Re: <|[Game]|> The Riddle Game, version 8 (Approved by Lady Vulpix)

[mr_pikachu]

Okay, obviously we lost some posts due to the server move. However, I have restored the scores to their rightful places, right up to Blademaster's winning of the Mr. Mime right before the move.

As it's been almost a week since that figurine was won, normally someone else could post the next riddle and claim the Mr. Mime. However, I think an exception is in order due to extenuating circumstances. So Blademaster, it's your turn to post the next riddle. For the "post the next riddle within five days" rule, we'll count this post as the starting point of that time period.

Let's get back to the game! Blademaster, give it a go! ^_^

Mewtwo

I cannot be moved,
I cannot be reached,
Mewtwo can't be reached unless you beat the Elite Four. It doesn't move around so you can only find it in one spot

Mewtwo is one of the most powerful pokemon ever. In the movie no one could breach his defenses

Mewtwo is a psyhic and psychic pokemon are considered to be wise. His attacks are powerful enough to wipe out pokemon in 1 hit.

[mr_pikachu]

As a note, I hope it's not Mewtwo. Blademaster isn't a Riddle Game worker, so he's not allowed to give out legendaries.

Snorlak

I cannot be moved,
I cannot be reached,
You can't move a snorlaz because of its weight and you can't wake it up no matter what you do unless you have a pokeflute

My defenses are mighty;

Snorlax has good defense and can rest in order to recover its health making it hard to breach its defenses


If you wish to defeat me,

A lot of Snorlaxs attacks don't miss and we've seen in the show that a snorlax will try to eat other pokemon. In the orange islands, Ash's snorlax tried to eat an oddish

[mr_pikachu]

Hmm. Is this Abra/Kadabra/Alakazam?



I cannot be moved,
I cannot be reached,

All the Pokemon in this line are difficult to reach because they can Teleport away. They can also learn moves like Reflect, Light Screen, Barrier, and Protect to keep enemies from approaching and moving them.


My defenses are mighty;
They cannot be breached.

In addition to the aforementioned arsenal of moves, these Pokemon also boast fairly solid Special Defense capabilities.


If you wish to defeat me,
Then heed what I say:
I've impeccable wisdom;

This evolutionary line is known for its intelligence; Alakazam in particular has an IQ of 5,000 according to the Crystal and Sapphire Pokedexes.


My attacks scarcely missed 'em,

Most of these Pokemon's best moves, including Psychic and the elemental punches, have 100% accuracy. Furthermore, they can read minds. Although they don't have the abilities of either Lock On or Mind Reader, they could potentially predict their opponents' moves in a similar manner as the latter.


As I disintegrated my prey.

These three are the original kings of Psychic Pokemon, and their power is nothing to scoff at. Also, wasn't an Alakazam one of the two Pokemon that totally obliterated Pokemopolis?

[Blademaster]

It may be a Skarmory.



I cannot be moved,

Skarmory has a very impressive Defense, which is why it works so well in the BlissSkarm combo.


I cannot be reached,

Skarmory flies through the sky, out of range of most opponents.


My defenses are mighty;
They cannot be breached.

Again, it has a very high Defense stat.


If you wish to defeat me,
Then heed what I say:
I've impeccable wisdom;

The combination of Flying and Steel types is very good, as it leaves weaknesses against only Fire and Electric attacks. Finding such a combination could be considered wise, and using its near-invulnerability against Physical moves in combination with Blissey's similar resistance to Special moves is especially smart.


My attacks scarcely missed 'em,

Skarmory learns no-miss attacks like Swift and Aerial Ace, and it can also have Keen Eye to prevent any loss of accuracy.


As I disintegrated my prey.

The combination of tough defenses with strong, slashing and stabbing attacks leaves many opponents helpless.

[Blademaster]

It may be...

Okay, let's try Shedinja.


I cannot be moved,
I cannot be reached,
My defenses are mighty;
They cannot be breached.

Shedinja's Wonder Guard ability makes it nearly untouchable in every sense of the word.


If you wish to defeat me,
Then heed what I say:
I've impeccable wisdom;

Shedinja is incredibly unique, as the only Pokemon totally invulnerable to the majority of attacks. It is also mysterious, as it appears "unsought in a Pokeball" after Nincada evolves into Ninjask. Further, it seems to be a hollow shell, adding to its enigmatic nature. Any opponent must know what attacks can defeat it, thus cementing the importance of wisdom.


My attacks scarcely missed 'em,

Shedinja can learn Aerial Ace, which never misses. In fact, the vast majority of its attacks have 100% accuracy.


As I disintegrated my prey.

Didn't the Shedinja in the Togetic episodes in the anime utterly obliterate anything that got in the way of its trainer with its Hyper Beam?

[Blademaster]

Again, we're making some progress, but for the most part you're still missing something.

[The Blue Avenger]

Onix/Steelix

I cannot be moved,
I cannot be reached,

Onix and Steelix are big Pokemon and not likely to be moved anywhere. Onix is rare, and Steelix can't be found anywhere in the wild.

My defenses are mighty;
They cannot be breached.

They have good Defense, and Steelix has a Metal Coat that would be hard to breach as well.

If you wish to defeat me,
Then heed what I say:
I've impeccable wisdom;

This is kinda bizarre, but I'm making a connection to wisdom teeth, and Steelix has very, very prominent teeth.

My attacks scarcely missed 'em,
As I disintegrated my prey.

Being so big, any physical attacks these guys launch will probably hit. Also, they get Dragonbreath, which, as a flame-like attack, could disintegrate stuff.

[Blademaster]

Nope, still not it. Next hint.

Okay, I think I have an idea now... Let's start by trying Sudowoodo.



I cannot be moved,
It can have both Sturdy and Rock Head.

