Shiny Pokemon Encounters

[NICKtendo DS]

Many thanks to Darky, I now have a Shiny Dragalge (formerly a Skrelp). Currently training it to be a battle partner for Soup (Shiny Clawitzer) in Double Battles.
It's a shame you can't rename traded Pokemon, even if they don't have one already. I would have called her Salad to go with my Soup.

Hypothetically Salad the Dragalge knows Sludge Wave so it can hit multiple targets (Soup knows Protect), Venoshock in case a target gets poisoned by Sludge Wave, Poison Point or a CPU player is too retarded to Fling a Toxic Orb, Thunder Shock and Thunder in case it's raining. Maybe Thunder Shock can make room for something better or more diverse, but this is her moveset so far.
Soup knows Protect, Dragon Pulse (obviously), Aura Sphere (just as obvious) and Ice Beam (not sure if I want to keep this, but I don't want it to just have strong attacks. I need something in case I run into a high Sp.Def/HP opponent).

Just saying, I am not the kind of guy that goes deep into IVs and all that Metagame kind of stuff. I hate the Battle Facilities, though I understand other may like it. A big middle finger to the BP exchange corner though. I play to collect, but I'm forced to participate for Razor Claw/Fang? It doesn't take much of an effort, but still, it's annoying. That said and ranting aside, I do like to have a team that have decent odds against other players. Fear the Sparkle of Death! (<- Because my Pokemon are Shiny)
