hi.ummm where can i find dragonair or dratini in pearl(do i nedd to use waterfall to find em)

Yes, you do need Waterfall. If you search around the upper level of Mt. Coronet, you should eventually find a waterfall. Go up it and into another cavern and Dratini is found fishing with the Super Rod.

Does exp.share also share the Ev points gained? if so is it half of the points gained or is it all of them?

 

[True Justice]

Does exp.share also share the Ev points gained? if so is it half of the points gained or is it all of them?

Yes, EVs do get passed down. Depending on the Pokemon you defeat, your lead Pokemon and Pokemon holding EXP Share both gain the same amount of EVs gained from the defeated Pokemon. However, Extra EVs for Power Items are not included.

Exp share gives both pokes the full amount of EVs, so if you beat a gyara both pokes get 2 Attack Effort Points.

None of the boosts applied to the battler are counted. I cannot remember if the Exp share bearer gets a boost if infected, I will look it up.

 

[Demeter]

Pokerus only doubles EVs. And infected pokemon does not gain extra exp.

 

[Haza]

Pokerus only doubles EVs. And infected pokemon does not gain extra exp.

I think he meant tthe EVs of the Exp Shre holder because they too get EVS

Is there any way to back up my pokemon save game?

I've done so much on it now that I would hate to lose it somehow!

The Mansion below Hearthome city

When you enter the mansion you have the option of going up, and you get outside where's grass, you can go left or right. But both doors are off-limits. How come? Is there any chance of opening the doors?

 

[Hiidoran]

Nope. There is nothing outside of those doors.
People have even tried using cheating devices to get past them and there is really nothing but null back there.

 

[True Justice]

Nope, the doors always remain locked. Even if you walk through them with a code, nothing happens. So you've pretty much seen all there is to the mansion.

Nah... Each game cartridge only holds 1 save file...

My question: Are these things helpful?
- Wide Lens
- Muscle Band
- Wise Glasses
- Expert Belt

Please explain how do they boost the stats.

 

[El Gofre]

Nah... Each game cartridge only holds 1 save file...

My question: Are these things helpful?
- Wide Lens +10% Accuracy
- Muscle Band +10% damage of physical moves
- Wise Glasses +10% damage of special moves
- Expert Belt +20% damage of super effective hits.

Please explain how do they boost the stats.

Over wifi, the only two worth using are wide lense and expert belt. The 10% boosts are hardly worth using.

I think some cheat cartridges and flash cards can do that. My brother has a SuperCard Slot-2; I use it to back up my save file sometimes.

 

[Precious Tears]

Do the boosts rise every turn?

 

[El Gofre]

Do the boosts rise every turn?

Nope, they're set. A continual rise would be extremely imbalanced.

 

[Precious Tears]

Nope, they're set. A continual rise would be extremely imbalanced.

So that means...
If my Infernape is attached with Expert Belt while he is fighting with an Ursaring, his Close Combat will be rise, right? But how about his Brick Break? (The movesets are only example.)

Any move that does super effective damage will be given the boost, so your fight moves will be +20% but your fire moves will not.
