Finally cleared Area 10 of White Treehollow and got my hands on the shiny Dratini. I guess it's time to start working on the Pokedex...

Welp, we finished our little excursion through the Desert Resort, and managed to find many good items for later on (with the 'many good items' namely being shards, of course). I battled the remaining trainers in the Relic Castle, as well as captured every native Pokemon I could find (though I might be missing one in the Relic Castle...). With the Desert Resort practically completed, I rode my bike all the way up to Route 5 to train my team up to level 32 for Elesa. However, instead of going to challenge her now, I've decided to first capture all the Pokemon in the Lostlorn Forest. Hopefully it won't take to long as I'm pretty eager to battle Elesa again and hear that awesome Gym theme. Oh, and I also finally decided to let my Marill evolve, as Azumarill would be much more suited for the upcoming Gym challenge. Oh yeah, and Eevee into Jolten as well.

EDIT: Jebus Chrismo, I just finished searching up the Lostlorn Forest on Bulbapedia... and my god are their a ton of Pokemon to catch. Not sure if I'll be willing to do the extra searching for the rarer 'mons.

Current Team:

Chow (Male) Lvl. 32

Azure Renamed again because screw 'Bleu' (Female) Lvl. 32

Lightning (Female) Lvl. 32

Hermit Hut (Male) Lvl. 32

Just cleared Black Tower and started scouring the region for TMs. When I stop being lazy there are 646 Pokemon to transfer over.

That really would have been easier. I really don't like the catch rate either. Certainly not doing that again! Haha

Decided that while I'm filling the entries for seen Pokemon, I might as well fill up the caught entries as well. Visited a bunch of Hidden Grottos and to my luck, there were a lot of Pokemon this time! I got an Manectric, Marill, and a Pachirisu. I'll have to EV train those later. I caught the Swarm of the day at the Abundant Shrine: Slowpokes. That's one national dex entry down! And finally I went to pick up my daily fossil from Twist Mountain, and it was a Skull Fossil! Definitely gonna train that Cranidos into a Rampardos sometime.

After having beaten Black 2 and White 2 on all stories and finishing preparing for the PWT Tournaments I stopped and had a friend trade me some powerful pokemon. I used EV trained Ninetails, Salamence, and Scizor being able to beat the Unova, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh with barely any problems. Then I beat the World Leaders Tournament a couple times and saved. Going to keep working on it until I unlock the Champions Tournament.

**Winter02** · 3rd January 2013, 11:04 PM

Went to the Gym and challenged all the regular trainers there. Then, I went out to Route 9 to train a little more, captured a Pawniard and a Muk here as well. After that, it was time for the Gym Leader himself. I entered the Gym again and challenged Drayden. Started with my Vaporeon as he uses Dragon-types which Vaporeon has Aurora Beam to deal with. It could defeat his Druddigon with a Critical Hit Aurora Beam and OHKO his Flygon. His Altaria was only 2HKO’d, and when he sent out his Haxorus, my Vaporeon had taken enough damage to be KO’d by Dragon Tail after one Aurora Beam. I sent in my Lucario to KO his Haxorus with Aura Sphere. I had won the battle, which got me the Legend Badge and a TM for Dragon Tail.

Drayden wanted to tell me the truth about the legendary Dragon Pokemon on order from Professor Jupiter. He told me the story about how the two dragons had been one from the beginning and how nobody really knows what Kyurem exactly is. When he was done with the story, we heard sounds from the outside. We went out and saw a giant flying ship. It had a cannon which shot a bunch of ice that froze parts of the city. The Ice couldn’t be broken either. Zinzolin, the Plasma leader from earlier appeared and told us they were after the DNA Splicers. So we had to protect them. I battled a few Plasma Grunts and the leader, but in the end, they got away with the DNA Splicers thanks to the Shadow Triad. Cheren and my Rival called me on my Xtransciever and told me to go to Humilau City though the Marine Tube.

