Bit stupid of that person to mention it in his post in the journal thread. Thanks for letting me know that it wasn't true.

Please say what levels shouls i raise them to, where can i raise them, and what moves should i teach them?

You could probably beat them with those levels already, although healing items wouldn't hurt and neither would more training if you want... but it should be fine imo. As for better moves... at a glance Focus Blast isn't that useful on Feraligatr - it's not bad but it'd prefer a different physical move. When you no longer need it drop Strength from Quagsire too, and Swift won't get much use from Espeon either beyond maybe the gym after the e4 (and Quagsire will do its job there anyway).

If you want more advice then try the In-Game Team Help sub-section in the Competitive Battling Centre section.

As for the thing about the Sinnoh post - I think the person was just using an expression to say they'd be playing the DPPt games now after beating HGSS rather than trying to say one can buy a ticket in the game itself.

Is there a specific way to make it easier to find shiny pokemon?

1. Use the Poke Radar and try to keep a chain of Pokemon going.
2. Masuda Method (stick 2 different-language Pokemon in the Daycare without them holding the Everstone or Power items; this raises the chances of finding a shiny egg)

[Garrabutártulo]

mmm I think I should post it here, but I'm not sure.

I'm trying to get a chansey with seismic toss. I looked on the internet and some website says I need a tutor. I went to battle frontier and none of the tutors can teach seismic toss.
Is it an egg move or something?

In short: how do I get seismic toss on a chansey?

[Kenshin5]

If I recall correctly the Seismic Toss move tutors are only in FRLG and Emerald.

Then, how do people get chanseys and blisseys with Seismic Toss in Soul Silver?

Most likely they migrate it from one of their third gen games; in this case it's probably from FRLG or Emerald.

Is that the only way? I don't hack or anything. I just have my soul silver.

I corrected myself earlier. I forgot that HG/SS also has its own Pal Park, so they don't necessarily have to trade it over from DPPt. Other than finding someone who has a Chansey with Seismic Toss already that can trade it to you, I would say that's the only other way.

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


To put it simply, I want to have in my possession a Transforming Blissey.
I got a Happiny with 0 IVs in Defense and a Hasty nature, just to make it slightly more fair.
With this glitch, it should be possible according to what I read and watched. However, the video only explains how the glitch works when using Mimic. I do not have access to the Mimic tutor in Emerald, so I need to know how you go about performing the glitch when using Copycat. When I tried it the same way Mimic was used, it just turned Happiny into a Pachirisu, and not my Smeargle with Transform nor my Ditto.

If anyone else has done this with Copycat, please tell me step-by-step how you did it.

[2Cool4Mewtwo]

Interesting glitch, though what does this have to do with berserk gene? just curious.

And who did you use copycat against?

[bobandbill]

As you're asking for help I'll merge with the Help thread.

I can't say I now of the glitch so I don't have any advice for you there, beyond searching on youtube/google for other instances of it really, or trying the trade forums for a Pokemon with Mimic. Alternatively the article is incorrect about the 'Copycat will work' bit which is possible I suppose...

[Nam]

Ok, so this is sort of a general question involving all pokemon games, but since I'm playing Heartgold I guess I'll post it here.

In the GTS you can only search for pokemon you have seen in-game, in other words, pokemon already registered into your Pokedex. So to get those pokemon you haven't registered, you'd have to migrate or get a friend to trade it with you. I was wondering.

When we have battles with friends (or a random wireless battle with someone unknown), will those unknown pokemon be registered to your pokedex? Just as if you were having a normal player vs cpu in-game battle?

[PickupTeam]

Well, apparently it's Berserk due to the nature of the move Rage, and Gene due to the incorporation of Ditto.

I tried using Copycat against both opponents' Pachirisu, against Ditto and against Smeargle. Each time it became Pachirisu.

I guess it doesn't work with Copycat...That's fine. I knew it was too good to be true.

I know in the FAQ it says it isn't possible but is it possible now?

Yes. Here's how to get it. First, you fly to Vermilion City. Next, you surf near the ship and find the truck. Use Strength on the truck, and you will find a Mew. Catch the Mew and show it to Bill, who will be in Bill's Garden (North of Cerulean). He will give you the Sinnoh ticket. You will have to wait until there are 99 successful launches of the Mossdeep Space Center to go to Sinnoh.



Anyways, what is a good nature for a Gengar? I have a Rash natured Gastly, and I think that is great for a Gengar (+ Sp.Atk -Sp.Def), but is there a better nature I should hunt down. I caught it at Sprout Tower, by the way.

[bobandbill]

Moving to the help thread as I'm not quite sure myself but I'm leaning towards the 'wireless battles would not count as seeing them' answer.

@ Elgyem - Other good ones woult be natures that boost speed if you want a really fast one, and ones that reduce attack (unless you intend on exploding or focus punching I guess) would be slightly better too that lowering your special defence (not that it'd help much), but a sp. att boosting one is pretty good.

Since nobody else replied, I will.
Simple answer, no. When you battle it wont register as seen, don't know why but its like that. I wanted to do that once but it won't work. Sorry, I guess the only way is trading to get it seen. Or find it ingame.

I recently found my Platinum, and have been playing until I found a bit of a "firewall".
After beating Candice, I beat the Galactic Commander near Snowpoint City. Now, I simply don't know what to do. I'm currently at Veilstone City seeing if I can infiltrate Team Galactic's Base, but I can't do that, either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yours, Will

You have to go to the Galactic Warehouse and meet Looker. It's pretty straight forward at that point. :)

[WillUsesUU's]

Ah, thank you, but where is Looker? I went into the
Warehouse searched around Veilstone and can't find him.

Are you sure you're in the Warehouse? And not Headquarters?

Once you're in the Warehouse, I'm pretty sure you walk up to the door and Looker will enter the Warehouse and unlock it for you.

[WillUsesUU's]

The sign says "Galactic Warehouse: NO TRESPASSING!", and when I walk in Looker does not enter, and when I look at the door it says that it needs a key, likely the key that looker has. Maybe I need to talk to Looker in another area to make him go to Veiltstone?

Hmm. \: Are you sure that after defeating Candice you went to Lake Acuity and spoke to Jupiter?

[WillUsesUU's]

Yes, I beat the Galactic Commanders at both Lake Acuity and Lake Verity.
