i thought weakness was 2x not 4x

It is, but a ground / rock will have a 2x weakness, twice in effect

does this account for STAB?

No, that's not even counting STAB.  So if a Grass-type Pokemon used a Grass-type move on a Rhydon, the result is usually a OHKO.  For example:

Let's say a Grass-type used Mega Drain against a Rhydon.  Mega Drain's Base Power is 40.

STAB increases the attack power by 50%, so Mega Drain's power increases to 60.

Because both of Rhydon's types are weak to Grass, he takes 4x damage from Grass-type moves.  Thus, Mega Drain's power is multiplied by 4, increasing its power to 240 and likely scoring a OHKO against Rhydon.

Now, if a Water-type used Surf against Rhydon, Surf's normal base power of 95 increases to 142 due to STAB, and is then multiplied by 4x for a total base power of 568.  OHKO for sure.

Alright, time to get things moving again :)

Spoiler for Chapter 18: Preparing for Saffron City:

There's a lot of new areas I can explore thanks to Surf, so let's see if I can find anything good here...

[Image: lg00753.png]

Meh. These things show up everywhere.

[Image: lg00754.png]

This is what happens when you're trying to watch TV and Nuzlocke. You make a stupid mistake and accidentally hit "Run". But like I said, they're everywhere.

However, an idea dawned on me right after this. Since this is Leaf Green, there's a version exclusive Pokemon that would be an excellent addition to the team....

[Image: lg00755.png]

...and I think I can find it here....

[Image: lg00756.png]

And there it is!

[Image: lg00757.png]

And now it's mine!!

[Image: lg00758.png]

Kasumi the Staryu was caught!

[Image: lg00759.png]

AND it's got Natural Cure!!  It must join the team!

Now, I know what you're thinking: "But you've already got Sydney the Poliwrath!  You don't need another Water-type!"

Well, you're right, I don't need another Water-type.  So Sydney got boxed. (If only I had thought about catching Staryu earlier, I could have saved that Psychic TM....but everything happens for a reason, right??)

[Image: lg00760.png]

Now that Sydney's boxed, I'll need a new Surfer.

[Image: lg00761.png]

Staryu's only useful level-up move is Recover, and it already has that. So I evolved it.

[Image: lg00762.png]

I also had a LOT of money built up, so I bought a LOT of Game Corner coins to teach Kasumi Ice Beam (While I'm not thrilled with the idea of funding Team Rocket, I know that I'll be able to use this against them should they dare show their faces around me)

[Image: lg00763.png]

Meh, why not? Of course she went right back to the box.

[Image: lg00764.png]

Turns out I have data for over 40 species in Oak's useless Pokedex, so one of his 'assistants' gave me an Amulet Coin. I really can't argue with something that makes me more money!

[Image: lg00765.png]

And after some more battling, I had enough to purchase a Thunderbolt TM from the Game Corner. GLaDOS already has Spark, which will do for now, so Kasumi gets this one (don't worry, I plan on getting another one for GLaDOS eventually...)

[Image: lg00766.png]

After stopping by my house for a bit, I decided to check out this odd patch of grass right outside Pallet Town...

[Image: lg00767.png]

Honestly, I would have been shocked if anything else showed up here. And it was captured.

[Image: lg00768.png]

Oliver the Tangela was caught!

[Image: lg00769.png]

I heard there's a Gym here, but someone locked the door. Oh well, I'm just here to catch stuff right now....

[Image: lg00770.png]

Wow, this place is trashed...wonder what happened here??

[Image: lg00771.png]

Meh, I'll worry about what happened here later, right now I've got other business to attend to.

[Image: lg00772.png]

Business that includes catching new stuff.

[Image: lg00773.png]

Arianna the Grimer was caught!

[Image: lg00774.png]

I heard a rumor that the Museum in Pewter had a special fossil....

[Image: lg00775.png]

...and apparently it belongs to me now!

[Image: lg00776.png]

You talk funny.

[Image: lg00777.png]

Well, I can only revive one, and since the one in the Old Amber would be more useful...

[Image: lg00778.png]

...I think I'll choose the Aerodactyl from the Old Amber.

