Pokemon Rumble (Melee!) Now dated Q4!

[Squirtleismyhomeboy]

That would be fun, they could sell little battle arena things where they could do battle and stuff

[The T.C.]

Anyone know why certain pokemon level up with wonder keys and others don't? Like my charizard and cheerim stayed their original level, but the other passwords leveled up with the wonder key, I can't seem to find any reason at all on the internets.

[TomDraco]

I believe it's because the password Pokemon have the highest levels in-game, but they put a cap on the power levels in every rank area, which when you complete a rank area and go to a higher rank, your password Pokemon go up too.

Oh, and I just beat Mewtwo today. I love his battle theme.

Also, here's a update to my favorite team members:

Charizard- Flamethrower Aerial Ace

Venusaur- S-Beam E-Ball

Blastose- Waterfall Ice Beam (I-Beam = Beam Spam on Windy Praire)

Dragonite- Agility Dragon Pulse (D-Pulse disappointed me in the look department)

Mew- Shadow Claw T-Wave

Alakazam- Drain Punch (D-Punch is great in Battle Royal, spam it and you'll deal great damage and get much needed health) Teleport

[BCVM22]

Ice Beam is a terrific long-range attack. It's another one that can save your hide in a tight spot where the only choice is to run, run, run, turn around, fire an attack, keep running.

[The T.C.]

Oh yeah I found out why, pokemon from afar (Passwords or wiimote stored) level up with the keys, but not all have high levels, so some will cap out at level A normal whereas others will cap out at level EX.

Another thing, anyone know if the odds for shiny pokemon are the same as regular games or if it's easier to find?

Also I like rollout XP

[BCVM22]

I don't know if the numeric odds for a shiny are identical to the core titles, but they're still plenty rare.

[Will-powered Spriter]

My brother just got a shiny. I'd be jealous if it looked remotely different.

On the subject of useful moves, I find multi-hit movement moves like Megahorn and quick attack invaluable against hordes of weak enemies and bosses too. Roost and Recover are excellant as the gradual healing won't wear off until it heals the set amount, so you can use it at full health and heal off damage when you take it. Lastly, easily spamable power up attacks like metal claw and ancient power are brilliant for powering up before battle.

BTW, what is the groundshake spin and the invincibility smoke move all bosses have?

[Toge Tamer]

I think the chance to get a shiny is lowered, as I have 4 shinies:

Arbok
Tentacruel
Clefairy
Piplup.

That or I'm extremely lucky. Shinies always seem to have a special ability / trait too...

[Squirtleismyhomeboy]

i like my mew, poison jab and drain punch, gets me through atleast till the battle royale bosses appear

[MegaGalvatron]

My only shiny is a Rhydon. I also beat Normal Mode and now I'm on Advanced Mode.

[Shiny Rokon]

I just started this game last night, simple but addictive and fun. I like the music. I'm only on rank B so far. Special pokemon I have caught: lucky pidgeotto and steady venonat, mostly use vulpix, also got the password pokemon available here mew and eevee. My highest level pokemon so far excluding the password pokemon is machoke 195. So only kanto and sinnoh pokemon? are they thinking of adding 2nd and 3rd gen pokemon later? sounds like a nintendo scheme to get more money, it wouldn't have been that hard to have them all in considering ranch has already done all the sprites.

[BCVM22]

Is the game experience lacking that much for not being able to play as Feraligatr/Swampert instead of Blastoise/Empoleon?

[Shiny Rokon]

haha, i guess not. I just finished the kanto part of the game with gengar and nidoking, how random. Now onto the advanced sinnoh part. I haven't caught all the kanto pokemon though. Haven't seen or caught any shinys, and have too many pokemon with special abilities now to list. Anyway, good fun. Think i better do something productive now though.

[Shiny-Charizard-234]

I've been playing rumble and wondered wether I can release my ryhdons and get a rhypieror before 'another mode'. I didnt know becase sinnoh pokemon arnt in the game till another mode. anybody know ?

Tried it, and you can get sinnoh mon via tickets before you reach another mode.

[Hitaka]

You know how sometimes enemy pokemon get 'stunned' and they have stars around them, and if you kill them like that you're guaranteed to capture them? Is there a trick to getting that to happen, or is it random?

[BCVM22]

Completely random. Anecdotally, people have reported that high combo strings and high critical hit percentages can seem to raise the chances, but there's nothing to prove that.

My Mew has Shadow Ball and X-scissor. It's only been KO'd once and I'm up to S-Rank now.

I don't know if the numeric odds for a shiny are identical to the core titles, but they're still plenty rare.

Are they really that rare? I found both a shiny Nidoking and a shiny Nidoqueen about a minute appart from eachother. I've only been playing for a few hours though.

[BCVM22]

Are they really that rare?

I'm up to EX with about 14 hours in the books and the only shinies I've encountered, I didn't actually encounter - I obtained them from numeric codes. You encountered some kinda odds in finding two back-to-back.

[The T.C.]

I got a shiny Healthy Golduck apaprently. It knows Cross Chop. Best move ever.

LOL I almost deleted it when I noticed the name was blue, I'm used to shinies actually shining.
