Deadaim22's Beginner Guide

Introduction
Well hello there everyone. My name is Deadaim22 (well at least in this wast online world). Since I have been in creed longer than almost all of you I decided to make a guide for all of you which will give you a head start in your journey conquering the top ranks in creed. Believe me if you do exactly what i say in this guide you will become one of the legends. But not all legends are about victory some are about the struggle, finding out who you are and the reason for your being. I have kept is as my signature ever since i had joined just so that when ever i get the thought of saying "This is as far as i can get" it motivates me to get back up and fight for it. I saw loads like really tons of pointless guides on separate topics which weren't even helping others in anyways. Guess i might be boring you with this long intro i just wanted to keep it clean and interesting. NOTE:- if you see any spelling mistakes or grammatical errors you can post it here so that i can fix it up.

Getting started

Now that you know a little bit about me and why i am doing this time to get to the actual point. First and the most important thing that you will need to become a great player is maturity. Don't be offended all I am trying to tell you guys is "To achieve something you need to work hard" there is no easy way out. Do not go to the chats and keep begging people asking for free stuff. Trust me some people are nice enough to give you something but not everyone is going to do that. People who are willing to give you something will get annoyed if you keep repeating it. I am planning on making a getting started center giving away free 1k's for newbies but its a long term plan i am not sure of even sticking around here for long since i am busy with school , programming and GFX. And begging for freebies also reduces your self respect and self dependence you will be totally be dependent on others once you start asking for freebies you will feel like "Oh why should i train i can just ask someone to do it for me" if you are going to stay with that attitude you are Never gonna achieve anything that's worth being proud about in the game.
Be an active member keep a watch on the forums there are many kids out here making lots of contests daily participate in them earn something good with there and will help you get decent stuff which you can trade for bigger things. You must be dedicated to what you are aiming for. Don't just blindly play the game keep a goal that you are going to work for _________ pokemon which will give you a reason to work hard. If you dont want to work i suggest you just stop reading this guide this is not for people who are trying to find the easy way. Once you achieve that pokemon go and try to get something more rarer keep a goal and work your way up. Now some basic things that you will need to know
# Do not ever under any circumstances Spam , troll , flame in the forums or the chats even though you may sound cool and others may comment positive about your action but don't just limit your thoughts to the positive comments there will be people who are offended about it and they might have the exactly that one Pokemon you like a lot and you will loose an opportunity to get something good.
# Do not abuse the power of the +ve and -ve reputation. Although revenge rep isn't stated in the rules anywhere but i personally prefer that you shouldn't give -ve rep when you have no clue about what you are doing or cause he/she gave you a -ve rep as long as his/her comments are correct. You can give a -ve rep when a person stole something that belongs to you , spammed the forums , flamed people or broke any of the rules If you use it just for fun it'll depress the other person cause he/she might get more -ve reps from others who are just rating him by seeing your comment. You might be thinking when to use +ve rep , you should use it when a person does something useful to the community , holds contests etc. Don't just give +ves cause he's your friend or hes good at something the whole concept of the reputation is added so that it will tell other users weather this guy helped creed or should they be aware of him while making deals.
# Don't EVER spam anyone's trade box since they might get annoyed and block you for good which reduces your chances of getting a good trade deal trust me getting blocked by top players is a bad thing
# Don't PM saying "hey can i borrow this Pokemon for _____ time <3333" your hearts wont affect the other person much at all :| if he/she says "No" the first time don't message saying "please please please <333" it wont help you get anything or anywhere it will just make the person block your messages which will again reduce your chances of getting a good trade deal.
# Don't make threads saying "waaah i got hacked i got scammed" etc. Just PM Da Man , Dualot , Sergio , Zapdos , Joeyspark234 , xhinz they we will try to get your problem fixed ASAP they basically check if it is fixable by us or else we report it to Da Man.
# Last of all do what Mods / Staff say (as long as it is correct) and don't argue to what they tell you to.

These are basically everything you need to know before you can actually make some progress like they say "If the base is good the tower shall last for ever" whats the point in making a tower on a unstable land which will fall down one day eventually?.

What do i do to become rich??

The major form of trade is Pokemon > Pokemon or Pokemon > Coins. Now coins have more value than money some people pay around 1 M for 2-3 coins the only time when you are going to be rich is when you focus in investing your coins rightly and on correct stuff.There are various methods that you can implement to get rich but these are the major ones. The most easiest way of getting rich is by successful trading i will be teaching more about it to you soon in this guide trust me in this method all you have to do is wait and watch yourself getting rich and its fun. Then comes Training in which you will train your own pokemon and trade it later or train for others for prizes. This method is a bit hard and needs a little bit of work but oh well its all good. Then there are Gambling this requires skill and to be a successful gambler who doesn't depend on luck you need to be good at math if you aren't then this method isn't for you don't risk loosing your hard earned coins.Then there is berry harvesting , Hitdown , Fishing , Auction house etc.