[Image: lg00779.png]

You ARE weird.

[Image: lg00780.png]

What, you mean I don't get to watch???

A few minutes later....

[Image: lg00781.png]

....and now I have my own living fossil!

[Image: lg00782.png]

Gabriel the Aerodactyl joined the team!

And thus Logan the Fearow was boxed.

[Image: lg00783.png]

And since Logan's boxed, Gabriel gets to Fly me around now.

However, Gabriel's only Lv.5, so training him won't be easy without the Exp.Share. And though I know where to get it, Oak's aide won't let me have it until I have data on 50 species. Perhaps I underestimated the old man.....

Anyways, it appears I only need 6 more species to get 50, so time for some quick evolutions....

[Image: lg00784.png]

That should be enough!

However, I do have a bit of bad news to report...

[Image: lg00790.png]

During this time of mass evolution, Xavier the Abra was caught by Pursuit during a bait-and-switch and perished.

My reaction....."Meh"

R.I.P. Xavier the Abra Lv.10-14

[Image: lg00791.png]

Yes, I have. Now hand it over!

[Image: lg00792.png]

I already knew that, moron. Why did Oak hire you anyways??

Anyways, Gabriel's gonna need a lot of training, so this chapter ends here.

Man, you've caught Starmie. You've practically already beat the game @_@

And Aerodactyl, i had one on my LEaf Green and he just walks

Cyonix

11/08/2011, 07:10 AM

Looks like Team Rocket's up to no good again.....

Spoiler for Chapter 19: Revenge of the Rockets:

Last time, I said Gabriel the Aerodactyl needed some training...

[Image: lg00793.png]

That should be useful.

[Image: lg00794.png]

That should also be useful.

[Image: lg00795.png]

I promised GLaDOS would get Thunderbolt, and I always keep my word.

[Image: lg00796.png]

Since there's still some Rockets sneaking around Saffron, I decided to check out this dojo for a bit....and the dojo master promptly challenged me!

[Image: lg00797.png]

Your Pokemon may be rare, but they're apparently not that strong.

[Image: lg00799.png]

I wanted a new Badge, but I guess a new Pokemon isn't bad either.

[Image: lg00800.png]

Bruce the Hitmonlee was acquired!

But as I left, I found out why those Rockets were in Saffron, as Team Rocket launched an all-out attack on Silph Co.!! I swore I would stop Giovanni and his Rockets no matter what, so this may be my chance to stop them for good.

[Image: lg00801.png]

And guess what? Their guard is asleep!

[Image: lg00802.png]

Dammit, the Rockets must have hacked into the security cameras!

[Image: lg00803.png]

Of course, that means whoever's watching will see how badly I beat their associates....

[Image: lg00804.png]

It just seems odd that the Rockets would leave the key leaving around...unless I'm walking right into a trap??

[Image: lg00805.png]

The Rocket Brothers...I remember hearing the Rockets back at Celadon talking about them. They're supposed to be some of Giovanni's top assassins...

[Image: lg00806.png]

...which means he knew I'd come. But I doubt he expected my team to be so strong...

[Image: lg00807.png]

Well, I guess wee could use a quick rest...

[Image: lg00808.png]

Gabriel has Rock Head, so this should be useful (at least until I can teach him Double-Edge in Victory Road).

[Image: lg00809.png]

So, another one of the Rocket Brothers?

[Image: lg00810.png]

You shall fall as easily as the other one did...

[Image: lg00811.png]

You Rocket Brothers may have been sent to kill me....

[Image: lg00812.png]

...but you will never succeed.

[Image: lg00813.png]

At least this is the last one.

[Image: lg00814.png]

And like the others, he went down easily.

[Image: lg00815.png]

Gary?? Why are you here???

[Image: lg00816.png]

I don't really have time for this, but....

[Image: lg00817.png]

....kicking your donkey is just so much fun!

[Image: lg00822.png]

You can't even beat me! What makes you think you can beat THEM???

[Image: lg00823.png]

Didn't you hear me???

[Image: lg00824.png]

I haven't finished saving you yet....

