I am trying to get a Pichu to have maximum happiness so that it can evolve
how ever i dont want it to have any battles in order to max the happiness
i heard that there are berries that can do that but reduces stats
if the pichu is given these berries at lvl 1 will it have any effect on possible stats in the future?
Any idea how many berries would i need to give to max out happiness?

No, it doesen't reduce stats. Well, it does in a way. It reduces Effort Values, which is what a Pokémon gains when it battles wild Pokémon.

So no, it doesen't affect its future stats. If it is at lvl 1, those berries doesen't do anything besides raise it happiness. Or.. maybe it doesen't work at all, because it doesen't have any EVs?

I guess you'll have to battle with it a bit before giving it those berries. I'm not sure how many you have to give to it.

Thanks, where can i get a list of Berries that increase Happiness?

 

[jigglyppuff8]

They are Pomeg through Tamato (21-26).

hapiness can be raised too having your pichu on your party and walking a lot of steps and always is a good option go to have a massage pkmn in Veilstone or Resort Area, also if you use a Potion or MooMoo Milk when the HP is full, is hapiness is increased a little bit XD

 

[ultimatediamond]

to increase happiness without berries, go to the house near the gym in south veilstone and give pichu a massage

also you can use the ribbon syndicate second floor (you must have beaten the elite four and you need a pokemon with a lot of ribbons to gain entry - i cant remember how many)

Hmmm... Pokerus?

Hello! Just wondering... How do you get Pokerus? I got a Pokemon (Zangoose) from the GTS that already had it, and I was like, whoa! what up with da smiley face?! LOL! So... I heard that you can get it from beating a random wild Pokemon, but I don't get it! =( Help! Thanks!! ^_^

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

It's based on luck and it's very rare. Chances are you won't ever actually catch it in the wild, so don't count on actually getting it. Your odds of catching the Pokerus are less than your odds of running into a shiny at random.

 

[umbreon_4_life]

Holy smokes! Yowza, that's a slim chance! Well, thanks for telling me! *Umbreon walks away with a droopy head, thinking that she'll never ever get Pokerus on her special Umbreon...*

Oh, the sadness!

Trying to get Pokerus sucks!

magikarp question

ok i am searching for a level 99 magikarp and so far i caught a level 89 and i kinda thinking i should give up on the search what should i do??

 

[Griffinbane]

Actually, trying to get Pokerus isn't as hopeless a venture as you'd think it is. All you need to do is to find someone willing to trade you a pokemon that has pokerus active on it, then you can spread it all around to your other pokemon whenever you'd like!

 

[Zan]

I think i have 1 and if not i had 1 pokemon with pokerus
I dont know if i still have it or not as the pokemon is on pokemon ranch
i dont know but i remeber that you get this odd smily face when pokerus is over

anyway dont give up just play the game and 1 pokemon might catch it.

The smily face means that its been cured of it so that means it can not spread it to any other pokemon. i think the chance rate of finding one in the wild is similar to finding a shiny in the wild

 

[ultimatediamond]

the pokerus disappears after about 24 hours, but if you keep the infected pokemon in your pc, it will never go away

to spread it, take out 5 uninfected pokemon and move the infected one to one of the two middle slots
then battle about 4-5 times and it will have spread to the very top and bottom of the party pokemon

i have many pokemon with the pokerus if anyone wants it

 

[jigglyppuff8]

The question was answered, why are we just adding tidbits the asker probably doesn't care about?

Pokerus is much harder to find than shinies (approx 1/21846 chance). Also, Pokerus disappears after midnight, not 24 hours.

How do I get to Battle with in-game trainers I've helped, like Cheryl, Buck, Riley, in the Battle Frontier?

 

[lollypop1997]

I want to start a new game,but i have 2 pokemons that are really important to me.Can i somehow get my two pokemon from my old game to new game?

 

[RHCP]

lollypop1997 - What game is it? If its an older GBA game, like Fire Red, you could Transfer your Pokemon to D/P/P through PalPark, but they'd have to stay there (You can't transfer them back but at least you'd still have them)
Or if you have two GameBoys/DS, and another GBA/DS Pokemon Game, you could trade the Pokemon to your other game, then trade them back when you've started a new game.


Does anyone know if you can get a Moon Stone in the Underground in Platinum?

I have nintenoDS and platinum game.I have on platinum a game but i would like to start a new game on platinum.Is it possible to do it or not?

 

[ultimatediamond]

you'd have to trade the pokemon to another game before restarting otherwise you will lose them
