About catching Palkia
 
I've been resetting my Pearl, hoping to get a Palkia with good IVs, here's my current catch:

Palkia Lv.47
Quirky

HP: 27-28
A: 29-30
D: 31
SA: 15-17
SD: 14-15
S: 26-27

Should I keep it or reset some more? I'm also hoping I can get a shiny, but I don't know if I'm that lucky.

hmmmmm Im really unsure, I dont think quirky nature is the best for it.

ex_xinyan December 28th, 2008 1:21 AM

I agree, but the IVs are pretty ok. I've had loads of 0s and less-than-10s.. this is the best so far..

Try for a modest or timid palkia, those are good natures for it.

You need to keep going. The IV aren't bad but you won't be hitting its true potential until you have a nature that complements the stats.

So are adamant, jolly, hasty and naive. Palkia can function in numerous roles, it isn't limited to special sweeping and it's completely outclassed as one in ubers anyway.

I did manage to get a timid palkia once, but it's IVs were mostly all below 15. This made all it's stats including speed lower than the current quirky palkia. Is it very difficult to get a shiny palkia? I know the odds are 8192. I got my shiny torchic after about 100+ resets.

Edit: Ok El Gofre, I think I'll try some more thanks :)

hmmm to get shiny palkia it depends on how lucky you are at finding shinies

it only took me 120 SR's to get one
