HG/SS Help Thread

Ok thanks, one more quick question: Should I give Psychic to Lapras, Togekiss, or Espeon (not sure if he learns it via level up)
 
EV training question.


Do wild (that are above level 1) Pokemon have some EV points or are they zero?
 
I'm going through a tough decision. I am thinking about deleting my SS save file. I struggled through the whole game, and ended up having to trade pokemon from platinum to beat the E4 and Red. I've only beaten the E4 twice, and only beaten Red once. I can trade my Night Sky Jirachi to platinum, and can mystery gift my winners path to a friend and then mystery gift it back. Anyone objecting this?

Ok. I haven't found a single pokemon fossil since I finished the game in 100 something hours. Does anyone know where to look? I want to start looking for some. After you find the fossil who do you take the fossil too? I know in gold and silver version you take it to some pokemon mansion.

the other person who told you the museum part was right but its not just rock smashing outside of battle i read on yahoo answers (used this to get through my SS in 6 days) you have to rock smash outside the ruins of alph where you can catch the unowns then take them to that museum go right when you enter and talk to the guy there
 
EV training is when you battle a pokemon, you Effort Values based on the dominant stat of the pokemon you are battling. Three or four Effort Values = 1 point in stat gain per level up.
ie: zubat's dominant stat is speed, so if you want your pokemon to have high speed, battle tons of zubats. Or almost any other flying type plus probably buizel/floatzel among others.
There are several pokemon for each stat.
Some pokemon give EVs in more than one stat (mew gives 1 to all) and some give more than one EV for one stat.
ie: Say geodude gives on def EV. Graveler will give 2 and Golem will give 3.

also I ask the same question as above, is it ok to delete my save file for SS?

Thank you! greatly appreciated! And for your post, I would say that making a new file and starting fresh would sound tempting. But if you have any chances of bettering the situation then you should.

Also one more question from you haha. Where you do you get the trainer cards?
 
I'm not sure about all of them, but I know beating the Elite 4 once gets you the Blue card. and Beating it 10 times (I think) gets you some other one, and I'm pretty sure Completing the national dex gets you the Black Card (after you get all the other cards, which will more than likey happen first). For all the others though, you can probably find out at www.gamefaqs.com

Just got here today, can anyone point me the way to EV training? I wanna learn how. Even a link or anything would help me, you don't have to explain it.

https://www.serebii.net/pokedex-rs/ev.shtml

every 4 ev's is 1 IV i believe something like that the link explains it and gives you different pokemon that give different EV points

the black trainer card if im not mistaken is from getting all 5 gold stars

Getting EVs does not equate to IVs. 4 EVs = 1 more point in that stat at level 100.

how do you recieve a mystery gift from a friend?
Click to expand...

It has to be from a Wonder Card that allows sharing such as the first JPN Secret Key in Platinum. The Wonder Card should have an option that says "Send". Then, the other person would have to "Get from a friend". Not many of the Wonder Cards that are have been released allow sharing though.
 
yeah, that sucks that I apparently can't transfer my Winners Path Pokewalker Route, or the Jirachi (But the event is still on so it will be easy enough to get back.) But the winners path pokes I can easily get from platinum (except for munchlax with self destruct, but I never use that one anyway.)

If I do start a new game, will mystery gift be available ainstantly?

You can trade the Jirachi to your friend and trade back to receive the Night Sky's Edge course. However you will lose the Winner's Path and any Wonder Card only course. I would recommend you use an Action Replay to extract the Wonder Cards and then send them back after you start a new game.

If I lose to a Battle Frontier master-person the first time, will they come back?

Yes. You can rematch them as many times as you want, like the Elite Four.
