Multiple Questions

1. Is it worth the frustration trying to catch mewtwo with an ultra ball so as to save my master ball for Suicune?

2. The HM Fly is it worth teaching my main Pokemon? Like Dragonite, his attack is really high it could do alot of damage. i just hate having to take Aerodactyl out of my box to fly somewhere.

3. Is it possible to get the Macho Brace in Firered without trading it from Ruby/Saphhire/Emerald?

4. Is someone willing to teach me how to properly EV train pokemon? I already know about Pokerus and the Macho Brace but I would like a base up tutorial.

Thanks in advanced for the help ^^
 
Well, I can help you on two of those questions... Based on my own personal opinions and experience.

With your first question, save the Master Ball because it IS possible to catch Mewtwo with an Ultra Ball. It might take you longer, but, it'll take you MUCH longer trying to catch Suicune with an Ultra Ball, considering the fact that it's constantly fleeing and what not. Plus, it's not like you can save infront of Suicune and have multiple chances to catch it without hunting it down.

For your second question, I would teach my dragonite fly, only if I didn't have any intentions on putting any other move in its place. But, it really all depends on the moveset of your Dragonite.

Thanks, I caught Mewtwo with an ultra ball before but it took like 3 days and i have yet to even FIND a Suicune so i figured saving the Masterball for him was reasonable.
 
Yeah. Personally, I would save the Masterball... cause, Mewtwo really isn't too bad if you have the patience for it.

Anyway. If you post the quick moveset for your planned Dragonite, I could really help you further on that.

With Fly it would be something like this
Fly
Ice Beam (for any Dragons i might encounter)
Brick Break (for any ice pokemon i might encounter)
Hyper Beam or Toxic (ran out of ideas)

Without Fly
Areial Ace
Ice Beam
Brick Break
Hyper Beam or Toxic

I never give my Dragonite's the right moves, there is so much to choose from i always pick like the flashiest moves XD
 
Well, okay... Hm... Aerial Ace is good... more reliable than Fly and quicker obviously...

I wouldn't teach your Dragonite Toxic though... unless he learned some kind of move to compliment it, like, Wrap or something. Of course, these aren't the RBGY days... but... I still wouldn't teach it Toxic... Cause, with Hyper Beam and Ice Beam, your opponent wouldn't last long enough for Toxic to actually be of much use...

Infact, I would teach it...
Fly
Ice Beam
Brick Break
Swords Dance (If Dragonite can learn this)

So... I guess Fly would be a good choice to use, because, it does do much more physical damage...

Three days?? You must not have played that much in that time, since I caught all the legendaries in probably less than two hours. And yes, do save the masterball, it's just luck whether or not you catch mewtwo, so I suggest you save in front of him, and immediately start throwing balls. Oh, and I don't know about EV's/IV's, so I can't help you there, but I suggest teaching fly to your Charizard, since he doesn't seem to learm many good moves (but that's just my opinion).
 
EVs. Something I'm new at, but let me try my best to help you. You have natures for every Pokemon. Different natures make different stats grow faster. In other words, depending on your nature you get more EVs for different stats. Look on Serebii for a list of which natures increase which stats. Next, each Pokemon that you defeat gives you a set number of points that your Pokemon stores until it grows to a higher level. An easy explanation:
Defeat Geodude, Pokemon that beat it gains 1 EV Defense point. Every 4 EV points, you get a boost in that stat when you level up. This stat boost is one extra point for every 4 EVs, although you get the extra point at a random point in time when leveling up. So if you beat 4 Geodudes, you'll one day get one extra Defense point added to your stats. Every Pokemon gives different EVs, some even give 2 or 3. Again, check Serebii for which ones give boosts to which stats. Now, POKERUS and Macho Brace. POKERUS is a temporary status problem, lasting about a half hour. POKERUS doubles the EVs you get, so now Geodude gives you 2 Defense EVs. Nurse Joy will tell you if you have POKERUS. Macho Brace does the same thing, only this time as long as you hold the item, and not temporary. If you have POKERUS while holding a Macho Brace, now Geodude will give you 4 Defense EVs. That means an extra Defense point for every Geodude you beat! If you have any questions, PM or email me.
