I'm surprised you had that much trouble in the first place, considering you were cheesing with Korrina's Lucario. After a couple Power-Up Punches, Bone Rush would've swept through Clemont's whole team like an Oil Slider rubbing against Elec Man. He doesn't have Emolga or anything with Levitate on it, so it should've been a snap...

I had a bit more trouble with Clemont than most people, considering that at the time my team was four levels under him and half of my party was weak to Electric. Megazard Y was useful in getting rid of Magneton (though not without a close call from crit Thunderbolt that left him Paralyzed), with Drought helping Roselia throw Leech Seed and set up a Growth while draining his Heliolisk's health due to Dry Skin. After she got that +2 under her belt, Roselia had no problems disposing of Dedenne and the already-weakened Heliolisk with Giga Drain.

So I've been playing this romhack of Pokemon FireRed

It's the most annoying Pokemon romhack I've ever played, and it's the first one I've ever played.

It is annoying because of one, and only one, change:

ALMOST ALL TRAINERS HAVE POTIONS NOW

Potions, Super Potions, Lemonade, Soda Pop, Fresh Water, YOU NAME IT.

It's like Elite 4: The Game.

I'm pretty sure they're only allowed like 2 hyper potions/in their inventory.

In the GBA titles they are scripted by default to allow up to 4 items in the inventory, however if edited (Usually through a HEX editor like Goldfinger) they can be changed to hold up to 255 regardless of what it is. If it is an X Attack or any of those, they will use it on turn 1 or 2, if it is a healing item they will use it if it drops below a set amount of HP depending on the Pokemon. If it's a status healing item they use it as soon as the status is afflicted. But again, if manually edited from the default you can change these events to happen whenever you want. For example, in the rom hack Pokemon Fire Red Omega, the champion will use a full restore if any Pokemon he has falls anywhere below 50%.

I learned this from working on GBA rom hacks.

The fairy gym was great.

It reminded me of the (Kanto) Psychic and Water gyms in Red/Blue/Green/Yellow/Gold/Silver/Crystal/FireRed/LeafGreen/HeartGold/SoulSilver.


...


Because you can skip every trainer except the Gym Leader.

Random fun fact. Humans are technicly Fighting/dark types

Y is now the first Pokemon game where my strongest Pokemon is NOT my starter.


Because my Mawile has leveled up to 2 levels above my Geninja, thanks to psychic type Pokemon being everywhere.

[5:23:45 PM] SmashMan.EXE: so I have this Victini named Viewtiful
[5:23:54 PM] SmashMan.EXE: and once you transfer things you can't rename them
[5:24:05 PM] SmashMan.EXE: so I'm going to do the worst possible thing and ask you guys for suggestions

[Gumballtoid]

Name it Victini

[Tfp BreakDown]

So... Guess who got their ass handed to in sapphire. Yup.. This guy. So basically I'm currently at the final part of the game(against the elite four) and I want to know the best spot for level grinding in the game and the best level to be at when fighting against them.

[ice]

just grind on golbats and Haryama at victory road
P.S. Victory road is absolute hell if you're doing a bug only run

[Tfp BreakDown]

I was hoping there would be another way besides that. ( so much scarring of confuse ray and frustration from whirlwind.)

[ice]

Train in the dark area with the medicham till you can two shot the bats?

[Hallan Parva]

I'm wondering how the heck you're not flat-out steamrolling the Elite 4
Steven's really the only scary part and if you have a Beefyken even he can crumble


what's your team composition
