Well, keep trying?
It won't be labeled as Legendaries if it's caught so easily (Yus' I'mma looking at you Dialga and Palkia)

Amore July 28th, 2010 6:30 AM

Use Fast Balls.

Its' base speed is 100+, so Fast Balls have a high catch rate. I only used 9 on it when I caught it

K so i want to catch Ho-Oh on HG without the masterball... so what would you reccomend? What type of pokeball? Which pokemon? Sleep or paralyz? Right now i am using the pikachu colored pichu with endeavor (this works very well) and then constantly putting it to sleep with hypnosis from Gengar, but Gengar keeps fainting (its lv 47) and im using ultra balls (which isnt working well)... so what do you recommend?

Eye straining text. ;)

Anyway, my method was to wait until night time (in-game) and use Dusk Balls, which have a much greater catch rate overall, benefitted by night time.

No it's not.

To be honest no matter what you do it's not going to exceed a 5% chance by a whole lot. Just low health, Dusk Balls, and soft resetting should eventually get it.

This is going to sound completely newbish, but how do I find out my friendcode on SS?

JakeyBoy July 28th, 2010 2:25 PM

Get the Pal Pad from downstairs in a Pokecenter. Connect to the internet. Afterwards, look at your Pal Pad.

I have a level 22 poliwag and I taught it Icebeam. Does anyone know where to train it. I'm trying to use it in the battle for clair. She's tough to beat without an ice pokemon.

Pokestick, good times. July 29th, 2010 10:32 AM

Route 45 is quite good when training for Clair, IMO. That's where I got my Gyarados (Ice Fang) ready for the challenge, by battling Geodude and Graveler.
But seeing as you said your Poli is level 22, you might find route 45 too high-levelled for training, so I guess route 44 would be a better candidate there.

HGSS lacks good training spots, really :|
You'll just have to make the most out of it.

shinyespeon1798 July 29th, 2010 12:56 PM

There is the Enigma Stone event starting on July 31st, ending August 27th. In this event you get an Enigma stone that you can take to the Pewter City Museum, and you will get Soul Dew, and one of the Lati's from it (depending on your version; Latios - HeartGold, Latias - SoulSilver).

Too bad I won't be able to participate. Because I'm still in the blackthorn city and training my poliworil to battle clair.

I think you should be able to go ahead and get it; the Enigma Stone will be recieved as a key item and you should be able to get the Soul Dew when you get to Pewter.

You can still get it. The Enigma Stone is only a Key Item that won't get used until you reach Pewter City. But you can still get it so long as you have a Pokedex. It's the item, not the Pokemon, so you can get the event whenever you want.

will the enigma stone be redistributable ?

No because it is a key item.

Oblivion Wing July 29th, 2010 7:57 PM

You mean what events have been/will be released for HG/SS?

Right here. It shows the one released outside of Japan and the ones that have been Japan-only so far.

kakarot July 30th, 2010 2:45 AM

I have a Shaymin that I think may be a fake, I have taken it to the Flower shop in Goldenrod but nothing happens.

I know the flower transforms Shaymin from 5am to 7pm but can I get the flower any time?

Save File
 
Right, last night in my SoulSilver game (English) I was going to have the Tag battle with my rival. I entered Dragon's Den and saved the game, I then proceeded to battle and then lost, so I turned the game off by the switch and left it for the night.

A few minutes ago I went back to it and got a blue screen with the message "The save file will be erased due to corruption or damage."

I've tried getting dust or anything out of the DS and the game card, but there's nothing. I've also tried a different DS but get the same message.

...Help? http://www.pokecommunity.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Hope this is int he right place, if not can someone kindly move it?

shinyespeon1798 July 30th, 2010 6:10 AM

will there be a crown dogs event in the us?

bobandbill July 30th, 2010 6:31 AM

Going to move to the Help thread, as that's where questions should go. Although note if it is a fake game (rom'd and all) then such things are more likely to happen and there's little one can do with that.

Maybe you hit the game or something when you put the ds down? =/ Does it actually erase or just display the message? Don't think you can really do anything short of cleaning it again and all... =/

Amore July 30th, 2010 10:36 AM

@ ShinyEspeon1798:


Basically, yes. Or no. Or "who knows, not even gamefreak". Except they probably do.

There have been no official announcements about the Crown Beasts outside of Japan, and no leaks from any "official sources". So, while there may be an event, there is no confirmation of that, and currently there isn't one.

ltsang July 30th, 2010 11:13 AM
