Battle any pokemon you'd normally battle, but Weavile will have it's attack powered up, so try using more Physical moves, and there's a better chance t'll attack first.

It takes up two turns, traps you on the field, and forces you to watch the opponent set up a sweep against you while you're sitting there watching those Roar of Times fail.

Such things as allowing a Dragon to use Dragon Dance.
And then sweep your whole team, instead of just KOing 1 Pokémon

What are the main types of Pokemon I'll need to beat the E4 and Cynthia? I keep weighing it up but always come out with needing more than 6 so what types are essential?

...

Because it forces you to just sit there for an extra turn, so it only averages out to the same as a 75-power attack each turn. Thus, you're better off just using a move such as Dragon Pulse each turn.

I feel ignored. ;_;

Let's say I have maxed out a Weavile's Attack & Speed EV's and have gotten an Effort Ribbon.
Does it matter, now, what Pokemon I battle with it? Will it still end up with the same final stats no matter what I battle?

As long as you keep from giving it any of the EV-reducing berries, those EVs are set in stone, so yes it will.

It is not as much what types of Pokemon you use as it is which Pokemon specifically. You can go in with a well-balanced team at a high enough level and do just fine, or simply rely on your Legendary for walling and killing. Typing matters less than level and stats.

Thanks for answering! I figured this was the case.

Do Stealth Rock and Spikes and Toxic Spikes stack with each other? Or wen you use one does it automatically get rid of the other?

I think they do stack...
Not sure though.

 

[Forci Stikane]

Do Stealth Rock and Spikes and Toxic Spikes stack with each other? Or wen you use one does it automatically get rid of the other?

Yes, you can have all three out at once. Yes, Spikes and Toxic Spikes stack on themselves to an extent.

If a shiny Pokemon evolves, will it still be shiny in the next form? And can you breed a shiny from a shiny?

 

[icycatelf]

If a shiny Pokemon evolves, will it still be shiny in the next form? And can you breed a shiny from a shiny?

Yes. A shiny Pokemon remains shiny throughout evolution. And no, shiny parents have no effect on the children's possible shininess.

 

[Forci Stikane]

If a shiny Pokemon evolves, will it still be shiny in the next form? And can you breed a shiny from a shiny?

Yes, an evolved Shiny will still be so, but "shininess" is not hereditary. In other words, breeding a Shiny Pokemon instead of a normal one does not affect the chances of the child being Shiny. You will still have the same 1/8192 chance as everybody else.

You get the Seal Case in Solaceon Town.

 

[Azonic]

You have to go to the house near the Solaceon Ruins after you get a little boy out of the Ruins. The house belongs to the boy and his mother. Once you talk to the boy in the Ruins, he will come out of the Ruins and into his house. Talk to his mother to get the Seal Case. Show the boy an Unown and get PokeBall Seals.
