4th Gen Diamond / Pearl Q&A Thread

[Swift!]

Not that I know of, you MIGHT be able to but I'd doubt it.

Yeah, I don't think it's possible either. I'm just way too gullible... =X

 

[Pharue]

I have a question for an espeon...would substitute be better than morning sun or hp ice?

Depends on the type of Espeon you're trying and your play style, really.

 

[Dukey]

Morning sun doesn't do much in in-game pokemon, but if competitive then both are a good option.

 

[El Gofre]

Morning sun is generally moot in competetive play, since sandstorm is all over the place now. 25% recovery doesn't usually stretch very far.

STUPID QUESTION ALERT!

I heard somewhere that people could watch Wi-Fi battles as they are going on, like there can be an audience for a match. Is this true, or am I just being an idiot? =P

With Platinum, you can record them and upload them to a Wi-Fi server, so others can watch them. But you can't watch on-going battles.

For Zangoose, have Ruby inserted in the GBA slot of the DS and you can find it in Route 208. The same route for Seviper except Sapphire needs to be inserted.

He is in a house in Pastoria. He charges 1 Heart Scale for each move re-learned. And you can dig Heart Scales up in the underground or held by wild Luvdisc.

Thanks, I have got another question, where/if can you get a ditto?

Use the Pokeradar at Route 218 (next to Canalave).

I was wondering, is it possible for an in-game-trade Pokemon to be shiny? I'm not sure if anyone can answer this, unless they've gotten one, but if anyone knows for certain, I'm really curious. Thanks!

No, they cannot. The Pokémon you receive has fixed attributes, bar it's level which is based on the level of the Pokémon that you trade to the NPC.
The fixed details include OT, ID, nature, gender, IVs(and consequently, Hidden Power strength and type) and the colour/Shininess. So each copy you obtain will be more or less identical in every save file that you create.

I keep hearing that people want pokemon with certain natures. What does the nature have to do with ANYTHING?

 

[Ooka]

Depending on the nature, a Pokemon can benefit in a certain stat (or just stay neutral).

Check this chart for some more info.

Thanks

Thanks for the info. But how ccan you possibly get a legendary pokemon with a CERTAIN nature? I just see people crying about the natures of pokemon they want traded.

 

[Ooka]

You just save your game before you encounter the Legendary Pokemon, then you keep catching it until you get your desired nature.

 

[Trap-Eds]

Hey, I've noticed that sometimes during battles, Pokeballs on the top left of the touch screen, which I think are the players, a few of the Pokeballs will be wobbling. What the heck for? Does it mean that some of your Pokemon have an advantage and are just ITCHING to get out and win, or what?

 

[Ooka]

Well, the Pokeballs in the top left are your Pokemon. I don't know why they were wiggling, probably just a little effect that was added in so it wasn't so boring.

 

[FairyGarland]

Wi-Fi?

Exactly how does Wifi work? How do you connect to it?
