Im such a newb to the games...
I recently aquired Diamond. Can I connect to and battle people who have Pearl? Sorry if this is the dumbest question ever:)
|
The answer is yes. Same goes for Platinum.

Nah, sorry, it won't. The poke with Magma Armor / Flame Body has to be in the first slot of your party for the ability to take effect. |
I'm SR for a shiny rotom. whenever i load the game the journal keeps coming. i want to disable it. can I?
and also, whats the best balls to catch rotom? if i am at eterna city right now. nest balls? |
Quote:
About the Journal Thingie. it Appears normally to anyone if they didnt play their game for a day. theres no way to disable it My Question: I just want to know about this Mysterious Move: Psywave. it always hits at Neutral Damage. and its Base Power is Unknown. does its Base Power Depends on something? |
Quote:
The only advice I have for the journal is to just hit A when it comes up. I turned on my Platinum to figure out how to disable the journal, but it doesn't pop up for me anymore.. hm. To catch Rotom, Nest balls are fine considering it's only at level 15 when you run into it. But if you can, try to get some Great Balls or Ultra Balls. Quote:
About Psywave, for every level your Pokemon grows, the attack gets a little stronger.. by about 1-2 points. Edit ; Did a little more research.. It has to do with the user's HP and their level.. So say you had a level 100 Misdreavus with HP of 324, Psywave damage could be anywhere between 1 HP and 486 HP. |
Its platinum, so its level 20. i have a budew anyway since i take a roserade. but normal pokeballs seem to perform better than nest balls... anyway thanks. ill keep SR. its freakin' annoying. its kinda for getting me ready for giratina. (now that looks like blowing your brain off)
and rotom isn't a legend, but strangly the D/P booklet says it is.. |
Quote:
|
and still it has the legendary music in plat.
well we are offtopic here.. sorry >< EDIT : oh yeah, i have a question about two moves. if a pokemon uses quick attack and the second one uses sucker punch, who will strike first? |
Quote:
Also, to disable the Journal, you just need to have been playing for at least every other day. The journal only appears upon loading having not played for two days in a row. You can make it go away by saving. Quote:
Quote:
Sucker Punch and Quick Attack are both Stage 1 speed, meaning the faster Pokemon will make the first move. |
Quote:
Another option would be that the Pokemon with faster speed strikes first. |
Gracias muchacha. One more dumb question... Is it possible for me to get my pokemon from Cyrstal to Diamond. EX Crystal-Emerald-Diamond? Thanks again

During the transition from the GB games (R/B/Y/G/S/C) to Gen III (R/S/E/FR/LG), the game's code had a near complete re-haul with changes like the 510 EV system, natures, abilities, higher IVs, and a revamped shiny system. So, no.
Short and sweet version: No. |

If I had a Pokemon holding a Flame Orb and used Psycho Shift, would I keep the power boost that comes with the Flame Orb?
And also would the Burn status come back the next turn? Thanks. :) |
There is no benefit from Flame Orb other than being burned. All Pokemon that can learn Psycho Shift seem to not be able to gain any benefit from being burned. You might be thinking about how Pokemon with Guts or Quick Feet benefit from it (none of them can learn Psycho Shift).
Yes, it will come back as long as your Pokemon is holding the item. |
Almost complete Sinnoh Pokedex
Hi, I'm almost done with the pokedex in order to get the national one (and finally migrate my pokemons from greenleaf) but I need these in order to do so.
Does anybody know where can I find them? I already tried websites like serebii.net and such but they won't tell me if a trainer does have it or something more. Missing 005 122 146 147 148 151 152 168 169 And that's it. I think I know where 146-148 are but the rest I really don't know where. |
Actually, Serebii just put in place a page that tells you where exactly to find all the Sinnoh Dex pokemon, whether they're wild or a trainers.
http://www.serebii.net/platinum/nationaldex.shtml |
How do you get more shards instead of Underground?
I feel like I'm forgetting an easy way.. |

But I thought there was another man you could get some from..? Meh, maybe I'm just thinking about how the dude in Solaceon gives you Heart Scales |
What's that section on your trainer card that says score?
|

|
The guide also has some helpful tips, but i dont think you have that.

