In SS\HG? do i have to go to kanto and do all the gyms or can i leave it for another time and start EV training pokemon for Wi-Fi battleing??? thanks in advance

You can start to EV train a team without get Kanto's badges.
You just need your National Dex and a Daycare if you want to breed too.

I have two questions of which I would be grateful if they could be answered; Firstly, I'm having much trouble catching Entei. I've got his HP very low and he's asleep but, he constantly flees and all the Dusk Balls and Ultra Balls I have thrown have had no effect... Has anyone got a good strategy on how I can catch Entei, succesfully?

My second question is about my team; I'm at Mahogany Town going up to the Lake of Rage Event and the Pokemon in my team are at Level 40. I just want to know if this is a good or bad level fro my Pokemon to be at (going to the seventh Gym) and if I should train them any more.

I hope you can help.
:)

If you're somehow able to get a Wobbuffet or perhaps a Trapinch onto your game, then they will help tremendously in keeping him still, at least until he wakes up and uses roar. This was you don't have to waste a turn using Mean Look. Though if you don't have the former, what the other person suggested will help as well.

Level 40 sounds good, considering I wasn't at that level during that time myself. =3=; I was a bit lower.

Does Entei know roar while it's wandering around Johto? If it does, then can it Roar me away after mean look?

Yes, it knows Roar. Which means you should probably see about putting it to sleep.

Pryce has:

Seel: lvl 30
Piloswine: lvl 34
Dewgong: lvl 32

So i think you can beat him fine

What's a soothe bell and where do I find it?

Soothe Bell is a Hold Item that you can give a Pokemon. When held, it help raises happiness faster by giving one additional point to each happiness-raising event. (For example, walking raises happiness by one point per step. With the Soothe Bell, it's two points each step.)

To get it, go to the National Park. All the way in the upper-right corner (as if you're going to Ecruteak) look around the fence surrounding the National Park. There should be a hole in the fence. Go through it, and follow the path right and down. The Soothe Bell is hidden in a corner.

I was training my evee in the grass. All of the sudden my evee picked up a shiny leaf. Then after a while it asked me if I want to contain it and I say no. Then later evee put it on itself. what does the shiny leaf mean? My evee right now is at level 17 I think. Please let me know.

 

[Astinus]

A shiny leaf really doesn't do anything important. They're an item you can find on routes in the game, and they depend on your Pokemon's personality plus the route you're on. When a Pokemon finds one, it shows on the Pokemon's status screen. If you talk to your friend (Lyra or Ethan), they'll request that you bring them a Pokemon with five Shiny Leaves attached to them. When you do so, you get a star on your trainer's card and your Pokemon get the Leaf Crown (which again does nothing important).

Here's an article on Shiny Leaves, which also tells you where you can find them according to what nature your Pokemon has.

Does anyone know the details (such as original trainer, level, and ball) of the Event Arceus that was given out (the one that could unlock the Sinjoh Ruins)?

I would be grateful for a reply. :)

Well, I know some, going from mine:

(Modest) Nature
Jul.18, 2009 
Pokemon Movie 09
Apparently had a 
fateful encounter at
Lv. 100.
(Often dozes off)

Dex No. 493
Name: Arceus
Type: (Normal)
OT: (something Japanese)
ID No. 07189
Exp. Points 125000
To Next Lv. 
                0

Ability  Multitype
Changes type to match with the held plate

Judgement
Roar of Time
Spacial Rend
Shadow Force

Bits in ( ) brackets may be different, depending on the Arceus. The date of the fateful encounter might be different, if the owner had been changing the time setting beforehand. However, the ID No. would be the same. Type may be different if it's holding a plate.

Also, please note that sprite is for the Meadow Plate equipped.

@ Fridgeman or whatever it is: No, the EV gains all add up by lv.100, however. For a more advanced guide on EV training, look other places. There's a good chance there's a link a couple of pages back, yours is a commonly asked question

Hi. I want the pokemon salon. Does anyone know what day they open? I went there today and try to give my evee a hair cut and he not there.

Neither of them are there on monday. They're in the underground every day except monday.
One way I just learned to get more haircuts is after you get your haircut of the day, set the time on your ds to 23:59, let the day turn over, and then get a haircut. Then save, set the ds clock to 23:59 again, get haircut, save, repeat.

Do Rock smash for shard.
Trade the shard for berries in Fushia City.
After, plant the berry to make other.

I used 10 ultra balls to catch lugia. and 2 level balls. Then I finally caught it. I haven't tried to catch ho oh yet. I want to though. I would save your mb and trade it away for something good or something you want. Like a tm or something.

What is the likelyhood of Cubones and Marowaks in Rock Tunnell holding Thick Clubs?

Also, if I use Theif on one of them when they're holding it (without my Pokemon holding an item) will the Pokemon that used it be holding a Thick Club? That method just sounds a lot easier than catching every one I see :P

 

[560cool.]

Uhhh.... what's up with the woman from the Goldenrod Dept. Store who appears only on Sundays and "gives out TMs" (according to a NPC). She does nothing when I talk to her with a max happiness Pokemon.
Help ? I want TMs.

It's about 5% chance to find one holding a thick club. One strategy I developed is: have a pokemon with compound eyes in the 1st slot of you party, fainted. Then in the 2nd slot, have a pokemon with frisk ability. Then you can switch in your thief/trick pokemon and get it.

Global trade station.

Hey, i recently purchased pokemon heart gold and a ds..
I played for a while, got to goldenrod and though i'd try out this so called 'gts'
and i didn't think it would be as useless as it was..

Every time i searched for a pokemon people were offering that particular pokemon, but they'd want like a level 100 mew, jirachi, starters etc..
Mind you i was searching for a level 1-9 growlithe and sneasal.
My question is, is the gts a joke?
Does no one offer a growlithe or sneasal for something obtainable at my point in the game or something? And who would trade a mew for a growlithe...

 

[Amore]

Yeah, it's all totally pathetic.

Look in the Trade Corner in these forums. People are a lot more reasonable.
