What are some lesser known tips and tricks that you know about?
In the video, you point out how the ability Compound Eyes makes wild pokemon more likely to hold items, but that's just one of several abilities which in Emerald affect wild encounters when the pokemon is in the first party slot:
Illuminate & Arena Trap increase the encounter rate;
Quick Feet, Stench, White Smoke, Intimidate, & Keen Eye lower the encounter rate;
Hustle, Pressure & Vital Spirit make wild pokemon more likely to be the highest level possible;
Sticky Hold & Suction Cups increase the likelihood of a Fishing Bite;
and the most interesting is Magnet Pull, which increases the likelihood of encountering steel types. Though, in Emerald this is only relevant for Skarmory and Mawile.
i havent watched the video yet - so idk if its in here, but the best way to train EVs in game is to use the Ditto cave in emerald and use pokemon that give 3 IVs in a stat. (lead pokemon for IVs, switch to EV pokemon, ditto becomes the pokemon and now has the same EV yield as say, kyogre.)
i traied up my pokemon for the battle frontier relatively fast using this method after finishing breeding
If you hate your life, Lightning rod makes you get more phone calls in emerald.
In emerald, a Synchronize ability in the first party slot will have increased odds for finding the same nature as the ability pokemon (even if the sychronize pokemon is fainted!)
The pickup zigzagoons are nice in R/S but in emerald, what items they can pick up is scaled down to their level, which is probably low. ie fewer rare candies and nuggs.
Not including the post e4 was meh because it skips over the Battlr Tower PC cloning glitch, the feature that convinced me to take on the Frontier in the first place! Cloning 5 rare candies/HP Ups/PP Maxs per minute and a half is a godsend
@@donlyphans7801 only 5? You can clone as many as once as box spaces. The glitch works as the partial half save you reset on saves your bag and party and not your PC so giving items to PC mons and then saving then taking them off and then using multibattle half save you have a copy in your bag and in your pc mons
If you are out of repels, you can use CUT to cut the grass around you.
If you're looking to move quickly through the routes with tall grass, you can even cut this grass too!
Corsola, chinchou, relicanth, and clamperl on Route 124 and 126 have a 5% chance of holding a shard (red, yellow, green, and blue respectively) which you can steal with Covet or Thief and trade them for evolution stones from the treasure hunter just outside of Mossdeep City. It's at least some way to farm stones if you need them.
It's actually the only way to get a few of them IIRC. I remember having to farm a water stone for my Starmie
Thanks a million for this
Yo. That’s a 1/1 million kind of tip. Was frisk in gen 3?
@@bobjob2514 Unfortunately no, that was gen 4 and onward.
Frisk only says if it has an item, compound eyes could be more helpful and it's available in gen 3.
But to get a green sharp you really need some time, it took me more than 1 hour...
Fun fact the girl that gives you berries in Sootopolis City (6:26) is meant to be Masuda's daughter who was born shortly before the release of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
Such a cool Easter egg
Fascinating.
I have such a weak spot for gen 3 games. It was like they unlocked the holy grail of what they were missing, that music, the mechanics, the pixel graphics, the zone all just made three of the most iconic games I have ever played.
They started with the base on Ruby&Sapphire but the peak was Soulsilver&Heartgold ❤
@@Carcosahead no, firered and emerald are peak pokemon games.
@@JesseLegend149 💯
Gen 2 music was better but agreed on everything else.
The first three gens are really burned into my memory! Yellow was my first game and first pokemon game, so I'll never forget that! Pokemon gold was the first game where I caught and used a legendary Pokemon! And sapphire was the first game where I kinda knew what I was doing 🤭 and the first game where I found (and learned about) a shiny! It was a lombre, right below fallarbor town. I named him Samba in anticipation of him evolving to ludicolo, but he never evolved because silly me never thought of using evolution stones 😂.
