Hey everyone! It's been a long time since I've been around but I'll be getting back into the game now. Are the older players still active? Looks like CyCx is dead so that really sucks to see :(
I would like to bump this thread because it's a great idea. While training in Mt. Silver, a bloody Golbat poisoned my poke and prematurely ended that training session. It was pretty inconvenient having to travel to the PC and back to the 5th floor. I think status potions would be an amazing...
I will reiterate what I said several pages ago. You don't NEED a shiny to have a strong pokemon in this game. Just go hunt for an uber non shiny and it is literally the same thing in battle. You will probably save yourself some time and money by doing that too.
I just experienced the same bug. You can't really tell what happened with the screenshot but when the Machop was hurt by poison, Koffing lost just about all of his HP.

What a lot of people don't realize is, that you don't NEED to find a shiny in order to have a pokemon with great IVs. All a shiny is intended to be is a trophy and if it happens to have great stats then it's just an added bonus.
