    the odds are about 1 in 1,640,000,000 of getting a shiny ralts w/ pokerus

    or course you can add all sorts of varialbles in to make it seem more rare... like level and nature and such...

    the odds of shniy and pokerus togeather are 1 in 65,600,000...thats what i'd be mentioning...

    of course the odds of catching that EXACT pokemon again are closer to 1 in 100,000,000,000

    Erk!

    Holy Guacamole! That rare?! Man, I'll never see a chance like this again. I'd better do really well with Ralts. Anyway, I've named him Hikaru... because he shines so! Lol. I still don't know which moves I wanna teach him... Maybe since he's gonna have such high Sp. Attack I should give him some elementals... like maybe fire blast, ice beam, thunderbolt, etc. Heck, I don't even know how many of those he can learn, but I haven't gotten to that point yet anyway. I haven't even levelled him up yet. >_< I'm still afraid I'm going to mess his stats up.

    Here's a funny question. If I were to sell my cartridge with the shiny ralts in it on eBay, how much do you suppose it would bring? Not that I'd ever sell it now, lol! :P

    Only addicts would actually buy it, and I'm not sure about the Pokemon addict market on eBay. It could go for $5, it could go for $50. It's just chance on eBay.

    if you want a good moveset post a topic in the moveset section

    for now I suggest:

    Psychic
    Calm Mind
    Ice Punch
    Thunder Bolt


    BTW post the stats, the level and nature but, I read that it was modest so, :D

    and I can give you the IV's

    Wow.. you are one lucky person... 1/264000000 chance?! (But then, I think you've run out of luck for 2 years, seeing you defied the odds :P)

    About the PokeRus. Even if the infected Pokemons PokeRus goes off, it will still get the double EV bonus (you can see this with a black dot on the stat screen). But, Pokemon previously effetced by the PokeRus will get immune to it, so it won't be able to catch it a 2nd time (but then, whats the point if it has the double EV bonus?)

    well then id say catching a ralts is odds of 25-1. but finding a blue ralts is 300-1! how about that? to find a ralts early in the game, dont make your pokemon faint. then u have better odds in finding it. if pokemon fainted, odds would be 75-1.

    I think the ice punch can be changed to double team.
