I have a Question about Shaymin Sky Forme.

Can you use it on Wifi when going Platinum to Platinum?
I know you can't when battling from Platinum to D/P
I've heard that the Sky Form of Shaymin can't be used on Wi-Fi at all.

Ugh. I must be on the wrong track?

I just finished up with Veilstone Gym, and I went to deal with the double battle with Galactic Grunts alongside Dawn...

After I beat them, Handsome (the detective guy, I think that's his name) ran up to us, Dawn left, and then he went into the warehouse. I grabbed HM02 and left. I went down Route 214 to Valor Lakefront and helped the lady find her suite key, and then headed into Pastoria. When I got there, I tried to get Defog in the Great Marsh (not realizing that it was in Solaceon Ruins now) and got a yellow shard. I then tried going into the gym, but my rival is standing in front of it, blocking the entrance.

I'm not sure what I missed, here, so please help!
Maybe a stupid question but have you defeated the Hearthome Gym?

I did that a while ago. Pretty sure I dealt with all the triggerable events in Hearthome too. (Bebe meeting you and giving you the Eevee, meeting Mom in the contest hall, defeating Fantina, etc.)

I'm pretty sure that you battle your rival there.

It's considered a legendary, thus excluding it from Wi-Fi battles.
Possibly because it is a forme of a legendary Pokemon and that it has much higher stats.

Um, legendaries are allowed in Wi-Fi battles. :/

That has absolutely nothing to do with it.

The term legendary was never a term to judge a Pokemon's power. Take a look at Phione, for example. 80 in all stats, but it's a legendary. Does that mean it should be banned? No. The competetive battling environment is divided into TIERS. Tiers are three main groups of Pokemon (four if you include BL) that separate fully evolved Pokemon judging upon their strengths. Since the standard battle is of the Overused environment, only members of the Uber Tier are banned from standard battles. Anyways, the term legendary makes a Pokemon sound strong. It was never a term to determine strength, although it may sound that way. After you get a good introduction to the competetive battling environment, you'll understand it better. Anyways, Skymin being banned on WiFi has nothing to do with its tier or legendary status. It's probably because Diamond and Pearl don't have Skymin's data in the cartridge.

Weird, Then those Battle Recordings I saw on Wifi must have been of Local play battles. I saw quite a few battles where it was Platinum vs. Diamond/Pearl and Sky Forme was present.

EDIT:Also I don't think its an issue with the games. Its very simple for the game to display a Shaymin Land Forme Sprite, read the stasts the way they are, read the abilities the way they are and etc.

I think its a server issue. I think the sever that holds the Wifi battles has yet to be updates with new Pokemon data, thus why all new Alternate forme Pokemon are excluded from Wifi.

There are a few Pokemon that you can't catch in Diamond and Pearl.

Misdreavus
Mismagius
Murkrow
Honchkrow
Glameow
Purugly
Stunky
Skuntank
Trapinch
Vibrava
Flygon
Clamperl
Huntail
Gorebyss

Data was retrieved from Serebii.net. According to serebii, this isn't a finalized list, so there may be more missing Pokemon in the game. The list of Pokemon previously mentioned was the ones that Serebii is sure that are missing from Platinum.

if you can only get the regis w/ the movie gigas and can only get glacidias flower w/ the movie shaymin, how are we supposed to get them when the movies were in Japan?

New question - How do I record Umbreon AND Leafeon in my Pokedex?
does anyone know, I have like 7 guys left till I get my national dex, but 2 of them are leafeon and umbreon, and obviously I only have 1 eevee... if there is a trainer that has either of them that wud be great to know...

Qwerty-117: Ok u have a few options,
Bring them over from D/P (if you've migrated already)
Migrate from R/S/E
Trade with someone who got the movie Regigigas

and I don't think the flower is with the movie, is it?

2 trainers on the rainy route to the west of Pastoria have them. One has Espeon and Umbreon and the other has Leafeon.

perhaps they'll change that? >.>

Or perhaps it'll be Japan Exclusive.

If you want to obtain the full PokeDex data for them, read the following.

Umbreon
Eevee will evolve into Umbreon when you max out its happiness during the nighttime. That means, when Eevee levels up after it's maximum happiness has been reached, it will evolve into Umbreon.

Leafeon
There is a mossy rock (The Moss Rock) in the Eterna City. When you level your Eevee up one level after a battle nearby the Moss Rock, it will evolve into Leafeon.

I see that you have only one Eevee. You can put them in the Solaceon Town day care with a ditto to breed for another one. Ditto can be found in the grassy patch just east of Canalave City through the use of the PokeRadar.
