4th Gen Diamond / Pearl Q&A Thread

[Myzou]

Is there a Trainer in Pokemon Pearl who as a Drifloon? I don't want to change my DS to Friday.

Since people misunderstood and never totally answered your question:

Answer A: Yes, there is.
Answer B: If you have more than 5 badges, No There isn't.

The only trainer in the game that owns a Drifloon is one of Fantina's Junior Trainers that most people skip due to it's the one where you answer trivia questions.

If you're already passed that point, unfortunately, you must wait until friday.

Pretty random question, but i got to know,

I obtained this Electivire from Battle Revolution and put it on my DS game.
It's Adamant Level 50, does it still got all of his EV points or not???

Question: For the Drifloon event, If i change my DS calender, will the game know it really isnt a friday?

Sometimes...I think though that it doesnt work with the berries and the swarm pokemon but i think that the drifloon is ok

Is this Pokemon legit?

Species: Shuckle
Nickname: None
OT: SETH
ID: 14417
Nature: Bold
Arrived from Hoenn @lv100.
Personality: Somewhat vain.
Likes: Sour food.
HP: 244 ATK: 22 DEF: 556
SPATK: 31 SPDEF: 550 SPD: 29
Ability: Sturdy
Moves: Rest, Encore, Toxic, Stealth Rock
Ball: Safari
Ribbons: None

The stats are at least possible, but it is honestly difficult to say for certain without the EV spread.

Event Pokemon are given at a preset level without any training applied to them. So, no, it has no EVs.

Thanks, Forci Stikane.
I'll trade them away or something..

Are u sure u are actually attaching the accessories?

Yeah, and then they go bye-bye.

Click here and go to the pokemon's 'Dex entry. Under location it also details if the poke only appears at a specific time.



Choice Items raise their respective stats one stage, or 50%. Download checks which of your opponents defences are inferior and gives you a boost to that respective attack stat So attacking a poke with low defence raises your attack stat, and vice versa.



It's entirely relative, but the GTS has made almost every poke so accessible that starters don't retain rarity anymore. You may be able to ask for something common you're missing out of your national dex, but unless you get a shiny/IV'd one it's just another generic poke that anyone can get for anything over wifi.

Thanks that helps a lot in my battling choices.

Is there anyway to change a traded Pokemon's nickname?

I traded a Machop for an Abra in some house on Pearl and it's nickname is "Kazza". I've been to the name rater guy and he just says it's a good nickname and whatnot. Is there anyway I can change it? because I have an Alakazam now and the name "Kazza" is really annoying me lol.

 

[Zero Avenged]

I'm sorry only the OT can do it!

 

[HumanNature]

I'm sorry only the OT can do it!

That sucks!!
Thanks for letting me know anyway.

 

[Epic702]

Yeah i think that sucks too, we should be able to remove that dumb nick names!

 

[dark_seeker]

or they should never have it in the first place or they should give us the option of naming it and then trading it!

 

[~Kavin~]

Yeah you have to be the OT. That's why I try to make sure I'm the OT of all my pokemon so I can nickname them if I want. If I'm not, I make sure that pokemon is breedable, then I'll let the pokemon I got in a trade go or trade it for something else, while I am the OT of the newborn.

 

[Optiimus]

Why dont you just Catch a new abra?
It may be boring, but better than "Kazza"

 

[Haza]

Or breed from the Abra u got in the trade.

rare pokemon

What is considered a rare pokemon?

 

[TwilightBlade]

What is considered a rare pokemon?

That's a personal opinion, but usually these are considered valuable for trading:

Shiny pokemon
Event pokemon
IV Bred Pokemon
EV trained pokemon

If you meant something in-game as "rare" then it would be starters, legendaries, and uncommon pokemon like Eevee or Dratini..

 

[Haza]

What is considered a rare pokemon?

Shiny Pokemon that also have good natures and IVs are really rare and I have a few!

I saw that you cand find a Reaper Cloth (the item that evolves Dusclops) in the Turnback Cave. Where is it in there?
