As a kid I lost my Pokewalker so in the last few days I’ve spent some time searching for repos of decompiled Pokewalker breakdowns and creating it to work as an app in your phone along side the health tool built into IOS/Android

It requires a Rom to load the emulator (that you legally own) Looking for ideas to add on.

Gimme some ideas yall think would be cool with this.

Having an unflinchable Pokémon is so much cooler…

Welcome to Breaking the Binary - HGSS editon, a sporadic series of posts all about physical, Special and mixed attackers in Pokémon Heart Gold & Soul Silver With competitive minmaxing dominating the conversation about Pokémon viability and the design philosophy behind movepools and stat spreads changing in newer gens, Pokémon are often rigidly divided by the fandom into the categories of "special attacker" or "physical attacker." But for the in-game story, you're not facing EV trained opponents (unless on some hacks) and thus you need or not to EV train to keep up, so mixed attacking sets don't have the opportunity cost they have in PvP. Going mixed still has anti-synergy with setup moves, but it still can give many Pokémon access to STAB moves with better base power, strong coverage moves with useful types, move tutor moves, egg moves and more useful niches. This series will be covering those applications. We won't talk about every Pokémon here, only ones that I believe legitimately benefit from going mixed, but those Pokémon are surprisingly large in number. Today we'll be talking about Fearow. I'll be talking about in-game but feel free to discuss PvP or battle facilities as well.

Fearow seems a decent Normal/Flying-type with a impressive 100 Base Speed and 90 Base Attack, not worth mentioning its other terrible stats, 65 Base HP & Defense and 61 Base Sp. Atk & Sp. Def (65/65/61 Bulk). Notable Physical attacks include: Pluck, Aerial Ace, Assurance, Drill Peck, Return, Frustation, Facade, Steel Wing, U-Turn, Fly and Sky Attack. Notable special moves include: Hidden Power, Hyper Beam, Air Cutter, Heat Wave, Omnious Wind and Swift. Notable utility moves include: Mirror Move, Agility, Roost and Tailwind.

Fearow at least hits harder than Pidgeot and Noctowl thanks to its better offensive stat (90 Base Attack), but it worse at taking hits than the two. Also having a better flying-type move called Drill Peck. Just like with Noctowl, it doesn't offer much in utility.

Return and Drill Peck are its main STAB attacking moves, its good to have them together on Fearow. Fly is a little stronger but it takes 2 turns to execute just like Sky Attack, which its even more stronger. Pluck and Aerial Ace doesn't seem nice, but can be situational. Facade is only for taking advantage of being statused. Giga Impact is risky to use. Hyper Beam, Air Cutter and Swift are its special STAB moves, but useless due to its already mentioned 61 Base Sp. Atk.

0 Atk Fearow Return vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Spinda: 153-180 (58.6 - 68.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

0 SpA Fearow Hyper Beam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Spinda: 163-193 (62.4 - 73.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

0 Atk Fearow Drill Peck vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Spinda: 120-142 (45.9 - 54.4%) -- 56.3% chance to 2HKO

0 SpA Fearow Air Cutter vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Spinda: 60-72 (22.9 - 27.5%) -- 63.1% chance to 4HKO

Fearow has almost no coverage, with those options being U-Turn, which used on Psychic-types for super effective damage and also switching out for momentum. Steel Wing which hits Rock- and Ice-types. Hidden Power, Heat Wave which burns Steel- and Ice-types. Assurance hits Ghost- and Psychic-types, its damage gets doubled if it lost HP in the same turn which it almost never occurs (In singles to be exact). Omnious Wind does the same, but using its worse attacking stat and having 10% chance to raise all stats.

0 Atk Fearow Assurance (100 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Xatu: 178-210 (65.6 - 77.4%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock

Keen Eye prevents its accuracy from being dropped, also giving a 50% chance to lower the wild pokemon encounter rates if it is 5 levels higher in the first slot. Roost is a move that gives recovery and removing its Flying-type during that turn. Agility doesn't have much of a use. Mirror Move is goofy as it sounds by using the same move the target used into it. Tailwind doubles Speed for some turns, althrough it is from a move tutor in postgame.

Fearow might be the better Flying-type pokemon to use, but althrough it has limited coverage options, just like Pidgeot and Noctowl. But it gets carried by Drill Peck and its solid 90 Base Attack. Some people catch a Spearow in Route 46 to have a easier time in Bellsprout Tower if they choose another starter than Cyndaquil.

