Haunted Halloween Farming: Dreadful Drifloon

October 21, 2009

It was a cold, dark night
And in a dainty bedroom,
One boy would come face-to-face
With his untimely doom.

As the boy slept in bed,
He was tossing and turning;
He awoke with a fright
To find a bed that was burning.

The flames licked his bedposts
And caused him to sweat;
But the worst part of the nightmare
Hadn’t happened yet.

Something small touched his forehead,
And he looked up to see
A small, purple Pokémon
Staring back spookily.

Its arms pressed to the boy’s face,
He had no choice but to stay;
He sank back to his pillow
As consciousness faded away.

As he took to his dreams,
More Pokémon came through his door;
They pulled him out of bed
And dropped him onto the floor.

Awakened, he quaked in fright
As the nightmare progressed;
Shadows rose from all sides
Revealing more guests.

The Drifloon closed in
Blocking all else from view;
The boy stared wide-eyed
Knowing he was through.

“It’s all right,” said a voice,
“You have nothing to fear.
Just close your eyes now,
For the end is near.”

Each Drifloon has a Modest (+SpAtk, -Atk) nature. They will all have these moves:

Calm Mind (Psychic, Power – , Acc. –%)
Drifloon calms down and raises both its Special Attack and Special Defense.
Rest (Psychic, Power – , Acc. –%)
Drifloon sleeps soundly, fully restoring its HP.
Shadow Ball (Ghost STAB, Power 80 , Acc. 100%)
Drifloon attacks the foe into submission with this STAB, high-powered move.
Will-O-Wisp (Fire, Power – , Acc. 75%)
Drifloon produces a glowing flame and burns its opponent.

While not all Drifloon have a 31 IV stat, many have multiple stats that are above 25. Also, all are being nicknamed after different ghosts, so please don’t request a nickname.

Rules:

  • Be in the Wi-Fi zone at 7:30pm Eastern (4:30pm Pacific), on October 24th, 2009. (If you need it, here’s a timezone converter.) I plan to be online for trades for approximately two hours.
  • Comment with your Name and Friend Code.
  • Get a Pokémon to trade. I have no preference as to what it is as long as they aren’t Eggs.
  • Make yourself available to Trade (invite->Trade). I will come to you when I am ready.
  • Items (Rare Candies, Heart Scales, Shards, Nuggets, or TMs) are very appreciated but not required.
  • Only one Drifloon per person, please.

The Friend Code for this event is:
Trainer Name: Kurt
Trainer FC: 2921 5817 5274

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!

Happy Halloween!

Sadly work seems to love changing my schedule at the last minute.
Would there be any way we could negotiate a time ( other than the time specified) in which we could trade(On your time of course).
It would be much appreciated.
I apologize for the inconvenience

There should be plenty available after the event–I’ll be creating a forum farm event on the forum. Also, they all have nicknames already, as was stated in the article.

All right! I’m heading into Wi-Fi now–if you’re around, feel free to head in. I plan to be online for the next two hours or so, so if you haven’t left your FC yet, please comment with it and I’ll add it to my Pal Pad.

I’d like to request as a common courtesy that you leave Voice Chat off while trading. This can be done by pressing X in the Wi-Fi room. Thanks!

I hope to see all of you in trades soon!
Kurt

Go to Key Items and access your Pal Pad. Register my Friend Code:
Kurt 2921 5817 5274
Then, go downstairs in the Pokemon Center to the Wi-Fi Room. Connect (all you have to do essentially is press A a few times), and select Invite->Trade. :D Hope that helps!

Ack…we seem to be having some trouble connecting. If you have a firewall up, could you attempt to turn it off, please? That may be the problem. Let me know the error code you’re getting so that I may be able to help, or try setting up the trade yourself as I explained a couple posts above. :)
