It truly was a Shawshank redemption

Sore loser rant alert: I am convinced Platinum AI cheats. In the Eterna Gym battle I figured I'd set up some Double Teams on her first Pokemon since I knew it couldn't damage me much. I got off 3 Double Teams (it used Reflet, Sunny Day and then I outsped it), yet Razor Leaf still hit despite being <100 accuracy without Double Team. Then I used it a 4th time.....Razor Leaf hit again.

Then in the Galactic HQ battle against Stuntank, I started off with a Double Team once more. Not one Night Slash missed in 4 attempts. The 4th was a critical and Apollo the Staravia died. Most likely just bad luck, but come on, not even one miss in all those attempts. Something feels fishy.

Dang! That's an absolute bummer but yeah I've said it all the time. the AI in Platinum is insane and has it out for you.

Besides Starly and Zubat (and its respective evolution) what other Flying types are out there exactly? I guess for you who I think doesn't do the can't catch the same Pokemon more than once won't matter. But it's something that just came to mind. Are there any other decent fliers in Platinum other than Staraptor and Crobat?

It truly was a Shawshank redemption

I've been forgetting to take notes so this update is from memory mostly:

The Eterna City gym battle went very smoothly. Apollo rocketed through Gardenia's underlings, Wing Attacking to his heart's content, before coming face to face with the leader herself. The battle was rather uneventful, although Gardenia appeared to have the Pokemon Gods on her side. Apollo set up with 3 Double Teams just to be safe (although Gardenia's penchant for Magical Leaf made them redundant), yet was hit by a Razor Leaf, and a 4th Double Team was met with the same result. However, Apollo never looked like losing and we had our second badge.

However, we were given little time to revel in the victory. During the showdown with a Team Galactic higher up, we were handed our second death when Apollo was felled by a critically hit Night Slash (the Gods again decided to desert us, a Double Team once again used to no avail after FOUR Night Slashes hit without one failure). Wolf the Bibarel was sent in to take down the demon Skuntank, but the damage had been done.

With the spectre of death looming over our shoulder, we pressed on to Hearthome City in search of our third badge. The gym leader Fantina came with a fearsome reputation, one made even more imposing by yet another death. Leon the Luxray met his demise during a grinding session in preparation for the upcoming battle. Fearing more losses, I headed straight for the gym. Druss the Grotle Bit his way through the gym trainers and right through Fantina, with the help of an X Attack and an X Special Defence, and we were handed our third badge.

A battle with our rival Barry followed, but our superior type advantage meant that the fight was over in a flash. Our journey continues through Solaceon Town and onwards to Veilstone City.

Not really sure what to evolve my Eevee into. I'm want Flareon because a Fire type would be handy, but it doesn't learn a useful Fire attack until Lv. 46. I'm tempted to go Espeon, but that's a pain to get. I'll keep it as is for the moment and use it as a sort of trump card to fill a needed type. Also, Bibarel is surprisingly useful. STAB Return does an impressive amount of damage.

Excellent work Mitas, excellent work. I'm proud of you. I remember the loss of Appolo in your previous post.

As far as fire types go, I would like to say there is a possibility of catching both a Ponyta and Magmar up near that area in Floroma (spelling) gardens (where you get the honey) once you learn surf. Honestly, the fact that Flareon doesn't learn any good fire moves until such a high level makes him rather useless. Of course if you get some Heart sales I guess you could always go to the move tutor.

If I made a suggestion, it would probably be Umbreon. Espeon I feel is only going to be useful directly with the fighting gym and I feel you'll be able to provide some measure of support without needing to resort to psychic type. Of course Umbreon would suck on that gym as well. It's just that, you'd have something at least neutral to a lot of things.

it's only weak against Bug (which is weak as balls to begin with) Fighting, which can be handled in all other ways) and Fairy...which does not exist yet. Especially the fact that Umbreon is known for its great Defense and Special Defense, it might not be a crowd burster, but it would at least be something to stay in the game and chip off damage. Especially nice when you face off against Team Galactic who often have a lot of Dark Types, including Skunktank, Murkrow, etc.

Plus, eevee learns the Dark Move bite at Level 29 already I think, and Umbreon learns Faint Attack at 36, a move I would like to remind never misses. Something that would be pretty nice when barry's staravia/staraptor starts Double Teaming.

Just had another death, my Shellos. Not a loss in the short term because it was pretty frail and didn't hit too hard atm, but a Gastrodon would have been pretty useful later on.

But yeah, Eevee is always so awkward because there's a massive gap between STAB moves for it's evolution line. The weaker one is so early and the stronger ones are so late on, except Umbreon, but it doesn't hit hard enough for it to matter too much.

Yeah that's true.

Out of pure stupidity (my DS was on red and I thought I had a longer amount of time to get my charger than I actually did) I lost a chunk of playing time when my battery ran out. It wasn't a massive amount, but just enough that I can't be bothered picking it up again. Annoyingly I was in pretty good shape, but ah well, I'll probably take a break from Pokemon until the new games (although I said that after my last one).

Ah man, that bites. A little bit of relaxation will be good but you should definitely continue, especially if you didn't lose too much data.

I didn't lose too much, just a bit of grinding before the 4th gym and the gym battle itself. I just can't be assed with doing it all again. I haven't felt that invested in my last few attempts anyway, a break is probably a good idea.

Yeah I really want to get the last Pokemon game. Sylveon is such an awesome Pokemon. I would love to have a Sylveon!

Sylveon is cool, but it's probably one of my least favourite Eeveelutions (which isn't saying much because every Eeveelution is awesome). Hard to pick an actual favourite, but it definitely comes down to either Vaporeon, Leafeon or Glaceon. I like Flareon a lot too.
