Sadly, there are no events giving out Arceus going on right now so your only option is probably trading.

You can check out the Trade Corner's Quick Trade Thread where you may be able to request one for someone to trade you. Don't use the GTS though, since the requests there can be so silly and illegal.

Remember the Quick Trade Thread is there for any trade requests you need.

Hmmm, are you using a ROM? That might be the problem. If not, just take out your game, reinsert it and try again. If that doesn't work then I'm not sure how to help.

It works for like a second if i start the game without c-gear then when I get in it says "Connection error, Turn off the power." That is w/o c-gear. Even after ejecting the game (i play it on my 3ds. Not a rom) it still don't work if c-gear is enabled. I've also done all of the game sync stuff.

Where did you buy the game from?

Hmmm, are you sure it's an official retail cartridge? Bootlegs are notorious for not working correctly and breaking down a few weeks after being bought. I've never had that sort of problem nor have I heard of this happening before.

I did a quick google search of your problem, and the only people with a similar problem are people using a ROM and a flash cart, so you might want to confirm that your cartridge is a retail one and not a bootleg.

Hmm... it may have been a bootleg, normally stores like that are good at filtering those out but some still get through. I'd recommend going to the store and telling the what has happened.

[eagles legend]

Maybe I'll just get a full refund and spend an extra $5-$6 more on a new copy.

It should be all good then right?

Yep a new copy should work fine. And that new game smell

is Pokémon Black & White still work with Pokémon Global Link since the B2 W2 update???

[GolurkIsDaBomb]

I'm not positive of the answer, but it should still as I think heartgold/soulsilver still work with the global link!

Confirming. Black/White still work with the Global Link, even after the Black 2/White 2 update.

I caught PokéRus. How can I keep it forever in 5th gen?

"Incubate" them.

Spread it to one Pokemon before the virus goes away and put the first Pokemon in the PC. Then take the 2nd Pokemon who just got the disease and spread to another one, etc.

Either my search terms are poor or no one has come across this issue, I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction.

A long time ago, I got a copy of Pokemon Black from Gamestop on the day of release, and within a few hours of playing, I caught an Audino, and I named her K'Tia. In the time I've battled with her, I obtained Hidden Power and her ability was to put Pokemon to sleep from time to time. In the 60+ levels I've battled with her, this has never changed.

Well, until recently. I've started getting into the battle trains in order to get BP to help my Raichu's defense, and I noticed something odd -- I used K'Tia as part of my battling circle since she has the best balance of moves to start with, but her Hidden Power no longer puts Pokemon to sleep - instead it paralyzes them. I wrote this off as the end effect of capping all the competing Pokemon to level 50 and assumed it was more akin to "borrowing pokemon like the ones I entered, retaining all the same moved", kind of like how Pokemon Stadium uses a Ditto to "clone" registered Pokemon. However, after I completed the battle train segment (and rage quitted after I lost a battle due to the opponent using Explosion. He fainted FIRST! >_<') I started going back to normal battles, yet K'Tia's Hidden Power seems to have stuck -- She still paralyzes Pokemon instead of putting them to sleep. My research tells me this is not supposed to happen -- any ideas on how I can fix this? Preferrably without having to catch another Audino?

[Sydian]

Whoa. Hidden Power doesn't do that. Secret Power, however, can do that. And Secret Power depends upon your location as to what its effects are. So I think you're confusing the two.

There's a table in here explaining the effects better than I can: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Secret_Power

Yep, that was what it was. I guess I need to be more perceptive, but then again, I've also been insanely lucky to have Secret Power always do the same effect since it was learned, so I didn't think to look it up. ' Thanks for the quick reply as well.

Is it possible to reach Relic Castle and catch a Yamask before challenging Burgh? I need this to help with a project involving the Monotype Challenge, and it would be much appreciated to find out.

Sorry, no.

The northern part of Route 4 (which includes Desert Resort and Relic Castle) is blocked until you get the Insect Badge.

So unfortunately you need to defeat Burgh before you can get Yamask.

[NecrumWarrior]

Alright, thanks! It doesn't hurt me, I just need to know if there's a ghost before the 3rd gym so I can keep track of things better.

Yamask is the first of the ghosts if I recall. I think it goes Yamask, Frillish (Since you get surf around Driftveil I believe), Litwick, then Golett as their areas appear. Yamask are only in Relic Castle which is only available after the 3rd Gym. Frillish is available on various sea routes after you attain Surf. Litwick is after Mistralon, 6th Gym in the Celestrial Tower. Golett is in Dragon Spiral Tower after Icirrus (7th Gym). I think that's the order they appear story wise.

Actually, Litwick is encountered before Frillish because Surf is obtained after the 6th badge, and you need to go through Celestial Tower before taking on the 6th Gym.

In the Dream World, is it possible to bring back more than just one Pokemon? Because it says when I get one Pokemon, the rainbow road will be closed until I brought back the DW Pokemon into my DS.

[Forever]

Just one! Unless you got another Pokemon from an event and haven't brought it back yet, then you can get more than one. Otherwise there's only one from the Tree of Dreams!
