Mira: Wayward Cave rescue
Riley: Iron Island quest
Cheryl: Eterna Forest quest
Buck: Stark Mountain quest
Marley: Victory Road hidden area (she can be found in an opening where a fat man was blocking the road, which would be unlocked once you defeat the Elite Four)

Once you come to these areas, everything is straightforward, so there's no need for me to list anything else.

I thought there was atleast like 7...Thanks I couldn't find Mira or Marley to save my life...

Do you mean you couldn't find your way through Wayward Cave or locate the fat man blocking an entrance? If so, Mira is here, and for Marley, you should trace your way back from the Elite Four building into Victory Road. Look for the Veteran, and the secret entrance should be to the far right on a raised hill.

There are only five partners.
If you can, get Biberal and Tropius combo, since they cover all 8 HMs amongst them. I have Cut, Rock Climb, Surf, and Waterfall on Biberal; Strength, Rock Smash, Fly, and Defog on Tropius.

 

[Eos Aduro]

Another is Skarmory (Fly, Defog, Cut, Rock Smash), Bibarel (Surf, Waterfall, Rock Climb, Strength).

 

[VinceLevi]

Maybe just a fault in the checker?
Or was it possible that a hacked pikachu had the egg? Or the everstone was illegaly obtained?

 

[Pikachu-dance!]

well my pichu was the japanese movie event so yeah it must be a fault in the checker because the everstone wast illegally obtained and this pichu didnt come from an egg.

 

[Alpha_Spike]

Where do you get the checker?

Hi, just wanna ask about PalPad. Whenever you add FC in your PalPad, you'll be asked about Trainer Name, right? I just wonder whether the Trainer Name must be the same as our Trainer Name in our game, or you can just use any name. Thanks.

 

[luxray_12]

Ok so I ev trained my blastoise right, using up all 510 ev's. It's currently level 51. Would it's stats be the same if I used in battle tower as it is now or would it's stats be higher if i raised to level 100 then used it in battle tower. Does it matter even though it's stats will be modified anyway?

Any name will do just fine.

There's no difference in a Pokemon's stats in the battle tower whether it is lv. 50 or lv. 100.

I have two questions concerning Pokemon Platinum

First, How do I go about erasing a saved game? I hit Up, Select, B and it did not erase the previously saved game

Also, This question is about WiFi.

My Router used WPA2-PSK as the security and the DS says to enter the WEP key,
Does my router HAVE to be using WEP security or can I still use WPA2-PSK security?

Thanks in Advanced!

Did you try doing that while on the Giratina screen at the beginning? Just saving over it is the only other option, I believe.

Only the DSi can use WPA2-PSK security, or a regular/Lite with a USB connector I believe (not sure on the second one).

 

[Syrex]

Ah. Thank you. I got the game to erase... Now I just hope if I use the usb cord that I can use wifi...

Edit:
How about I configure my DS if I can use the USB cord?

 

[FreakyLocz14]

I just got the new AR for the DSi and I'm trying to use the 90 of all TMs code. It says to press UP+L+R but idk when.

 

[Kirbychu]

You should be able to use it the second you turn on your game, and the TMs should appear...

Since I can't find it - EV Explanation Please?

Here's what I actually understand about EV training thus far:

EV stands for effort values. They're values obtained through gaining experience from defeating Pokemon. Example: Per Zubat defeated (without Power Items, Brace, or PKRUS), you gain 1 effort point.

There is a max of 510 EVs across the board (totaled up from HP, Attack, Defense, Sp. Attack, Sp. Defense, Speed), and a max of 255 per each stat.

Here's where I begin to get confused: I hear that per 4 Effort Points gained in a single skill -- I'll use HP as my example, since that's what I'm currently working on -- you add 1 more point. So say:

You defeat 4 Bidoofs for a total of 4 Effort Points in HP
After the 4th Point is accumulated, you add one more. From 4 Bidoofs, you've gained 5 Effort Points in HP. Is this correct?

So with PokéRus, you defeat 16 Bidoofs for a total of 32 HP EV's without factoring in the 5th Effort Point per 4.
32/4 = 8
Add the factored 8 into the subtotal (correct terminology?) of 32 for 40

So from the 16 Bidoofs, you've accumulated 40 EV's in HP.

If there is an error in this, let me know. I'm working on training my Ralts into a Gallade... This is the only time I've ever bothered to EV Train a Pokémon, and I wanna make sure I'm getting it right before I get too terribly frustrated and just quit.

 

[Cello]

Oh no, you don't actually add an extra HP EV for every 4 EVs gained.
For every 4 HP EVs you gain from fighting Bidoofs, that means 1 extra point towards your pokemon's actual HP stat.

So like, you know when you level up you see all your stats go up?
When it says in a box;
HP +3
Attack +2
Defense +3
etc etc...
That extra 1 point towards your HP that you gained from 4 HP EVs will show up there.

For every 4 EVs = 1 point towards that stat being trained in.


Also; EV trained stats do not show results immediately, unless they're being EV trained past level 30 or-so.
So don't fret if it seems like your pokemon isn't gaining it's EVs, they're just being spread out through levels.

 

[FreakyLocz14]

Naw it's telling me I have to press UP+L+R I did that at the top of the TM pocket and nothing happened.

While I'm on the subject does anyone know a code to make my party Pokémon have all perfect IVs.

 

[Zacceh]

Oh. So we'll say:

1 Bidoof defeated for 1 HP EV
24 Exp. Gained
Pidgey leveled up to level 2!

So from that defeated Bidoof, Pidgey is now 1/4 of the way to having more HP.
