Thanks for the advice earlier.
Tried 20 resets to find my calibration time.
I guess it's normal that these 20 times have over 10 different outcomes? XD

I'm having trouble beating whiteny's milktank. I need a good pokemon that is good against normal attacks. Right now I have:

Quilava level 25 move set is:

Headbutt
quick attack
smoke screen
flame wheel

Quagsire level 20

Water gun
slam
mud bomb
mudshot

others I have a Zubat and a pinecon untrain. I all so have a bellsprout level 15 with vine whip, poisonpowder, cut, and sleep. Perhaps can I borrow someone's pokemon. If so vm me. Thanks

Well a helpful note is unless this is a challenge try to get more pokemon,also what exactly is the problem it seems to me like those pokemon could beat whitney I've solo'd whitney with just a level 24 Quilava with a near identical move set.
As for help try to catch a nidoran either gender just make sure it has poison point as they can both learn double kick which is super effective against miltank and they will have a chance to poison it if it makes physical contact which her miltank has to.

hope I helped

Try to put as many 'Smoke Screen' as possible, this really helps, then when your Quilava is at red health heal. Just keep healing and stalling till you think that Miltank's accuracy is low enough to start attacking. On another note Mudbomb also lowers the accuracy.

X Items also help. Try to use as much as you can while battling the Clefairy.

Just like two posters above recommended and I'd also recommend this:
Catch Drowzee (he's in grass patches on Route 35) and trade him for Machop in Goldenrod's Mart =)

Mind me asking, what happens when we lose a battle to an Elite 4 member? I know we will have to restart the challenge but is it true we also lose like half our money or something?

Yes, you have to restart the challenge, and you'll lose half your money... just like with any other Pokemon battle, really.

Here's a tip: Deposit all of your money with your Mum before you take the E4 challenge. That way if you lose, you effectively don't lose any money. Plus you actually gain some if you've got the 'send money to Mum' switched on, since every battle you win some money gets sent to your Mum and it's safe there.

You could also grind a bit more, really. My whole team of 6 was level 60-65 when I first took them on, that way the elite 4 wasn't all that hard. Or, if you train that dratini of yours a bit, you could easily win, since dragon types have an advantage over other dragon types, or you could go and train an ice type from the Ice Path. Since it's quite dangerous to rely on a dragon to defeat a dragon if you have low levels.

Wasn't the money losing changed?
Instead of losing half your money, you lose what you can gain.
So if a trainer would give you 5000 when you win you would lose 5000 when you lose.
Atleast, that's what I think I've experienced (I didn't lose half my money neither when all my pokemon were ko'd against a wild pokemon).

I know the concept would apply for regular instances.
I think Timer Balls work after 15turns have passed

Well I just navigated through Victory Road however my strongest Pokemon is Level 40. Do you think I can take on the Elite 4 xD? Anyone know any good spots to train for them?
Depends on if you have a good strategy. My team of 40-45 had little trouble with the E4. Just plan out a good strategy

Probably your strategy. I'll assume your Pokemon are male too which would mean Attract gets to them. You should try using Quagsire's Special attacks to take down Clefairy and use that Bellsprout of yours to inflict status on Miltank before letting Quagsire and Quilava take it head on. Play on Quagsire's higher offensive stat but Quilava will have to rely on his Atk seeing as all of his attacks are physical

It's been a long time since I posted but I got Soul Silver a couple of days ago and have kidnapped my Brother's DSL to play it. I wish my DSi wasn't broke, I woulda got SS a long time ago.

Anyhooo, I need some help please :)! I'm about to go up against the Elite 4 and was wondering if this team in okay...

1) Lapras - Lvl 53 - Thunderbolt/Ice Beam/Thunderbolt/Perish Song

2) Alakazam - Lvl 51 - Psybeam/Signal Beam/Focus Blast/Grass Knot

3) Bayleef - Lvl 50 - Cut/Synthesis/Razor Leaf/Magical Leaf

4) Fearow - Lvl 42 - Mirror Move/Fly/Pursuit/Aerial Ace

Then I can have one more but I'm not sure what to add to be honest.

Hope this is the right place to ask and if it's wrong I'd appreciate being told where to put it ^_^ Thank you xox

Seems very balanced. And the levels are good - I managed the E4 with Lv. 45 average so you shouldn't have a problem. Fearow might benefit from a small bit of levelling up (maybe to Lv. 45+), but it seems OK. Just remember to take bucket-loads of items and deposit all your money with your Mum so, in case you lose, you don't lose any coinage. Keep that Ice Beam in Lapras handy because it will save your life against Lance.

Bear in mind at this particular stage of the game it's very difficult, but not impossible, to add another member to your team from scratch, considering that all you've got to battle against is whoever bothers to call you up and wild pokes in Victory Road. However, if you were to add another member, I would say a Fighting-type for use against Dark-type user Karen. Other than that you've got all bases covered. Good Luck! :)

Thanks you guys!

I'm thinking I'll add a fighting type before I go charging in, I'll see what my brother can give me ^_^ If I added a sixth, would you say a Butterfree w/ Compoundeyes ability + Choice Scarf as my first out would be a good idea? I think with that set up Sleep powder has like a 95% accuracy rate or near enough, I used a similar set-up during DPPt but I'm unsure how effective it'd be here. I have a Butterfree with a 31 IV in speed from the Bug Catching comp and so I think with a bit of EV training in speed, it'd be a nice addition and slow my enemies down anyway.

Again, thanks for the help :) xox

Yes, you can (someone posted a picture of a shiny from the Pokewalker in the HGSS Shiny Pokemon thread in fact if you want to look there). The only 'debate' with it is if the chances are the same as normal (1 in 8192), or if you can only have shiny Pokemon if your Trainer ID and 'secret id' is specific to a few possible combinations which might change the chance to 1 in 32, but on the flip side it'd be very unlikely to have said numbers - otherwise the chance is 0).

Question about Safari Zone. I'm trying to catch Riolu, but let's face it 70 days is meh. To my understanding pushing your DS clock forward 24hrs doesnt count towards your days in game..But what if I set the clock to like 23:59 and let the day pass while I'm in the game, do you think that would count towards the 70?

That worked in DP for daily events, so it should work in HGSS too.