Tip; if you're looking for a dragon scale it's much easier to get them off of Bagon than horsea. It's the same chance for each, but encountering multiple Bagon is so much easier than horsea. Spent hours looking for one on horsea before I found out bagon have them too. It took 12 minutes after I went to meteor falls.
Great tip!
But still for a kingdra you need an even rarer item called friends
Bagon can only be found in a waterfall accessible area. Horsea just need surf and the super rod.
@@glam4663 yeah, but not everyone cares to get a kingdra for T&L and Juan. Personally if I'm going to have a kindgra on my team I'd like to raise Horsea up myself from earlier in the game (traded from another game)
So if you want to play with a kindgra for more than the end game you'll want to get the dragon scale in a different game and trade it over, and if you do that it's so much more efficient to just get waterfall and go covet some bagon. It takes less time to start a new game and get 8 badges and get to the waterfall room than it does to get a dragon scale from a horsea from the time you get to mossdeep for the super rod.
In Emerald Pickup was changed so Rare Candies are only obtained at level 21. But Zigzagoon in Route 119 are found at the twenties. Catch Six of them there!
But for R/S it can be any level so catch 6 Zigzagoon for an easy cheese
The most obscure thing I know about Hoenn is there are two unique seedots who are called 'Dots'. One is a trade in Rustboro, and the other is a contest opponent. I wonder if the translator forgot!
Learned this while playing pokemon Emerald. Not really a hidden tip/trick but pokemon heal if you toss them in the PC boxes. You just have to kind of drag and drop them in and then take them back out. I found using this method of healing was really helpful between the time frame of beating your dad, 5th gym, and transitioning into the 6th gym. This is the time before you get fly and you have to battle trainers by the berry master's place and up towards the weather tower and then deal with team magma/aqua. The weather tower has a PC box so instead of traveling back to heal at any Pokemon center, you could just do this instead. May save you a few minutes here or there. I still use this method of heal even in other pokemon games where Pokemon centers are scarce but PC boxes are plenty. Hopefully this advice helps somebody!
You can breed Pokemon that know TM moves if you accidentally used it.
Specifically there’s two ways: breeding with a compatible partner that already knows the move or simply breeding a male that knows the move with a compatible female that doesn’t. You can chain breed to allow a Pokemon to learn the move, so long as it falls within the same egg group link and isn’t Legendary/genderless.
I've been trying to do Solo Runs of Emerald with every single stage Pokemon (up to Wallace anyway) so let me share a trick I've learned in that journey:
1. Catching a teleport mon can be very useful for the middle of the game. Badges 3ish to 5ish involve a good deal of backtracking, and having a Teleport mon can help with this. You can teleport right back to Mauville after encountering the villainous team at Meteor Falls, or teleport to Fallarbor once you beat Maxie if you want Return ASAP, or Teleport to Rustboro as soon as you beat Flannery, or right to Mauville after beating Norman. You set your teleport spot to whichever Pokemon Center you entered last, so if you want to heal, use the PC at the Day Care on Route 117 or the house in the North of Route 111, and plan your Pokemon Center visits carefully, cause its easy to mindlessly walk into them as soon as you see them!
Great tip!
Fucking genius mate!
Thx 💯
what is a teleport mon??
@@Andreatuzze
A pokemon that has the move teleport like Abra or Ralts in RSE
What is a solo run?? 1 pokemon? Sounds dope any tips
I have some tips for speeding up the daily berry route.
As for how you want to plan your route, that's up to you and how many patches you want to visit, but the more you do, the more this method will save you time.
Typically you go to an area with berry trees growing in soft soil, and after collecting your berries in the area, you go to each individual tile and press A to open multiple text boxes.
'It's soft, loamy soil. Want to plant a BERRY?'
> Yes
(Menu pops up)
'[You] planted one [berry] in the soft, loamy soil.'
> Interacts again
'One [berry] was planted here.'
'Want to water the [berry] with the WAILMER PAIL?'
> Yes
'[You] watered the [berry].'
'The plant seems to be delighted.'
