You can also sell Everstones and any unwanted evolution stones to the Gentleman in the Icirrus City Pokemon Center.

If you have a Pokemon that knows Thief, you can use it to steal Everstones from wild Roggenrola/Boldore.

Roggenrola/Boldore have a 50% chance of holding an Everstone, which is fairly common.

You could also go the classic way and have your first party Pokémon hold the Amulet Coin while battling trainers. The move Pay Day will be nifty too!

Becoming a pokemon breeder?
 
So I started playing Pokemon 2 weeks ago for the first time (yeah I know I'm late to join the fun but hey better than ever haha).So far I'm focusing more on finishing the game and learning the deeper mechanics of the game as Black and White 2 is coming out in a few months. But I was wondering as I am more of a friendlier person than a competetive guy (and frankly those team building guide are giving me a headache lol) if being a pokemon breeder is something sought after and fun to do.

I mean I am sure a lot of people are trying, like me, to get the 2 other starter pokemons and are not ready to exchange a legendary or grind a lvl 100 emboar to get one. Being a pokemon breeder could be fun as to help others get those pokemons easily without having a headache.

Anyway just wondering, any advice would be welcome :D

A question about Black & White
 
Helloez,

So my question is, what are the main differences between those two? I'm about to buy Nintendo DS. And which one would oy uprefer and why?

Thanks.

Plasmette June 21st, 2012 12:35 PM

Is it a Wifi problem? Or does the lady say that you can't enter?

Did you get these off of Pokegen or Pokecheck? Are they hacked in any sort of way?

pokekid445 June 21st, 2012 1:16 PM

Are there any pokemon?
 
Are there any pokemon that can learn false swipe and mean look... or are those moves available in tm form to teach to pokemon...I mean thunderus was a pain in my ass because he kept fleeing from battle and im not sure if cobalion and his significant others do the same. Any info will be great and if anyone is willing to trade me any pokemon who has these moves that would be even better thanks.

Go fishing in Undella Bay. Shellder hold Pearl or Big Pearl which when sold go for 1400 for just a pearl which is at least better to double what can be gotten from a Pokemon with Sturdy ability. They also have rather weak attack stats.

Compoundeyes in lead position (fainted, from partner in Double grass = PC and Move Pokemon is good healing) can have a Pokemon with Frisk or Pickup free to Thief, Covet, or get item from other means such as capture or item swapping with the opponent.

Could be the Global link is still being upgraded? Some features might still be down (Unless I'm being stupid O.o)

Scorpiopt June 21st, 2012 2:47 PM

you need to give more details is it a lady or a connection error?

uchihajuggala June 21st, 2012 2:52 PM

My connection is perfect.
It tells me there is a problem with my Pokemon.

And they are from pokegen

Scorpiopt June 21st, 2012 3:00 PM

it means some of your pokemon are not legal , use pokecheck to see whats making them illegal , ( use pokegen and save the pkm , make an account on the site and upload the pkm)

This is kinda covered by what the FAQ says right here and the actual "Black or White" thread - based on what others have chosen, so I've merged it here in case anybody has any specific reasoning why you should choose one or another. :) Ultimately though? It's up to you. If worst comes to worst, get both? :3;

Is it possible to leave the Pokemon League after defeating the Elite Four, but before battling N? I know you have access to a PC, but the team I have planned for N's Castle needs a bit of leveling up, so I'd like to know if I'll need to get that done before or after the Elite Four.

I think so. But iirc the only way to leave is to purposely be beat in battle. You'll end up at the Pokemon Center at the start of the Elite 4.

There's also a Team Plasma grunt somewhere in N's castle who will offer you to take you back to the Pokemon League center. He'll also be in that building to take you back to N's Castle.

Nope, Cobalion & Co. don't run from you. Thundurus/Tornadus are the only roamers in Black and White.

