...Leaf Blade? Tangela can't actually learn that move. Are you sure that you do not mean Leaf Storm?

 

[ThatGameGuy]

It is Pokerus (Pokemon Virus), and it doubles the Effort Values gained per pokemon you defeat in battle. It helps your pokemon grow faster (as in, stats increase faster) and it's very rare, so congrats. It is in no way harmful to your pokemon.

You should spread it to most/all of your pokemon. To spread it, enter a battle and your party members will catch it sooner or later.

When the game strikes midnight, PKRS may disappear after 1-3 days. A yellow :| face will replace the purple box. Your pokemon will still have the "doubling" effect but they cannot spread the virus. To prevent this, deposit your team or whoever carries it (like some spare pokemon) into the PC overnight.

If you're unsure of what Effort Values are, either search for some guides here or feel free to ask in this sticky. We are here to help~

Remember that you cannot gain Effort Values when they've reached level 100.

Ah,That is good to know.
I was afraid to train my pokemon that were effected it because i had no idea what the out come could be,but thank you TwilightBlade.

Are these things true about D/P?

Ways to get manaphy There are two ways to get manaphy:

1. Get pokemon ranger and access ranger net and do a VERY LONG MISSION.

2. Go to jubilife city or sunyshore city and wait till you see a man in green in front of the counter. he gives you the manaphy egg.

Arceus After you beat the game go to solaceon town until you see professor elm. he will tell you about a dogish looking pokemon. then go to sandgem town and head inside the lab. you will see your rival and he will say that rowan went back to the spear pillar at mount coronet. go up there and talk to him. he will be with an old man. the old man will give you a clathentic orb. go to victory road and head out the secret exit(the guy will only let you go through if you get the national dex)go to the end of the route where that big stone is at. use the orb and it will break open. arceus will come out. then it will dissapear. go back to the snowpoint city and it will be there. press A again at it and it will leave again. go to wayard cave where mira waz at and battle it at level 70.

Enlarge Your Secret Base At the battle zone beat your rival 100 times and you will be able to enlarge it. heres some more stuff:

beat him 150 times:get a gorgeous gem
beat him 200 times:get a pokemon trophy (bronze)
beat him 250 times:get a pokemon trophy (silver)
beat him 300 times:get a pokemon trophy (gold)
beat him 1000 times:you unlock the hoenn region-you can go there and explore
beat him 1500 times: unlock johto region
beat him 2000 times: unlock kanto region -yes this seems impossible but its not. just go every few minutes and challenge him. oh yeah- if you beat him over 10000 times your game will get a serious glitch

Giratina Giratina is a Dragon/Ghost type. It's # 487 in the National Dex. Now heres how you get this awsome pokemon. After you get the National Dex, go to the Return cave wich is in Route 214. Go to the very back of the cave, you will find this legendary pokemon. It's at Lv. 70. Like all Legendarys, this pokemon has an unkown gender. Try using Dusk, Ultra, and Quick Balls. Or easily toss the Master Ball.

Planthy Planthy is a grass type legendary that is the final pokemon in your pokedx. heres how 2 get it: irst unlock benco city by beating the elite four 7 times.after you find the emerald there take it to pro. rowan and he will tell you that it unlocks a legendary pokemon. then go to wayward cave where mira was at. you will see an exit. go out there and it will be called mystic garden. get to the end of it and battle it at level 70

Unlocking Benco City Unlocking Benco City is not hard. Just beat the Elite Four 7 times!

Are these true?

Are these true?

Planthy,Benco city,Rival battles, and Arceus are not true.

Ways to get manaphy There are two ways to get manaphy:

1. Get pokemon ranger and access ranger net and do a VERY LONG MISSION.

-It's not that long, I don't think. There is another mission on Ranger 2 though. Short.

2. Go to jubilife city or sunyshore city and wait till you see a man in green in front of the counter. he gives you the manaphy egg.

-Nope, that only happens after you connect your DS with another DS with a game cart with the Manaphy Mission complete.

Arceus After you beat the game go to solaceon town until you see professor elm. he will tell you about a dogish looking pokemon. then go to sandgem town and head inside the lab. you will see your rival and he will say that rowan went back to the spear pillar at mount coronet. go up there and talk to him. he will be with an old man. the old man will give you a clathentic orb. go to victory road and head out the secret exit(the guy will only let you go through if you get the national dex)go to the end of the route where that big stone is at. use the orb and it will break open. arceus will come out. then it will dissapear. go back to the snowpoint city and it will be there. press A again at it and it will leave again. go to wayard cave where mira waz at and battle it at level 70.

-Fake. Arceus wasn't even distributed yet. He will later Spring 2009 in Japan.

wats ev training? I've heard alot about it.

Compiled Guides, bro.

EV Training is basically training with the express purpose of raising a Pokemon's EVs. EVs are invisible stats that add points to a stat (for example, HP EVs add points in HP, Speed EVs add points into Speed, etc.).

[Zebra Thunderhead]

Since you're asking where to get these, I'm going to go ahead and merge it with the Q&A Thread.

-MERGED-

 

[ErnVern]

Sounds like a personal problem...lol j/k I sugest finding a friend or buy the opposite game and an additional DS and just trade starters and the evolutions wouldbe taken care of and then get fire red and leaf green and just do some hella trading....Thats how i would go about it...the only problem would be that you would have to have at least 200 dollars laying around...depending on what games and systems you already have...im sure i didn't help much but i just thought i would throw in my two cents...

Directly from our local FAQ:

Once you have beaten the first Gym Leader in Oreburgh, go down to the basement of the Pokémon Center. Teala, the attendant at the basement, will explain the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection system and give you a Pal Pad. After connecting to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for the first time, your Friend Code will be assigned to you, which you can see if you open the Pal Pad and choose the respective option.

can i ask this whether it's Ev'd Raikou?

LV.100-HAD SMILEY FACE
BRAVE NATURE

[LethalTexture]

Doesn-t look like it: wrong nature and low stats. The smiley face just means it's been cured of Pokérus.

 

[Xebelleon]

A Pokemon's weight & Pokemon battle dynamics...

Is it just LOW KICK & GRASS KNOT that interact Pokemon 'poundage'?
