Kenvis Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) 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? Edited May 20, 2019 by Kenvis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hahahaka Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 max stage is +6 not +5 the +6 def never disappear when you use +6 Vine Whip to hit +6 def, it's roughly equal to use +0 Vine Whip to hit +0 def gym leader don't give money don't give exp if you lose once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenvis Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenvis Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 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..."