To answer your move question... Absol, Gallade, Smeargle, Pawniard and Bisharp can all have False Swipe & Mean Look. Mean Look has to be bred onto all of them and then False Swipe should be taught via Tm 54. Smeargle just needs to sketch them.

Rules of a legitimate pokemon
 
Hi guys, i'm quite new at the pokemon online features, i won't waste your time making you read my long post, so i'll just get straight to the point.

1) if legit pokemon is traded to an unlegit copy of pokemon game, will the pokemon not be able to enter the online matchup forever?
2) if original copy of pokemon game is entered by a hacked pokemon due to a trade, will the whole save be branded as illegitimate or just the hacked specific pokemon that enters the original game be branded like that?

I have a case here, lemme explain it briefly:
I have a legit pokemon from a legit copy, but i intended to transfer it to an unlegit copy of the pokemon to eat EV-reduing berries. As we all know, these berries are super hard to get in GenV. So i decided to make them eat AR-ed berries. Now question is, how far will it affect my game and pokemon? Will my whole legit saved game be jeopardized by receiving this "berry-fed" pokemon back to my legit copy? Or will only the "berry-fed" pokemon be branded as illegit? Or will neither case happen, and i walk free from the illegitimation case check?

Thanks before, and any reply or input will be greatly appreciated :)

Altairis June 24th, 2012 1:20 PM

1) Um, maybe, I don't really know what you mean by "unlegit Pokemon game" because if its not an official Pokemon game I don't think it would be able to use Online matchup.
2) No, just the Pokemon is the only thing that's hacked. Your game is fine.

Do you mean an unlegit game = a game that was modified by codes? If it's just simple codes like All Berries, All Medicines, All Pokeballs, etc, it doesn't make your game or the Pokemon unlegit, because you'd just be feeding it berries, using the Pokeballs, etc, you won't actually be modifying parts of your game (making Events happen when you don't have the requirement) or going to places you shouldn't (walk through walls code specifically). So the berries aren't unlegit, the Pokemon isn't, the game isn't. You shouldn't have to trade the Pokemon, feed berries, then trade it back to your "legit" game.

The only time a Pokemon isn't legit is when you force the game to generate something that wouldn't occur naturally: forcing a Pokemon to be shiny, forcing a Pokemon to appear where it isn't normally found, changing the gender, editing the level, moves that it shouldn't learn normally, etc.

I hope I explained this well enough!

Terraflare June 24th, 2012 5:51 PM

All too well, friend. Thank you very much. Yes, by unlegit pokemon i do mean a pokemon that's unqualified to enter random online matchup. Of course it's quite obvious that they say about having an "unrealistic" pokemon is illegit (like full 31 ivs for all stat). But sometimes it can become grayish for area where hacks are used. For example (this gets trickier), a vitamin that surpasses 100 EV value is fed into pokemon. So like, 25 hp up and 25 vitamin fed, the certain pokemon now has 250 hp ev and 250 atk ev, without training. Now is this considered illegit?

Altairis June 24th, 2012 6:16 PM

You can't feed the Pokemon more than 10 vitamins per stat, so that wouldn't work. It's not that hard to EV train now so your best bet is to just EV train normally and not use the AR to obtain the EVs.

Also, having 31 IVs for each stat is not illegal. It is illegal, however, if you got those by editing a Pokemon's IVs using an AR or anything else like that. Most people just use RNG to get flawless IVs, which is totally fine.

Terraflare June 25th, 2012 1:53 AM

That's the problem, see. There's an AR code that allows you to feed vitamins to pokemon for more than 10 times per stat. Now in this case, is the pokemon still considered as legit? Because the case which they feed the vitamin is fine, but crossing the border of the "10 vitamins per stat" rule is broken in the "illegit" game.

If you mean the backgrounds for the C-Gear, then you'd have to enter passcodes on the Global Link when the C-Gear skin is available. Before that, however you'd need a Pokemon Global Link account.

Serebii usually posts when there's a new skin available, and iirc, there's a page in the BW section specifically on the skins and when they are available in what area.
