We just have remembered that the Battle Institute is locked off until post game. Good thing we know that the Synchronizer works 100% of the times on the Latis twins. The cutscene is still annoying, though.

If you're using MetalKid's IV calculator you can determine the exact IVs just by adding EVs to the Lati@s. You'll notice that you can enter the stats and EV values at several levels, change all the levels from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to 30, 30, 30, 30, 30. Enter the stats at level 30 with 0 EVs in the top column and hit calculate. It will tell you what the next level or how many EVs you need to be at / have to help narrow the range down. Super Train you Lati@s accordingly and add the updated EV spread in the next column (while leaving the first column untouched) and the updated stats and click calculate again. I'm not sure how many times you need to repeat this but just keep doing it until you get a definitive answer for what each IV is! Then you can just while the EVs with a Reset Bag and you have a completely untouched Lati@s that you know the exact IVs of
What are the requirements for getting your secret base flag upgraded? (aside from collecting more flags obviously) According to Serebii I should get the bronze flag after collecting 30 flags, but now I've got almost sixty and still a normal flag :\ and I don't really like the prospect of grinding to a 1000 flags and then not getting Garchompite because I forgot some stupid additional requirement lol.
You have to talk to Aarune at the Secret Base Guild in Fortree City once you get the required number of flags, then he'll upgrade you. Don't worry, you keep all the flags you already have so you'll still be about 40 away.
On that note, getting 1000 flags is a massive pain in the ass. Anyone got a quicker method of getting them?
How on earth can you get 1k flags of the number of bases is limited? I find it so ridiculous. On my Sapphire, I had every single base spot filled, and now that we have online interaction and more places to build bases, there's a limitation?
You simply get more flags from the same bases the next day. It'll take a while, but it is possible.
Read the OP of this thread. Such questions are for the Wi-Fi forum to answer.
What are the EVs and IVs of gym/E4 pokemon?
I quote myself :(
Since Serebii says you can chain Dexnav encounters, does chaining Dexnav also increase the shiny rate?
the people here have been working on determining if it does http://www.reddit.com/r/DexNav/comments/2o9suy/dexnav_data_analysis_xpost/ but as of right now it looks like there's a flat rate per encounter (similar to how friend safaris had a 1/512 chance of producing a shiny pokemon per encounter) their sample size is rather small so take the value there with a grain of salt but as of right now looks like higher chains does not mean higher chances of getting a shiny.
You can bank Pokemon (through Pokemon Bank, a separate app for the 3DS) over almost right away. Trading, however, is not until just after helping Wally catch his Ralts.
Any weak double battles in this game?
I have a level 30 Smeargle and I want to sketch Soak from a Level 3 Wingull, but all the double battles I face have Lvl 50+ Pokemon which OHKO all my Pokes.

The star disappears, but the island is still accessible. Not sure if that's any help.
Scan in one of the Blissey bases from the Quickstart to Breeding/Training thread and do it with one of those: they're all Triple Battles with lv100 Blisseys that only know Healing Wish.
I don't know when the earliest is, but to transfer from previous games you need the Poke Transporter app for your 3DS (which comes with PokeBank), and a gen V game. So if you have only SoulSilver, you would have to transfer to a gen V game first. I think you also need a PokeBank account.
They told me to come back tomorrow :(
Adding to this, a Nintendo Network account is required, and you have to have beaten said Gen 5 game.
Ok guys, so I've been fiddling around with the DexNav, and I have a couple questions:
1) Does a higher Search Level = Better IVs? Or do I have to do the chaining thing instead?
2) Is there any specific way of making Pokémon appear when I use the DexNav? I mean, when I get the "It couldn't be found nearby. Try looking in a different spot!" message, I go around but it doesn't seem to work. Argh! I don't know how to properly phrase this question! D: Someone should make a DexNav guide.

A higher search level makes it more likely to have some guaranteed IV's, yes. And when you get the message, just keep trying again. It's annoying, but eventually it works.
Soaring isn't counted as steps taken, so no.
You need to wait 24 hours after scanning to be able to battle. You only get one battle a day so this is the games way of stopping you from battling it, deleting the base, re-adding it and battling again over and over. Don't bother changing the clock on your DS either as that makes you have to wait another 24 hours