Per tile. This is PER TILE!
To save time, you can instead open the Start Menu, and go to the berries pouch. Because the menus have memory, the cursor and active bag slot are the same the next time you open the menu. Also the menus are pretty responsive!
In the berries pouch, you can select a berry and select 'USE'. Boom, done. As for the Wailmer Pail, you can register it to the Select Button. It saves so much time, and can easily be changed back to whatever you want later (eg, the Bicycle)
That's awesome!
I got super excited when I figured this out when I played! Makes a huge difference when you're trying to farm berries!
Holy Heck, I didn't know about this trick!
Woah
good one!
The fact that these games are so old and theres still so much stuff to talk about it 20 years later
Gen 3 best gen you earned a subscriber
there are 3 spots the newscaster trainer cycles everytime you beat them, its a double fight and gives a lot of exp and money, you can fight them infinitely if you know their spots, then after a ton of fights they might bug out and never teleport to another spot, when this happen, just change location/route and you can fight them again asap
I definitely used them to level up all of my Pokémon. Just using earthquake quick wins.
After 255 wins they’ll forever be in the first spot you find them above Mauville 👍🏼. Sounds like a lot but once they sit there you can just bike up the road to the other route then back down for insanely fast exp
This may be both a late and odd tip but still: Get the TM Sludge Bomb.
Why is this a tip?
It's a little weird to aquire:
Once you have beaten Norman, head to Dewford. Go into the Community Center and talk to the people. Once you have beaten Norman a NPC will give you Sludge Bomb.
And yes, that's unnecessarily hidden so most people don't know that they can aquire TM Sludge Bomb in this game at all.
Yeah this is a very good tip. I probably missed it for 4 or 5 playthroughs before I accidentally stumbled upon it.
Yeah, irealize it late already
3:50 Keep in mind that outside of battle effects only work in Pokémon Emerald and beyond, so Compound Eyes won't increase your odds of wild Pokémon holding items in Ruby and Sapphire.
Good point!
@@grumpygengar22what about Fire Red and Leaf Green
@@ryanedwards7645 lol
The secret bases are great for EV training or Leveling up. If you can swap data between two games you can have secret bases full of pokemon that increase the EV you want to train or you can have bases full of level 100 Blisseys. I forget how many secret bases can be swapped into Emerald.
Lel, basically had a racketeering scheme using Emerald:
EV train with bases -> clone Rare Candies and EV trained Pkmn en masse at Battle Tower -> migrate to 4 (and then 5) -> DS trades with all the kids at school 🤌
Awesome video!!! I learned a trick for Safari Zone, you don't need to walk in Safari Zone for catch Pokémon, you can use the move Sweet Scent, so you can find and catch pokémon without spending your steps :)
That's awesome! I always forget about Sweet Scent and usually write it off but it does have its uses.
Even better yet, using the acro bike to jump in one spot will also do the trick without constantly going into the menu
Haha that's what I did. I can never quite get the bike to work. I also remember rotating in place but I don't know if that actually not count for the steps.
@@nunyabiznes33 rotating didn't count as steps
@@AlwaysSleepy13 Exactly. It might take a little longer than just using Sweet Scent, but at least you don't have to keep a Pokemon around that knows it if it's not a part of your strategy.
Still to this day, I wish Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire had more Pokemon Emerald features.
Wdym?
not having battle frontier was a sin
As a Pokemon veteran from its fledgling days I'm happy you taught me something new about the day care and the way moves are learned! You've earned my subscription!
I mostly just used Thief as a means of training those early-game Abra. Its Special in Gen 3, so it will do some really decent damage with Abra's Special Attack that early in the game
This is the first video I've seen from your channel, and I really enjoyed watching.
I definitely had my memory jogged with a couple of bits and pieces, and learned about a lot of new trainers to steal items from!
Amazing video there's one more tip: "Leaving starter Pokemon unevolved"
Mudkip is not evolved learns hydro pump around the 40's.