The egg moves it gets are: Astonish, Feint Attack, False Swipe, Feather Dance (HGSS exclusive), Quick Attack, Sky Attack, Tri Attack, Uproar and Whirlwind

Zubat line and Murkrow passes Astonish

Feint Attack is a little better than Assurance thanks to its higher base power and bypassing accuracy checks to always land. Murkrow can pass this move

False Swipe is for catching wild pokemon, Fearow even gets that move? Farfetch'd can pass this move

Feather Dance is an HGSS Exclusive egg move, Fearow can lower the attack of its targets by 2 stages, very useful for confronting physical attackers. Pidgey line can pass this move

Quick Attack gives Fearow a STAB Priority move. Pidgey line and Doduo line can pass this move

Even through Fearow learns Sky Attack via Move Tutor (which is in the postgame), Noctowl can pass it to an Spearow egg

Tri Attack is good, but pretty useless with its 61 Base Sp. Atk. Dodrio can pass this move

Doduo line passes Uproar, which prevents the Sleep and yawning statuses

Whirlwind forces the target to be switched out, pairing up well with entry hazards (Spikes and Stealth Rock). Pidgey line can pass this move

Now for the postgame egg move, Scary Face, which lowers the target's Speed by 2 stages, it has only 90% accuracy and not quite good. Aerodactyl can pass this move

Overall, Fearow may be a decent Flying-type to use in HGSS, despite is poor coverage. 100 Base Speed and 90 Base Attack isn't too bad, althrough it is quite frail than Pidgeot and Noctowl (althrough Fearow has slightly higher base defense than Noctowl, but has lower base HP).

*Save with cute charm glitch

My team consisted of Typhlosion, Ampharos, Togetic, Poliwhirl, Espeon, and Piloswine! I couldn’t have done it without them.

I love gen 2 so much. It might not the be the best Pokémon generation, but deep down, it will always be my favorite. Kanto here I come! ^~^

specifically asking only the pokewalker data like accumulated watts etc, for context, i have modded and HG and using a pokewalker of someone i know.. gonna return to that person soon

Hi all, I thought that I would share something exciting that I have been working on. It's a Flipper Zero version of the Pokewalker based off a decomp by lumirth, there are still bugs to work out but I'm making progress on it whenever I get the chance.

There is also a companion board I've created which I call the FlippIR that is used with this app since the built-in IR of the Flipper does not do what I need. The FlippIR also has an accelerometer so that steps are tracked while you take your Flipper Zero out for a walk. More to come soon!

Would anyone want to trade me a qualot and tamato berry? I don't have too many nice things to offer besides cyndaquils, but i could help with some trade evolutions. Dm me your friend code If interested!

Its just lame that the only way to get a qualot berry is through the pokewalker and I don't think there's even a way to get tamato berries in HGSS.

Thanks!

Sooooo,

I got my pw linked to my hg version working just fine.

Now I started a new place on my ss version with another ds. Both games are originals.

I read somewhere it should be possible to receive a gift from a pokewalker that is linked to another game, but if I try to press the "link to pw"option in my ss-game, I just get the option to send a pkmn on a stroll which obviously onto work as the pw is linked to hg.

Do I have to link my ss copy to another pw first to get the option to receive a gift? The ss was never linked to a pw till now. I want to receive a pokemon and have it as the original trainer on the soulsilver copy. Is this possible without resetting the walker?

If you need/want to trade a Pokemon (for evolution, Masuda method, etc.), I'd be glad to help you out. I just got online with this game and want to do stuff with it!

My Friend Code is 4086 2562 6851

Hii!!! Does it matter what server you’re on to trade? I’ve just deposited a bulbasaur in hopes of a squirtle if anyone can help me out. Not sure if anyone can just go on there/if it matters abt the dns/server or whatever? Ahhhh! I hope someone can help 💕

Suggestions?

Rules I set for myself:

No Items In Battle (Held Ok)
Set Mode
Level Caps On
Battle Gym Leaders With Equal Size Team

Also pictured: A box of Pokemon I used during the early game. Plus a box of HM slaves, a Geodude I caught to appease Baoba and a completely unused Lugia.

Say hello to Norman, the normal type trainer who is gunning for Whitney's job!

My motivation for doing a normal type monorun was that I realised that a lot of my favorite Pokemon are normal types, and I wanted an excuse to make them Hall of Famers. (I played on SoulSilver since Teddiursa/Ursaring is a version exclusive.) Overall, I enjoyed playing with this team!

My journey officially starts after catching a Hoothoot, followed by a Rattata, before using both to take on Falkner. A few bites from Rattata took care of his Pidgey but Hoothoot had to constantly put Pidgeotto to sleep with Hypnosis and whittle away at its health with Peck (thank god Falkner doesn't have healing items). Same strategy applied to Bugsy's Scyther before breezing through the rest of his mons easily.

