Oh crap, I just realized something... in the process of finally catching Suicune, I realized that I used up my only Master Ball! So there's no way I'm going to continue SRing for Moltres... I won't let the possibility of finding a shiny only to run out of Ultra Balls rear its ugly head. So I think I'm going to have to reset Firered to get another one... BLAST!

Should I make it a speed run to get back to a legendary bird or SR for another Kanto starter?

I would speed run if you are at all interested in the SSC. Anyways, I have spent all night raising a serious Gastly from LV.18 to LV. 38. Does anyone know when it can relearn Hypnosis?

Also, can you have a Growlithe at LV. 49 learn Flamethrower, then use a Firestone to make Arcanine learn Extremespeed at LV. 49?

Darn on Haunter, since I need it for the E4 I'll have to wait.
Holy moly thank you, Arcanine can learn Extremespeed on the same level!

Does anyone have a suggested moveset for Haunter. I can't trade to get a Gengar.
 
Meh, hatched some eggs while the TVs were nopt working, no shiny -.-'

Good luck to everyone ;D *repetitive post o_o'*

Well today i found a shiny shuppet while hunting at mt.pyre
I found it on my sapphire which has my shiny sceptile while driving back from my grandmas house. When i got home my pants were muddy so my mom took them and washed them. It took me like fifteen minutes to find my camera (my room is very messy) and I came downstairs and I turned my ds on. The game loaded and it was ruby. I checked my pants pocket for my sapphire and realized that it was in the washing machine. There goes two of my four shines. Now I am sad and I will make a memorial in my sig.

Well the thing is I can't learn Hypnosis again untill I go back to the Islands, unless there is a movetutor for it. If I don't have Hypnosis, Dream Eater is garbage. What about:
Shadow Punch
Shadow Ball
Night Shade
Confue Ray/Destiny Bond

If Hypnosis is available:
Hypnosis
Shadow Ball
Nightmare/Dream Eater
Destiny Bond/Confuse Ray/Night Shade

On Topic: Sring for Dratini after giving up on Zapdos.

The Gastly line is much more speciallly oriented then physically oriented.

That said, I wouldn't suggest using any type of Ghost move on it, and rather teach it moves like Thunderbolt and Ice Punch.

On topic: Still resetting for the same shiny (And hoping nobody else gets said shiny before me).
 

Taylor Ray

Newest shiny
I knew that but I didn't remember if Ghost was Attack or SP Attack.

Hah, good idea. I go outside to play, whenever I get grounded.

Today I have about 100 SRs for Dratini, two at a time meaning around 200 chances for one with no luck.
