The Simple Question & Answer Thread

[Lighten]

Feebass and of course Milotic are the only 2 pokemon I am missing from completing my Hoenn Dex.

I have searched hours on end for this little runt. I want to scramble the tiles but the guy will not let me. He's saying 'I think Well Ball is what is real in cool' Oh my god, can someone help me? He's been like this for ages.

Adding to the difficulty, other Pokémon besides Feebas will still appear in the Feebas blocks as well. There is no known easy method to determine which blocks contain Feebas: the only way is fish repeatedly into each and every water block on the route, doing so enough times to be reasonably confident that no Feebas are in that block (or else just risk missing a block). Any rod can find Feebas. Once hooked, a Feebas is an easy catch, and they can be fished from the same tile many times.
The tiles appear to change location arbitrarily whenever the trendy phrase in Dewford Town changes.

What it's saying is that Feebas are only found in 6 specific water tiles on Route 119. The tiles change according to the trendy phrase in Dewford Town. Any type of rod can yield Feebas as long as it's fished on one of the 6 specific tiles generated by the trendy phrase.

However, there is a chance of other Pokemon showing up as well, so be patient. You will have to try fishing on every single tile in hope you eventually find one.

To evolve Feebas into Milotic, you need to max out its Beauty contest stat by feeding it Pokeblocks that raise the Beauty condition. Blue and Indigo Pokeblocks are your best bet.

Feebas is a real pain in the butt to get. Just get a Super Rod and fish on EVERY tile on route 119 till you get a Feebas. Once you find the spot, be sure to get a few for trading and breeding purposes and remember that spot. I know blue and Indigo Pokeblocks are cool for maxing out its beauty stat, but I only remember Bulk and Weaper berries make Indigo Pokeblocks. Good luck!

Okay so Feebas can be caught with any rod if you're on the correct tile. Once you find one, try and get either a Rash, Quiet, Modest or Mild natured one, as they will be easiest to evolve. The best berry to make beauty PokéBlock out of would be Wiki berries or Pamtre Berries (which are given once by the Berry Master's Wife by saying "Challenge Contest". Also note due to the tiles being based off the trendy saying, if you mix records with another game, you Feebas tiles will change.

Is there any way to get Zapdos to learn Thunderbolt in FireRed without having to go through the dreaded Casino?

No unfortunately, if you need buy coins, use the Vs Seeker and rebattle the Beauty trainer class, they pay a lot.

OK. As many others I recieved the infamous message informing me that the internal battery has run dry in my copy of Emerald. So I went and bought a new battery, replaced the old one, and started up the game. I went back and checked to see if the clock was running and it was, plus I didn't get the message when I started the game.

Well it's been several days now and the time based events DO NOT work??! Lottery is stuck saying "Please come back tomorrow" and berries will not grow. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

I've been considering restarting the game just because I've done most everything, and I've been wondering if that might fix the problem. I'm a little frustrated.

Hmm, this sounds similar to the infamous Berry Glitch in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. However this glitch isn't present in Pokemon Emerald so that's kind of weird. You're completely sure that it's legit cart and not a bootleg?

Anyone knows how I can evolve my Vulpix into a Ninetales in Pokemon Ruby?

There is a Fire Stone in Fiery Path, but you need Strength. You can trade a Red Shard for one on Route 124.

In which town can I find the fisherman that gives me the Super Rod for Ruby version?

Mosdeep City. The man in the house to the north near the Space Centre.

On my copy of LeafGreen, I bred myself a Tyrogue. It has a Quiet nature. I already have both Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan, so I want Hitmontop. What would be the best way for me to level it up so that the attack and defense stats remain the same?

Quiet nature raises Special Attack and lowers Speed, so it does not affect the Attack stat.

Just try using vitamins (specifically Iron and Protein in this case) and you can always save before evolving it, then try and evolve it. If it does not evolve into Hitmontop, you can reset, add more into the stats and try again. Hope that helped you.

Thanks. If I evolve it using an EXP Share and having it in my party, but not fighting any actual pokemon with it, will it affect any stat increases from EVs?

The EXP Share gives the Pokemon that is holding it half the experience and half the EVs that the Pokemon that actually were in battle received. In the case of receiving only 1, I think all Pokemon involved including the one with the EXP Share get 1 EV.

I think this is also the case. My Beldum came to be pretty strong Ev'd even though I was training against one-EV'd wild Pokémon with one of my stronger guys.

[Dullstar]

What exactly happens when the clock battery dies? What events no longer occur in the game, and is it worth replacing the battery?

Do elapsed-time based events function while the game is running?

[Sydian]

Time based events will not occur. So berry growing, the tides at the Shoal Cave, etc. will no longer happen. You're stuck on whatever time your battery died at.

Edit: I've complied this post since this question is always cropping up, and it gets a bit tiresome having to explain the same thing every time we get to a new page in this thread. More will be added to it as more questions and concerns come up.

Hi, ya, 'sup. Salutations. I need help! You see when playing my fire red version of Pokemanz, I went to the Sevii Islands, having all the badges except the sixth and the eighth (I know, but Siplh Co is so puzzling!) So when I go there, I save, heal my pokemon, and then do the Lostelle sid quest and try to get back to Kanto, when the stupid guy in the port will only take me to two island, one island, and three island. Not Vermillion. So, the only solution I can see is starting a new game. But I really don't want to! I have a lv.57 Charizard, a level 49 Electabuzz, and four other good pokemon, so please, if anyone is watching, help! This is EpicStarapor_22 signing out!

After you've completed the Lostelle side quest, you just need to go back into the Pokemon Centre in One Island and talk to Celio and Bill. You'll give the Meteorite you got from Lostelle's dad to Celio and then Bill will take you back to Cinnabar Island. You'd better get crackin' on Silph Co and Sabrina though. Hope this helps.

[EpicStarapor_22]

Thank you so much! I thought I was gonna have to start a new game!

[Jubilation]

Just curious, after I defeat Team Magma at the space centre, what am I supposed to do again? It's been years since I've played Emerald up to this point.

Go get Dive at Steven's house. Then go to the Dive spot with the cave to the Aqua Hideout underwater and defeat them.

[Jubilation]

So I witnessed the fight between Kyogre and Groudon, and I'm stuck as to what I need to do next?
