You're welcome. Personally, I can't see the point of clearing FRLG that many times though, even assuming that you have access to only one Master Ball and are aiming to SR for good legendaries, there's only, well, 3 dogs, 3 birds and Mewtwo (And them dogs are just SPECTACULAR when it comes to encountering them the first time). Unless you were one of the unlucky souls who got carried away with the Move Tutors when FRLG just came out, Sub & SD being one-time only, among others. Then Emerald was released...
Or are you one of those who go for speed runs? (Speed runs for Pokemon,
) FRLG's pace is somewhat slow too, text speed and battle speed are ugh.
Ah anyway, my Emerald's up and running in terms of breeding potential again. Double flawless (HP + Attack) Adamant Rock Head Relicanth, Head Smash/Waterfall/Double-Edge/Earthquake, designed for CB set, makes a splendid unorthodox Gyara counter, anyone interested? I might try for triple flawless, mind you, but for now...
yeah, i feel attracted with pasing it over and over and over and over again... 2p here is very easy, ALL mewtwos have crunch/pyshic/ice beam/thunderbolt and ALL blastoises have ice beam/surf/earthquake/hidro pump IN THAT SAME ORDER... its true...

As someone who played through the agonizing pile of crud that is Pokemon Ranger, I already own a Manaphy, so...
Or is there news on bonus moves/hold items?
It's in a Cherish Ball, and has a Red Scarf attached. Given I haven't played through Diamond yet (I just made it to... erm... I just got to the city that's after the Cycling Road?), all I know is that the Cherish Ball apparently isn't available without cheating?
I'm pretty sure it's not a big deal for you and others who got it through Ranger, but I'm not up-to-date with this generation (I only finished up Sapphire a couple of months ago, and would have held off on getting Diamond until later if not for this event, since I don't want to dish out thirty bucks for Ranger).
Hmm... Nothing of battle value then. Just as well since it's not accessible to me anyway (US only, I presume?). The Manaphy I own now has crappy IVs though, and playing through Ranger all over again... Ugh.
And technically I just finished Emerald a couple of weeks ago and Pearl last week as well, heh, what with that brat restarting my games and all. I just play obsessively. =3
US-only, of course. And I thought I heard you could only use each Ranger cart once? Or had I heard that wrong?

Bit ambiguously worded. Ugh. I've played up till Mission 7 in a new game too.
Poor Manaphy got the uber treatment.
On the subject of near-uber legendaries, CM Cresselia is amazing. It's destroyed so many teams on Shoddy. Even a Blissey can't really stop it, +6 Psychic 2KOs. Unless they're packing Twave (and can Softboiled off the damage before you hit them again), in which case you just wait for a SDef down or CH.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Tail Glow/Rest/Surf/Energy Ball partnered with anything@Wet Rock Rain Dance/-/-/- gets farcical pretty quickly. First time I faced it on WiFi, I only pulled through by switching in Tar on a rest turn. Between then and the Smogon verdict I've been carrying Empoleon purely to guard against nonsense like that.

...you're kidding me, right? The only reason this even hurts teams is because people simply assume the wall and let it get in a couple of CMs while they realize their mistake. CBers send Cresselia packing faster than you can say "Tauros".

Heh. My comment was a joke, but the thing is a pain. Unfortunately, it'll probably never be used in Ubers either (drizzle team maybe?)

o_o No, I'm serious... And CBers are strangely absent on Shoddy. I've seen no Tauros, Chomp gets OHKO'd by IB (ditto for *insert 4x weak dragon here*), most Weavile are of the SD variety (go Mach Punch Breloom!), almost all Heracross are scarved (Believe it or not, Cress can survive a scarf Megahorn and OHKO with Psychic, and if is is CB'd, it becomes set up bait as it's forced to switch out after being locked into Megahorn), Metagross gets owned by a 4X resistant Heatran... And anything else is handled by a switch to an appropriate counter. And most people do let it get a couple CM's before they realize their mistake
Oh, funny anecdote. My Starmie (default Gyarados switch-in) got owned by someone who put Bite on his Gyarados. Yes, Bite. That was one of those 'O_o' moments.