[Image: lg00825.png]

...but I'll keep her safe from Team Rocket.

Nessa the Lapras was acquired!

[Image: lg00826.png]

I'm here to see your boss....

[Image: lg00827.png]

....so get your weak donkey out of my way!!

[Image: lg00828.png]

I knew you'd be here, Giovanni. Now give up!

[Image: lg00829.png]

All right, I've had enough of you and your Rockets! This ends NOW!

[Image: lg00831.png]

Just like last time, your team is no match for me.

[Image: lg00835.png]

Now give up already!!

[Image: lg00836.png]

And I'll always be there to stop you!

[Image: lg00837.png]

Dammit, turns out he had a helicopter waiting for him on the roof....I could have Tyson blast him out of the sky, but innocents would likely be hurt, so I'll let him go for now....

[Image: lg00838.png]

Don't mention it, I was just kicking Rocket donkey.

[Image: lg00839.png]

OK.

Hmmm...he is a rich corporate president, so maybe it'll be something incredible....

[Image: lg00841.png]

Wait, it's only a prototype? Are you sure it even works??

[Image: lg00842.png]

Well, it's not bad, but a blank check would have been better...

Next Time: Sabrina AND Blaine!!

TWO Gym Battles in ONE Chapter? I must be craazzzzyyy!

Spoiler for Chapter 20: Psychics and Pyros:

With the Rockets defeated, it's time to challenge the Saffron Gym!

[Image: lg00843.png]

It doesn't matter how skilled she is...

[Image: lg00844.png]

...she'll still lose to me.

[Image: lg00845.png]

Alright.

You still want to battle me?

[Image: lg00847.png]

Psychic powers, huh? That's cool.

[Image: lg00848.png]

If you dislike battling, then why are you a Gym Leader??

[Image: lg00849.png]

Let's see how good you are, Sabrina...

[Image: lg00850.png]

How pathetic. I really expected more of a challenge...

[Image: lg00854.png]

With your psychic powers, I'm surprised you didn't see this coming...

[Image: lg00856.png]

A Calm Mind TM. It's decent....

[Image: lg00857.png]

Now THAT'S interesting....

Before I head back to Cinnabar, lets catch a few more things...

[Image: lg00858.png]

Maybe I'll get a Tentacool this time?

[Image: lg00859.png]

Well, there's the Tentacool....

[Image: lg00860.png]

...and I didn't screw up this time!

[Image: lg00861.png]

Dominic the Tentacool was caught!

[Image: lg00862.png]

Damn, this place is cold....

[Image: lg00863.png]

...but I guess it doesn't affect a Slowpoke that much....

[Image: lg00864.png]

Maya the Slowpoke was caught!

[Image: lg00865.png]

The Pokemon Mansion....maybe I'll figure out what happened here this time....

[Image: lg00866.png]

Ever heard of an Escape Rope??

[Image: lg00867.png]

Something tells me you might need one....

[Image: lg00868.png]

What an odd journal....too bad most of it is damaged....

[Image: lg00870.png]

Mew? I don't think I've heard of that Pokemon before...

[Image: lg00872.png]

Is that really the best name you could think of??

[Image: lg00874.png]

It sounds like this Mewtwo creature destroyed the place and fled. Such a powerful Pokemon would be an excellent addition to the collection...but unfortunately I have no idea where to find it right now, so I'll just grab this key to Cinnabar Gym and go after another badge instead.

[Image: lg00876.png]

Hmmmm...there's something odd about this one....

[Image: lg00877.png]

You know, I think I saw his picture near one of those odd journals in the mansion....

[Image: lg00878.png]

Alright, crazy old man, if you know anything about that Mewtwo creature, I suggest you start talking.

[Image: lg00879.png]

That Arcanine put up a bit of a fight, but it still wasn't enough.

[Image: lg00883.png]

Now then, about Mewtwo...

[Image: lg00884.png]

Get a Badge, your team gets stronger. I know this already.

[Image: lg00885.png]

Another TM, I presume?

[Image: lg00886.png]

Wrong. Flamethrower > Fire Blast. And you still didn't answer my questions about Mewtwo....
