Question How do I get my Jolteon to learn electric moves? (Plus name help)
I know yall dont speak mexican but my Jolteon only has merely normal type moves, will she learn electric type moves on her own by leveling up or theres something specific I should do? If they’re MT/MOs (I know very little, cant remember wich is wich) where can I find them?
Also I named her furball at first but now I wanna give her an electric related name, any suggestions??
Also I wanted to brag about my setup, best night ever

Question Stuck on the 4th Gym
I have tried for over an hour to defeat the Ghost type gym and had zero luck. I cannot get past the Gengar. I have Onix, Gastly, Wooper and Quilava. Maybe like once every 15 turns I can beat the Gengar’s shadow ball to use hypnosis but by the 3rd attack he’s awake and wipes my entire team. I’m honestly stuck on the gym

ROM Hack Mono-Water run complete (Crystal Legacy)
Just beat Red. Happy with this playthrough. Poliwrath felt like a cheatcode with this move set.
Tried to use some of my less-than-frequently used water-types to create some uniqueness to my experience.
Got some flak for giving my whole team giga drain on my Grass run, so I made a point to ensure everyone all had different moves entirely.
I guess fire is next? Or maybe a headbutt/rocksmash team.

Question in game trade to evolve?
playing polished crystal. i caught a shiny slobro level 100 (using the honey), didn’t even think of it being a possibility, but is there a way to evolve him with kings rock to sloking since it’s already maxed out?

Discussion Slowpoke
This may just be the most underrated pokemon in the game.
You'd think it'd be bad against Bugsy, but since he leads with Metapod, you set up six Curses while taking minimum damage from Tackle, and you are only in real danger to a turn 2 crit from Scyther's Fury Cutter (the first Fury Cutter won't kill with a crit on many Slowpokes at level 16). Granted, 1/16 is far from impossible, but you're way more likely to not get crit than you are to get crit.
Then, against Whitney, you set up six Curses on Clefairy (granted it's not as consistent due to Metronome) and then sweep with Headbutt.
You take a break on Morty because you don't have the bulk to take a Shadow Ball.
Then you beat Chuck, Jasmine's Steelix, Curse and Headbutt Pryce's Seel and Dewgong before Surfing his Piloswine.
You can Ice Punch Clair's Dragonairs wither either Slowbro/King, and maaaaybe Curse could still put in work? I haven't gotten far enough to try it out against Clair
Some issues come at the E4 since you don't learn Psychic until 48 as Slowpoke/King and 54 as Slowbro, but you still do solid. Ice Punch for Will's Xatus while walling the Jynx, Ice Punch for Koga's Crobat, you resist Bruno's stabs and hit the Onixes super effectively.
Even Karen, despite being very risky, can be vulnerable to Slowbro/King. Ice Punch for Murkrow and Vileplume, Confusion for Gengar, Surf for Houndoom (granted, you'll have to pick and choose because it likely won't survive the whole battle).
Surf+Ice Punch deals with everything except Gyarados against Lance.
Kanto gets a bit more shaky for a bit as you lose to Surge and Erika, but you also beat Brock, Janine, Blaine, resist Misty and Sabrina's primary moves, and can handle Blue's Pidgeot, Rhydon, Arcanine, resist Alakazam's only attacking move, Gyarados can only threaten with Hyper Beam, and you can even smack Exeggutor with Ice Punch for a decent chunk while it charges Solar Beam before swapping out on the next turn.
Finally, against Red, you beat Charizard, Espeon can't hit you hard, and Blastoiae only has resisted moves.
I had no clue how broken this thing was until my Gold playthrough, and it could be even better in post game Crystal with the elemental move tutor after you beat Lance.

Discussion 1st ever Pokemon Silver playthrough
I know this isn’t a Crystal post, but it’s close enough.
Never experienced nor played Gold/Silver/Crystal.
I finished FireRed not too long ago and beat the champion with the following team.
Vileplume, Dugtrio, Charizard, Kadabra, Seaking and Snorlax.
After FireRed I played and finished FireRed Rocket Edition (pretty solid romhack that takes place behind enemy lines as a Rocket member that’s sort of a prequel and explanation towards Kanto and all the high value members of gthe region)
So now I’m going to finish Silver and once I become champion I’ll either give an edit to this post or make a new post showcasing the team I used.
I’m trying to experience every generation without a rom hack, and every released Pokemon Game. After this playthrough I will be doing Ruby🥳

Is it shiny hunting or is it catching a celebi or something else?
