How do you people cope with the constant time wasted going back to pokemon center for healing after every few battles?


they made it better this time or i also have amnesia

i'm talking about the random nurses/docters that seem to be halfway between the pokecenter's.  or else in random houses sometimes you find someone who heals.  WHICH is much faster than pokecenter.  sucks ahving to wait for the 6 pokeballs to be set down, and listen to nurse joy talk.

I got confused a few days ago when I used a Munna in battle against a Timburr. My Munna used Psywave but didnt do super-effective damage. Anyone know whats up here?

Psywave deals random damage that doesn't get a boost from being super effective. Kinda like how Night Shade or Seismic toss, those moves deal fixed damage (equal to the user's level), that isn't affected by type advantage/disadvantage.

Here's the damage formula: (X 5) × (User's level / 10) With X being a variable between 0,5 and 1,5

I have a sinking feeling that my Sandile will be no match for either of Elesa's Emolga. And what the hell is up with the static ability? How broken is that?

These fricking gym leaders with their broken, weakness-avoiding pokemon.

Just make sure they don't Volt Switch you to oblivion. If you're unlucky they can Volt Switch to Zebstrika and that's a really pain because he also uses Flame Charge. Though with Sandile that shouldn't be much of an issue given it's immunity to Volt Switch.

Just wait until you get to the 6th gym and their Roost and Detect spamming

I'm afraid of Aerial Ace, rather. Sandile doesn't have good def, and at this stage, not good speed either. Then the fact that touching them means paralysis :/

Well, if you get overwhelmed with the Emolgas, you can always catch and train a Roggenrola. Trust me, Boldore/Gigalith (if you manage to trade evolve it) make short work out of them.

Reminds me of Blue when I caught a Geodude, taught it Dig and trained it up until it evolved before I fought LT.Surge. He was sluaghtered and that Geodude stayed in my team for the rest of the game. Also the reason why I have a Roggenrola in my squad now.

Speaking of my Roggenrola, it and my Timburr are only a few levels off evolving and I dont know anyone with the new games who I can ask to trade. Is there anybody willing to do me a favour and trade with me so I can evolve them?

Should I get the Cover Fossil or the Plume Fossil.  Tirtouga or Archen?

Archen definitely. Archeops is one of the best pokemon in the game.

You can use the Friend Codes that are located on the Pal Pad to go to the union room and trade/battle between the people that you've got on your friends list.