I cannot be reached,
Sudowoodo disguises himself as a tree to keep from being attacked.

My defenses are mighty;
They cannot be breached.
While its Special Defense is somewhat lacking, its Defense is quite powerful.

If you wish to defeat me,
Then heed what I say:
I've impeccable wisdom;
It takes a lot of intelligence to disguise oneself so creatively. Also, trainers must be smart to attack it knowing the weaknesses of Rock Pokemon rather than Grass-types.

My attacks scarcely missed 'em,
Once more, most of its attacks have 100% accuracy.

As I disintegrated my prey.
Opponents must be tough to withstand its powerful physical attacks.

[Blademaster]

That's the closest guess so far.

Lileep / Cradily

I cannot be moved,

Their ability keeps them from leaving battle through Whirlwind and the like.

I cannot be reached,

They're ancient Pokemon - getting to them'll be difficult.

My defenses are mighty;
They cannot be breached.

They're rock types, so their defense is decent.

If you wish to defeat me,
Then heed what I say:
I've impeccable wisdom;

Wisdom comes with age.

My attacks scarcely missed 'em,
As I disintegrated my prey.

They can use Swallow... stomach acid, maybe? They can also use the move Acid.

[Blademaster]

Though the reasons are a bit screwed up, we have a winner!


I cannot be moved,
Cradily is a hefty Pokemon with Suctioncups.

I cannot be reached,
Cradily exists 4 million years out of reach - even if it was sitting right beside you, you'd never realize it.

My defenses are mighty;
They cannot be breached.
Cradily is a Grass/Rock Pokemon, which means all attacks (except Steel, Ice, and Fighting attacks) are either neutral or ineffective against it.


If you wish to defeat me,
Then heed what I say:
Not really relevant at all, but a Cradily (Steven's) must be defeated in order to win the game in RSE.

I've impeccable wisdom;
Cradily is a stone plant, so you'd think it to be brainless in every sense of the word; in truth, it is quite an intelligent predator.

My attacks scarcely missed 'em,
All of Cradily's natural attacks and most of its learned attacks have 100% accuracy. The least accurate of the moves it can learn is Rock Tomb (80% accurate), making it quite a lethal sharpshooter.

As I disintegrated my prey.
The RSE Pokedex states that Cradily binds its prey with its tentacles, from which it then secretes a digestive fluid that melts the victim.


Nicely done, Jeff-o. :yes:

Rockin'. Here we go!

You’ve seen me before
Coming back for more
When the going gets rough
I’m not always tough

It’s a double-edged sword
I’m usually bored
You may think it’s wrong
But I never stay for long

So let’s get to it!
I’ve got a sharp wit
Anywhere we go is fine with me
As long as I can assure my safety

[mr_pikachu]

Is this Psyduck?


You’ve seen me before
Coming back for more
Psyduck appeared first in the days of RBY, although it still appears as one of Misty's Pokemon.

When the going gets rough
I’m not always tough
Psyduck is extremely timid; it was afraid to learn how to swim in a Pokemon Chronicles episode.

It’s a double-edged sword
In the anime, Psyduck must get a headache in order to use its psychic abilities. Therefore, it is only powerful if it gets hurt.

I’m usually bored
Psyduck is very dim-witted, or at least it appears that way most of the time. It also tends to forget using its psychic powers after the fact, according to various Pokedex entries.

You may think it’s wrong
But I never stay for long
Psyduck often releases itself from its Pokeball, only to get lectured or kicked by Misty. It rarely participates in battles, with rare exceptions such as Misty vs. Ash in the Whirl Cup.

So let’s get to it!
I’ve got a sharp wit
Psyduck can learn Psychic attacks like Hypnosis, Confusion, Future Sight, and Psybeam that are normally associated with highly intelligent Pokemon.

Anywhere we go is fine with me
As long as I can assure my safety
Again, Psyduck is frightened by just about everything, and is usually willing to battle only after its psychic abilities have already been unleashed.

[The Blue Avenger]

Sorry, not quite.

[mr_pikachu]

Perhaps Slowpoke/Slowbro/Slowking would be a little more accurate.


You’ve seen me before
Coming back for more

While this evolution line originated in RBY, it gained an extra link in the chain later (Slowking), thereby "coming back for more."


When the going gets rough
I’m not always tough

Slowpoke's defenses aren't great, and depending on its evolution it has difficulty dealing with either Physical attacks (Slowking) or Special attacks (Slowbro).


It’s a double-edged sword
I’m usually bored

Slowpoke is dopey, but that grants it a natural resistance against pain. It can only become stronger if it is bitten my a Shellder - being bitten is usually considered a bad thing.


You may think it’s wrong
But I never stay for long

These Pokemon aren't often used on competitive battling teams; while Slowbro was a viable option in RBY, none of these Pokemon are often used in the modern games. As a result, they don't "stay for long" in tournaments because they gets KOed quickly they are even used at all.


So let’s get to it!
I’ve got a sharp wit

These Pokemon have plenty of mental potential that can be unleashed, as it is when Slowpoke evolves into Slowking.


Anywhere we go is fine with me
As long as I can assure my safety

Slowpoke and Slowbro are fairly dim-witted and therefore don't care where they are. But if Slowbro and Slowking lose their attached Shellders during a harsh battle, they revert to being regular Slowpokes according to various Pokedexes.. Therefore, they would prefer to assure their own safety. Slowpoke would likely also wish to avoid being attacked.

[The Blue Avenger]

Nope again.

I was trying to wait for other people to guess... that certainly worked well. ^_^;

[The Blue Avenger]

Okey doke.

Answer: Rattata

You’ve seen me before
Coming back for more

Rattata's from RBY, and it's freaking everywhere.

When the going gets rough
I’m not always tough

Its ability is Run Away.

