Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I used to RNG for shinies on Platinum but I tried the other day and couldn't get it to work. I would like the AR codes for cloning and IV checker if at all possible. I never could understand RNG for IVs.
Last weekend I sat down to RNG and I got to a part where I couldn't get any further. I also do not know how to use the pokatimer yet. I haven't given up I'm just waiting til next week when I'll have a couple of weeks to focus.
The Kingdra is English and it's on my Diamond. I'd have to trade it to HG. I can catch you a Rapidash but I'm getting tired so how does tomorrow sound?
