But there is one of Espeon's attacks that it learns before level 30 that I want it to learn.

You can go to Blackthorn City and exchange a Heart Scale to remember that move then.

And where do I find a Heart Scale at?

You can find it in your PokeWalker, stealing them from Luvdisc, or transfer it from R/S/E, Rock Smashing and Pokeatholon.

PokeWalker Items

Question: on the PokeAthlon display skill window of your Pokemon, there are stars, and some empty ones. That leads to think you can develop your Pokemon's PokeAthlon skills.

If that's true, how to do that?

In case someone didn't notice due to the merge of double-posts.

does anyone know if you can RNG to get a shiny in hgss? I'm interested in doing so since I heard it's not a hack and it looks doable O.o but I think there's only a dp version? Does it work the same way as the diamond/pearl because hgss doesn't have the apps. Thanks in advance.

It seems hard, considering there is no journal to advance frames and no coin flip/happiness aps. If you really wanted to, you could try with the radio and "detuning" but i doubt that would work.

Kanto starters (Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle) - You can choose from these three which one you want by talking to Prof Oak in Pallet Town after you get all 16 gym badges

I have tried obtaining them after I got all 16 badges, all Oak talks about is the Pokedex, any help on how to get them?

How much BP do you get from the Battle Tower? And which place on the Battle Frontier can you gte th most BP?

I believe for any regular trainer match you get 3 battle points at the end of it and by the end of the battle with one of the Brains it is seven. Not 100% sure as I don't frequent the Battle Frontier as much as I'd like to.

Straight from the HG/SS FAQ and Known Information we have here:

What is the Shining Leaf? How do I get it?
The Shining Leaf is a rare item found by your Pokémon. It is not a standard item or accessory, and can only be seen through your Pokémon's status screen. You can only get the Shining Leaf by talking to your partner while in a grass area. However, finding the Shining Leaf in a certain are depends on the nature of your Pokémon and the specific locations.

What's my reward for finding a Shining Leaf?
Once you obtain one Shining Leaf, then you should go see Ethan/Lyra in New Bark Town. Here they will explain more to you about the Shining Leaf and how he/show wants you to collect five of them (on the same Pokémon). Once you've done so, he/she will reward you with a star for your Trainer Card.

If you wish to learn more on the natures and areas to find the Shining Leaf then you can visit here.

where can i find heart scales in heart gold?

i need to remember some moves

 

[pokejungle]

Nashton:

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Heart Scales can be obtained by destroying rocks with Rock Smash or as a Pokéathlon prize on Wednesday or Sunday for 1,000. Additionally in these games, a Pokémon with the Pickup ability can also collect Heart Scales at Level 51 or higher.

- BREEDING QUESTION -

Bulbapedia's Magby Article if I were to breed it with a chimchar does the chimchar need to *know* thunderpunch in order to pass it on? Or a result of the pairing will bestow the egg with thunderpunch regardless if either knows it?

 

[FreakyLocz14]

Which island do I enter at to get to Lugia (Whirl Islands)?

 

[Megaman765]

Hey is there somebody in heartgold that tells you what your pokemon's hidden power is? That would be nice for when I try to get a zapdos.

i believe you just have to talk to them again.

 

[PasserBy]

Is exeggcute catchable in soul silver? I've checked and people list locations but then under rarity there are question marks or "none" - making me skeptical.

 

[Yusshin]

I haven't seen exeggcute in any of the routes listed on Serebii; maybe it's after the E4.

 

[Leitz09]

@57: talking after wards doesn't work...