It’s a double-edged sword

Rattata can learn Double-Edge through TM and tutor.

I’m usually bored

Rattata's Pokedex entry says that it's constantly twitchy, so it would seem that it's impatient, bored, etc.

You may think it’s wrong
But I never stay for long

Again, it has Run Away.

So let’s get to it!
I’ve got a sharp wit

A reference more to Rattata's sharp teeth than anything else. Also, it can get a lot of elemental attacks, showing that its mental capacity is probably more than expected.

Anywhere we go is fine with me
As long as I can assure my safety

Rattata will live anywhere, but its Pokedex entry says that it is cautious to the extreme.

[mr_pikachu]

Congrats for winning the Rattata, Hypotenuse Man!

It's a rock pokemon, which moves very slowly. It has one of the best defenses in tha game allowing it to take a lot of hits

Come on, people! Time's almost up!


EDIT: Well, 15 days have passed, so here's the solution.


Answer: MANTINE

Impressive I am, but limited too,
Mantine is a rare combination of Water/Flying types, but it has a fairly small movepool.

I lack any power; all I am is new.
Most of Mantine’s stats are weaker than Gyarados, the original Water/Flying Pokémon.

The weight of my burden slows me a bit,
Mantine is said to carry Remoraid hitchhikers, according to the Gold, Ruby and Sapphire Pokédexes.

But nevertheless I’ll take your best hit.
Mantine’s one advantage is an extremely high Special Defense, which allows it to effectively resist many moves.

If you think I’m the best, you’re in for a shock,
Gyarados is generally better than Mantine, although Electric moves devastate both – hence the “shock.”

Though continued importance is a total lock!
Mantine’s evolutionary line will grow further via its Diamond/Pearl pre-evolution, which means that trainers must seek the talents of Mantine even in the next generation.


Looks like I get the Mantine. I'll give the next riddle in a new post.

[mr_pikachu]

Nosepass

Wild at worst, though random at best,
Finding them randomly by breaking rocks is the best way to find them

I’ll use my nose now to seek out the rest.
Nosepass can use it's nose to detect things, according to the pokedex.

I’m not strong enough to pose any threat,
But my unique power can make your moveset!
It can learn electric attacks which is unique for a rock pokemon. It doesn't pose a real threat because it is a pure rock type which means its weak against a lot of types (water, grass, ground, steel, and fighting).

[mr_pikachu]

Good first try. A few of the lines are pretty close, although you're still missing something important.

Oh my, nobody guessing in a while. Oh well...

I'll merely try to guess with Houndour, Volbeat


Wild at worst, though random at best,
Houndour is rarely found in the Safari Zone Extension in Pokemon Emerald, but if someone uses the Wonder Spots, there is a chance that it appears randomly in the Altering Cave, making it easier to find.

Volbeat is rarely found in Ruby and uncommon to find in Sapphire, but it can learn Metronone.


I’ll use my nose now to seek out the rest.
Houndour can learn Odor Sleuth(I thnk that this is related to the nose)

Volbeat is attracted by the sweet "aroma" of Illumise(it uses the nose)


I’m not strong enough to pose any threat,
Both Pokemon's stats are not the best, and Volbeat is a Bug(vulnerable to Steel,Fire,Fighting,Poison,Flying and Ghost moves, a lot of weaknesses)


But my unique power can make your moveset!
Houndour is a dark Pokemon who learns Crunch, a very powerful dark attack for any moveset.

Volbeat can learn Signal Beam, a very good Bug attack, and it has very good abilities(Illuminate and Swarm)

[mr_pikachu]

You've got the right idea for a couple of lines, but the rest need a little refinement.

Smeargle's stats aren't very good in terms of attack, as I recall.

But my unique power can make your moveset!
Sketch is unique to Smeargle, and it literally makes your moveset into its own.

[mr_pikachu]

You're getting closer...


Wild at worst, though random at best,

Wild at worst, though random at best,
Encountering them in the wild can be a pain since your not prepared but encountering them in a random battle can show how well you can use/counter one.

I’ll use my nose now to seek out the rest.
I'm not sure about this one

I’m not strong enough to pose any threat,

Ditto isn't a real threat but once it transforms into your pokemon, it has your pokemon's entire moveset

[mr_pikachu]

Hmm... you're getting off track a bit. I think this hint will help a lot, though.

1. What Pokemon is able to "seek out" things?

[Shadow Wolf]

Hmm, I'm still a little confused, but I'll try again.

Let's see if this one is a Skitty

Wild at worst, though random at best,
Skitty is rare to find, but sometimes(it can be seen on the TV), massive encounters can be found on certain routes, making them easier to find.

I’ll use my nose now to seek out the rest.
I'm kinda clueless about this one, maybe Covet("seeks" an item held by the foe)

I’m not strong enough to pose any threat,
It has low stats...

But my unique power can make your moveset!
Assist(attacks randomly with a partner move)

Oh, if I can get a birthday figurine, I would ike a big one(like a Wailord figurine)

[mr_pikachu]

You almost nailed the critical line of this riddle... keep trying!

[Fett One]

Meowth

Wild at worst, though random at best,
This i'm not sure about

I’ll use my nose now to seek out the rest.
Meowth can find items after a battle

I’m not strong enough to pose any threat,
Meowth's attack isn't that high so it doesn't pose that much of a threat

But my unique power can make your moveset!
Meowth can learn psych up which copies a pokemon's stats and it can learn mimic which copies one of your opponents attacks.

[mr_pikachu]

Clearly, the hint helped... you're getting really close to the right idea now.

1. What Pokemon is able to "seek out" things?

[Blademaster]

Zigzagoon/Linoone.


Wild at worst, though random at best,
RSE is INFESTED with Zigzagoon, but Linoone are rather hard to find by comparison.

