Quick Question and Answer Thread / Breeding Questions

Several times when chaining I lose the chain for no reason when walking through the grass. Losing a chain because of this after 35 is very frustrating.
Does that happen to everyone? Right after the battle it will show the pathches that shake and when I am walking to reset the pokeradar, it ends. UGH
 
Happened to me a couple of times. You need to be quick in getting those 50 or less steps as well as not straying too far from where you were last chaining or else your chain will end early. Those are my observations anyway.

aaah. Im new to this chaining thing and im working my way along..slowly getting higher and higher. I heard its easier to chain swarm pokemon, but today they were in a bad spot..so went looking for anything around the first 2 towns..
 
1) Does Flame Body and that other ability that speeds up hatching stack? ie. Having one pokemon with Flame Body in your party and another one that has the other ability.
2)Just wanted to see if anyone can answer this, exactly why is Gyarados also considered a Flying type?
 
I think Gyarados is flying type because its character model is based on some myth that involved a flying water serpent or something.
 
does the pickup ability work after trainer battles, like the elite 4?
or just against wild pokemon?
 
It's description on other web sites say that it has a 10% chance to pick up and item after each battler and I've had it happen to me before, so I'll say yes, it does work after trainer battles.
 
What is the item called "TinyMushroom" and what is it for/what does it do? I checked Serebii, but I didn't see it on the item list.

I think it doesn't do anything in the game. But im not quite sure. Maybe it enchance a certain type of Pokemon. That's what i think.

You can sell it for 250$, and if you are playing FR/LG, you can use the Move Relearner in exchange for them
 
I was just EV training my Larvitar. I was using the power weight and pokerus to make the Ev's earned 10 (I was training against Bidoofs). I kept track, and I earned 86 HP Evs. But, when I went to go give it an HP Up (Planning to give it 9 for a total of 176), it wouldn't take them. What did I do wrong?
 
if you already caught a shiny can you keep the chain going and still have the same probability to catch another one?

The vitamins only work if the amount of EVs you have in that stat is below 100. Since it has 86 EVs, I'm going to guess that you used two HP Ups, and then it stopped taking them since 106 > 100.

why do people look at the trainer card before catching a shiny pokemon?

been watching youtube vids on chaining

It does nothing, so I'm going to say that they do it because they feel like it.

No, it wouldn't take the first HP Up I gave it. I did give it a Protein, just 1, however. I'm still at 86.
 
are the unsafe spots below, based on being at the edges of the grass, or based on being at the edge of the 4x4 grid the radar uses?

The probability of finding a shiny is determined by your SID, and to an extent by your ID, so that may be why.

It doesn't matter the time you take walking the ≤50 steps to reset the radar. You could leave your DS alone for days, and provided the pokémon you were chaining doesn't only appear at a certain time and wasn't a swarm pokémon, the chain should still be there.

Also, it's 10 steps. You can't go more than 10 steps from where you fought the last chain-continuing pokémon.



EDIT: Just verifying that what the below poster said is indeed true.
