and...

This Post too

They seem pretty concise, sadly I've never tried chaining, so I can't help more

Froggy's Website has a picture of the best place to continue chaining for Krabby. Beyond that, it's just avoiding patches next to each other, in the same column/row, on the edge of the grassy area or next to any objects.

Is it possible to clone Pokemon on Diamond, and if so, how?

If you're willing to use the GTS glitch, then yep. If you have an AR, there are sites that have the code. Other than that, no.

how much is a "stage" worth?

like when you increase your attack& defense with curse,and lower your speed
how much is each "stage" worth?

 

[shookie]

It's multiplicative. At a neutral state, it's x*(2/2) where x = stat. +1 is x*(3/2), +2 is x*(4/2), etc.; -1 is x*(2/3), -2 is x*(2/4), -3 is x*(2/5), and so on. +6 is the highest one stat can go and -6 is the lowest it can go. This isn't the same for accuracy, evasion or HP.

Houndoom has 279 with an Attack-neutral nature. Howl increases Attack by one stage. It isn't holding any stat-affecting item and doesn't have a stat-affecting ability, so the modifiers remain at 1.

x * (3/2) * 1 * 1 = y
279 * 1.5 * 1 * 1 = 418.5
Stat * stat modifier * ability modifier * item modifier = final stat

Simplier:
stage 6 = 400%
stage 5 = 350%
stage 4 = 300%
stage 3 = 250%
stage 2 = 200%
stage 1 = 150%
stage 0 = 100% (what every pokemon starts with)
stage -1 = 66.67%
stage -2 = 50%
stage -3 = 40%
stage -4 = 33.33%
stage -5 = 28.57%
stage -6 = 25%

q:

Can you breed a Blissey that knows Seismic Toss (import) with a ditto and get a baby that knows S.Toss?

 

[Christopher]

where can I find the Suite Key in Platinum

 

[shookie]

Exit the hotel (like you're going towards the lake) and use your Dowsing Machine. It's hard to describe where exactly it is, there won't be a little dot on your screen, just keep walking by the door and pressing A every step or so.

 

[Human]

Uhh, how do I get Star Pieces to trade for Blue Shards? Or what's the quickest way to get Blue Shards?

 

[shookie]

Digging in the Underground is easiest for both. The only other option is to catch a lot of Staryus until you find a Star Piece on one (it's a 5% chance). After that, in Platinum, you take it to the guy in the middle of Fuego Ironworks for one of each shard.
