Well, I think that's where I'm gonna call it for today. Next up: the Elite Four! Maybe after a bit of grinding. I really feel like my team of sub-level 50s aren't going to cut it. - ThreadSky

Will we get a team overview before you attempt the E4?

commodore128.bsky.social•28 days ago

Yup, you sure will! I'm currently hunting Munchlaxes to get Leftovers, since apparently that's the only way to get them before the Elite 4.

garyrlikesgames.bsky.social•28 days ago

Hunting Munchlax?
In Gen 4?
How is that going?

commodore128.bsky.social•28 days ago

Poorly! Hah, it takes a lot of honey.

garyrlikesgames.bsky.social•28 days ago

Have you pinpointed which trees are Munchlax trees?

commodore128.bsky.social•28 days ago

Yes, hopefully. I found an online tool that gives you two of them. They're Heracross trees at the very least, so I hope they can also have Munchlaxes.

Believe it or not I have still been playing Pokemon Platinum. I've made it my goal to catch a Munchlax because apparently that's the only way to get Leftovers at this point in the game and I want them. Unfortunately, I haven't had much luck.

I might just call it soon and take on the Elite 4 anyway.

Update: YYYEEEEAAAHHHHH!!!

garyrlikesgames.bsky.social•7 days ago

You are a madman 😂

That's a Pokemon achievement for the books.

commodore128.bsky.social•7 days ago

It took a lot of patience, that's for sure! And an online calculator to tell me where my Munchlax trees are.

But I officially have my Leftovers, so hopefully it was worth it! Drifblim had better be the MVP of my Elite 4 run.

garyrlikesgames.bsky.social•7 days ago

Does Munchlax always hold leftovers?
Imagine if it was like 20% chance 💀

commodore128.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes, I think it always does. I wouldn't have bothered if it didn't! I'm not doing another "Lucky Egg hunt."

lanadelphox.bsky.social•7 days ago

NICE!!! Muchlax is insanely evasive, lil guy is shy 😂

commodore128.bsky.social•7 days ago

Hah, you're telling me! I've been running back and forth between the same two trees several times per day for probably about a month now. But there he is!

lanadelphox.bsky.social•7 days ago

And SOMEHOW Barry just easily finds one… so jealous of him 😂

commodore128.bsky.social•6 days ago

Okay folks. It's time for the Elite 4. Let's take a quick tour through my team:

Magnezone - a favorite of mine that I've never used in-story.
Torterra - the best starter in the series. Wood Hammer + Synthesis is fun.
Drifblim - High HP makes Leftovers do work. Added Toxic moves for funzies.

commodore128.bsky.social•6 days ago

Octillery - another Pokemon I really like that I've never used, but I didn't intend for it to be on my final team.
Rampardos - again, I didn't intend for this to be on my final team. But there are no Pokemon in Platinum version.
Toxicroak - didn't plan for this one, but it's cool!

commodore128.bsky.social•6 days ago

Oh of course, I should have expected this. But it seems I have the level advantage this time! Did I over-prepare? Should I only have level 50s? I could have sworn Cynthia has like level 65s.

commodore128.bsky.social•6 days ago

I now know the dedication it took to get that Snorlax. Respect.

But yeah, I was pretty well-prepared for this battle.
