How do you rebattle your rival? I couldn't find it.

nm legend September 7th, 2010 8:11 AM

i know this is a stupid question but....the lady in blackthorn city only gives the effort ribbon if the pokeman completed its ev training right? just need to make sure..thanks VM ME the answer if anythin

Amore September 7th, 2010 8:23 AM

Lol.

You can battle your rival on Mondays and Wednesdays. Just go insido the Indigo Plateau, walk straight forward until he challenges you. But don't go into the league, yet, you'll lose.

The lv.70+ pokemon are about right....the others need raising. Especially Sneasel, because Lance's Garchomp is a beast.

As for Flare Blitz, the following families will work:

Rapidash (ignore Astinus, according to Bulbapedia, he's wrong).
Arcanine
Ninetales
Charizard
Blaziken
Infernape

Note the 1st stages of the latter two won't work, but every other family member of the above pokemon works...and Typhlosion, if you found one already :P

ltsang September 7th, 2010 12:33 PM

Hi. I just recieve some phone call from clair. Then she told me to go to the dragon's tamer. Where is this dragon's tamer. Let me know. Thanks.

Amore September 7th, 2010 12:39 PM

Don't think I understand, but here's all the messages she can say...

Spoiler:



Calling you:
"Yes, it’s Clair here... Oh, hi. How are you doing? Lately there seems to be some gossip running through town that I am the latest name in fashion. Well, if I’m that cool that people can’t stop talking about me, I can totally understand that sentiment."
Calling her:
"Nice to hear from you. How is everything with you? I'm good. What's your point? If you want to battle me again, fine. Friday nights, take it or leave it. Call me then... Maybe I'll answer..."
On Friday nights:
"Nice to hear from you. How is everything with you? I'm good. Well, well, you called at the right time! You want to battle again? I'm up for it."
No: "What in the world? Are you trying to make fun of me?!"
Yes: "Ha ha ha. It's great that you're stepping up. I'll be waiting for you at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City!"
"Yes, it’s Clair here... Oh, hi. How are you doing? Keep in mind we’re meeting at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City. It’s a promise I’m waiting to keep..."
"Nice to hear from you. How is everything with you? I'm good. I’m waiting for you at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City... Don’t wuss out."



If you called her, and your date's set to Friday, then go to Saffron Fighting Dojo...hope I helped!

When the professor oaks says there is a swarn of a certain pokemon what time of day does he announce it. Every time I go to the radio in my option menu he says a lot of junk stuff.

Question regarding Arceus's abilility.
 
So Arceus's ability is Multi Type, as many of you know, which allows it to become any type depending what plate it is holding.

My question is what if another Pokémon was hacked with Multi Type?

Would it be able to change types depending on the plate just like Arceus?

I would test it out for myself but my AR broke..

No actually it won't work.

It's hardcoded to only work for Arceus.

I've tested it myself a while back with a Multi Type Sceptile that was holding a Draco Plate.

I battled a Garchomp and it used Dragon Rush on my Sceptile but it did not say that it was Super Effective.

Hence, it's Type did not change.

WildBolt September 8th, 2010 6:54 PM

Ok so which one of you is right?

Because I really want to have a Dragon-type Aerodactyl :D

zapdosa September 8th, 2010 7:03 PM

I am because like I said I tested it myself and it did not work.

The creators probably knew before hand that this might be abused which is why they hardcoded it for Arceus only.

bobandbill September 8th, 2010 7:39 PM

It's not really a HGSS question (especially as it partly has to do with the AR), but eh, I'll merge with the Help thread anyways. Maybe check bulba as well on the ability? (I wonder if one could actually test without hacking via the move Role Play?)

Amore September 9th, 2010 8:57 AM

Multitype can't be copied by Role Play, Skill Swap or Trace.

Gastro Acid and Mold Breaker don't work either. So, Multitype is sort of...immune to all ability-effecting things.

The only way to increase beauty in HeartGold and SoulSilver is by letting Daisy massage your Feebas. Once its beauty is maxed out (unfortunately, there is no real way to tell), just simply level it up and it'll evolve into Milotic.

That's me lol. If you're on DPPt, easiest way are Poffins (But idk whether the bold feebas i traded you likes dry poffins) if you're on HGSS, the only way is to talk to Daisy every day between 3pm to 4pm for 8 days. See here http://serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/daisyoak.shtml

Anyone able to PM me a link for a pokemon type chart. I know the majority, but can't remember all of Steel and Dark type strengths and weaknesses?

Rather than PM, I'll give it straight: Dark is weak to Bug and Fighting; Steel is weak to Fire, Fighting and Ground. Dark is strong against Ghost and Psychic; Steel is strong against Ice and Rock.

