r/pokemonplatinum

It took only a week but i finaly got it

Focus sash empoleon w ice beam wiped that Garchomp

Alright platinum was the first pokemon game I ever played when it first came out and since then I’ve played most the other games and a bunch of romhacks so I’m excited to come back to this one. Rn I want some opinions on different parties I’m thinking of running. These are not the final version and are likely to change but a big focus on having fun with it and being somewhat of a challenge or unique game.

Underused Pokemon: These are pokemon I’ve never really used in a run but I’ve always liked and aren’t exactly what superfans would say are the best pokemon. Alts: heracross, spiritomb, rhyperior, whiscash

Ground type + tyranitar: I’ve always loved ground types and tyranitar/garchomp are my favorite pokemon but I’ve never used them together in a run before. Alts: gliscor, rhyperior, ???

Steel type: this one honestly feels like it would be super dominant but really cool. Alts: dialga, aggron, heatran, bastiodan, and a few others

lmk what you think!!

Zingo being the absolute goat and Hinari my favorite pokemon 😁

Hello and welcome to Ability-a-Day! The series started by u/ianlazrbeem22 & u/zG-FuRy plus continued by myself.

Previous day: Ability-a-Day #63: Overgrow

Today, we have Own Tempo. This ability protects the pokemon from being confused. This ability is used by Slowpoke, Slowbro, Slowking, Lickitung, Lickilicky, Smeragle, Spoink, Grumpig, Spinda, Glameow and Purugly.

This ability also prevents self-inflicted confusion (such as from moves like Thrash or items like the Iapapa Berry). A Pokémon with this Ability will be cured of confusion if it is confused while in battle (such as if it gains the Ability by an effect like Skill Swap, or is confused by a Pokémon with an Ability like Mold Breaker). If the Pokémon with this Ability is confused and is holding a Persim or Lum Berry, Own Tempo will cure the Pokémon of confusion before the Berry has a chance to be consumed.

If a Pokémon with Trace is sent into battle via Baton Pass and is confused as a result, if it gains Own Tempo via Trace it will be cured of confusion immediately. In this generation, if a Pokémon is confused and has a status condition, if its confusion is cured by Own Tempo, the status condition icon will disappear from the HP bar while it is in battle. The status condition will continue to take effect, however. If a Pokémon with Own Tempo holding a Persim or Lum Berry is confused by a move that ignores Abilities, Own Tempo will activate before the Berry has a chance to be consumed.

This seems like great ability to stop annoying moves like Supersonic, Confuse Ray and Swagger. But some pokemon have preferences, like Grumpig and Purugly running Thick Fat more than Own Tempo. In doubles, this ability and Swagger make a good combination, like using Swagger on a pokemon with Own Tempo will get the +2 Attack boost without being confused, that's really cool. Purugly and Lickilicky would be a good doubles mons with an ally with Swagger.

In later generations, If a Pokémon with Own Tempo is confused due to obtaining it from Baton Pass, it will not be cured of confusion until after a Pokémon takes its turn (uses a move, switches out, etc.). If a Pokémon with Own Tempo holding a Persim or Lum Berry is confused by a move that ignores Abilities, the Berry will be eaten before Own Tempo can cure the Pokémon of confusion. Starting in Generation 8, Own Tempo now blocks intimidate. Also, more pokemon would have Own Tempo, such as Lilligant, Tinkaton (Mold Breaker is better), Avalugg and Mudsdale (Stamina is better). Rockruff would have this ability in the wild, evolving into Lycanroc Dusk Form during the evening. Tell me your thoughts about this ability by giving it a comment!

What do you think about Own Tempo, have you used it successfully? If anything I'm missing? Just let me know!

Have been playing it doing a forever save. Chasing black trainer card. Sometimes it will randomly freeze has me thinking it’s reproduction card.

Got him randomly while playing regularly. He's my first shiny ever (on legit hardware at least haha) and would like to get some use out of him in the late game so he earns his right to be on the final photo.

He's got pretty decent phys/sp defense IVs and mid IVs for everything else but his nature is awful (Quiet) and looks like the elite 4 in this game is really tough even for better bug pokemon.

This is the FIRST version of the battle league.

Almost evrey room is empy, waiting for you to conquer it and become its leader!

When a room is empty you will face system generated trainers.

With time trainers from all over the world will claim their spot, then you will have to face them!

Tower rules are simple: no illegal pokemon, no illigal ev spread, no illigal abilities and moves. I will strictly monitor and promptly ban where system checks could not operate!

Let him analyse bro what if they serve something bad by accident

This is not a fancy restaurant, its just a simple one.

You are not the fancy dressed one plz be humble.

Also at the ending you said i had confidence before heading into this.

God even your breeder outfit looks bad

Read yourself before making fun your date/assume everything or something.

I would really like to see what everyone has in mind

Tried my best to match them to their characters. My adamant nature Tyranitar is my praised Pokemon. Fits my favorite character Guts perfectly.

Previous day: Ability-a-Day #62 Oblivious

Today, we have Overgrow. This ability boosts the power of Grass-type moves by 50% (x1.5) if the Pokemon's HP drops to 1/3 (33%) or less of its max HP. This ability is used by the Grass-type starters: Bulbasaur line, Chikorita line, Treecko line and Turtwig lines

I think this ability increases Torterra's (and Meganium's) damage output with Grass-type moves, allowing to hit hard with Wood Hammer (or Leaf Storm), specially after a Swords Dance. Because of Wood Hammer having recoil damage, Torterra might faint itself from the recoil damage while it's boosted by Overgrow, it can have Seed Bomb, a Grass-type with perfect accuracy more than Razor Leaf, but the problem is the Move Tutor for that move is locked behind the postgame...

Also, Torterra's 75 Base Sp. Atk isn't good as its 109 Base Attack, as Cresselia, Absol and Probopass all have the same Base Sp. Atk as Torterra, only to be beaten by Noctowl who has 1 point of base Sp. Atk. higher than Torterra. Maybe Growth (Egg move from Tangela, Tangrowth, Roselia, Roserade, Tropius, Cherubi, Cherrim and Carnivine) and Overgrow might make the damage dealt with Giga Drain, Leaf Storm and Energy Ball more better?

From Generation 5 onward, Instead of boosting the power of the Grass-type moves, Overgrow now technically boosts the Pokémon's Attack or Special Attack by 50% during damage calculation if a Grass-type move is being used, resulting in effectively the same effect. On Mystery Dungeon Series, When the Pokémon's HP falls below 25%, the power of Grass-type moves increases by x2 times (nerfed to x1.5 times from Super Mystery Dungeon onwards). Overall a good and situational ability. Tell me your thoughs about this ability by giving it a comment!

What do you think about Overgrow, have you used it successfully? If anything I'm missing? Just let me know!

Bred a male Lapras with a Ditto. The parent Lapras has Brine, Ice Beam, and Safeguard. These moves were inherited by the hatched Lapras even though they aren't listed as egg moves anywhere.
