Ah. How handy. I am aware of that. The Pre-Evo Tutor was mentioned, Thank You.

Okay! I did notice that Magical Leaf is in my Bellossom's relearn poo! I am simply making a point of my Pkmn learning most/every move before I evolve them, in case I end up Trading any of them. But does a Move go into the relearn pool regardless of whether is is learned when the opportunity presents itself? Oh, really? That is handy. I did notice that Swift was not in my Vaporeon's relearn pool... Thank You both!

I leveled my Eevee out to 17 - so it would acquire Bite and Swift - and then evolved it into Vaporeon...And it actually acquired Water Pulse too! That really surprised me, but pleasantly. Next was the unpleasant surprise. I leveled my Gloom to 24 so that it would learn Lucky Chant, then applied a Sun Stone...my new Bellossom did not learn Magical Leaf! Why the difference?!? One must have been a glitch, non? Which one? Also, my lvl 49 Weepinbell has not yet learned Slam or Wring Out*, which it reportedly should learn at 41 and 47^, respectively. Also, - totally my fault - it has missed out on Leaf Blade and Leaf Storm, both reportedly attributed to Victreebel at lvl 47. Because of the inconsistency mentioned above, I am now uncertain whether I should have evolved it at 46 and leveled it once for both Leaves, or could have safely done it at lvl 47 in order to have acquired Wring Out, as well. Theoretically, now, as it is too late for this Weepinbell. *I checked with the Move Relearner... ^according to the PROwiki... Actually, I noticed the Deleveling Service thread the PRO Staff have provided. I understand it is for backing off the lvl 100s in order to evolve them via lvling, but it seems to me the principle of the service could be applied to any Pkmn one levels too high, thereby missing a(ny) window of opportunity. Frankly, I am severely tempted to apply for deleveling for my Weepinbell, but without the answer to the apparent inconsistency, I don't know whether to ask for lvl 46 or 47... Any helpful hints?

I see. That explains why Sabrina was such a pain. My Pkmn Party is rapidly falling behind. I may actually have to resort to Tactics in order to clear all 8... And I shudder to think what the Elite Four must be like. Thanks!

Ran across a Wild Heracross that used Feint 60-70 times consecutively. It never occurred to me that the wilders don't have PP limits...or I would never have tried to wear it down. "What's good for the goose is good for the gander..."

I just done for Misty. Couldn't help noticing that she, too, has the lvls of her Pkmn hidden. Is that unique to PRO? Or official now? Is it just so you have no idea if your own team is comparable or over-/under-powered when you mix it up with them? Or does it actually represent that the lvls of their Pkmn 'float' to give you a good match-up, whatever the lvls of your Party Pkmn are?

My bad. Is that the official? I clocked out @Gen5, but I thought it was always 5x... And that is exactly my point. Base Vine Whip 'gainst "+6 def" had the same effect as when I fully +ed the Att. for it. In PRO? Or officially, now? I mean, I can live with it, since getting the Badge is arguably reward enough. That has got to be unique to PRO...? Can't say I approve, on principle. But it it's official, who can complain... Thanks, hahahaka!

I was battling a Kakuna with my Bellsprout on Rt. 2. Of course it maxed out its Def. in 5 Moves, but I figured I could counter that with Growth, since I figured raising my Bellsprout's Atk would undo the heightened Def attained by the Kakuna. So I used Growth 5 times. And then used Vine Whip 3x(until the PP was out). Now, I am aware that Grass is weak against Bug(right?), but I gauged the limited effect of Vine Whip both before and after the 5x Growth, and there was definitely no improvement. I feel logic dictates that tactic ought to have worked... Do I simply not grasp that aspect of the battle system correctly? Or was it as I suspect, a glitch or error in programming? P.S. I did not receive any Exp. for defeating Brock's Onix...Is the $ he gives you personally in lieu of that?