Cheers for that, I knew Steel was weak against Fire and Psychic doesn't affect Dark, but couldn't remember the rest.

And here's a type-chart anyways. =p http://www.serebii.net/games/type.shtml It does include the double-typings Pokemon currently have as well (but not 5th gen yet =p).

ltsang September 10th, 2010 8:59 AM

Ok. Few minutes ago I was battling sabrina. Her alakazam took me out in one hit. I was using my houndoom at level 74. Why is that? I know that fighting type move is strong against dark pokemon. But my houndoom is half dark and fire. So I taught it crunch, dark pulse, shadowball and flamethrower. Let me know. Thanks. My pokemon is not ev train.

#Emochu September 10th, 2010 9:19 AM

I've got 2 questions please.

1. I really need a Thick Club and I've been catching billions of cubones and marowak's at the Rock Tunnel, Bulbapedia and other sites say that in HGSS wild cubone/marowak howld a thick club for 5%. I'm also trying to gets 20000 watts on my Pokewalker to get Scary Cave.

2. Sorry if this has already been asked but what is the best place to get my pokemon from Lv. 50 to 60? I tried Mt. Silver but it takes aaages.

Thank you so much

Sorry, I'm missing the question here...but yeah, they're incredibly rare...you would be better off giving a pokemon the tm Thief, making sure it doesn't have an item, and using Thief, then running away, rather than catching them all...it's a lot cheaper.

Mount Silver is the best spot for wild pokemon....however, seeing as you have 16 badges...Gym Leader Rematches, particularly Kanto ones.

For example, I trained an Arcanine from lv.50-70 against Bugsy and Erika, whilst also raising a Sharpedo from lv.50-70 against Blaine.

1.- Use Thief and a Butterfree in the lead because Compoundeyes raise the probability of find items in wild pokemons.
2.- Rematches with Gym Leaders, E4 and some trainers. Also a Lucky Egg always help. ;)

I recently plant some orange berries in the pot and they have not yet grown. Why?

Astinus September 11th, 2010 11:41 AM

How long ago did you plant them? Oran Berries (those are the ones you planted, right?) take sixteen hours to grow to a tree, with four hours for each stage.

So figure out when you planted them, and work from there.

lol I don't know when I plant. I plant them sometime last month.

Amore September 11th, 2010 1:27 PM

Oh. You must be going on your DS at the time when they've shed their berries and reverted to a seed again. So, if they haven't even sprouted yet, you just need to go on your DS about 2-5 hours earlier, and you should see a full-grown plant with berries ready to pick.

Hope that makes sense, and helps you

you mean oran berries? it's oran not orange.

if the berry grows into a berry plant and you don't collect the berries within a set time limit, the plant will go back to a berry and the growing stage starts over. but I think after too many times of the plant regrowing it just dies and doesn't grow back (not totally sure, but on diamond I was using my berry app for my poketch and the plants I had in places that I never went back to disappeared after a while and didn't come back). so if as you said you planted a month ago, the times you had gone back to check on the berries might have happened to be the times where it reverted back to berry. in other words, you took too long to collect the berries. and the berries might have died completely by now...

now I bet the plant has regrown so many times that it just died. not too sure about that, though. is there a berry in the soil? if yes then it didn't die. if no then I'm right about it having been regrown too many times

I'm about to give up on connecting my ds to my wii message thing for the gts trades... no one will help me. if someone wants to help a guy please pm me or reply to this post...

ltsang September 12th, 2010 6:29 AM

Today I decided that I want fight in the battle tower with my level 80 pokemon. I got creamed. I entered dragonite, amaphrose, and houndoom. That bug that the fat guy use on me killed 3 of my pokes. So I was wondering if they're pokemon are ev'ed trained and what level are they do you know? The tower I was in was never loose! keep wining. The one with the shining glass floor. I need help. Thanks.

jkriall September 12th, 2010 6:39 AM

I dont think they are ev trained, but why are you using ampharos? theres way better choices for battle tower.

Ampharos is my only electric pokemon for now. I haven't had time to train another team yet. I'm still working on my first team.

Gavrillo_AK September 12th, 2010 12:44 PM

OK after finally someone actually helping me and pointing me to the right section, I have found where this belongs.

I have been considering a team for HG and after much process of elimination I have kind of decided a team, but I would like to hear of any flaws from you people. (I apologise if this isn't in the correct place, I'm new here).

Meganium
Umbreon/Espeon (I don't mind which, I won't force it to evolve into any form, either will do).
Starmie/Lapras I'm not sure which to have, Starmie is part psychic and has really high sp. atk, but Lapras is a tank.
Ampharos
Fearow
Arcanine.

