Elite Four help

What would be the best Pokemon team to take on the Elite Four in Pokemon Black? The Elite Four use dark, psychic, fighting, and ghost. I tried beating them once but I only beat the fighting type trainer. Can anyone help me out?

I'm currently breeding for a Jolly Scraggy w/ IV31's in HP, Atk, and Speed. I have a Scraggy that I'm breeding that's Jolly w/ IV31's in Sp Def and Speed. Would it be better to get the IV's I want first, then look for the nature, or for me to breed for the IV's while keeping the nature?

You can't use your bike in the Battle Subway, so it would take significantly more time to hatch eggs in there.

The best place I can think of is getting on your bike and going through Skyarrow Bridge.

They asked specifically for places other than Skyarrow Bridge, and places where they wouldn't exit the area if they kept going without paying attention. I personally don't use that area because I go to the Airfield, but if you're not playing your game for a bit, you could easily go into the Subway, weigh down the button to run, and walk away for 10-15 min. If you're actively paying attention to the game it's not optimal, but if you want to hatch with literally minimal effort, the Subway is the way to go because you can hatch without even being there.

1. Go to the lab on Route 15 (east of Nimbasa) and talk to the scientist there to activate the Poké Transfer.
2. Turn on the DS with HeartGold in it (if you've set it to start the game automatically, you'll have to disable the setting temporarily) and go to "DS Download Play".
3. Download the Poké Transfer program to the second DS.
4. Choose six Pokémon from your PC in HeartGold to transfer to White.
5. You'll have to play a mini-game to capture the Pokémon. The Pokémon will jump out from behind the bushes and you'll have to hit them with a Poké Ball. If you see a little pink cloud, you can hit that with a Poké Ball to put all the Pokémon to sleep; this will allow you to catch them without waiting for them to jump out.
6. Once you've caught all six Pokémon or the time runs out, you can transfer all of the Pokémon you caught to White or replay the mini-game. Even if you don't catch all of them before the time runs out, the ones you did catch can still be transferred without having to re-catch all six (but you'll have to choose a new set of six Pokémon to use the Transfer again).

The issue w/ hatching w/o you being there is that the game stops when an egg hatches.

do any of them have hm moves? if they do, then that will probably be why it says that. you can't transfer pokemon with hm moves.

But if you're not doing anything except waiting for the egg to hatch anyway, then the game would be stopped after you reach the point you want, you come back, press A, everything's fine, I don't see the problem.

You should now have a Japanese Pokédex entry for Ditto if it's Japanese. Also, how many letters does its name have? Japanese Pokémon can't have names longer than 5 characters. If you nickname a Pokémon in a japanese version in Romaji the letters will also look a bit different.
Though the Pokedex entry should be the main indicator of the Ditto's origin.

EV training Zoroark

I have obtained a Zoroark and was wondering how I could best EV train him. I was wondering whether or not I should maximise his speed and then share the rest of his EVs between his spec atk and base atk. Or should I maximise just his speed and spec atk? He knows the moves foul play and night slash. Are these not physcial moves which require an attack stat? Can someone help me out.

This thread is for questions about the games, not PC. Instead, just send a vm or a pm to one of those members with these thumbnails (idk, I don't see anyone with thumbnails, rather sprites, maybe explain better...?) and ask them how they did it.

I used to be part of a trading forum much like PC, so I have boxfuls of EV'd and Shinies on my Platinum and I want to transfer them to BW. However, I do not believe each and every one is hack checked and someone said that if I transfer Pokémon to BW it "converts" them. What exactly does that mean? :/

Question:

Is there a tier list of sorts for the movement speed of Pokemon when being PokeTransfered?

Not that that I find it difficult. Would like to know if the Pokemon have set movement speed or if it randomizes.

Nimbasa City.

one of the houses just up and left, behind the Pokemon center.

the correct house has an Ace Trainer at a table

the wrong house has a trainer near a wandering Krokorok
