THE COMMUNAL POKéMON DIARY THREAD

Ahh... I feel dumb today.

Last Monday, I saw that I played the game for 999:59. I was hyped that I'm almost to a thousand days (Yep I thought it was DAYS:HOURS). Some how I thought that the maximum time the game can display is 999:99, so I played the usual this week and every evening I'll check if it reached 99. I did this for 3 days. I wondered why it's still at 59, so i thought maybe if I save and exit the game it will be updated (it's because i don't close the game, i just put my ds to sleep mode when I'm not playing). It didn't work so I thought of something else, I somehow arrived to the conclusion that I need to sync the game for it to be updated. When it still didn't work, I thought of reasons it didn't. Because of my awesome deduction skills (Lol, it took me three days XD), I figured that it was HOURS:MINUTES played. I searched for Secret bases a lot while doing so and now only need less than a hundred flags to belong to the platinum club, so that's a consolation. Shout out to my secret base members who gave me some flags of their own, especially Victor, he gave me 35!



I really like this shiny flag .


Moving on,

I'm making an excel file for my competitive living dex (got the idea from @Justin). I'm filling the file with nicknames, movesets, abilities, natures, and items that I think I would want to use on them. I also put EV spreads, but the spreads can be changed to fit the team I'll use them in. At first I was doing it randomly, whatever mon I thought of, but recently, I decided to be a little systematic on my approach. So i will do it in Dex Number order, although I'll start with charizard x, since i'm already hunting for a shiny one. I'll do the final evolved ones before i go on to the pre-evolved mons.

There was a lot of mons I'm not sure how to use like: arbok, parasect, and primeape, to name a few. So I researched about them but most builds in the net are for Single battles. So I tried to make one for them myself. I somehow wanted to put their signature moves with them even if they're not that good, like pangoro's parting shot.



Of the first 25 I'm trying to build sets, all final evolved ones from venusaur to arcanine, I was intrigued with primeape.


(Thanks to Shinigami-gfx, for the photo of his primeape, Joe)

I didn't know there were defiant primeapes. It has good Atk with 95 base speed, but has 60-70 HP, Def, and SpD. Since it won't be able to survive a lot of common attacks, I focused on him being fast and strong. I will max its Atk, put 228 Spe just enough to speed creep the fastest Landorus T, the rest to be dumped to its SpD for "bulk" (Lol bulk). I'll give it scarf to outspeed any unscarfed mon except the fastest deoxys. With +2, if there were intimidates, it even has a chance to KO thundurus. He'll be a glass canon, once intimidated, with quite decent coverage from Ice punch, close combat, rock slide, and gunk shot. He would need some help against priority moves, so a partner with quick guard would help. I'll name my primeape, Pac-Man, from pound for pound king, Manny Pacquiao (imo)



Ahh... thinking of sets for uncommon pokemon is fun. Granted there are mons that outclasses them, still fun nonetheless.