So I did. Captured an Unfezant on Route 12 along the way. Arrived at Undella Town and went through the Marine Tube which was made for people to watch Pokemon… or for Pokemon to watch people? Either way, I saw a Wailord while walking through it, then I had arrived in Humilau City, where I met my Rival. He told me to challenge the Gym here, but I wanted to wait with it for now. Instead, I explored the city. Met a few interesting people, found a few items and captured a Corsola. Before challenging the Gym, I wanted to train a bit more. So I headed south to Route 21 and battled the trainers here and picked up all items as well.

At the end of the Route, I found the second entrance to the Seaside Cave. I entered, and it was to my great fortune not blocked here. Explored the main floor of the cave, battled all trainers, picked up all items and captured a Seel. At the end of the Cave, I met the Blackbelt with his Roggenrola again. This time, he wanted to battle me. I accepted, and battled him, won easily because… Roggenrola aren’t that good. He left afterwards, which means that I can now enter the cave from either direction, making Unova a bit more open. I went down to the basement level of the cave, battled the trainers here, pushed the boulders in holes and found a few more items. Then I left the cave. There was one more exit on the east side of the cave which I couldn’t get out through since it was blocked by a strange boulder. I guess I’ll have to return later to see if there is anything that can be done about that. Went back to Humilau, I’ll challenge the Gym tomorrow.

Team:

- level 56

- level 55

**spiderbrush** · 4th January 2013, 6:28 AM

Finally caught myself a Lapras at Village Bridge after... I don't know, 1 1/2 to 2 hours? Considering the percentage rate it shows up, I suppose it didn't take that long.
Now that I've done that, I'm training my team for Drayden.

**Absoltastic** · 4th January 2013, 7:04 AM

Just trained a Grumpig, Scrafty, and currently training a Vespiquen to level 100 for PWT rotation battle purposes. This is going to be fun. I think Vespiquen may be a weak link, but with this rotation battle strategy, it ought to be bulky enough to suffice.

Then I am going to continue Magnemite trading for an uber Join Avenue.

**1Drunk Hydreigon** · 4th January 2013, 9:53 AM

Iv'e pretty much conquered unova in both games just finished the white tower with my current team

**1Drunk Hydreigon** · 4th January 2013, 9:57 AM

Ghetsis was so easy to beat the second time

**Rakurai** · 4th January 2013, 10:10 AM

Presently working on a team for the Normal type expert tournament.

Recently finished training an Ambipom, bringing my total count of EV trained/high IV Pokemon to 13 now.

**silver_phoenix** · 4th January 2013, 1:29 PM

taght my Keldeo Secret Sword. now I'm training around Undella Town.

**StanTheStaraptor** · 4th January 2013, 1:55 PM

Played at least four hours today, possibly more. Finally completed my National Dex, 69:03 play time. The final five to obtain were:
Hitmontop (evolved a Tyrogue pain in the a** to get those stats even!)
Heatran (caught a Timid one first try! Yes!)
Chansey (traded my Zapdos for it on the GTS because I was too impatient to wait til morning and too lazy to find an oval stone)
Blissey (evolved above Chansey$
Seedot. I could not believe something so common was my last thing to get (considering in SS it was Latias) I even had a box full of 'em on White. I bred my Shiftry to get it.

Got the shiny charm, and now feel empty. Dexing has been my life this past month. What now?

**Christ** · 4th January 2013, 6:01 PM

I´ve been greatly enjoying the game so far. I think it´s the most fun pokegame I played

. It had a lot of things that were really cool, from the competitive friendship with cool guy who wants to rescue his sister´s pokemon, to the world tournament and the awesome stage in the gym of Elesa that makes you feel like a boss.

But so far what I´ve been feeling kinda meh is my party. which I´ll put in order of how much I like them:

Licenciada

Flamer

Bushido

So there were others there but i just took them out for now. I´ve been using exp.share on some pokemons I don´t use so that they evolve and I add their new forms to my caught list. I had been trying to have a good pokemon catcher with electric types, but they couldn´t learn false swipe. After a google search I noticed Absol and another like two could learn the best catcher moves, and lucky me I just reached the Route 13 soon after that. I managed to catch and Absol now, so I got my star catcher!

Huntress

So then I went back to Lentimas to make Licenciada level up some (you´d need to be Ecuadorian to know how awesome of a name she has xD) and now I am going to play around Undella some more. I will try to find pokemons that make me excited to have in my party.

