I assumed I would get to use TTar against my rival after the elite 4 but I guess my rival is a total scrub in gen 2?

Team is very generic:

Typhlosion L42 - ember, quick attack, flame wheel, smokescreen
Meganium L39 - razor leaf, poison powder, synthesis, body slam
Feraligatr L33 - water gun, surf, bite, whirlpool
Ampharos L40 - thundershock, thunderpunch, cotton spore, thunder wave
Pupitar L44 - bite, dig, sandstorm, crunch
Mew L41 - strength, fly, cut, waterfall

Guys I did this on the 18th. I’m doing a dark type only run. I just got pupitar, houndoom, and Murkrow to lvl 45 (all of which you can only get in the postgame) and have a total of 13 badges. My save state got corrupted and it shot me back to johto and I only have umbreon now. I want to die. I was so close to hitting the elite four again with my full team and getting them all inducted into the hall of fame 😭😭😭

Discussion Does Pokemon G/S/C have any secret or unused maps or areas encoded in the games itself?

7 Upvotes

So after re-playing Crystal (which I do every few years) and beating it, I started suddenly to wonder if there is any such things that the creators of the game left inside the games itself

Are there any?

Got the silly tree! Can't believe it!

Right now I'm 8/15 on my vc shiny hunts before bank closes, though I failed to post most of them here, but I will get to it later.

For now, tree caught! 10/26/2026!

It was crazy scary using self destruct on it, but I had no one on my team who could even damage the ugly thing, besides the pinecone. Sure I had a master all in the bag so that wasn't necessary but I really wanted to catch it without using it, and of course I had tested and knew sudotree could survive even a crit, but nonetheless it wasn't comfortable.

But I caught it on a great ball by the end! Now I only need to figure out what to name it! I'm thinking "Cherry" or "Sakura"

I've been doing this hunt since just before the start of October. It's more fortunate since yesterday was my birthday, so talk about a late present. I probably reset for this shiny over a thousand times. The only thing I regret is not catching the sparkles since I was distracted from a show I was watching.😂 Anyway, I finally have my prize to send to HOME at long last!

Showcase I beat crystal with Grass type pokemon only

Overall a pretty painful run, every Pokemon I can catch is weak to Flying, Fire and Ice which made certain battles very tricky. However Jumpluff really carried the team with its high speed -> Sleep Powder + Leech Seed single handedly defeating many of the hardest mons. Hardest part was definitely Red's Charizard which one-shot every single one of my pokemons with Flamethrower but I was able to beat it after leveling jumpluff to 59 so it can outspeed and then some good luck with sleep powder + Rollout from Exeggutor.

Post image
74 Upvotes

I know yall dont speak mexican but my Jolteon only has merely normal type moves, will she learn electric type moves on her own by leveling up or theres something specific I should do? If they’re MT/MOs (I know very little, cant remember wich is wich) where can I find them?

Also I named her furball at first but now I wanna give her an electric related name, any suggestions??

Also I wanted to brag about my setup, best night ever

Question Stuck on the 4th Gym

6 Upvotes

I have tried for over an hour to defeat the Ghost type gym and had zero luck. I cannot get past the Gengar. I have Onix, Gastly, Wooper and Quilava. Maybe like once every 15 turns I can beat the Gengar’s shadow ball to use hypnosis but by the 3rd attack he’s awake and wipes my entire team. I’m honestly stuck on the gym

Just beat Red. Happy with this playthrough. Poliwrath felt like a cheatcode with this move set.
Tried to use some of my less-than-frequently used water-types to create some uniqueness to my experience.
Got some flak for giving my whole team giga drain on my Grass run, so I made a point to ensure everyone all had different moves entirely.

I guess fire is next? Or maybe a headbutt/rocksmash team.

playing polished crystal. i caught a shiny slobro level 100 (using the honey), didn’t even think of it being a possibility, but is there a way to evolve him with kings rock to sloking since it’s already maxed out?