does anyone know where to get slowpoke and poliwhirl in platinum?
also how do you get the deepsea scale/fang? |
Slowpoke is found on route 205 via Pokeradar. Poliwhirl can be found on routes 227 and 228 by via Surfing.
In Diamond and Pearl, you could find DeepSeaScales on wild Chinchou, Lanturn and Relicanth; DeepSeaTooths on Carvanha and Sharpedo. The same should apply to Platinum. |
I need some help
can i delete hm moves in platinum?
|
Yes. The move deleter is in Canalave, the first house south of the Pokemon Center.
|
Is it possible to have a pokemon with a blank OT? I think then Gengar I just got was hacked. Still seems legit tho. No abnormally in its stats.
|
THX!
i should give u a poke for your help
|
Quote:
Chances are it's indeed hacked, or it's from Korea. Korean characters don't display on American Pokemon games. |
Poke Radar Pikachu
OK. Typically, the Poke Radar is used so that you can go out and catch shiny's or better yet, catch exclusive shinies. But my question is this could you use the Poke Radar to go Light Ball hunting? Discuss
|
Well, using the Pokeradar doesn't increase the chances of finding wild Pokemon with hold items. You could use the Pokeradar so that you would get a long chain of Pikachus and hope that one of them is holding a Light Ball (5% chance, btw), but that's pretty much it.
If your lead Pokemon has Compoundeyes, that increases the chance of finding a Pokemon with hold items. |
Or you just hopefully get lucky. But as said earlier, Light Balls are hard to find.
|
The easiest way to get a Pikachu is go to Trophy Garden with a Level 18 Pokemon at the top of your squad, and use some repels. You will only run into Pikachu's and the Pokemon of the day. If you take just two Pokemon with you (level 18 and your catching Pokemon such as Butterfree due to Compoundeyes) then you can catch a few and immediately see if they have a Light Ball. It worked for me on only my 3rd Pikachu. Also if you have a Shuppet with Frisk you can see what item it is holding.
|
Ooh, that helps me out a whole lot, thank you all for the insight
|
Hi I'm deciding on which version to get Diamond, Pearl or Platinum? What are the pros and cons of each version? I'd like to hear from people who've experienced playing any of the 3 games.
|
Pros of D/P: Cheaper. GTS cloning glitch
Platinum: Better in every other way Sounds kind of silly huh? The only time you'll hear D/P is "better" is because a person played D/P, got Platinum, and then didn't see much different and wanted their money back. |
OK, another Poke Radar question, I just caught 2 shinies, (Pikachu and Kricketune) and now I'm going after a Venonat, and the only way to catch it is with the Poke Radar, how can I tell what patch will have it in it? Or can I tell @ all?
|
Quote:
|
As far as I know, pokerader only pokemon will not have any difference grass patch wise.
|
*Sigh* Oh well, Volt Tackle will wait... Thanks a bunch
|
well i bred a team of:
staryu houndour aerodactyl snorlax elekid bulbasaur and i raised them all up to lvl 10 before i traded them to my platinum from diamond so i would have a team i love throughout the whole game without having to catch any pokemon, but for some reason, none of them will listen and i already have the first badge. I thought that after the first badge all pokemon up to lvl 20 would listen to you? |
Actually, the 2nd badge and that allows all Pokemon up to lv. 30 to obey without question. 4th is lv. 50, 6th is lv. 70, and 8th is all.
|
This is probably a stupid question but, I recently got pokemon battle revolution and platinum and I can send a surfing pikachu to platinum right?
|
Assuming that Platinum can receive the same Mystery Gifts as Diamond and Pearl, then yes. You need to beat the Stargazer Colosseum on your first playthrough. Then it will be unlocked in the shop. It will also know Volt Tackle, be Hardy Nature, female, and holding a Light Ball.

I'm thinking this is the right thread to ask...
During Wifi battles and all the rest of those wireless events, how is it decided what sprite is used to show your character? |
If you mean the avatars such as the ones in the Pal Pad, they are determined by your Trainer ID. It is used to generate 4 random trainer classes you can choose from. You can change this from a guy in the Oreburgh Pokemon Center I believe.
|
Is there a way to clone in Platinum without AR? Does the GTS glitch still work?
|
Need some questions answered.
Hi there
Just found this place and noticed it seems to have a nice community feel and thought I would post aquestion that may appear silly but are in a way stumping me about Pokemon Platinum and Pearl. - Are you able to find a group of Pokemon you like for a team (as in the graphic I guess), and then go and take moves from other Pokemon that your not terribly keen on but have great moves and give those to other Pokemon? I think I remember in Diamond there was a way to steal a move from a Pokemon you had and give it to another. Is this something I dreamed or is it possible? I am new to Pokemon and pretty much useless when it comes to the complexities of the game so if anyone is willing to give me some one on one help that would be awesome. Thanks for reading |
Quote:
There is a way to pass moves on to others that Pokemon may not normally have though, and that's via breeding and passing down the moves from that, rather than stealing moves. But its still rather limited and only for 'feasible' moves that suit the Pokemon (well, for the most part anyway); there are guides all over the internet if you search for them on how to do that, but it's certainly not the way you imagined. The link I posted in the last paragraph also lists these by the way, as 'Egg moves'. Hope that helps. |
can i trade/battle through an emulator when i have an internet connection?

