Official R/S/E Recent Happenings Thread - Fresh Edition

[Eagledawn]

I restarted a week or two ago because...I felt like it. I just recently kicked Norman straight out of Petalburg. So for now I'm at the Weather Institute.

[DFK]

I finished my Vaporeon breeding, leaving me a little unsure what to breed next. I'm leaning towards Flareon, but as for now I think I'm a bit burned out on breeding (no pun intended). In the meantime, I went and EV trained my Starmie so that she would be ready for the Frontier.

Sadly, I'm a little put-off by Starmie's performance so far. With 252 EVs and a 31 IV in Special Attack, it takes two super-effective non-STAB (or vice versa) hits to KO things. I'm starting to think a bit more HP or Recover might be more handy, but I doubt either will really help without hurting her performance. Considering Gardevior and Gengar tend to have similar (albeit much less common) problems, I'll use Starmie a bit more before my final judgement.

Sceptile, Vigoroth, Machamp, Flygon, Ninetales, Walrein
Subs: Kirlia(Boxed after Brawly), Graveler & Nosepass(Boxed after Winona), and Dusclops(Boxed after Liza & Tate)

I beat Roxanne using my Treeko, which subsequently evolved. After I beat Brenden, I headed for Dewford. May stay was a short one, as I quickly delivered the Letter, caught a female Geodude, and I was off to Slateport. After doing a couple Battle Tent Challenges, I'm currently training my Pokemon. My team:

GROVYLE Raptor (Hardy) Lv. 16
SLAKOTH ......... (Quirky) Lv. 16
RALTS Valor (Jolly) Lv. 16

[Knight_Ram]

I cloned a bunch of Rare Candies and gave them to some Pokémon I may breed in D/P for Platinum. Such as a new Zangoose, Gengar and a Marowak.

Ruby: SRing for shiny Regice in this file. I've been focused on it, as well as Whismur in Sapphire. I hope that when it appears, I'll catch it in an Ultra Ball instead of the Master Ball.

Sapphire: Been levelling up my shiny Swampert on Whismur, in hopes of a shiny one popping up. It has reached Lvl 71, so I obviously didn't get shiny Whismur before Lvl 70. My new goal is to get one under Lvl 80, before I continue with the game and nab the final 3 badges. Past 62000 encounters for a shiny one.

Emerald: Did a bit of double hunting for shiny Whimsur in this one as well, no shinies yet. Caught a couple Pokemon I needed and transferred them to Pearl. I'm soon going to level my shiny Charmander(that I got last year) once I figure out what moves/EV's I'll teach her.

[pikasaur]

caught a wingull to beat rivals grovyle with, but managed to defeat it with a sableye. made it to mauville and wiped out wattson with marshtomp. defeated the winstrates and the camera crew too.ralts evolved. im now lvl'ing up my new torkoal in route 113 while collecting ash

torkoal took 2 great balls and 8 pokeballs to capture, almost ran out but he stayed in my last pokeball i had

team
marshtomp lvl 24
sableye lvl 24
kirlia lvl 24
torkoal lvl 18

im also thinking of transfering my main emerald team to pearl and restarting emerald

[ground tamer]

I cloned some vitamins for my Beldum the other day. Cloning gets pretty repetative after only a few of them. I then proceeded to properly ev train my adamant beldum for the Battle Frontier.

My BF team is starting to take shape, with properly ev trained Lanturn at 45 and my properly ev trained Beldum at 17. I plan on using both a Modest Salamence and a Jolly Gligar for my third spot on my team. I am going to need an Icebeamer though...

[-Lympics]

Ruby: I decided to restart my game but i will tranfers strong pokemon to there.

Emerald: EVs and IVs Training on my pokemon. The 3 pokemon using for the frontier

Swampert
Blaziken
Latios

I defeated 2 of silver frontier - Battle Palace and Battle Pike. Now heading for Battle Factory.

