Hatch and release them. There's no other way, unfortunately. But hey, maybe you'll get lucky and one of those eggs turn out shiny or has high IVs.

I just got Pearl and I still have no legit shines but after my first legit can I cheat to get my favorite Pokemon and that is Flaeron. Back in the days of yellow version(I have that and blue then my brother has red the originals BTW) Flaeron was my best Pokemon with the move body slam I got him to 75 which is the highest lvl Pokemon I have on it. I just want to know if I can cheat to get a shiny one and admit I cheated.

Then you can just trade them away.

Flareon can learn Body Slam via move tutor in FR/LG. I don't think cheating is a good idea, though.
 
What? Catching and hatching shiny has the exact same odds, 1 out of like...5000 something, unless you chain or breed with foreign pokemon. Sure your eggs aren't too likely to hatch shiny but hey, you might be the lucky one. And I'm pretty sure hatching and releasing those eggs are still way faster than trading them all away to someone who actually wants them.
 
Can I cheat for a shinny Flaeron he is my favorite and I dont like SR im still hunting for my first shinny but after that may I cheat and admit that I have?

Go ahead and cheat on your own game but if you try to trade anyone your cheated stuff around here, you're gonna get smacked around like a pinball.
 
well i was in jublife city and while i was doing the questions to get the poketech thing i noticed the "looker" by a sign on the east exit of town where you battle the rival/friend......so wat happened is that i didnt talk to him....and after i got my poketech, he was gone.....so im askin anyone who can help me : Did i miss anything by not talking to the looker at that moment?...thanks in advance!
 
I believe that he's only there to tell you to get the Poketch and block your path and keep you from leaving town without it. He's supposed to disappear once you obtain it.
 
hey so im in the beggining still and i want to know if theres any good water pokemon i can catch in-game to be part of my squad...... i caught a magikarp but i dont have the time to train that sucker......so any suggestions would be nice...and yea i could bring anything over from my heartgold but im tryin to challenge myself as im only guna bring over a magnemite to get a magnezone....so thanks! oh and also im tryin to keep the team as "sinnoh" as possible thats why im askin for somethin i can get IN-GAME....thanks...
 
^ The first that comes to my mind is Buizel, a fast physical attacker. You can get it at Valley Windworks (next to Floaroma Town) or at the south part of route 205 (also next to Floaroma.)
 
Shellos also works out if you're into Gastrodon, with only a grass weakness, good HP, and later access to Recover. However, it's low speed may be something you're not into, so as rndm said, Buizel and its evolution Floatzel also work out fine for fast and powerful attacks.

Or you could go with Bibarel if you decide to go with a Bidoof
 
If anyone is familiar wiht hacking pokemon saves...


Do pokemon have IVs already generated when they are eggs, or are they generated at hatching?
 
IV's are set once you take the egg. However, other factors like nature, ability, and gender are set before you take the egg, so if you save right before taking delivery of the egg, and it turns out that upon hatching the baby has the right nature, ability, and gender but bad IV's, you can soft reset, take the egg again, and try for better IV's while keeping the same nature, ability, and gender.

Buizel is a decent option
Gastrodon is pretty good as well...
To be honest, Sinnoh didn't really introduce many good NEW water types. However all of the old ones that exist in Sinnoh are pretty good. If you do have the patience to train Magikarp into Gyarados, then that is one of the best options, as long as you go physically offensive, and have Dragon Dance, Waterfall, and Ice Fang. The last move is up to you. I reccomend surf just cause you will definitely need it to get around.
 
Hi,

Quick question.

I'm usually not a cheating kind of person, but I wanted to start my new Platnium game with a both the grass/fire starter, so I looked into the "catch opponents Pokemon" cheat as I can't find any others to use, and I only have one console.

I was just wondering after I catch his Pokemon, will he just have one less Pokemon in all of our battles, or will he get the starter replaced with the remaining starter? etc.etc.

Thanks whoever can help.

Anyone have any ideas on how to see all of the platinum pokemon? My Pokedex only has about 110

Search for the locations, or trainers that have them, or even trade for pokemon to get in your dex entries(pending you have wifi). It may be easier if you tell us the dex entries you a missing and we can help you find the trainers or area's with the said pokemon you are missing on your dex. Or if you don't know the pokemon post the dex numbers.
