Quick Question and Answer Thread / Breeding Questions

Heh, uh... this has probably been answered a million times before, but what exactly do you do during an IV battle? I know you record the stats, but after that, do you just stop the match, do you win or lose or what? Will the pokemon gain EVs if it wins, or does that not happen on WiFi?
 
Nobody wins, nobody loses. You're both just supposed to disconnect after you record the stats and/or calculate the IVs. It'll neither count as a win or loss. Pokemon only gain EVs if they gain experience in battle, so no.

Weavile > Should never be used to S.Atk / too weak in S.Atk and no time to set up Nasty Plot (with your Pokemon; with some Sleep status, you may or may not be able to get 1 Nasty Plot in, but Weavile would do more damage using unboosted Physical attacks or Swords Dance)

Togekiss > Moveset is bad. Needs some Roost or Nasty Plot and a paralyzing move like Thunder Wave or Body Slam. Ability should be Serene Grace.

Infernape > Your stats are a mess. Its Atk and S.Atk should always have one distinctly higher than the other. Use only Physical attacks or only Special attacks. Another option is Mixape with Grass Knot / Flamethrower / Nasty Plot / Close Combat.

Espeon > This Espeon is pretty bad.

Electivire > Needs more Earthquake, Ice Punch, and Cross Chop.

Froslass > She's pretty bad without Hail. Too many Physical moves; it prefers Shadow Ball / Thunderbolt / Blizzard / etc. She does a good job setting up Spikes too and is fast enough to Taunt or Destiny Bond.

Mamoswine > Needs more Ice Shards / Ice Fangs, Stone Edge and Superpower.

Vespiquen > This one sucks. She can tank well with Defend Order and Roost (Roost over Heal Order). Other than that, she is pretty bad. Also, it has too many weaknesses.

Tangrowth > Fairly bulky, but the set sucks. Cbf for this one.

There is a potential danger in using any combination of these Pokemon. For one thing, many of them share the same weaknesses.

FIRE - Weavile / Proslass / Mamoswine / Vespiquen / Tangrowth
ROCK - Weavile / Togekiss / Froslass / Mamoswine / Vespiquen
GROUND - Weavile / Infernape / Electivire / Mamoswine
FLYING - Infernape / Vespiquen / Tangrowth

Almost any combination of your team will be OHKO'd by a Pokemon with Stone Edge / Earthquake. The high possibility of Crunch makes this combination even more fatal.

well thanks for letting me know all that, i really appreciate it

what pokemon would you suggest i use that i already have to build a new party around, and what should i add to that party

sorry im such a n00b when it comes to all of this
 
I hardly ever caught more than one pokémon for actual training, but I had to start using my Rotom in Platinum because I picked Chimchar. They, together, have awesome type coverage.

But actually neglecting my starter? Something I've never considered, really. Although I might do it in the future, if I ever get a game that I don't have already (because I hate-hate-hate restarting my games).

Yeah, it doesn't matter where the game is from (unless it's from Korea). You can still transfer the Pokés, as long as you have two Nintendo Dual Screens (DSs and DSes just sound wrong) and/or a reliable friend to help you trade over the Pokés.
 
Birthday on platinum

I read on bulapedia that after you have defeats the Sinnoh Elite 4 and become the Champion Dawn/Lucas will stay at the front side of Rowans's laboratory in Sandgem town. If the player has set the birthday date on the DS Settings, she/He will say the following in conversation when talked to on that day:

"Is today maybe... Your birthday, (player's name)?"
If "Yes":
"Giggle... Congratulations, (player's name)! And many more happy returns!"
If "No":
"Oh, it isn't? I wonder what made me think that today was your birthday?".

so what will happen after the conversation? will you get an item of something I do not know if the same thing happens on D/P too?
 
Can Rotom's Formes be used on Wifi or in the Union room, or are they restricted to Shoddy Battle?

Last I remember, you could use them only in local wireless battles.
 
When EV traing is it ok to...

...use rare candies after they have been maxed out in EVs?

just wondering
 
Yes it is perfectly fine. Also theres a Q&A thread above for small questions like these :)
 
anyone willing to help me out, building a new team, since my team sucks. haha
 
in my first play through of platinum, i played with a turtwig and shinx up until i got the togepi egg.
once i hatched it and evolved it, they got all of my neglect.

they don't even exist anymore, i erased their data.

No, you need to complete the Sinnoh Dex. Oak will contact you once it is open.
