I haz question!

Are there any Pokemon players on my flist who would be willing to trade me something - anything, really - holding a spare Leftovers?

I'm still beating my head against the Pokemon League, and one of my Pokemon is just really going to need some Leftovers. My only option for getting one right now is honey trees, though, and that's not working too well.

My friendcode is 4339 0087 7918. If you've got a Leftovers to spare, even just to loan, you will have my UNDYING GRATITUDE. ;_;

Edit: ettezag is awesome~

I can't really connect to the internet with my DS, but you shouldn't have to depend on a hold item to be beating the Elite Four... What's your team made up of?

[fuyu]

Luxray, Staraptor, Rapidash, Gastrodon, Alakazam, and Lucario.

It's not so much that I'll be depending on that specific item to beat them, it's that my Rapidash is made of glass and it'll be really inconvenient if he faints.

[ettezag.livejournal.com]

Oh. What level are your dudes at? I had the funny feeling it might be a Rapidash you needed it for, and I'm not sure why. Well you shouldn't be putting it up against anything it won't OHKO anyway. Just buying a few Revives and potions is probably better?

Haha well I'll see about futzing with my router if you need it though. My friend code is 3566 0489 3035.

[fuyu]

They're all level 50, except my Luxray who's 51.

The problem with my Rapidash is that he has the heavy task of being my Sunny Day/Solarbeamer, since he was about the only one I could stick a grass move on. XD So he has to at least live for two turns. I DO have Enigma Berries I could give him, but a constant heal would be better.

*adds!*

Lemme go plug in the ol' wifi adaptor and we'll see if this works XD

[ettezag.livejournal.com]

alakazam can learn grass knot, actually. it'd be good for really heavy water type pokemon... but a trade is a trade. you can actually keep it, now that I think about it, I don't even need it anymore.

[fuyu]

... that's true, and I admit I'm really considering it. It'd be fantastic for Bertha. I'm just not sure what to give up in his Psychic/Reflect/Calm Mind/Recover moveset.

Oh, really? :O Thank you so much!

I'm ready, lemme know when/if you can wrangle your DS online.

[ettezag.livejournal.com]

Recover would be my choice, Alakazam isn't exactly made for taking hits and Recover doesn't do what an item won't. Bertha's a pushover, I meant Cynthia's monster Milotic :P

my internet is a real dick about things, it might take a little time D:

[fuyu]

These are all true points, but... Recover, man D: Especially with the turns that either Reflect or Calm Mind would take to set up. I guess I could try it, though, it's not like I can't go hit up the move relearner or anything. ... Bertha's a pushover? ffffuck I'm doomed XD

No problem! I'm cool with waiting.

[ettezag.livejournal.com]

Haha I don't want to ruin your experience or anything, but you really are going to need an ice-type move in there somewhere too.. Just saying :P

Ugh, still working on it DX I have to configure shit on my desktop computer, which is pretty much the biggest piece of TRASH in existence. If you want to know what I've been doing all this time, I've been opening up the security center to turn off Firewall, then opening up a Firefox window. Yes. URGHFEDUSFUSDYF

[fuyu]

wrryyyyyy XD

...aauuuuurgh. DX Good luck making that cooperate. No hurry, though, I've still got more levelin' before I'm gonna feel okay fighting the E4.

[ettezag.livejournal.com]

OK I AM FINALLY FUCKING READY OMG I HATE MY COMPUTER I'll be on in just a second DX

... if you're still there, that is DX I mean, it has been almost two hours.... sorry :( orz

[fuyu]

asdfja I got wrapped up in a book and forgot to check for notifications. D: Damn. Tomorrow, possibly? Unless by wild chance you're still there too.

[ettezag.livejournal.com]

Ahaha I went back to reconfigure since I thought you went beddy-bye XD I can change it back though. Are you, too, here? XD

[yui-hime.livejournal.com]

Haha I don't want to ruin your experience or anything, but you really are going to need an ice-type move in there somewhere too.. Just saying :P

What for, Garchomp? I took him down just fine with a high-level Golem using Earthquake.

[ettezag.livejournal.com]

Well I'm not too sure but it looks like Garchomp has a good chance of whumping everything on voodoobob's team, I think. Not looking close enough :(

[fuyu]

Well, my Gastrodon's got Earthquake. And she's fairly sturdy. :O And it's a heavy bastard, Alakazam might be able to put some hurt on it with Grass Knot. I don't know its moveset, though...

[yui-hime.livejournal.com]

There's your problem. I didn't get past Bertha (sdfajkldsajl WHISCASH W/ FISSURE I'M LOOKING AT YOU) until everybody on my team was L 60 or higher (team was Luxray, Staraptor, Darkrai, Roserade, Rapidash, and Golem).

[fuyu]

dhgkshdgk LEVELIIIING. *shakefist* I hate leveling in Pokemon, I truly do.

(Hahaha, it seems like everyone has a Luxray. XD no doubt because they're awesome.)

[yui-hime.livejournal.com]

If you catch a buttload of Chansey, one of the rarer items they have is a Lucky Egg, which increases EXP gain (it stacks with the EXP bonus from having secondhand pokes!). I got a friend to trade with me so I could get one because I didn't have the patience to catch a bunch of Chansey, and also so I could evolve my Graveler. If you want, maybe I could find a WiFi spot and pass mine on to you at some point?

Luxray ARE awesome, not gonna lie. Mine one-hitted Cynthia's Milotic o' doom that ettezag was talking about up there. Adamant nature + Rivalry = huge boost to Thunder Fang, provided the opponent is the same sex as the attacking Luxray (I know Intimidate is more reliable, but it doesn't help to reduce the attack of a defense-specialist poke!).

[fuyu]

Oooh! That would be great, I was trying that earlier but had the same problem (5% chance of even finding a Chansey, 5% chance of that Chansey holding a Lucky Egg, whut?) so I'd super appreciate that. I've been using my Exp. Share as a poor man's Lucky Egg, but that obviously makes it impossible to... y'know... share. XD

Muhahaha. <3 What sex is her Milotic? Because my Shinobi is a Serious female with Rivalry~

[yui-hime.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure the Milotic is female because my Larxene is female. I believe it also has Pressure as its ability (though I think Pressure is standard for Milotics).

Let me ask around and see if I can get the campus WEP code so I can use their WiFi for Pokemon Pearl. Any specific poke you want with your Egg?

[fuyu]

Sweeet. Shinobi's gonna kick its ass. (Larxene wtf best name for a Luxray ever XD) Though, doesn't Cynthia's Milotic have Marvel Scale?

Yay! Nah, anything's fine, fodder or whatever. The pokemon I'm missing from my dex are all either the lake trio or higher evolutions that I'm going to see fighting the E4, so uh. XD

[yui-hime.livejournal.com]

Ah, nope. Campus wireless apparently configures differently from Nintendo. I'll see if the instructions to change my security setting will work, but I don't think so. And my comp's in the shop, so I can't try to communicate with you from Stackerz Deli...

ETA: It's pretty much tradition for me to catch the first female Electric-type I come across and name it Larxene. I just happened to run across a Shinx first.

[fuyu]

Aw, dang. Don't worry about it, just lemme know if you can rig up a way for it to work. ♥

An awesome tradition.

[ettezag.livejournal.com]

Mrehhhhh I'll stop being a dick and just lend it to you anyway :D