Could anyone suggest maybe a better flying type? I've never really liked playing with Fearow, but his statistics seem quite good.

I would love to hear any more suggestions. :3

Hmm, I'm considering now including a Heracross. Opinions? Also, I'd really like a Houndoom, I've never used it, but I'm not sure if I can find it fairly early on.

All things considered, it's a very fine team. If you do decide to go with Houndoom (although I prefer Arcanine), I'd replace Arcanine and make sure Eevee evolves into Espeon (though Espeon is a better choice in-game over Umbreon, period). Heracross could potentially replace Ampharos or Espeon/Umbreon, although they're all great Pokemon.

There are tons of better Flying-types than Fearow, including Crobat, Dragonite, Togekiss, Yanmega, Honchkrow, Skarmory, and Gliscor (although Gliscor can't learn Fly).

I've used both, and personally, I find Starmie much more useful than Lapras, although they're both great. However, if you do decide to use Starmie, teaching it Ice Beam through PM should be a priority.

ltsang September 12th, 2010 4:33 PM

I just recieved a pokemon with a meaning of pkrs in white and purple letters. So what does that mean? Pokerust. That's what I been hearing that people are trying to get. The pokemon I got is a female licklicy.

Does anyone know how to solve the puzzle for the ho oh in the ruins of alpha? I've tried but I couldn't figure out the pieces. Any guide for it. Let me know thanks. I really want to catch the rest of the unkowns.

meganium: my least favorite starter evolution lol but ok it's fine.

umbreon/espeon: espeon is better than umbreon in general. umbreon has lower attack and better defense, but isn't really a defensive pokemon because it's not that much higher. plus with the lower attacks, and the fact that it doesn't learn any good dark moves really (STAB) make it pretty weak.
>> espeon however has high sp atk and speed so you'll be able to attack quickly and strongly enough for the lower defenses not to be any problem (ie making the opposing pokemon faint before it ever gets to attack you).
so I'd say espeon

starmie/lapras: well you already have a sp. attacking psychic type on your team (espeon) so it's kind of a waste to put it in. if you put lapras in, you'll gain an ice type to your team and, like you said, it's a tank so you'll gain that too. good for switching in during battle and such when you need to switch and don't want the one you're switching to to be instantly killed. you can base your movesets for your team accordingly. so I'd say lapras

ampharos: sure why not.

fearow: that's a tough flying type. it's very fast, and has very good attack, which, as said above, makes a very good combination, but dodrio seems to be better. even better attack, and slightly better defense, too. I'd say go with dodrio instead of fearow.

arcanine: well houndoom is good too. they're both good pokemon. arcanine has slightly better stats, like defenses and...well that pretty much it, but houndoom has the advantage of being dark-typed. that makes it immune to psychic, but also weak against fighting. well, arcanine is generally more powerful but houndoom just as good if you want to get it. but houndour is on route 7 (kanto)... there's always trade though!



for heracross: it's mainly fighting, so having one on your team would be good against normal, rock, steel, ice, and dark. arcanine covers ice and steel, and lapras/maganium covers rock. but normal and dark you have nothing super effective against.

- you can take out maganium. the types that grass is super-effective against are covered by other types on your team. so it really has no advantage besides being your starter who you love. note that meganium has high defenses while heracross has really high attack power. choose which one you want for your battle style.

- you can't take out espeon. too many type advantages lost if you did

- same with lapras

- you could take out ampharos. flying is covered by lapras and water would be covered by meganium. those are the two types electric is supereffective against. this would be better than meganium...

- if you took out houndoom/arcanine that would mean...well, nothing. everything is covered. but fire is good and these pokemon are powerful...

- flying...supereffective against fighting, grass, and bug. these are covered already. flying isn't really that good so this might be the one to take...

well, of the above, the best ones to take out for heracross would be ampharos or dodrio. dodrio has good atk and speed (good combo!) but ampharos has a better (sp)attack power (though bad speed...), better defenses, and better hp. also lapras is better with water than ice so if you were to take ampharos away you'd be losing strength anainst flying-types. I'd say take away dodrio.









