Good point, Lapras isn't the fastest enemy anyway.

Also: during my own battle with Red... that motherfucking Pikachu... OHKO'd my GodScizor with a fucking Volt Tackle. Granted, I attempted to OHKO him with Bullet Punch, relying on my MASSIVE attack stat, STAB, Technician, priority, AND the Choice Band attached but NOOOOOOO... the bastard survived with just a little HP, no doubt due to resisting Steel. Enough to get off a Volt Tackle before he died from recoil damage.

P.S. Please see my sig, I'm looking for both berries, and totally need at least one of them for a couple of my Pokeymans' movesets to work correctly.

Hehe. See th PM I sent ya, EckScizor. I've been using Petaya for a while in the NPF league, and I can grow it for ya. Have a Salac, just haven't found anyone worth using it on yet (It's more common in UU, I think).

I've been spending most of my time lurking around the GameFAQs trade boards, but I've found time to finally put together an Elite 4 team. I hope to beat them this time around. Giratina, Lucario, Alakazam, Typhlosion, and Tyranitar. Giratina is able to get me through Bruno and Koga, but needs help against the guy that replaced Lorelei. Can never remember his name.

What do those two berries do?

Julford Hajime · 03-25-2010, 09:51 PM

The Petaya Berry raises the users special attack by one stage, similar to the special attack boost from Calm Mind. Salac Berry raises the users speed by one stage, which basically means it has half the effect of, say, Agility. There are equivalent stat-boosting berries for attack (Though this one is rarely used), as well as defense and sp. defense (Which I have never seen suggested for use, as once you're in berry-using range you probably won't be benefiting from a stat boost to either of your defenses >.>)

For the most part they're useless in the main game, since they get consumed just like regular berries and are so rare you don't want to lose them. In Wi-fi fights, though, any one-use items you use are restored after the fight, making them more useful since you don't have to worry about never getting them back.

Yes! Took down the Elite 4 with basically one Pokemon.

My team was:
Tyranitar L59
Giratina L43
Lucario L42

Tyranitar was really the only one that fought. Giratina came in once to Thunderbolt Lance's Gyarados. Oh yeah, Lucario came out once to take out Vileplume with Iron Tail.

So, I was breeding sneasels, so I could have a competitive Weaville. You know, simply stuff, like passing pusuit while making it Jolly and passing perfect attack and speed ivs to it. Course I breed a ton of em to pick which one was graced the most by the rng.

Anywho, one of em came out shiny. God, I am so ecstatic, since Sneasel/Weaville are my favorite. Turns out her attack and speed ended up 31 too(rest of her ivs were crap though), so she's good to use anyway

Im just so happy.

Got a japanese ditto earlier today, so I plan on trying for a shiny Dratini and Staryu. How many eggs did it take for you to get the Sneasel?

Well, I was near the end of a box of eggs, so close to thirty. I wasn't really trying to get a shiny, just get the best ivs I could focusing on speed/attack, but I got real lucky.

The odds with a foreign breed are like 1 in 2048, so you gotta really go for it if you are trying for a shiny(or you can rng exploit it on d/p/pl, which I've never been able to successfully pull off>.<)
