    Same thing. Bad Eggs only occur with codes like AdamHays said. Toss it in a box and leave it there to gather dust. If you feel like blowing your game save up, go ahead and hatch it. It's your 30 bucks, not mine.

    No, you can't buy it. You get it from Giovanni after you defeat him in the Viridian City Gym.

    Hall of Fame, 1, 40, 100, 200
    Eggs: 1, 100, 200, 300
    Victories: 1, 20, 40, 100, 200

    I'm not sure if these are the exact amounts.

    when Pokemon evolve, do they level up stronger?

    i used a gameshark to get Umbreon and Espeon at a low level. and then trained them up normally. but will they be stronger if i breed eevee's over and over again and then just let them evolve naturally?

    No - it's all IV and EV work, so anything like that is determined by genetics, and by the Pokemon you battle. All evolution does, is change the Base Stat in the formula - that's why the stats grow (or shrink in terms of Salamence's defense, and Shedinja's HP).

    This is always a topic of debate. The misconception is, if you evolve straight away, your Pokemon will have higher stats. While this is usually the case, the illusion becomes that the earlier you evolve, the higher stats you will gain.

    Since Pokemon stats are all based on a fixed number for each evolution, the only variation between the same Pokemon's stats are from IVs and EVs and natures.

    For example, let's take your Umbreon. Umbreon has the following base stats:
    HP Base 95
    Attack Base 65
    Defence Base 110
    Speed Base 65
    Special Attack Base 60
    Special Defence Base 130

    Alright, let's assume you have two different Eevee, which evolve into Umbreon. One evolves at L30, while another one evolves at L60. Both of which have the same nature, EV and IV distribution. At L100 (or any level), both Umbreons will have exactly the same stats. This is because they are all based around the same base stats.

    In conclusion, it doesn't matter when you evolve, because the stats for one Pokemon will always be roughly the same, the only differences being where you put EVs, and their IVs and nature.

    If your team will remain in-game, then no. It's perfectly fine, and is an easy-ish way to train your team up to Level 100 or whatever. However, if your team may be used in competitive battling, then firstly, you should EV train. Once you've done that though, you'll be able to battle any Pokemon you like and not screw up the EVs - including the Elite 4 ^_^

    Yeah, any EV training should be done first, because it's based on the first 510 points you get. Any after that point are not added. This is when Rare Candy becomes useful, because especially in the case of newly hatched Pokemon, which are born at L5, they won't be able to fight and earn their EVs easily. Of course, you can always just start off and switch, if you're out of Rare Candy, but RC makes the process easier

    alright cool, thanks guys. i've never known about ev's and iv's before coming here. but it seems to make a huge difference.

    and i think i read somewhere in another thread, that if you breed enough it does something to the ev where it won't badly effect the training?

    i'm still kind of confused =/

    Well, if you breed, the baby Pokemon starts with 0 EVs, so that way you won't have an EV split that's all over the place, and you'll know where they are (if you've been keeping track), so it makes it easier to plan out your EV training

    I got my Hitmonlee from the gym, but then i put it in breeding with my ditto. Now i have 2 tyrouges, which i want to be a hitmontop and a hitmonchan. The problem is, they have 11 attack and 16 defense at level 11. Can you help me?

    Demonchoas, if it knows Toxic i suppose it doesnt need to know Sleep Powder.

    But, if u take out my bellosom, these are the four types im missing from my team. Grass, Poison, Bug, Fighting. My team right now is

    Charizard
    Steelix
    Gengar
    Dragonite
    Laparas

    For the six pokemon, i still dont know. I was thinkin bellosom, but are you sure she doesnt need any grass attacks?
