Does running increase the encounter rate, and if so, does anyone know how much by?

Thanks in advance!

Yeah, it increases; I don't know the exact percentage, though. An NPC says that using a Bicycle or Running Shoes in tall grass will alert Pokemon due to the loud sound they make. Not sure about this functionality in caves, though. Since you're also making more ground in the same time, you're effectively getting a double bonus to wild battles as well.

Is there a way to increase the Chances Of Getting Rustling Grass? or an item that does it.

Help raising lvl 100 stats

I imported a lvl 100 Shaymin from SS to White and its stats seemed relatively low to me. I checked to see its max stats when fully EV trained and my shaymin's stats aren't even close to the max. I think this might be cause I used vitamins. Anyway I tried EV training my hp first at Icarus city (current 320/ max 340) but after killing quite a few even with a macho brace, the hp of my shaymin remained the same. Is there any way that I can continue raising the stats of my shaymin?

EVs only affect stats after you've leveled up, and even then it's spread out. You could do a full 255 EVs (the most that can be used on one specific stat, btw) for a stat in one level but the stat isn't going to magically go up to its max once you go up one level -- it just increases slightly with each level you go up. Because your Pokemon is lvl100 now, the only way to make those EVs go into effect is the Box Trick (not sure if this works in B/W though), just put it in the box and take it back out and its stat should go up because its stats are recalculated every time it goes in the box. But like I said I don't know if this works in 5th gen.

It sounds to me like you need to do a little more research on EVs and how they work. This guide would be a good place to start.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that EVs are automatically calculated after battles in B/W and the box trick didn't make a difference.

Master Ball Time!

Hey guys, I have a question. I got a Master Ball from Prof. Juniper and I'm currently working on the league. I just wanted to know if I should use my Masterball on Zekrom (I'm using Pokemon White) or should I save it for any other legendary Pokemon's to capture within future progress of the game? I don't know if this would help but here's my Pokemon team for Pokemon White:

Lv. 55 Emboar

Lv. 45 Carracosta

Lv. 45 Unfezant

I know, I know. Only three pokemon with two of them not really high enough for the league. But I made it this far didn't I?

Hopefully whoever reads this can help.

Thanks!

Personally I would save it for roaming legendaries, but ultimately it is up for you to decide.

Hmm... You're right. thanks for the quick reply! Jut asking witch are the wandering legend's? I haven't got the game until recently.

No, Zekrom's catch rate is pretty high, you'd be better off saving the Master Ball for your roaming Pokemon.

As of now it's Tornadus(if your playing Black) and Thundurus(if your playing White). If I remember correctly they roam in the North part of the region during the night and the South part during the day. So it may not be as hard to encounter one over and over as say the Dogs, or Lati@s duo.

is ther any way for me to transfer poekmon from a 5th gen game, to a 4th gen? i know how to do it from 4th to 5th but not the other way around:( any help would be great thanks

Korean Pokemon

Are they allowed to be traded out of Korea in this generation? and if their not would you consider Korean Pokemon to be hacked if obtained by a N/A game?

Im not sure if this is in the right thread....

Nope, it isn't possible to transfer them from 5th gen back to 4th gen.

It would be awesome if you could transfer from a 5th to a 4th. But don't you need to beat the league or something first before you can transfer from any generation?

Sorry what's a berry row? I am new to the Pokemon scene.

I plan on getting a 5th Gen game on my birthday (soon-ish-ly), I'm just wondering which pokemon you can't get on White (which I'm leaning more toward) and which pokemon you can't get on Black. I'm just asking so I can have a more educated choice and not slap my self in the head when I can't get an awesome looking pokemon.
