Haunted Halloween Farming: Dreadful Drifloon

October 21, 2009 | 73 Comments

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.

Haunted Halloween Farming: Rotom

October 29, 2008 | 64 Comments

Rotom

I was watching TV late one night and all of a sudden weird things started happening.

CRASH

“What in the world was that,” I muttered to myself as I went outside to see if there was any damage. “A Thunderbolt (Electric STAB, Power 95, Acc 100) must have hit the house.”
When I returned in the house I noticed the television was showing nothing but static. “Turn the TV off boys and go to bed. The lightning must have knocked out the cable.”
“They’re here,” the boys replied in unison.
“What are talking about? Now shut off that TV, it’s only static anyhow.”
“The Rotoms are here,” they eerily replied.
Just then a Shadow Ball (Ghost, STAB, Power 80, Acc 100) whizzed by my head. “What in the …, it’s a good thing that didn’t hit me or it could have lowered my Special Defenses.”
Suddenly the fan whirred to life behind me. I walked into the kitchen to turn it off when the refrigerator doors suddenly flew open. I quickly backed up only to have the oven flash on and open its door.
“I know how to take care of electricity. I’ll just ground it.”
“It won’t work,” the boys replied, “Rotoms have the ability to Levitate and are immune to ground attacks.”
“What sort of Hidden Power is causing this,” I wondered aloud. I grabbed the boys and ran out the back only to be greeted by the washing machine starting on its own. As we were leaving the house I heard the Dark Pulse (Dark, Power 80, Acc 100) of the lawn mower roaring to life and we hurried away from the house as fast as we could. Looking back at the flashing lights within the house, even though I have a Modest (+ SpAtt, -Att) nature, I thought to myself, “Man that paint job sure makes the house look better.”

When we returned the next day the house appeared normal. No mysterious appliances running amok.
“Where are they boys? Can you tell?”, I asked.
“They’ve gone into the wifi. But they’ll be back”
“When?”
Thursday, October 30th at 4-6 PM CST (5-7 PM Eastern, 2-4 PM Pacific time, 9PM British)

If you have a unearthly desire to see these shocking sights for yourself, be in the wifi room to receive your very own Rotom holding a special Halloween treat.

Haunted Halloween Farming: Spiritomb

October 23, 2008 | 50 Comments

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

I will also be available for one hour to distribute during the morning from 8:30 AM Eastern time (4:30 PM British Summer Time) on Oct.24 for those of you with a different time zone. Please request this in your post.

Haunted Halloween Farming: Mismagius

October 20, 2008 | 32 Comments

EEEEEEEEEEEEK!
The shrill screech reverberated throughout the forest
As I called back my fainted Starmie, nana nettie’s words of warning echoed in my mind. “Be careful in the forest. There are a lot of hazards there, Spikes, Stealth Rock, Toxic Spikes and plant pokémon that will Wrap you and Leech Seed away all your HP.”
I remembered chuckling and reassuring her that I had my team of Rapid Spinners and I was only going into the forest for a little while to look for mushrooms and rare berries and for her not to worry. The Shadow Ball (Ghost, STAB Power 80, Acc 100) came out of the darkness of the forest and hit my Starmie before I could do anything but rapid spin the first hazard.
I tried to keep a Calm Mind (raises both Special Attack and Special Defense one stage, 50%), but I could sense its ghostly presence even before the next screech rung through the forest. I called out my Tentacruel knowing that it could knock away the Toxic Spikes before me but as soon as it showed up a Psychic (Psychic, Power 90, Acc 100) attack knocked it down and lowered its special defense.
I called on my Blastoise only to have it struck by a Thunderbolt (Electric, Power 95, Acc 100). I knew my Kabutops or Cloyster would not fare much better. Hitmontop would not survive a psychic attack nor would my Claydoll be able to absorb a Shadow Ball from this malevolent being.
I was left with only one spinner, my trusty Donphan. Its rapid spinning had no effect on this Ghostly specter so I commanded him to let loose one of his powerful Earthquakes. To my surprise it had no effect on it either. The being seemed to Levitate in midair.
It apparated before me to finally reveal itself to be a Misdreavus and it cackled another screech and said “Not be Modest (+ SpAttack, -Attack) but if I could only get a Dusk Stone, I could then learn Energy Ball and even your Donphan would not survive.”

