Ok. Thanks a lot for the help. :)

Hello. Ok i need help with what move i used equip my pokemon with

these are my all time favorite pokemon and i will battle with them.

I Have as follows:

Fearow with modest nature (ability keen eye)
Garchomp with bold nature (ability sand veil)
Blastoise with bold nature (ability torrent)
Heatran with bold nature (ability flash fire) (i have been wanting to replace this one with another fire type)
Haunter with hasty nature (ability levitate)
Scizor with bashful nature. (ability swarm)

And what items would you people recommend equiping my pokemon with?

If you want to battle with them in-game or in the Battle Tower/Frontier, attach good items such as Leftovers, Life Orb, Choice Band/Scarf/Specs, Lum Berry, etc.

If you want to battle with them over Wifi, I'm afraid that your team isn't quite ready. You may have to breed them to get the proper nature and then train them for proper EVs (or Effort Values; if you don't know what this means, look at this post).

Browse this site for nice movesets for your Pokemon. Feel free to post in this thread if you need a moveset for a Pokemon.

For general questions about battling, post in this thread.

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

I know it's a lot, but you have a lot of resources and helpers. :]

Hey can anybody tell me if Big Root will double the HP drained from Leech Seed?
I reckon it's worth replacing my Ludicolo's leftovers if I can add an extra 8th recovery with Big Root but I wasn't sure if it would work for a move like leech seed!
I'm about to go out, could you PM me an answer?
Thanks a bunch

According to Smogon, Big Root allows Leech Seed to heal 30% more, but doesn't inflict more damage on the target.

I don't think it's worth replacing Leftovers with. Leech Seed is resisted by Grass types, can miss, or be can switched out of. It doesn't guarantee recovery like Leftovers.

If I breed a male Togetic with Nasty Plot with a female Togetic that only knows level moves, will the Togepi's have Nasty Plot?

edit: same goes, if a Male Togetic with NP is bred with a Ditto will the egg's also have the move?

Thanks =)

Yes. It works both ways.

Is your pokemon weaker if u lvl them up with rare candies to lvl 100?

hey u guys and yes i cheat my platinum game with the action replay ds but i refuse to cheat legendaires i got giratina fair and square... Anyway if u feed your pokemon rare candies do they learn moves and evolve and does it go to there max hp or does it not? cuz i was told if u feed ur pokemon rare candies they wont be as strong in hp.

 

[Riggzyd]

You could just EV train them in hp and watch out i heard if you use to many cheats on Action Replay it can permanently Damage your DS/DS Game

 

[Vidgamer4]

they wouldn't have gotton any EVs and would be UT at level 100

Would it be possible to trade a Member Card from the Platinum WiFi event over to Diamond? A few of my friends have Platinum and they're off catching Darkrai while I'm feeling jipped. xD

 

[jigglyppuff8]

No. The Member's Card is a Key Item and can't be held by a Pokemon or traded.

They will not be as strong as trained Pokemon in any stat, not just HP. To remedy this, use vitamins (Calcium, etc) or train them and then rare candy after they gain all of their EVs.

Unfortunately, no.

Slow computer, go. >:C

Where is the best place to EV train for Attack? I'm having some trouble finding a place with a large amount of Pokemon that give Attack EVs, so hopefully there's a better place that I haven't thought of yet :p

I have a question about the Battle Hall in the Battle Frontier.

Are you allowed to switch pokemon, while going on a battle?

I mean,

Adamant Salamance but then after some other battles, a Modest Salamance

In D/P you can find Gyarados on Route 229 using Super Rod. The encounter rate is 100% and it gives you 2 Atk EVs.
There should be such places in Platinum as well, but I don't know where right now. Check out Serebii.

A great place to EV train for Attack is Route 212. In Route 212, there is both Kricketune and Bibarel which is useful as they both help you in Attack. In Route 202 you can get EV's in Attack from Shinx, but I would reccomend Kricketune and Bibarel as they give you 2 EV's instead of 1 from Shinx.

Actually, yes, you can use the same species in Battle Hall. I tested it myself.
