Tyranitar is becoming more popular because of the Sandstorm defence boost as well. He is even classified as Uber now because of it, IIRC

[Temari245]

That's true....I don't have a Larvitar which sucks because the one I want is with my friend and he won't let me have a copy of it.The bad thin, I don't have Wi-Fi.

[Rayje655]

Tyranitar is becoming even better nowadays!? Dang too bad i dont got the diamond version i mean my bro has it but he hasnt even beaten the game yet becuz one of his friend traded him an eevee and a ditto and now he's making an eevee team which is taking him forever to train becuz there really isnt any good place for him to train at the moment and then there's the fact i have to wait for him to get the national dex which shouldnt be a problem

Can you only get Lavitar from importing or is it anywhere in this game?

[ducky285]

Larvitar can be found on Route 207 using the PokeRadar in Diamond ONLY.

I got both but I haven't started playing diamond.

What about the first form of Metagross?

Beldum. It's only findable in the swarms that appear after you beat the game, so you might end up waiting a very long time before you can get one. Have you tried looking in the GTS?

[ducky285]

Apparently, you can only search for Pokemon through GTS is you have a record of you seeing it in the game first. Beldum isn't seen anywhere except in the wild when swarming and in the Battle Tower (where encounters don't count toward your Pokedex, apparently). You can get a Metagross and breed it, though.

If someone knows how to get Pokemon that you haven't seen yet through GTS, it would be very helpful.

[unkdavar]

I can't get on the GTS. I don't have Wi Fi yet.

I have 3 beldums. They were a god damn bitch to catch. So many ultraballs and duskballs despite having only a silver of health. Also they only use takedown it seems so they are pretty much suicidal making them harder to catch.

The only way you can get a pokemon you have not seen is by doing a personal trade.

[hakaku]

something must be wrong with my game because i beat the 7th gym leaser with a lvl 98 (only carry r pokemon at a time for hm reasons) and it obeyed me find so what is the deal with that?

[unkdavar]

Your game is completely broken. It is a fatal glitch that will destroy your DS. Blow up your game or return it to the store as soon as you can.

No. If that happened then that is a good thing. Just be happy that is happened and everything will be ok.

[Temari245]

Lol....I'd be mad if my DS got a glitch that destroyed it.Not after I got a Kingdom Hearts Skin Cover for it.That would suck

Another useful link.

Diamond and pearl teambuilder.

http://pokemon.marriland.com/diamond.../team_builder/

You insert your team into it and it counts up all your weaknesses and resistances and scales them. If you get a deep red in something then that means you have a big weakness to a type in your team and you should proberly change things around a bit.

Use a Gengar or other Ghost-type with Hypnosis. Take Down can't hit them and Sleep helps a LOT. Also, try Great Balls and Poke Balls once in a while. Sometimes they work when the better balls don't.

Also, if you guys are searching for items held by Pokemon (like I was last night), use a Pokemon with the Compoundeyes ability to increase the chances of finding wild Pokes that carry items. I got the Electrizer, Magmaizer, Deepseatooth, Deepseascale, and Dragon Scale rather easily using a Butterfree with Smoke Ball (since it was only level 13), a Banette with the Frisk ability, and a Fearow with Thief.

If no one has answered this...

I'm pretty sure that is you battle someone with that Pokemon, it counts as you seeing it. For example, say you need a Raichu, but you haven't seen one yet. When you battle a friend that uses one against you, the Raichu becomes "seen".

Of course I might be wrong. =/

[CMG]

Sorry I'm late for the party, lol. ^_^;

just got the game today... got my first gym badge... bought two big-ass game guides so that I know wtf i am doing, lol

Anywho here is my friend code (i have Diamond btw)

Pretty sure I don't know anyone with a Mew or any of the other Event Legendaries that I need to complete the Dex so that doesn't really help me. :/

Goddamn Nintendo and their Event bull****!
