where can i SEE heracross in ss? or i'll just trade for it

 

[Pokegear.net]

Heracross is in headbutt trees across most of Johto and Kanto, try Route 44 in Johto.

 

[jigglyppuff8]

Bugsy has a Heracross in his rematch. Other than that, Headbutt trees.

 

[Eon-Rider]

serebii-net lists Red's Pikachu for location of Light Ball. If true, does this mean it possible to Covet/Thief it from that encounter?

Yes, you can do that. Cripple Pikachu and get a free Light Ball. =)

To add on to the "Headbutt trees for Heracross" posts:

Heracross is found in trees on Routes: 7, 11, 16, 28, 33, 42, 44, 45, 46, 47; and in Azalea Town, Vermilion City, Celadon City, and Mt. Silver.

You have to learn Headbutt from a guy in the Ilex Forest just south of GoldenRod City. Then turn a little east and jump off the ledge and turn east and go all the way down. After you taught one of your pokemon Headbutt. Then Heabutt trees in the following locations: Route 7, Route 16, Route 28, Route 33, Route 42, Route 44, Route 45, Route 46, Route 47, Azalea Town, Vermilion City, Celadon City, Mt. Silver

I currently have 6. Getting more since None of them had the Adamant nature. I found 3 in a row pretty quickly, and I found 5 in 10 minutes.

are there only certain pines that yield pokemon, cuz i just went through the entier viridian forest headbutting and didn't see a single pokemon. is it just a chance and i'm an unlucky b****rd?

Well, it depends which Pokemon you're looking for.

If a tree doesn't produce a Pokemon the first time you Headbutt it, it never will. Go around Viridian Forest until you find one that does.

thanks...and the reason i said "see" in caps is because i thought it was hg exclusive ha

and would a high defense nature be good for it, since most flying moves are physical i think? or just a coba berry

How can you evolve Feebas?
I mean, how can you max his Beauty in HGSS?
There is no poffin or pokebloc to do that :S

 

[rndm.]

^ With Daisy's massages. Every massage raises the Beauty stat by 1/8 of it's maximum, so in 8 days you will get your Milotic.
Daisy gives massages from 3pm to 4pm every day.

You can also use the barber shop in goldenrod. This also increases the beauty, and u can use it at any time of the day.

Yes, but by a fraction of Daisy's and you can use it once a day.

Where on the internet could/should I go for detailed maps for the caves in HeartGold?

Locally speaking, 'hint books' are rather trig to find :(

PDF files of the books, mainly. We're not far in mapping technology for DS.

how much do the power items multiply EVs by?

 

[jigglyppuff8]

They don't multiply EVs, they add on 4 EVs of the stat they say they raise.

For example:
Battling a Sentret (1 Atk) while holding the Power Anklet (Speed) will result in 1 Atk EV and 4 Speed EVs.
Battling a Ratatta (1 Spe) while holding the Power Anklet (Speed) will result in 5 Speed EVs (Ratatta's + the 4 from the Power Anklet).

One more thing, I don't think Viridian Forest has any pokemon in its trees at all. But I haven't tested it. Like Astinus said they are found in routes 7, 11, 16, 28, 33, 42, 44, 45, 46, 47; and in Azalea Town, Vermilion City, Celadon City, and Mt. Silver.