I’ll use my nose now to seek out the rest.
Both have the Pick Up Ability and can learn Odor Sleuth.

I’m not strong enough to pose any threat,
Neither one has very high stats...

But my unique power can make your moveset!
...But being Normal types, they can both learn a wide array of powerful attacks.

[mr_pikachu]

Well done, Blademaster! You've solved the riddle!


Zigzagoon

Wild at worst, though random at best,
Zigzagoon restlessly wanders everywhere in a zigzag pattern.

I’ll use my nose now to seek out the rest.
Its ability of Pickup allows it to find items. Also, it can use Odor Sleuth in battle to sniff out the enemy.

I’m not strong enough to pose any threat,
Zigzagoon is a weak Pokemon, to be sure.

But my unique power can make your moveset!
Since it is able to find rare items for Pokemon to hold, Zigzagoon can be a huge asset to any trainer. In fact, it is a viable option for the Battle Pyramid solely because of this ability.


Nicely done, Blade!

[Shadow Wolf]

So close but so far, that was going to be my next guess but I was beaten to it, congrats Blade.

So uh, it looks like I can't get my b-day figurine, right?

*points up*

If so, then it doesn't matter.

Congrats again Blade!!!

[mr_pikachu]

Yeah, sorry about that, but since it's definitely not your birthday anymore... :(

[mr_pikachu]

Well, since Blademaster has informed me that he doesn't want to post the next riddle...

I'll bet someone gets this before the first hint.

[Hinoryu]

Igglybuff

A child so cute,

Igglybuff is a baby Pokemon

With a lovely voice.

Igglybuff learns Sing.

I bounce all about

Igglybuff's Pokedex entry states it's very bouncy.

By my own free choice.

Not sure on this one.

But beware my lips,
Or you’ll go for a slip!

These both refer to it learning Sweet Kiss, I think.

[mr_pikachu]

Wow, that was fast! The only line you missed was the "free choice" one... Igglybuff chooses to bounce rather than walk on its stubby legs.

But anyway, the Igglybuff is yours, Hinoryu! Congratulations on winning your first figurine! Now it's your turn to post the next riddle.

[Hinoryu]

Wow, first try. Is that a record? Hm, either way, let's see.

You first got me when you got a high score
But now I'm smaller than I was before
I'm stronger than ever, but still quite slow
But what I'll do, not even my owner knows
I can do anything, but still can't fly
Yet I'm meant to go high, above the sky.

Good luck.

[Shadow Wolf]

That one sounds like Porygon 2

You first got me when you got a high score
It's pre-evolution(Porygon) could be obtaied by buying it at the Game Corner with 9999 coins(6500 on Leaf Green)

But now I'm smaller than I was before
Porygon is 2'07" while Porygon 2 is 2'00"

I'm stronger than ever, but still quite slow
It has improved stats, but with the speed at 60, it's still kinda slow

But what I'll do, not even my owner knows
The Pokedex says that sometimes it may exhibit emotions not programmed by the humans.

I can do anything, but still can't fly
Yet I'm meant to go high, above the sky.

Another reference to what the Pokedex says: "It is designed for space exploration, however, it can't even fly."

[Hinoryu]

... Well, crap. I guess I made it too easy. Congrats, you got it first try.

[Shadow Wolf]

Ah, thanks Hinoryu. This one is my second figurine so far.

OK, let's see if I've improved with my riddles:

I pick up my reward
While climbing to the top
Careful while I go down
‘Cause I can make things pop.

Don’t try to take me down
With single killing blows
Or I might make a blast
That knocks us out with flow.

Good Luck!

[mr_pikachu]

I'll try Phanpy/Donphan.


I pick up my reward
While climbing to the top

Donphan's preevolution, Phanpy, has the ability of Pickup. Donphan doesn't have it, so the line only "picks up" its reward while it's climbing the evolutionary ladder.


Careful while I go down
‘Cause I can make things pop.

Both Pokemon can use Rollout; things obviously roll with greater speed when moving downhill. This greater speed gives more power to make things "pop."


Don’t try to take me down
With single killing blows
Or I might make a blast
That knocks us out with flow.

I think this refers to Double-Edge, which can take out both Pokemon in battle. It could also be talking about the Endure+Flail combo, which certainly does have blasting power.

[Mega Horny]

Errm, well, I'll guess Meowth/Persian, as they're not Donphan, but they're more suiting to the description that Ziggy and Linoone. Picking up rewards...aspiring to make it to the top...

[mr_pikachu]

Uh, MH? Would you mind explaining why they fit the rest of the description? You need reasons for six out of the eight lines...


EDIT: For some reason I was thinking the riddle only had six lines. >_<;;

[Mega Horny]

I pick up my reward
Meowth/Persian are known to pick up gold coins and whatnot.

While climbing to the top
Meowth aspires to become a Persian one day

Careful while I go down
‘Cause I can make things pop.
Sharp Claws pop stuff.

Don’t try to take me down
With single killing blows
Or I might make a blast
That knocks us out with flow.
Determination and revenge can prove to be powerful in the end, like with Tyson's Meowth

[Shadow Wolf]

Some good first tries, the first is a little more accureta than the second, but it needs a little change, like to a meaning directly related.

I pick up my reward
While climbing to the top
Careful while I go down
‘Cause I can make things pop.

Don’t try to take me down
With single killing blows
Or I might make a blast
That knocks us out with flow.

Incorrect:

1-Phanpy
2-Donphan
3-Meowth
4-Persian

(Cool, I have improved a little with my riddles, hint provided after every 3 player guesses)

[Fett One]

geodude/graveler/golem

I pick up my reward
While climbing to the top
Careful while I go down
‘Cause I can make things pop.
These pokemon are often found at the top if mountains. According to the sapphire pokedex Graveler eat rocks as they climb to the top. If you aren't careful you can get flatten when they decide to roll down the mountian.


