As for good Places to catch certain Pokemon I recently realised a pretty good way to get some Pokemon: The EV-Train Routes, especially the first two ones.
First is in Kanto, Route 24. You can easily get Pidgy and Coffing from your Boss guide and also Caterpy (thought you probably got one and Butterfly isn't that good), Jiglypuff (is T4 and the hardest to hunt there), Oddish, Kappy and Tentacool. You can try catch a Slowking here but he is harder to get than a Slowpoke elswhere and as a evolution harder to train.
Next is Johto, Route 31: Here you can farm Sentrets. Also Ghastly, Sandshred, Zubat, Whooper and Seel but they are more situational and as Ghastly as a Desteny-Boder does not need best IVs you probably already have one.
The others I just know theoreticly, since I haven't reached them yet, so take my take with a grain of salt.
Hoenn is imo situational: On Route 120 Mareep and the Nidorans are available long before, but if you are farming for IVs it might help. The rest are already available in EV-Zones or are evolved.
In Sinnoh afaik it is somewhat better: Route 208 features Dunspace, Patrat, and Licktung (Rarer) as new Pokemon.
I know these Infos are probably quite obvious to most players, but again, since I didn't think of them as easy farms until recently, I think other newbies may apreciate the hint. I knew I would.

It's only to deal a bit more damage while you try to get Silver Wind or Ominous Wind boosts, but the relevant part is if you decide instead that your fourth move becomes Giga Drain to heal against the boss (if you're Taunted and can't continue healing or setting up). It's not super important though, but also the fact that if you get a good Venomoth in all stats except Atk, you can use him both as a Baton Passer and a Sweeper in the same set (Baton Pass, Quiver Dance, Roost, Attacking move). If you saw in the middle of a boss battle that you can't continue sweeping, you could just Baton Pass the boosts onto something else and pray that it works.
(Editing extra reason: if you get one so good that it can work for both roles, you will not need to hunt two, one per role, but just one that can do both)
Ah, that makes a lot of sense.
Thank you, you made me a bit wiser again.

As I'm on my way to get my team, I stumbled uppon what I think is a mistake:
It concenrns your Entrys about Venomoth:
[spoiler=”Setup Sweepers: Anything that is bulky and has decent setup moves”]
[spoiler=”Venomoth”]
The low budget Volcarona. Tier 1 preevo Venonat, extremely easy to farm. 20+HP DEF SPDEF IV. We can be flexible with Speed and Spatk.
252 HP EV, split between defenses. Bold/Calm natures. Bold is way, WAY better than Calm for him. TINTED LENS ABILITY! Leftovers.
Venomoth Quiver Dance setup moveset: Quiver Dance, Roost, 2 attacking moves (preferably Bug Buzz and Psychic).
Alternative options: Air Cutter, Energy Ball, Giga Drain, Hidden Power (preferably fire), Ominous Wind, Signal Beam, Silver Wind, Sludge Bomb, Solar Beam (ONLY IN SUN), Twister.
Venomoth has two possible roles in a Boss team: he’s either a Baton Passer, a Sweeper, or both. He will come in when everything has been set, and he’ll set up Quiver Dances while he is constantly roosting nonstop. At +6, he will oneshot everything. Tinted Lens will make it ALWAYS hit for neutral damage. Thus, NOTHING can wall him. NOTHING. If you are in an emergency and might faint before you can finish the sweep, Baton Pass onto something else, or spam Roost and Giga Drain (if you have it).
[...]
[spoiler=”Baton Passers: Venomoth (Special Side), Furret (Physical Side)”]
[spoiler=”Venomoth”]
As mentioned above, he can also be a Baton Passer. AND THIS IS WHERE THE FUN COMES IN. 20+ IV DEF HP SPDEF (recommended SPATK SPEED too, but having high bulk is enough).
252 HP EV, 252 DEF. Bold Nature. DON’T USE ANY OTHER NATURES. They’re sub-par at best. Leftovers. Any Ability works.
Venomoth Baton Pass Set: Baton Pass, Quiver Dance, Roost. Last optional choice: Double Team (lol), Ominous Wind or Silver Wind.
The point of Venomoth is to jump in against a really weakened enemy pokemon with screens set and start setting up Quiver Dances and Double Teams while you heal up with Roost. The reason why I did not provide any other options is because we can only play Roulette and try to Ominous Wind or Silver Wind to get a boost in all stats, with a 10% chance. Double Team ensures we get evasion boosts to not get wrecked by accident. It’s up to you. When we’ve set up as much as possible, we will Baton Pass onto our sweeper. Venomoth is SPECIALLY ORIENTED.We will NOT use him to Baton Pass onto a PHYSICAL SWEEPER. We will use him with SPECIALLY ORIENTED SWEEPERS like Gengar.
I think the Sentece about SPATK on the Batton Passer is in the wrong Place. Or am simply to inexperienced to see the use of a Spatk-IV on a Batton-Passer?

Love your guide and it comes just in time for me, as I want to build up my first bossteam atm
One Question thought, since I saw him in another guide and thought, I'd give him a try:
What's your stance on a Skill-Link Cloyster? It's easy to get and with IcycleSpear and RockBlast (+SpikeCannon and a physical Water Attack) it should be able to pack a punch and be an alternative to a Mold Breaker exept against unaware Pokemons.
Is it worth a try or is that Idea already tested and discarted as "sounds good, doesn't work"
Otherwise I'm always happy about more updates to this guide, especialy if you somehow'll get pictures to work, I'd probably not be the only one overjoid.
Keep up the good work.

Hey,
If you go by pro-playtime, I'm a bit late, but since I'm now starting to use Forum more, nows the time.
I started on Gold with a Friend, who introduced me to PRO. Since we try to play together there, I'm also playing silver, where I'm now halfway through Johto.
As an old timer for original Pokemon I'm most familiar with gen 1 and 2, thought I played gen 3 till first badge once. ^^
Becauso of this I'm still messing around with the newer mechanics to fully get a grip for them. (though I'm doing better than my friend who actually dislikes many of the new features)
Still it's been fun so far, and thanks to guides and wiki, I think I'll eventually get there (thogh I'll probably never get deep into PvP, not my cup of tea.)
Otherwise, I'm from germany, so please excuse any mistakes that causes to my English spelling.
If you've got questions, as I said, atm I'm running around in Johto and I'll probably check the forum from time to time.

While hunting Syncers I caught this shiny Natu, unfortunatey afaik it is not good at all:
So since I am relativly new to this game, don't have a use for it myself and cash is needed, I'd like to know, how much it that one worth.

thank you verry much

[GEN-1] Best Place to hunt Pokes ( + Repel trick ) All Pokes {T1-T9}

I like the Idea of your guide, as I don't have discord atm.
Thought I'd like to ask if by best place you just mean the easiest place to get the pokemon or if you also take into account how accesible the area is and/or the Level/potential Item that the Pokemon holds.
If it is easiest than I would correct you by Catarpie, Pidgey/Pidgeotto, Oddish and Tentacool/Tentacruel, as well as add Koffing and Krabby to the list, which are all verry easy to catch at Rout 24 as they are the only Tier 1 or 2 Pokemon available at a time and the rarer Pokemon are Tier 4 and 6 and ofter are just their evolved forms
