Quick Question and Answer Thread / Breeding Questions

^ do you mean a game card like a legit copy of the game that you bought legally or a flash cart that you downloaded an Illegal rom and put it on there?

If it is the first one you'll have to start over if it is the second you will probably have to start over too not sure though don't know much about flash carts or cards or whatever they're called seen it both ways
 
Is there a way for me to check my newly hatched Pokemon's IVs?
 
Have an IV battle (Wi-Fi level 100 battle, record the Pokémon's stats) and use an IV calcuator.

The Gentleman and Socialite on Route 212 give a hefty amount of cash for easy battles.

This is how I've learned to make cash. Amulet Coin + Vs. Seeker = 24,400 bones per battle. The guy has a Chatot, the woman has a Roselia, and they use potions.
 
Ok I need to know if Roserade is hacked

It's Hp 324 Atck 215 Def 209 SpAtck 383 SpDef 309 Speed 279
 
That Roserade has 252 EVs and 31 IVs in everything. So, yes. It is hacked.

What is chaining?

What is chaining? I have seen it talked about but never found an explanation. I have also played Pearl the whole way through, but never encountered it.

The simplest explanation is that chaining is when you use the Poké Radar to purposely run into the same species of Pokémon about 40 times. Doing so makes the chances that you run into a shiny go way up. There's a guide here for Pearl and a really good illustrated one by Froggy as well as countless videos on YouTube.
 
I have a crush on shookie, is that okay??
No, I keed.
My questions are,
What are the easiest SWARM Pokemon to Chain?
What are the easiest NON SWARM Pokemon to train?
What SWARM Pokemon is the easiest to chain with Static/Magnet Pull?
What NON SWARM Pokemon is easiest to chain with Static/Magnet Pull?
Thanks in advance.

What version? Most of this is DP, but check Bulbapedia:

1. My first shiny swarm success was Corsola
2. Bidoof, Shinx, Starly, or imo Ponyta (DP Day Southern Route 210 only = 50% encounter rate)
3. Electrike (note Elekid/Pachirisu), Magnemite (note Aron), Voltorb, Nosepass all have 70% encounter rate with proper ability
4. Pichu (morning Trophy Garden = 40% encounter rate with proper ability)


Static/Magnet Pull boosts encounter rate by 30%, last time I checked. However, Bulbapedia claims that Magnet Pull increases Steel encounters by 150% when the ability leads the party. 60% versus 70%, meh. Still good to use.

- Any swarms are easy to chain. I'd say the hardest would be Beldum (hard to capture, not chain) and any that are in areas with bad weather (Delibird, Spinda).
- Pokémon by the beginning areas are the easiest to start chaining with, like Shinx, Starly, Bidoof, etc.
- Voltorb and Electrike are both Electric, for Static, and Beldum is the only Steel-type swarmer, for Magnet Pull.
- I'd say Shinx is the easiest for Static, but the Trophy Garden is good for Pichu/Pikachu, and Valley Windworks is good for Mareep, Pachirisu, and so on. For Magnet Pull, Aron is right outside Fuego Ironworks, but it's a Poké Radar exclusive Pokémon so you might want to practice first before starting there. There's also Skarmory (low percentage and annoying to catch) and Magnemite/Magneton. For both of them, Route 222 has Electabuzz (Static), Luxio (Static) and Magnemite/Magneton (Static and Magnet Pull) as well as Flaaffy (Poké Radar only).

I'm going off of Platinum information, so some of the appearance info might be off for Diamond or Pearl.
 
If I use Light Screen while holding Light Clay, and then switch pokemon, does it still last 8 turns?
 
Ok can someone examine this Gengar and tell me if it's hacked or not please, it used to be a Haunter then evolve to Gengar after trade:

From what I can tell, assuming the person who gave it to you got it from HG/SS, it's legit.

Click to expand...
Yep, it lasts even if switched out.
 
Why not D/P/P? I'll ask him for more detail
 
You can't encounter a level 19 Haunter in the wild in DPPt. It's either level 16 or 44-66. In HG/SS you can encounter level 19 Haunters at night.
