Quick Question and Answer Thread / Breeding Questions

By full 31s do you mean 31/31/31/31/31/31, or just 31 in a single stat?
 
Lol, it's literally like a one in two million chance to get straight 31s randomly. It's really not going to be that hard if you know what you're doing.
 
He means getting 31 in about 1 to 3 stats; it's seriously rare for someone to get 31 in all 6 stats. x_x Though I did get a 29/31/31/14/30/31 Shiny Adamant Metagross after hatching 531 Beldum eggs in Emerald, once.
O_o without cheating?
the chances for that is less than 1 in 1000!
I got a Machop with 28/31/31/5/28/31 in Platinum on my first run-through, and just a day later i found a Shiny Geodude :P
 
The chances for that is definitely not 1/1000 for that kind of pokémon. The parents of a pokémon have a 8-20% chance to pass down some IVs, HP and Defense being near the lower end, and the rest of the stats being near the high end. Is isn't that hard to get a double or triple flawless baby pokémon.

I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about... Do you mean
1) Trainer ID: Check your Trainer Card
2) Secret ID: Can only be viewed with the use of AR
3) Friend Code: Go downstairs in any Pokécenter to get a PalPad, then check it
4) ROM ID: It's 1015 for Diamond
5) Something else...?

You'll need a legitimately caught shiny pokémon, meaning not chained or bred. It has to be a regular shiny. Then you're going to have to use X-Act and Jump's PID applet. They're from Smogon, BTW. Or, you could ask someone here. One of the most helpful people I know, World King, would probably be happy to help you so just ask him.

@Martian: It all depends on what you need for your team. Research the best uses for each pokémon and then choose which one will serve your team best.
 
The shop in Celestic Town would be the way to go. Now, you may be able to get them in a few other cities, but Celestic Town is reliable.

By the way, RNG Reporter (also found on Smogon) is a program that will let you work out your SID from chained shinies, too. You'll need to chain multiples though (around three or four), which isn't that hard if you're even half-decent. You'll need the latest version to do this (7.00).

Oh, and full 31s with breeding are actually pretty easy if you know exactly what you're doing. In the past few days, I've bred about 5 31/x/31/31/31/31 Pokemon, without an AR (and definitely not playing it 24/7). If I was going for a mixed sweeper, then I could probably do a similar amount of full 31s in the same amount of time. The only problem I have is that I don't currently have reliable computer access, so I can't actually check their IVs... I know at least two of them are effectively flawless, though (Roselia and Porygon), and suspect 3 more are - Chansey, Piplup, and Wurmple (don't ask :P). However, I used RNG Reporter to help; without it, it would take much longer, but it's still possible if you have good parents.
If you're not breeding, and don't know how to (or don't want to) manipulate the RNG, then it's much harder; the chances of finding a flawless wild Pokemon are exactly 3/2147483648 (about 1 in 700 million). Again, if you use RNG Reporter, then it's much, much easier (I caught my brother a 31/31/31/31/31/31 Palkia in just a couple of hours).
By the way, 25/20/26/28/30/27 is no easier to get than 31/31/31/31/31/31; all IV combinations are equally hard to get. However, obviously getting at least 25/20/26/28/30/27 is going to be a lot easier. You'd probably want 31 Speed at least, though; Speed is the most important stat to have 31 in (since one point less can mean you go after your opponent, giving them an extra attack, while a point in another stat will just have a very small effect on damage). My own Gengar is 31/10/30/31/31/31, but that's because I'm a perfectionist.
 
Wait, are you telling me about RNG Reporter? If so, I'm already using it, lol.
 
It evolves by happiness, not at a certain level. Once Riolu reaches 220 or higher happiness, he will evolve after the next level-up.
 
Sandstorm and Hail do not affect the damage multiplier of attacks like Sunny Day or Rain Dance do.

However, Sandstorm does increase the Sp. Def of Rock types by 50% and Hail allows Blizzard to ignore accuracy/evasion and pass through Protect/etc. 25% of the time.

In addition, pokémon with the ability Ice Body regain 1/16 of their total health each turn in a hailstorm, pokémon with the ability Snow Cloak have their evasion boosted by 20% in a hailstorm and pokémon with the ability Sand Veil have their evasion boosted by 20% in a sandstorm.
