ShinyRiolu: …well, that is mighty odd. See, the name "Stareon's Hideout" rang a bell, so I searched my e-mail inbox for it. Blursh e-mailed me in April last year to apologize for being rude to me when I criticized her site in her comment box. When I responded with the same confusion as I responded to you and asked what incident she was referring to, it came out that she was referring to when I complained about her listing my site as an affiliate of hers (which is not even remotely the same as barging into a random new site to tear its content apart, which I still maintain I simply do not do). Then we had a friendly conversation, and all I've heard from her since is when she asked me about using my quiz scripts. If she has suddenly gone back to hating me, I'm frankly puzzled; we have not had any dealings since then, and if I was rude in her shoutbox (I still don't remember precisely what I said), I apologized for the possibility in that exchange, more than a year ago.



Now that I think about it, I think when I criticized your site, it was mainly because of all the stolen pictures you had with no credit given. As it happens, I take plagiarism very seriously, and yes, when I see a site has stolen content, I will comment on that. Again, however, that is a very, very different thing from waltzing uninvited into some random new site and starting to criticize its content. I am perfectly aware that that would be obnoxious and thus am very unlikely to ever do it.



Getting people to give credit for the pictures they take from the Internet and not list random sites they like as affiliates is not "picking on" the poor innocent webmasters. It is quite simply the right thing to do. If I happen to have been particularly annoyed when I did it, I'm sorry, but coming in here and accusing me of taking pleasure in tearing others down is simply twisting the truth to make me look bad.

Rude, offensive or otherwise inappropriate messages, including drama, controversy or other topics that might make others uncomfortable, will be deleted on sight. Repeat troublemakers will be banned altogether. You can use BBCode (forum code) to format your messages.

Giving an e-mail address is optional; if it is given, you will be notified by e-mail if I respond to your post. If you fill in a website (this should be your own website, blog or social media profile), it will be linked publicly on your post; however, messages obviously posted solely as a pretext for advertising, or advertising shady or inappropriate websites, will be deleted.

It means that one of the encounter slots changes if you use pokeradar. If you don't use pokeradar, it uses whatever is in the "Not using pokeradar" box. So just don't turn on the pokeradar and you're good.

The encounter slot is called "Pokeradar" because the idea is that it can ONLY be affected by using the pokeradar, so time of day, swarm, and dual slot don't ever change what's in that slot. Only pokeradar does.

This surprises me beacuase I fought zapdos on my first ultra ball

I love creating Pokémon, and I wanted to share one. Please let me know if you like it if you have time!

Waviper
is inspired by a water snake. It's a water type. I was thinking about making it a water-ice evolution, but I haven't created one yet.
Appearance: It's light blue, with dark blue crystal-shaped scales. It has three bubbles on its tail that resemble rattlesnake rattles. Shiny is light green, and the bubbles are aqua green.
Pokédex: It was carried to land by the waves. It's loved by children and shares the bubbles it creates with them. The noise it makes with its rattles is reminiscent of sea waves.
Height (or rather length): 1.7 meters
Weight: 5.5 kg
Classification: Wave
Ability: Water Veil
Stats: HP 40 ATK 50 DEF 45 SP ATK 65 SP DEF 35 SPEED 55

Great content, I especially appreciate the shoutout to Fisherman Tommy, where most people only speak about Fisherman Ronald for EV training attack!

Ack, I messed up the BBC tags. My apologies; feel free to correct on your end and delete this message if that's something you can do (if not I will shamefully accept my place on the wall of immortalized internet typos 😔)

Just to let you know, the link at the end of the Includes[\b] section currently leads to a 404 page

You might have accidentally typed an extra space after the name? Come to think of it, the game ought to just automatically strip it out if that happens; let me just do that real quick…

I’m referring to legendary Pokémon in gen 3 (they all have the same catch rate). There’s no difference between exactly 1hp and 11 percent hp if trying to catch a sleeping or paralyzed mewtwo with timer balls or ultra balls.

That depends entirely on which Pokémon you're trying to catch! In the first generation there's no point lowering its HP past 33%, but in the subsequent generations the catch rate can keep improving all the way down to 1 HP, depending on how the rounding shakes out. No point lowering it beyond 12% might be the case with the particular Pokémon you were looking at, but if you look at a different Pokémon you'll see different catch rates and different thresholds for where exactly it maxes out.

Dan

So when catching legendaries, sleep and chuck is the optimal strategy (even if it's Mewtwo). Reducing the HP will have a minimal effect on the catch rate (22% vs 24%). Paralysis is viable too, though clearly inferior to sleep. And although Ultra Balls are best, Great Balls and even regular Poke Balls provide a decent enough chance.

Dan

So False Swipe is overrated as there's no advantage to getting the wild Pokemon to 1 HP versus <12% HP (and getting it that low is only relevant if you're using Timer Balls; you only need <25% with Ultra Balls). Super Fang is the way to go, unless you have a level 100 Farfetch'd or something crazy.

Hi! I found this site a few months ago when I was looking for a damage calculator. This site is so cool! I am making my own fan site right now and yours is one of my inspirations. Thank you!