Don’t try to take me down
With single killing blows
Or I might make a blast
That knocks us out with flow.
Some geodude/graveler/golem have the skill sturdy which prevents 1hit-ko's from effecting them. They can also learn explosion, which can knock out both trainers pokemon

[Shadow Wolf]

Hmm... guess that can't be helped...

Congratulations Fett One, the only part not guessed right was the part when he can make things pop (According to the pokedex, it can smash aside trees and giant boulders), but it doesn't matter, since you have just scored a Graveler figurine.

*figurine rolls to tip of the feets*

OK, now you get to post the next riddle.

[Fett One]

I have a knack for curing sleeping problems
Despite having sleeping problems of my own
Which only leads to confusion.

Don't ruffle my feathers
You'll only succeed in losing the edge
Unless I swagger away.

[kitsun]

I believe it is Doduo or Dodrio

I have a knack for curing sleeping problems
Both have the Early Bird ability, allowing them to wake easily from sleep

Despite having sleeping problems of my own
Several pokedex entries indicate that while one head sleeps, the other stays awake, for Doduo at least. I assume the same holds true for Dodrio.

Which only leads to confusion.
I am unsure to the meaning of this line.

Dont ruffle my feathers
I believe this refers to a bird pokemon or flying type.

You'll only succeed in losing the edge
A referance to the line above, perhaps, means the ability to learn Rage naturally. Also has the capacity to learn Double-Edge via TM in red/blue/yellow.

Unless I swagger away.
They can learn Swagger via TM in gold/silver.

[Fett One]

Doduo or Dodrio are both incorrectly. Nice guess though.

Incorrect:
Doduo
Dodrio

[mr_pikachu]

Hmm... what about Charizard/Dragonite/Gyarados?


I have a knack for curing sleeping problems
All three Pokemon can learn Sleep Talk and Snore, which keeps sleeping from being a problem.

Despite having sleeping problems of my own
Which only leads to confusion.
Charizard and Dragonite can learn Outrage, while Gyarados picks up Thrash. Both moves keep the Pokemon from sleeping during the attack but result in the user's confusion.

Don't ruffle my feathers
All three Pokemon are Flying types.

You'll only succeed in losing the edge
All three Pokemon can learn Double-Edge.

Unless I swagger away.
All three Pokemon can learn Swagger (surprise, surprise).

[Fett One]

Sorry, all three of those are wrong.

Incorrect:
Doduo

Charizard

Gyarados

[kitsun]

I guess Hoothoot, Noctowl, & Xatu

I have a knack for curing sleep problems
Hoothoot & Noctowl can learn sleep talk & snore in Gold & Silver while Xatu has the early bird ability.

While having sleep problems of my own
Hoothoot & Noctowl, however, have insomnia ability. Xatu stares into the sun all day, which can cause sleep problems, I imagine.

Which only leed to confusion
Hoothoot & Noctowl are confusing because of that counter productivity. Also, Hoothoot & Noctowl learn confusion, while Xatu learns confuse ray.

Don't ruffle my feathers
All three are bird pokemon and flyers.

You'll only suceed in losing the edge
All three pokemon are good to have in your party as they have good moves and type match-ups.

Unless I swagger away
Hoothoot & Noctowl can learn swagger.

EDIT; Changed 5th line reasoning. Is that better, mr_pikachu? Not good reasoning, I know, but it's the best that I could come up with.

[mr_pikachu]

kitsun, would you mind giving another reason for Xatu with one of the last two lines? 4 out of 6 doesn't meet the 75% quota, I'm afraid.

[Fett One]

mr_pikachu, it doesn't really matter since the correct answer is hoothoot. Also, since it is now Kitsun birthday, would you consider giving him a birthday figurine instead of a normal one?

I have a knack for curing sleeping problems
Despite having sleeping problems of my own
Which only leads to confusion.
Hoothoot can cure sleeping problems by using hypnosis but it can't cure itself of sleeping problems due to it's insominia ability. Once it puts an enemy to sleep with hypnosis, hoothoot can follow it up with confusion, to win the battle.


Don't ruffle my feathers
You'll only succeed in losing the edge
Unless I swagger away.
Hoothoot can learn feather dance, which lowers a pokemon attack, thus costing your opponent the offensive edge that it may have. However if Hoothoot uses swagger, it regains that offensive edge.


As you can see I based this riddle mostly off of hoothoot's attack list, since I thought that would make it more challenging.

[kitsun]

I suppose I shall post my riddle, though I have not yet recieved my figurine. And yes, It is my bithday today! 21 years old. Here's to the next 21 years!

I am true master of sky,
Even though I cannot fly.
Thru rain and sleet, but not dead of night
I can surely put up a fight.
Only few have more control than me
Of my true calling, you see.
My power has various types,
Though physical force is out of sight.

I hope my first riddle isn't too easy...

[mr_pikachu]

Actually, kitsun, you can get an additional figurine for your birthday. So, what would you like? You can choose any non-legendary to have as a birthday plushie.

And I'll go ahead and update the scores to reflect your win now that you've posted the next riddle. Congrats on your first figurine!

[kitsun]

Cool! A bulbasaur plushie, then. Bulbasaur is my favorite pokemon because it was my first starter I ever picked.

[Hinoryu]

Castform.

I am true master of sky,
Even though I cannot fly.

It can't fly, but it certainly does control the weather, ie, the sky.

Thru rain and sleet, but not dead of night
I can surely put up a fight.

Rain and hail both give Castform its other forms, but night doesn't give it any bonuses.

Only few have more control than me
Of my true calling, you see.

The only more powerful weather-related Pokemon are Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza, I believe.

