My bad. Thanks for clearing that up ^.^ |
Alright, I have a question about the villa in platinum. To get the clock, it says I have to plant 50 berries. Do I have to wait until the berries are fully grown, or will just planting 50 berries in soil allow me to get the clock?
|
Is there any way to teach Milotic Baton Pass.

Mystery Gift?
Hi I'm new to the game and I have a question. So my question is what is mystery gift? and how do I get it?
|
Mystery Gift information can be found here:
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mystery_Gift#Generation_IV |
What are the best natures and why for each rotom form, including normal rotom? I'm about to SR for mine and I want to know which I should get.
|
Platinum Question
I know this rules for all III/IV games, but, when using exp share on a pokemon that does not battle, does he/she/it still get EV's?
another question, what's the ratio between attack EV points and Attack points? along w/ another >.< is it the same for all stats? |
Yup. Exp. Share pokemon are still getting EV's. Just not as much obviously (Exp. and EV Share then)
I believe its 4 EV for +1 stat. So yeah, same for all stats. |
Yes, it does. And it will be doubled if the pokemon has PokeRus.
4 EV points = One Stat point. I THINK the max for each stat is 252 EV points/63 stat points. |
The max is actually 255 I believe, but if you max out two stats like that, you won't have enough left over for +1 on a third stat
|
Um, ty for the info, and rare candies are evil, right?
|
If you've maxed out your EVs, no their not.
|
Quote:
|
Timid would be good, it lowers attack and raises speed.
From viewing Bulbapedia, it looks like even the new forms' attack stat is still garbage so I wouldn't use it much. When does Scizor learn Bullet Punch in Diamond? |
Quote:
In Platinum only, it learns it at level 1. |
In that case, would you say Metal Claw is a good alternative to Bullet Punch for Scizor since I only have Diamond?
|
A pokemon can have a maximum of 510 EVs. You can certain EVs from certain pokemon.
For example, you can get 2 HP EVs by defeating a Quagsire. 4 EVs=1 stat point. Yes, the pokemon with Exp. Share still gets EVs. You shouldn't use rare candies until you've fully EV trained your pokemon. Rare candies won't give your pokemon EVs. |
Quote:
Metal Claw has 50 power and has a chance to raise attack. Iron Head has 80 power and a chance to flinch the opponent (though Scizor isn't the fastest thing). Both have 100 accuracy. So take your pick. If he has Technician, I'd pick Metal Claw. |
Quote:
If you want, I can help you get bullet punch, since I have platinum. Quote:

how come i have pokerus on all my pokemon one second then i look again at them the next day when i wake up and pkrs is gone and theres a lititle sad smiley face in the bottom right hand corner.

I'll be getting Platinum soon, and I'm wondering if I'm able to trade over some Pokémon from the national dex (like Cyndaquil) over from the start, or will I have to wait until I finally get the national dex before I can trade them over. I need this information to know which Pokémon eggs I should prepare on my Pearl game. Thanks in advance... |
Quote:
After some time of the pokemon having it, it goes away. The only way for you to prevent it is to put the pokemon with Pkrs in the PC. That means it can't go when inside the computer =] |

