Yes, the FAQ stickie does a really good job of it.

Is a Pokémon with Poké R Us worth more than one which is not infected? I know what PKRS does and all but does it decrease the value of infected Pokémon?

As the above poster said, if anything it detracts from the value in collectors due to the poke no longer being UT. Battlers may find it valuable, but an individual pokemon with it is not of particular value since many people infect dozens of bidoofs and sell the virus itself rather than the poke itself.
 
What does your SP. Atk and Sp. Def actually do?
 
my friend wants to know that the arceus (which he soft reseted 100's of times to be shiny) which he used an ar to get the itemis considered legit, semi ligit or hacked

There's a secret entrance hidden underneath Cycling Road that you have to use in order to get to where Gible is. You'll need a Pokemon with Strength, too.
 
If I receive an egg in a trade, will the OT be me or the person I received it from?
 
When the egg hatches, the OT is the one who hatched it. So, you.
 
Whats beter Overheat or blast Burn?
I just taught Blast burn to my Infernape and now I'm gonna go get Overheat
i only need my infernape to know one uber fire move so which one du reccomend Overheat or Blast Burn?
I'll probably teach the other move to my soon to be charzard
 
Both are horrid on an Infernape.
You're better teaching it Fire Blast/Flamethrower for a Special Attacker/Mix
And Flare Blitz for a Physical

I dunno all that recoil was kind of a turn off and I already got two physical moves i don't really need a fire one
Right now it knows Earthquake, Flamethower,Close combat, and Blast Burn
i already saved so i might have to go find a heartscale later if i change my mind...

Ew, terrible moveset.

Oh wait, it's for the Elite Four, right? Then it's no problem.

No I already sweeped them and the only difference then was i had Flare blitz instead of Blast burn
then what move set du reccomend for a speedy infernape with a high sp at?
 
You don't battle competitively, right? So it really makes no difference. But what the heck.

Infernape @ Life Orb
Naive
252 SAtk/ 232 Spe/ 24 Atk
- Close Combat
- Flamethrower
- Grass Knot
- Nasty Plot

once i get connected to wifi i will but i never imagined that i'd might ever be using stat enhancing moves lol well later on I'll see what works for me
but for now someone answer my question ignoring movesets
Whats better Blast burn or Overheat?
 
Usually, it depends on the Pokemon, but Blast Burn (and by relation, all Hyper Beam-esque moves) sucks. Always. No exceptions. So yeah, Overheat is better (even though that isn't very good on Infernape).
 
I have three questions. How long does it take for an egg to hatch? Do you have to carry the egg in order to hatch it? And I'm having problems getting to snowpoint city and sunnyshore city. Any suggestions?
 
1. It varies from Pokemon to Pokemon.
2. Yes. The time it takes for an egg to hatch is measured in steps. For an egg that hatches in 5000 steps, you'll have to walk 5000 steps with the egg in your party for it to hatch (a Slugma or Magby speeds this up).
3. For Snowpoint City, just go into Mt. Coronet and head North, I think. As for Sunyshore, you can't get there until you get the 7th gym badge.
