Hi I need help. Today I've been breeding several different pokemon and they all end up being a female. I have male magmar and a male dophan and I tried to breed it and the baby end up being female. What am I doing wrong? Please help.

like... if a pokemon evolves and doesn't have a certain move in its moveset can it not learn that move? for example, grovile doesn't have mega drain in its moveset but treecko does, can it not learn mega drain if it's evolved to grovyle and I take it to the move relearner?

anything else you think I should know?

You need a heart scale for every move you want to relearn. And no, unfortunately, you won't be able to teach Grovyle Mega Drain. The move relearner cannot reteach moves that the Pokémon cannot learn normally. For example, a Raichu would not be able to relearn any "Pikachu-specific" moves.

Um this sounds to me like you're trying to breed two male Pokémon together which isn't possible :\, could you please clarify what you are saying?

I was using a ditto and magmar and the baby end up a female instead of a male. I also want to breed a scyther with bullet punch and an evee with wish. How can I do it? Can someone help me? Thanks.

Well it's just a coincidence the baby was female and if you hatch more eggs you'll eventually get a male one. As for the Scyther with Bullet Punch, it can't learn it, you have to evolve a Scyther into Scizor and use a Heart Scale to get it to learn Bullet Punch. And the easiest way to get an Eevee with Wish is by breeding a Female Eevee with a Male Smeargle that knows Wish via Sketch (You can also cross-breed the move to a Pikachu or Skitty and then to Eevee but it's a lot harder).

How do you catch a Riolu?
 
Sorry if the question seems somewhat "nooby" but i have no idea :'(

Sirknight January 15th, 2011 8:18 PM

You have to put down 10 forest objects and 14 peak objects in the Meadow section of the Safari Zone and wait 70 days. I would say it would be easier to go to the Quick Trade Thread and ask for one.

ShreyasPokemon January 15th, 2011 8:19 PM

I think you can catch it in the Safari Zone using the blocks.

I haven't been keeping up with Pokémon news lately so I was wondering what that Celebi/Giovanni event was. Do you need that special event Celebi to trigger this scene or will any Celebi do?
And when was this Celebi given away?

Yes, that specific Celebi would activate the in-game event (I've heard another one might as well... but it isn't meant to, and hacked ones from Johto will too, but hacked are...well, hacked!)

And I don't think there is a date for the Celebi event outside of America yet, but I think the dates for Celebi in America might be Feb 27th to March 7th via Gamestop.

Hi I battle the 3 girls down in the hiddien ocean in goldenrod city. Now After I battle all 3 of them I got the power gem from them. Now when I turned my on my game today and I look for my power gem its gone. I have no idea how it disappears from my pokemon or my backpack. Please help. My idea was maybe some wild pokemon used knock off and knock my item off.

It may be because you didn't save after you got the Power Herb (it's not the Power Gem). Maybe you accidentally used the item in battle. Also, Knock Off lasts until the Pokemon switches out or the battle ends.

I let the pokemon hold it. The power herb is one time deal. Not the the quick claw.

is Self-Destruct a TM at all? or even a Move Tutor Move in HG/SS/PLT?

Kenshin5 January 17th, 2011 1:58 PM

No too Self Destruct on both accounts.

Nope u.u however Explosion is a TM in those games. n.n

Haunt January 17th, 2011 2:18 PM

So, I don't know if this has been asked anywhere else, or a similar inquiry has been made. But I felt the need to post this here, as it didn't seem permitted anywhere else. I've reached Blackthorn City on my Heart Gold, and my pokemon seem a bit under leveled. Mind you, I don't skip any battles (generally) and try to train my pokemon as evenly spread out throughout the team I have as I can. Right now, I have levels 32-36. I'm aiming to have all of my pokemon at level 36 before I challenge Claire, as even her trainers have substantially leveled pokemon. My question is basically where is a good spot to essentially grind for this? I've fought the trainers South of the city and they were a bit low leveled to offer too much experience, as well as the wild pokemon there. I'm not a big fan of grinding, but I feel like I must have fallen behind somewhere along the line. If any advice could be offered, it'd be appreciated.


Thank you (:

explosion is pretty much the same thing right? or is it a cheap knock-off that doesnt hit as hard or somthing?

how do u obtain TM:Explosion btw?

Kenshin5 January 17th, 2011 2:35 PM

Explosion Base Power is 250 and Self Destruct is 200. So knockoff I think not. Locations - Underground Path Route 5-6, (Trade Rarecandybar).

bobandbill January 17th, 2011 3:52 PM

Also note that in 4th gen games Explosion also has the unmentioned effect of halving the opponent's defense as well - by far superior to Selfdestruct.

@ Haunt - you can always rematch trainers via the phone - here's a link of when you can call who (you can battle someone as many times as you want in the time period for them btw). As for places you might have missed - Union cave has some trainers in it if you make use of Surf (and also leads to other Ruins of Alph areas in which there is another trainer too), and also there's three trainers if you surf south of Goldenrod (on route 34).

I've been trying to catch articuno tonight and still with no luck. I use pikachu's thunder wave to parlyze him and then hit him with thunder bolt a few times until he has low health. Then I use 50 ultra balls toss it at him and still with no luck. Any tips. I don't have any pokemon with sleep powered and stuff like that.

Kenshin5 January 17th, 2011 9:06 PM

Have you tried Quick Balls/Fast Balls to start off with? Then if that doesn't work Timer Ball every 10 turns. Dusk Balls come in handy.

bobandbill January 17th, 2011 9:37 PM

Also just remember Articuno has one of the worst catch rates so you'll need some luck and patience with it as well. Sleep is a better status effect than paralysis btw, but certainly any status effect helps significantly.

Use the radio on your pokegear, just move the dot to the very top and their is a hidden station! Hope i helped

§1 January 17th, 2011 10:23 PM

i can't remember what exactly that power items do when EV training.
do they add +4 of their EV, for each pokemon you beat?

like if i beat a spearow for 1 speed, and had a power weight equiped i would also get 4 hp EVs right?
