I'm in Eterna City, and I'm looking for a grass pokemon to fill out my team. Any idea where I can go in the area to find one? I also would like a better water pokemon then Buizel. Thanks guys.
 
Other than Budew or Turtwig, your other option at the moment is a Cherubi, from the Sweet Honey Trees. It evolves into Cherrim...
 
Hm...

Bit obscure, but you could try to find some kind soul to trade you an Eevee egg. After that, you could hatch it yourself to avoid any disobedience problems and level it up near the Moss Rock in Eterna Forest to get yourself a Leafeon.

You could also try for a Bug/Grass Wormadam if you can get a Burmy from a Honey Tree and train it in vert areas, I.E. Eterna Forest.
 
But don't you need the National Dex in order to recieve an Eevee? That is, if you are playing from the beginning, and just got to Eterna City...

Cool, I completely forgot about Burmy and its Evo's... ^ ^'

Nah, I had a friend who wanted to trade me a Vulpix because he knew I liked them in RSE, and I was only through Gym 4 or 5 at the time. What happens is that the profile page for the creature will have different text than normal (iirc, it said something like "Unknown" or may have even just omitted the "First Met at" portion), and it also will not worry about assigning a Pokedex value to the creature profile since (duh) Vulpix does not exist in the SinnohDex.

Same exact thing would be true for an Eevee. You can get one from a friend; raise it; use it; beat the game with it; but it just won't show up in your PokeDex until you get the National Dex.

Be warned, though: if you evolve Eevee too soon into Leafeon, you might regret it. :\ Leafeon has a base attack of 110 (very nice) but a rather shoddy Special Attack, and unfortunately most of its attacks are either Grass-Special (useless) or nonGrass-physical (no STAB). It's not until Level 71 (one of the highest I've ever seen for a non-legendary movelist!) that Leafeon will learn its excellent 90 base power, Grass-physical attack Leaf Blade. The only physical grass move it learns sooner is Razor Leaf, which is only power-55. :\ My advice? Don't evolve Eevee until it learns Bite (Level 29) if you're in a rush, and maybe wait until Level 57 if you're not in a rush.

Leafeon does learn Last Resort, but it does not learn several of Eevee's signature moves: Trump Card (57), Baton Pass (36), or Bite. It all depends on what you want your Leafeon to accomplish. Is it going to be a Baton Passing Grasswhistling defense sponge? Or is it going to be an Att-Def tank that actually packs a punch with Leaf Blade, X-Scissor, and other physical moves?

Well, it's not exactly easy. You need one of the following ...

1 - A friend who has the creature(s) you want and will trade them to you using Friend Codes. This requires the ownership of the first badge.

2 - Pal Park, by which you can import creatures from your old games all by yourself. But this requires the National Dex, i.e. beating the story mode at least once.


#1 may sound easy, until you realize that your own friend has to either have his own set of friends for #1 to work (for him!) or he must have fulfilled #2. In other words ... if all your friends are as far as you are, forget it. For #1 to work, you need to find a friend who has beaten the game already and was able to import creatures (by himself) from RSEFrLg over to D/P.

I'd give you the egg if you'd like. BTW, you only need the Nat. dex to record Pokemon outside of the Sinnoh Dex. You can still own them.

cant he just evolve eevee as soon as possible and then use the move tutor to teach bite at level 39?

No. The Move Tutor will remind a Pokémon at his current stage of evolution of any moves in his movepool. While most evolved forms of Pokémon have the same movepool or even larger movepools than their pre-evolved forms, there exist quite a few creatures whose evolved forms do not ever learn the pre-evolved forms moves. Example ...

- you have a Level 60 Mismagius and you want to use the Move Tutor to teach it the move Pain Split it learned as a Misdreavus. Too bad. Even if it's the same creature and it did know Pain Split at some point, too effing bad. (Go try this out!)

- you have a Level 5 Pikachu and you use a Thunder Stone to evolve him into a Raichu. Great going, Einstein -- you just wasted a perfectly good Thunder Stone. Raichu does not learn Discharge or Thunder, and the Move Tutor's not going to be able to teach him those moves, either.



So this guy with Leafeon, if he evolved his Eevee prematurely (say at Level 10), would be doing my second example. He'd be evolving his creature too soon, and then it would never have the chance to learn the Eevee moves either normally or through the Move Tutor. Now let's say he listens to my advice but he deletes Bite one day, and then one day he regrets that and wants Bite back. Too bad. It's gone for good. This is why you never, ever delete moves unless you're certain that ...
a) you want it gone, or
b) you will always have the opportunity to bring it back later at the Move Tutor
 
I loved how Mystery Dungeon apparently records what level you evolve your Pokemon at, so you can relearn any moves it and its previous forms had so long as you evolved it late enough (and relearning moves itself was very easy in that game due to being free ^^). Such a shame that the main RPG series could never do the same.
 
If you want a grass type(Leafeon probably isn't a good choice), would you like a Bulbasaur/Chikorita/Treecko/Turtwig?