Hey Im not sure if this goes here BUT I battled this kid at school today and well he won >< But the thing is he said he "bred" his spiritomb with Wonderguard :/ which makes no sense. His Tyranitar had Rough skin and His dragonite had Pure Power ( My Gardevoir Traced it) And they were also all shinys and killed my Pokemon in one hit and both had 500 hp. (I looked over) Cause now he thinks hes the best -.- Which annoys me lol( He also said that I was the only perso ever to kill 1 of his pokemon)
And It wont let me upload the video to Wifi cause theres "A problem with the recipients pokemon" This is sorta a Pride thingie :P soooooo yeah xD |

Wifi Battling!?!
Can you fight someone at random? or do you have to have Friend Codes?
|
You have to exchange Friend Codes to battle someone on Wi-Fi. Blame Nintendo's reliance on them. =/
|
You can also download real peoples trainer data at the battle tower.. I don't assume that would be considered the same although it is still wi-fi.
|
That's pretty lame.. Lol thank you though.
|
You can use PokeSAV to change your trainer ID and your sprite in the Union Room.
It would be safe to delete the program after. |
So today, I hatched an egg and when it hatched it showed as shiny. But when i view it's summary it isn't shiny... Whys that? (I've tried rehatching it 3 times, Each time it appears as shiny but isnt in the summary)
|
Mostly a glitch or [ that the game has no status of shines anymore. ( Most unlikely ) ]
|
Can you actually catch a Level 100 Magikarp somewhere, and is there a way to evolve it?
|
Yes. It's only in Platinum though and you have to use a Super Rod at the Resort Area. There is no way to evolve it if it's lv. 100.
|
Oh, that king of the Resort Area thing, I did that...
It was only Level 98 though... :( |
Quote:
How would you know it's one of the choices? The choices are trainer ID-specifc, and they only show 4 out of whatever amount of trainers. Also, it's a rough neck or whatever. Quote:
Could you elaborate on these "safety" issues with PokeSav? Purely out of curiosity and interest, of course. |
Sucks that you can't double battle over WiFi, also.
|
I'll cart this thing over the the Q&A thread where it belongs, and you may just get some more helpful answers. =D
*moves* |
Quote:
... If your trainer ID was the only thing you changed. Of course, you would need to edit the IDs of all of your Pokemon and the trainer sprite needs to correspond with the ID. |

Battle Factory?
Hey, you may think i am new but im not, i had an account befor the site hot a new look.
Anyway, Does anyone know if and where the battle factory is in platinum? |
Battle Frontier, silly goose. Top-right one.
|
Quote:
Sorry but that doesnt mean a thing to me.... |
You get there from the ship in Snowpoint City. And if you don't know where that is, check the Town Map.
|
I was about to ask the same question but i got my answer as well, thanks!
|
On the GTS, every search I made came up as a normal Pokemon etc. When looking at what pokemon the people wanted in return, I could see their location, the name of the Pokemon they are after and the gender. However, for every single search, the level they wanted did not show? Why is this?
|

Quote:
|
im just looking for a quick yes or no please, is this a good team for at the lost tower in platinum?
Aerodactyl lvl 27 houndoom lvl 28 starmie lvl 28 electabuzz lvl 30 snorlax lvl 26 ivysaur lvl 27 |

Platinum EV training locations?
Not sure if this goes here...oh well.
Are the EV training spots the same for Platinum and Diamond/Pearl? HP: Wooper/Quagsire pond(West of Pastoria, Woopers and Quagsires) Atk: Snowpoint-lakefront(West of Snowpoint, Machokes and Snovers) Def: Iron Island(Iron Island, Onix/Graveler/etc.) SpAtk: Golduck Pond(Resort Area, Golducks) SpDef: Tentacool lake(Southeast of Pastoria, Tentacools) Spd: Fight Area place(Northwest of Fight area, Fearows and Raticates) The only one I'm really iffy about is Golduck pond...is it still there? |
Well, that Scientist in the hidden bicycle path @ the route west of Pastoria has a Magneton and Alakazam now (as opposen to just two Alakazams). Many other trainers I used to train on aren't as efficient anymore. I just EV train on DP then ship them over to Platinum.
|
For Special Attack the best place is the Old Chateau, Gastly (1), Haunter (2), and Gengar (3).
|
i know, i wasnt really asking for beating lost tower but i meant just in general for lvls and pokemon for at that point in the game, lost tower/solaceon town
|
The HP spot doesn't work anymore, and the Resort Area Pond now has the occasional Psyduck.
|
Ok...so where is the best place for HP?
|
if i have a gardevoir, and i want to pass down shadow ball and thunderbolt to a ralts, it is female and males are supposed to passing down moves. can i breed with ditto and get the moves (i would rather try but i don't have a ditto yet)
|
Bidoof give off 1 HP EV, and they're really common. I use them.
|
Never mind, I found an FAQ on another site.
Mods can close this now, and we should add a platinum ev training section to our FAQ. |
