hw 2 get muchlax in platinum???
No seriously guys, I know getting Munchlax revolves around Honey, but can someone tell me specifics? I want to do a playthrough that recreates Barry's team.

Munchlax is found in four specific Honey trees, and these change on each individual save file. However, they only have a 1% encounter rate which is super rare. If you think it's too hard to get, you could otherwise breed Snorlax holding a Full Incense, or if you have appropriate wi-fi connections, request for someone to trade you one in Trade Corner.

You need to travel to Kanto and reach Pal Park (Fuchsia City) before you can migrate pokémon.


I actually have my own question: Can you re-learn a deleted tm?
My Blissey knows Toxic, but I'm about to capture Dialga (And then probably go for the Lake Trio). One of them will most likely displace it from the team, in which case it'll go into Daycare. This could lead to Toxic being deleted. Would I be able to re-teach it with the Move Tutor?

Actually you can go to the Battle Tower and when you have 32 BP you can buy the Toxic TM.

Why not just put it in the PC so that Toxic doesn't get deleted? Or just rearrange the moves so that something other than Toxic gets deleted? If you set it so that one of Blissey's natural moves is the one that gets deleted, then you can relearn it later for one Heart Scale.

Though, again, I'd just put Blissey in the PC and not mess with any of that.

I heard a rumor...

So, my friend told me that if you had 150 Pokemon registered in the Pokedex, you could find a Mew in Cerulean Cave. Is this real, or is it a little too Farfetch'd to be true?

Sounds faker than a WWE pay per view in all honesty. Is there anything to prove this is true at all?

No, not really. But this friend has never told me anything wrong before.

As credible as the mew in the truck.

I did but I still don't see the migrate option on my game

Have you talked to all the important NPCs in Pal Park then? Maybe you need to do that first to activate that option.

@ Amore - I'm afraid not. It only works for moves naturally able to learn by level up (or level 0 moves for a Pokemon, e.g. ampharos can never learn fire punch without a move tutor without the move relearned, iirc for sake of example). Stuff forgotten that's not part of the level-up moveset alone cannot be remembered.

You should upload a screen cap,
So everyone could see what pose you are talking about.
Anyway I seemed to know what pose you are talking about(hopefully it's the same pose we're talking about),
I have done it in Victory Road by jumping of the muddy ledges.

I think you're in that position very temporarily when you ride up the ramps found in various dungeons.

You have at least six Pokemon in a Box in your game that you want to migrate to your SoulSilver?

None of your cartridges show up with the option to migrate?

None of your cartridges are from a different region than your SoulSilver game, correct?

Are your cartridges being recognized by your DS? (you can play your games on your DS)

Graveler Twins

Let me tell you something, I'm trying to collect all the Pokémon, but there is something I will need help with. The 2 Graveler I caught are like twin brothers or something. Both are male, have Rock Head as an ability and are Level 24. The only difference is one has an Adamant nature with 67 HP and 24 speed, whie the other has a Bold nature with 65 HP and 27 speed.

Which Graveler do you think I should evolve?

P.S. Please do not lock this thread until an answer has been given.

Well, speed wouldn't really matter, Golem is very slow.
I'd pick the Adamant Graveler to evolve, a Bold nature reduces the Attack stat for Defense.
You won't be putting any special attacks on Golem, so use the Adamant nature which reduces Special attack for Attack.

Natures don't matter much in-game, so it's all up to personal preference. Although I think the Adamant nature might be the one worth using since it does have higher Attack and Golem won't be needing special attacks anyway, plus its Defense is good enough as is. The main problem is that it's still weak to most special-based attacks, and especially 4x weak to Grass and Water.

I'll just merge this into the 4th Gen Help Thread. If you have any future questions pertaining to 4th Generation Gaming, feel absolutely free to ask them in there!

Sp. Attack: 6
Sp. Defense: 8

TL;DR: when and how do i give vitamins to a larvitar?

Quick questions belong in the 4th Gen Help Thread.
