Evolution:

I thought it was really weird that Drowzee can learn Headbutt twice! I don't think that its able to have two attacks called Headbutt at one time though.

BiWeekly Pokedex: Lucario

For this Pokedex I'm featuring my favorite Pokemon, Lucario.


Obtainable by evolution in:

• Diamond
• Pearl
• Platinum

Platinum Description: A well-trained one can sense auras to identify and take in the feelings of creatures over half a mile away.

Evolution:
Riolu evolves into Lucario via Happiness during the day.

General Info:

Abilities: Steadfast and Inner Focus
Height: 4'00"
Weight: 119.0 lbs


Pokemon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum LV Up Attacks:
1 - Dark Pulse
1 - Quick Attack
1 - Foresight
1 - Detect
1 - Metal Claw
6 - Counter
11 - Force Palm
15 - Feint
19 - Bone Rush
24 - Metal Sound
29 - Me First
33 - Swords Dance
37 - Aura Sphere
42 - Close Combat
47 - Dragon Pulse
51 - Extremespeed

I think this Pokemon is absolutely awesome. Fighting type couples with Steel type is an awesome combo. Its got a very high Special Attack, so when you teach it Aura Sphere, it will do some serious damage to whatever Pokemon you're facing.

Pokemon Gold, Silver and Crystal Elite Four: Will

I'm going a little off from what I normally do, but since I've got a friend in need I'm doing an Elite Four bio for Will, the first member of the Elite four in GSC. His specialty is Psychic type.

Will's Pokemon are as follows:

Xatu:
Lv. 40
Types: Flying and Psychic
Item: None
Attacks: Quick Attack, Future Sight, Psychic, Confuse Ray

Exeggutor:
Lv. 41
Types: Grass and Psychic
Item: None
Attacks: Reflect, Egg Bomb, Psychic, Leech Seed

Slowbro:
Lv. 41
Types: Water and Psychic
Item: None
Attacks: Amnesia, Curse, Psychic, Body Slam

Jynx:
Lv. 41
Types: Ice and Psychic
Item: None
Attacks: Ice Punch, Double Slap, Psychic, Lovely Kiss

Xatu:
Lv. 42
Types: Flying and Psychic
Item: None
Attacks: Quick Attack, Future Sight, Psychic, Confuse Ray


To fight this member of the Elite Four, I would suggest a strong Ghost type like a Haunter or Gengar, or Dark type, which by this point the only one you can get is Umbreon. Make sure that your Pokemon are at least lv. 45 before you enter the E4 fight!

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Key Item: VS Seeker

For the first time I'm writing about a Key Item. My friend who is also a Pokemaniac, has tons of ideas for this little website of mine, so I'm doing the VS Seeker.

You obtain this item on Route 207 after meeting either Dawn or Lucas. They ask you which hand you'd like to choose, either right or left, and whichever one you choose you will still end up with the VS Seeker. This little device will allow you to have a rematch with any other trainer in Pokemon Diamond, Pokemon Pearl and Pokemon Platinum that you have previously fought.

There are two types of rematch trainers. Type 1 is when you ask for a rematch and their party Pokemon stay the same. Type 2 is when you're fighting them again, their pokemon have leveled up and/or evolve. Here is an example.

Pokemon Breeder Albert: Route 209
Bonsly lv. 16
Budew lv. 15
Pichu lv. 17

Albert VS Seeker #1:
Sudowoodo lv. 27
Roselia lv. 29
Pikachu lv. 28

Albert VS Seeker #2:
Sudowoodo lv. 37
Roselia lv. 38
Pikachu lv. 36

Albert VS Seeker #3+:
Sudowoodo lv. 52
Roselia lv. 51
Raichu lv. 53

There you have it, the ins and outs of the VS Seeker. Have a great day!

