Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 Thread

[PsychoIncarnate]

I ran into a tynamo, but I didn't know if it was a trainer battle or a wild pokemon because I wasn't paying attention where I was going.

To test it, I threw a pokeball, because they are useless as far as I'm concerned.

Caught it in 1 hit. Only shook once.

I think it was a "Critical Capture"

Catch rate for those is 190, btw. A.k.a. 24.8% catch when a pokeball is thrown at full health. Not sure about the shakes though.

 

[MewtwoMaster2002]

One shake is a critical capture and has a higher chance of succeeding since the game does not go through as many checks during it. So yes, I believe you just had a critical capture.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Critical captures don't guarantee that you'll catch the Pokemon though. I got a critical capture on a Volcarona, and it still broke free.

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

Take critical EVERYTHING out of the game fml

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Starting now, and ending at 2/12, you can get Keldeo as a Mystery Gift. If anyone missed the last Keldeo event, this one will make up for it.

 

[Mr. Johan]

I'm going to start cracking down on filling the Pokedex completely, except the for Event Legends that I was not able to get.

Since I want to start Heartgold all over, sending all the Pokemon there through Poke Transfer was the best step to start with. Got an additional 80 Pokemon added to the National Dex, and I'm still not complete with the Transferring yet. I think I have an additional 20 to send over.

With them sent over, I will just have the starters, Groudon, Rayquaza, Regice, Registeel, and, hilariously, the Ledyba line to get from the first three generations. The ladybug always seems to elude me somehow.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Ledian is available in the wild if you're playing the White 2 version, but you'd need a swarm to take place at Route 22. If you own Black 2, however, then you'd be getting wild Ariados from the swarm instead.

 

[Mr. Johan]

I always got the first game in a pack, and Black 2 was no exception. I do not have White 2.

Makes it a hassle to get Ledyba by abiding by that system of mine, lol.

There's the Pokemon Dream World that you can look up to if you need a Ledyba.

Anyway, because I have White 2, I'm able to catch a Ledian in the wild, but I need to resort to the Dream World to get a Spinarak.

One of Regice/Registeel is obtainable in Black 2, not sure which one of the two though.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Registeel is catchable in Black 2 while Regice is catchable in White 2. But you can use the Unova Link to swap the keys around between versions, so in theory you can capture both of them in a single version.

 

[Mr. Johan]

However, I did not have someone nearby with White 2 that I could immediately exchange keys with. A friend of mine told me earlier today that he had just beaten the game in White 2 and was now exploring the post game, but by then I had already cruised through Ruby and got the two remaining golems, plus Groudon, and Bagon so I didn't have to bank on a lucky Hidden Grotto find.


As long as Regigigas can be captured with golems from any of the games, and a golem can be from a different game from the other two like Black 2 Regirock, it should work out.

 

[UltiMario]

I'm fairly sure if you link even after you both have gotten your golems, you'll get the other key and be able to obtain the other Golem, so you'll have all 3 from your game.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Well, I've finally managed to get a female Poliwag who has Swift Swim at the Dream World, and this basically resulted in me being able to get a Swift Swim Poliwrath, and a Drizzle Politoed.

Drizzle really does come in handy for any Swift Swim team, though Cloud Nine and the other weather conditions can potentially mess it up without any Rain Dance users.

 

[UltiMario]

Cloud Nine only disables weather for as long as the ability user is out. It goes back to normal after they get off the field.

You only have to worry about other weather.

 

[Mr. Johan]

Turns out Ledian can be obtained in the Dreamyard in Black, and I just plain forgot about that. But now I realize I'm missing out on Teddiursa, unless I get lucky and Yancy will trade one on some random day.

But aside from that, I just need to trade the starters over, as well as the Pikachu line, and I'll have the first 386 done, or capable of being done, aside from Event Legends. For now I have 341 Pokemon down as Caught, just a little over half.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Cloud Nine only disables weather for as long as the ability user is out. It goes back to normal after they get off the field.

You only have to worry about other weather.

True, and in the Battle Subway, CPU players never use Golduck, so Cloud Nine never appears at all there; none of the opponent Pokemon have their Dream World abilities.

I'm just merely pointing out that when the Drizzle + Swift Swim combo is being used in a battle that consists of ubers (which is also the only place where such combinations are permitted in a competitive environment), if Rayquaza ever pops up, your Swift Swim users are going to have some trouble if a Rayquaza counter isn't set up; Air Lock will remove all weather effects while Rayquaza is on the field.