Maybe the same thing works for Torchic and treecko.
Another one is heart scale farming can help learn level 1 moves.
Sableye is a guaranteed way of beating Brawly in sapphire He can't touch sableye.
Maybe you could've mentioned something about pokerus too.
In regards to Pickup, it's only in Emerald that the items are based on level, while in Ruby/Sapphire it's the same pool of items regardless of level
This is important to note because in Emerald your Zigzagoon need to be level 11 or higher to be able to pick up a King's Rock and level 21 for Rare Candies
Also worth noting that Lunatone is only available in Sapphire, so no Moonstone grinding if you are playing Ruby or Emerald
True!
Big fan of gen 3, yet I still learn new things about these games. I never knew about the Daycare HM removing. Always assumed it would keep the HM and delete the next move in the list. Thanks!
Pokemon with suction cups ability will help you catch pokemon that are fished up more easily. Not sure if it increases the catching odds or the encounter odds though.
That's an interesting secondary effect
You have mentioned the tips that I can come up with at the moment. There are always a few trainers in the Sootopolis gym who’s pokemon are holding a nugget. In RS there is a lady with a Seaking and in Emerald there are two trainers, one a lady with Seaking and a swimmer with two Luvdisc who are both holding a nugget.
But yeah Thief is a huge help and zigzagoon with pickup as well!
This was honestly an amazing video! Very well put together and I knew almost none of the information you shared in it 😮 especially considering 3rd gen is my favorite gen too, great work!
This was a great watch, I would have sworn that the badge boosts were only a gen 1 thing. After 20 years of playing these games I'm still learning new stuff
This is a really good video, alot of these tip videos tend to include the same tips and information, but your tips are unique and really useful!
I knew about nearly all of these tips, aside from Compound Eyes boosting the wild Pokémon's chance of holding an item. Cool video! 👍🏻
Doing a Saphire Nuzlock atm, and this was unbelievably helpful. Thanks 🎉
Awesome! Good luck with your run!
In ruby there’s no leveling up for nuggets and rare candies nuggets are 4% chance 1% for rare candies
Agreed! Though I favor Covet on account of it having a base 40 PP which can be boosted to 64; it definitely goes a lot further in Meteor falls or diving among seaweed (shard hunting), since you don't have Frisk to identify which pokémon are holding something and which aren't.
Damn 64 PP is actually crazy haha. I never thought it would go that high!
Excellent video! Wild how many of these I haven’t been taking advantage of despite several thousand hours of gameplay
I felt the same way for a long time haha
The berry tips will be incredibly useful!
Fascinating stuff!! Great vid
The Berry Master's wife would give you one piece of a certain Pokeblock berry by saying a phrase to her. Forgot the phrases and some of the berries but this is the only way to get your starting Pamtre (I used it to get Milotic). The Durin and Watmel if iirc correctly need you to have Latios and Latias in your dex, respectively since you need their name in the phrase.
Yeah the Pamtre berry is huge.
The last tip brings me back. I used that exact trick in Sapphire and a similar trick in FRLG using the arrow tiles in one of Team Rocket hideouts.
That's awesome! I'll have to remember that for FRLG when I get to those
It’s always cool to find out new things about the games I love
also outside of the move Thief. If you raise a skitty, it learns the move Covet, which works the exact same way
All my favourite things to do! I never did the rubber band and pen trick however!
Mate, this video may be the best Pokémon tip video I have seen so far. I was not expecting to learn anything game changing, after all I am very experienced with the game, with all 4 stars on my trainer card with hundreds of hours of game + am a top contributor on a Pokémon Facebook group.
Somehow I learned a lot! You have my gratitude, especially for the “grinding” move with the bike. All the best to you!
Awesome! I'm glad you found it helpful!
I've played Pokemon Emerald dozens of times since I was a kid and never knew about the gym badges stat boost, that blew my mind already
I always used the zigzagoon pickup for EV grinding. Fill your party with 5 of the little guys and your training pokemon in the front slot. Check every 3 or 4 battles and collect the rewards. By the time you are done you should have a nice pile of items.
