I know what you are referring to. I am the one that answered you. Again, are you watering at every stage, or just once?

A sweeper is a term of a Poke that has high attack stats and a variety of attacking moves. For example, Alakazam is considered a special sweeper with four special attacks and one of the highest base SAtk in the game. Tyranitar and Salamence are good example of physical sweepers. Swampert and Blaziken can be considered mixed sweepers, since they have both a STAB physical and STAB special attack and good attacking stats.
 
Every stage but the final in one. I watered two plants in their final stage, but I didn't water one...Remember that I said that the message looked like de-veled and you told me to try ?? That's what I did.

Also can nyou tell me the best IV's?
 
EVs and IVs follow the same concept of accentuating a Poke's strengths. There are some exceptions where you would help cover a weakness (i.e. Blissey's Def), but those are quite rare. You should try for as high IVs as possible in every stat, but I will include the three IVs that you can relatively control. Suggestions in bold:

Blaziken@Salac Berry
Blaze
Hasty
-Reversal
-Swords Dance
-Sky Uppercut

Give Blaziken 252 Attack EVs, 252 Speed, 4 Hitpoints. I think is a good EV selection because you have all attacking moves, and with max speed you can kill anything as fast as possible.

Regice@leftovers
Clear Body
[/b]Calm Nature[/b]
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Counter
-Psych Up

Giving Regice special attacks, then explosion, I don't think is very good, because you can replace explosion with counter, and not have to worry about having Attack EVs. A good EV set for this might be... 140 Hitpoints, 56 Defense, 216 Special Attack, 96 Special Defense. Giving Regice special moves then Counter, is good. Then you don't have to worry about Attack EVs for Explosion, as mentioned before.

Cacturne@leftovers
Sand Veil
Mild Nature
-Substitute
-Focus Punch
-Needle Arm
-Leech Seed

Giving Cacturne Leech Seed, and Leftovers makes Substitute almost free (thanks shanecdavis ;)) Good EVs can be 4 Hitpoints, 252 Attack, and 252 Speed. Again like Blaziken, Cacturne can be a quick kill Poke

Skarmory@leftovers
Sturdy
Impish
-Drill Peck
-Spikes
-Substitute/Rest
-Roar

Looks like you've got the good moveset already, except if you're teaching your Cacturne Substitute, you might want to teach Skarmory Rest instead. Good EVs can be 196 Hitpoints, 144 Attack, 96 Defense, 32 Speed, 40 Special Defense.

Flygon@Choice Band
Levitate
Adamant
-Earthquake
-Rock Slide
-Quick Attack
-Dragon Claw

Flygon with Choice Band would do just swell. 4 Hitpoints, 252 Attack, 252 Speed.

Milotic@leftovers
Marvel Scale
Modest/Calm Nature
-Surf
-Ice beam
-Recover
-Toxic/Mirror Coat/Recover

148 Hitpoints, 104 Defense, 16 Speed, 184 Special Attack, 56 Special Defense --- Calm Nature --- 212 Hitpoints, 140 Defense, 20 Speed, 136 Special Attack --- Modest Nature.

I don't know good IVs for Pokes, and I hope these movesets/EV spreads are good. If you want a professional go to shanecdavis, but this is my opinion.

EDIT: shanecdavis already posted, use his over mine. ;)
 
Any suggestion for winning cool/tough/cute/smart contest?
I need help for combo on that category or moves/poke that are good
 
sorry for being such a noob, but i have some simple [and noobish] questions.
What are IV and EV?
When your talking about the moves and such, and mention [pokemon name]@leftovers, what exactly does that mean?
and when your answering the questions about movesets, you mention (STAB), what does that mean?
i like the pokemon games, and i want to know what all these mean so i can be professional

What are IV and EV?Individual Value and effort value, Individual value range from 0-31 the more the better. So with same ev's and nature, the higher the iv's the higher that stat.
Effort Value are bonus point that are gained from defeating pokemon. With maximal 510 EV's. Each 4EV's of same category (speed,atk,etc) it add 1 point more to your pokemon stats. Each stat maximally gained 255 ev's btw so you can add 510 Ev's just to it's speed for exmple
When your talking about the moves and such, and mention [pokemon name]@leftovers, what exactly does that mean?@ means hold, so swampert@leftovers mean swampert and using hold iotem leftovers, heracross@choice band means heracross using hold item choice band
and when your answering the questions about movesets, you mention (STAB), what does that mean?Same Type Attack Bonus; If a pokemon use a move that has same type as it type it have *1.5 attack bonus, Let's say Swampert use earthquake[ground], or houndoom flamethrower[fire]

My Answer in bold...............
 