[Dr. Ake]

Today in Emerald, I SR'ed a fair few times for a shiny Groudon. I'm still going, though.

[Knight_Ram]

Just done my daily dose of Rare Candies, gave them to some more victims and sent them through to my Pearl game.

Then I went on to my cloning of Pokémon. Loads of Legends. It is actually very ridiculous.

And after creating loads of clones, I went on to bury a bunch of Berries in which they should be made by tomorrow morning on the bus ride to school.

[Storm_Dragoon]

Caught shiny Whimsur in Sapphire today. It is a shiny female Whismur with a Calm nature. She took me over 70000 encounters to find(which includes encounters I did in previous files).

Now I'm going to go get the rest of the badges and take on the Elite 4. Shiny Swampert is at Lvl 74, so I won't have any problems defeating the rest of the gym leaders or the league.

[ground tamer]

Congrats Storm Dragoon

My Lanturn reached lv.50 last night and i decided to clone it there. I am keeping one at 50 and the other is being trained to 100. Should be fun. My Beldum evolved into Metang and is growing quite fast. At lv.25 it should be at 50 by tonite. Now i need to figure what other pokemon to ev train...

[joeblue]

I just earned my fifth silver symbol (Pyramid) with this team at lv. 72
Alakazam - 3 elemental punches and psychic, EVs 255 each on speed and SpAt
Zapdos - Toxic, Detect, Drill Peck, Thunderbolt - EVs same as Alakazam
Steelix - Earthquake, Rock Slide, Double Edge, Iron Tail - EVs 255 each on speed and attack.

[pikasaur]

sableye lvl 26
kirlia lvl 26

[black dog]

[ground tamer]

Well earlier i finally trained my Ev trained Metagross to lv. 50, an although it took all day, i am quite pleased with the results. On my first attempt with only using my 2 fully ev trained pokemon that i have, both my Lanturn and my Metagross beat Dome Ace Tucker. I literary craped my pants when i found out that his Salamence had EQ, but my Lanturn's Ev-Defence finally kicked in and held on for me. It was my best battle in quite a while.

[Henry769]

just get wiped out by factory head, how annoying...

[ground tamer]

While ev training my Modest Bagon on sp. atk, my first shiny in the third gen. appeared. My new shiny Numel would be a part of my team, but it has the jolly nature...the boost in speed is pointless, and it takes away from is good sp. atk. Shame really...

My Bagon is now fully ev trained, so i plan on sweeping through the BF later today. My line up is pretty nice considering I only have three of the six in my sigy. Lucky they are the 3 strongest. (Lanturn is a nice bulky wall for me, who can absorb an EQ from Tucker's Salamence)

I haven't played sapphire in quite a while but have done so recently. A few weeks ago I sent three colloseum pokemon to my sapphire because I had to "give up" the game cube for personal reasons but wanted to save Entei, umbreon and espeon. I wanted to send raikou but couldn't purify it in time for trade.
Anyway, I wish to catch all the regis and send them with those forementioned pokemon over to Pearl. Since this file hasn't been played in a LONG time and it isn't my first time through, I hadn't done that yet. I began by attempting to find a wailord and so fished for it but on the wrong route. I just ended up battling many sharpedo! I was riding the bus at the time and since I was getting nothing but sharpedo I just automatically attacked with ying ton, my tropius and not paying attention. Once I looked away but clicked an attack and turned back to see a magical leaf hitting the sharpedo but I had noticed something......that sharpedo was purple! D'oh! That would have been my first shiny in gen3 ever and I have played since this game came out-multiple times! Oh well!
I ended up evolving a wailmer and taking my relicanth, crapbag over and begun the events needed for the regis.

Today I took on regirock. I ran out of ultra/nest and luxury balls which were what I had, so begun throwing regular pokeballs. I didn't expect much but surprisingly, one succeeded! I was astounded! It has an adamant nature btw. Next stop, registeel!