Good Idea Or No?
Is it a good idea to Train your Pokemon while its in its First State, Without Evolving it, so it can learn the moves Faster?
Example. My Shinx - Lv: 27. Im Leveling it to level 29 So i can teach it Thunder Fang Earlier, instead of level 42 When Luxray learns it. Then im going to evolve it at level 30 and 31 So then i can have my LuxRay. is that a good idea? because i went through the pokedex in the Game Guide. and it says that most pokemon can learn its strongest move in first State almost 20 Levels before the 3rd State pokemon. Is this okay doing this, or should i evolve and wait? :) |
Why do the altered forms have competitive move-sets but change back when in Union Rooms and WiFI Clubs?
|
Quote:
|
Well, on appearance, this seems like a good idea. But in actuality, it depends on where you are in the game. If you're making a competitive team for online play, after you beat story mode, It's fine to do that and train it nicely... On the opposite side, however, it's tough to do that while playing through the story and beating Gym Leaders, Rivals, Team Galactic, etc. They'll murder your Shinx with their fully evolved pokemon... It'll keep dieing and you can't really train him since he's (assuming it's a boy) so weak... I tried that with my turtwig but it was a complete joke when I went up against Gardenia. Yes. Gardenia. For Thunder Fang, you can just go to a move tutor or give a heart scale who teaches forgotten moves. I believe Luxray automatically has Thunder Fang and Fire Fang once evolved? |
I agree with Penumbra, it all depends on what you're doing with the story. If you want to get it done quickly, it's not a good idea. But if you want to take your time/don't mind taking your time, then I'd say it's a great idea. ^^ |
Okay I hear that but it does it with Platinum too.
|
Quote:
|
So when Ev training, all I need to do is fight the X amount of pokemon for their evs once right? Meaning after I've got the ev points I'm free to fight whichever pokemon I want and ev training is not an ongoing thing all the way to 100?
And which berries reset the EVs so I can start over/how many do I need? |

Can anyone tell me how to catch a Ditto in Platinum? I hear East of Canalave, PokeRadar. Then Trophy Garden, PokeRadar.
What is the certain way to get Ditto? |

I talked to him this morning and he said the same. Do I have to wait for him to change his saying? |
Quote:
In other words, Azurill being chosen twice was merely a fluke. ...Or are you saying that he was still insisting on Azurill being in the garden? |
Quote:
So I guess I have to wait a full day correct? |
Quote:
Either way, you should wait until tomorrow morning and then try again. |

Nothing much to do but to wait. |
Help Me in This!!!!!!!!
IN Platinum for the 3rd gym, (the ghost one), how do you beat it?
GO DRAGONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Dark pokemon...get an umbreon or something...
If you have the patience,evolve a Buneary and keep forsight. Forsight+Physical attack=WIN |
Ummm... wha?
(Going by Platinum) Duskull is easily taken care of, if you ask me, so there's no real strategy involved. Haunter, with its dual Poison type, is taken out quickly by any powerful (preferably STABed) Psychic type move (Kadabra will always win against Haunter, for example). Mismagius is just a pain. My suggestion is to bring along a decent Dark Pokemon who can hold its own offensively. I'm not sure about its moveset in the gym, but if its allowed to Calm Mind up, it can be a real pain to take down, so hit it hard and fast. This is slightly risky, but another Ghost Pokemon could viably be helpful, although you better make sure it can get the very first hit, and make that hit a good one! In general, against Mismagius, its best if you have something that can take a few hits. If you can whittle her down enough, a fast and strong blow at the end could make a win for you. |
a Little Problem
Hello my problem is when you trad a pokemon from Pokemon Diamond to Platinum
the pokemon that you have traded will be vain ,, and proud and start sleeping in the fight and ignore your orders ... what is the solution ?? and what should I do ?? thanks :) |
Pokemon obedience is determined by gym badges (and maybe happiness, I'm not sure)
2 badges - Pokemon up to lvl 30 will obey 4 badges - up to lvl 50 6 badges - up to lvl 70 8 badges - all will obey |
ponyta with flamewheel will work pretty well i would think, i'm not sure i leveled all my pokemon up to lv30~ before that gym =x
|
aha but if my pokemon is under the 30es
shall I train him until he goes to the 30 or finishing 2 badges is ok ..? thanks for posting :) |

