Go to the Copycat's house, she will be missing her clefairy dude. Go to the Pokemon Fan Club, talk to that guy as soon as you walk in, he will say he found a Clefairy doll. You tell him there is a girl who is missing a Clefairy doll, and he will tell you to go give the doll to her. As soon as you exit the Fan Club, Steven will come up and tell you about [email protected] Now go give the Clefairy doll to Copycat and now go check Silph co.

My question is this. How do you get Shiny Legendaries? Is it just random if the Legendary you have in you game is shiny or event?

Yes, its kind of random. You have a chnace of 1/8192 to get a shiny wild pokemon. People sometimes just save in front of a legendary and then soft reset hunderds of times just hoping to get a shiny one. xD

suggestion on evolution - Vileplume vs Bellossom!
 
Hey. So, I go for a walk in the safari zone and, lo and behold, I find a shiny oddish! I catch it and do a quick run-down of its stats, and find it has decent stats to boot! Now I want to train this little thing, but one small detail remains...

I'm wondering, what would be the better evolution here? Should I go for a Vileplume, or a Bellossom? Any comments would be greatly appreciated! If you could give reasons for a particular choice, that would be excellent!

(P.S. I'm not 100% sure where this thread should go, so hopefully I got it right! If not, well I can handle having it blocked.)

Danke, Merci and all that!

Impo August 22nd, 2010 4:19 AM

personally i like bellossom,
but vileplume is a better special attacker

depends what you use it for really :P

bobandbill August 22nd, 2010 4:37 AM

Figure since you're asking for advice on it I've merged the thread with the Help thread sticky.

If it has good stats and you figure you might go into competitive battling check out its nature and what ones are considered good ones to have for either Pokemon I suggest - otherwise just go for which one you like better I suppose if you don't care for that sort of thing. Check out the shiny sprites for the two as well. ;p

Safari zone waiting time
 
Hey guys, ive been playing soul silver pretty much since its UK release and i've only just decided to pay attention to the safari zone.
I have access to all the blocks and have been experimenting using seribiis guide but there are some pokemon im after that i just dont have the time to get such as trapinch. I was wondering if anyone knew of a method that could greatly speed up the time it takes to get the pokemon you have to wait 30 days. Perhaps there is a method editing the ds clock?

bobandbill August 22nd, 2010 5:08 AM

I'm not sure about the DS clock method actually working with the safari zone... never tried myself. I guess I'll merge with the Help thread then so someone who has tried it can answer. =p

Besides that though there is no way to speed it up. Also note that it's x number of days since you've unlocked the area with the Pokemon in it, not days since you've set up blocks iirc.

trust me, everyone who has played the safari game is so annoyed about the long wait time. but, unfortunately changing the ds clock does not change it.

Let's me analyse it for you...

By stats:
Vileplume is an offensive one. When it come for battling it is obvious that Vileplume is much more better choice.

Bellossom is a defensive one. If you want someone to do supporting for you in battle then Bellossom is more an ideal choice.

In my case I would go for Vileplume, I just love it... And usually I'd go for offensive Pokemon.

hello, can you please explain to me why are EVs important? i know that they are gained by experience, but why does it matter?

Christopher August 22nd, 2010 4:48 PM

they determine how your stats grow and are vital to a WiFi Team

Does anyone know why Whitney's Miltank was able to use stomp on my Gastly? I thought stomp was a normal type... :shocked: ...

One of Miltank's abilities is Scrappy, which has the effect of allowing Normal-type attacks to hit Ghost-type foes.

Klinny August 22nd, 2010 11:21 PM

Stomp is indeed a Normal type move, but Miltank is can have the "Scrappy" ability. This ability allows the Miltank to hit Ghost Pokemon with Normal attacks.

Edit: Whoops, was beaten to it! ^-^;

Lady Nicole August 23rd, 2010 3:59 AM

Oh, I see... LOL! I thought it had changed type or something. Thanks blaQk and Klinny for answering :D

You can verse your rival on Mondays? right before you go into door to elite four, um you can beat the elite four a couples time (I highly don't reccomend that though) or you just verse pokemon the wild or trainers. I don't that much after those four things. You can extremespeed dratini from clairs granfather if you say the right answers... xD

the only way initiate the clefairy event at mt. moon, you have to be at mt. moon square anytime between monday night at 8 PM and tuesday 4 AM. even though all the clefairy runs away when one of the four sees you, but you can get a moon stone by breaking the rock that the clefairy is dancing around. the only places where you can catch a clefairy is mt. moon (in the cave where they will be lvl 8 and have an 8% spawn rate) and the safari zone.

as for the mr. mime jr., the only way ti get him is by breeding a mr. mime while holding an odd incense, this will allow you to get a mime jr., when it hatches from the egg

You can battle your Rival on Mondays and Wednesdays. Also, if you have the patience to wait for a chansey swarm, catch a bunch of Chansey hoping for a lucky egg. That will boost the Exp you get equal to if it was a traded pokemon. So traded Pokemon holding lucky eggs will get alot of exp.

Lucky eggs give exp? If only if I knew before.... xD

Weavile05 August 23rd, 2010 7:19 AM

The pokemon actually has to battle for the lucky egg boost though

ltsang August 23rd, 2010 7:48 AM

I'm tyring to get an egg of a mr mine. What kind of item is it?

Weavile05 August 23rd, 2010 8:07 AM

If the parent holds an odd insence, you get mime jr., but if nothing is held, you get Mr. mime.

Aaron40 August 24th, 2010 12:50 AM

Hey
i'm trying to soft reset a chikorita on my Heartgold and I would like to know if you can see that the pokemon is shiny in the pokeball before you choose it, also where should i save it so the soft reset works.
