Okay, so should I replace him with a Lucario?

thats a good option, Lucario has many resistances. they are

Normal : ½×
Rock : ¼×
Bug : ¼×
Ghost : ½×
Steel : ½×
Grass : ½×
Ice : ½×
Dragon : ½×
Dark : ¼×

with no damage from Poison Types.


his only weaknesses are Fighting, Fire, and Ground, everything else does normal damage

Thanks guys. I like the walk through walls cheat idea the best.

And for the record, what you call cheating, I call "time management". :D

 

[Jordan]

dont use Abomasnow, his type combination is like the worst possible, it has many weaknesses and they are

• Fighting : 2×
• Flying : 2×
• Poison : 2×
• Rock : 2×
• Bug : 2×
• Steel : 2×
• Fire : 4×

which mean youll be murdered everywhere

You should well know that Abomasnow's ability makes up for a lot in Hail teams. And why not try training with an Exp. Share instead, especially if EV's are involved? Once done, defeat weaker Pokemon while holding a Lucky Egg.

I got the membership pass over mystery gift and procrastinated on getting Darkrai until now and the door to the inn won't open. Does anyone know why that is?

i guess youre right, but did the dude say if he was making a hail team? thats the only reason he's probably useful, no use using him in a regular team unless its strictly in game and with friends, but not competetively

 

[Calvo819]

you need the National Dex. that unlocks the missing areas and a bunch of other stuff too like PokeRadar, Pal Park and Kanto's birds

How does one spread around pokerus?

Put the Pokerus'ed Pokemon in your party and walk around. Be sure it's not next to one that's already had Pokerus and now immune. Also, put it in the PC once you're done; you don't want to lose the infectious goodness :P
@Calvo: Whether he will use the Pokemon for a competitive Hail team or not, the decision to use the Abomasnow for him was already (somewhat) final.

Ghost Pokemon question

I'm having a hard time fighting Fatina at the third gym. I'm a bit of a noob to these new games, so I don't know the best way to beat her three pokemon. I'm using a lvl 25 Luxio (bite) and lvl 23 Machop (foresight then karate chop) and I manage to kill the first one, then get my ass kicked by Mismagius.
Anyways, what can I do to better my chances?

 

[Griffinbane]

Thankies much. This'll speed things up. :D

The far right door of the pokemon mansion

what is on the other side of the far right door inside the pokemon mansion?

 

[Sydian]

Assuming you're talking about the Backlot Mansion in DPPt, no one really knows; it's unaccessible.

There's nothing else you really can do other than to level up your Pokemon. Luxray's only 5 levels away, so start there. Then perhaps evolve your Machop too? What about your starter?

 

[Sydian]

Shinx learns Bite at 13. Do you not have that move anymore or did you not let Shinx/Luxio learn it? It would do you wonders. :/

 

[ArcanineOod]

Yes, Dark Type moves and Dark Type Pokemon would be good against Fantina...
Which leads me to a question of my own:

Is it possible to find a Dark Type Pokemon before Fantina's gym?
Do you recieve the Eevee which you could potentially evolve into Umbreon as a Dark Type against her before the match or after?
(I've already finished the storyline; I'm just interested.) ^_^

xX

 

[Sydian]

I think you can go ahead and grab the Eevee, but have fun evolving it. Getting Umbreon (or any friendship evolution, for that matter) takes a long time.

As for any other dark types, there's really nothing for you since Murkrow and Stunky were removed.

edit; Moving this back to DPPt where it belongs. Don't know how it got here in the first place. :/

Mystery event?

I have pokemon platinum, and I just got the mystery gift option on the main menu. What do I do now? How do I know when the mystery event is happening? Help from anyone would be nice.
