If you have 3 different Event Arceus's, can you obtain all 3 Sinnoh Legends (Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina)?

It's physical move so Gyarados can use its nice attack stat.

You're totally right and if i remember well, Gyarados learn that move via leveling up =)
Dudypokefan89, use this move better than Blizzard =)

No. The event Arceus is good for one use only.

Is it possible to get a shiny eevee from Bill in Goldenrod? Was just wondering about this, even though it's probably the same as finding a shiny of anything else.

shookie April 22nd, 2010 2:39 PM

It's possible, just need to soft reset like with any other interactive Pokémon.

arcanine
 
what is the best nature for a growlithe or an arcanine

jigglyppuff8 April 22nd, 2010 3:04 PM

It's Adamant or Jolly since Arcanine's strengths lies in its physical stats.

While attack and speed may be its best stats, Adamant and Jolly not the only natures it can utilize well. Arcanine makes a more than fair special attacker, as its special attack stat is not that much lower than its attack stat. Additionally, it has a fair bulky set, and can make a good shuffler. All of Arcanine's sets (which I've essentially mentioned here) can be found here, and Smogon in general can prove a valuable ally when you're trying to figure out the best natures for a given Pokémon.

How do you guys spread out the HMs? which ones are the most your going to be using? I figure surf fly and strength are the most important, and are actually useful in battle.

This is what I do: I get a Pokemon as a HM slave such as Wooper and just added to my team when I need to use of the HM moves outside of battle, and when I'm done, I put it back on the PC.

And when it comes on using the most important HM's as Fly, Surf, Strength I usually have a Pokemon on my team, learned them.

Well, if you're in competitive play, Fly and Strength aren't going to be useful, but I suppose they're helpful against in-game trainers. However, those are pretty important moves in the overworld. I personally like to have all the HMs learned in my party, at least if you're exploring. As long as you have a Pokémon that can learn Waterfall, you can gather the rest of the 7 HMs on Tauros and Farfetch'd (provided this is before the Elite 4, as post-E4 you can grab a Bibarel for your HM-slavery). However, once you get Fly, having the proper HMs at every moment isn't going to be a major concern, as you can just Fly to the nearest city to the get the Pokémon. Anyways, before the Elite 4, I just kept Farfetch'd and Tauros around at all times, just in case (other than in Gyms, of course).

Yes, it is possible to acquire a shiny Pokemon from the PokeWalker.

I don't think there's a specific animation for it :s You just gotta keep chucking balls at everything you see.

That's what I understood from the article anyway; I lost the article ~.~

MickX April 23rd, 2010 5:38 AM

Sorry if it was mentioned anywhere before, but for some reason I haven't got a Dratini from the Dragon Den Master. I assumed during the story that the Dratini is given on a second visit, but no matter how many times I go there the man never ever mentions about Dratini, only keeps talking about Lugia.

I begin to wonder whether I did something wrong with the game right now.

*Meowth V.2* April 23rd, 2010 7:34 AM

@ MickX. You have to leave a space in your party to get Dratini from the dragon master.

Question.

Where can I get Larvitar in Soul Silver besides Mt. Silver?

And if you can get him in the Safari Zone, what do you need to get him?

MickX April 23rd, 2010 7:40 AM

Just tried opening a spot on my team, doesn't work. The old man keeps babbling about Lugia and doesn't mention a thing.

I get the feeling I only had that window of opportunity during the storyline itself. Either that or something's wrong with my game...

Same thing happen to me, but after I opened a spot on my team, I got the Dratini from the old man. Did you answer his quiz correctly? If you didn't, you won't be able to get a Dratini with Extreme Speed. That's odd, you should be able to get a normal Dratini anyways.

Edit: Now I remember, first, you must get, TM59 (Dragon Pulse) from Clair.
