I began my PokeQuest with Chimchar, the fire monkey, and soon added a Geodude, Shinx and Shellos to my crew. Geodude, who evolves into Graveler and then Golem, is a rock/ground Pokemon who is impervious to electric attacks and stands up well against flying and fire Pokemon. His Magnitude attack wipes out all kinds of opponents, but he is useless against water and plant enemies.
Chimchar, the Diamond and Pearl answer to Charizard, is a cute monkey with a flaming tail. When he evolves into Infernape, his hairdo goes flaming, too. |
Hence, I also have Chimchar, who burns through plants. For fighting water Pokemon, I captured a Shinx, which evolved into a Luxio who evolved into a Luxray—a relatively competent electric Pokemon.
You should always strive to have the basics—fire, water, ground and electric—in your party. You can combine elements (Gyrados has fire and water, Infernape has fire and fight) but you need to cover your bases.
I generally do not carry ghost or psychic Pokemon. I know, there are a lot of you out there who will swear by Alakazam and Mewtwo. But you can teach Luxray Bite—a dark attack that wipes out psychic and ghost Pokemon in a hurry.
Get your water, electric, ground and fire attacks down pat, and you will have an answer for any situation.
Tips from Nintendo
In Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl, the way Moves affect opponents have changed. Physical Moves strike the opponent up close and use the Attack stat, where as Special Moves strike from afar and use the Special Attack stat. Knowing the difference between the two greatly improves your battle strategy.
Have your Pokemon learn moves that cover its weaknesses. For example, have a Fighting-type Pokemon learn a Ice-type or Dark-type move.
Pay attention to a Pokemon’s ability. Quite a few Pokemon have more than one available to them. A Pokemon’s ability like Levitate can make the difference in a battle.
If you have taught your Pokemon the wrong move, don’t fret! There are people in the Sinnoh that can help. Try looking for the Move Deleter or a Move Tutor. These are people who can help you with your troubles.

tip
once u deafete cyrus at galactic hq go to spear pillar and battle him and have a double battle with the two commanders to be able to battle dialga and wen u get dragged off by dawn go behind dialgas spot to find the LUSTROUS ORB!
kk, guys u wont belive this, im fresh out of the 1st badge and ive got the fallowing poke:
Sauuske (monferno) lvl-31
Krikitune lvl-12
bunnery lvl-16
pachirisu lvl-9
butifly lvl-12
Apom lvl-9
PS: i dont know if its on this any more but im a girl
that has had this game for almost 3 years beat that!
If ur hunting for pokemon, i sugjest the trees near the weather institute andthe one just across the brige, there’s a HUGE amount of aipom there, ive caut 10!
kk, nother thing, the underground thing isn’t that hard,once u get the hang of it, untill than, do what i did nd try to draw a map of the underground radar scan and mark importaint locations.(i.e. traders, your base, YOUR FRIEND”S BASE, your buried orbs, and any other place you think is important.
kk, people who do not know you smear honey on a tree to get one of the fallowing:
– a lvl.16+ burmy,
-a lvl.16+ combee,
-a lvl 16+ shiny pokemon(my first was a blue poneta)
– OR, if your lucky you can get a lvls1-4 mersprit, i have no idea how i did that without a cheat but it worked!!
ok, nother tip, to everyone whom sais there’s only one master ball it isn’t true. If you actualy manige to, you can win some at the pokemon loto if it’s EXACTLY THE SAME #!!!!!!!
to all questions, 4th gym is in pastrora, after u beat 7th badge you go to the main galactic base and get warehouse key, then you free the lake pokemon, then you fallow team galactic to the mt. and fight and,or, capture dialga/palkia and go to sunnyshore to beat 8th badge, yes you can’t beat the game without legendary pokemon#1!!!!!!
also, guys you say only lv. 100 pokemon can beat the elite 4? LIES!!!!!!!!! the last pokemon i used to beat Cynthia was a lv10 shinx, admitidly it was weakend consideribly by Itachi, my lv56 Emplon.
you guys keep talking about a well balanced team, and how Ash would think, but you have to take half and half, and take in some of Paul’s techniques, and use pokemon that are weak against some gym leader’s pokemon and gain exp and skill through leveling and bond more with your pokemon, insted of taking the easy way out. Think of this from al trainer’s view insted of just Ash’s.
