type? I'd say Ghost. I mean, it has the least amount of Pokemon of its type, and not a lot of people are really fond of it, it seems to me. Though I'm somewhat different from that croud; I adore Ghost Pokemon! <3

[Sonata]

That's kinda true actualy, nobody uses ghost types much...I mean I know Darkrai is a Dark/ghost (was it?) and he's kinda tactical, maybe people don't use ghost pokemon much because you need to think a little?
...Thou I loved using Gengar back in the Stadium games!

[Senna-Umbreon]

Nope, Darkrai's a pure Dark type. But I do agree with no one really using Ghost Pokemon that much. Which is one of the reasons I adore them! They're so misunderstood and misjudged. But they're all so awesome! Heck, some of them are freakin' adorable! Like Shuppet and Haunter! XD

Regigigas is not an Uber actually....he's considered Borderline (too weak for Standard...too strong for UU) because of his ability: Slow Start (he fights at half his Attack and Speed stats for 1st 5 turns)

Also not all Legendaries are Uber...Regigigas bein an example. Registeel is also non-Uber (he's UU but he has potential to be stronger then that), Celebi is OU (Standard) due to her typing being weak to half the pokemon types in the games, Heatran is pretty much bordering standard and Uber (he's in the top 5 Standard pokemon list...fighting over #2 with Gyarados and Salamence....this is due to Heatran's stats and his typing of Fire/Steel and his move pool....even his 4x weakness to ground isn't a problem), Cresselia is standard tier (its stats focus majorly on defending but it lacks a reliable recovery move....it has Moonlight but it is crippled by Sandstorms, which are common, and Rest which has the "2 turns of sleep" effect....its offensive stats are pretty low too...Thunder wave and Calm Mind can help it tho), Land form Shaymin is weaker then celebi. Thats all of em that I no of.

There are some non-legendaries that are considered Ubers (Wobbuffett, due to Ability and stats, Shedinja, while actually a UU, is at its best in Uber battles as Stealth Rock/Spikes/Toxic Spikes are rare and Sandstorms/Hail usually get removed by Groudon/Kyogre).

As for your Shedinja problem....try giving him a Focus Sash...it lets him survive an attack with one hp (only once....it still works on Shedinja despite him always having 1 hp) To you ghost lovers out there....this guy is a ghost too. His ability Wonder Guard is unique to this lil bug. It can NOT be skill swapped but it CAN be Traced. I stated what shedinja can be hit by before but I forgot to mention Weather damage.

[Makoes]

whats "UU" "OU"?

Magnakilro, where can you find a list of the pokemons "ranking"?

Forgot about focus sash, might have to aquire one and give that a shot. Although, given how many things it's weak against, I am not sure if its actaully a smart move to use one...let alone decide on a stratagy to use with it.
Senna, yeah, ghosts are pretty cool looking, Mismagus is downright purdy!
Ghost type due require a bit more in the way of stratagy, just with the moves that are available to them, as well as thier abilities.

One of my favourite pokemon to use in B.rev is actually Rayquaza, he just looks so darn cool, especially the shiny version of him! I am actually surprised that most of the Dragon pokemon in the game have a "western" type shape to them rather then the "Asian" type. (ie, stocky bodies, wings, stubby legs, as opposed to the serpantine shape)

http://serebii.net/games/tiers.shtml this link has a list of Ubers.

http://serebii.net/potw-dp/ this link takes you to a list of pokemon....click thier pictures to get Competetive battling strategies. Most of them have thier tier listed.

OU means Overused, aka Standard Tier. These are the pokemon like Skarmory, Gyarados, Blissey, Scizor, Yanmega, etc. As the tier name suggests....u'll be seeing these guys a lot.

UU mean Underused, pokemon that are too weak to be standard or thier ability prevents it (Slaking).

NU means Never used. While misleading (some ppl actually use em) these pokemon are not reccommended for competitive battling (Unown is an example)

BL means Borderline. Borderline tier has pokemon too weak for OU or thier ability sucks, but too strong for UU (Regigigas, Magmortar)

Uber means Uber Tier. This tier is for Pokemon that are too powerful to be standard....most of these are legendaries (the Hoenn Weather Trio: Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Mewtwo, Mew, the Sinnoh Dragon Trio: Palkia, Dialga, Giratina, etc) as stated in a previous post, not all Ubers are legendary (like Wobbuffet) and not all legendaries are ubers (Shaymin, Moltres, Regigigas, Registeel)

Now some Pokemon (like Shedinja) do far better in a different tier then the one they're in. (From what Serebii.net says, Shedinja's amazing in Uber tier....being immune to whole move sets at times.)

hope this helps ya somewhat

btw you may see this term too: NFE: this means Not Fully Evolved. These Pokemon are not at thier final form yet. Pikachu is an example.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Bah, tiers! I hate competetive battling! Cause unless you want to suck epically, you can't use the team you want! Like my upcoming Platinum team.. Volbeat, Illumise, Flygon, Gorebyss, Armaldo and Mawile (YAY HOENN POKEMON <3) ... Yeah, they'd never work in something like that! I hate how that sorta battling restricts what Pokemon you can use! Ugh, it's so much like raiding in WoW sometimes.. If you want to be "good", you HAVE to be a certain spec and if you aren't, you suck. UGH I'M SO TIRED OF ALL THE ELITIST JERKS IN THESE GAMES!!!!

