I get all the way through the Elite Four on the first try with no issues whatsoever, plow through all of the champion's pokemon until the very last one and suddenly every one of its moves one shots every type of pokemon ever or some shit?
FUCK THIS SPECIFIC LUCARIO
I'm never playing Pokemon Diamond again
Nathaniel Reyes
>Complaining about difficulty in Pokemon user, what the fuck?
Hunter Perry
It's not the difficulty itself, it's the shitty exponential difficulty curve. I will illustrate
Lucas Hall
garchomp is the only pokemon that puts an end to me, in platinum atleast
Xavier Jones
This would be fine though, and also not completely stupid
Mason James
>Complaining about difficulty in Diamond/Pearl >not Platinum Garchomp
Henry Russell
>playing DP >having trouble with DP >not packing any Fire or Ground coverage for Steel types
Connor Watson
>using legendaries in the main story >not getting based hippopotas
Blake Perry
>Uses legendaries >Complains about difficult in a pokemon game
Neck yourself already.
Juan Gonzalez
>fire types exists in DP?
Jace Bennett
I never had an issue with garchomp. It's always been roserade (or togekiss in Pt.)
Gabriel Ortiz
>needing a Fire type to use Fire moves
Also
>using a legendary >one that clearly hasn't even been used much since you caught it as it's still its met level
Lucas Hernandez
Fuck off DSP
Adam Kelly
>Struggling in Pokemon >Using a legendary in your team >Posting in Sup Forums instead of /vp/ comon now user
Luis Morris
debuffs and status effects are extremely crippling in pokémon, use them.
Charles Gutierrez
>lose fight >invest all your money in revival herbs >level your Empoleon You'd better have chosen Empoleon, faggot. on the rest of the elite 4 >come back with a 20 level advantage >wipe him Congrats, you've been unfucked. >using the trash legendary lake faeries
Just use Gliscor, it's immune to Eartquake, resists Aura Sphere and it' neutral to the other two, having enough bulk. It also has nice attack to OHKO Lucario with Earthquake.
Ayden Ross
u try using infernape retard?
Leo Peterson
Post your team OP, so we can give you suggestions and eventually make fun of you.
Henry James
>Grinding to beat a Pokémon game come on now.
Dominic Johnson
>gyarados with avalanche >1 shot garchomp
Jonathan Wright
It takes 10 minutes, you can even do it on accident by not rotating all your mons enough and just having a good coverage moveset on your carrymon, anyway.
Bentley Young
>Not platinum >Not playing hack editions who fix all the bullshit gamefreaks put in their games so you buy the two editions >Not playing in an emulator with turbo mode to train >Using legendaries You deserve everything bad that happens to you.
Andrew Bennett
>having trouble in any pokemon game Use only your favourite pokemon and box all you others, see how far you get. Do this a couple of times for a couple of levels then unbox the rest of your team.
Jaxon Baker
You just suck!
Nicholas Watson
Why is Lucario half steel-type?
Nathaniel Sanders
Why isn't Goodra 100% Fe.male
Noah Hill
lucario's part donut steel
Landon Ward
Why in the holy fuck would you ever play Diamond or Pearl instead of Emerald?
Lucas Cruz
Er, I mean Platinum, not Emerald (although Emerald is also better than DP).
Julian Phillips
Just get a ghost type to use curse on him then wait 4 turns. It's literally that easy.
Anthony Garcia
>legendary eh it's just azelf, it's good sure but not op
just because something is "legendary" doesn't mean it's automatically good, look at articuno and regice
Kevin Carter
He's right, DP was harder. They reduced the levels of all of Cynthia's Pokemon in PT.
Oliver Sullivan
Except Azelf actually isn't complete dogshit like Articuno and Regice. It has great speed, attack, and special attack. More than enough to shit all over anything ingame.
Jaxon Phillips
Begone, Slug-fucker
Joseph Price
10/10

>that one kid whose team consisted of his starter at level 80, 4 legies, and some Mon at level 100 that he traded with his older brother >"I dare you to challenge me, user. I'm a Pokemon master!
Andrew Nelson
i really fucked myself on my last plat run beacuse all mons that i had using ice attacks were weak to ground so, garchomp stomp my ass.
got myself a gliscor on the elite 4 re-matches to he would no longer be a problem.
Jace Ross
This. Infernape can destroy everything in DP and Pt. It's probably the best starter in 4th gen and the second best starter in the entire series.
Jaxon Ortiz
>implying it will survive garchomps outrage.
Julian Ramirez
oh it's good sure, but there's other non legendaries that can match up to it it's not like he's using say, dialga