How to trade successfully

By trading successfully i mean how to make profit without ripping of the other person. Now you will be like "What the heck how can you make profit without ripping the other guy off?" well your wrong we can make profit. You just need to get the right stuff. Now make a thread in forums posting your stuff in it. Limit the number of threads you have to just 1 since its all you are gonna need. If you maintain a single thread with more comments and views it will attract more traders into your thread that doesn't mean just posting unnecessary posts in your own thread. Next go search others thread and search for the once who like the stuff you have and make a offer. Be sensible and use common sense No one will trade you a ShadowDusknoir for a CursedZaura. Use the rarity list for reference . Quick link to the rarity list > HERE. If a pokemon is colored and very rare it means its worth a lot. Now knowing your
pokemon's gender right. There are few people who like only specific genders of pokemon you can do a gender swap and ask them extra coins for the swap which is a decent profit for you. Now the little amount of coins which you have use them wisely go get yourself a promo and keep it for 2 weeks or 3 weeks its rate will increase. You have a pokemon which is worth a decent amount and you dont like it or want it?? trade it for the new promos trust me its a good profit i dont mean to say 1 -> 1 Trades trade it for the amount that is actually worth like 2-3 for a fairly old promos. Now imagine you have a luminousvulpix and you don't want it and are trying to trade it away try to find a person who likes your vulpix and trade it for 3 -4 promos(current promos) simple as that luminous vulpix is worth around 2000 coins now you might get 4 promos for it. Keep that promo for 2 - 3 weeks its rates will increase now in 3 weeks the rates of luminous vulpix wont increase more than 100 - 200 coins but the promos you bought by trading it would increase around 200 - 300 coins each trust me that's a lot. Now you paid 500 coins each and bought 4 of them 3 weeks ago now each are worth 800 coins now you are making 300 coins of profit from a single promo now multiply that by 4 that's 1200 coins profit isn't that great? And that's how you make profit without ripping people off. Some general methods of trading is called Direct trade making in this method you will make a trade without asking the other user i suggest you don't try this unless you want that pokemon badly. If you want something really badly don't hesitate to overpay for it cause you want it badly. Now the drawback of this method is that you cannot guarantee that he/she will accept the trade you might even become blocked if you make a stupid trade. Know your rates before you are even using this method. I might make a rating list by taking opinion from other users and if i ever make one i will post it in here and link it so that it'll prevent you from being ripped. And there are certain stuff which are really hard to get like ShadowLugia , ShadowMew the rates list may say 800k or 900k but trust me you will have to pay almost 1.5x the amount if you really want those. You might be thinking why do i have to pay so much?? It is cause they are insanely rare and one simply just doesn't trade a shadowmew for its exact rate. So always be careful while using this method ask few experienced members before you make a trade or ask in forums don't spam the general discussion thread there is a separate thread i had made for it Whats my pokemon worth? go there ask for help someone will eventually help you. Next one is a rare type of trade doesn't happen quite often Item -> Pokemon trade. Most of you might think why should i trade a pokemon for just an item? well it is cause they need certain items and they don't have the time or patience to work for it thats where your motivation comes to play. A successful trader always makes the best use of the resources people pay a lot for items like "Leftovers , blacksludge , pecha berry " etc. Trade your items for some pokemons etc.

How to train

Now if you want to be a great trainer you need concentration. I suggest not to use chats or anything that will distract you from training. First to begin with you need to set a goal so that you will be motivated to achieve it. Make a target on how many levels will you gain in one day or how many ranks are you planning on surpassing in a single day always keep a record of what the level was before you started training. Try to train at least 100 levels a day it wont take you too long tbh it should take you around an hour or 2 if you follow the method i will teach you. What you need is 5 Golurks and a pokemon of your choice whom you are going to train. Teach toxic to a golurk and fly to some of them. The way to get fly is by beating zapmolcuno. it isnt that hard i beat it often myself i'll teach you how to beat it anyways. First ask someone if they could teach your pokemons "Fly" they wouldnt charge more than 250 coins for teaching that move once atleast 2-3 pokemon know fly keep your roster in this order 1 - 5 all golurks and slot 6 is for the pokemon you want to train. Teach toxic to the first golurk and on zapdos use toxic and then you can use blizzard or fly when the zapdos has very low hp switch to the pokemon you want to train and then use blizzard. Then again switch to your golurk use toxic on moltress and keep using fly till it has low hp and use your main pokemon to kill it. for articuno you need luck. This bird over here keeps attacking and is such an annoying battle so pray that you hit toxic successfully then fly all the way till it has low hp and then do what you did to kill others with your main pokemon. This is probably the fastest method to train you will ever encounter . Next is by using Dragon Tamer for this you will need a jellicent then go keep using blizzard till the gible faints once it faints restart battle. I suggest you use pecha scarf to survive longer while training. Then there comes Swimmer Richard this is probably the slowest way but the best method to make some coins in the process. Go and use boltstrike to kill it.
Some of you might have slow internet and would be hard to train well i'll show you how to make your browser work 2x faster. Use Mozilla Firefox and do these Steps. You are now officially training 2x faster than others who aren't using this.

Its been quite a while that i haven't updated this thread. Gonna talk about how to make some coins easily.

How to make some coins easily

Now there are various methods which you can use to make coins, but i will just explain you the ones you can do with ease. Now easiest way to do that would be the Lucky Dip , Its probably the easiest way to get some coins cash or random pokemons. In average you can expect to make atleast 200 coins from this sometimes if you are lucky you could endup making more. The other method which i would suggest the newbies is that, search for people who are willing to buy normal pokemons from maps. Before you use this method i would suggest you to search for someone who is willing to pay you decently and since map pokemons are so easy to find you should be happy if you get paid around 1 coin for 3-4 map pokemons, if you do find some buyers, run to the poke mart and buy some pokeballs and catch all the pokemon you can find on maps. Just in case you are lucky you could endup finding some shinies in process, they aren't worth much buy people pay around 50 - 100 coins depending on what shiny you have. My personal Favorite method is to train for coins, You could easily get paid around 500 coins for 1 bill exp which is a pretty decent rate if you have a pokemon over 4k. Once you have around 2k coins you could try to use the 50-50 gamebut DO NOT BET MORE THAN WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD FOR LOSING. Pro tip - "Even if you keep losing there is a point of time where you will win eventually, That bet could both makeup for the losses and get you into profit" I wont tell you out more than that, if I do other newbies would go bankrupt lol.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
