When RNGing, do DS parameters ever change? Or is it a one time thing?
Like say I change my location of save, do I need to redo the parameter finder, to find new parameters?

The parameters shouldn't change unless you switch the DS you are playing the game on. So it's pretty much a one time thing.

Okay, because I thought it was an always do it kinda thing. It was very time consuming. Also my Timer0 value stayed consistent, is that normal? Everyone elses tutorial theirs changed at least once.

EDIT:Also, is RNGing while charging the DS bad?

If you mean to get events such as the Arceus, you go to the page that shows up right after you log into the Global Link, click "Promotions", and then click on the relevant event and it'll have a text box to put in the password.

I have a few pokemon that I think might have edited EVs and If they are I wont wont to use them so: if they are edited, would it stop them from battling online?

I recently got a copy of Pokemon White at Target since I wanted to start over but my Pokemon were too precious. I got it on February 1st, to be exact. How does the pamphlet with the Lucario code look like (Pokemon on it) or what does it say. All mine says is nonsense about the Global Link.

What's a quick way to make money (that's not the E4)? I just spent some $200K on TMs.

And I know about a) Big Stadium and Small Court, but they're usually too tough for me and b) the Abyssal Ruins, but I always tossed out before I find anything of value.

And I want a PM or I won't know you answered. I don't keep up with this thread.

Guys, remember earlier in this thread I mentioned a Simple Beam glitch where it was colored black for an odd reason? Well today, I was training a Jellicent against an Audino and it happened again!

I can explain it a bit, the animation is normally a pink-yellow color but in this case the animation was black.

Do you think this is an odd glitch?

Cos both times it happened to me, I was training on Route 14 and I was using a Ghost-type against an Audino both times (Chandelure the first time and now Jellicent).

Battle subway

Hi guys

I was wondering what would be a good team to fight in the battle subway.
I'd like to earn some BP so I can buy the EV-enhancement items, which will speed up my EV-training. :)

I'm not good in building a team and I'm bad in creating a suitable moveset >.<

Thanks in advance :)

Masuda Method Questions:
-I have a JPN Tyranitar. I am breeding it with a Ditto, trying to hatch a Shiny Larvitar. Will the Masuda Method come into effect? Because I've gone through tons of eggs, and no shinies.

-I have a French Charmander. Does the Masuda Method still work? Or does it have to be Japanese?

-Is there anywhere that I can catch a Pokemon with the ability Heat Body?

Don't know much about the Masuda Method but I can answer your last question. Assuming you mean Flame Body, Litwick and Larvesta are two that contain the abilities and are found within Unova.

Going to answer the other two then!

Yes the Masuda method works in both cases, just as long as it's a different language.

Sorry but you can't do that here, a much better idea is to head to in-game team help, make a team there and we'll help you make it more Subway-worthy. Otherwise it's against the rules to ask others to make teams for you. :(

Hey all,

Would it serve an offensive pokémon more to increase it's base attacking stat or focus on the STAB bonus? More specifically, to ensure a higher damage output, which is more beneficial?

Lengthy damage calculators lose my interest moments in: as such, this example should help illustrate my question.

Adaptability Arceus-Dragon type using Outrage vs
Pure Power Arceus-Dragon type using Outrage

Both of those Pokémon are illegal but Pure Power is a wonderful ability. It could take Rayqauza's 438 Attack max to 876 without even holding a Choice Band.

I'm sorry for the question, didn't know it was against the rules. :) I'm currently working on a team (im using the smogon pokedex to guide me), as soon as it's done I'll post it in that section of the forum. :)

Do you know any guide that explains how to build up a team? E.g.: how many (physical/special) sweepers do I need? How many (phys/spec) walls do I need? And last but not least: how to build up a moveset? I didn't find any of those guides on this forum (or I overlooked them).

Thx in advance

Nick

My apologies for the duplication...

In other words, the base attack multiplier is more beneficial than the STAB bonus of Adaptability?

Thanks