**ToeyJoey** · 4th January 2013, 8:35 PM

Hydreigon used Dragon Pulse
Foe's Haxorus hung on with it's Focus Sash
Foe's Haxorus used Dragon Dance
Iris used Full Restore on Haxorus
Hydreigon used Dragon Pulse
Foe Haxorus fainted.

Shouldn't the Champion be smarter than this?

**Winter02** · 4th January 2013, 11:18 PM

Went to the Gym and battled the regular trainers there. Before battling Marlon, I trained a bit more outside. Then, it was time to battle him. Since he uses Water-types, I started with my Roserade against his team. One Giga Drain was enough to take his Wailord down. I switched to my Lucario against his Mantine and defeated it with a Rock Slide. Then, I switched back to Roserade which took out his Carracosta and Jellicent with two Giga Drains each. I won, got the Wave Badge, final badge of the game, and a TM containing Scald. I left the Gym and met my Rival again, who said we should split up to look for Team Plasma. He told me to go to Route 22, which is where I had planned to go anyway.

Captured a Starmie in the city, then I went out to the Route. I battled all trainers here, picked up all items and found a Hidden Grotto. I also saw another strong-looking Pokemon on the Route, Colress appeared and told me that it was Terrakion, a legendary Pokemon. He also gave me a strange machine and mentioned something about a stone in Seaside Cave being similar to the ones we saw on Route 4. Then, he left the place. I didn’t want to fight Terrakion, so I let it be for now. Entered the Giant Chasm, captured a Clefairy and a Vanillish, but could not get very far as it was blocked by two Plasma members. I could not get past them, and they said something about Route 21. Guess I should go back there to see if something is happening there.

I went back to Humilau and surfed down through Route 21, but didn’t see anything special. Decided to enter the cave and check the strange stone Colress told me about. I approached it, and it turned out I could use the Machine he gave me to awake the stone. It turned out to be a Crustle, just like the ones on Route 4. I battled the Crustle and captured it. This also meant I could get out through the final exit in the cave. I went out there, and in front of me was the Plasma ship. My Rival appeared from behind. So this is where Team Plasma is, but how are we supposed to get on board the ship?

This problem solved itself as Marlon appeared and in some strange way brought out the bridge to the ship, so we could enter it. He left us then, had some other thigns to do. We entered the ship and started exploring it. I found a few items, battled a bunch of Plasma members and had to obtain a password in order to get to one otherwise blocked part of the boat. When we got there, we met Zinzolin again. He showed us that they had managed to capture Kyurem and use it to shoot ice with the boat. We battled against him and a grunt and won, but they would not get rid of Kyurem. Instead, the Shadow Triad appeared and threw us off the boat.

We were back at the beach again and saw the ship fly away. Cheren appeared and said it was probably heading towards the Giant Chasm. So that was where we had to go next. I flew to Humilau and headed out to Route 22, entered the Chasm again. The Plasma grunts that had blocked the way before moved now, so I could get past them. Explored the main cavern of the Chasm, picked up all items here and captured a Piloswine. Found three more exits, one leading south, one west which was blocked by Plasma Grunts, and one leading further into the Chasm. I decided to take the south exit for now, headed out and went to Lacunosa Town. Tomorrow, I’ll finish all business in the Chasm, hopefully Team Plasma as well.

Team:

- level 58

- level 59

**ManhattanTheStarr** · 5th January 2013, 1:48 AM

Too much has happened since my last update, so let me just say that I trumped Elesa and Clay's teams and dominated the (Driftveil) Pokemon World Tournament. After confronting the Plasmas in their little boat, I moved on to Route 6 to battle the trainers and capture the wild Pokemon. I managed to push my way up to the Chargestone Cave, which is my current location. I think we've cleaned up the most of this cave's trainers, so we'll be in Mistralton City soon.

