Quick Question and Answer Thread / Breeding Questions

[TwilightBlade]

I'm having trouble with EVs at the moment. I'm kind of new to the whole EV training thing, and I need some help.

You see, I'm training my Rotom, in Platinum, in the defense stat. It is in fact, holding a Power Belt. Now, checking Serebii, training off of some Pelippers would be good, and I did that. I remember one time, it gained a level and received +10 stat points for Defense. Now, I got the Secret Key yesterday, and turned it into the Rotom: Fan Forme. I trained it against 10 Pelippers, gained a level, and probably gained like, 20 EVs(I used the counter app in the Pokétch), and it only gained 3 stat points!

Now here's the question, does Rotom only gain the Defense stat in it's original forme, since the others have some increased stats? Or did I just already answer my question? >>

Thanks in advance for any help~

Jpp8 did a nice job covering the basics of EVs; however, your main question is about Rotom...? Regardless of its current form, Rotom will still count its EV points appropriately.

For example, if you EV trained an Attack Forme Deoxys in Attack and switch it to Defense Forme, its Attack stat will lower but it will still have those EV points earned in the Attack stat.

Ah, OK. Thanks for the help! :3

Cloning Pokemonz

Hi guys.
I've Bought AR. I have create the new code, and i 've followed the procedure on internet and the code i have put it's correct. I have the ITALIAN version of the game. Why doesn't work? Anyone has the same problem?

 

[DARKSHADE]

well if its italian its not going to work....
unless you have the italian version of the code..

 

[master.jimmy]

do u think italian code for cloning can exist? I don't find them :(

 

[Tacogeddon]

unless you have the italian version of the code..

Maybe it's not an Italian code exactly, but if it's an English language AR being used on an Italian game it may not work, kind of like region locking.

 

[Akeraz]

Alright, I need help.
It's been a long time since i've made poffins for any reason at all..
But the main reason for this now is that I want to train a Milotic.
What would berries would you recommend using to raise Feebas' beauty?
I only ask 'cuz I forgot what flavors raise what.

 

[jigglyppuff8]

For high level Beauty Poffins, you'll want to use Pamtre Berries (Dry). Cornn is a good substitute if you don't have enough Pamtre berries.

Question for Japanese Platinum:

I need help using Mcdonald's Wi-Fi to get the Shaymin Event.

My Wi-fi Port died on me a while back, so I have no other choice but to go there to get it. I can't read Japanese, so I can't get onto McDonald's Wi-fi without help.

Is there an easy to print-out guide or something for this (Preferably with pictures to help guide me through it

I already have Mystery Gift, btw, as I obtained the Rotom and Darkrai events when I still had a usable Wi-fi Source

It depends on what kind of security is in place, if any. However, any game will work for setting up Wi-Fi regardless, as actually setting the connection is done with the system and not the game. So, if you managed to set up your Wi-Fi connection before using a game in your language, such as your Pokemon Pearl, then you can do so again, and it will still work with your Japanese Platinum.

Okay. Looks like I'll have to dust off my Pearl and take it with me next time.

Do the hatching effects of Magmar and Macargo stack? Like if you have multiples in the party, will an egg hatch even faster?

Not that I am aware off.
I think it only effects the egg once!

I need to clarify something about the new Platinum Formes

They CAN be used in battle against D/P, just not Wi-Fi.

The people of Smogon discovered this shortly after the game's Japanese release.

I myself have tried all the new formes at least once against my Brother's Diamond.

Basically, they look like the original formes to the person with Diamond or Pearl, but their Abilities, Stats, and Typing are that of their new formes.

Platinum Orb(Forgot its Stupid English name) cannot be Stolen, Tricked, or Knocked Off, similar to the Plates when on Arceus. Gamefreak most likely did this so that Origin Forme could be used in Local Wireless like the 6 other new formes.

The reason why I'm stating this is because I've seen many people that think that they are completely unusable against D/P

 

[randomspot555]

They're unusable on Wi-Fi. Their stats, abilities, etc... revert to the normal form.

In the Union Room, I've heard they're usable, though they'll use the regular sprite. But I can't confirm it and haven't tested it myself.

 

[Dunsparce]

I know that already.

Read the beginning of my post again:

I'm not 100% sure on Union Room, I just do a direct PvP Battle by talking to the lady to the right of where you enter the Union Room.

And they still show thew New Forme Sprites on the copy of Platinum that's battling D/P. I'm not sure about what your Opponent sees when doing Platinum vs Platinum.

 

[Mr. Pokemon]

They can't be used on Wi-Fi? That's pretty stupid. They should just behave the same as the do during a local wireless battle with DP.

 

[Cura]

If you connect Platinum to Platinum, the new formes can be seen.
If you connect Platinum to Diamond/Pearl, the new formes can't be seem.

Although, just to let anyone know, that the formes will not appear because,
certain items are required to change their formes. Like Giratina for example.

Their stats will not change and their moves will not be removed.
So, you understand? I hope I helped clear this the best I could.

Question regarding transfers from FireRed and Emerald to Plat.

If I were to transfer a pokemon that evolves from link trades such as a Machoke or Kadabra from my FireRed or Emerald to Platinum will the pokemon evolve or will they stay as the same form? I am hoping they evolve as this is one of the only ways I can get them without having to go and find someone to trade with. Thanks in advance for the help.

 

[Tinhead Bruce]

Sorry bud, they come as they are. It's not technically considered a trade, so they will not evolve when Pal Parked in.