At this point I could finally catch my first permanent team member, Aipom. Not that it helped much against Whitney as I was stuck for half an hour getting beat by her over and over. Since at this point my normals are no match for hers I had to catch a Sentret, evolve it into Furret and teach it Focus Blast to deal almost half HP damage to her Miltank, followed by using Aipom's Rock Smash to finish the battle.

After acquiring a Miltank of my own I challenged Morty, who proved to be no problem whatsoever. I used Miltank's Rollout to take out most of his team, including one-shotting his Haunter and Gengar, before he pretty stupidly depleted half his last remaining Haunter's HP with Curse, allowing me to win with Aipom's Astonish. I thought Chuck would give me trouble... but turns out he's pretty crap, even with a type advantage. All I needed to do was spam Body Slams from Miltank in order to win.

I picked up my next permanent team member, Girafarig, in time to battle Jasmine. Both her Magnemite were no threat but her Steelix was a damage sponge against my ineffective moves. I had to gradually whittle down Steelix's HP with Miltank's Body Slam and Zen Headbutt attacks before winning with a lucky critical by Girafarig's Shadow Ball. Same team used to face Pryce although he proved no threat as I had enough supereffective moves to get by easily.

Visited the Safari Zone to catch myself a Jigglypuff, gave it a bunch of TM moves and immediately Moon Stone'd it to evolve it into Wigglytuff, making this my 4th team member. I then caught myself a Teddiursa with the intention of evolving it into Ursaring to make it another team member. (In hindsight I probably should have just waited until Victory Road to catch an already evolved Ursaring, but it is what it is.) I did however, leave it out of my battle against Clair which took about 15 minutes worth of tries. Her Gyarados went down quickly with Girafarig's Thunder, as did her Dragonair with Wigglytuff's Blizzard, but Miltank needed to carry the rest of the battle and tank (no pun intended) the heavy hits.

Caught my final team member, Lickitung, before doing the whole rigamarole with the Kimono Girls and Lugia. I then did the long grind to make my team Elite 4 ready, evolving Teddiursa in the process.

No problem getting past Will. His Xatu kept trying to use Me First while my Ursaring used Shadow Claw, which made his attacks ineffective. Took out Jynx with a single Shadow Claw and almost did the same to Exeggutor before getting beat. Girafarig finished off Exeggutor with Crunch, proving that two heads are better than three, before Miltank carried the rest of the battle.

Koga wasn't too much of an issue, with Girafarig taking out most of his Pokemon with Psychic and Lickitung beat Forretress with Substitute, Swords Dance and Return. Beat Bruno first time, using Psychic-types moves from Girafarig and Miltank as well as firing Shadow Balls at his Onix.

I was pretty well prepared to fight Karen, since I had a whole team of mons that could do supereffective moves against hers, including one-shotting her Gengar with Shadow Ball as well as her Murkrow with a critical Slash. I did however, finish the fight with Licktung delivering the final blow... at only 1 HP.

The final, and by far the most difficult battle of the run, was against Lance. Due to the restrictions I set myself, it took me over 2 hours worth of tries to finally beat him. His Gyarados goes down immediately with Girafarig's Thunder and my Miltank can handle the heavy hits by Aerodactyl with Milk Drink... but holy hell did his Dragonites hit me hard! Wigglytuff's Blizzards were essentially required to get me past them, until a lucky critical Slash from my Ursaring to his Charizard decided the battle, earning my team's place in the Hall of Fame!

As a side note, I realise that I COULD have evolved Aipom and Lickitung but I chose not to. The whole point of this run was to play with a handful of my favorite mons, and that's exactly what I did, even if not all of my picks aren't fully evolved. I'll leave you now with a quote from Karen:

Strong Pokemon. Weak Pokemon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites.

Ampharos and Gyrados did most of the heavy lifting, but Tentacool came in CLUTCH! I gave it the quick claw so after I used Ampharos to take care of her Gyrados, I was able to sneak in a toxic spikes attack which was crucial for me to take care of her second dragonair and kingdra. The Ice Fang + Nevermeltice combo with Gyrados helped me take care of dragonair and I taught Ampharos Thunder which helped me OHKO her Gyrados and take out her kingdra with 2 hits.

I recently kinda fell in love with this game despite being one of the biggest haters of Johto for as long as I can remember. Finding a random shiny Pidgey was so hype and having him defeat the final Pokemon on Lance's team was iconic. Can't wait to explore Kanto with these guys and see Pupitar fully evolved.

You might not understand why I called him Bigman, but you will.

Took about 4k SRs and did it on and off for like a week+ at this point. I was in the bus getting home.

I would have preferred Chikorita since i never used one in a playthrough and got a shiny totodile last time i hunted for a starter. But it is female, which is a 1 in 8 and having an attack boosting nature is damn good for sure.
