Actually, the "normal" one depends on the version. If you want to encounter the "unusual" Basculin for your version, enter the patches of rippling water that sometimes crop up.
Yeah. Statistically it has the possibility of being the strongest; however, it takes gawdawfully long to get it that strong, so it's impractical in most situations.
Cool. My team on Black isn't complete as far as creating something with synergy (because I usually battle on simulators like Pokémon Online), but I'm almost done creating a team with 6 Level 100s that were raised properly. Enough to take out casuals, but it may not withstand a proper competitive team yet until I start replicating my PO team. :P
But if you want to battle, I'm available right now, haha. Just let me know and I'll pop into the Wi-Fi room.
And KoD, sorry if my statement [i]is[/i] incorrect.
Many of you trainers claim to be "masters," or at least very good.
How many of you can actually ground that claim? Do you consider your Pokémons' Natures and IVs? Do you EV train? Do you actually prepare for multiple potential threats to your team?
And do you manage all this without cheating? (I'm looking at those of you who do things like Wondertombs and all that bull.)
I'm sorry, but... If you don't, I think you need to take a look at what those of us who are serious put into this.
You want to argue your case to be otherwise? You think your team you raised since you got the game with an Emboar, Unfeazant, Galvantula, and a few others you just caught and carelessly raised is viable?
Prove it. Challenge me. No cheated Pokémon (unless they'd normally be legit and you're just speeding things up). No unnatural Pokémon like Wonder Guard Spiritomb (KingofDarkness, I'm looking at you, I've heard the accusations) or Scrappy Miltank. Beat me fair and square in a single battle and maybe I'll concede my point.

For those of you who are serious like me, I just wanna know who you are. Maybe we could start a group or something. C: Or if you just wanna have a friendly battle, that's fine too.
Karkorot is correct. Dusk, Quick, and Timer Balls in their optimal conditions are the best Poké Balls. They have a higher chance of capture than Ultra Balls.
Good trainers know how the game mechanics work. They know how IVs and EVs work. They know how to strategize and prepare for multiple potential counters to their team.
For those of us who were actually around in the R/B/Y days and still play Pokémon.
So, what do guys think of all the kids on this board who've never picked up a Gameboy, worship Piplup, and think they're badass just because they have some Lv. 100 Darkrai (which I could easily beat down with my Calm Mind Mewtwo, incidentally)? :l