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Gym Leader: Gardenia

In Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl Gardenia is the second Gym leader. Her main type of Pokemon is Grass. If you have Pokemon around level 18 you'll be good, especially if you have a fire, flying or bug type.
Gardenia's Pokemon are as follows:

Cherubi:
Lv. 19
Type: Fighting and Steel
Item: none
Attacks: Grass Know, Leech Seed, Safeguard, Leech Seed
Ability: Chlorophyll

Turtwig:
Lv. 19
Type: Grass
Item: none
Attacks: Razor Leaf, Grass Knot, Withdraw, Reflect
Ability: Overgrow

Roserade:
Lv. 22
Type: Grass and Poison
Item: Sitrus Berry
Attacks: Magical Leaf, Grass Knot, Stun Spore, Poison Sting
Ability: Natural Cure

If you use the Pokemon mentioned above, it will be even easier than it normally is without them. Start with Chimchar and the battle will be over very quickly.

Pokemon Item: Pokeball

The random subject for today is the Pokeball. I'll just tell you a bit about them like catch rate and cost. So here you go!

Pokeball: 1x rate - 200 Pokemunny

That's all of them! If you want more info, tell me and I'll get you squared away. I've also got a story to tell you.
My friend Marcus had a Base Set Charizard card and gave it away to a kid that was Autistic, now he wishes he didn't so he could sell it and live off the proceeds.

Weekly Pokedex: Drifloon

For this one I've decided to do my first fourth generation (which is the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl generation) entry. I present to you, Drifloon.

Catchable In:

• Diamond
• Pearl
• Platinum

If there is a certain Pokemon that you would like to see here that I haven't already done, please leave a comment and say which one you'd like me to feature.

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Elite Four: Aaron

Aaron is the first of the Elite Four that you need to fight in Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl. His specialty is bug-types and he has one Pokemon that is not a bug type.

Aaron's Pokemon are as follows:

Dustox:
Lv. 54
Types: Bug and Poison
Item: Sitrus Berry
Attacks: Bug Buzz, Toxic, Light Screen, Double Team
Ability: Shield Dust

Beautifly:
Lv. 53
Types: Bug and Flying
Item: None
Attacks: Bug Buzz, Psychic, Energy Ball, Shadow Ball
Ability: Swarm

Heracross:
Lv. 54
Types: Bug and Fighting
Item: None
Attacks: Megahorn, Close Combat, Stone Edge, Night Slash
Ability: Swarm

Vespiquen:
Lv. 54
Types: Bug and Flying
Item: None
Attacks: Attack Order, Defend Order, Heal Order, Power Gem
Ability: Pressure

Drapion:
Lv. 57
Types: Dark and Poison
Item: Sitrus Berry
Attacks: Cross Poison, X-Scissor, Aerial Ace, Ice Fang
Ability: Battle Armor

To defeat this member of the Elite Four having a level 55+ fire Pokemon would be a good idea to have. With your fire type you should be able to beat the first four Pokemon pretty easily, and four Drapion, you should get a similarly leveled fighting type. I would recommend Lucario because it has a steel type too, and Drapion's Cross Poison attack will be made ineffective and the other moves will only do half as much damage.

Overview of Pokemon Crystal

It's been a while, but here's my coverage on Pokemon Crystal.

Stats: This game came out in the second generation, being the third game after Gold and Silver. It came out on July 29, 2001 in the US and sold 1.65 million copies. It is the first game you are able to choose between playing as a boy or a girl.

Version Exclusives: Crystal Version does not have Vulpix, Ninetales, Mankey, Primeape, Mareep, Flaafy, Ampharos, Girafirig, Remoraid and Octillery and needs to be traded be traded over from Gold and Silver versions.

Storyline:
You walk down from your room and your mom stops you from walking out the door and gives you your Pokegear, your radio, map, phone and watch. She then tells you about how Professor Elm is looking for you. You walk over to his lab and he gives you your starter, Cyndaquil, Totodile or Chikorita. Elm sends you over to Mr. Pokemon's house to get a breakthrough discovery.

You make your way through Cherrygrove and go to Mr. Pokemon's and you meet him inside and he gives you a pokemon egg and then Professor Oak notices you and gives you the latest version of Pokedex.

When you leave Mr. Pokemon's house you recieve a call from Professor Elm saying that one of his precious pokemon was stolen. So on your way back to help the Professor, you come across a young man with long red hair and one of the starter pokemon. You fight him and afterward he tells you his name, which you later tell to a police man investigating the theft. Elm tells you what happened and then you give him the egg and he is ecstatic from this news. He then suggests that you go take the gym challenge and become stronger.