Older gen player seeking guidence
Hello again guys, as i have never stepped out of the realms of pokemon red/blue/yellow/fire red and Leaf green i am completely oblivious to the new selection of pokemon on the ds games Diamond/Pearl and the up and coming platinum.
I am soon to buy a DS, one for me and one for my Girlfriend because we love battling with each other on our gba's on fire red/green and we have gotten each other rather over excited about the idea of playing on a brand new DS. Now getting to the point of my post....i am after some help on the titles on the ds as i am not sure which one we each should get, knowing very little about the pokemon passed the 150 mark i have no idea which games have which pokemon and would very much appreciate it if someone could briefly fill me in with some info on these games and perhaps some suggestions could be made to which we should get (for example i dont know if platinum is a different game world all together to diamond and pearl which i am guessing are more advanced equivelants to red/blue). Thanks in advance |
Well, Platinum is to Diamond/Pearl as Yellow is to Red/Blue. It's an update version of the game with some new features and storyline elements. If you're going to start with one, I'd suggest Platinum as it is the most finely polished one of the new generation and has the largest selection of Pokémon.
Perhaps the biggest change you'll notice beyond the addition of Pokémon is that attacks are no longer physical or special based on their type, but by the actual attack. For example: Ember is a special Fire move and Fire Punch is a physical Fire move. Other than that, just glance over the instruction manuals and glance over the FAQs stickied in this forum. Take advantage of the stickied Q&A thread for any simple questions you might come across while playing. And above all, have fun with the games. |
I would definately get platinum, It has more pokemon in it. But there are pokemon that can't be obtained in Platinum but can in Dimond or Pearl.
But you could always trade on wi-fi for those There's also a little more content on Platinum. By the way, If you like your fire red/leaf green pokemon and want to use them on your DS game, I would go with at least one DS lite so you can import you're GBA pokemon, but if you plan on keeping pokemon on your GBA games a DSi wouldn't affect you, or maybe one of each. |
I'm going to EV train a lvl 1 pokemon, so my plan was to Exp. Share lvl it once to level it up quite a bit and then get rid of the EVs it gained with berries. So my question is how many EVs do those certain berries reduce?
|
Quote:
|
thanks for the speedy replies, i will look into getting platinum :) and a ds lite was all we could afford for the moment anyway i'm not really interested in the camera functions of the dsi i just really want to play the new games and get to grips with 150+ pokemon :)
|
2 Questions :D
1. In Pastora...when you stand inside the Croagunk poster...sometimes a random Croagunk will just run into the Safari Zone. Whats that all about?
2. In the Commercial...you see the character riding a Piplup boat...where is that and how do I get to it? Im hoping for FAST replies! Thanks! |
I don't know about the croagunk thing, but i think its catchable in platinum, but the piplup boat is in the wifi plaza. there's a certain amount of time you can stay in there and once the alotted time is up, you go on the boat and ride out of the plaza.
|
For the second question, that would be the Wi-fi Plaza, a new addition to wi-fi connection. It is found on the bottom center of the Pokemon Center. Here, you can spend an amount of time everyday with up to 20 players in a random room playing different minigames. More details can be found here.
|
Any answer to the first question?
|
Do synchers work on mesprit?
|

Quote:
|
Synchronize increases the rate of encountering wild Pokemon with the same nature. You're not technically "encountering" it, since it runs away after you first see it. Therefore, synchronize should have no effect on roamers.
|
Quote:
This includes Zapdos, Moltres, Articuno, Cresselia, and Mesprit. |
darn, thanks for the responses! :)
|
I think you'll really enjoy the fourth generation because you've pretty much missed out on the two in between so you have a lot to discover.
|
Alright, a quick question
Has anyone else noticed a movement permission error in platinum? I noticed it on Route 225, it's two trees near two cut trees. There's a space where you should be able to walk, but you can't.. EDIT: Just noticed why. In diamond, the tree's closer to the stairs than it is in platinum.. And nintendo forgot to fix the movement permissions. |
Hey all, I just got Platinum, and I've heard that you can K.O. Giratina, Dialga, and Palkia without fretting. I have heard that you can defeat them, and then return to the Distortion World/Spear Pillar to re-capture them. Is this true?
|
Hey all! I'm trying to train level 50's to level 60's in Platinum. I don't want to run them through the E4 because I want the first time they go through the E4 as level 60's (I already beat the E4 once). Does anyone have any suggestions? I've been VS Seeking Spamming the Lopunny trainer on Route 222, which gives 5500+ exp (Pokemon was traded, plus Lucky Egg), but it takes four or five VS Seeks to get her to battle, and it's taking too long.
Thanks for any answers!! |

