Topic: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

@rallydefault I was terrified of Cynthia as well, since my team was 6 levels under her Garchomp. Surprisingly enough though, that wasn't the problem. No no no, it was those damned Lucario and Milotic. My first attempt of Cynthia, Lucario set up a Nasty Plot on one of my switches and I was decimated to nothingness literally within 1 minute. The next time around however, I was able to switch Torterra in before it could set up and OHKO it with EQ. THEN THE DEVIL KNOWN AS MILOTIC CAME OUT. I knew it had Ice Beam so I switched into my Glaceon to resist it and hit it with Freeze Dry. And let me tell you: the realization when the Flame Orb activated that it was Marvel Scale was absolutely terrifying. It took me 16 turns across both my Glaceon and Toxicroak to try and kill it, all the while it could easily kill me in return. I was sweating absolute bullets the entire time. In other words, GOOD LUCK. You're gonna need it.

@X-Slayer No, I just wanted to make sure that nobody fighting Cynthia for the first time knows about it. I revel in the chaos that it brings.

Just beat it! Yay!

It came down to her Garchomp and my Torterra. I ran her out of Dragon Claws and then went in for it.

I'm terrible at these games, but it was definitely fun. I'm ready to move back to my comfort zone of platforming games, though haha

@rallydefault Congratulations! BDSP are considered to be some of the hardest mainline Pokemon games in the series so well done for getting all the way to the end and beating Cynthia!

@rallydefault congrats! Now you know why Cynthia has the reputation she has among fans!

@Eel I haven't even watched the video and I can hear it note for note.

@Fizza @Eel
Thank you! And that video is hilarious lol

Yay, Cynthia has been defeated! I had to retry because I realized setting up toxic spikes had been a waste of time (Roserade can remove them by switching in). The second battle went much better, though I did have to revive my Clefable to land the final hit on Garchomp with a critical Moonblast. It was good!

Empoleon and Driftblim got a funny combo going on. Flint's Lopunny and Lucian's Medicham both tried to land a super effective High Jump Kick on Empoleon only to crash and KO themselves after I swiched him with Driftblim (who is immune to that attack).

@rallydefault
In Generation 5, there was a random house in a town where the moment you entered, she would be there and challenge you to a battle, with the same team as her champion battle but even stronger. Hah! It was amazing.

Obligatory king of the hill parody

I was going to come here to ask if someone could trade me the SP exclusives. But then, out of the blue, I decided to use a trade code to see if I could get Weedle and found my lord and saviour, Nohzira. He was a French one online and had a Weedle.... AND EVERY OTHER EXCLUSIVE. I still need to get legendaries and trade evos but for right now, I am MORE than grand.

@Fizza I ended up making copy's of my box legendary, in SP, so if you need it I got two.

@Snatcher I'll let you know when then. I don't want to keep it since I personally don't like Palkia but I appreciate it for the dex. Question, do copied legends count as hacked legends? I don't want to do anything risque you know?

@Fizza No, it has the same stats as the real deal, because it is the real deal.

@Snatcher Thanks for the go ahead. Also, that sentence with your PFP is amazing.

@Fizza Did I spell stats states....I'm just going to change that.

GUYS I WAS JUST DOING SOME LAST MINUTE RADAR HUNTING BEFORE ARCEUS AND I FOUND A SHINY KRICKETOT!!!! BUGATO IS MINE!

@Fizza Are you back yet ):

Also, thats amazing! wish I could run into a shiny pokemon just once.

I've never come across a Shiny pokemon on accident, and I really feel happy for anyone who does end up coming across one.

@Snatcher I'll be officially back probably by February. The spoilers man... 'dere EVERYWHERE.
Also @VoidofLight I appreciate you very much (I think you're a very cool guy) but I know that you've been in the PLA forum so please don't spoil anything, thank you

EDIT: I managed to keep the chain going and got 4 more! 3 males called Bymn, Percy and Foley and a female called Cadava (props if you understand the last one)

@Fizza Oh yeah, I won't spoil anything. It doesn't really even pertain to the conversation in this thread anyways. This is just more about BDSP than anything else.

@Fizza Feb ): well I hope you Enjoy the game, I can't wait to play it!
