    Where can I find the HM Strength and Rock Climb?
    Click to expand...


    Hey Pokemoe, HM Strength is found in the Lost Tower on route 209 I think it is (you will need the Gym badge from Canalave City to use it outside of battle), and HM Rock Climb is found on the route you take to get to Snowpoint City, IIRC it's just outside a litte house you come across while wading through the snow. Hope that helped, happy strengthing and rock climbing :D

    This a noob question, but I am a 4th Gen newb after all lol.

    What happens in Diamond/Pearl once I beat the Elite 4 ? Are there more Gyms, side quests etc ?

    Quick question, since I'm new to chaining with the Pokeradar and Trainer Counter.

    Question is, if my Poketch suddenly loses count for no reason, would the chain still be present?

    Coz I chained 47 Starly last night (I was just trying the chain thing,) trying to reach chain 50 before resetting for shinies.

    Then at chain 48, after pwning the wild Starly from Pokeradar, the chain on my Poketch app broke. I know that the Poketch app suddenly "loses count" of your chain.

    I wonder if the chain I had was still present in-game, just not in the Trainer Counter? Or do I have to start over when this happens? D:

    what are EV's & IV's? i no you've answered this question a million times already, but i be very happy if you'd answer it once more for me. i went on bulbapedia, but i couldnt comprehend it the way they were explaining it, so i was hoping someone could "dumb it down" for me.

    Pokemon Platinum Prima guide Q?

    I was wondering, If I get this guide Can I use it for Diamond and Pearl. I never really played any games with IV Pokemon and don't know much about them. I have diamond but not platinum and overall I just want to see the types of moves and when a pokemon evolves and such.

    You should never sell star pieces they should be traded for shards, and the best way to get money is to battle the old cuople next to pokemon mansion they will give 24400 each everytime you beat them with a amulet coin after the heatran stuff

    Effort Values, or EVs are hidden values. When a Pokémon defeats another, a Bidoof defeats a Starly for example, a Starly would give 1 Speed EV on each defeat. So, the Bidoof gains 1 extra speed EV (THIS DOES NOT APPLY IN BATTLE TOWER, LINK OR WI-FI BATTLES! ONLY IN-GAME TRAINER BATTLES AND IN-GAME WILD BATTLES!). Each 10 EVs is one increase in the stat. A Pokémon can have a max of 510 EVs, and a max of 255 (I think) EVs per stat. Pokérus double the amount of EVs gained, same as Macho Brace. Here is a list of EV gains per Pokémon:

    https://www.psypokes.com/dp/evtable.php

    Individual Values or IVs are values determined randomly by the game for each wild Pokémon. IVs for each stat are random from 1 to 31. IVs powers up that power of the stat it is applied to.

    At level 100, it is 4 EV points = +1 increase in stats. So, you can increase a stat by a maximum of 63 points if you put all the possible EV's into it.

    255/4 = 63 R3, but the three in the remainder gets dropped, which is why you'll see many 252/252/6 EV spreads (252 is the highest number less than 255 that is evenly divisible by 4, and the remaining 6 EV points can increase a third stat by one).

    @Aaron40:

    That is hardly enough information to determine the legitimacy of a Pokemon... It could have been hatched as a shiny. Additional details such as OT, ID, IVs, ability, ball caught, ribbons, etc can help.

    I think you can find out your Secret ID from a shiny that you have caught
