Where do you get the critical balls

But Cinccino gets knocked out with just a few hits from anything.
Anyway, now that I just grabbed a Minccino, it's fine to me. It's absurdly fast, so it should get the first turn for most enemies. Just wait until the AI does a non-damaging move such as Focus Energy, and use Encore. Said enemy will pretty much be stuck using the move as long as you have enough PP and Mincinno is definitely faster than it. Though, you might not want to use it if the enemy is using a defence buff move.

I'm just coining it that name, I have no idea if they're really called that. You can't buy it, and it occurs at random. Apparently, it uses the same formula in order to get a critical hit in... or whatever.

Oh there is one thing that I love about Gen V. Infinite TM's! TM's now act like HM's and can be used over and over again without them ever going away!
Insanely useful for catching legendaries and other tricky pokemon to catch. Just forget some moves to make room for things like thunder wave or hypnosis or false swipe and when you got that pokemon. Use a TM with the old move you had and boom. Rinse and Repeat. Just utilized it with my Victini on replacing Physic with Flash and Will O' Wisp with a weak move to catch a legendary and now his moves are back to normal :D

If you get me a female Tepig, then I say yes. Otherwise, I say don't bother.

On the same subject of catching Victini, what ball did you use to catch it?
I got it in the Great Ball but true pros use Pokeballs.

I'm pretty sure I caught it in a great ball.
One of my nephews , nephew Z, always catches legendaries in pokeballs; sometimes at full health too. It makes me so frustrated sometimes. How does he do it? The only reason he uses pokeballs is cause he uses all his money on recovery items and refuses to buy other balls. He's also only been playing since the D/P gen and has caught 3 shinies. Why are some people just born lucky?

Caught mine with my first Pokeball thrown. Of course, I also went through 15 Premier Balls before I went to my Pokeballs, and would have loved if I caught it in a Premier Ball instead of the Pokeball, since the animation upon opening of the Premier Ball is cooler than the Pokeball's.
Also merging this with the Black/White thread, since we don't need a bajillion threads that are about the 5th generation games.

Ayye, I don't know what to do for the Opelucid gym. I don't have any ice types besides Vanillite, which is hardly strong enough.

From what I can tell, Fraxure is where you want to get rid of them completely for the gym leader. Somehow make it so that it will only use Dragon Dance. Buff your SpA/Attack to max via self buff move, ensue sweeping.
Alternatively, you get a TM for Blizzard in Icirrus City apparently.
