Okay thanks

how do you tell about EVS?
as im new i havent got a clue about all this EV stuff - is there a place on here that explains it?

An EV guide is here. Unfortunately, it's a very well hidden value so unless you've been keeping track of which Pokemon your Pokemon have battled and how many, it's impossible to tell your Pokemon's EV count.

Edit: What TB said. o3o;
 
okay thanks that helps.

now a second question what CANT Ditto breed with?
i know there are some that cant be breeded but what cant
i know Ditto cant, im guessing the Legends cant but are there any other

Endeavor Learned By Staravia: Good Idea or Bad Idea?

Dear People,

I've recently begun a game of Pokemon Platinum and have just passed Oreburgh City victorious in acquiring a Coal Badge. However, in my Pokemon training regime, I have come to an impasse of indecision! I cannot decide whether or not it would be beneficial for me to replace any of my level 18 Staravia's moves with "Endeavor". While I can figure in a devastating last-ditch strategy with that move (with the exception of missing a certain item) I cannot help wondering if there would more appealing strategies with his current-future move sets!

So, here I stand, torn with indecision wondering if there is anybody out there who could assist me with this dilemma! So, with utmost conviction, I pose this question to you people, appealing to your honesty and expertise, is there any worth in adding "Endeavor" to my level 18 Staravia's repertoire of battle techniques?

Thank you for your consideration and may you have an AWESOME day. Cheers!

Yup, it can breed with anything besides what TwilightBlade posted. ^^
 
Apparently, another question came in mind.
So if someone has a flawless Ditto (which I do) will an offspring have good chance of getting most of those ivs. And if both parents have good ivs will the chances increase? Although I heard the chances of getting a flawless Pokemon is
1.073.741.924.

The chances are best if you have two flawless parents because when you are IV breeding 3 randomly chosen IVs from the parents go down (they can overlap so you could have both's att IV, males defense IV, and females defense IV) and then you get random IV's for the other IV's that weren't passed down.

So if you breed two pokemon with 31/31/31/31/31/31 you may get 31/x/31/x/31/x or something like that at best or they could overlap and you may get x/31/x/x/x/x (X's represent randomly chosen IV's)

Hope I helped.

Why wouldn't it be able to? Especially Kadabra.

i was just wondering with Gastly being a ghost!

Anyway thanks for clearing everything up
 
I have recently purchased for myself a secondary copy of Platinum. I own two DS units.

Questions of my own:

#1: Will I essentially be able to obtain (via wireless communication) as many Darkrai/Shaymin as my "reset" speed provides considering my main first Platinum contains the Wi-Fi gift things for Darkrai/Shaymin (the key and letter, respectively) ?

Also...

I have in the past played Pokemon Diamond (two different copies, one per DS unit, friend code obtained at a point for each pairing).

Will having played and registered Diamond on a/both DS unit/(s) create an issue of some kind should I ever want to replace my Diamond interest?

You can use ENDEAVOR for some of your Legend catching needs. Assuming you have low health from the start, an option is to ENDEAVOR then follow up with a switch to Pokemon X for the Sleep or Paralyze status. Or you could start with the Synchronize, switch for status, switch again for the Endeavor and end with the Ball.

Double battles work for this as you can False Swipe and stuff to the limits of your own patience.
 
Can someone tell me if this Deoxys is legit or not? I THOUGHT it was, but now I'm not so sure... (Which really sucks, 'cause Deoxys is one of the few events I missed and am trying to get)

DEOXYS

I'm not good at hack-checking, but what really gets me is the date received -- after I already traded, I read somewhere that the Gamestop Deoxys dates ended on the 29, but this one is the 30. It's hacked, isn't it? Argh...

According to Bulbapedia, only the Japanese Secret Key can be locally distributed to a friend up to 5 times... So, I do not think that your idea about the Letter/Key may work. You can try it if you want, though. As for your other question, if you keep the games in their proper DS, the friend code should not change... D:

The date does not matter on Wonder Card events, as the DS calendar can be changed. Also, Deoxys could have been picked up later. It appears to be fine.
 
Could anyone how can I win against my rival as every time his Pokemon is powerful than mine. All I can do is to hurt his Pokemon some but every time he is beating me.
 
i have an EXP Share item and i was wondering do pokemon that i give this to get EV points as well?
 
thats great thanks for the info
 
For capturing perfect Wondercard pokemon, I know NPC's advance the frame by 1 if they turn or 2 if they walk...but are there any other factors that advance the frame? Does time advance the frame? I keep missing my frame by one even though I slightly pause before collecting my pokemon...Help please!
