[B2/W2] Quick Questions

[AdrianD]

Is there Official pokemon VCG rules links somewhere? Not smogon rules

[XanderO]

Smogon pulls out the codes from the games and adds it to their own system. They don't tweek item effects. A lot of testing came from the game themselves.

From Personal Test I know the latter half about the abilities blocking it are true, same if the Pokemon holding the Cell Battery is Ground Type.

As for Official info, there never is any official info on how items work outside of the in game descriptions which don't state that the holder takes no damage when the item is consumed.

I've never tested Cell Battery nor Absorb Bulb outside of the few test I did for ability/type blocking.

What I mean is there VCG rules posted somewhere? Or will they be posted for the tournament. Would like to use a rain team

[XanderO]

Officially only things banned are Dark Void, Chatot/Chatter, (small list of assorted legends around the 600BST range), and Sky Drop. This is off the top of my head, but other than in specificly stated tournaments, those have been consistent. Chatot itself is banned due to an issue with Chatter rather than the attack itself.

If that still isn't what you are asking, try being like pre-school specific cause I derp hard sometimes.

[AdrianD]

No its answered. Thanks. I just wanted to make sure there if there was a rule book some where. Because I want to make a trick room resistant troll team that swims :). God I hate trick room

They usually have a Downloadable PDF file on their website. It usually takes a bit of searching to find it.

The Keldeo event is currently going on.

Dragonite is primarily a physical attacker, so Surf doesn't see much use. Check its Smogon article for more info.

Is there anyone that will give you a bunch of Yellow Shards? I know someone gives you ten Red Shards in Nimbasa, so I would assume there's someone that does the same for the yellow ones. If so, where are they? Thanks in advance.

Question about the Regis... to catch Regigigas in B2/W2, do all three Regis have to be from your game? I know you need all of them to wake up Regigigas, but I can't get Registeel because I don't know anyone with B2. However, I do have a Registeel from Hoenn, will that still work?

In order to encounter Regigigas, none of them have to be from your game cart, so you can trade for any Regis you missed or transfer them from Gen III/IV.

Edit: @Sydian: the only person who gives you a bunch of Shards is the gentleman at Nimbasa, who'll give you 10 Red Shards. You'll have to find Yellow Shards randomly, sadly. They can be random consolation prizes at the PWT, random prizes at Join Avenue's Antique Shop or in the dust clouds at Relic Passage or Reversal Mountain.

Does anyone know if there are any participating Walmart stores for the Pokemon BW2 DW Sinnoh Starter code promotion in the Bellevue, WA area or at least close to it?

You have to call your Wal-Mart to find out. As far as I know there is no online list with all of them on it.

I've read that trading between BW and BW2 is possible, as opposed to one-time transfers to BW2. I want to trade Genesect from White 2 to Black, reset White 2 and trade him back to White 2 from Black. I know it would register as traded and not native, but that's not a big deal. Basically, is this all correct/possible?

Yes, it's possible to do that. But you still need your 1st Gym Badge in White 2 to trade.

What is the possibility of a Male dream world ability to be bred over with a female of its own kind? Is it the same 20%

[Sydian]

Males don't pass over Dream World abilities.

What are the possible pass codes for the Plasma boat? I can't read my game, and I haven't noticed any numbers given out, so...lol idk how I ever did this before.

Edit: I looked them up on Serebii and have tried all the codes, even the numbers, and I still have had no success. I battled all the grunts as well.

[AdrianD]

I know that one pass code on the boat is the either the same or opposite legendary dragon like in Black I believe Zekrom is but check Reshiram. i am presuming you have the plasma card right

[Sydian]

My game is Japanese, so Zekrom or Reshiram definitely aren't the passwords (in English I mean). lol And yes, I got the card. I tried all the combos that Serebii gave me and nothing worked, unless I'm reading things wrong. But I did them all about three times with no luck. So idk.

Have you tried "2202"? I think that's the password in my White 2 game.

[CycloneGU]

Here's an interesting question. Has anyone ever tried trading any Pokémon to B/W that are either N's Pokémon or Pkmn Dream Radar catches? I'm curious what they look like for the "where caught" status and such in that game, and clearly, while N's OT and 00002 ID are retained, I'm guessing it would not retain the statement about being owned by a powerful trainer either in B/W or upon trading back to B2/W2.

Same question could be applied to Route 19-23 catches and other new areas (Seaside Cave for instance). I already know they revert to "Faraway place". Do they get their original catch location back upon tradeback or stay that way permanently?

I see that you have already solved it, but for the others:
(even though I have already answered this question xD)
If grunts tell you a number then the password is 'xx0x' where the x is the number in question.
If not, then the password is Zekuromu/Reshiramu in katakana (or in latin if playing English version).

Just to clarify, Zekuromu is ゼクロム and Reshiramu is レシラム. This could help if you don't know how to read Japanese. If those don't work, there are a set of numbers that could be the password, which are 2202, 7707 or 9909. If one doesn't work, try another. One is bound to be the correct password.

I don't know about N's Pokemon, but I know Dream Radar Pokemon turn into "Faraway Place." Also, I'm fairly sure that Pokemon with Faraway Place revert back to their original catch location when traded back to B2W2.
