Would Bidoof/Bibarel work as a wall/stall if properly EV trained?

Need some help with National Dex...

Okay, so I am a complete noob here and to the pokemon games (I know, I'm so late, haha) but I beat the elite 4 already and now I'm trying to obtain the national dex. I have a few questions.
It says I've seen 148 pokemon, and I have one egg for the Riolu that is going to hatch (which would bring me up to 149). The problem is I, being naive, used my dusk stone on my muckrow to evolve it. Now I'm thinking the only pokemon I'm missing is Mismagius, which also uses a dusk stone. I know there's another one in Victory Road but someone told me you have to have the national dex in order to get it! Ugh.

My question is was there any battles where the trainer used Mismagius (I can't remember if I've actually seen it or not) as well as Machamp (again, can't remember) and is there any way besides memory to know if you've seen a pokemon or not?
I would really appreciate some help here, lol
Thanks for reading!

Edit: Forgot to mention, I have Pokemon Diamond.

I don't have a friend code yet because the wi-fi at my house sucks, but I'll try to get it at school today and update later.

I think you have to see all the Pokemon, not catch them. Also if you have Surf, that would mean that you would've had to have seen Mismagius, since Fantina(5th Gym Leader) uses one. Hope this helps

I haven't really battled much people with a Bidoof or Bibarel before but if you go to a website called Serebii, they have everything you need to know about EV training whichever pokémon. Click Here.
If you scroll all the way down, it should tell you what Bibarel is good at and whatnot.

Another place to get team information on Bibarel and Bidoof is to go the Pokémon Strageties and Movesets section. Go ahead and read the rules before you post there as that section requires certain threads there to ask a question such as yours.

is there a way to stop pokemon from learning moves from the day care center in diamond?

 

[jigglyppuff8]

No. It's best to put the moves you want to keep near the bottom as the top moves will get deleted first if you plan to level up solely through day care.

EDIT:Sorry, ignore me.I misread, didn't know you were on Diamond

 

[jigglyppuff8]

Just want to point out that Heart Scales will be of little help with Egg Moves, tutored moves, and TMs, though.

Also, you get Heart Scales by going underground and digging up treasure in D/P, not by the News Press. That's a Pt exclusive.

EV's training

So I just bred a brand new Jolteon to train for max stats. It has solid IV's, a timid nature to promote speed and is very finicky. I've started the training process and have been keeping track of EV's for speed but the last two level ups, none of the EV's affected stat growth at all (which is bogus because by my count he had at least 16-18 EV's per level up which should have at least added four points correct?).
Anyone think they can help me and should I breed another since I may have somehow wasted some of the limited EV's?

By the way, all the training was done against Starly's with macho brace first time power anklet second.

can you get a ditto in diamond by trade before you have the national pokedex?

You can obtain any Pokemon via trade, even before you get the National Pokedex, so long as you have reached Sandgem Town (for local trading) and Oreburgh City (for wi-fi trading)

 

[Kendall]

That's completely normal. Stat boosts by EVs are spread throughout your leveling up until 100. You won't gain all the stat boosts from EV training until you reach level 100. When you first level up after just beginning to EV train, it gives you very high stat boosts because it is accounting for all the levels below your current level that you did not EV train. If you EV trained at level 99, and then leveled up to 100, all of your stat boosts would go all the way up at the same time (for example, 252 evs gives you +63 in a stat, so you would get all of that +63 all at once, instead of spread out over the levels).

Sorry if that sounded a little too complicated.

 

[Grey Narciaa]

Ooooohhh man I feel foolish.
No thanks ALOT amigo I just thought I was completely messing up something.

 

[Calvo819]

That's definitely not legit. Besides, Shiny Pokémon aren't so hard to get legitimally these days. ​

its hard for me to find shinys even while using the...Pokeradar thing ;.;

Pre-National Dex Trading

What happens if you trade with a D/P/Pt cart that has post-National Dex Pokemon but you don't have the National Dex yet?

P.S.
Do you need the National Dex to trade with HG/SS? Can an English Platinum trade with Japanese HG/SS?