My power has various types,
Though physical force is out of sight.

Castform can change its' form, and thus its' 'power', depending on the weather. However, its physical stats, as I recall, are terrible.

[kitsun]

Tch. Ok, maybe that one was waaaaaaay too easy. You are correct. Your reasoning is pretty much dead on too,though I was actually referring to elemental properties on it's last line. The Physical part was correct tho.

Your turn.

[Hinoryu]

Be careful; don't you dare fall for my trick
Or you'll be stolen away with a lick
If you feel some eyes but no one's around
It would be wise to look to the ground
Though I can't touch it and you can't touch me
If I see you, your best shot is to flee.

Don't have time to make it all in iambic pentameter like I wanted, pity.

Also, I'm sure everyone's going to get this pretty quick.

[mr_pikachu]

I'll guess Gastly/Haunter/Gengar.


Be careful; don't you dare fall for my trick
Or you'll be stolen away with a lick
All three Pokemon can acquire Lick. The Yellow Pokedex for Haunter says that it saps away its opponent's life by licking it; presumably its evolution and preevolution have similar talents.

If you feel some eyes but no one's around
It would be wise to look to the ground
These Pokemon can slip through solid walls, including floors. This is one of their ways of scaring people. The Yellow Pokedex specifically says that "A Gengar is close by if you feel a sudden chill."

Though I can't touch it and you can't touch me
If I see you, your best shot is to flee.
Fighting and Normal moves are useless against Ghost Pokemon, as you basically can't hit them with most physical moves. Rather than try to fight these three in a hopeless battle, it's better to run and avoid their curses.

[Hinoryu]

I swear Mr. Pikachu read my mind across the internet for this. Completely, totally dead on. Gengar's yours, good job.

[mr_pikachu]

Thanks for the Gengar, Hinoryu! ^_^ Now, it's time for another riddle...


If it was a grab
That you tried to make,
I was once the best
Of all you could take.

[Fett One]

Slugma/Magcargo

If it was a grab
That you tried to make,
I was once the best
Of all you could take.
They can be caught in the wild. It is a decent rock and fire pokemon since it can learn some of the strongest rock, fire, and normal type attacks.


My combination
Was perfect, it’s true.
But with a new land
Comes greater speed, too.
My moves once were perfect,
But now those are lies.
Being a rock/fire type makes it extremely weak against water. In ruby and saphire a lot of new water pokemon were introduced, which is a bad thing. All of those powerful attacks that it can learn won't do any good since there is a good chance that your opponent will be a water type.


If I am struck well,
You may lose your prize!
If you hit Slugma/Magcargo there is a chance og getting burned by it's flame body ability. This can decrease your chances of winning.

[mr_pikachu]

One of your explanations was close to the right idea... the rest, however, needs some rethinking.

[Shadow Wolf]

So uhh, I have ran out of ideas.

Who's that pokemon?

[mr_pikachu]

*sighs*

It's Parasect.


If it was a grab
That you tried to make,
I was once the best
Of all you could take.

In GSC, Parasect was the best Pokemon with Spore and False Swipe. (Paras was the only other Pokemon that could learn both those moves, and it was naturally weaker.)


My combination
Was perfect, it’s true.

Spore puts an opponent to sleep without fail, while False Swipe whittles down HP without inducing a KO. This is the best way to ensure a capture, besides using a better ball.


But with a new land
Comes greater speed, too.

With the addition of RSE came Breloom, a faster Pokemon with the same moves.


My moves once were perfect,
But now those are lies.

Parasect is not only slower than Breloom, but its Effect Spore ability could poison the opponent and spell catastrophe.


If I am struck well,
You may lose your prize!

Effect Spore has the potential to inflict a damage-dealing effect on the opponent if Parasect is hit; this may knock out the opponent and make you miss your capture.





Time for a new riddle. And please, more than one post with guesses at this one, okay? I'm actually going haiku to make it interesting! So c'mon!

Good luck. I hope you don't need it.

[Shadow Wolf]

Let's go for a quick guess. Is it Pidgeot

I’m the original

Introduced in RBY(original games). Also is one of the first Pokemon introduced in the Pokedex (fliying type only)

Lord of the skies. My feathers dance

It learns Featherdance

To attain twin mach.

The Pokedex says that it can reach a Mach 2 speed while flying.

[mr_pikachu]

Indeed!


I’m the original
Pidgeot is the first fully-evolved Flying Pokemon in the National Pokedex.

Lord of the skies. My feathers dance
Pidgeot learns Featherdance at Mach 2 in RSE.

[I]To attain twin mach.
According to the Yellow and Silver Pokedexes, Pidgeot flies at Mach 2.


The Pidgeot is yours, Louis. Take it away!

[Shadow Wolf]

Thanks mr_pikachu. I feel good now, because three figurines are a good start for a collection.

OK, I hope that my poetry skills are improved now. Here's the next riddle:

Coming from the second round
Flying wisdom I have found.
If I’m down, I’ll rise up quick
And a miss I’ll never pick.

If my mates have equal skills,
Be afraid, ‘cause we score kills.
Never try to smoke my field,
Or I’ll bite away your shield.


Hope this isn't too easy...

[mr_pikachu]

No problem! OK, let's see:

1-Spinarak(awarded by Blademaster, then I made Mr. Mime riddle)

2-Porygon2(awarded by Hinoryu, made Graveler riddle)

3-Pidgeot(awarded by mr_pikachu, actual riddle)

The game was moving fast at that time, so that's why my second figurine wasn't noticed. Sorry for not pointing that out earlier, but I also forgot which figurines I've won until now. ^_^;;

Hoothoot/Noctowl


Coming from the second round
Flying wisdom I have found.
It's a second generation pokemon. It's also an owl which are considered to be wise.

