Quick Question and Answer Thread / Breeding Questions

Platinum card, don't even have any R4 cards.
 
In Platinum to rebattle the Elite 4 with them having higher levels, you need to do the Stark Mountain sidequest.
 
If I have a Pokémon with Pokérus and Power Lens at the top of my party, encounter a Gastly, and switch to another Pokémon, will I get 10 EVs for the Pokérus Pokémon?
 
I'm training my team for the elite four. 3/6 are up to par, the rest, not so much. I was wondering where I could train them(I literally don't know, only had platinum 2 weeks.)
I trained my torterra/quagsire/magnezone at victory road, it was easy since they knew moves that easily beat the rock and flying types in there.
Where are some strong wild pokemon they could train on, or some high level trainers that I could use vs seeker on?
I need to train my:
lvl 50 rapidash
lvl 49 umbreon
lvl 49 crobat
 
Erm, quick question. I got a bad Cresselia (Wrong RNG XD).
It's in Pearl, so if I kill it, will it respawn like in Platinum?
 
Stuck in pearl

Yes I know im a Noob but I need some help.

I am stuck on my Pokemon pearl and i really dont know what to do.

I currently have 4 Gym badges and im trying to get into the Heartstone one but of course she isent there. This is because i havent got that potion for the psyducks because cythia isent at the lake.

Now from my very reliable source I have learnt that this is because I first need to empty the Veilstone Team galactic building BUT....

I dont have the HQ key.


Where and if not how can i find a way of doing this.


Thanks

Ok, i think you should go to the eastern entrance of the galactic veilstone HQ, and speak to a guy standing in front of the building next to a sattelite receiver. I dont know for sure, could be something else, but it´s worth a try.

Here you are,
 
Ok...so, i have a question.

I've got my 20 win streak to get to Dalia, but i lost, i KO'd two pokes, but Medicham swept me (although Feraligatr was lv.36, he did well in other games). This is the team i used:

Electivire:Thunder,Fire,Ice Punch, Cross Chop
Lucario:Dragon Pulse,Aura Sphere, Water Pulse (for E4 Flint),Vacuum Wave
Feraligatr:Waterfall,Dragon Dance,Crunch,Ice Fang


Is there any pokes with certain movesets i can swap in?(preferably not egg moves, as Electivire wasn't mine-lucky GTS trade)
Also, with Lucario, he's staying special-based if you can recommend better movesets.
 
Unidentified Flying Aces
Electivire: Thunder, Fire, Ice Punch, Cross Chop

This looks fine, although you could swap Ice Punch for Earthquake for more coverage (Feral has Ice).

Lucario: Dragon Pulse, Aura Sphere, Water Pulse (for E4 Flint), Vacuum Wave

Ditch Water Pulse for Shadow Ball (for Medicham). Your concern is the Battle Frontier, not the E4 now.

Feraligatr: Waterfall, Dragon Dance, Crunch, Ice Fang

This looks fine, but why did you say that Feraligatr is level 36? Surely it must be level 50 in the Battle Arcade... Level it up if not.

Your team appears to focus on sweepers... As you have two physical sweepers, I suggest that you ditch one (probably Feral, lower base stats IIRC) and pick up a bulkier Pokemon, such as Cresselia. Her ability, Levitate, complements Vire's/Lucario's weakness. If you foresee Earthquake, switch out to Cress and take no damage.

A good Cresselia set would be:

Bold
252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
~ Reflect
~ Moonlight / Rest
~ Ice Beam
~ Thunder Wave / Psychic

Reflect helps with your teams mostly physical weaknesses, Ice Beam takes over from Feral, T-Wave helps your somewhat slow sweepers, and Moonlight is for Cress to obviously heal.

Be sure to abuse the game board in Arcade to your advantage...

If you're already caught a Cress and she isn't Bold or another suitable nature, maybe try GTS or the Trade Corner. :(
 
Where is the guy who teaches you deleted moves in Platinum?

I need to teach my Gyrados Dragon Dance...what move should I delete from his moveset: Waterfall, Dragon Pulse, Blizzard, Avalanche...

And what is the ideal moveset for these Pokemon:

Absol, Raichu, Torterra, Staraptor (Knows Fly), Arcanine, and Gyrados...my team.

Pastoria, in a house a little southeast of the Pokemon center. The man accepts Heart Scales to tutor your Pokemon old moves. These scales can be randomly found on wild Luvdisc or Underground. Get rid of......... Blizzard.

Your best bet is either browse Smogon.com or to post here. However, if this team is ingame, teach whatever you want, mostly attack moves. In game trainers are fairly easy to defeat.
 
It is in game but I think after I fully go through everything, I'm going to start training up a competition team, BUT, I have no clue on how to EV train, breed, etc.
 
Well... There is always time to learn.

Description of EVs is here.

Browse aforementioned Smogon site for general movesets for your Pokemon.

Feel free to post in this thread if you need a moveset for a Pokemon.

For general questions about battling strategies and for requesting individual movesets, post in this thread.

Basically, the Strategies forum is ideal for you. There are many other helpful stickies.

I know it's a lot, but you have a lot of resources and helpers. :P
 
The moverelearner is in Pastoria City.
As for the movesets:
Gyarados: Dragon Dance, Ice Fang, Waterfall, Earthquake.
Staraptor: Return, Brave Bird, Close Combat, U-Turn
Arcanine: Fire Fang, Thunder Fang, Extremespeed, Will-o-Wisp/Crunch (Crunch is preferred, Growlithe learns it at level 42 if you didn't evolve it earlier)
Absol: Swords Dance, Psycho Cut, Payback, Fire Blast
Torterra: Earthquake, Wood Hammer, Crunch, Curse
Raichu: Thunderbolt, Nasty Plot, Grass Knot, Focus Blast.
These are some personal preferrances.

Would a Calm Mesprit or Bashful Uxie do the same trick?

And yes, i've levelled up Feraligatr.

or would Gengar work?

His set:
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
Focus Blast
Dark Pulse (his HP is dragon, kinda fail).

I was thinking i could use:

Feraligatr
Gengar
Mesprit/Uxie/(if i really have to go get the darn thing)Cresselia



And is Latias bannned?i have a shsiny modest one with Surf/Grass Knot/Psychic/Dragon Pulse that just needs levelled up
 
Hey guys.

I was just wondering: In my Platinum's Mystery Gift, there is an option called "Receive from friend". Now, both me and my friend have the Oak's Letter to receive Shaymin, but both of our Shaymins are crappy. I thought "Hmm.. maybe I can restart my game, do this WiFi thingy with my friend, and then I can get a new, better Shaymin?"

I just need confirmation from you guys: IF I restart my game, can I then receive an Oak's Letter from my friend's Mystery Gift?

Pictures if you don't understand what I mean:

https://i49.tinypic.com/2rrryuu.jpg <-- The "Receive from a friend" option
