Surprise Pokemon Farming!

Pikachu is the classic staple of pokemon. Everyone who knows of pokemon knows pikachu. While these little guys are just the babies of Pikachu and Raichu they will grow up to be more powerful than Ash’s Pikachu could ever dream. Sure, Ash’s pikachu has volt tackle but so do these guys. Ash’s pikachu has iron tail these little fellows have Grass Knot. These pichu are indeed a force to be reckoned with. The Pichus I’m adopting out today are hasty(speed+, defense-), and have the following move set:

  • Wish: A healing move that takes effect on the next turn. Using it is all a matter of timing.
  • Thunderbolt: A powerful STAB attack, if you’re opponent thinks about sending in a Water type, this will rip a hole in them.
  • Grassknot: Take out those hefty ground types always looking to ruin your day.
  • Volt Tackle: A powerful physical attack only the electric mouse can learn.

These pichu have the ability:

Static: Chance of paralyzing opponent if it makes physical contact with pichu.

All Pichu will hold:

Hold Item: Light Ball, doubles pikachus special attack. Needed to farm pichus with volt tackle. (all lovingly farmed from wild pikachus)

Rules:

Post your name and FC (even if we’ve traded before I will need it again)

Only1 Pokémon per person
This is on the first come first serve basis.
I only have 30 so get one while you can! After this there will be no leftovers.

Please do not trade me eggs
Be in the Wi-Fi zone at 6:30pm(EST), on August 26th TODAY!
Make yourself available to Trade (Invite–>Trade) I will come to you when I’m ready.
Items(heart scales, rare candies, TMs) are very appreciated but not required.

August 15, 2008 | 20 Comments

If you are like me, then you have been going crazy to see what may be in the new pokemon platinum. Well in Japan they finally released this video.

I have to say it looks absolutely amazing. It’s not simply a rehash of diamond or pearl but it borders a whole new game. From the contests to the battle mechanics everything seems to have been kicked up a notch.

Pokemon Farming: Swinub!

August 10, 2008 | 41 Comments

August 12, 2008

Continuing our “Winter in August” this week, I bring you Swinub. Swinub’s an odd little piglet of the ice and ground typing. In fact, it and it’s evolutions are the only pokemon who are immune to Sand Storm’s and Hail, making them great choices if you’re planing on building either weather team. Swinub evolves into Piloswine at level 33, and if you teach it Ancient Power it will evolve into the Mamoswine. Mamoswine is not only a behemoth in size, it’s attack tops off at a beastly 394, it ties with Garchomp and Breloom in terms of attack strength. Of course since it has access to Ice Shard, it can destroy both aforementioned pokemon before they can scratch it. So, the Swinub I’m adopting out today are adamant(attack+, sp. attack-), with max attack IVs and the following move set:

Ice Shard: A STABed priority attack, if D-dance or Scarfed dragons are giving you problem, this attack will solve your problems.

Earthquake: A powerful secondary STAB attack, if you’re opponent thinks about sending in a Bulky Water type, this will rip a hole in them. If you want to have some more fun, slap a choice band on this guy.

Curse: This move raises your attack and def, hopefully giving Mamoswine more play time and powering it’s attacks up further.

Body Slam: A decently powered physical attack, with a 30% chance of paralyzing your foe, making them as slow as you after the curse.

These Swinub have two abilities:

Oblivious: Prevents the pokemon from be affected by the attract condition.

Snow Cloak: Raises it’s evasiveness by one level in a snow storm.

Rules:

Post your name and FC (even if we’ve traded before I will need it again)

Only1 Pokémon per person
If you prefer a particular gender or ability tell me, this is on the first come first serve basis.
Please do not trade me eggs
Be in the Wi-Fi zone at 2pm(PST), on August 12th
Make yourself available to Trade (Invite–>Trade) I will come to you when I’m ready.
Iitems(rare candies or water stones) are very appreciated but not required.

Pokemon Farming: Delibird

August 10, 2008 | 74 Comments

Continuing our Winter in August theme, I bring you shiny Delibird!

Now, to get this out of the way, these Delibird are in no way hacked or cloned, each is one of a kind!  Delibird are one of several daily swarms you can get in D/P, and they’re all obtained though chaining for shinies. I love to chain, and I’ve been looking for a good reason to do it, so here we are!