FINAL TEAM:
- meganium
- espeon
- lapras
- ampharos
- heracross
- arcanine (or houndoom if you're willing to trade or wait till route 7 (kanto))

Sydian September 12th, 2010 4:41 PM

I'd like to argue that statement about Umbreon. I have one on level 52 that withstood attacks from a level 75 Lugia. So it's not a bad defensive Pokemon, if you'd like to have one on your team, that is. Most people don't seem to like having a defensive Pokemon for just in-game playthroughs, though. Just thought I'd say something to give poor Umbreon some justice.

it's not pokerust, it's pokerus. like virus.

it's a rare disease that pokemon get. but it's not bad. it's actually very good. it doubles evs. so in other words, you only need to battle two geodudes (+1 def ev) to gain a point in defense, instead of four. pokerus makes ev training MUCH easier. you can get it with a 3/65,536 chance (1/3 the chance of getting a shiny), so it's VERY rare and VERY valuable. providing you didn't cheat to get it of course

when a pokemon in your party has pokerus, all of the other pokemon in your party will get it too after a short time (battle and stuff. after like 3 battles they'll all have it).

NOTE! at midnight, each pokemon in your party that has pokerus will heal. it will lose the pkrs letters, and will show a smily face on the infected pokemon's summary. the pokerus will no longer be spreadable from that pokemon. --but-- the pokemon will still get double evs.

to prevent losing pokerus, put at least one pokemon with pokerus in your pc. when midnight comes, pokemon in your pc that have pokerus will keep it. it only goes away for your party members. put simply: pokemon in the pc don't lose the pokerus (but also can't spread from the pc. you have to put it back in your party to spread the pokerus). so infect a random pokemon (just catch a random ratata or pidgey off the street) with pokerus and keep it in your pc always, and only take it out for spreading purposes. you might want to keep a few of these spreaders just in case you accidentally leave the spreader in your party at midnight. trust me it happens.

Hey all, I just recently got my game HG version. And I was wondering, is there a place where you can remember moves? Like in platinum for exchange of a heart scale. I need to teach my togekiss some moves, but I don't know how. Please and thank you!!

yes, there is. he's in blackthorn city, in a house left of the pokemon center and mart. the move deleter is there, the move tutor (you need heart scales in this game too. I know you can get them as pokeathlon prizes, don't know where else), and two other tutors. one teaches dragons draco meteor if they have full happiness, and the other teaches fully evolved starters their signature moves (frenzy plant, blast burn, etc I think) if they have full happiness.

There's a Youtube video on the Ruins of Alph that I didn't make (so I'm NOT just advertising the video) found here. If you go to 7:45 into the video, you'll be right in time for the Ho-Oh puzzle. It's the only way to actually guide you through the puzzle aside from "Spin those pieces around and hope for the best."

Because really, that's all one could say on it without a video or a really long walkthrough.

Heart Scales can be found by Rock Smashing in these locations: Cianwood City, Dark Cave, Route 19, Rock Tunnel, Vermilion City, Victory Road, Tohjo Falls. It can also be found with the ability PickUp and on the PokeWalker course Beautiful Beach.

So, I'm about to get my 4th badge in HG - and all my Pokemon are above level 30. I've only got 4 pokemon in my party thus far: Slowpoke (Water/Psychic), Slugma (Fire), Ampharos (Electric), Bayleef (Grass)

I was wondering what would be a good pokemon that will know the move FLY to put in my party?

Well, i always have a rough time picking a flying poke, almost all the times i stick with Dragonite but i can recommend you Honchkrow or Pidgeot.

EDIT: or you could try Togekiss =D

Looks like you've read my mind :shocked: I am indeed planning on getting a Dratini from that cave. But then I realised that it will take a while before it gets to Dragonite :\

I've got a Grass Type, Water Type, Psychic Type, Grass Type, Electric and will have Dragon Type. Just need a dark type

In terms of immediate availability, choices are kinda low. You can get a Murkrow from the pokewalker, and then trade for a Dusk stone (or do the Bug Catching Contest after national dex) to evolve it into Honchkrow. Of you can catch the spearow/pidgey family at this point in the game, but they aren't really strong endgame contenders. But its good for now to faster traveling with Fly. Between the two, for the levels you're probably dealing with at that point (around 25-30ish), Fearow sticks out as the better choice...its got better speed and attack than Pigeotto, and learns Aerial Ace by then too, and can help against Chuck (as a back up for Slowpoke).
If you are willing to train and raise happiness for a pokemon, then you can add Crobat to the list, which I personally would pick over fearow/pidgeot any day.

Further in the game, the legendary birds are always an option, as is Dragonite, and the other birds (including the Hoenn and Sinnoh based ones once the national dex is obtained).

I've got a Grass Type, Water Type, Psychic Type, Grass Type, Electric and will have Dragon Type. Just need a dark type

Umbreon or sneasel shoul be a great Dark pokemon, i'll probably vote for Tyranitar but since you want a Dragonite, is almost imposible have a full tyranitar because raise levels is so hard =S

When can I start trading downstairs in the PokeCenter? Everywhere I read, it says as soon as I have the Pokedex - well, I have that but it's still unaccessible. Do I need to defeat Falkner?

