What's a great place for speed and defense EV training in Black?

For Defense, defeat Venipede's and Sewaddle's in Pinwheel forest. For speed, defeat Woobat, Blitzle's and Basculin's, dotted around the region. For more help, go to the; Ev training guide.

isn't it vise versa? cause zekrom is at front of my white version? oO

Haha, yeah it is. XD I got it wrong. :x

For speed, any water/sea route would do fine. Basculin gives 2 Speed EVs and usually the best way to EV train in that stat. If your Pokémon is at a low level, I'd suggest surfing the area in Striaton City for Basculin, as they are usually around their 10-13's if I remember so correctly.

As for Defense, Sewaddle or Venipede should do. They only give 1 pt each but they're pretty easy to come upon. They are located in Pinwheel Forest.

Hope this helps. :)

Wow, thanks. I am about to start EV training for the first time. All my Pokemon are around the level 50s. I want to face Alder--well, first, the OVERPOWERED LVL 75 Elite 4...then Alder.

Edit: What's so special about Shinies other than they are...rare. And...color changed?

If you're EV training for the first time, I'm sure you'll be interested in taking a look at an EV Training Guide I have in specific for Black and White. :)

Also the deal with shinies, is because they are pretty rare to encounter, many tend to be really proud and excited to find one. There are those who don't really care about encountering them though. There's not really much of a story behind shinies besides the fact that they are a different color for a Pokémon. That's all there is to it about 'em, and why they are considered special.

Yep. It's called EV training! If you'd like to take a look at how it works, you can see how in my Frequently Asked Questions sticky under "EV Training Guide".

Should I use AR to hack and get shiny pokemon and any pokemon that I want? Or should I play fairly? Orrrrr, should I play fairly the first time through the game and then hack the second time?

Thanks!

Well, just play the game without cheats, it'll give you a better gameplay experience. However, if you wanna use cheats go ahead and use em'. n___n

Also, if you do end up hacking your shiny's. Do not. Trade them to others, as trading hacks is against the rules. :x

What is the different between surfing spots and fishing spots?

They both have different rare occuring Pokemon in them, for example a surfing spot might spit up a Poliwrath while a fishing spot might give you a Feebas.

It's good to check somewhere like Bulbapedia and it'll give you all the Pokemon and their occurring rates for both.

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Unova_Route_4

In this case, the rippling water when surfing will either give you a Jellicent or a Alomomola. But if you fish in the rippling water then you'll get evolutions and rarer Pokemon from normal fishing such as Huntail, Kingler, Relicanth, whereas if you just fished you can get a Krabby, Clamperl etc.

Thank you!

Also, if I have a Deerling will it change with the seasons? Or do I have to catch separate Deerling if I want all the different seasonal forms?

Deerling changes according to the season, but it only has this option if it is in your party, they wont change if they're in your PC (which doesn't actually help).
So if you capture a Winter Deerling and we move into Summer, it will change if it is in your party.

But basically no, you only have to capture one Deerling and it will change.

If it's in your party when the seasons change, it will.

EDIT: Hehe, double ninja'd. And no, there's no such policy. I don't see why you'd think that, and frankly you're being a bit rude just to ask. It's only been five minutes or so since you posted your first question. Just because nobody answered it yet doesn't mean we're ignoring you. And besides, you were posting in the wrong place to begin with, I think. This thread is for questions about the games, not the forum. Try Community Questions & Feedback if you have an issue with the forums.

Then perhaps, in future, just a) check what a thread's for before you post in it and b) don't say things that could be construed as rude? No serious forum would have a policy of ignoring newcomers, much less one like PC, which is known for its friendly atmosphere. Asking such a thing just suggests you're annoyed because nobody responded to you for five minutes. Good luck.

I am in fact annoyed because no one responded to me for 5 minutes. Anyway, does this thread include opinion questions?

If not, here's an objective one:

Is the Entralink feature where one can enter the game of another player anything like the underground feature of previous games. (Having never used said feature in present.)
