User:Jioruji Derako

Heya everyone! New user here, but a long-time fan of the Pokémon games, and a fairly new Wiki addict.

	This user is a member of Project Moves and Abilities.

	This user's DS friend code for Pokémon Pearl is 3780 5509 2075.

I joined Bulbapedia in the hopes of contributing to the games info, mostly. I've got a couple good sites I can go to in search of good moves for my Pokémon, but one this I noticed was a severe lack of detail on a lot of moves. The in-game descriptions of move effects are always quite vague, and most fansites don't bother to do any research on the actual effects (for example, a lot of people know Recover (move) heals the user by half the Pokémon's maximum HP, but it's rarely mentioned anywhere). I'm always looking for a good project to get started on, so that's going to be my job from now on!

For more info on me, feel free to check one of my other accounts on other websites. I'm on DeviantART, as Jioruji-Derako, and on GuildWiki, as Jioruji Derako (wow, such imaginative names). I'm on quite a few other sites as well, but DeviantART and GuildWiki are the two I spend most time on.

I've got plenty of experience with the MetaWiki formatting and coding, but keep in mind, I'm quite new to Bulbapedia. If I do anything that's even close to breaking a policy, let me know! I've gotta learn somehow. :P

Pokémon Teams

So far, all my teams have been various Pokémon, nothing especially noteworthy. My only two Pokémon to make it to level 100 are my Rayquaza and my Mewtwo, named Altix and Eradix, respectively. They're both currently on my Pokémon Emerald cartridge.

I'm working on a few team ideas at the moment; due to my somewhat scatter-brained methods, I haven't gotten very far on any one team, but I do have enough to list a bit here...

First off is a team from Emerald. It's in progress, as the most I've done so far is train one of the team-members and plan out the rest.

'Dogs of War

• Sneasel
• Manectric
• Zangoose
• Absol
• Houndoom
• Mightyena

Sneasel made it to level 60, but then I stopped playing for a while.

Now, with Pearl, I can build a team a bit easier; the Physical/Special Attack system makes it much easier now to get a Sneasel with high-powered Dark-moves, which I plan to do. I need a good Physical-type Ice attack though, and Ice Punch is the best option... unfortunately, Ice Punch isn't nearly as easy to come by in Pearl as it is in Emerald. Time to start breeding my old Sneasel...

Here's the team so far, fractured as it is: Ninjas(?)

• Sneasel/Weavile with Ice Punch, Night Slash, Double Team, and probably Taunt.
• Ninjask with U-Turn, and... probably other stuff.
• Shedinja with Subsitute (it'll be fun).
• Luxray with Thunder Fang, Crunch, Charge, and Thunder Wave (already have this guy).
• Something with Toxic Spikes, and probably a way to force the foe to switch Pokémon (Roar, etc).
• Other Pokémon that fit a high-evasion, high-speed, Poison/Sleep/Paralysis theme.

I've got a lot of ideas floating around, but we'll see if anything actually comes of it all. As you can see, I like Dark-types and Ninja-like Pokémon... Sneasel's my favorite Pokémon, but guys like Luxray come in close second place. -- Jioruji Derako.> 06:23, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