A question regarding Pokewalkers.
I just got a SoulSilver copy. However, I have no need for the Pokewalker included, so I wanted to link it up with my HeartGold.
This is where the problem comes : my HeartGold already has a Pokewalker registered.
So... how do I link with HeartGold ? :/

to use the trade downstairs you need the 1st badge, to use the trade upstairs in the union room for local trading you only need the pokeex

umbreon/espeon: espeon is better than umbreon in general. umbreon has lower attack and better defense, but isn't really a defensive pokemon because it's not that much higher. plus with the lower attacks, and the fact that it doesn't learn any good dark moves really (STAB) make it pretty weak.
>> espeon however has high sp atk and speed so you'll be able to attack quickly and strongly enough for the lower defenses not to be any problem (ie making the opposing pokemon faint before it ever gets to attack you).
so I'd say espeon

starmie/lapras: well you already have a sp. attacking psychic type on your team (espeon) so it's kind of a waste to put it in. if you put lapras in, you'll gain an ice type to your team and, like you said, it's a tank so you'll gain that too. good for switching in during battle and such when you need to switch and don't want the one you're switching to to be instantly killed. you can base your movesets for your team accordingly. so I'd say lapras

ampharos: sure why not.

fearow: that's a tough flying type. it's very fast, and has very good attack, which, as said above, makes a very good combination, but dodrio seems to be better. even better attack, and slightly better defense, too. I'd say go with dodrio instead of fearow.

arcanine: well houndoom is good too. they're both good pokemon. arcanine has slightly better stats, like defenses and...well that pretty much it, but houndoom has the advantage of being dark-typed. that makes it immune to psychic, but also weak against fighting. well, arcanine is generally more powerful but houndoom just as good if you want to get it. but houndour is on route 7 (kanto)... there's always trade though!



for heracross: it's mainly fighting, so having one on your team would be good against normal, rock, steel, ice, and dark. arcanine covers ice and steel, and lapras/maganium covers rock. but normal and dark you have nothing super effective against.

- you can take out maganium. the types that grass is super-effective against are covered by other types on your team. so it really has no advantage besides being your starter who you love. note that meganium has high defenses while heracross has really high attack power. choose which one you want for your battle style.

- you can't take out espeon. too many type advantages lost if you did

- same with lapras

- you could take out ampharos. flying is covered by lapras and water would be covered by meganium. those are the two types electric is supereffective against. this would be better than meganium...

- if you took out houndoom/arcanine that would mean...well, nothing. everything is covered. but fire is good and these pokemon are powerful...

- flying...supereffective against fighting, grass, and bug. these are covered already. flying isn't really that good so this might be the one to take...

well, of the above, the best ones to take out for heracross would be ampharos or dodrio. dodrio has good atk and speed (good combo!) but ampharos has a better (sp)attack power (though bad speed...), better defenses, and better hp. also lapras is better with water than ice so if you were to take ampharos away you'd be losing strength anainst flying-types. I'd say take away dodrio.









FINAL TEAM:
- meganium
- espeon
- lapras
- ampharos
- heracross
- arcanine (or houndoom if you're willing to trade or wait till route 7 (kanto))

Wow thanks for your great response.

I've decided to edit my teams a bit, the following is my team, their nicknames, and where to first get them.

Typhlosion - Chilli
Espeon - Marmaduke - Goldenrod City
Lapras - Laplace - Union Cave FRIDAY
Ampharos - Tesla - Just below Violet City.
Fearow - Bravebird - Before/after Union Cave.
Heracross - Alphonse - Headbutt trees.

4 Questions
 
As stated in the title, I have 4 questions. Quizzical you might say, But hey, It's 3 legitimate requests. Ok!
1) Where do I find a great water Pokemon to beat Brock in Pewter City?
2) How do I stop my Oh - So - Cute Psyduck to stop trying to evolve? He is already holding something, And I am tired of every level he gets, He evolves and I gotta press ''B''.
3) What is a good strategy to beat Brock?
4) Will you please rate my CURRENT Pokemon Team?
~Level 50 Snorlax
~Level 70 Typhlosion
~Level 30 Red Gyrados
~Level 22 Furret <-- (He is my Field Hogger)
~Level 45 Miltank
~Level 22 Zubat <-- For ''Fly''
Also and if possible, Please name a high level flying pokemon other than Ho - Oh that can use ''Fly''? Thanks SO MUCH in advance!
~Randall
(Field Hogger - A Pokemon that is most used for Field Moves and rarely for battle.

blue_wo1f September 13th, 2010 3:03 PM

1. Gyarados is really quite good already, you'd just have to level him up. Lapras is another good one & can be caught in Union Cave on Fridays.