 

[OkamiBW]

Tyranitar + Hippowdon + Abomasnow.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Tyranitar + Hippowdon + Abomasnow.

Those Pokemon are slower than Politoed, so they can be a problem. Fortunately, Politoed is slower than Ninetales, so Drought will be overruled by Drizzle there.

 

[OkamiBW]

Oh, I was assuming you were talking about Battle Subway where you won't see Drought Ninetales.

 

[IceArrow]

Drizzle and Kingdra are overpowered in game.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Drizzle and Kingdra are overpowered in game.

It's too bad that Golduck doesn't get that same treatment, since it does have the exact same special attack and speed stats as Kingdra, and it too can get Swift Swim, but as its Dream World ability.

But I guess since Golduck is a pure Water-type, and is more fragile than Kingdra, it's more vulnerable to being KO'd. Of course, Calm Mind can help Golduck survive more neutral damage special attacks than what Kingdra can normally handle.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Sorry for the bump, but I do have a bit of a problem.

You know that Sableye can get the Prankster ability, right? Unfortunately, because I'm playing as a male trainer, I can't get a Sableye with that ability in my White Version 2. To make matters worse, because I'm playing White Version 2, Sableye is out of my reach at the Dream World (only the players who Game Sync with the Black or White versions can get it there).

Therefore, I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to offer up a female Sableye with the Prankster ability to me. PM me if you're interested in helping me out.

Yo Finally Got and Beat Black 2

So I can finally post here without fear of spoilers! Sweet!~



So... Introductions aside~

Someone should totally trade me. I'll be doing a lot of breeding for IV's Nature, and Egg Moves.
So I'll usually have something to offer in return.

Pokemon Currently Searching For:

All Starters bar Emboar, Braviary or Rufflet

Current Egg Move Pokemon:

Brave Bird Zubat - Jolly

Perfect Stat Pokemon

Zangoose - Jolly
Perfect Stats: Attack/Speed

Rotom - Modest
Perfect Stats: Sp.A/Speed

Pignite - Adamant
Perfect Stats: Attack/Speed

Upcomming:

Head Smash Aggron - Adamant
Perfect Stats: Attack/HP



I'm going to end up with a lot of pokemon like these that I don't need as I continue breeding (Since I breed for 3 or 4 perfect stats) If any of you want one, just ask. You can give me anything. Lvl 2 Patrat,. Lvl 1. Trubbish, an Egg...

Gotta clear out space, haha.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

To all Black, White, Black 2, and White 2 owners, an upcoming Wi-Fi event will offer you an opportunity to get Deoxys. You can find out more about the event at the Pokemon website.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

What is a good level to fight the Elite 4 for the first time?

Im trying to get a team of level 70, but it's taking time

 

[JOE!]

Uhm, I think I did mine with a range of level 45-48ish

 

[Vixen]

anyone playing blaze black 2/volt white 2?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

anyone playing blaze black 2/volt white 2?

Shouldn't it be Volt Black and Blaze White?

Ya know, cause the black pokemon is electric and the white pokemon is fire

Regardless of alliteration for the first one

Well, except the black Pokemon is in White and vice versa.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

It makes sense for the first game, but in black and white 2 it does have the pokemon matching the color of the game

Oh. Well, way to go Nintendo, making everything five times more confusing.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Well, they figured everyone playing white would get white 2 (and black would get black 2), so they would have reshiram AND zekrom by just buying those 2 games.

 

[JOE!]

whats this with volt white, blaze black or whatever?

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

They're ROM hacks.

Anyway, the Deoxys event is in effect, and it has two moves that it can't normally learn; Dark Pulse and Nasty Plot.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I got mine, I decided to get a Naive one

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

My Deoxys is Timid, and I have it in its Speed Forme, as that forme can utilize Nasty Plot better than the Normal and Attack Formes; the Speed Forme has average defenses. And of course, the Speed Forme hits harder than the Defense Forme, and strikes faster as well.

 

[JOE!]

What I mean is: what's different?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I decided it does make more sense to have a speed form with nasty plot so I got one intended to be a speed form on my black 2.

Good thing I got both versions. Now I can make an awesome attack and speed form