Question about battling on Platinum.
I battled a friend yesterday, and he had a level 70 garchomp.. and all my guys were mid 50's. I looked all around, but is their a way to do a all pokemon level 100 battle like you could on d/p? |
Quote:
|
Ohh. Got it.. Yeah we we're local battling.. That's stupid how you can't make them all 100... Why couldn't they just add that in!!!!
|
What do people do and where do people go to raise their pokemon to lvl 100? Stark Mountain? Elite 4?
|
Quick question again about EV training.
I have 10 of each stat booster. Since you can only max out 2 stats via EV training, I should only give my Pokemon 2 stat boosters(10 each) and leave it at that? Because I'm thinking if I exceed 20 stat boosters, extra boosters will take up more EV's correct? Which means I won't be able to max out 252 on a stat after I give it 10 boosters, right? |
Quote:
Quote:
|
Quote:
Therefore at LV. 1, I would give it 10 Calcium and 10 Iron(forget if these are the correct names but lets just keep it at that for sake of argument). Which leaves 152 Ev's left for the Sp. Attack and Sp. Def stat. Now after that, say if I were to give it 10 Hp Up, which will put 100 EV's for HP. This will then subtract how much potential EV's I can give to my Magby's Sp. Attack and Sp. Def correct? So it would be wise to only keep it at 2 stats to give 100 EV's with stat boosters. |
Quote:
...Oh, and just for the record, the names that you were looking for are Calcium and Zinc. |
Quote:
I knew I had the names mixed up. :D |
Quote:
|
Yes. Starting at lv. 41, you'll have a 10% chance of Picking up a Rare Candy. Also, you can exploit Emerald's easy to use cloning glitch if you have it.
Personally, I prefer sticking a Lucky Egg on my Pokemon and battling that one trainer with a Blissey on the Sandstorm Route (Route 228) since I get a boatload of experience from that. |
Quote:
Since, theoretically, nothing you do can adversely affect your stats after you have finished EV training, you can just battle things if you want... But I find Rare Candies a lot easier. |
Quote:
Correction. It's the Rich Boy and the Lady that have the Rare Candies (or maybe it is the Maids and I just don't know). Also, they both have Blissey and if their Pokemon get stronger after Vs. Seeker rematches (not 100% sure on this), then they are really good candidates for exp. grinding. |
im trying to clone,and ive cloned twice before using the GTS/CLOCK method (wait for the clock hand to spin 8 times then turn off ds.
But now,whenever i try to clone, when i get back on to GTS, it says "Deposit" can anyone tell me what im doing wrong PS:i also ,get the "corrupted file message |
Quote:
|
Can someone explain the full effects of the move substitute? Like when does it fade? Is there a max amount of turns/ damage? How does it calculate how much HP it takes away from you. If you get hit by hail/sandstorm does it screw it up. Ect.
|
Substitutes take 1/4 of a Pokemon's HP when used and can take up to that amount. It won't fade after a certain amount of turns. Only when damage equal or greater than 1/4 of the Pokemon's HP is taken. Since the Pokemon takes damage during weather affects like Hail, it can be assumed that the Substitute doesn't take any damage.
|
Quote:
|
Okay cool.
Yeah I'm using it for my Jolteon Shadow Ball T-Bolt Substitute Baton Pass. Thanks for the help. That clears up all the questions I had! |
Quote:
|
Can a pokemon remember a move that it learned by TM?
|
Quote:
|
someone told me to ask in here, so which pokemon would be used best for competitive battling in a team of 6?
Salamence Dusknoir Electivre Jolteon Rhyperior Metagross Golem Milotic Lugia Camerupt Tyranitar Cresselia Zapdos Ho oh Just which ones out of those and i didnt wanna post in the moveset thread because i dont need help with that i just need help making a team out of all of those. |
No one can make a recommendation for a team just based on a list of species. the role it plays, availability to the player, etc... matters much more.
I'd suggest going to the Rate My Team a few forums down. They have a thread for this type of stuff where you can get recommendations, but you'll need to be much more specific than "*list of pokes* so which one????" |
