    Have you unlocked it yet? First you have to unlock the extra areas via showing hima Sandshrew, then a Sandshrew to be able to put items in (may have to wait a day first though). Then to actually use items just press A on spaces while you're actually within the safari zone to place them there.

    Oh wow I didn't know you had to press A in the zone. Thanks.

    You can clone using the GTS like in DPPt. However, the PokeWalker idea is out as it's impossible to clone through that at the moment.

    Where do I go after beating the Jasmine, the 6th gym leader? Do I go to Goldenrod and defeat team rocket at the radio tower or head towards Mohagany Town

    Mahogany Town is your next location, where you'll have to catch GYARADOS and then defeat Team Rocket with Champion Lance.

    what do i do after i defeat blue? i got kinda stuck, lol.

    Fight Red and lose. Train a Pokemon to an incredibly high level (100 will do) give an EXP Share to your other Pokemon (best to have more than one) and train against the Elite Four. Red's Pokemon are Level 81-88, so best to train. Then you have to catch all 493 Pokemon.

    Shuckle and rare Candies

    In the original G/S/C you could give Shuckle a berry. It would then turn into berry juice and eventually a rare candy. Is that still possible in the HG/SS?

    No, you get Shuckie (as a gift) holding a Berry Juice, but that is the only one available.

    Are there ways to raise your Pokemons happiness outside of the haircuts in Goldenrod and the Pokewalker?

    dastandy,

    generally first forms of Pokemon in a chain give one point for a certain stat; second stage gives two; and third stage gives three. Pokemon with no evolutions could give anything.

    Since it'd be incredibly long to post here, just check Serebii when you're fighting Pokemon to see what kind of EV they give you and how much:

    https://www.serebii.net

    Click on the left bar the HGSS section (the fourth one, I think) and scroll to where it says near the bottom about EVs.

    Star Girl,

    Give it vitamins, walk with it in-game, don't let it die, let it hold a Soothe Bell, level it up... that's about it, other than PokeWalker and Hair Cut.

    Question

    I'm trying to catch Dratini in the Safari Zone with a Good Rod; I've managed to find many Seaking, but Dratini has yet to show up. Do I need to edit the Safari Zone in some way, or are the "10 Blocks of Water" in the Swamp already there by default, and I need to just be more patient?
