Breeding with Power Items
 
Quote:

Breeding Differences


As GSC added breeding as a new feature, HGSS brought some new breeding features.

Firstly, there is a new way to pass down IVs from parents to the offspring, which is down via the Power items. If a parent holds one (or both parents hold two), then the stat that corresponds to power item will be passed down. The list:
  • Power Weights: HP
  • Power Bracers: Attack
  • Power Belt: Defense
  • Power Lens: Sp. Attack
  • Power Band: Sp. Defense
  • Power Anklet: Speed

I haven't been able to find an authoritative answer on how breeding mechanics work with Power items thrown in.

  • Without a Power item, 3 IVs (which may overlap) are passed down from the parents. If a parent is holding an Power item, are 3 additional random IVs still passed down from the parents, or does the Power item change this?
  • If both parents hold a Power item, are two IVs passed down, and how does this affect the random IVs passed down from parents? Although I've read some claims that they are both always passed down, I also read that the chance is only about 25% or so, can anyone confirm this one way or the other?

^ Mrged with the Help thread as that's where questions are meant to go.

(I'm not sure but I think up to 3 IVs are passed down always power item or not?)

I heard that there's a guy in Violet city who gives you items/pokemon if you say something specific? Is this true?

Hey guys i need some help. I just got back into Pokemon few days ago, just got SS today and been loving it. My problem is i can't find Route 11... i really want my snorlax since i only have 2 pokemon right now and have 4 badges. Thanks in advance.

anisa May 21st, 2010 7:40 PM

Route 11 is in Kanto, east of Vermillion City. You can't get there until after you beat the Elite Four.

Omg T___________T looks like I'll have only 2 pokemon for the the whole game. Well another question, where can i get those stones that evolve pokemon like Evee and such?

anisa May 21st, 2010 7:54 PM

Unfortunately you can't buy them. If you go to Bulbapedia and search for "evolutionary stone" it has a list that tells you where you can get each type (this forum won't let me link to websites until I have 15 posts...)
(Note that before you get the national pokedex, you can only get sun stones from winning the bug catching contest, not the others)

I'd like to know this... How do I obtain Wormadam's Ground and Trash Cloak forms in this game?

Well, you can always get Munchlax from your Pokéwalker, assuming you have and use one. The Winner's Path event route currently being distributed has a Selfdestruct Munchlax, although it rarely appears. But if you're saying you'll only have 2 Pokémon the whole game, I'm guessing you're playing under some special rules?

I'm not entirely sure about all this, since I don't have a Burmy in my HG, but the Sand Cloak you can get by fighting in any cave, like probably Union Cave or Victory Road. As for the Trash Cloak...I've seen suggestions of Sprout Tower and the Mahogany Rocket Hideout...I can't check my game atm, but I assume the latter is still open? Or uh...ooo maybe a rematch with a Gym Leader, or one of those trainers in the Lighthouse? o.o Really wish I could try it myself right now...

Not playing under any special rules really. I'm just really picky with the type of pokemon i use. I just beat the steal user gym leader, but what i fear the most is going into fight the E4 with just 2 pokemon. By any chance do you have a Munchlax that's a male that you don't need? I just bought the game today so i can't say i have the best pokemon to trade with you =/ I'm going to bed now, if you can do me that favor send me a Pm cause I'm going to bed.

Hello. If I trade a Giratina over from DPPt, and go to the move relearner, will it be able to relearn Shadow Sneak? Please test it before you answer.

steve haml May 22nd, 2010 6:23 AM

where can i get heart gold that wont freeze on no$gba? please help

lamby101 May 22nd, 2010 7:12 AM

Does anybody know whether it's possible to breed moves onto Gallade? (Ralts initially to be evolved into Gallade)

If I remember correctly it is the male pokemon that passes moves down, I want a Gallade who knows Will-o-wisp but the only way to get it onto his moveset is through breeding, yet Gallade is only ever Male.

Is it possible to breed the move onto a female ralts and then breed it with a ditto or male ralts to pass it down to a male Ralts so I can get a Gallade with Will-o-wisp?

Thanks for any help

Trade Giratina over to HGSS, yes, theoretically it must be able to relearn Shadow Sneak. I tried similar methods before...

Try Youtube or Google, as you cannot ask for rom help here.

Breed a male Banette/Dusclops with Will-o-wisp with a female Ralts. Hatch a male offspring, which will have the egg move.

Males pass on egg moves.

Question guys, i just caught the shining Gyarados and i want to know is it wroth training it? Asking because i really need some more pokemon, only have 2 at the moment.

It's always open to your own preference. Gyarados is a strong Water/Flying type, a good physical attacker, and a decent addition to any team. All you'd have to watch out for is the fact that a Gyarados trained from a lower level will statistically be stronger even if it is at the same level as yours, and that Gyarados has that nasty x4 weakness to Electric.

It's all up to you. :)

Damn x4 weakness to Electric type attacks!?!? Hmm i rather get one later on and train it the hard way. Got another question, I want to Ev train my Typhlosion later on in the game when i beat it and such. Now what i want to know is, by the time that i beat the game his going to be around the 60's. I would have to take the berry's that lower my stat and then start the Ev training, so lets say i want defense ev's I'm going to have to be fighting a ton of Geodudes, now there going to be giving me like +1 to defense each time i kill one. Meaning if i kill 510 Geodudes and i don't level will i still have all those Ev points?

You can get a max of 255 EVs in any one stat, with a max of 252 EVs making a difference. If you faint a bunch of exp-yielding Pokemon without levelling up, you have the EV points, but the stat changes don't happen until you level up.

Confused by what you mean there, but if you use the EV-reducing berries, you will be able to get all the Def. EVs you want. 510 is the max amount of EVs you can get, but you can only get 255 max in a single stat. Not to mention it takes 4 EVs to raise the stat by 1 point, so ideally, you'll aim for 252 at most...

Also, use Macho Brace (doubles EVs received) or Power Items (+4 EVs of a certain stat), as well as maybe Pokérus (doubles EVs received), to make EV-training faster. Finally, you won't see the effects of EV-training (meaning your actual stats won't change) until after you've leveled, so make sure to EV-train before reaching level 100.

Ah i see, so it's 252 per stat right? Now where can i get those berry's? I'm at the ice gym right now.

Alexeon May 22nd, 2010 10:01 AM

Without relying on trades or a Pokéwalker, you can only get 4 of the EV berries, and only by trading colored shards to the Juggler in Fuchsia City, which you haven't reached yet. I'd say don't concern yourself with EV-training until after you've beaten the Pokémon League.