If zigzagon is lvl 91+ it gives really good items
Idk if its a lesser known but your mom gives you the amulte coin after beating wattson i believe? If you go visit her she will have a unique dialogue and give you the held item which doubles the money you get after a trainer battle. So go put the amulet coin on your first pkmn in line, and rematch the hell outta lady cindy and rich boy
Ah, how did I miss it.
Thank you for reminding me about it.
Some good tips in here! I didn’t know the daycare always replaced the first move. I rarely used it because I was afraid it‘d delete all my good moves.
My Umbreon was useless after I left it in the daycare in XD…
Yeah it was a real game changer for me.
Wdym in XD there’s a move tutor in mt battle you Can relearn all the moves your Pokémon learned or forgot
Glad I saw this AFTER my ruby nuzlocke
I found a nugget with my Zigzagoon before the 1st gym in my Nuzlocke, I didn't know this was possible 😄
That last tip is very clever! Been playing Pokemon Emerald more than a decade now and that technique could save up my time instead of turning back and forth with my handheld just to make my pokemon level up in the daycare hahaha. I can still remember myself falling asleep doing it, eventually, draining my gameboy unattended. No saved progress equals efforts wasted.
Your editing has definitely improved and it really shows in this video.
Thank you!
I'm going to play through the original Hoenn games with my brother and his daughter, so these will be pretty helpful.
Awesome!
Late to the party but great video. Im in the process of transferring pokemon from emerald to omega ruby so these tips help alot.
An !!Extremely!! Important distinction to make about pickup is that in Emerald, pickup works differently than it does in Ruby and Sapphire.
In Emerald, the percent chance of finding specific items changes as a pickup Pokémon levels up, with the table of items you can find changing every ten levels. It is NOT like R/S, where there is a set list of items with set percentages that can be picked up. For example, a pickup Pokémon in Emerald can only pick up a King’s Rock starting at level 20, and it will not be able to pickup a Kings Rock after level 30 due to how the table changes. In R/S, picking up a Kings Rock is a 1% chance no matter what level the Pokémon is.
Sorry for the long comment, I didn’t see this anywhere in the comments and I thought this was an important distinction to make. Hope this helps someone!
I'm playing omega ruby again but none of my Pokémon are able to take king's Rock they are all level 40
I have
Gyarados lvl 49
Swampert lvl 45
Medicham lvl 44
Lairon lvl 41
Magneton lvl 40
Altaria lvl 40
And also have more Pokemons but no of them able to take this item 🤔
According to Bulbapedia, a level 90+ pickup has a 1% chance of picking up the TM for Earthquake. Neat!
@@hoilala48 but my Swampert learned Earthquake in omega ruby 😀✌️
@@hoilala48 This is great. Ocassionally I'll grind in Emerald with a CompoundEyes/Thief user (mine is Yanma) and a team of L100 Linoone (also with Thief).
I grind in the desert, where Sandshrew can hold Quick Claw, Trapinch can hold Soft Sand, and Cacnea can hold Poison Barb.
They steal items decently often with CompoundEyes but the 5 Linoone are picking up items all the time too. You can heal at the woman in the house to the North.
It's nice because you're paying more attention to the Wild Encounters you're stealing from, so when you get Leftovers or TM26 Earthquake it's a pleasant surprise you weren't expecting.
this video really made me want to replay emerald, I want to make an playthrough around beating each major fight with as little resistance as possible using every tool avilable. Early guts swellow and late Choarcoal + flamethrower tm + low hp torchic sounds like an good combo
Raising Pokemon in the daycare can be pretty expensive, but now knowing that we can take advantage of the 1% that should not be a problem.
Lollll I remember doing the last one with the acro bike and leaving my Game Boy on overnight, leveled up my Pokemon sooo fast
I actually knew about the badges' boost and got into all tutor moves on my first playthoroughs.
