There's no such thing as a level 45+ Magicarp.
Just level up that Lv. 5 Magicarp or daycare it on route 34.
if you level it up on lvl. 30 use waterstone and it might evolve.

There is no Lv.45+ Magicarp because Gyarados naturally evolves on Level 40 Lol.
Yeah, Magicarp's only dangerous move is splash.
Teach it a TM or HM.

Glad i helped.

*EDIT*
Go fishing for Red Gyarados in Lake of Rage.
Or Fuschia City, Mt. Silver or Seafoam Islands.

NOTE: Use Super Rod
and won't work with othershttps://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Seafoam_Islands

OK pretty much everything you said is wrong. I can't tell if you're trolling or just really don't know what you're talking about.
-There are level 45+ Magikarp, you can catch them in the resort or choose not to evolve them.
-Magikarp does not evolve using a water stone
-Magikarp Evolves at level 20 not 40
-Magikarp cannot learn TMs or HMs
-The locations you listed are from HGSS, we're talking about DPPt
-You can only get the Super Rod after the Elite 4

Edit: oh, right, you can't get a level 45 magikarp as it wont evolve into gyarados

Magikarp will evolve at any level past 20, use a rare candy.

I'm kind of confused. So there is no such thing before the resort area. Then would my best water pokemon choice be floatzel or tentacruel?
Also should I go with magnezone or electivire? I have no wall on my team, and most of my pokemon have pretty bad defenses, but I heard electivire is just super powerful overall?

If this is just for the Elite 4, don't worry about it. Use whatever team you want. Any of the Pokémon you just listed would be viable as long as they are at high enough levels. It really isn't worth the time raise a Gyarados to level 50. Just stock up on tons of revives, moo moo milk, and full restores and you should be fine.

How about semicompetitvely? Would floatzel be my best pick or tentacruel?
My team so far is Infernape, Staraptor, Alakazam, Garchomp (soon), I have an electabuzz and a magneton, just don't know which to train, Should I even have a water type or just go with something like sneasel or abomasnow or anything else?

You'll have to beat the next two gym leaders, which will trigger an event at one of the lakes. Once you've cleaned that up Cynthia will be near the route to go to Sunyshore city, talk to her and she'll give you the secret potion.

Just keep going on with the story (Go to Veilstone City I think). You'll eventually be given the Secretpotion by Cynthia which will cure the headaches of the Psyduck and they will clear the way.

do power items pass do ive in platium

do power items pass do ive in platium

Nope, the power items don't effect Ivs, if that's what your trying to say. The Pokemon holding the power item will have their in-battle speed reduced by half, but after each battle, the Pokemon will gain 4 Effort Values (EVs) of the particular stat that is affected by each power item.

Also, this feature was introduced in HGSS.

can any one tell me what cmt means when trading? im so new and lost any help would be awsome

 

[jigglyppuff8]

It stands for "Check my thread". Usually someone who posts that also has their own dedicated trade thread that they have their offers in.

Feed it sweet Poffins (done by going to the Poffin House in Hearthome City and using berries like Pecha and Qualot).

Also, teach Giratina moves in the "cute" category; you can find out a move's contest category by going to its Contest Moves section in its summary screen).

Ahh! I have a moveset for it. Can i change it after Giratina wins the contest? Meaning will it allow me to?

Also, I want to know if Giratina wins the cuteness contest, will it be able to come with me to Amity Square?

Yes you can change it's moveset, just get Heart scales. <_<

Only certain Pokemon can go into Amity Square, regardless of winning a contest are not, Giratina isn't one of those Pokemon.

Can you get rid of the clock on Platinum?

Hiya guys!
I have just started playing Platinum. I met this fella in the city and gave me a mission to collect 3 coupons off some clowns. I got the coupons and received the watch. I didn't realize however that it would blockade my entire bottom screen with the time. I find it really annoying and was wondering if you can get rid of it?
Thanks!

 

[bobandbill]

I don't believe you can turn off the Poketch - mind you before that the bottom screen is basically empty anyways, and you'd likely get used to it being there before long. Also note throughout the game you can get other functions that you might prefer being there instead.

You can touch the red buttons to the right of the watch to change the app.

 

[woaska]

RNG question. Exactly what is the seconds? I understand that the delay is the time between starting the game to pressing "A" at continue screen * 6, but what is the seconds?

There is no way to remove it. However, as the game progresses, you will receive different apps that you can switch to.