Current Team:

Chow (Male) Lvl. 38

Azure (Female) Lvl. 38

Lightning (Female) Lvl. 38

Hermit Hut (Male) Lvl. 37

**Zoruagible** · 5th January 2013, 3:03 AM

I finally tracked down the 10th floor gate trainer and reached Benga. I defeated Benga and got my shiny Gible. I trained Gible a bit so he would evolve into Gabite then I got Tornadus from Dream Radar

**neo darkrai** · 5th January 2013, 3:49 AM

I got myself some nice stuff. I got the base forms of the Johto and Hoenn starters. Cyndaquil and Totodile were named Firework and Hydra. Both homages to people that I admire in the community. Treeko and Torchic were named Uro and Shamo. I also got all of my shops in the Join Avenue up to Rank 10 and am now reaping the benefits. So yeah. Next up on my list is the Sinnoh starters.

Spoiler:- Progress:

**Elementer** · 5th January 2013, 8:56 AM

EVOLUTION DAY!

That's right. First, Magby evolved to Magmar, now Trapinch to Vibrava (no more pseudo crab-lobster-turtle thing that's as fast as a squashed bag of mutantly-altered potatoes; though I like his design better than creepy insect-snake), and finally...]SNIVY, my poor ol' smug starter, and Servine the smug snake with limbs, evolve all the way to Serperior . At last. Ah...they grow up so fast...

In other news, two badges in two days! I'm surprised at how quickly I'm charging through the game, and I hope I don't rush it too much. Elesa (her gym was...weird. Too many female pixels staring...) was dealt by Trapinch (I'll miss that abnormally large mouth of his

) and Clay was thoroughly beat with Servine (*gasp* I can't believe it has leaf blade!), whose gym was much much better. It seemed more puzzle-reminiscent, which I still feel nostalgic about. I miss those old gyms...except for the Ice Gyms. I hate sliding around on those. Blargh. Anyways, fun day today, especially with all the snagging on Chargestone Cave and Route 7. Yup.

**Unredemption** · 5th January 2013, 3:59 PM

I finally decided to start breeding for a proper Singles team, and set off to poach a colony of Dittos for IV and Nature breeding. Unfortunately, a wild Metang appeared! He wasn't in the Pokedex yet and I couldn't resist the temptation to get his entry over and done with. 70 balls later and one fainted Metang (death by Struggle) later, I finally had myself a Metang. Way to disrupt my plans for tonight... guess I will be continuing my hunting tomorrow after a fresh restock of balls.

**pokedigijedi** · 5th January 2013, 5:49 PM

currently have capture all the legendary pokemon except for registeel and regigigas and while waiting for my brother to get the key in his game so we exchange them i am currently hunting for an adamant female vigoroth or slaking for breeding purposes(im trying to get a vigoroth with the moves body slam and hammer harm for a future 5 man eviolite team)

4th gen gts got shut down as far as I know

I got mine on Christmas and still haven't encountered a shiny. Not that I'm trying anything special, like Masuda Method

**~Azurill~** · 5th January 2013, 6:58 PM

Hi guys, I'm new in the forum and I'm kinda lost x.x'
So I think I'm going to start by posting my team and yea D: I have just defeated the two Team Plasma Grunts in the Castelia Sewers and now I'm training to fight Burgh, the third Gym Leader.
Right now my team is like this:

Servine - Level: 23
Ability: Overgrow
Nature: Relaxed
~ Tackle
~ Leech Seed
~ Leaf Tornado
~ Growth

Azumarill - Level: 23
Ability: Huge Power
Nature: Jolly
~ Aqua Tail
~ Return
~ Tail Whip
~ Charm

I'm having trouble choosing other Pokémon to complete it but right now I caught an Eevee (Timid) and a Magnemite. I might want to use a Magnezone or a Jolteon =/ Do you think one of these would be good for my team? Also if you do, which one?
Please help me choosing, I'd appreciate it a lot =)

**Rakansen** · 5th January 2013, 8:12 PM

I just defeated Ghetsis in the Giant Chasm! It's been forever since I played my copy of Black 2, and it's about time I finish my game. Now I'm headed to Victory Road. I'm training a team full of Steel-types so I get the Steel-type Master Medal. Unfortunately, I will need field moves along the way when I get to the Pokémon League to collect items, so I'm just going to bring three Pokémon on my team while I'm at Victory Road so I have space to use Pokémon with field moves.
