    • Have you finished the main storyline yet? If not, then that's your problem. Either that or the events aren't available yet.

    Well, i'm losing my internet, possibly tonight, and i'd like to find an a-ok generator before i do, since i don't have any friends who own the game.

    i think this goes here so...

    I would really like to know with shadow pokemon in pokemon XD, can you manipulate their nature with synchronizers just like you do with normal pokemon?? And does their nature change if you soft reset before you purify them to the point of where it shows their nature or is it set??

    Thanks to whoever gets to my question =)

    • Their nature is probably set once you catch it, but I'm not entirely sure.

    Synchronize does not work as a nature influence in XD.
    The out-of-battle effects for moves like Synchronize were not featured in Ruby and Sapphire... which was when XD came out.

    You're better off saving before the fight, catching the Shadow Pokemon, purifying it, checking it's nature and resetting again.
    If I remember correctly you can't see the natures on Shadow Pokemon until you purify them... but I could be wrong.
    In other words, it's a huge headache.

    For future reference the nature is set when you encounter it.
    So you can't soft reset before purifying either. x.x;

    Nah, I think it shows up after you've gotten down to the last (or next to last) bar on the shadow meter. If you're going for specific natures, I suggest catching the Pokemon in another game where it's easier. |:

    The quickest way would be to stick them in the Purification chamber in XD, and then purify the rest by walking and battling so while you do that, up to nine Pokemon get purified steadily in the purification chamber. It's a decently quick process if you have a max tempo going as well. (The scents work as well iirc...)

    When does Pokemon Ranger 3 come out in the US?

    I don't believe anyone knows that as no date has been announced yet? Would just have to wait to find out I suppose.

    How do you obtain HMFly in PMD1
    Click to expand...
    Well first you need the Friend Area called Dragon Cave.
    It unlocks a certain dungeon called Wyvern Hill.
    Fly is in the chamber on the 30th floor.. you need a key for it obviously.

    You can find keys for chambers scattered on the ground in Solar Cave. :3

    The only legit way to obtain the Time Flute in XD is by obtaining it in a trade.
    For instance putting the Time Flute on a Colosseum Pokemon and trading that Pokemon to a GBA Pokemon game.
    Then trading that Pokemon from the GBA to XD.

    Thanks. But how do I get Dragon Cave? Wigglytuff says he can't get it. The most recent event I've done is Kyogre, I'm waiting for buried Relic to unlock but that's not working even though I've done so many rescues I'm already diamond rank.

    • Is there an 'easier' way to get good natures from Gamecube Shadow Pokemon other than saving before partial purity?

    I know Emerald has the Synchronize bonus. Hoping it's in one of the two 'Cube games.

    It's a reward for a mission.
    But for the sake of simplifying things here's the Wondermail for it.

    P?2? ??Y? 4???
    YF?? F4T0 8???

    Neither Colosseum nor XD have the Synchronize out-of-battle effect.
