Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Recent Happenings Thread

I evolved Vigoroth, Corphish, Krabby, Marill, Tangela, Magikarp, and Surskit, as I continue on my quest to evolve all of my Pokemon. The excitement of a Pokemon evolution never gets old.

I played a bit of Omega Ruby again and I resume the hunt of finding a competitive Swablu. Today, I only caught one and it had 31 IVs in HP, Attack and Speed and 0 IVs in Special Defense, so it's definitely a reject, via the IV Judge in the Battle Resort Pokémon Center. And I saved right in there, hoping soon to find a 6IV Swablu and to get that Bidoof soon.

Today, I started by going on a real-life adventure. There is a Hoopa Event going on in my country, and I wanted to take advantage of it while I still can. I went to a city which had a store where the event was running and downloaded Hoopa. I got one for X, Y and Omega Ruby, so I have three in total. Couldn't be bothered to reset for IVs/Nature since I won't be using them in battle anyway, I just kept the first ones I got. This added one more Pokemon to my Pokedex in Omega Ruby, but I am still waiting with completing the rest of it. I also got one more to my Pokedex in X & Y, only missing two now, which are Diance and Volcanion. Both of which I will get eventually. Volcanion isn't even released yet, expecting an event for it as well once it has been released.

Here in Omega Ruby, I continued by going to a Poke Mart. Spoke to the extra clerk there and got the Prison Bottle from him. I used it to change the form of my Hoopa. After seeing them both in the actual game, I think the Confined form looks better than the Unbound one. Then, I have also continued planning my team and I am now done with all the details for them except for nicknames, which I will decide as I breed the team members. I banked over some Pokemon from X that I needed for the breeding, so I am now ready to get started on it. I need to breed five Pokemon as there is one I already have, I used it on my Super Doubles team and decided to use it again on this team as well. Tomorrow, I will start on the breeding.

I have also decided that I will start planning my team for Super Rotations now so I have it done once I am done with Super Triples. This way, I can avoid wasting time on planning things I should already have planned. But I will take it slowly with planning it since I have no reason to rush anything regarding it and it will take a while before I get around to using said team anyway.

I played more Omega Ruby and I continued my hunt for a wild competitive Swablu. Using my Jolly Synchronizer Kirlia (she evolved from Ralts), I found and caught 3 3IV Swablus but still no luck yet. About two of them are Jolly Nature and once I couldn't find Swablu anymore (temporarily) using the DexNav, I saved at Route 114.

I just got Alpha Sapphire and recently I just named my boy, Jr. I chosen Treecko as my partner after I helped the professor out with a wild Poochyena. Then I went to route 101 to battle a bunch of Wurmple. Headed into Oldale Town and went to get that tour out of the way. Then went to the Pokemon center to heal Treecko. Now I went into route 103 to battle a few Wingull's. My Treecko is at level 9.

Today:

- After winning the Mind badge from Liza and Tate, I left Mossdeep city's gym and saw a commotion outside and then Steven Stone led me to his home and he gave me the Dive Hm and scuba gear.
- I left Mossdeep city after exchanging pokemon and I visited some dive spots around Route 126 and then after catching a Lanturn and Relicanth I surfed to Route 127 and dove underwater.
- I swam along a trench and fought trainers underwater and on the isles as well and then I resurfaced in the Seafloor cavern and saw Team aqua's stolen submarine and fought some grunts. ^^

I further continued my wild competitive Swablu hunt today. I caught like 2 Swablus this time and one had 4 perfect IVs with the Jolly Nature, but 0 IVs in HP. The other Swablu wasn't as great but still, it's seemingly possible for me to find a 6IV Jolly one or a 5IV Jolly one missing in Special Attack. And saved in the Battle Resort Pokémon Center.

Today:

- I resumed fighting against stray Team aqua grunts at the Seafloor cavern's deepest caves and I surfed as well and had to shove some boulders around via Strength as well.
- I soon reached a place where Archie was planning to awoken Kyogre and Shelly and Maxie were there as well. Once Kyogre was summoned, it escaped which ruined Archie's plan.
- We learned about the heavy rainfall in Hoenn and I saw Steven again at the surface. I surfed north through the rain next and visited Shoal cave and picked Shoal shells and stuff. ^^;

Last night, I was playing Omega Ruby. There, I received a Bidoof on the GTS. Afterwards, I went to Route 104 and first found a Zigzagoon in the tall grass and ran but later using the DexNav, I found a wild Taillow and caught it. I deposited it into the GTS for a Starly. With the Bidoof in my party, I went into Route 102 tall grass and levelled it up by one level and it evolved into Bibarel. I went back to Oldale Town and saved in the Pokémon Center.

Today, I headed back to Meteor Falls. I wandered through the cave for a while until arriving in the room where Bagon can be found. After a few wild encounters, I found a female Bagon and caught it in a Repeat Ball. Once that was done, I used an Escape Rope and then flew back to the Battle Resort. I went to the Day Care and deposited that Bagon with my Dragonite. Then, I started collecting and hatching Bagon eggs. After a little while, I hatched a Bagon with all the perfect IVs I wanted.