If I’m down, I’ll rise up quick
And a miss I’ll never pick.
Hoothoot/Noctowl can learn foresight which prevents your opponents pokemon from raising it's evasiveness.

If my mates have equal skills,
Be afraid, ‘cause we score kills.
Hypnosis/Dream eater combination is something to be afraid of

Never try to smoke my field,
Or I’ll bite away your shield.
Smokescreen increases a pokemon evasiveness, which can be overcome with foresight, allowing you to use peck to attack, which is the bird equivulant of biting.

[Shadow Wolf]

Nice guess!

You have one of the ideas, but it's not enough to solve the riddle. Try to go a little more on the descriptive side.

Ladyba/Ledian

Coming from the second round
Flying wisdom I have found.
It's a second generation pokemon.

If I’m down, I’ll rise up quick
And a miss I’ll never pick.
Ladyba/Ledian has the ability swarm which raises it's bug type attacks when it's health gets low. It learns swift, which never misses and it learns silver wing a bug tyoe attack that has 100% accuracy.

If my mates have equal skills,
Be afraid, ‘cause we score kills.
I'm not sure about this one

Never try to smoke my field,
Or I’ll bite away your shield.
Ladyba/Ledian can learn brick break which destroyes all shield attacks such as light screen and reflect.

[Shadow Wolf]

You've nailed one of the ideas, and you have a clue of another one. Keep trying, 'cause you're getting closer. Oh, and don't forget that it's Ledyba(not Ladyba). ;)

Illumise/Volbeat

Coming from the second round
Flying wisdom I have found.
According to the pokedex they like to fly into the sky and create designs made of light

If I’m down, I’ll rise up quick
And a miss I’ll never pick.
Volbeat has the ability swarm which raises it's bug type attacks when it's health gets low. It learns silver wing, a bug type attack that has 100% accuracy. and it benefits from swarm. Illumise has flatter which will raise it's special attack increasing the effectiveness of silver wing.

If my mates have equal skills,
Be afraid, ‘cause we score kills.
Illumise/Volbeat can learn helping hand, which increases the others attack during a double battle, which makes winning in 1 hit more likely.

Never try to smoke my field,
Or I’ll bite away your shield.
Illumise/Volbeat can learn brick break which destroyes all shield attacks such as light screen and reflect.

Houndour/Houndoom


Coming from the second round
Flying wisdom I have found.
Second generation pokemon

If I’m down, I’ll rise up quick
And a miss I’ll never pick.
Houndour/Houndoom has the ability Early Bird which causes it to wake up faster than normal, thus rising quickly from it's sleep. Most of their attacks have 100% accurecy.

If my mates have equal skills,
Be afraid, ‘cause we score kills.
According to the pokedex Houndour/Houndoom hunt in packs that are unparralled by any other pokemon, which make them extremely dangerous. Also pokemon are afraid of their howls.

Never try to smoke my field,
Or I’ll bite away your shield.
Fire creates smoke, and fire has no effect on the ones that have Flash Fire as an ability, which free's them to use their bite and crunch attacks.

[Shadow Wolf]

Excellent Fett One, your efforts are awarded with a Houndour figurine. Congratulations!

Houndour is a second generation Pokemon

Flying wisdom I have found.
If I’m down, I’ll rise up quick
And a miss I’ll never pick.

Houndour has the Early Bird ability, which causes Houndour to rise up quickly from sleep. It also learns Faint attack(an attack that cannot miss)

If my mates have equal skills,
Be afraid, ‘cause we score kills.

You've guessed this one exactly: "According to the pokedex Houndour/Houndoom hunt in packs that are unparralled by any other pokemon, which make them extremely dangerous."

Never try to smoke my field,
Or I’ll bite away your shield.

Another one exactly guessed: "Fire creates smoke, and fire has no effect on the ones that have Flash Fire as an ability, which free's them to use their bite and crunch attacks."(Crunch lowers Special Defense. Shield is a reference to a Pokemon's defense)


Here you go!


*hands over the figurine*


Now S in advance please.

Wait, this is the Riddle Game, rats!

[Fett One]

Alright, and it only took me 4 tries, lol.


Catching me will leave your opponents
red in the face and green with envy.
Don't allow yourself to get wrapped up with
me for I can prove to be quite intoxicating.
The elements fire, earth, and water I do command
but the element of air escapes me.

[Shadow Wolf]

I’ll try Seviper

Catching me will leave your opponents
red in the face and green with envy.

Seviper has a blood feud with Zangoose. Also it is green in its shiny version.

Don't allow yourself to get wrapped up with
me for I can prove to be quite intoxicating.

Seviper is a poison type Pokemon who has Wrap as a default move.

The elements fire, earth, and water I do command
but the element of air escapes me.

Seviper learns Sunny Day(Fire), Rain Dance(Water), And earth attacks like Earthquake and Dig. However, it does not learn flying moves.

[Fett One]

shinypkmnchaser, I can't believe you got that on the first try. mr_pikachu, can make sure I get my houndour figurine. As of the time of me posting this, I have yet to get it.


Catching me will leave your opponents
red in the face and green with envy.

My reason behind this was that you can't catch it in ruby (rubies are red) but you can catch them in emerald (emeralds are green)

me for I can prove to be quite intoxicating.

Your answer for this is correct

but the element of air escapes me.

Your answer for this is correct

Sorry about the delay, Fett. Since we've had some people not post the next riddle after solving one (and therefore not receive the figurine they would otherwise have won), I've gotten in the habit of waiting until the new riddle is posted to award figurines.

Not a problem. I just wanted to make sure I got it.

[Shadow Wolf]

Thanks for the figurine Fett One. ^_^

OK, since one of my computers is broken, and I've been very busy with school, I have less time than before to hang around.

Anyway, here's a weird, but easy riddle (I think).

