Sorry, I meant that Sand Rising heals you each turn that amount.

Excuse me while I explain my pokemon:

Ability: Swing Back-Deals x damage dealt back to the opponent after taking damage, where x=damage taken. If contact move, also raises user's defense by 1. User always goes last, except with priority moves. Destiny Bond gains priority.

Dex Entry 1: Acting as a common training tool for practice, it will retaliate violently to scare the attacker. It seems to be unable to attack without provocation.

Dex Entry 2:A quite resilient Pokemon. For a while, it was unknown until it was caught on camera absorbing a victim's life.

Base Stats: 500

Attack: 0

Defense: 200

Special Attack: 0

Special Defense: 150

Speed: 0

Hp: 150

Attacks: Counter, Mirror Coat, Substitute, Destiny Bond, Endure, Reversal, Vengeful Tackle (unique), Sand Rising (unique).

Vengeful Tackle: Power -, Accuracy 85, Category Physical. Deals damage equal to opponent's SpAtk if Atk<SpAtk, otherwise opponents Atk.

Sand Rising: Power:-, Accuracy -, Category Status. Heals user by (x+1)/16 of the users health, where x equals the # of fainted Pokemon this battle.

So was I, if "the only valid babies are websites" somehow sounded like a serious statement to you :P

Come on, it was a joke!

I wasn't sure if I should put it on the zodiac page or this page since it's not a question. Just found it really cool that my birthday has a strong moon theme xD day of Lunatone in the reign of Cresselia. Anyway, this website is really cool!

The Calyrex option here is just for Calyrex itself, not the Ice Rider or Shadow Rider form. Does that mean that the catch chance is the same for both? Even for Heavy Ball, when Ice Rider is over 100x heavier than normal Calyrex?

My next essay might be one tackling the Venonat and Butterfree connection, actually :P

Thank you so much for making this! BTW, do you know any tips for getting happiness up on my Eevee in Silver?

This was a beautiful essay. The first two generation of Pokemon had a certain magic to them; not just because we were children, but also because the internet had not yet evolved into its modern form and the games were so flimsily coded. Some very strange things could happen while a kid was simply playing the game, and lead to amazing stories like this. I really loved reading this one. So long, Jolteon. Your memory will live on.

I believe Azurill was the only one, due to the specific unique quirk of having a different gender ratio from its evolved form.

Are there any species besides Azurill that can change gender when they evolve? Or any oversights/bugs that would cause a Pokémon’s gender to change? It’d be fun to make a party of the little guys XD

Happy to help catch that bug in the guestbook! I was wondering why the page 2 link did that.

Also I'm commenting to build up a party, cool feature!

As I said, I know this. However, this says nothing about why this decision was made, only that it was stated in this book. For all we know off that snippet, Game Freak gave them some notes that said this because they were already figuring it worked like that - in fact, that’s what I’m kind of inclined to assume by default, since it seems odd a guidebook would just make up something fairly random and counterintuitive like that out of nowhere, and if the guide had made it up out of nowhere without consulting Game Freak, it seems unlikely Game Freak would have just been like, “Oh, welp, this guidebook made this up out of nowhere, guess we have to do it this way now.” The mere existence of a statement that Nidorina and Nidoqueen can’t have eggs in the guidebook is not evidence of why that decision was made or by whom one way or the other.
