Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?
BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 3 days agoI forgot that the thunder stone is actually attainable in the main game of crystal, that does make it better. Jolteon is post game in GS unfortunately. I haven’t tried Lanturn, maybe I’ll give it a try next time. I’m not a fan of Electabuzz, not really sure why. Maybe I need to give it more of a chance.

Elemental stone access is one of the many reasons Crystal is placed a notch above GS in my ranking!
Lanturn is cool, good typing and can learn water HMs. Move Tutor exists in Crystal and Lanturn learns both Thunderbolt and Ice Beam from it. Can of course teach it Thunder if doing Rain Dance. Never a blockbuster Pokémon but does what you want.

Good to know, I’ll give it a shot on my next playthrough. How early can you get it? I’ve always ignored them.

Uhm I’m pretty sure you can fish up a Chinchou from New Bark Town as soon as you get the Good Rod. If you’re talking about Electabuzz or Raichu the Odd Egg you get from the daycare man can hatch into any of the baby Pokémon so you could get an Elekid or Pichu. Sadly we non-Japanese plebs only get a 14% chance of it being shiny instead of the Japanese 50%, so I don’t tend to reset for a shiny.

Good to know. I think I’ll go for a full new team next time, I usually pull from the same ~10 Pokémon.
