If I trade pokemon like machoke to pokemon ranch and back to platinum, will it evolve into machamp or no?

No. Console Pokemon storage (the PC in Oak's Lab in the Stadiums, as well as Box and Ranch) has never caused trade evolution. It's more like you're storing them in an extra, external box as opposed to trading.

At the beginning of a battle, how does the game decide which Pokemon are sent out first, particularly in 2v2?

if your wondering which pokemons weather activates first, like between kyogre and groudon, the slower pokemons weather will be in effect.

 

[cantab]

Would that allow inferring the relative speeds at the start of the battle? Might be useful in a few cases, like inferring scarves, and perhaps when seeing Pokemon that might use HP fire.

As for evolving Machamp - you can use the GTS evolution glitch. Offer Machoke, then make a trade by searching for something, then withdraw Machoke and it will evolve. You'll need a good pool of Pokemon to be able to make a trade by searching though, what with how most of the results are for dumb requests from other people doing the glitches.

The Pokémon sent out first is determined by who is hosting.

What is an example of an unresisted OFFENSIVE type combination?
Also, is there something that resists Ghost-Fighting?

 

[Quaily]

can I use a heart shard to recover egg moves?

 

[Naxte]

can I use a heart shard to recover egg moves?

Unless the Pokemon also learns the move through level-up, no.

 

[Sei]

What is an example of an unresisted OFFENSIVE type combination?

I would say Dragon/Fighting-type.

Also, is there something that resists Ghost-Fighting?

That would be Ghost/Normal-type.

 

[kingdra22]

I would say Dragon/Fighting-type.

That would be Ghost/Normal-type.

I'm not quite sure but I think such a typing for a pokemon doesn't exist YET. So, ATM, Ghost-Fighting is unresisted?

 

[Coronis]

At the moment, yes.

 

[Frozen_Spirit]

How can i find out what stat my pokemon is going to have at level 50?

 

[Zero]

Why doesn't policy review show up when you try an advanced forum search? I wanted to search specific forums and policy review was one of them.

And why is it, with a high priced dedicated server, that we get errors like this half the time?

Should Clamp be used if I opt for a physical Cloyster?

No. Read the analyses please, ColdEye?

Where do I go to trade pokemon eggs ? Trying to get a random pokemon to build a team around. instead of using the starters

 

[gabriel]

They get Eggs if you put a compatible male and female in Solaceon's Day Care. Please, try searching Serebii.

I have a neutral Spd Venusaur. How much speed should I invest? Should I max HP?

you can trade eggs just like the pokemon themselves.

 

[IronGross]

No. Read the analyses please, ColdEye?

I already did that, and from there decided to even use physical Cloyster, so I should stick with Ice Shard/Rapid Spin/Spikes/Avalanche? No STAB Water hurts...

 

[PokeMauler]

Does anyone have a barboach with dragon dance? I don't have heart gold or soul silver yet so I can't breed one. Would anyone be willing to trade theirs to me?

 

[haunter]

try asking here.

 

[PokeMauler]

Oh sorry. Thank you.

 

[Zacchaeus]

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, will there be Poffins and some form of a contest?

 

[cantab]

HGSS have the 'Pokethlon', which makes extensive use of the stylus. There is a drink or something you make to boost pokethlon stats. Contests are thus not present.

Sounds a lot better than Super Contests to me
