Gah, whats the fastest way to get leftovers? I've got 3 so far... 1 from pickup, 1 from victory road and 1 from a wild muchlax. muchlax was like the 500th tree, and pickup was probably the 500th battle =S

They're the only three ways according to serebii. You could always just clone the ones you have in the gts.

 

[Dark Destiny]

Dont wanna clone, so i guess i'll do it the slow way. thanks anyway

How long does it normally take for an Enigma berry to grow? I planted one at least two days ago and it is still a measly sprout. I did use damp mulch which I slows down growth, but I planted a tomato berry too with the same mulch and got berries from it yesterday.

 

[LethalTexture]

All the event berries take along time to grow, as I'm growing Micle and Custap berries myself right now. I believe these berries take a day for each stage, although I could be mistaken.

 

[You're Gonna Go Far Kid!]

I think Serebii said it took 24 hours for an Enigma Berry to grow.

It really depends on what typing you want, and what stats you want. Drifblim makes a better attacker/ Baton Passer/ Status Inflictor, while Vespiquen makes a better tank.

And to compare stats

Drifblim: 150/80/44/90/54/80
Vespiquen: 70/80/102/80/102/40

Drifblim's high hp helps a bit with its terrible defense but on the reverse, Vespiquen's good defenses help with it's low hp.

So its up to you which one you would prefer.

I have a question. Where can an Infernape be found in Pokemon Diamond? Or is there a trainer who has it? Cause Piplup was my starter so I can't evolve my Chimchar cause I don't have one.

What is a good Battle tower team and what is the best gamemode to get BP?

Just for the 'Dex data? Humm, Flint of the Elite 4 has one I believe.

I can't answer your first question, but you're best off doing Singles to get BP. Get 21 consecutive wins and you can face the Tower Tycoon, who gives you 20 BP for beating him. Lose a battle after to reset your winning streak to 0, and get to 21 and face him again for more BP. Starmie is supposed to be competent against his first team.

You can find out the Pokémon he uses here, by the way - Serebii.Net/The Battle Tower

Infernape (Inferno)- Flare Blitz, Close Combat, Stone Edge, Swords Dance
Electivire (Sparky)- Thunder, Rock Slide, Brick Break, nothing(is currently Rock Climb but is going to change)
Alakazam (Psyko)- Psychic, Focus Blast, Calm Mind, Hidden Power(Ice)
Honchkrow (Scarecrow)- Dark Pulse, Roost, Nasty Plot, Fly
Garchomp (Jaws)- Earthquake, Crunch, Fire Fang, Dragon Rush
Gyarados (Nessie)- Ice Fang, Surf, Dark Pulse, Dragon Dance

 

[Dark Destiny]

Not great at giving advice but you could replace dragon rush on garchomp with dragon claw or outrage.

Competetive teams should be written up fully as an RMT in the S&M section, with EVs and all. In-game teams need no help since the in-game opponents have their difficult scaled to that of small children- Pokemon's primary audience.

Electivire..........................Magmortar.........................Lapras
