Have a question about Mienshao:

Was thinking of restarting and using this pokemon in my team, but I'm not sure if I should try to get one with adamant nature, neutral nature, or a modest nature...
Would it be worth balancing out it's attack and sp.attack to make use of Aura Sphere, or since it is rather limited in it's sp. attack learnset just go with adamant and forget Aura Sphere?
It's Special attack isn't all that bad so a mix could work but if I was you I would go with Adament as Attack is it's highest stat plus it's strongest moves are physical like Hi kick which it can take advantage of.


Yeah I figured Adamant would be better... Aura Sphere is neat and all, but only Lucario has the right stats for it apparently...



Also, I have ANOTHER question type thing...
I'm planning on restarting my game, and am making an unorthodox team for this run, so far this is how I've planned it:
Mienshao - Physical
Venipede - Physical
Swanna - Mix
Chandelure - Special
Hydreigon - Special
Gothitelle - Special

Does this seem like a plausible/rational setup? (My lack of a grass type is because of my hatred for grass types... Also, I like colors.)
This is a plausible team specially seeing that one of them is a Pseudo which would give you a strong back up ^_^
Also Chandelure is a decent pokemon due to it's high Special attack ^_^

focus punch is only good if your opponent is slower, cause if it gets a hit in first the move is wasted

Focus Punch will always go last so speed isn't a factor. You'd have to have a substitute to take a hit or correctly predict they're not gonna attack you.

-How do i get to Anville Town? or is that the place where the battle train stops for a rest?

-What's the Entralink in the center of Unova and how do I get there?

Just that it seems.

-How do i get to Anville Town? or is that the place where the battle train stops for a rest?

The Battle Subway Brown Line stops there.

-What's the Entralink in the center of Unova and how do I get there?

It is connected to the Dream World, where you meet pokemon you've met there to capture them, it also has something to do with "Entree", but I don't have the ability to use wireless on my DS so I have no real idea on that...

Not sure about the walls, but that is all you get from there. However, the most expensive item in any Pokemon game ever is found there.

-How do i get to Anville Town? or is that the place where the battle train stops for a rest?

The train does stop for a rest there, as you learn in Anville Town, but you can still get there. Take the brown line in the Battle Subway. Nothing much to do there when it's not a weekend.

-What's the Entralink in the center of Unova and how do I get there?

It's an area for people to interact wirelessly with nearby friends. To get to it, you press Wireless, then Entralink on your C-Gear, but you can only really use it in conjunction with a friend or to catch Dream World Pokemon that you brought over from the internet.

-Where's the best place to train Pokemon lv60-70?

Every day the people in the stadium in Nimbasa reset, there are 5 or so and each have a few Pokemon in the low 60s. In Undella you can fight a bunch of rich people as well which have similarly leveled Pokemon. In addition, in Giant Chasm there are the highest level Audinos in the game, low 50s. I usually just do the stadium and Undella mansion every day, and then do things outside of leveling after I've defeated everyone until the next day.

I heard on a forum that a Cherish Ball if you end up getting them and use them on a Pokemon you catch it instantly makes it a shiny Pokemon. Is this true?

Its definitely not. Don't believe them. You can only get a shiny if you encounter it as a shiny, or when you cheat/hack.
