As long as Scizor's ability is Technician, yeah. Technician increase the base power of moves which have a power of 60 or less by 50%.

It doesn't need speed that badly when it has Technician and Bullet Punch.

This is true.

Scizor is actually significantly slower than Scyther and relatively slow compared to other Pokemon. Comes with gaining Steel typing.

An Umbreon set up to stall you out can be super annoying. Not so much now but back then, yeah.

And Dark is weak to Fighting and Bug in Gen IV. Gen VI added another weakness when they introduced Fairy. It resists Dark and Ghost and is immune to Psychic.

As for shinies, I have...

Either bred or caught, legit - Butterfree, Vileplume, Glalie, Fennekin, Magikarp, 2 Gyarados, Ninetales, Hippowdon, Cacturne, Ludicolo

Events - Xerneas, Yveltal, Tapu Koko, Silvally, Zygarde, Poipole, Metagross

Received in Wonder Trades, don't know the legitimacy - Manaphy, Mothim, Vulpix, Tyranitar, Granbull, Heracross, Togekiss, Luxray

From Silver using the Ditto glitch - Sneaseal, Houndoru, Drowzee, Horsea, Dratini, Ekans, Sudowoodo

Ninetales, Hippowdon, Cacturne, and Ludicolo were all accidents while I was breeding various teams for replays.

Wow, too bad you can't do this in the VC versions ...I assume

Oh no you totally can, and then you can put them in Bank and move them up to more modern games. I made like 5 or 6 shinies that way.

Anakin didn't build 3PO, he fixed up a junk 3PO model protocol droid from Watto's shop over the course of several years using parts from said shop.

Nah the shiny rate is the standard 1 in 4096 it's been for several gens.

There are a few things that can increase it even in the early game though. Chain catching/defeating the same Pokemon repeatedly offers an increase and even outside of chaining encountering the same Pokemon over and over slightly increases the rates. At 500 of a Pokemon defeated overall + a 25 chain (the max) the odds are around 1 in 585.cc

Also I did not realize raising bellossom would be such a pain in the ass. I just wanted her to be on my Johto team. It sounds like she would only be efficient once I beat the game or something

Yeah she'll be more of a Kanto thing, but Gloom is pretty fine for Johto.

---

http://goforbeau.com/

Yeah it can learn Fly.

---

http://goforbeau.com/

Oh and you want to save the Sun Stone for a while. Bellossom only learns two moves in Gen IV, Magical Leaf at LV23 and Leaf Storm at LV53. ML never misses but only has 60 base power, not really worth it. Leaf Storm is very strong, 140 BP with 90% accuracy but lowers your special attack by two stages with each use.

On the other hand Gloom learns a few more moves on the way up, including Moonlight (LV41) and Giga Drain (LV47) for healing yourself. Then it gets Petal Dance at LV53. 90BP, locks you into the move for 2-3 turns, afterwards the Pokemon is confused. It's also Bellossom's signature move, I usually go with it for that reason alone.

So you have a choice of what you eventually want the main attacking move to be. I'd at least get to 41 for Moonlight. Giga Drain is a TM so no need to go for it unless you're going to 53. .

You could also dump both Leaf Storm and Petal Dance and use the Energy Ball TM for a grass move. 80BP with no downsides. Or do a setup moveset with Sunny Day and Solarbeam TMs.

Bellossom/Vileplume don't have the greatest moveset in Gen IV, you're pretty much going to run Grass move/Sludge Bomb/Moonlight/Filler. Usually my filler is Toxic if I'm not using Sunny Day/Solarbeam.

Also Leaf Stone evolves Oddish into Vileplume. To get a Bellossom, you need a Sun Stone, which you can get by winning the Bug Catching Contest in the National Park (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday iirc) so you can grab it now. Evolving Togetic will only be possible in the post-game, however.

To add to this, you can save before you do it, and just save scum for the win, it's what I'd always do if I was using Bellossom. Pinsir or Scyther can usually win it for you IIRC.

Nidhogg's really good but yeah if two people stalemate it can go on and on. I had a match with a friend that was around 25 minutes, most of that in the starting room.

That's why we have a house rule that the boomerang modifier is always on, it seems to reduce stalemates.

---

http://goforbeau.com/

Heroic Bigpun posted...

Is that because it won't die so easily and it's more neutral? Well I appreciate you analyzing them

Pretty much. If I was looking for an ideal Oddish nature for in game use I'd run Modest or Timid. Bold or Gentle are also good but more defensive. But with 24 natures and no way for you to currently manipulate what natures you're finding I'd settle for neutral.

---

http://goforbeau.com/

The Mild and Rash ones have increased Sp Att growth which is good but Mild has decreased Def growth and Rash decreased Sp Def growth. Both usable but might not be able to take hits well from whichever side doesn't grow as well.

Quirky and Docile are neutral natures that don't have increased or decreased growth in any stat. The Docile one may have the highest possible base Speed modifier though.

Of course we can't see the hidden stats so some of this is guesswork.

If it were me I'd probably roll with the Docile one.

---

http://goforbeau.com/

I honestly don't remember!

---

http://goforbeau.com/

Oh yeah and on the subject of natures you really don't have to worry about it for in game unless they're just utterly badly rolled and then it might be harder to use them.

HOLY SHIT I just ran into one of the dogs!

I paralyzed him but he ran

......did I just lose out on him?

Nah you can find him again later and IIRC the paralysis stays. They wander the map until you either kill them or capture them, and always run immediately unless you lock them down with status effects or an ability or move that prevents fleeing.

---

http://goforbeau.com/

Flaaffy is probably decent, neutral natures generally work for any in game 'Mon.

Togetic's nature actually makes his best base stat grow faster but he'll be weaker to physical attacks as a result. Still usable.

Onix is bad, especially if you eventually get Steelix. His nature raises Speed growth and lowers Defense growth, but Steelix's defense is his best stat and speed is his worst. Onix and Steelix just suck in general though.

Croconaw has a neutral nature and may have the best possible base attack modifier. Probably quite good!


---

http://goforbeau.com/

Ehhhh worst possible, no, but that's not great.

In game it shouldn't really matter too much but Oddish is an easy catch if you wanted a different one.

Cyber Sleuth is good but it's no replacement for Pokemon IMO.

In. Currently playing with my niece in Alexandria but I'll uber in and out. Also, the more lax west coast laws have spoiled me; I've forgotten that many Southern states - including VA - make purchasing alcohol more difficult.

This has nothing to do with MAGfest but this is something I experienced in reverse with my recent move. I'm so used to not being able to buy hard liquor in grocery stores, on Sundays, or past a certain time early in the evening so being able to basically just buy it whenever is crazy.

Rey also uses force lightning and ends up killing Palpatine 10 minutes after he explained that doing so would complete her journey to the Dark Side, so I am going to go with yes.

Striking him down in anger would complete her journey to the Dark Side. She does not, and instead simply defends herself and reflects his own attack back at him, pretty much a definition of the Jedi way and similar to how Mace beat him.

I mean he straight up senses Rey's death at the end, he's blatantly Force sensitive and it makes sense she'd be the one he'd want to tell because she has some experience with that, Poe doesn't.

My guess is that we will learn that Gideon is a Mandalorian traitor.

Nah he headed up the Mando purge we hear about. It's now he knows the Mando's name which was only stored on Mandalore and how he took the Darksaber from whoever had it at the time, presumably still Bo Katan.

And I think he's evoking Vader deliberately for the theatrics and intimidation factor.

Incorrect.

Sekiro's style of combat isn't even really comparable to Platinum's character action style combat. They're two very different genres.
