Can we all agree that this was the pinnacle of Pokémon? From Platinum saving the Sinnoh Region, to the fresh and raw Pokémon experience of B/W, to the content and quality eruptions in HG/SS and B2/W2.
No time in Pokémon's entire history has given us such high quality and content games. HG/SS and B2/W2 in particular being GOAT, with Pt and B/W offering very welcome changes of pace between them.
The reason I haven't evolved Mankey or Abra is because they gain XP faster that way. I'll probably be like in the 70s or 80s by the time I'm at the E4 at the current rate they're leveling.
Why even do that when you can super train at like four times the speed tho
Girl. I'm a huge proponent of Super Training (especially when it comes to certain evolution stones) but five horde battles with Pokerus and a Power item can be done in like 4 minutes.
Currently building my first (semi-)competitive team since like 2008. Using the first three on a single battle Maison challenge soon.
Below is what's currently planned; I'm currently DexNaving for a three-star Happiny with the right three perfect stats, and I'll breed for nature and egg moves tomorrow probably. The rest are done and need to be EV trained, though I need to snatch an Ability Capsule for Garchomp.
There are some flaws in the team and some holes here and there, but it's a good start. The first three will be permanent since they'll actually have the appropriate IVs, natures, and abilities. I'm thinking of maybe replacing N's Zoroark with his Ferrothorn? It would have six IV's at 30 when caught wild and it will have a neutral nature, which is basically fine. I'm not sure what to do with Rhyperior and Gengar in the future, though I might still make the latter Mega on another set or when I don't use Charizard.

thx 2 temporal for the formatting I stole & edited <3
i would remove swords dance on that garchomp if i were you cus since it's holding a choice item it would get locked in to that move only rendering it useless