Well, I just happen to have some of these Dusk Stones and if you would like one of these mysterious phantom pokemon, be in the wifi room on Wednesday October 21st at 5:30 PM Pacific time (8:30 PM Eastern time)

  • Comment with your Name and Friend Code
  • Get a pokémon to trade, I’m not looking for anything particular just something you don’t want. Please attach a shard piece or stone to your pokémon if you want your Misdreavus to come with a Dusk Stone.
  • Please, Only 1 pokémon per person.
  • Make yourself available to Trade (invite->Trade) I will come to you when I’m ready.

Looking for Darkrai?

April 20, 2008 | 29 Comments

Darkrai

It has just been revealed that participating Toys”R”Us stores will be holding a Darkrai event to coincide with the release of the DVD “Pokemon: The Rise of Darkrai”.

It has long been assumed that the event would occur at stores once the DVD was released in the US and now it has been confirmed.

The event will occur on May 31st and June 1st from noon to 4PM. No word on if this will be like the Manaphy event or if you will be getting the event trigger item to unlock Darkrai in your copy of Diamond or Pearl.

Halloween Pokemon Farming Edition: Duskull

October 30, 2007 | 56 Comments

Greetings and welcome to the special Halloween night haunted farming event! Haunted….with the ghosts of Duskull!

Duskull, and his evolution Dusclops, are one of several Pokes that earned a new evolution the generation. With a Reaper Cloth attached (found on Route 229), Dusclops will evolve into Dusknoir. All have pretty decent defense stats but not so fantastic speed stats. Duskull has the ability Levitate, which prevent damage from ground type moves. When it evolves though, both evolutions have the ability Pressure which causes a foe to use 2 pp of a move rather that one when it is hit.

These specially prepared Duskulls come with a mean moveset

  • Shadow Ball
  • Dark Pulse
  • Psychic
  • Will-o-Wisp

So do you want one of these SPOOOOOKY Duskulls? 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 8pm EDT on October 31(Wednesday)
  • 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

I can make an effort to accommodate Trick-or-Treating if need be. That’s important business! See everyone tonight!

Pokemon Farming: Spiritomb

June 21, 2007 | 131 Comments

SpiritombSpiritomb is one of the new Pokemon from the Diamond and Pearl games. It is of the Dark/Ghost type. It suffers with a problem of having a complex catching method. This makes Spiritomb a very useful Pokemon, if only it were easier to catch!

To catch a Spiritomb you need to use an Odd Keystone and talk to 32 people in the Sinnoh Underground. You can dig up the Odd Keystone in the Sinnoh Underground and you can also talk to your friends 32 times.

By placing the Odd Keystone in the well on Route 209 you will activate the Spiritomb event.

You then need to go to the Sinnoh Underground and talk to 32 People. These must be real people and not hikers. If you don’t know 32 people you can just hop in and out of the Sinnoh Underground and talk to the same person 32 times.

After you have talked to the 32 people just head back to the well and meet up with a Spiritomb. It will not be that strong so try not to knock it out. If you do knock it out you need to find another Odd Keystone and repeat.

Because the method of catching a Spiritomb is so hard and finding one on GTS (who is not looking for a Palkia/Dialga) is so hard I’m offering them up in this edition of Pokemon Farming!

I’m adding a few special rules to this offerring because things have gotten hectic in the past:

Rules
1. I don’t care what you trade me though I would prefer a non-Sinnoh Pokemon.
2. The Pokemon you trade to me must be holding something.
3. I prefer berries over all other items.
4. The only exception to berries are the two items that Magby/Elekid hold when caught in the wild.
5. For berries I need: 37 – 39, 41-49, 52, 60+. Yes, I know I got some of these on Monday but the plants have not produced berries yet and I did not write down their ID numbers.
6. You may also ask for one starter Pokemon as a secondary trade.
7. When you leave your information in the comments below your trainer name must be correct. When I do the trading I refer to the comments on the site to see who gets what.
8. When you enter the Wi-Fi zone select the trade option and wait for me to select you.
9. If you can, be early. I am sometimes on early.
10. Don’t be afraid to trade amongst yourselves.

My information:
Trainer: Ezekial
Friend Code: 0559 3242 3898

    Instructions

  • Have something to trade to me
  • Be in the Wi-Fi zone by 7:00PM EDT (New York Time)
  • Be ready
