The problem is I just can't trust myself to do a perfect job with counting the EV's and I would really like the confirmation lmao

I'm pretty sure if you use Ev/Iv checking codes on Pokemon it doesn't make it "hacked" I'm not too familiar with the hack checking of the VGC. I'd either Google to find your answer or ask over in the CBC question thread. :)

I don't know if this goes here, but:

In the house where you get the Larvesta egg, there's a guy in shades in the carner who taks about pokemon and items behind rocks. Who is this guy, and what is his purpose?

He's probably just another NPC that gives you tidbits of info. Nothing major.

EDIT: Whoops, guess I was wrong...

OK, turns out he buys Rare Bones. As for where to GET rare bones, they're a 1% chance hold item on dwebble and crustle.

You can also purchase them for 10,000 in Black City and sell them for 5,000.

Hi, when I EV train I start at training at level 1 and of course the Pokemon I'm training isn't strong enough to defeat the EV giving Pokemon and I heard that using Exp. Share gives the Pokemon that has the Exp. Share EVs wanted or not. What's a good way to EV train?

You could just use Rare Candies to level it up to a decent level. It doesn't gain Ev's that way. Or you could get a fully Ev'd Pokemon and do the switching method. Since the fully Ev'd Pokemon has maximum Ev's, it won't gain any unwanted Ev's, leaving your level 1 Pokemon to get the full Exp and the Ev's. :)

[Switching method = Sending out level 1 Pokemon. Instantly switching for level 100 Ev'd Pokemon]

You'll have to get a male Machop/Machoke/Machamp from Generation IV and teach it Ice Punch and Cross Chop. Breed it with a female Electabuzz or Electivire.

Then hatch the egg.

What pokemon would I have to defeat and how many to get this Ev spread; 252 HP / 184 Def / 72 Spe. Thanks.

[greg0915]

for 252 HP you would have to kill 42 Stunfisk while holding the Power Weight
for 184 Def you would have to kill 39 Yamask while holding the Power Belt and 4 without.
for 72 Spd you would have to kill 12 Liepard while holding the Power Anklet

Or you could just bring it to me and i'll train it in 10 mins

The Pokemon that give out the Ev's are;

HP - Audino and Palpitoad both give 2 points
Defense - Sewaddle and Venipede give 1 Point. Whirlipede gives 2 points
Speed - Basculin, Purloin, Blitzle and Woobat. They all give 1 point.

The above Pokemon aren't the only ones to give those Ev's, but they're the easiest to find.

With no items or PKRS helping you, you'd have to defeat 72 speed Ev giving Pokemon and so on. For Hp you'd have to defeat 126. :) With items and such, idk because I'm lazy. x-x

I think basculin give 2 points for the speed

I was reading up on the Dream World, and apparently there's a 50 pokemon limit. I'm confused about what this means. Can I only catch 50 pokemon per cartridge, and then no more? Or is it just that the Entree Forest can only HOLD 50 pokes at one time? I want to have every pokemon's DW ability so I need to know if I can do it without trading.

Also, does your Friend Board reset to zero when you restart the game?

I'm pretty sure it's 50 that the Entree Forest can have. :)

Um, I'm not too familiar with the DW but I'm pretty sure it won't. Since it'll still be the same Game ID and cartridge, right? \: But then again, I'm not certain. Best let someone else answer this part. I know for certain that it's 50 for the Forest though. :)

So the box system expands this time.

Is this from manually placing in PC, or will it expand even if my capturing fills up Box 8 with Sturdy Boldore?

Am trying for Dragonspiral Tower as catch location for cover dragon.

For the boy system, once you have at least 1 Pokemon in all 8 boxes, it will expand to 16, iirc then place another Pokemon in each of those new boxes to expand it to 24.

[slickmario]

Following what he said, the box will start to expand after you defeat Ghetsis at N's Castle.

I don't think this is necessarily true. I've heard of people trying to get Zekrom/Reshiram in the Dragonspiral tower, and you can only do that after every box is full, and they've had to fill up all 24 boxes.

[slickmario]

That's because you can't get Zekrom/Reshiram from the tower until after you beat Ghetsis

[Toujours]

But to get it to go there you have to fill all your boxes, so if it didn't expand before defeating Ghetsis then you wouldn't have to catch 24 boxes of Pokemon, which is what I've been hearing is happening for people.

[slickmario]

How to get Zekrom/Reshiram from DS Tower.
1. Fill up your party and all 8 PC boxes.
2. Defeat dragon at N's Castle. It flies away.
3. Beat N.
4. Beat Ghetsis.
5. Catch at tower after credits roll.

I don't know about other people, but you only need to fill up 8 boxes for the dragon to go to the tower. And it's not really worth it. Contrary to popular belief, you cannot catch them shiny at the tower anyway.