From there you catch and train many pokemon and fight tons of trainers to become stronger and ultimately beat the elite four and champion. Also along the way Team Rocket is trying to do more evil deeds and you need to stop them.

That's it for now. I can't write any more. Have a great week

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Gym Leader: Maylene

In Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl Maylene is the third Gym leader. Her main type of Pokemon is Fighting. I think that if you train your Pokemon to lv. 25-30 you will be alright while facing against her.
Maylene's Pokemon are as follows:

Lucario:
Lv. 30
Type: Fighting and Steel
Item: Sitrus Berry
Attacks: Drain Punch, Force Palm, Metal Claw, Bone Rush
Ability: Steadfast

Machoke:
Lv. 27
Type: Fighting
Item: None
Attacks: Brick Break, Leer, Foresight, Rock Tomb
Ability: Guts

Meditite:
Lv. 27
Type: Fighting and Psychic
Item: None
Attacks: Confusion, Meditate, Detect, Drain Punch
Ability: Pure Power

Pokemon types that would be beneficial to your fight are Flying and Fire types. Psychic would be all right for Machoke, but not Lucario or Meditite.

Pokemon Battle

Something that is in every single Pokemon Game is the Pokemon Battle. This has been the main focus of all the Pokemon games. I'm going to just tell you about the basics of this function of the games.

Before a Pokemon battle starts, the Pokemon at the top of your list in RBY and GSC, or the top left of your list in FRLG, RSE, and DPPt, is the one that will be sent out automatically. After this you get the choice of four Menu Items:

• Fight
• Pokemon
• Bag
• Run

Fight: When you choose this option it shows the list of attacks that your current Pokemon knows, they will have up to four.

Pokemon: This option allows you to switch out for other Pokemon in your party and view any stats or attacks they might have.

Bag: Your bag is full of handy items you can use during your Pokemon Battle. They range from Potions, to restore HP, to X(stat)s which help boost your Pokemon's certain stat for the duration of the battle.

Run: You can't use this option when your in a Trainer Battle, but when it's against a wild Pokemon, you can discontinue the fight.

The main purpose of a Pokemon battle is to try to knock out the other Pokemon, or make them faint. You do this by using damage-inflicting attacks that your Pokemon may have. The stronger the Pokemon the more damage it will do, but if the other Pokemon is also stronger, the less damage it will do.
You can also use stat-changing moves. These can change a Pokemon's speed, lower their attack, or even heighten their defense. It all depends on the specific move.
The last kind of move is the status inflicting move. These are some of the best because they can burn, poison, paralyze, freeze, confuse and cause the other Pokemon to sleep.

Those are all the very basics of the Pokemon Battle. I hope you've enjoyed this.

Overview of Pokemon Red

Something I'd like to do here is tell about a specific game in the Pokemon Series. Today I'm focusing on Pokemon Red Version.

Stats:
This was one of the two games that debuted in the US in 1996. Ever since then it has made an imprint in peoples' hearts both young and old. In its first month since it's release it sold 265,000 copies with Pokemon Blue Version. It also featured the original 151 pokemon.

Version Exclusives:
Ekans, Arbok, Oddish, Gloom, Vileplume, Mankey, Primeape, Growlithe, Arcanine, Scyther and Electabuzz. Ones could only find these in Pokemon Red and had to be traded over to Pokemon Blue.

Storyline:
You start out as a ten-year-old kid going on a Pokemon Journey. On your way to start out, Professor Oak stops you and takes you to his Laboratory to get you started. You're able to choose from Charmander, Squirtle, or Bulbasaur as your starter Pokemon. Your rival also chooses one of these three and a battle ensues.

After a short while you are delivering a parcel from a local Poke Mart to Professor Oak. Once you give the parcel over to him he asks you and your rival to achieve his dream for him: to complete the pokedex, an electronic encyclopedia on Pokemon.

Not too long after you start out, you come across Team Rocket, and have to stop them from accomplishing their evil schemes! There are plenty of their Team Members around, trying to stop you from stopping them.

From there on out you are on your own, catching and training Pokemon, battling gym leaders to eventually get the chance to fight, and hopefully deafeat the Elite Four, the toughtest trainers around.

That's it for our Pokemon Red coverage!
