5th Gen Quick Questions

I read in an answer above that the best way to level up your Pokemon post-E4 and post-exploringtheEastsideofUnova is to use the two sport domes in that city that has the Battle Subway.

My question is - can I manlipulate the 3DS clock so that I don't have to wait for the next day to fight them?

If not, where's the best place to find Audino? Finally, is there a way of increasing the chances of shaking grass appearing, so that I can encounter them most often?

Thanks in advance.

yes u can change BUT only if its in a route/city that doesn't have any daily "event" but I won't recommend it cause sometimes it goes wrong and you have to w8 more 24h :s
btw the best spot for audinos is in the giant chasm (lv50-55) .
Otherwise you can chill out on route 12(im not sure about the number so , its the route where you can catch combees etc , right next to the giant chasm) where you can get them at (lv47-50) .
hope i helped ^^

Now my question , can any1 tell me some gr8 teams for battle subway?
I have almost all pokemons so , just need some items , so , opinions are acepted ! :D

Which Pokémon in B/W gives the most EXP, excluding Audino?

Whoa, you only searched one date? You'd be lucky if you even found a seed. When you're searching for shiny captures (with specific IVs) you have to make it search a couple of months at least.

OK, so you found your seed, that's good. What is the PID frame for the shiny? Also, do you know how to check your starting PID frame? (Catch a Pokémon, use its Nature/Ability/Species to find out. RNG reporter should give you a list of PID frames that you can look this up with). Also, The IV frame is 1 right?

Wait,im in Standard Method 5 right now and i clicked the "Check For Nearby Shiny Frames".Am i suppost to go to Method 5 PIDRNG?Or copy my current seed into the main clipboard and search for a PID frame there?

Uh IDK the exact procedure (I use PPRNG instead of RNG Reporter because I'm on a Mac, so the procedure is different). You need to do something that will give you a list of PID frames with the corresponding ability, nature, ESV (encounter slot), and gender. Alternatively, you could use the "calculate initial PID frame feature and that usually works most of the time. Also, RNG reporter should tell you what the shiny frame of the seed is.

I'll experement with my RNG reported,and try to figure things out with what i've known so far,and i copied my seed to the clipboard,and calculated my initial seed,i got 51.

That sounds about right, you still should learn to calculate the initial one without the aid of that button (sometimes it doesn't work due to wandering NPCs or other factors). All you have to do is use Chatot to advance your frame to whatever frame the shiny is at. For example, if your shiny frame were 81, you'd have to advance it 30 times.

Also, if you have any more questions, VM me. I don't want to clog up this thread with all these posts X_X

Can someone answer this question?
Female dw Vulpix + ditto(jpn) = non dw vulpix or dw vulpix ?

Non DW Vulpix, to get a hidden ability through breeding, the female Pokemon has to breed with its male counterpart in order to pass down its ability. It still has a chance to not work though.

In your case you need a male vulpix. If your trying for shiny then you need a non english male vulpix.

Quick question. I'm no EV expert. I used vitamins on my Caterpie who I think was still level 1 at the time until I got the "it won't have an effect" message when I tried any of the vitamins. The EV feathers won't work either. So, is there anything else I can do to boost its stats besides theoretically fighting specific Pokemon that carry the EVs I want?

Click to expand...

You can't boost its stat with vitamins once its EV's are equal to or over 100. So you can only use 10 on a Pokemon (10 EVs in each Vitamin) then you'll have to battle Pokemon to raise its EV's, to speed up the process, infect your Pokemon with pokerus and have it hold an item that promotes EV Gain (Power Items).

Hope this helped :)

Thanks, that does help. How do I infect a Pokemon with Pokerus?


Two other questions, both related to each other:

1. I move a Pokemon from a generation IV game to a generation V game via the PokeShifter, will I be able to send it back? What I want to do is send a Hitokage from Pokemon HeartGold or SoulSilver to my Pokemon White, breed it, and send it back. Can I do that?

2. If I can't do this, can I breed the Hitokage in the generation IV game and send the egg permanently to my White game?
