  1. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 24 (READ THE OP)

    Speaking of the roamers, how does repel work again? In order to run into no pokemon except Entei/Raikou, does your front pokemon need to be lv 39 or lv 40 against the lv 40 wild pokemon?

    OK, so I wasn't trying to SR for a competitive nature/IVs on this Lugia (because I've never done ubers ever), but it seems I've caught myself a Bold 29 / 26 / 31 / 17 / 26 / 27 , standard HP/Atk/Def/Satk/Sdef/Speed. Is this a competitive-worthy Lugia? I ask because I plan to restart this HG...
  3. CAP 10 CAP 10 - Art Submissions

    I don't even know what this is anymore, and because of that I've done no more than a rough coloring to get a sense of its anatomy better... It should be noted that this is supposed to be an overhead view; the top is the ridge, not the tail. The idea was to take the see-through domed forehead...

    How can Dragonite learn Heal Bell? Shoddy lists it as a level-up move, but I don't see it in Serebii's pokedex guide.
  5. CAP 9 CAP 9 - Name Submissions

    People have gotten to talking about Rey and his Mobius idea, but did any of you guys remember this post from the first page? Personally, I really like this idea; piggybacking off of Rey's combination themes, however, nets us... Molebyss Alternatively is the option of spelling it Molbyss...
  6. CAP 9 CAP 9 - Part 10 - Art Poll 3

    Although I had initially passed it up at first in the second art poll, after reading the supporting material for Mysteriousfellow's entry I simply cannot see any other as being our choice. His rendition may not be anywhere close to Sugimori style compared to the other two contenders, but I...
  7. Platinum/HG/SS Battle Frontier and DP Battle Tower Records

    oohhhhhohohoh THANK YOU for the advice! That Blissey was EXACTLY what I needed at the end of the Head battle! :D Unnecessary CH Shadowball FTW
  8. Platinum/HG/SS Battle Frontier and DP Battle Tower Records

    Alright. I'm going to ask for some input on this before I move any further in the Battle Factory. Normally the pokemon switch isn't that hard to figure out; however, I have on my hands quite the quandry. I'm trying to get at least the Silver print from the Factory, and I'm currently on Match #4...
  9. DP Research Thread #5 (Newest yet)

    Well, I just discovered something interesting and of no real significance whatsoever. So I'm using a Togekiss I got off Wi-Fi in a double battle to let Smeargle Sketch a Yawn; fighting the double Jubilife reporters (Gardevoir & Magnezone.) Yawn puts Magnezone to sleep from Togekiss, and then I...

    I recall reading somewhere that your SID was what determined those roaming pokemon, or at least Lati@s in R/S/E. I think the question would be then, is SID still the determinant of the legendary birds IVs/natures?

    So I just bred a Jolly Gligar with Hypercutter and 24/31/31/2/30/30 IVs; female. Should I try to continue breeding to improve the HP IV or do you guys think that 24/31/31/2/30/30 is pretty outstanding anyways?
  12. Dungeons and Dragons: Gen. Empoleon vs ReyScarFace

    I've not read or seen Watchmen (yet), and I still thought the comments were a great twist on the usual fare. I guess it takes a certain kind of higher thinking to appreciate finer comments such as these? :\

    If you didn't use RNG-abuse to purposefully breed it shiny, then keep it, because that would mean that you could now figure out your Secret ID and, using that, breed all the shinies you wanted on command! Muahahaha! *cough* <.< Depends on how much you like using shinies, and if you want to...
  14. Platinum/HG/SS Battle Frontier and DP Battle Tower Records

    So, here's a question... which is better to use in the Tower on a team, Latias or Latios? I'm looking to build my own team to mirror an earlier degree of success from Diamond a long time ago, and the Lati twins have turned up as ideal pokemon for the final slot, having resistances to the...
  15. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 19 (READ THE OP)

    It seems that in my playthrough of Diamond, where I got a shiny Chimchar from the start, at the end I had neglected to EV-wipe and reset his EVs to something useable for battle. So, now I have a Mild Infernape with Nasty Plot for a potential mixape, and the IVs of 27/29/12/23/25/25. It's not...
  16. Double Battle Metagame.

    Here's a question. Does Follow Me protect the second combatant from being by double-attacking moves such as Explosion, Heat Wave, Surf, etc? Also, how often do people use multi-attack moves in Doubles (outside of Earthquake, Surf, and Explosion, that is.)

    I believe you can trade with the other games as soon as you get the Pokedex, just like previous games. Does anyone know if there's an in-depth guide to the Gen 4 Super Contests?

    That depends on what calculator you're using. I suggest using MetalKid's IV Calculator to find your IV's, as it is more precise than a single level - going from lv 5(/1) through lv 14/15 with rare candies and entering in the stats for each level results in a fairly accurate result.

    Trace becomes Adaptability; Porygon's ability Download is the ability that does not change when it evolves into Porygon-Z. I've got a question concerning PIDs, hopefully someone will be able to at least guide me where to ask to clear this up. (I didn't see anything about it in the articles...)...

    You added two to the IV and multiplied by the base (255); the way the math functions you need to add the IV to the base times two. All you did was confuse your order of operations; multiplication/division comes before addition.