2. It won't stop trying to evolve unless you give it an everstone. That's the only way to make it not try to evolve until it hits lv.100. :/

3. Lol, I'm not much help here. I just nailed him with water/grass/fighting attacks until I beat him. My party were all lv.50-55, I think.

4. Okay, you definitely need a better flying type. Either train the Zubat (because it's about to evolve and Crobat is pretty awesome), or pick a different bird. There aren't really any places to catch naturally high level ones in this game, unless you manage it in the safari zone. At best, you can get a Fearow/Pidgeotto in high 20s down near Fuchsia, or a Skarmory around lv30 south of Blackthorn. Either way you're going to have to train.
As for the rest of your party, Gyarados and Typhlosion are both really good. Now, Snorlax and Miltank are both high defense normal-types, so I'd get rid of one or the other and use something else, like a psychic or electric. I understand why you have Furret in there, but it's really not good. But if you can't afford to swap it out, then I'd suggest at least training up the other 5 you pick to cover for it. :] Your party's not that bad potentially, you just need to train them all up a bit.

LonelyNation September 13th, 2010 3:46 PM

alright. just want to note my mistake lol - in my advice I replaced fearow for heracross because heracross was better but forgot you needed a flyer heh... sorry for that :D

the team you have there is good. I want to point out another mistake I made :nervous: though - when I was giving you advice for flyers, I totally forgot about the good ones. crobat and dragonite are much better (and my favorite flying types which makes me again wonder how I'd forget lol). dragonite's hard to get, but crobat's really easy as long as you've got some happiness berries (kelpsy, grepa, hondew, grepa, or tamato). as long as you've got 1 you can use the berry planter to make more. level zubat to 22 and level once more with enough happiness to get crobat. I'd seriously advise replacing crobat for fearow

[if you want to know: crobat has just as good attack, a lot better speed, and a lot better defenses. much better! :)]

In the route just before Olivine, you have to feed the sick Miltank 8 Oran Berries. After that, one of the little girls next to the Miltank will give you the Seal Case.

Fire and Flying are already convered by Arcanine and Dragonite, so I would replace Ho-Oh with another Pokemon, preferably an Electric (Ampharos, Raichu), Ground (Donphan, Nidoking, Rhyperior, Mamoswine), or Rock-type (Tyranitar, Rhyperior). It's already a fantastic team, though.

You have to heal the sick Miltank on the farm on Route 39. One of the little girls will then give it to you.

Rental Pokemon? Are you referring to the Battle Factory? If so, yes, the Battle Factory can be very difficult, and it's definitely not the most ideal place to rack up BP. The best place in my opinion would be the Arcade, as it's arguably the easiest facility to defeat.

Giving an Evertstone to the female pokemon or a Ditto raises the chances of the baby inheriting the female's nature to 50%.

You can also RNG for nature.

You got some good coverage there, but half your team is weak to rock. Dragonite and Arcanine are 2x weak (and thus Stealth Rock will take 25% off with a switch in), and Ho-oh is 4x weak (and thus looses 50% health on the switch). However, since you have ubers, I'm assuming this is for in-game purposes, so Stealth Rock doesn't come into play, since no trainer uses it (at least in my experience). But the fact remains that Stone Edge and the like could give your team a decent amount of trouble. As someone else already said, replacing Ho-oh is not a bad idea, and adding a ground type or a fighting type would help in terms of being able to hit more pokemon strongly (fighting in particular gives you super effective hits on normal and dark types). With a fighting type, and looking at the other pokemon you have, you would be able to hit all types supereffectively except ghost, psychic, flying, and electric, while with a ground type you can hit everything except for ghost, flying, psychic, dark, and normal supereffectively. An advantage to ground, though, is the crucial electric immunity needed by your team, as right now only Venasuar resists it, and Feraligatr and Ho-oh are weak to it.

Last night I decided to go to the dark cave to search for heart scale and a dunsparce. I was suprise by the dunsparace too. Instead of heart scale I find a max either in the rumble. I was hoping for a heart scale. I search the whole area in the dark cave and I couldn't find any. Does anyone know a good place to look? Also I want to know where to check the iv's that the pokemon has in my party Let me know thanks. One more thing. I've tried taking a leftover from red's snorlax and it doesn't work. Why? I need a leftover so thats why I decide to take his. I could also take the e4, but its too much work.

