Magcargo with Magma Armor and circles around Mauville's upper level.

I always felt like Wally was a great rival. More than anything, the artwork and style of his character in the game seemed to evolve as you got farther in the game, showing him going from a boy trying to be grown, to a boy who WAS grown and much more confident in his abilities. As someone above...

Hmmm, never noticed I did that on Rotom. Will change! Ice Punch does seem like the better alternative. Changing! Thanks!

Hmm, did I post this is in the wrong place? o.O

A few weeks ago, I tried to put a team together on here with a Gengar/Zoroark core. It was terrible. So after downloading Showdown and taking the advice of some of the more friendly players there, I came up with what I have now. It does well enough, but I know it isn't the best it could be...

Ok, so I should just keep hatching? Can do. So Roserade gets Technician upon level evolution? Sweet. That solves that! Thanks for your quick reply!

Breeding Question from a Newbie Hey guys, Shinken here! I've just today started my foray into the realm of Pokemon breeding. I have watched countless videos, including looked up various guides on the subject. Sadly... I am stumped on something. I will do my best not to stumble over my...

Love the Scizor idea (mega or normal?). Such an awesome 'mon. So Ferrothorn is my Rock setter, Gengar my Sp. Attacker, Zoroark, erm... seems he's in a weird spot... so now I just need a good physical attacker and tank...

Oddly enough, the one pokemon I wanted to keep was Zoroark... it was kind of my inspiration for picking Gengar, as I could force a switch and take advantage of it. Infernape, I am ok with leaving aside. Much as I love him, I know there are better options. So what do I need now? I know I need...

Awesome responses, thanks! Gonna make some changes then edit the post. Got a lot to think about!

So being fairly new to competitive battling, I have been wanting to put together a team that is not only effective, but also fun! While I currently do not have a full roster, I have 3-4 pokemon that I have decided would make the cut. Not only do I like them a lot, but I find they are pretty...

Dragon- Thank you for the warm welcome, and I will keep that in mind! There are many questions and wonders I have had about this game! While the franchise is hardly new to me, the absolute multitude of things to do is staggering, and the competitive/battling community are uncharted waters for me...

I feel like OR/AS is the way it was always supposed to be played. Such a huge, huge change from the last game I played (Plat.). I finished the Delta Episode (is it me or did they jump the shark on making Rayquaza so powerful. I can go Mega AND hold an item? Whaaaaaat?!), devoured the storyline...

Hello Poke Community! I'm a long time lurker who finally feels its time to come out from the shadows and join the discussions. Long time player here (I'm 30, so I remember playing Red/Blue on the bus to school as a kid), but after Platinum, I fell out of playing and only now picked it back up...