However I had no idea that Zigzagoon could get me a King's Rock so early.
Another obscure tip is to not only use Pokecubes onto rising, but also to capture on the Safari zone, as the cubes give you better chance of capture if the Pokemon has a good base stat on said characteristic.
If you make sure to fight every trainer in every route including the sea ones after you get surf, you really don't have to do hardly any grinding in these games. How many pokémon are you trying to raise at one time? That might have something to do with it
If you're using a consistent team of 6 I totally agree, it's quite balanced in that way. I tend to use completely different teams depending on the next major fight, so this helps a lot, particularly when training for the Pokemon league
That bit about the daycare at the end was very interesting. Might try that sometime if i'm feeling evil
The Pokeblock feeders in the Safari Zone lock your encounters to Pokemon that like that Pokeblock's flavor. Can't remember if it works on Pokemon encountered via Sweet Scent and if it interacts with Synchronize.
That one is really interesting! I wonder how applicable that is in Nuzlockes.
I saw some of your recent TH-cam shorts covering these facts like the move deleter one in particular before I saw this video pop up in my recommended, so when you got to things like that I was like "Wait a minute did this guy just word for word take someone else's clip?" And then I checked my history and it was uploaded by you lol. Good video, genuinely quite informativeu
Thank you haha
Waiting for my 4 year old daughter to be able to read well enough to enjoy this masterpiece.
Started playing GBA Pokemon when I was 7, I'm 27 now :)
I'm in the same boat with my 2 year old son! Can't wait for him to be old enough to try them out
Make sure to expose them to this before the newer adventure games like Zelda. I was on my way to training up a future hall of famer but that Tears of the Kingdom is like crack. lol
i was 5 when i got pokemon blue. didn't fully understand everything i was reading but it was enough to progress through the game 😅i pretty much learned how to read from my pokemon and ocarina of time game guides. Prima game guides were the best
That HM daycare tip is hella useful.
This video was a god send. Thank you
EXCELLENT VIDEO!! I LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED
I learnt alot from this video good job
For thief it’s awesome using it in HG/SS on koga’s muk with the mold breaker ability and you can steal his black sludge
A very high level pokemon with "pick up" has a chance to obtain rare candy, and a couple of unpurchasable TMs (such as Earthquake). I made a habit of keeping my 2 max level Linoone's in party, when I run around in the world.
The badge boost thing I knew, it's there is the instruction manual.
Me and my dad once sat down trying to translate since I didn't spoke english.
Also that happens in gen 2, that's litetally the only reward for beating Jasmine
I have a full team with the ability pick up so every like 5 minutes of running around my entire party will be holding items like rare candys and I’ll take them and just keep walking around letting my Pokémon pick up items for me to use & sell 😂
Awesome tips, thank's
That AFK method also works for hatching eggs, though it only gets you to when the first one hatches. Having a Slugma (or other Flame Body or Magma Armor poke) anywhere in your party also speeds up eggs, but only from Emerald onward. Same exact thing works in Sinnoh too. Unova and Kalos not as much, but they have unobstructed circles you can go around endlessly by holding a single direction in the subway station and Lumiose.
Additional Compoundeyes tip: The Compoundeyes poke only has to be in slot 1. The effect still works if it's fainted, so you can have Thief on something else and not need to switch. Though beginning in gen 4 there's an additional tactic: faint the Compoundeyes poke and then have something with Frisk and Thief in slot 2. This way you get items more often, and then as soon as you enter a battle it tells you if there's an item to steal.
