Pokemon Diamond & Pearl
Day 3: Check out the new Pokemon you'll meet - and hopefully catch
Basic Pokemon
These Pokemon are neither common nor uncommon and are likely to form the bulk of your team.
Above: You'll see a lot of these little critters, as they form the basis of most Pokemon collections
Korinku to Rukushio to Rentoraa
This electric-type lion Pokemon has high attack power and a variety of shocking physical attacks. In addition to electric-type attacks it learns the useful dark-type bite and crunch attacks, making it handy for dealing with psychic-type Pokemon in a pinch.
Rioru to Lucario
After invading a Team Galaxy island stronghold with the help of a mysterious trainer, you are given a Pokemon egg. Upon hatching, a fight-type Rioru will be born. If levelled in the daylight, Rioru will evolve into the fighting/steel-type Pokemon Lucario, the star of the most recent movie.
Gregguru
A combative poison dart frog, Gregguru is an unusual combination of the poison and fighting Pokemon types, making it doubly weak to psychic attacks.
