Jynx is pretty much synonymous with Ice Path. One of the worst Pokémon designs. |
-I stocked up on
items before heading out. I had made some money fighting Team Rocket. Finding the
Amulet Coin helped a lot, too. I bought everything I thought I needed and I
still have money left. I'm pretty sure my money problems are over. About
freaking time.
-Ralph just
called me. He's on route 32 and wants to battle. Oh yeah, time to fly,
Pidgeotto.
-It's impressive;
Ralph has a level 40 Seaking! Awesome. I wasn't expecting a good battle but
this is nice.
-Every once in a
while I like to take a look at my party and see if there's some way I can
improve on it. I really like Heracross right now. She's well balanced. She's
got some fighting type moves that pack a nice punch. Horn Attack and Wing
Attack round out the learn set. The wing attack makes it useful when fighting
bug and grass types, which is handy to have in my party since my starter is
weak to grass. It's nice to know there are Growlithe and Heracross that can
back up Feraligatr when he needs the help.
-I've taken the
time to level up Sandslash. Why, I'm not entirely sure. He's just my mule but
he's got decent stats. More importantly he's got immunity to Electric type
which is something I can most likely put to good use. It’s also a good idea to
keep him up to a level that is close to the ones of the other Pokémon in the
party.
I love this little guy. His evolved forms are also pretty great. |
-The two Pokémon
that disappoint me at the moment are Growlithe and Pidgeotto. Growlithe's HP
and Defence are less than impressive. I'm hoping that evolving it would take
care of that. The problem is that I need a Fire Stone and there's not one in
sight. Pidgeotto, well, he's just disappointing all around. The only good thing
about him is that he can use HM Fly. His learn set is pretty bad. Heracross
learnt Aerial Ace before Pidgeotto! That's ridiculous! According to my research Pidgeotto will never learn it by levelling up because he sucks. I'm thinking I might
have him share the role of mule with Sandslash. I looked into it and it’s not
going to work. Sandslash knows Headbutt, Cut, Strength and Rock Smash.
Pidgeotto can't learn any of those. Useless! I might want to switch for a
different flying type. Maybe Fearow or someone. Having him share the mule load
with Sandslash, it liberates his learn set for some ground type moves. I'll
have to do a bit of research before making the decision. If I choose to switch
another Pokémon, I'll have to train it quite a bit. It's a big decision.
-Possible
replacements: Skarmory (Rock Smash), Delibird, Farfetch'd (Cut), Togekiss (Rock
Smash),
-I think I’ll settle
for Skarmory. I will be teaching it Fly, Rock Smash, Roost and Brave Bird. Now I’ve
got to keep my eyes open for one. I have no idea where I can find them in the
wild or if they’re even available in Heart Gold. I’ll have to check on
Bulbapedia.
-Ice Path,
weeeeee! Ice without skates! Weeeeeee -- Wam! Hit a wall. I always enjoyed the
ice Surface puzzles. The Ice Path has tons of puzzles. It takes time and you
occasionally have to move boulders but you get some nice items. The more time
you spend on the puzzles the more Pokémon you encounter and fight for experience
points. It's also nice to get a chance to boost up the Pokédex.
-Yup, that
figures. As soon as I mention I like the Ice Path puzzles I get stuck. I can’t
solve it and I’m losing patience. I guess now is as good a time as any to stop.
Next time: I slip and slide in the Ice Path! Will I find a way out? Yes? No?
Doesn’t really matter, I’m pretty sure I have an escape rope.
