Another question..Lets say the opponent uses the move Yawn, then I defeat it that same turn, will my pokemon still fall asleep? ^_^

Another question..Do EXP Shares stack? Like, can you have one on one pokemon and another on a different one? Cause I know you can get two..One from the battle tower in Castelia and one in that one house for training a pokemon up 50 levels o.o.

1. Yes, Yawn's effect will still be in play, unless the battle ends or you switch it out.
2. Yeah, you can have as many on as you'd like, but I prefer not having the EXP share's giving a little amount of EXP due to it splitting between three Pokemon. XD

Depends if you want competitive or in-game. And, you should only have one move for a type, so only one Fire, one Grass, etc.

You can't really tell if a Pokémon sucks from its stats at Level 1 :\
You also can't tell if a Pokémon is hacked just from the posted stats. Its IVs could all be flawless for all we know (except for defense, which is too low). The "often dozes off" characteristic shows that it has an HP IV that is either 26 or 31. A better way to tell would be to level it up to at least level 20 and use an IV calculator to see if it has a reasonable IV spread/range (i.e. not all between 27 or so and 31). If its IVs are reasonable then it is probably legitimate.

Yeah, you're doing it right, but remember, just because you have a more likely chance of breeding a shiny doesn't mean you will get it immediately. Or at least that's the case for me. But not for others...

Just going to add in that although you've been answered: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=228250 <-- that's a thread for checking hacked Pokemon within the Trade Corner. Just use that next time you have a question. :)

[Seeds Horizon]

That would be Axew as its first form, then Fraxure as its second. Haxorus is the final evolution. (:

[Seeds Horizon]

Ahah thanks! Okay, I know ive asked a lot of questons today..But last one! Where can I find those two? Dragonspiral tower? Or a cave?o.o Sorry, havent played Pokemon in awhile..and last was Diamond and only made it halfway through that one :/. So everything is kinda new to me..lol

[Starrodkirby86]

Go to Mistralton Cave to find Axews.

Fraxures I believe are in Victory Road?

Axew is found at Mistralton Cave, and Fraxure is found at Victory Road, outside, on the cracked ground.

Whats the second clock for, when you save your game.. for example, the time now is 9am, but when i go to save my game, it says 9am at the top along with the date and my location, then underneath where it says my badges, it says the time is 19:54

so what's this time for? thanks

That means your total playtime, which doesn't really matter in general, but it's still something nice to know. :)

Ok a quick question about EV training. Just want to know if i am doing this right or not. Im currently trying to EV train my LV50 Electivire in Attack. I have given him the Power Bracer and am battling low level Patrat's. Am i right in saying that if i battle about 122 of them, once he gets LV100 you will notice that he has been EV trained.

You shouldn't even need that many. A Patrat gives one and the Bracer four attack EVs. For a maxed-out 255 Attack stats, you need to fight only 51 Patrat. That's just Attack, though. Speed or whatever else you want on it needs to be done separately.

Ok thanks for that, im presuming i wont notice the change in the stat until i train him to level 100 thought?

[Misheard Whisper]

No, stats recalculate after every battle, although yes, by definition it gets more and more visible as the level gets higher.

Are fighting type pokémon useful in black/white?
I wanted to use a Sawk, but if it's usefulness stops after beating lenora...

...Winona isn't in Black and White. I think you mean Skyla.

But as a whole, I do believe they are useful - especially against Team Plasma (which uses mainly dark types and such). I used Sawk the whole way through on one playthrough and did pretty well, though you're best if you have a fire/ice type to back it up towards the end, in my opinion. :x

edit: lol saw your edit XD;

[Meri-tje]

A fire and ice type will be a pain
Are there even any useful ones in gen 5?
Maybe Darumaka or Litwick... If those are available...

If I pick up Sawk I already have 4 members on my party
And I was leaving a spot for the electric tarantula thingy
(I'm afraid it will take ages for me to get one though)
Is it just me or did they actually create a useful spider for once?

So that'd make my future party something like this:

Sawk (1) maybe I could replace it with Scrafty (1?) later on...
Serperior (1)
Simipour (1) (why oh why did you have to have lonely nature, sniff...)
Unfezant (3) / Darmanitan (2) / Chandelure (1)
Galvantula (1)

Ah it's too damn hard
I'm not able to get all of those in the early game

If I can actually get a nice fire type I wasted my time with pidove...
Sigh... That's why I hate bird types... They tend to be so replaceable...

Suggestions / Ideas?

[Misheard Whisper]

I picked up a Throh (not unlike your Sawk ofc) specifically to deal with Lenora. I then kept it on my team through the whole game because it was just so fantastic. It's a real powerhouse, and I recommend keeping one. And Throh and Sawk were two of just a very few Pokemon that I had trouble with when I ran into them lategame. So yeah, def worth it.

[Meri-tje]

Then I'll keep it :D
Now I dumped pidove in the box
And hoping to find a nice fire type pretty soon in the game
And an electric type or ice type
Since I have 2 pokémon weak to flying right now
And my panpour can't actually handle flying types all that well
Are there any new ice types in gen 5?

[Misheard Whisper]

Cryogonal and Cubchoo/Beartic are the only ones that spring to mind, but the former is rather rare. I'm sure there are more, though, discounting Kyurem.

Yeah there is. The bear with a snot and the vanilla sundae.

[Meri-tje]

Wow...
They actually look usable :D
Yay

I might actually go for it
Now to choose between Darmantian and Chandelure...

Which one would work best if I go with an ice type on my team

Serperior
Simipour
Sawk
Darmantian / Chandelure
Cryogonal / Beartic
Electric type, preferably the spider lol