How ironic is the fact
That my power to attract
Is effective, when before
I knew three things, nothing more.

But now, I can mix you up,
Heal my wounds, and fresh on top,
With the force of mythic beasts
Breath, and calm down battle fists.

Incorrect:

(I don't think that the previous word is neccesary, though. ^_^)

[Fett One]

Iglybuff/Jigglyouff/Wigglytuff

How ironic is the fact
That my power to attract
Is effective, when before
I knew three things, nothing more.
They have cute charm which attracts other pokemon.


But now, I can mix you up,
Heal my wounds, and fresh on top,
With the force of mythic beasts
Breath, and calm down battle fists.
Iglybuff/Jigglyouff/Wigglytuff can learn rest which heals. They also perform sing which can put pokemon to sleep. In the cartoon, a Jigglypuff song was used to stop the giant alakazam and gengar. According to the pokedex a Jigglypuff can harm itself if it doesn't stop to breath while performing sing.

[Shadow Wolf]

The warm-up answer has given you an idea of some sort, but improvement is needed.

Chansey

How ironic is the fact
That my power to attract
Is effective, when before
I knew three things, nothing more.
According to the pokedex people are always trying to find them. Chansey at one time could only learn heal bell, present, and metronome from breeding, while now it can learn a lot more than 3attacks from breeding.

But now, I can mix you up,
Heal my wounds, and fresh on top,
With the force of mythic beasts
Breath, and calm down battle fists.
Chansey can heal itself using softboil, and recover from ailments by using refresh. It can mess up an opponent by using swagger to confuse them and then use sing to put them to sleep, which can be considered calming them down.

[Shadow Wolf]

A dramatic improvement has been done with this guess. Keep looking, as you will soon find the answer.

(Hint after next guess. Just in case, I give a hint after every three guesses. It doesn't matter if there are 1-pkmn guess nor three-pkmn guess.)

[Fett One]

Skitty/Delcatty

How ironic is the fact
That my power to attract

I knew three things, nothing more.
Skitty/Delcatty have tha ability cute charm which attracts pokemon. It can also attract pokemon by using the attacks charm and attract. This gives it 3 methods of attracting another pokemon.


But now, I can mix you up,
Heal my wounds, and fresh on top,
With the force of mythic beasts
Breath, and calm down battle fists.
Skitty/Delcatty can heal itself using rest and cure itself from ailments using heal bell. It can also calm a pokemon by putting it to sleep using sing. Using the attack assisst can confuse your opponent since your attack can be anything.

[Crazy Elf Boy]

I think that this pokemon Is Magikarp/Gyarados

How ironic is the fact
That my power to attract
That Gyarados is a very sought after by people because of its amazing strength (eg Misty)


Is effective, when before
Gyarados is a very powerful pokemon

I knew three things, nothing more.
Before it Magikarp evolves it only learns three attacks, Tackle, Splash and Flail


But now, I can mix you up,
Heal my wounds, and fresh on top,
After it evolves it can learn the attack rest which allows it to regain health.



With the force of mythic beasts
Breath, and calm down battle fists.
InGold, Silver and Crystal it learns Dragon breath, A dragon is a mythilogical animal and it may paralyze the target, or clam its fists.

[Shadow Wolf]

You guys are getting closer...

Hint:

1-What could be a possible meaning for battle fists?

[Fett One]

feebas/milotic

As a feebas it only learns 3 attacks. Milotic is considered to be very attrative hence why it evolves due to beauty.

Milotic can use recover to heal and refresh to cure ailments. According to the pokedex it gives off an aura that calms pokemon so they don't want to fight.

[Shadow Wolf]

Well done Fett One!

How Ironic is the fact, that you've guessed this rhyme, after four tries.

How ironic is the fact
That my power to attract

I knew three things, nothing more.

Milotic is considered "the most beautiful" of all Pokemon. That makes people look everywhere for it, and that's an ironic fact, since Feebas is usually ignored because of its shabby appearance.

But now, I can mix you up,
Heal my wounds, and fresh on top,
With the force of mythic beasts
Breath, and calm down battle fists.

Milotic learns Confuse Ray, Recover, Refresh and Dragonbreath(Dragons are Mythic beasts). Also, those who see it are said to forget thier combetitive spirits.

*hands over the figurine*

Your Move!

[Fett One]

shinypkmnchaser, you have no idea how glad I am to win this. Five minutes after posting my skitty/delcatty answer I realized that the correct answer is milotic. Then I started to freak out waiting for you to respond so I could post molitic, not to mention that I was worried someone else will post the correct answer before than. Then CEB went and posted gyrados, which made me worry even more because I figured if he got to post before I did than he would most likely guess molitic since gyrados put him on the right track, not to mention that his post increased the chances of someone else correctly guessing it. Of course I was worried over nothing but knowing the correct answer and having to wait to give it (and risking someone beating me to it) can be a frustrating thing.

I'll post a riddle as soon as I think of something so hopefully I'll have one up by tomorrow night at the latest.

[Fett One]

I'm a plants worst nightmare.
Mess with me and you will go flying.
I don't mind biding my time for
I am a battle harden warrior.
Lets all soar to peace.

[Fett One]

Since it's been 15 days, I'm going to tell you what the answer is. The answer is Heracross.

I'm a plants worst nightmare.
Mess with me and you will go flying.
Heracross was always going after bulbasaur (a grass type) in the anime. Heracross is also known for tossing it's enemies into the air

I don't mind biding my time for
I am a battle harden warrior.
Lets all soar to peace.
Heracross can learn bide. It is always a fighting type and warriors know how to fight. Heracross are capble of flying and are usually docile which is why they would prefer peace.

[mr_pikachu]

Confirmed. You can feel free to post the next one, Fett.
