Lol...I like how you put Furret for Linoone's pic. :rolleyes:

To find the shards, just find the house that changes them into stones, and find the circle pools of deep water in the routes around it...use Dive to search through them. Remember: in the patches of grass underwater, or the odd stone sitting in the deeper underwater caves, check them for shards. If you're lucky, you'll get the right shard.

So if you find the Yellow Shard, use it (obviously) to evolve Pikachu. People say that Pikachu is better because of the Light Ball, but it just makes Pika's SpAtk 10 more than Raichu, and Rai almost doubles Pika in everything else, so there's really no question.

Also, having things like Blizzard, Ice Beam AND Aurora Beam on the same Pogey is bad. In that case, I'd stick with Ice Beam, or keep Blizzard if you don't mind it's accuracy. Same goes for Pika's Tbolt and Thunder. Keep Thunderbolt. Lose Bubblebeam on Crawdaunt...and for Linoone...I would ditch it, but it's up to you.

Just a few suggestions...hope it helps.
 

Kveran

Pinin' for the fjord
LINOONE @ Nothing for PickUp/Chesto for battle / Adamant
Belly Drum
Rest
Extremespeed/Return
HP Flying/Shadow Ball

WALREIN @ Leftovers / Modest/Bold
Surf
Ice Beam
Yawn
Earthquake

CRAWDAUNT @ Leftovers / Hasty or Adamant
Swords Dance
Return
Ancientpower/HP Rock
Surf/Crunch

Crawdaunt's speed is so bad that a Hasty nature won't do much for it, but it could get some help from this nature.

PIKACHU @ Light Ball (just keep trying...)/Leftovers / Timid
Thunderbolt
Thunder Wave
HP Grass/HP Ice/Wish
Substitute

May I make a suggestion? My suggestion's name is Manectric. Not as cute, but not as fragile either. There's honestly not that much you can do with a Pikachu.

Changes in bold
Dont know about the rating.
 

intergalactic platypus

Only rescues maidens
linoone
-return
-shadow ball
-iron tail
-i guess you could keep slash for critical hit ratio...
NO ODOR SLEUTH. EVER. yeah, this set is far more effective because linoones defenses are horrible so you keep it for physical sweeping purposes

walrein
-ice beam
-curse
-earthquake
-rest
why hallo there swampert! really, walrein cant do much but rip off better pokemons movesets. your first set broke the cardinal rule though, which is never have more then one of the same type attack. all ice = NO

crawdaunt
-swords dance
-return
-brick break
-surf
crawdaunt was meant to do physical sweeping

raichu (evolve it)
i dont have anything for raichu really. its not my thing

for more pokemon, i would cover my electric and grass weakness with flying and ground types. adds more diversity to cover problems. and drop the attack power raising items like mystic water. theyre horrible and are wasted space. use shell bell and leftovers instead

Well considering you have 2 physical sweepers and 2 special sweepers, you'll want a physical wall and special wall.

Skarm makes a good physical wall and blissey makes a great special wall. If you don't like those then tell me, and I'll suggest other ones.

BTW:

Linoone @ Leftovers
Belly Drum
Extremespeed
Substitute
Shadow Ball


I'll do the others another time.

As a matter of fact, I just bred a skarmory. LOL
here are its stats

Skarmory @ (Dunno yet)
Nature: Impish
- Spikes
- Air Cutter
- Swift
- Steel Wing
Other: Where can I get toxic, i read that this would be great if it had toxic and spikes to use for annoyance.

Also I couldn't find the linoone sprite so i used a furret, lol.

And how do I get specific types of HP's? This game has a few twists and turns that are hard for me to understand.

Theif might not be such a good idea, being a sp. attacking move. Use linoone's physical strengths. I'd suggest a chesto berry, unless you wanted to leave it open.

Don't use type redundant moves, they waste type coverage. Let Walrein have the leftovers, because of the massive amount of HP. Don't think there is a need for the chesto berry, if it can stay in the game long enough with the leftovers.
----------

Crawdaunt ;342;
Nature: Adamant
-Aerial Ace
-Swords Dance
-Body Slam
-Guillotine
Item: Scope Lens
Other: I like the Hyper Cutter ability and that it's Water/Dark.

Once again, type redundant moves. Stick with Crawdaunt's Attack stat, it's way better than it's sp. atk stat. Scope Lens could be used to make aerial ace have a large critical hit ratio, and that also takes care of fighting types.

Item- Leftovers (i caught like 6 pikachus and couldn't find light ball)

I don't know about this...Just evolve it and replace the thunderbolt with something else when it's a raichu.

I'd rate it 2/10, no offense.

And I'd rate your rate... oh, never mind.
Chestoresting isn't the best idea, and neither is 1HKO, Scope lens, and haxy moves like body slam.
Thunderdancing fails, and linoone might not be fast enough to pull off a belly drum sweep without extremespeed.

Ok as of now I have

Skarmory
Nature: Impish
-Spikes
-Toxic
-Swift
-Steel wing
Strategy: 1st use spikes, then use toxic, then use swift and steel wing, I find swift great since 100% accuracy. Also @ lvl 51 has 178 Defense.

Crobat
Nature: Mild
-Sludge Bomb (STAB'd)
-Bite
-Mean Look
-Fly (Hey, some pokemon in your party has to have fly...)
Strategy: Don't have one, but I need help bite and mean look, please don't post TM's you can only get once (ex. Aerial Ace).

Also where is a good place to train besides the E4?

70% of the Serebii population uses ultra powerful legendaries (also known as ubers) in their teams.
If you are one of the 30% that thinks outside the box and doesn't use ubers, copy and paste this into your signature!

toxic is still pointless and crap on skarm, no matter how many times you post it
 
Whoa it's the attack of the noobs.

Seriously toxic on skarm only worked in the days of GSC ;/
