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

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

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?
 
I tried to release a Quagsire (filler for a trade) I got from FiveOneZero (before my DS broke) and it disappears and reappears in my party and says "it came back! was it worried about you?" what is this and how do I get rid of the Quagsire so I know once Ive fixed my DS

IT does that because it's the only Pokémon you have with a certain HM move. Try deleting all its HMs and re-release it again. ​
 
when EV training, say speed training, and i KO Starly, but i run into somthing else, if i run away from that certain pokemon, will it reset my EV stats that i earn from KOing starly? (is it like the Chains for the catching shiny? or somthing different?)​

Effort Values cannot be reset by anything other than EV-reducing berries; so don't worry about running from unwanted Pokémon while EV-training. ​

Nothing much happens.

You don't need the National Dex to trade with HG/SS. And no, an English Platinum can't trade with a Japanese HG/SS, games can trade only with games of their language.
