I can go back? cool. The only problem I had was beating Dusknoir anyway. I'll go stock up and take your advice with the oran berry.

[Derejin]

Okay, and you don't have to worry about beating him up again, either. :P
And bring lots of X-Eye seeds.
Oh, and be sure to bring lots of X-Eye seeds.
Stock up on X-Eye seeds, please!
Yar, they help alot.

To my fellow VMKF member Derejin: If I got a Pikachu, Turtwig, Uxie and Mespirit as a 4-group, am I good for the next couple of dungeons(next two are water)

[Brer_Nick]

I'm not Derejin but it sounds as if you'd be good with just the Pikachu and Turtwig.

I Officially hate Cressilia.
Yeps. IT STINKS IN STUPID DARK CRATER!!!!
I was about to dang win Darkrai and company but nooo! Stupid Cresselia just had to FAINT!!!
EEK!!!
I'm so mad.
TIPS TIPS TIPS FOR ME!!!
HELP ME!!!

[Brer_Nick]

shouldn't if a pokemon faints it would make it easier to catch? I me it wouldn't be movie yet it would be still alive? Call it cheating but it would work.

[Vivi]

This is in like Mystery Dungeon... cha?

[Derejin]

To TheMagicWithin, yes, but be sure you have a large variety of elemental moves, so as to get lots of supereffective hits. Also, know your enemy, and know if they have a Dark/Ghost move, as if a strong foe with that move pops up, Uxie and Mesprit might be in trouble. You might also want to consider recruiting Dialga, as his Roar of Time can really help. Once he gets near maxed out IQ, he becomes an unstoppable tank, quite literally. He's my favorite PMD2 Pokemon now. :P

To Vienna, MOAR REVIVER SEEDS. Believe it or not, they work for CPU allies, which helps against the nastiness known as Darkrai&Co. Also, now you might want to seriously think about linking up moves and not using them until the darkrai battle circle, and, when you get there, focus on the foe which causes the most trouble for Cresselia. If you use electrical moves, take out the Rhyperior first, too.
What helps the most against Darkrai, in my opinion, are AoE(Area of Effect) attacks, just link those with a powerful move that hits closeby foes. That way you can weaken distant foes and take out those going in for the KO.

If you still need more reviver seeds, try going to the optional areas(unlocked by doing random missions from Wigglytuff's Guild), as they have treasure chests at the last floor, which may contain reviver seeds, as well as you might earn quite a bit of money, which you can use to buy even more reviver seeds. Just carry as many reviver seeds as you can, but remember not to forget bringing enough apples and heal seeds, too!

[TheMagicWithin]

I might switch up the line-up before I go there. I just hatched Manaphy and had to get Blue Gummies....

And when you said AOE moves, you mean like Vacuum-Cut and Discharge right? YAY!! My Pikachu knows Discharge.

[Vivi]

Does anyone know what moves to link to have more damage?
Like my Mudkip Pal, knows the following:
Dig
Water Pulse
Hydro Pump
Water Gun

Torchic, Vienna:
Flamethrower
Fireblast
Slash
Quick Attack

And My mudkip has the IQ Skill Gap something, so I can attack through my partner! YAY
LOL
Well time to go back to treasure town...lol

[Derejin]

Yes, I do mean Discharge. Vacuum-Cut is NOT powerful enough for serious usage after you reach level 10, methinks. I had a Pikachu who knew Discharge, too, and I linked it with Thunderbolt. He can easily clear a room(READ: MONSTER HOUSES)) with it. HOWEVER! The Rhyperior that comes with Darkrai has Lightningrod ability, so take him out; then Pikachu can, as I say, "throw down". Muahaha.
If you're still gonna keep Mesprit and Uxie, you might want to replace Uxie with Azelf, as, in my opinion, Uxie's higher defenses aren't as good as Azelf's offenses. Just my opinion, though.

To Vienna, I suggest linking Hydro Pump and Water Pulse, that way you deal loads of damage and confuse, too. For the Torchic, link Quick Attack and Flamethrower. Quick attack is EXTREMELY powerful, according to experience, which surprised me. Flamethrower can take out nearby threats, while Quick Attack finishes off those in two square range.
Also, you might want to feed Torchic more gummis, until he learns Concentrator, which lowers evasiveness, but increases accuracy, which helps alot with Flamethrower, as well as replace Slash with Smokescreen. I have been in nasty situations where Smokescreen saved me; it's absolutely awesome.

[TheMagicWithin]

Where do I find Azlef.. I have the guide and it says he is where Mespirit is..

[Derejin]

If I remember, Azelf is in the Crystal Lake(remember the desert level? the second part is crystal lake), I think it's named (in-game) "Crystal Crossing". I may be wrong about the name, but I'm positive that's where Azelf is.

[Vivi]

Its Crystal Crossing and thx for the tips Djar!!!

[Derejin]

You're very welcome! And, in case you're wondering, no, I do not have a guide. This is all from experience.
Also, if you have Explorers of Darkness version, it IS possible to get a Riolu, via Wondermail. If you want that wondermail code, just PM me asking for it.
