Pokemon Farming: Growlithe

December 17, 2007

Tonight, warm up this fire puppy, Growlithe!

**ANNOUNCEMENT! READ THIS!**
I, you’re trusty farmer Tot, had something urgent come up for Wednesday and I have to move the Growlithe Event to Thursday the 20th at the same time. This was a last-resort for me, as I know we all have plans that change from day to day, and I am really sorry. I will make it up and attach a heart scale to each one (legit, I am an underground treasure hunter!)! Take this to the move re-learner after you’ve evolved Growlithe to Arcanine to learn Thunder Fang!

Again: Event time has change to Thursday the 20th at 7pm ET

**READ ANNOUNCEMENT ABOVE!**

Growlithe, and its fire stone induced evolution, Arcanine, are fire-types from the 1st generation games. These ‘dogs of fire’ can cause quite some damage! Arcanine is so majestic even, that it is classified as ‘Legendary Pokemon’ (In name only, not in competitive battle!) To obtain one of these puppies in Diamond/Pearl, you have to hunt him down with a FireRed game inserted, which can make him a little difficult to come across, but tonight, I’ll be glad to give you one!

I had some challenges with breeding this guy up, I wanted to give him Extremespeed and Thunder Fang, but these moves he can only learn after evolving. That Thunder Fang would come in handy, too, for those water-types! I wouldn’t have my feelings hurt if you taught it these moves after evolving it. Instead I whipped up this move set for the Growlithes Ill be handing out:

  • Crunch (Dark) Attack 80
  • Heat Wave (Fire) Attack 100 STAB
  • Flame Thrower (Fire) Attack 95 STAB
  • Double-Edge (Normal) Attack 120 (user takes some recoil)

These Growlithes come with two abilities; Intimidate, which lowers opponents attack upon entering battle, and Flash Fire, which when user is hit by a fire move, it becomes immune to fire attacks and when it uses Fire attacks, their power is multiplied by 1.5.

Why warm up by the fire place for the holidays, when you can heat up with one of these fire puppies? Want one? Here’s what you do:

  • Comment with your Name and Friend Code
    • Even if we have traded before, I need your information again!
  • Get a Pokemon to trade (preferably non-Sinnoh, though I will take anything, items are always appreciated!)
  • Be in the Wi-Fi zone at 7pm ET (New York time) on December 20 (Thursday)
  • 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!

My Information:

Trainer name: God

Friend Code: 5369 6895 7194

See everyone Thursday Night! If this does not work for you, I will be more than glad to try to meet up at later time, just ask!

I’d like a growlithe, but I don’t know if i’ll be home from work by seven )=
Would there still be time to get one an hour? Maybe an hour and a half later?

I might not be able to make it to the trade but I might if you’re on earlier. If I don’t make it can I get a growlithe some other time?

Is it possible for me to get a male with intimidate. Preferably one with a bashful, hardy, docile, quirky or serious nature. Thanks a lot.

Just so everyone knows, I have enough heart scales to give to everyone I have signed up to this point, but I cannot guarantee if you sign up after this that you will get one, but every one WILL have some sort of desirable item.

Alright, I’ll be on in a minute for trading! Yay! I do, for the first time ever, have more requests than spaces on my palpad, so if you were some of the last to sign up I’ll put you on the palpad as soon as I can! I have enough for everyone, no worries! If you sign up after this message, again, give me a few minutes to add you to my palpad. See you all soon!

Alright everyone, I’m calling it a night. Trading went smoothly and as usual I missed a few of you! Check out our forums

http://forum.pokefarm.com

And check under ‘missed farming events’ and we’ll be glad to help get you one. Our forums are also really great for general trades and battles, we even have gyms and farms for more great pokes. It’s a lot of fun!

And thanks again to everyone for the trades today, very generous indeed! It will be a good Holiday for me! :) Happy Holidays to everyone! See you next time!
