    When people years ago said breeding for good pokemon is addictive I did not believe them. But after returning to Emerald, I have spent 160+ hours breeding several battle frontier worthy pokémon. I think I'm now going to stop and actually try some of my teams out though lol. Just finished breeding a decent enough snorlax. Time to ev train and then onto the battle frontier!

  • @federicoroberti9895

    I wanted to say that it is not true that the eggmoves owned by the male who is at the pkmn guesthouse are always transferred. For example, when the pokemon is already almost full with moves, for example it has two or three to transfer (it happened to me that not all three were transmitted but only two, however I could be wrong and confused), by leveling up the guesthouse becomes a move deleter... so after a while you will have to remember to collect it and order the moves so that the affected eggmove is at the bottom of the list of 4 moves, return it to the board and the next move learned by the pkmn will go into the slot in bottom, and the affected eggmove will move up to the third slot... repeat the process by picking it up and returning it to the guesthouse to keep the eggmove always present in its move list. I also wanted to add the explanation of the iv calculation copied and pasted from Pokemon Central Wiki: Third generation In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed and LeafGreen, a total of 3 IVs are inherited from both parents. Each parent can provide 0 to 3 IVs, and the rest are provided by the other: the rest of the statistics are random. In Emerald the process is more complicated: A random IV from a random parent is passed on to the child. Another IV that is not from the PS is transmitted: if the statistic is the same as in the previous step, regardless of the parent it came from, the new value overwrites the old one. A last IV that is not HP or Defense is transmitted: if the statistic is the same as in one of the previous steps the old value is overwritten. The rest of the stats (3 to 5) are random.

    Same goes for FRLG: while I was breeding my Pokemon learned parents old moves until I took them back. Then they started learning recent ones, so it's best to either keep serebii/bulbapedia open or breed high level parents with all necessary moves already learned

    @@KingKoral That's what I do. Pretty much I keep an empty slot open if it's not a full list of moves to breed and won't always level up to the max before breeding. Am I gonna level a magmar parent until 59 for fireblast to be out of the way? Hell no. I keep an eye on levels in regards to moves learned and delete along the way.

    Fun little fact you can face real player teams controlled by AI at the Battle Tower when you mix records. I feel like barely anyone knows about this feature 😅 "On occasion, the recorded players may be placed with the exact team, moveset, and stats in the spot they lost in the Battle Tower. For example, if the recorded player broke their streak and lost at the 45th battle, it is possible that the player will be able to fight the recorded player at the 45th battle."

    Just started trying to EV train a decent IV Dratini I got from the Games Corner after resetting a bunch of times and calculating IVs until getting one I liked, I looked online about EV training and found one guide which advised using the VS Seeker around specific trainers, I did this for a while but my Dratini wasn’t strong enough to efficiently take out the trainers two Pokemon, it was taking like 4 mins per encounter, so instead I decided I would stop this method and instead I’ll just continue progressing through the story (currently just beat 4th gym in fire Red) and every time I start a new trainer battle, mostly team rocket grunts atm, I check what EVs they yield when defeated, and then I sub in my Dratini when the opponent Pokemon yields EVs which I want (attack as it’s my highest IV and visible stat, and special attack even though Dragonite is a physical attacker, special attack is my 2nd highest IV and visible stat, and my hope is that will boost STAB attacks as dragon type moves are special. This is my theory at least, based on the mounds of information I’ve tried to take in over the last few days haha. It’s so confusing though, there are so many layers to Pokemon stats, and special vs physical was confusing too, like I thought Dratini was a physical attacker, so I assumed physical moves are the best, but then I learn that even though Dratini is physical, it’s also dragon type which is special, NOT physical, which gave me the idea to exploit the high attack/high sp attack IVs of the Dratini I’ve got, and turn it into an absolute dps god for both physical and special type attacks, with the extra boost from STAB moves being special. Sorry for getting carried away writing all this, probably just over enthusiastic haha I’d love your opinion on my Dratini plan though if you happen to see my comment! Thanks dude, really loving your videos!

    So much respect brother I only ever played sapphire and emerald as a kid, as an adult I decided I wave experience early Pokemon games in chronological order, my plan is to play up to BW2 starting with FR as my first gen 1 experience. Now I’m not a kid anymore I want to try optimise my playthrough, so I’ve only just started dipping my toes into things like IVs, EVs etc, it’s pretty overwhelming, there’s so damn much information to learn, but your videos feel like such a good companion to watch as you’re playing from a very similar angle of just wanting to play the games to their faaarthest limit and create a save file which belongs in a damn museum (seriously though, amazing work with all those shinies!!) I’ve only just discovered your channel but I’m hoping you might have some more informational content on FRLG, I’ll watch through the playlist!