If you need something about contests, please check the Contests Thread.
 
That really depends on whether or not you have Emerald or not. If you do, then you want to wait to blend berries with the Master Blender that your TV will occasional announce the arrival of. The Master Blender makes perfect level and feel PokeBlocks with you, assuming that you don't suck at blending yourself. If you add a Chesto Berry, he will reciprocate with a Pamtre Berry, giving you a Gold PokeBlock with a level and feel of 55:45 that will increase Feebas' Beauty and Cute stats. I will only take 4-6 blocks in order to raise its Beauty stat enough to evolve into Milotic.

If you don't have Emerald, or don't want to wait for the Master Blender to show up, make sure you ONLY mix records with the Mister, or the lone dude. You will have to use Pamtre yourself though, which are incredibly rare (you only get one in-game) and take long to harvest (3 days). Mister will reciprocate with a cheap Chesto Berry, and the level and feel will only be 50:45, but it is much harder to achieve that than with the Master Blender and it will probably require more blocks to evolve.
 
Can someone tell me how to train my pika ? please include movesets and Ev's
It has timid nature, volt tackle, and lightball. should I evolve it into raichu ? (I heard that pikachu's speed is better than raichu, is that true anyway ??)
I'd like to make it my special sweeper...
 
I once read that you can make your pokemon bad to egg by glitch, how to do that? If i do that to my meganium that was once learn leech seed but deleted will it learn it again or it keep the same moveset? Will it's evs reseted? I need to re-train that meganium

Pikachu's base Spd is 90, while Raichu's base Spd is 100. The only way a Pikachu can be faster than a Raichu is if there is a big difference in the IVs, or if you EV train a Pikachu in Spd and not Raichu. Otherwise, Raichu will ALWAYS be faster. As for the moveset, since you have the Light Ball (probably from ill-gotten means), you could keep it as Pikachu since Raichu doesn't get the attack bonus from Light Ball that Pikachu does. Although if this is strictly in-game (and you don't have access to Surf), you are much better off with Raichu.

Pikachu @ Light Ball
Trait: Static
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Protect / Toxic
- Substitute / Toxic
- Surf
- Thunderbolt

Volt Tackle on Pikachu is a bad idea, due to its weak HP. This is a pathetic thing in-game, to be honest, unless you are a cheater and can get Surf and a decent AP Hidden Power move, like Grass or Ice. Modest over Timid since Pikachu needs every help it can get. It doesn't matter how fast it is if it cannot take down its opponent.

Raichu @ Leftovers
Trait: Static
EVs: 128 Atk / 152 Spd / 228 SAtk
Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Focus Punch
- Substitute
- Thunder Wave / Surf
- Thunderbolt / Volt Tackle

Much better in-game Poke than Pikachu, since it has better versatility. The Thunder Wave / Substitute combo is effective and then you have a strong Focus Punch or Surf and a STAB Thunderbolt / Volt Tackle to attack with.

I don't know what "bad to egg by glitch" means. Meganium only learns Leech Seed from breeding. That means it won't learn it unless the male Poke currently knows Leech Seed. If you have deleted it, you cannot get it back from the Move Relearner (Route 124) since it is an Egg move.
 
Who is the Mister ??

BTW, what is the maximum amount of berries you can carry of each type ??
 
Again, the mister is the lone man at one of the tables.

As for the max number of berries, I have yet to eclipse that. I have had over 300 Lum Berries, so I would imagine you would be looking at 999.
 
what is better in a battle frontier?LVL 50 or Open lvl
all of my pokes are lvl 50 (i battled the e4 at lv47 and won!)
and thinking of training it for open lvl
which is it then?
 
it depends on your preference..i couldnt stand keeping my gardevoir/blaziken at level 50...and metagross level 50 kinda sucks..so i went all out 100...but remember..when you do open levels, your choice of types and movesets is incredibly important, because by the 40+battles, you start battling legendaries ...i quit battle tower for a while so i could replace blaziken with swampert, but it looks like im going to have to replace gardevoir with something since i already have metagross...too bad kyogre/groudon isnt allowed..then it would be overkill! XD
 
Where can I find AdvanceText for Pokemon Emerald ROM? I need for my upcoming hack.
