Blazing Charmander
Well-Known Member
I have been playing Diamond a lot over the last few weeks; catching various swarm Pokemon, migrating the Kanto and Hoenn starters from my Gen 3 games and trying my luck at chaining with the Pokeradar.
Chaining has been frustrating as I seem to have lost my touch and can't for the life of me reach anywhere near the magic 40 mark. My targets so far have been Oddish on Route 226, Starly on Route 201 and Chansey just east of Hearthome City (which also helped a great deal in training my Kricketune holding a Lucky Egg at the same time; just too bad that I walked out of the radar's range and broke the chain - d'oh!) - so yeah, both rare and common Pokemon have failed to yield results for me thus far.
In the meantime, I have also been training a Glaceon as I lack decent Ice type coverage in my rotational team and that typing in particular would obviously come in handy for taking on the Elite 4 again. That said, I am playing with the idea of using the more Physical-oriented Mamoswine or Weavile instead, since either of the two can utilise priority Ice Shard to much greater effect. The wait for a Swinub swarm is quite agonising.
