I haven't had time to read through all the different posts in here so I'm not too sure if this has been asked before or not.
Anyway, I'm after a moon stone, haven't beaten Morty yet so that's where I am in the game.
Is it possible to get one by now, if so, where do I find it?

Christopher September 27th, 2010 2:28 PM

You can somewhat cheat the safari zone by turning the clock to 23:59 and letting the date roll over (will take awhile).

The Moonstone can be obtained by your mother and delivered to you at that point in the game (i think)

I'm trying to ev train my weavile right now. Is there an higher level of zubats than 8 besides the slowpokes well. And I'm also looking a good place to fight lots of golden with high level too for an attack.

Bulbapedia says it's found with Sinnoh Sound rather than Hoenn Sound. Weird, since it is a Hoenn Pokemon, but...

You might want to try luring it out during the Sinnoh Sound program.

hey can i get info on how you can give someone else the event wondercard through the "recieve gift via friend" option

Fushigidane-Chan September 29th, 2010 12:19 PM

Meditite is indeed a Sinnoh Sound Pokemon.

You can only distribute the Secret Key (Rotom event) to people. So in HeartGold and SoulSilver, it's basically a useless option.

These are my teams for online battling: Weavile level 52, electivire level 40, pupitar level 44, machamp level 40, Infernape level 41. If not what is a good place for them to get ev trained.

Astinus September 29th, 2010 1:08 PM

If you're going to get into competitive battling, my best answer for you is to read guides in the Strategies and Movesets section. That'll tell you everything you need to know to get started battling against other players.

Also, for EV training, there's a guide here and at the bottom of the post here. And then there's my personal go-to place for guides, GameFAQs, which has a guide here. That guide explains the basics of EV training, natures, and where to find the best Pokemon for each stat.

ltsang September 30th, 2010 12:47 PM

I started a new team over. Right now I'm doing some ev training to my pokemon. My chamiar is level 8 and his speed is higher than the attack. Right now its at 16. I was battling a zubat in the slowpokes cave. How can you tell if it has gain some ev or not? Another thing is How can you tell when it can not gain any more evs. Attack is 13 last time I check. I know Chimar is not an speedy pokemon, but I want it just in case.

Christopher September 30th, 2010 12:51 PM

you can't see how many Evs you have whle training when you get the effort ribbon you have gotten the 510 and that pokemon is don. you get an Ev every time you beat a pokemon

this should help

Whenever your Pokemon defeats another Pokemon, it will always gain at least one EV.

Quote:

There is a girl in a house in Blackthorn City who will give your Pokemon a ribbon if it has fully maxed out its EVs. That is the only way to find out if your Pokemon's EVs are maxed out, unless you've been keeping track.

Chimchar is actually very fast. Definitely focus on its Speed, along with either Attack or Special Attack depending on what moves you plan to teach it.

ltsang September 30th, 2010 1:41 PM

On Chimar I'm planning on teaching it grass knot, thunder punch, close combat and flamethrower. The ones from smogen university site

Go with the MixApe EVs then (if you plan on properly EV training).

rstevenson1976 September 30th, 2010 3:02 PM

ev's
 
is each pokemon's ev distribution predetermined or does it matter which ones you concentrate on? I've been using vitamins for raising my pokemon's evs(expensive I know but as far as I'm concerned it still gets the job done)

and anyone notice the odd looking rocks in the ilex forest? the ones by the Azalea Town entrance, think they might be anything like the two rocks in diamond that evolve eevee into two of it's forms?

Christopher September 30th, 2010 3:39 PM

each pokemon has its own evs it gives upon defeat e.g Nidoking gives 3 attack evs

Glaceon & Leafeon are not available in HG/SS

rstevenson1976 September 30th, 2010 3:50 PM

that doesn't answer my question

it matters which one you concentrate on. ev's are not set in stone like ivs are. with each pokemon you battle, that's where you get evs from. so if you want to concentrate on say defense evs, battle lots of geodudes. vitamins are supposed to help a lot, yes



but a question of my own: when I use vitamins, even if I use a lot, not too significant of a change shows on the stats at level up. why?

EVs? Effort Values are not the ones that are predetermined. Those are IVs, which are determined at birth/first appearance in the wild. EVs, on the other hand, are the ones that depend on what you concentrate on. You have more control over EVs.

So the answer I believe you're looking for is: The latter--"it [matters] which ones you concentrate on"

Negative. Eevee can evolve to Glaceon and Leafeon in only D/P/Pt, not in HG/SS. Those rocks were only placed there, as far as I know, for the Farfetch'd in-game event.

How do you keep track of the your ev for your pokemon? I don't really know. I've paper and pencil, but I lost track.

You can find many calculators for these sorts of things online. Google 'EV Calculator' or something similar and you should find the one you need.

Additionally, you can always use EV-reducing berries to bring your EVs back down to zero if you're not good with calculations (I know I'm not).

well, before the national pokedex of black/white you can't get any of the pokemon from prior generations. this would include ditto. is there another pokemon that can transform in gen 5? or are the days of breeding over?

(I've heard that there are no baby pokemon but not sure what exactly that would mean (no only-baby-obtainable gen 5 pokes or no daycares or what))

what happens when you get the national pokedex? does a daycare open up? (like the one in fr/lg kinda?)

1. No, I don't think so. You'll have to wait till you get the National Dex in B/W in order to see Ditto.

2. No, a new Daycare doesn't open up when you get the National Dex in HG/SS. You'll be able to see the dex entries of Pokemon of other regions, not just the native ones.
