Battle Team focus: Weavile

After my success with a Weavile in Pokemon Pearl, I decided to try and teach Ice Punch to my Sneasel in Pokemon HeartGold.
The plan was:

• I needed to transfer it to Pokemon Platinum to tutor the move
• Upon arrival, I discovered I was lacking in shards to trade to the move tutor.
• I then had to send over one of my male Medicham (which had Ice Punch) and a female Buneary.
• I then had to go through the tedious task of breeding them to get a male Buneary.
• Upon acquiring said Buneary, I was able to breed it with my female Sneasel to get another Sneasel which knew Ice Punch.

To be frank, the above process was rather trying, in the sense that I was getting about half a dozen or so female Buneary before I got a male one. In the end, it was worth it because the resultant Weavile is going to be a permanent fixture on the team from now on.