Next, I worked on EV training the Bagon I hatched. When I finished, I flew to Slateport to get an Effort Ribbon for it. I then used Pokemon Amie for a while in order to boost Bagon's Affection. Next time, I'll work on levelling Bagon up and evolving it.

I did a couple of extra competitive Swablu hunting in my Omega Ruby. There, I caught three Swablu with 3 perfect IVs and they had Jolly, Hasty and Timid Natures respectively. Still, a competitive one didn't spawn, so I saved in the Battle Resort Pokémon Center.

Did some more work on my Hoenn dex over the weekend, mostly evolution through either leveling by battling Secret Base trainers or stones

Wurmple -> Cascoon -> Dustox
Silcoon -> Beautifly
Ralts -> Kirlia -> Gardevoir
Abra -> Kadabra
Nincada -> Ninjask + Shedinja
Magikarp -> Gyarados
Aron -> Lairon -> Aggron
Machop -> Machoke
Gloom -> Bellossom
Roselia -> Roserade
Carvanha -> Sharpedo
Wailmer -> Wailord
Tranpinch -> Vibrava -> Flygon
Vulpix -> Ninetales

Reckon that was the most productive batch of dex work I've ever done actually, mostly thanks to leveling up being so easy with the Blissey bases. Really takes away a lot of the tedious grinding from previous games, making the whole dex completion a lot more fun. National dex may still be a bit of a stretch, but I'm feeling confident about getting Hoenn done

I continued my competitive Swablu hunt for today. At first, there wasn't much to it, as barely any 3+IV Swablu appeared. After that, I flew into my Secret Base and saved. I resumed play and continued the hunt and caught a couple of 3IV Swablus but none seemed to be desirable. After that, I looked randomly into the Pokédex and saved in Route 110 afterwards.

Continued working on my Hoenn Dex yesterday. Still working on leveling up and evolving Pokemon I've already caught. Yesterday I did

Swablu -> Altaria
Corpish -> Crawdaunt
Duskull -> Dusclops
Bagon -> Shelgon

Also put Machoke on the GTS, asking for another Machoke in return so it'll evolve into Machamp. Went back to check on it later in the evening but got a message saying the server was down, so I'll check again tonight

Pretty much finished evolving all the Pokemon I have already. Next up is a catching spree to get some of those I missed out while playing through the game. Also need to start collecting evolution stones and items. Need at least a Deepsea Tooth and Scale and a Water stone.

I finally got that GTS Starly in Omega Ruby and caught a Linoone. Linoone got deposited into the GTS for Cranidos. After that, I level grinded Starly in Victory Road and it evolved into Staravia. I did further grinding in Victory Road for a while and later grinded in a Secret Base. It's almost a Staraptor, I'll continue levelling it up later. Saved in that Secret Base.

Haven't really had much time to play lately, but today, I could finally get started on the breeding. I started with my first target, which was Fletchling. I had hatched several good Fletchling from past breedings on X/Y so I used some of them as parents here. I hatched 10 eggs and from them, I hatched not only one but two of my targets. They were Adamant, Physically Flawless and had Gale Wings. I kept one of them for my team and put the other in my box for special/useful breeding leftovers. That was the first out of five team members I had to hatch. Four left to go, will continue with the second one next up.

For today in AS:

- I finished stuff inside Shoal cave and flew to Lilycove city after that and did some shopping inside the department store and then I surfed to Sootopolis city in order to stop Kyogre.
- I used Dive and resurfaced at Sootopolis city's central lake and then I visited the pokemon center and exchanged pokemon. When that was done I spoke with Steven and Wallace. :3
- I finally gained entry into the Cave of Origin and ran down several floors before hopping on Kyogre and finding a cave where it transformed into Primal Kyogre, which I now had to catch.

Traded my Machoke for someone else's on the GTS, which evoled into Machamp upon completion of the trade. Repeated the same process with Kadabra to get a Alakazam as well. I've now put Pulsle on the GTS looking for a Minun. Can't be bothered hunting for ages for one given its low catch rate on AS.

With the trades done I've now started on a mini catching spree to get some of the base stage Pokemon I'm missing. Brought Breloom, my specialist catcher, into the team, along with Ryhdon, since she is a bit of a HM slave. Then set off from Mauville to Petalburg Woods to catch a Slakoth. Went the Verdanturf route and did a couple of Secret Base battles whilst in the tunnel, (including one particularly fun one against someone who'd made a Verdanturf Gym). Once in Petalbury Woods I found a Slakoth without too much hassle and caught it. Turned around and headed over to the Fiery Path, but only got as far as Rustboro City.

On Alpha Sapphire:

- I fought against Primal Kyogre and luckily it took me just two Ultra balls to catch it hee hee. I left the Cave of Origin once peace had been restored and the Eon Flute was given to me.
- I explored cottages along Sootopolis city next and got items inside some of them and then I dove underwater and trained my team a bit, plus I made a new Secret base on a little island. :D
- I headed back to Sootopolis after leveling up my pokemon and I visited Sootopolis city's gym and walked on the ice floors and made it to Wallace's spot after defeating his trainers.