We're making it out alive of Hoenn with this one 🗣️🔥
Broo you remind me of Jwittz from when i was younger, thank you ❤️
Ahhh, nostalgia. I love everything about these games. The graphics, the vibrant atmosphere, the elegant simplicity of it all. S/G and HG/SS will always be my favorite games but these games are forever treasures. 💯
Amazing video like usual
:D
There was a house in Gen 1 that had an npc that would tell you what each badge gave as a bonus. I always thought it was just in that game but maybe it's in every game? Or maybe at least up til gen 4 or 5
Good tips video, I definitely didn't know some of these. I also noticed your editing in this video was a lot more dynamic. Hopefully no spoilers on the Winona fight lol
I can't believe TH-cam recommended this video to me literally the day after I finished my Emerald run
Yoooo badger here giving pokemon facts, I love it
Thanks for the tips! I'll have something new to do when I play Emerald today.
Man i remember doing the daycare hack and waking up in the morning to find lvl 100 pokemons 😂😂 good ol days 😂😂
Thief is so underrated in older Pokemon games. I remember spending hours in Platinum trying to steal a Lucky Egg from wild Chansey.
Lmao that badge one is hilarious I had no idea
Something I've never seen mentioned anywhere. Apparently, by my account, Latias can appear from talking to trainers/one specific trainer (a nod to the movie where she could transform into humans). East of Mauville city i had one battle me after talking to that flower girl.
11:54 Seems to be fairly useful for breeding too.
Definitely!
Woah. The Day Care , first slot move replacement just blew mind
Lol. And the runer band trick is hilarious. I will put this to great use
Great video!
The HM daycare trick is SO good
If you have a friend or another copy of the game you can have a full team of level 100 blisseys to get max exp per battle possible with secret bases.
I've set up 8 Blissey bases and a Keckleon base for testing Hidden Power. I've been meaning to set up EV-Training bases too, but that's on hold for me until I redo them all.
My Blissey bases were set up with no cheats/glitches/exploits but I have 17 bases in total and some of them were created on Save files that got just far enough in the game to make the secret base before being erased.
Now that I have access to external tooling/cheating, I want to rearrange where my bases are placed, improve on the decorations within them, standardize the levels of my battling teams, and recreate FRLG teams and teams that were lost to time.
Great tips!
Zigzagoon party for Pickup was the best. Just Rare Candy so many Pokémon up after a bit. Just kept Mudkip as my primary Pokémon and just blitzed through everything. Plus Zigzagoon / Linoone learns most of the useful HM's. Think you're just missing out on Fly, Watefall, Dive and Flash?
Had Sapphire, so would thief the Lunatone a lot. Trade with my brothers for Solrock's Sun Stones.
I used to do something similar. Back in the day, I beat Sapphire with just a Torchic and a team of Zigzagoon at least 3 times. By the time you get to the 8th Gym it's already in the low-to-mid 70s and you have around 25 Rare Candies, so it's very possible to have a Level 100 starter going into the 8th Gym.
Nice video bro 😎
Great tips
You forgot to talk about the secret base on the moon
What route is that?
I didn't use TM Thief, but I used a Delcatty which learned Covet.
Same thing. She steal your opponent pokemon's held item. I used to battle rich boy or lady. Stole some nuggets and cashed them out.
Yep, and Covet is just better too because it has a ton more PP when compared to Thief
Awesome video!
I love Thief. In Alpha Sapphire, I use it to steal; Heart Scales from Luvdisc, and Oran Berries from Gulpin. And in one occasion, Wide Lens from Sableye. Why waste my time getting 48 BP at the Battle Resort when I can just steal one from Sableye, I managed to steal 3 of em and gave them to my Dialga for its Roar of Time and my Palkia's Spacial Rend. So satisfying not having those moves miss half the time.
Very cool! Didn't realize you could get Wide Lens from Sableye. Learning something new every day!
@@grumpygengar22 Yup! I thought it was cool getting the Wide Lens by other means, I immediately grabbed my Krookodile that knows Thief and went to the Ganite Cave to steal some Wide Lens lol
There’s actually one more npc that gives a free berry everyday. At the north-most part of Route 111, there’s a girl by a couple of dirt patches that gives you the free berry. It makes 10 free berries a day.
I'll have to check that out
