4th Gen Diamond / Pearl Q&A Thread

Like he said, the higher you get in count, the higher the chance of getting a shiny you have. I've heard that once you get to 40, it's safest to just stop encountering them and just keep resetting.

 

[~Kavin~]

yeah that's what I was going to do.....but I messed up with my chain and picked a wrong patch cause I didn't see it...but it was still my chain pokemon.....I'm trying to play it safe and not chain anymore because I don't know how the patch shaked since I didn't see it and I don't want to pick the wrong one since I made it all the way to 26....

 

[Ooka]

If you aren't sure how the patch shook, just re-activate the radar, it won't end your chain, and you can pay attention and see what kind of patch it is this time.

 

[Arceus200]

what are you all talking about? I want to know!

 

[~Kavin~]

quick question....could a level 77 pokemon with 220 sp atk power with the move grass knot kill a small lv 18 pokemon?

 

[Arceus200]

I'm pretty sure that any move with 220 sp atk would kill a lv 18 pokemon

but it all depends: what type is it and what's the defender's defense?

 

[~Kavin~]

thanks! I was trying to find a way to capture a shiny eevee without killing it but I finally got it! thanks!

 

[Arceus200]

nice job!

wait... where did you find it?
?_?

 

[Zebra Thunderhead]

You can find Eevees in the Trophy Garden, if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Arceus200]

oh, yeah. but how can you find eevee pokemon while it is sparkle?

that code?

 

[Dukey]

Thats not a code thats a Shiny Chain

 

[TwilightBlade]

He probably chained for the shiny eevee. It's what they were discussing before your posts. You can find guides about chaining with the pokeradar via google or youtube. It takes a lot of patience and practice, so feel free to ask us if you ever need help.

 

[Pharue]

I usually just chain to 30, like for my Ralts (hunting for a third one now:t280:). But, I do have a question to tack on... For IV breeding, one just breeds until the IV they are trying to get passes on to the egg?

 

[Ooka]

Well, I tend to try and get a few good IVs on my Pokemon from the parents. But yeah, you should just keep breeding until the good IVs get passed down. (If that's what you were asking)

 

[~Kavin~]

I'm having trouble with hidden power.....I'm trying to find the right one for my pokemon but it keeps learning the same one. Can anyone help me out?

Get a Pokemon with the proper IVs for the specific type of Hidden Power you want to use.

Where do I find the Name Rater?
The Name Rater is located in the tall building, next to the Pokémon Mart in Eterna City.

Go to the bottom floor of a pokemon center
Talk to the woman on the far right to get your palpad
Open your bag and select palpad from the key items pocket
Choose the "My friend code" option
