Cynthia should have told you to go visit Professor Rowan, which is what you need to do next.

In Diamond, I have the National Dex, but I can't seem to find Rotom or the girl who talks about swarming Pokemon. Do I need to beat the E4 as well, or am I looking in the wrong place? (I looked in the Old Chateau at night for Rotom, and my rival's house for the girl.)

 

[MG]

Yes, You have to challenge and beat the Elite Four before you can get Rotom

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you have to get the national Dex first before the swarms start to happen?

Either way nothing will happen until after you beat the E4

Hope that helped

Is a raichu with surf legit/allowed?

if i have an event pikachu that has surf and i evolve it to raichu, thus reserving its moveset, will my raichu be considered legit?


also, i like to ask if i could retain ALL MY ev in platinum using berries?

thanks/

 

[Charliezard]

Retain? As in get them back? Berries can remove all the EV's on a Pokemon, but not give them back. If you got the Pikachu legitmately, then it's all good.

 

[Swift!]

I'm gonna say yes to the first question, cause you're just making a good thing better with the power that has been given to you.
In no way are you hacking it to make it stronger.

I don't know anything about EV's, so I can't answer the second question.

 

[factorx]

thanks for the replies.

how does it remove?
i read on the other thread that it reset the ev to 100 for values above 100 and subsequently remove 10 each time..
is that true?

 

[Charliezard]

I believe it's true. If you would kindly refer to https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=176973 I've answered that question there and provided you a link to a thread that explains this sort of thing (And then some).

 

[factorx]

okay thanks!

btw is volt tackle a attack or special attack move? i read on bulbpedia that it is physical but other sources from some random forum said it is special move...

can anyone clarify?

 

[yoni159]

I'm not sure this is the place so sorry if not.
What are the in-game trades in D\P\Pt?

 

[Kokuo]

okay thanks!

Volt Tackle is physical in 4th Gen. However it was special back in 3rd Gen. because all Electric moves were special attacks back then.

 

[fisheydude]

I have a Raichu that knows surf from evolving the pikachu from Battle Revolution, it is legit. It is cute to see the pikachu riding a surf board when you use surf of BR.
My books say volt tackle is physical.

 

[factorx]

huh? but my pikachu doesnt show a surf board when surfing?
is there something wrong?

 

[The CriminaL]

Yeah, Surfing Raichu is legit, sorry can't help you with Evs though.

Only on Battle Revolution is when this happens.

 

[factorx]

i see...ok thanks all once again for replies.

Pokemon Cloning

I was watching a video on you tube about a boy cloning pokemon through the GTS. He waited till the lil' clock made 3 n 1/2 spins... So my question is... Is it 3 1/2 spins on all modems, also, if anything goes wrong can the game data be erased?