Tonight, I have 28 Purple Delibird to hand out! I gave them a few TMs so that they have a little extra something than the only move it has in the wild-Present (amulet coin+vs seeker=$$), so here are its moves:

  • Present - Att?? Accuracy 90% A gift in the form of a bomb, can restore your opponents HP.
  • Ice Beam -Att 95 Accuracy 100% STAB
  • Blizzard -Att 120 Accuracy 75% STAB

They either have the ability Vital Spirit, which makes him never under the ’sleep’ condition, and Hustle, which gives physical attacks 1.5 times the power, but reduces the accuracy to 80%.

All shiny Delibird will also have some sort of item as a present!

So you want a Purple Penguin? Heres the rules:

  • Sign up with your name and friend code down below in the comments-first come, first serve!
  • First time commenting here? All first time comments are moderated and will not show on the site immediately! We will get them through as soon as we can.
  • Please only ask for one. After 28 requests, I have no more to give!
  • You can choose a gender and/or an ability, but I can’t guarantee that you will get it-you cannot request nature.
  • You may ask for a nickname, but be prepared to wait extra time!
  • I don’t need anything in return, but if you have a Gulpin I wouldn’t turn it down :D
  • You have two hours to pick it up from now (6pm New York Eastern Time), I wont reserve it for you after that.
  • If there are leftovers, I will be offering them in our forums, do not ask for leftovers in the forums unless I offer them.

Instructions:
Enter my name and friend code
Tot    FC 0602-6974-2308 (i’ll be around tonight for two hours!)
Jump on wifi and select “Invite>Trade”
Receive Delibird!

Hope tonight goes smoothly! Say, did anyone ever play Delibird Delivery on Pokemon Stadium 2 for 64? I did! I loved that minigame!

Pokémon Farming: Snover!

August 7, 2008 | 44 Comments

August 8, 2008

As we kick off our special “Winter in August” event here at Pokefarm, what better way to start than with the Pokémon that brings winter with him wherever he goes?

Snover is “can do” little Pokémon with the odd typing of Grass and Ice. While their speed is nothing to write home about, their offensive options are impressive despite a limited move selection. Their Snow Warning power creates a massive hail storm on the field with their first appearance that will never wind down of it’s own accord. With a fierce selection of attacks on both the physical and special end of the spectrum Snover and his Evolution Abomasnow can put a big dent in just about anyone if they get a chance to act.

These Snover are mixed sweepers with a variety of powerful physical and special attacks. While these mixed sweepers come in a random assortment of natures, all have a 31 IV in speed. As a mixed attacker appreciates just about any of their stats, all will be holding a Starf Berry (which boosts a random stat when Snover drops to 1/4 HP).

Their move sets are as follows:

Blizzard: With a mighty 120 power, and hitting both opponents in a double battle but not affecting your side, Blizzard takes it’s place among the most powerful attacks in the game. It’s normally rather lackluster 70 accuracy is wiped away in Snover’s Hail, not only making Blizzard automatically hit but also giving Snover a roughly 25% chance of hitting through Protect or Detect! You really don’t want to get attacked with a Auto-hitting, STABed Blizzard!

Wood Hammer: A strong special attack like Blizzard may give people the idea to bring a Pokémon with a good special defense to resist it. If they try it, you can hit them with Wood Hammer. With 120 power and 100 accuracy Wood Hammer’s powerful physical damage really packs a wallop. Just be careful as Snover takes backlash when he connects.

Ice Shard: One of Snover’s main weaknesses is his lackluster speed. With Ice Shard you will have attack priority to get those hits before your opponent has a chance to try anything funny.

Protect: Snover’s other main problem are all the type weaknesses he picks up from his Grass/Ice typing. With Protect you can scout out your opponent in relative safety for a round while the hail picks away at them.

Rules:
Post your name and FC (even if we’ve traded before I will need it again)
Only 1 Pokémon per person
If you prefer a particular gender tell me, this is on the first come first serve basis.
Get a Pokémon to trade (No eggs, though I will take anything and any Pokémon, items like Rare Candies, TMs, and Heart Scales are always appreciated!)
Be in the Wi-Fi zone at 5pm(CST) Friday, August 8th.
Make yourself available to Trade (Invite–>Trade) I will come to you when I’m ready.
If you are new to our site, your first comment will be moderated. Don’t worry if your post doesn’t show, we will get to it in time, and you will not miss out!
