Two answer both of your questions you simply have to defeat all 7 people in the room.

Rare candys do not decrease stats , the reason why rare candyd pokes are weaker is bacause they probaly didnt have any evs like they would get in battle, but once you have max evs its safe to use rare candys

how do you open it??

in diamond how do you open the accessory box??? I wanna know how! :cer_cry: :cer_cry: :cer_cry: :cer_cry:

[Ásh]

You Can't Open It.
It just tells you how many backdrops etc you have.​

 

[Evilyn]

You can only open it when you enter a contest.

*waits for the thread to be either merged or closed*

 

[~Kavin~]

[Ásh]

I've been SR'ing for a good IV'd Drifloon.
And so far the best I've gotten is.

Serious.

I want a really good one..
But I also want a Calm Mind baton passer.
So how should I go about doing this?
Should I keep SR'ing for a good IV'd one.
Or trying to hatch good IV'd eggs?

Also.
How can I get a Drifloon hatched with Baton Pass?

 

[Gunners]

It can learn it at lv l33

A pokemon's nature matters more than its IVs. Reset.

Work on getting a Calm Drifloon first, maybe even a female so you can rebreed (which is easier).

I have a few questions

With EV training, after you get all the EVs you want (for example I kill 252 starlys, 252 machops, and then use up my remaining EVs on HP by killing bidoofs so now I would have used the maximum amount of EVs (510 I think)) do I still have to train on things like starlys and machops (things that give speed and attack EVs) to max out the speed and attack stat at level 100, according with the natures of course? Or could i just train through the Elite Four or something the rest of the way?

Do the legendaries have pre-set natures?

if i can think of anymore i will edit this post

Nope, you don't; once the Pokémon has gained the fulll amount of EVs, you can continue to level up against anything you wish. As long as you make ABSOLUTELY sure you have gained 510 EVs first.

Nope again; if you save infront of them, then catch them and check the nature, you can reset the game and catch it again if it is not the nature you want.

 

[Gunners]

You can just do the E4 once youve EVd and the legendaries dont have a preset nature. atleast i dont think

 

[TwilightBlade]

After you hit 510 EVs, you can battle whatever you want. New EVs won't count.

Stationary legendaries (Dialga, Uxie, Giratina, Heatran, etc) do not have preset natures; however, if you release the running legendaries (Mesprit/Cresselia) into the wild, they will have the same natures each time you encounter them. To reset their natures, you'll have to start the process over again (for example, go to the island, save, scare away Cresselia, capture her, check her nature, if unsatisfied, soft reset and repeat).

 

[WaffleIron]

Okay thank you all very much

 

[Hadim Sinan Pasha]

My only question ATM is, are the natures of Mystery Gift pokemon transferred from Ranch/Battle Revoltuion set once the transfer is complete or when I talk to the guy? Just wanting to know because I'm wondering if I can SR for a better natured Electivire.

 

[Elekish♥]

My friend just got a Wondertomb off the GTS and believes that it's legit.
Can you guys just put it in print that it is illlegit?

 

[LethalTexture]

A Spiritomb with Wondergurard is in NO WAY legit. The nature is unique to Shedinja only, and people hack the nature onto Spiritombs with an external device so they have an 'invincible' Pokémon. Of course, it's not, but that's what people like to think.