.. Anywho, ranting aside.... Not much else to say really. Just needed to vent out my feeling about competetive battling and such. Now.. OFF I GO BWAHAHAHA *Sneaks away*

[Vephriel]

I caught both Entei and Raikou yesterday after 3 days of trying. Was so relieved to finally get them both. \o/ They were a pain in the ass, but so worth it. ^^

[Aleu]

Urg, I keep using Mean Look from my Umbreon to keep them from running, then I use my Dragonair to battle them, but... they just refuse to stay caught.

[Vephriel]

The strategy that ended up working for me was battling them both until they only had a sliver of health remaining, and then saving the game. I was lucky and ended up with Raikou being frozen from the last attack I used against him, and saving it put him in that status permanently.

Anyways, after that I chose a spot to walk back and forth between, since every time you move from one area to another Entei/Raikou move around the map. My location was going between Mahogany town and the Route that was just west of it. Eventually one of the dogs would appear beside me and then I'd try capturing it. I used Mean Look from my Gastly and then just threw pokeballs at them until they ran away. If they fled I'd restart the game, that way I wasn't wasting pokeballs. Eventually I just got lucky.

[Sphax]

I just got Soul Silver this week . started with my favourite starter of all generation Cyndaquil !!! ofcourse little further i caught me a vulpix and an abra

cynda is typhlosion by now and abra kadabra xD




also got my lugia in a masterball. i know i was lazy to use ultra balls xD


got doggies to red life so each time i see them i just throw a ball almost had raiku !!!





i just cant find any firestones to evolve my vulpix which is lvl 41 by now xD still some to go for extrasensory and fire blast

[Magnakilro]

If its still there, there's a guy in the Kanto region that gives u free stones if u show him certain pokemon.....like Pichu for a Thunderstone or Oddish for Leafstone......idk the rest or if it still exists.....lol

TOTODILE 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!!! (Cynda is ok too....Chika is....meh)

Edit: here's a strat for you ppl hunting the Legendary Beasts (except Suicune since HG SS follow the Suicune Storyline from Crystal with some differences) Catch a Smeargle in Ruins of Alph grass patch (if they're still there). Lvl it and give it carbos's till it outspeeds Raikou (the faster of the 2 beasts). Make sure it knows 2 Sketches. Let it Sketch Baton Pass (the Evee you get from Bill can learn it) and either Mean Look (Gastly/Haunter/Gengar or Zubat/Golbat/Crobat) or Spider Web (Spinarak/Ariados).....optionally u can try to get 2 more Sketches....one for a sleep inducing move (Sing,Spore,Hypnosis,Grasswhistle,etc) and another for False Swipe (Scyther learns this at lvl 16...earlier then any other 'mon)....allowing your cute lil adaptable dog thing to be one helluva trapper/capture aid. The only thing that may screw you up is if the Beasts use Roar which prematurely ends battle if its a wild Pokemon.

[Makoes]

Gratz Veph!!
They are still eluding me, though I am slowly wearing them down! ...how does a sleeping pokemon flee????
Thx for the clearification Magnakilro and the links!

I know Senna, the length that some people go to just to win, I prefer to use pokemon I like!

but even if some people are using ev trained, ubers/OU's, you can still beat them with a good stratagy/moveset/type-matchup.
my wi-fi main-team are: Torterra, flygon, feraligatr, skarmory, ampheros, and houndoom. and each of them knows atleast 3 diiferent TYPES of attacks to make them more adaptable to situations. and none are ev trained.

Sphax, doesnt the dept. store in kento sell stones? squeeee!!!!!!! cyndaquil!!!! I love that fire starter and its evolutions!

Magnakilro, where is that guy located? (or where WAS he located?) I need a leafstone in my jap.SS game! Started with totodile for my NA.SS game

chikarita...hmmm, cant say I've been fond of most of the grass starters...Treeko and turtwig are about the only ones who's final forms I actually really like.

[Magnakilro]

That guy is where Bill was located back in RBY FRLG (the routes north of Cerulean City....in the house near where you find Misty before your Gym battle with her)

[Vephriel]

Oh man....I beat the Blackthorn Gym and got myself an Extreme Speed Dratini.

And just now I managed to defeat the Kimono Girls. On my way to catch Lugia.

EDIT: And Lugia is mine! Woo! ^_^

[Sonata]

How come everybody is faster than me....I need to stop beating around the bush and training stronger pokemon.

[kairii]

i got SS the other day i just defeated the grass las (im bad with names )
anyways cas ss and hg go wi-fi? like pearl and the rest cas when i get my water team together who wants to fight meh >:3

and p.s amg the pokerwalker saves me so much time plus i didnt know i walked so much in one day o.O

[Magnakilro]

*wishes he had a DS (or two) so he could play all those 4th gen games*

[Bulletdance]

Does anyone know what you get if you complete the pokedex? I'm close,but don't want to waste room in my boxes if its not worth it.

[Magnakilro]

not sure in HG/SS I know that in Emerald if you fill the Hoenn Pokedex (except Jirachi and Deoxys) you get to play with a Johto starter. Other then that idk
