HG/SS Help Thread

I'm just kind of confused /w the Power items and breeding.

Say if a Male Larvitar with a 28 IV in HP is put into the daycare holding a Power Weight, and a 31 Attack IV'd Ditto holding a Power Bracer is also put in.
Will both IV's be passed down? I read some different things on the Smogon forums: I heard from one user that either one IV or the other will be passed down to the offspring, but not both, and I heard from yet another user that both can be passed down but not 100%.

Which is true, does anyone know? I need a definite answer.
Thanks in advance.
 
hey, I'm trying to find a pineco to evolve into a forrestress so I can get a beldum from Steven, but I can't find a pineco anywhere. I've been headbutting tress but I keep getting hoothoot and spearow. Where should I headbutt to get a pineco? the rate of getting a pokemon when headbutting seems to be really low, out of 10 times I headbutt a tree (the same tree for all 10 times), I usually only find 2 or 3 pokemon

edit: nevermind I finally found one, I guess they're just not that common xD

Flash TM?

Where can i get the flash TM? i've already had it from the guy who gives you it but i need it for a different pokemon, any idea where i can get, also what TM number is it?
 
you can get it at the goldenrod department store. I think It's TM 70 or something. You can get as many as you want and it's relatively cheap. While I was playing through HG, I was always low on cash until after the 6th gym, but I was using savings, so you should be fine.

Turn the game off? There's no reason to be afraid since all you're doing is breeding like you normally do.

Recently, my friend has been having trouble with his Pokéwalker. From what he's told me, he resynched it to his game and now the menu doesn't display how many Watts are needed to get the next route, nor do any of his Watts from the Pokéwalker register.

We're both stumped as to what the cause could be, or how to combat it. Any suggestions?

I'm just bringing this over from the previous page, as I still don't have an answer and I am seeing my friend tomorrow morning, when we would like to have this sorted. Muchos gracias. ~♪
 
he may have unlocked all routes. is thelast one town outskirts? you cant get the later routes till you have the national pokedex. (i'm theorizing that cos I have the same issue)
 
Help!

does anyone know of a method to store pokemon outside of D/P & HG/SS, so that you can restart your game WITHOUT losing your pokemon? Like how Colosseum/XD/Pokemon Box can store pokemon from R/S/E/LG/FR, is there something out there that can store pokemon from D/P & HG/SS?
 
@ AbsolDemon - MyPokemonRanch. It's a WiiWare thing. Good thing is, that when you put in 999 pokemon, you get a Mew! However, you have to send them back to the save file they came from....

@ CountryEmo - You tried the top-right entrance to the centre of the gym right?
Because that's where you go in to get to her
 
how do i get the guy on Aqua to move?

i found his partner beat him, but he still wont mvoe T_T

My Pokemon Ranch works for Diamond and Pearl, but not Platinum and onward. We ask for a patch, Nintendo said that we don't want it.
 
Regardless, it's to my understanding that My Pokémon Ranch can't be used to transfer Pokémon from one save file to another (even if it's a new game on the same cartridge).

Bulbapedia said:
It is essentially a Generation IV version of Pokémon Box. However, it is notable that Pokémon Ranch is similar to Pokémon Battle Revolution in that it will only interact with specific save files. This means that if a Pokémon is placed on the ranch, only the game from which it was placed onto the ranch may take the Pokémon back off it. This prevents people storing Pokémon and starting a new game - something for which previous storage titles were quite useful.

As such, in the current generation, there really is no way at the moment to transfer Pokémon and items in massive amounts from one game/file to another, besides the very slow trading method...which is just ridiculous, but not much we can do about it~
