ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

We can skip the Windworks.

Great! This is an actual mountain road, right?

Yeah Jane, it really is.

-Continues walking-

If there was any Pokemon that I have to say are surprisingly tenacious, I have to say Kecleon would be a pretty good contender.

Why would we skip it? I meant that if we stay there, I won't be concerned to miss it. That and the Fuego Ironworks. I just ask that we don't get to Eterna Forest until I return.

Hey, we should check out the Valley Windworks while we're here.

Sure, why not?

-Starts walking in the direction of the Valley Windworks-

Kecleon are mean little buggers when pushed.

-gets camera out-

That we should!

Tell me about it. One tried to eat my Escavalier when it was still a Karrablast. Ended up driving it away with a stick...

I haven't seen a Windmill since I went to LaRousse City! Do you think there might be pokemon in the grass around here?

Of course! No bugs for me to catch, though.

At the Valley Windworks there's mainly Shinx, Buizel, Bidoof, and West Sea Shellos. There's also smaller populations of Mareep, Elekid, Electrike, and the occasional Drifloon.

I remember pissing a Kecleon off and having to battle it. They have quite a large and varied movepool.

Oh, I've caught a Mareep before! Evolved her into an Ampharos, and she stuck with me throughout all of Johto. She's one of my go-to Pokemon whenever I know I might get myself into a pinch, and I usually use her for competitive battles.

Oh, and Kecleon. My my, Kecleon are such troublemakers. I've met several of them at Fortree City in Hoenn, and they always just stand in my way until I bonk them over the head with a telescope.

As you can probably tell, I want to catch as many Bug-types as I can.

Currently, I am the owner of a Galvantula, Armaldo, Escavalier, Accelgor, Heracross, Yanmega, Volcarona, Crustle, Butterfree, Beedrill, Scizor, Pinsir, Ninjask, Shedinja, Durant, and now a Combee.

I did that once. I don't think that's how you're supposed to use the Devonscope, but it worked just fine.

That's a lot of Bug types. I just have my Kricketune and a Combee up here. My Dustox and Surskit are back in Hoenn.

I don't have many bug types, unless a Flygon from Route 111 in Hoenn counts... I haven't really checked the pokedex. The only bug type I know I have for sure is a Volbeat.

The key to getting rid of an invisible kecleon is to see if you can find their red zigzag stripe on their bodies. Then you usually can just bonk them on the head with something and they'll get out of your way, or, they might attack you. Also they won't let you take anything of theirs without something in return.

Then if the darn thing decides it wants to fight you'll be forced to deal with Color Change.

Dragon types are the best if that happens. Or you could teach your pokemon a move that is strong against its natural type through TM's.

I heard they suddenly become all-powerful if you steal from them...

Adieu for now.

My normal strategy for dealing with that is just using differently typed moves to use it's own ability against it. Works every time, though using Dragon-type moves would probably be more efficient like you said.

See you later Anom.

I never expected this thread to get that many posts! Thank you for your continuing help!

Does anyone else want to explore the Sinnoh Underground?

We have time for that I think.

The Underground? You can actually tunnel underground in Sinnoh?

-Shows Underground Kit-

Yeah, if you use this you can go underground to dig up shards, fossils, evolutionary stones, and all kinds of items. The main currency down there are spheres.

Yeah. There's a tunneling kit you can get for free in Eterna City. You can find all sorts of items underground, like evolution stones, fossils, and held items.

Ninjaed AGAIN?!

Oh wow! I never knew you could do that. There must be quite a lot of mining that goes on in Sinnoh if there are so many valuable items underneath our feet!

Now you know!

And knowing is half the battle!

One of my nicknames IRL is ninja.

I remember when I got my first Skull Fossil down there. Good times.
