Haunted Halloween Farming: Spiritomb
October 23, 2008
Curse of the Spiritomb
“Don’t go in the temple.” the villagers warned. “There is an ancient curse that plague all those who enter”
“Ha! Ancient curses are a lot mumbo jumbo,” I thought to myself. After all, I don’t pay much attention to those superstitions.
After months of digging underground in the nearby tunnels I came across an Odd Keystone and after careful scrutiny, I was able to determine that it was the missing piece to unlock the secrets of the ancient temple. I cautiously placed the Odd Keystone on the temple’s dilapidated altar table and waited to see what would happen.
Slowly the table began to sink into the floor and a loud rumbling sound came from behind me as the wall of the temple moved to reveal a hidden passageway. I crept stealthily through the dusty passage using my torch to knock down the massive network of sticky webs left there by grossly enormous spiders. Finally I came to the end of the hidden path and entered a large open area where the object of my quest waited for me.
It was Spiritomb, the forbidden pokemon. This dark, ghostly spirit glowed menacingly in the middle of the room and immediately I felt the Pressure of his presence. I noticed every move that I made took twice the effort (and PP) than before.
A Will-o-wisp of fire burst from him igniting the torches placed around the chamber and the searing heat burned me and cut my attack in half. Normal and fighting moves had no effect on the ghostly beast and his dark nature made him immune to any Psychic attacks that I might utilize. In fact, due to its typing, there are no super-effective moves to try a deal with this phantasm quickly and my burn was slowly and steadily sapping my own HP.
The Dark Pulse (Dark, STAB, Power 80, Acc 100) emanating from him caused even more damage to me, which also made me flinch 20% of the time. I was gradually lowering his HP, but mine was getting dangerously low.
Luckily, I had some MooMoo Milk to drink to replenish my loss. To my surprise the Spiritomb used Pain Split and used my HP gain to his advantage. It was as if our HPs were added together and shared equally.
I was running out of time, but speed was to my advantage for the Spiritomb was relatively slow in his movements. Just as I was sure I had the upper hand, a Shadow Sneak (Ghost, STAB Power 40, Acc 100) hit me before I could move. I finally threw a dusk ball from my pack and watched the specter roll back and forth in the ball until it came quietly to rest.
When I showed the villagers the pokemon that they had all came to fear, they rewarded me with a strange berry they had found in the jungle. They said it was the rare and elusive Enigma Berry and when I asked what it did they told me that it increases your HP if you are hit by a super-effective attack.
“But never give it to a Spiritomb,” they laughed forebodingly. “It will do no good, for no attacks are super-effective against the curse of the temple.
If you wish to be haunted by this ancient curse, you don’t need to toil in the underground and face the dangers of the temple. Just meet me in the wifi room on Friday, October 24 at 8 pm Eastern (5 PM Pacific) and you will receive your very own Spiritomb holding an Enigma berry. I don’t really need anything in return but I do appreciate any item or berry that you will trade to me.
My FC is:
Will
4940 7201 1978

Could you nickname one Crypt? Any Pokemon you are looking for specifically for your next event? I happened to get an Odd Keystone in the Underground recently, but obviously don’t have anyone in the area who also has the game to even get the first Spiritomb. Would you like my spare Odd Keystone or would you still prefer a Rare Candy or Heart Scale?
from the choice fo 3, Rare Candy would be nice.
kindly provide your FC. thanks.
Knew I forgot something.
