Quick Question and Answer Thread / Breeding Questions

Is it possible that the Technican ability is a lot rarer than the Swarm ability on Scyther? I just caught 4 Scythers on Platinum, all of them have Swarm as their ability. I was always thinking abilities are 50-50... Or is this just coincidence?

If a Pokémon can have more than 1 ability, one of them is chosen randomly, so the chance of getting Techinician on a Scyther is 50%.
 
Okay, well, I've hatched my Riolu Egg in platinum and trained it to level nine. I'm increasing it's happiness via Bitter-Sour Poffins. How many more poffin's will it take if Riolu's happiness is currently at 2 small hearts (Note that the Poffin's a lvl 32).
 
Poffins don't increase happiness at all actually. Only leveling up, walking around, massages, and using items on it (such as healing items and vitamins) will raise its happiness.

Thanks! Maybe I wasn't riding around enough for an egg to be produced. :[

Ugh I have another question, which I guess goes here too:

Is it possible to get a Teddiursa/Ursaring through breeding in D/P/Pt without actually having one of the aforementioned Pokemon? :[

Is Giratina Origin Forme worth using a Master Ball on? Because I've tried everything, and the dusk/timer/ultra balls will not hold Giratina in....

It's your choice. I mean, you have so many legendaries to catch in platinum. If there's a certain one you want really bad, then save it for that one.


I've been doing a lot of mining for treasure in the underground, and 6 hours after I mined a lot in one area, I'm not getting any more treasure spots on my mini-map. Are there any tips/tricks to find more treasure spots?

Change the date of your DS.
It has only a certain number of spot each day.
Once you dig them all, you have to wait until the next or change the date of your DS ;)
 
Out of Mimic, Mirror Move, and Copycat, can any/all of them copy Metronome?
 
Can anyone give me a few tips on how to make it easier to catch Azelf? I narrowed it's HP down to 1 with false swipe, then put it to sleep. I kept using dusk, ultras then timers on it whilst asleep and it still won't hold. Help?

Those are the tips. Just keep doing it.
 
I want to use GTS in Platinum to get a forien Snorlax? What can I do to make it happen? My game does not display what level people are asking for, I can only see what species they want. When offering a pokemon I can only specify gender, not language. I just started using GTS yesterday, so I was just wandering if there was some thing I cound do to make the trade happen.
