Revival: Pokémon Diamond / Pearl

BlueFire · 07-30-2008, 06:20 PM

So I picked up my DS and started playing Diamond again. Last year, I left off right before the last gym. Now, I'm facing the Elite Four with severely underleveled pokemon....
and yet, I was able to make it to the fourth guy in the elite four, taking out all of his pokemon, leaving only his damn Medicham (who is a pain in the ass, might I add).

So I need to train some more, but I don't have any clue as to where I should do that. Victory Road is obnoxious and the encounter rate there is terrible. I guess I should just keep fighting the Elite Four and taking all the experience I can. The only downside is that I lose a lot of money that way

Anyways, my current team is more than six, because I haven't been able to decide on an actual complete party, so it goes something like

Empoleon, lvl 50
Lucario, lvl 45
Alakazam, lvl 46
Luxray, lvl 46
Roserade, lvl 47
Mismagius, lvl 48
Dialga, lvl 47 (haven't used him once, haha)
Staraptor, lvl 45
Gastrodon, lvl 45.. although I don't think I want him in my party. His stats are seriously low and it's a pain in the ass to have him. The only plus of having him is his Water/Ground nature.

So there's the entire bunch I end up using. What do you guys think I should use in my final party again the Elite Four?

Also, I'm interested in battling/trading with whomever has the game (I seriously need a good fire type that's not a fucking Rapidash). Add me my friend code: 1332 5259 8752.

Let me know if you add me.

Hey, I'm right before the Elite Four, too. I paused right before my vacation and haven't gotten back into it yet. We're around the same levels - want to battle?

Sure! What's your friend code?

Dyne · 07-30-2008, 06:53 PM

I'll get it to you as soon as I get home. I'm still at work, lulz.

Drat! Hmm, hopefully I'll still be around. If not, we'll play later tonight.

BTW, Vampyr, I added you. Add me back

I haven't played in a while, but I'm intending to pick it back up this weekend. I'll add you then.

I guess it was only a matter of time before someone used that meme.

Dyne, let's battle in a bit. I'm about to get owned by the 4th member of the Elite Four.

Dyne · 07-30-2008, 10:21 PM

Ok, just say when.

Dyne · 07-30-2008, 10:32 PM

Ok, I've got an invitation up whenever you're ready.

EDIT: Never mind, I'm going to go work out.

BlueFire · 07-30-2008, 11:24 PM

Haha, sorry I took so long.. What ended up being a "training session" with the Elite Four ended up in me becoming the new pokemon champion with my pokemon.. The battle with Cynthia (the champion) was the absolute worst... Her Spiritomb and Milotic were nightmares.

But yes, I'm ready to play when you are. Let me know.

EDIT: The team I used to beat the Elite 4 and Cynthia:
Dialga (48)
Lucario (47)
Alakazam (46) <- I really wish I replaced him with Luxray. He was useless... Didn't use him once.
Roserade (48)
Staraptor (47)
Empoleon (52)

Hahaha, yeah, Alakazam started to suck with gold.

I can play right now if you want.

I'm actually going to head to sleep. Tomorrow, please!

Dyne · 07-31-2008, 01:14 AM

Ok, you bet. Maybe I'll try to beat the Elite Four right now.
