Quick Question and Answer Thread / Breeding Questions

when is the best time to evolve a nuzleaf into a shiftry?

Once it learns Extrasensory.

I have a question about Hidden Power. I understand how it works (some crazy complex formula that's based on IVs), but still... watching these poke vids on youtube, it seems that people almost ALWAYS have the exact Hidden Power type they need. Is this by chance? Or is there any recommended way to tweak it to your favor while breeding (without having to hatch 200 eggs). Or are people taking the shortcut and using action replay or something of that nature?

Usually, people get the desired IV's by breeding and/or searching tirelessly through the wild and/or trading. :)
 
yeah.there's a good chance these vids are people who've waited for ages.

But if its legends, like Suicune @HP Electric, it's probably hacked (mine was)
 
Question: - Thanks anyone who helps

Can i turn my game off overnight etc whilst i leave my breeding pokemon in?
Will i still receive an egg or will i have to walk around in order to get one?

AND

Can i trade eggs and if i do, when they hatch will the game i traded them to be the OT?


Thanks
 
You can leave your Pokemon in the daycare overnight.

You must walk around to get eggs. You can't just leave the game alone and expect an egg to appear.

You can trade eggs. When they hatch, the OT will be of the game it is traded to.
 
Question: When should I evolve my Pikachu and Growlithe.

My Growlithe is lv.36 (I know if I evolve him I'll learn Extremespeed at 39 but if not I will later learn Fire Blitz and Overheat I think?) also with Pikachu I just caught and is now lv.25 and I could hold off until I reach lv. 45 and learn Thunder and then evolve him?

I have both stones and I am preparing to battle Wake on Platinum. Let me know your thoughts.
 
For growlithe, just evolve him. You'd be better off (at least I think) teaching it fire blast(buy TM from veilstone dept.), flamethrower, extremespeed, and whatever other move.

For pikachu, since you can buy the TM for thunder, don't bother waiting for him to learn it. For him, I'd say go with thunderbolt and thunder, and the other 2, whatever. If you want to level him to 37 for discharge, thats fine too.
 
That's what I'll do then, thanks bro :)

Pikachu has a few more levels but I can level Growlithe now and just level him up 1 more and learn Extremespeed with Arcanine. Very excited now :)
 
Platinum Explorer Kit trouble!

ok, here is my problem, i can not use Explorer Kit to get to Underground, it just keep saying : "A communication error has occur You will be returned to the title screen Please press the A button", that's it, title screen again and again, when i try in Diamons or Pearl, it just works fine. Any suggestion please?

Possibly something is interfering with your connection
 
More Questions:

I just got to Celestic Town and beat Cyrus and now apparently I'm in need of a water Poke. I do want one to use and to have a strong one but I don't want a bunch of HM slaves and Surf isn't a bad move either. Is their any good water Pokemon around my area (Celestic town) or anywhere I could fly to and quickly onbtain one. All I have for a HM Slave is Bidoof and he can't learn it...