You should check out Serebii's page on HG/SS's Safari Zone. It's different to how Safari Zones have worked before, depending on which pokemon you want to come across.

Lapras apparently needs at least 10 Water objects placed in the rocky beach area to make an appearance.

Rhyhorn on the other hand can simply be found in the Savannah area. Only in daylight though. Just keep looking.

You must just be missing it. I'm sure there is a map function in the Safari zone that shows the different areas. Use it and find your bearings, then head to the Savannah bit.

Hi I'm trying to get my elekid to learn ice punch and crosschop. So I was wondering if I get a female machop that knows ice punch and crosschop. Will my elekid learn it too. If so what are options on the gender. Is it going to be either a male or female. Let me know. Thanks.

Actually, for your future Elekid to know Ice Punch and Cross Chop, you would need a male from the Machop evolutionary line who knows both, and a female Electabuzz/Electivire.

I don't get what do you want to say by "options on the gender", and yes, obviously, it is going to be either male or female, as there isn't another possibility for an Elekid to be.

Hope this help (actually, the first paragraph would suffice).


/EDIT:

And I just meganinja'ed someone. Lol =P

Astinus September 14th, 2010 7:10 PM

LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN!

To get a baby Elekid, you'll need to breed a female Electrabuzz/Electrive to a male Machop/choke/champ. The baby Pokemon is the species of the mother in pairings such as this.

That, and I believe that baby Pokemon learn Egg moves from their father, so you'll need a male Machop/choke/champ with the two moves that you want to pass on to the Elekid.

So just change the genders of the two Pokemon, and that should work.

If you're asking what the resulting gender of the baby will be, Elekid are 75% male, 25% female.

ltsang September 15th, 2010 4:07 AM

male pokemon can breed male pokemon.

??? Do you mean can two males make an egg the answer is no thats pretty basic right there
if you mean can a Male make a Male baby then well yeah if I understood you wrong I'm sorry

Also if you are talking about your Elekid it has a 75% male 25% female ratio if that is what your talking about ???


Edit: Leftovers can be obtained Via Pickup Levels 81-100 pretty rare though

the only way you can make a bred pokemon have a certain nature is by getting a pokemon with the nature you want, making it hold an everstone, and breeding it with another compatible pokemon. and that only works to 50%. (neither pokemon can be traded from different countries).

--------------------

so in other words, get a female [beldum, metang, or metagross] and a father, and make sure one of them had the adament nature and neither is traded from a foreign country. also make sure the parent with the adamant nature is holding an everstone. breed in the daycare, and the baby will have 50% chance of having an adament nature. keep breeding till you get a baby with an adamant nature if you don't get it the first time

alternately, the [beldum, metang, or metagross] can be either gender, and the other parent a ditto. either parent has to have an adamant nature. neither parent can be from a foreign country. the pokemon with the adamant nature has to hold an everstone. breed at the daycare, and the baby has a 50& chance of having an adamant nature. keep trying till you get one if the first one doesn't

alternately the [b, m, or m] can be female, and the other parent any compatible father. or, the [b, m, or m] can be male if the father is a ditto. either or both parents can be from foreign countries. breed at the daycare and the nature of the baby will be completely random. keep breeding until you get a baby with an adamant nature if you don't get one the first time



EDIT: sorry, as astinus below me said, the beldum line is genderless. so:

you NEED a [beldum, metang, or metagross], and a ditto.

if: one of them has an adament nature, that same pokemon is holding an everstone, and neither pokemon are traded from foreign countries, breed in the daycare and the baby beldum has a 50% chance of having an adament nature. if it doesn't, keep breeding and one will come very soon.

if: neither has an everstone, breed them and the baby will have a random gender. you'll have to keep breeding until one has an adamant nature. this could take any amount of time

----------------------------------------------------

hope that helps 8D

Two ways to answer this, because I think you accidentally a word:

Male Pokemon can breed, but only with a Ditto if you want the egg to hatch as the same species of the father. Some Pokemon are male-only, so they need Ditto in order to create eggs. Same with genderless Pokemon, you'll need a Ditto in order to create an egg.

Unless the baby isn't one of the male-only Pokemon species, the baby will follow the gender ratios of its species. For instance, the ratio for Elekid leans for the Pokemon to be male more than female. Each Pokemon species has a gender ratio.

But the breeding rules is that in a male/female Pokemon pairing, the resulting egg will be the lowest stage of evolution in the mother's species (and yes, I'm aware of the Incenses, but we'll keep things simple right now). So when you were asking for an Elekid that knew moves from a Machop, the way you originally had the pairing would have resulted in a Machop. But switching the genders around of the parent Pokemon would get you an Elekid.

