Which is more rare; Your Pokémon getting Pokérus? Or encountering a shiny?
Also, what are the chances of getting each on back to back days?
Yes, it did happen to me. :D

The chance of finding a shiny is 1/8192 and a 3 in 65,536 for Pokerus. Maybe one of the Pokemon on your team gave the shiny Pokerus during the battle? I don't know the ratio for both, sorry.
 
So I've been trying to get my way through super singles in the battle subway and no luck getting past the first 7 so far -_- So I was just wondering if i do beat 7 in a row will I recieve the standard 3bp or more? Because I don't want to be wasting my time when I could be picking easy Bp up on the regular single train...

Yeh i checked both versions on serebii, my one is like the one on the right

Japanese Dream World Pokemon are shiny-checked (AKA can't be shiny). I've heard nothing about Eu/A games not being shiny checked. Some of the drawings on the DW itself are slightly off their normal colors, it's probably just that.
 
How come these freaking Patrats keep dodging like every 1 in 5 attack from my darumaka that i'm EV training? it's level 24, it shouldn't miss this much on level 2-4's.
 
^ Level has nothing to do with your chance of hitting. You are likely just using an inaccurate attack.
 
Is volcarona considered a legendary? I know you can get the egg to hatch, AND you can catch it, but in the games dialogue, it says Volcarona was "revered as a sun god"

He's what you call a pseudo-legendary...not a legendary technically, but with the catch rate and near the power of one.
 
Correction: He is neither legendary, nor pseudo-legendary. Merely recorded in mythology, and pretty darn rare (although there are two ways to get them in your games - hatch and evolve Larvesta, or catch wild at lv.70). So, whilst it may have been "revered as a Sun god", it's merely a strong pokémon, commonly mistaken as a pseudo-legendary, like Haxorus or Flygon.
 
I need a Special Attack moveset for my Samurott, which I EV'd in SpA and Sp.

Right now it knows Scald, Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, Air Slash

I like Surf over Hydro Pump but since I've been training it I sometimes enter double battles, and Surf messes that up.I love Ice Beam, and Air Slash is an egg move but I'm 50/50 on it due to its power. Any ideas?

Hello, is Metang breed-able in Black? I really want to EV a Beldum from the start.

I'm pretty sure it is, all you need is a Ditto.

And make sure you have a Pokemon with the ability Flame Body or Magma Armor, since it takes a long time to hatch.
 
There's a blockage in Twist Mountain, just near the Icirrus entrance.
I thought those usually disappeared after the E4, but it's still there. What is it?

It is possible that the blockage only disappears in Winter as many different areas are accessible in Winter in Twist Mountain.

Any ideas with the right nature/personality of a Solosis?
Click to expand...

Depends on what you're going for. Modest is always good of course, but if you want to use Trick Room on it Quiet is a great one (+Sp.Atk, -Spd).

As far as personality, do you mean the characteristics? Those just reflect the IVs, so...you want one with high IVs I guess? Lmao.
 
The IVs I usually go with what they're strong if, for example with Golurk, I EV'd his attack (along with him having a nature in attack) and he has an IV characteristic in it, but for Haxorus, he has a nature in attack and is EV'd in attack, but has an IV characteristic in Speed and so I EV'd him in speed
