So is there a bug pokemon that knows bullet punch. It doesn't matter which I used with scizor right.

there is no other bug group breeder who knows bullet punch.

POKEMON THAT CAN LEARN BULLET PUNCH AND THEIR EGG GROUPS:

(scroll to bottom)


you say you have a scizor already. you can do one of the following:
- use the scizor you have. if it doesn't know bullet punch then go to the move tutor and teach it
- get a baby by breeding with another bug group pokemon. again, you'll have to go to the tutor to get bullet punch.
---scizor does not learn the move from leveling. it also is not an egg move---

Anyone know whats the best starting team im getting the game very soon :p

 

[Christopher]

In-Game its very hard to have a bad team all you really need is type coverage.
I suggest Typhlosion,Noctowl,Poliwrath/Golduck/Quagsire,Amphoras,and two other types that go well together I.E a Fighting & dark/ Ice & Dragon. Etc .....

I'm trying to catch myself a smergale in the sarfari zone in soul silver. I'm a bit confuse. Is smergale in the plain object or the forest object. The chart says 3 forest object, but I don't see any when I went there. I got it off from this site.

https://www.serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/safarizone.shtml

there is a total of 6 boxes to start out. Then the bottom 3 is forest and the top 3 is plain. Does that how it goes? If not please correct me.

 

[Christopher]

easier place to catch one would be the Ruins of Alph through the little "secret passage" they can't flee there.

to semi answer your question you have to complete the owner tests to gain the ability to place objects in the Safari zone you then go and place 3 forest objects and Smergle should become available.

Which secret passage? Can you explain it to me how to get there? What do I need?

You really don't need anything. In Union Cave, there's a stairway near the entrance that leads to its basement. Pass through there (while battling trainers, Surfing through the small lakes and using Strength to push past boulders) and you'll eventually come to 2 exits in the basement (stairs). Take one of them (I'm not sure which one) and it'll lead to the Ruins of Alph. One of the areas from the exits will have the tall grass where you can find Smeargle (and Natu).

Sorry if that didn't make sense.

It's not that hard to get to. You can surf from the harbor to the right and just hop on to that tiny spot of sand with the Poke Ball in it. If I remember correctly, the Charge Beam TM is in there.

Only a quickie yes or no for two questions.

Doing the part where I got to choose one of three starters from the third gen, Steven mentioned about Latias being seen in Kanto. Whilst I've already got one via GTS, I was wondering if it can actually be caught in HG/SS.

Also, can I see other pokemon when fighting in the battle tower (EG. I haven't seen Totodile yet), and will they get added onto the national pokedex?

Yes, Latios or Latias becomes a roaming Pokémon in Kanto, the same as Raikou and Entei are roaming Johto. Which one roams depends on the version you have. In SoulSilver it's Latios, whereas in HeartGold (which you have) it's Latias.

Also, can I see other pokemon when fighting in the battle tower (EG. I haven't seen Totodile yet), and will they get added onto the national pokedex?

Pokémon seen in any Battle Frontier facility are not registered on the Pokédex in any form.

The haircut raises Happiness, not Beauty. You'll have to feed it Poffins to max its Beauty stat.

there are no poffins in HG/SS just Daisy Oak

if you'd rather video instruction, it's on the bottom :)



-------------------------------------------------------------

ok so

- you go in union cave
- and you go to the very north of the cave
- and go down some stairs.

- then go north again all the way
- (over the water and past the man)
- and you'll come to where you can only turn left.

- turn left and there'll be a fork in the road
- (where you can go up or down)
- so go up.

- you'll very soon come to a wall and you can only turn left
- so go left
- and go up the stairs

- nowhere to go in this room except follow the path
- surf on the water
- and go up the stairs.

- you'll be in a very small room
- with only an exit
- so go out the exit.

- you're now in the ruins of alph.
- go to the grass.
- and in that grass there are natu and smeargle.

yeah there are no poffins. the haircut does not just raise happiness, it does raise the beauty needed to make feebas evolve. just keep giving it haircuts, sooner or later it will evolve