FFFFFFFFFFFFF I'M ALWAYS NINJA'D

Quote:

female [beldum, metang, or metagross]
Isn't the Beldum line genderless, and so you can't get a female one? I've checked three sites, and they've all said genderless. So ltsang needs to breed with Ditto because that's the only way the Beldum line can breed, right?

ltsang September 15th, 2010 1:54 PM

lol yes the beldum is genderless. I was meant for the nature. Also I know that the gym leaders is hold an items, but what is it. Where can I find online that each gym leaders has an item hold in it. I know saw it before, but I forgot to save it. Thanks.

I'm not a great breeder. heheh sorry.

its happiness has to be maxed and 4 levels are not enough put it in the front of your party with a soothe bell and switch it out when you battle don't let it faint it just takes time is all.

I went to route 38 to try to catch a burmy, The weird green looking pokemon that look almost look like small Christmas tree that you put on the table. Is he in the bushes or the grass. It took me a while and I still can't find one. The pokedex says it is in route 38. Let me know. Thanks. I'm trying to completing my pokedex instead of battling the same pokemon over and over again.

Also the serebii says head butt a special tree. Where is the special tree?

burmy's tree is locted on a cliff in route 38. after you climb the cliff go east. there, you'll find burmy's tree.
oh, and you need rock climb to go to burmy's tree!!

I'm not a great breeder. heheh sorry.

you have to max out its happiness.

the easiest way to max out happiness is by finding a happiness raising berry (i.e. pomeg or kelpsy or one of the other three) and planting it. make sure to water it a lot and then collect the berries when it's ready, replant and get more berries, etc until you have about a bunch of berries, about 50 if you haven't worked with the pokemon on happiness at all. pichu will probably need about 30.
>> this can take a while to get enough berries. unless you get one of those fertilizers from the berry master left of hearthrome (sinnoh) or next to the goldenrod gym (johto). one of the fertilizers speeds up berry growth I think

once you have enough berries, feed them to pichu until it won't take anymore, that's how you know the happiness is maxed out. don't worry about over feeding it because you can't. when the happiness has been maxed out it will say "It won't have any effect" and the berry won't be used.

another note: each of the 5 happiness berries lowers a stat. but not lower like you're probably thinking; the actual stat doesn't get lowered, just an ev of the stat. so if your pichu has two attack evs and you use a pomeg berry twice, those two evs will go away. but from there, it will just say "The attack stat can't go lower".
>> a good idea would be to use the berries when the pichu has recently leveled up, so you won't lose any of the evs you have built up <<

as a side note, this actually makes these berries very useful for ev training. if you accidentally get the wrong ev from killing an enemy pokemon of say the atk stat, when you need sp atk evs, and you can't get any atk ones, the pomeg berry will delete this ev. and make the pokemon happier :)

I use this method a lot for pokemon that evolve by happiness. it's the best, quickest, easiest way to do it, in my opinion.

happy planting!! :D

How is it possible to get a pokemon infected with a pkrs? Can someone tell me how? I want to do it without hacks please. Thanks.

Just plain luck. You get it by battling wild Pokémon, with the probability being lower than getting a random shiny.

METHOD ONE
what he said. just luck. if you want to get pokerus, the best thing you can do is just start battling tons of wild pokemon. like go left of new bark town (johto) or the path of grass at lake verity (sinnoh) where the pokemon are weak and easily gone through so you can get at quicker, and just devote a few hours to trying to get pokerus. and hope you get it because a few hours probably aren't enough. good luck with that!

METHOD TWO
just play normally and hope to god, pray every night, that a miracle happens and you come across a pokemon with pkrs

METHOD THREE
heh, the first method will be very long, boring, and annoying (unintentional rhyme). the second method is just shy of totally impossible (not completely impossible because once, long ago, it happened to me. I didn't know what happened though because I was young and I lost it). a third method you can try is what I do now: I raise every pokemon I get (I think I've said this before), so, long story short I end up battling A LOT of pokemon. and during that time I usually come across pkrs or shinies (I got pokerus in diamond and found a shiny hoppip in hg...and will soon probably get pokerus there too).

try whichever method you like. or none at all (method 2. or stop playing pokemon!).

I was training my dragonite last night. Is it possible that dragonite has an attack power of 314. That is how much I have it? The level is 98. Is this normal. I started it out with an dragonair. It is caught in the dragon's den. let me know. thanks.

In general terms, Dragonite has a base Attack stat of 134. So it's possible for it to have an Attack stat that high. Depending on Dragonite's Attack IV and how many EVs you invest in its Attack, its Attack will be higher (or lower).
