Where are you guys at on your Heart Gold/Soul Silver playthrough?

I was hoping for a method of removing it after it uses it :/

Anything that learns False Swipe, Taunt, and a sleep move?

Disable is the only method I can think of that "removes" Aqua Ring, if for just several turns. Also, what you just mentioned sounds golden.

Wait, IDEA. If you Encore Kyogre so he/she uses Aqua Ring repeatedly, it'll make Kyogre use up all 20 PP when he/she doesn't even need it. Encore + Sleep move + False Swipe sounds better.

But...Aqua Ring lasts until you switch out. If it uses it just once, I'll be forced to continually knock it back down to 1 HP until I can catch it.

Oh, I didn't know it's essentially a permanent Leftovers effect (assuming the pokemon stays alive/unswitched). I never used Aqua Ring before. Taunt it is then.

From how the formula works, trying to catch it at 50% HP has 2/3 the probability of 1 HP. Put it to sleep, get a Scyther/Scizor to false swipe it every now and then, and spam Pokeballs. :/

Taunt is your best bet if you NEED that extra 2% of a % rate in catching it.

Well, I'm trying to catch it in a Premier Ball, so yeah I probably need it.

Killed Chuck with my GenGAR and Jasmine with my Charla. Jasmine was the only one so far who game me a challenge. Flame Wheel did far less damage on her Steelix than I thought. The Rock Throws hurt, and used up a Revive. Gonna need to head to Goldenrod sometime soon to give the rest of my party actual names.



You can't rematch Gym Leaders after fighting Red? That's weak. Sorta makes me not want to fight Red then. :<

Yes you can actually before and after

Classy. Lets see just how much that extra % is. xP
What level is he? 50? Serebii gives him a max HP of 207. 1/16 of that is 13. Every turn he heals 13 HP.
Excel Time. ;D



If I did this right, you just need to False every two or three turns to keep it at a 9% success rate.

On another note, just caught a Brave Nidoran(M). It has Rivalry. Does the game count Nidoran(M) as a male?

Got my copy yesterday, at the Lake of RAEG now

Gallade. It also can learn Mean Look for those pesky roamers.

That's great! Thanks.

Anyhow, just finished training from Fuchsia to Lavender. Explored Lavender and am now heading through the Rock Tunnel to solve the Power Plant problem......Should be getting to Misty soon....

Have 45 Pokemon in my dex, beat Whitney but haven't used the water on the tree yet. Spent 2 hours looking for a Yanma, where I'm told it is. No luck. FML.

It only appeared in swarms in G/S/C. Not sure about in this game.

Iinstead of Taunt, I'm just using a Smeargle with Spore and False Swipe. Gonna take a while to level it up to where it can outspeed Kyogre, though :/

Umm....Why isn't Suicune at Route 25? I've encountered it at all of the previous places.....>.<

Am I missing something?

1% chance at Route 35, except during swarms.

Wow I'm so stupid. I totally forgot I have to beat Misty first. >.>

On average, it should take 100 battles to find. My estimates put me at going through 4 times that. ._.

Are swarms only post-national dex? Or some other event in game?

Mary and Oak's Pokemon Radio reminds you of what Swarms are active that day.

That's what Google told me, but I thought they said "Swarms are...", or something. I see stuff like "Seaking are found on route 40".

When a Swarm is happening you should see this.

Mary: "This is breaking news!"
"A bunch of (insert pokemon here) have decided to
make an appearance at
route (route number). If you're a trainer
who's really wanted to find (insert pokemon here)
head over to route (route number)!

Are Swarms only during certain times or something? I keep seeing the same messages over and over, just telling me what my Pokedex can about pokemon locations. Then it goes to an ad.
