so I'm trying to get a politoed on my silver version. I have the kings rock and the poliwhirl, the only problem is the trading. I've linked together two SPs, one with a Crystal file, with the GBA link cable and tried. The one with the gray connector plug (the bigger one) saves, but the one with the purple plug (the smaller one) just says "please wait" and then "your friend is not ready". The one with the gray plug saves, says "please wait", then "disconnected due to inactivity". It doesn't matter which game is using which color plug. The link cable still works fine, however, because I tried it with some later generation games like FR and LG. Is it just a compatability issue with the cable and gen two games? Should I get another cable?

Hi,
I'd like to know if choice band works with special attack or only with attack in Gen 3.
Thanks :)

As "old" Event trader, I can tell you there is no legit shiny hadou running around. Now, if it's possible or not, I dunno.
It only boosts physical attacks.
What moveset should I put on my Charizard for pokemon Crystal so I can do well in the Battle Tower?

@Charizard will probably pretty bad, but I'd make it the standard Belly Drum / EQ / Rock Slide / Fire Blast. However, you will need to breed with a Belly Drum Snorlax so it's going to be quite difficult.

@Belle: Starmie and Exeggutor are good options (you need water and solar stone respectively).

Opponent Pokemon Trainer Stats
I've heard that in RBY, all AI-controlled trainers have zero stat experience and a DV distribution of
HP: 8, Atk: 8, Def: 7, Spe: 7, Spc: 7.
Is this true? If not, is there a concrete method (such as above) of finding out all the AI trainer opponents' stats?

Is it true that you can get the 2nd generation starters in Pokemon Emrald after seeing or is it catching 200 pokemon?
You have to complete the national pokedex, and then go to Professor Birch who will give you one of the three johto starters. You could also get them through Pokemon Colosseum and Gale of Darkness I believe and transfer over.
If a pokemon uses rage, and on the same turn is attacked with a multi-hit move, does its attack increase for each hit? or just once?
You wasted your money, unless you plan on hacking.
This is my team. I would be happy to take any suggestions for new pokemon or even a competely new teamt. However, I have the following limitations. It's main limitation from what I see is that a gyrados a fire and electric move could totally screw it.
1. I only have pokemon emerald. This means no trading, and I can't catch some pokemon such as zangoose or pokemon from any other region. Also, there are many moves learned by pokemon only by breeding, such as hypnosis for milotic, that i cannot teach it because i can't get the right pokemon to breed it with. Finally, I haven't got the starf berry or the other one you get from scott yet.
Ninjask@ ????????
Jolly natured
EVs: 252 Atk, 4 Def, 252 SpA
Baton pass
silver wind
swords dance
substitute/protect, i don't know which
Basically, this pokemon's goal is to baton pass its jacked-up speed and attack(sword dance) to my next physical sweeper(Metagross). It also takes care of physic and dark pokemon(Gengar) to some extent with silver wind.
Metagross@ choice band

Rock Slide

Hopefully, I can baton pass ninjask's speed and attack to this one.
Meteor Mash is for STAB, Rock Slide takes care of a weakness, fire, and also those annoying fire and flying types I can't take out with EQ, along with the ice type. EQ takes care of electric, most fire, poison, and is overall a great move anyway. Explosion I use to abuse Meatagross's great attacking stat and take out pokemon I don't have an effective type matchup with.
Milotic@leftovers

Recover
Ice Beam
Surf is for stab, and takes out many types I haven't covered yet. Toxic is to outlast fellow walls as well as waitng for a pokemon to die while i recover off damage. Recover is obvious, and ice beam takes care of dragon and grass types. This is my tank.

Yes. Birch will give you a call after you get every pokemon and you can choose which one you want.

about ninjask: I wouldn't lead with it, cause if you confront an experienced player it won't work. It's better to keep it for the mid game when you have get rid of the opponents phazer
metagross: if you are thinking to make it the recipient of baton pass, change the choice band for something like lum berry. Being locked in one move won't help those stat boosts
Hi everyone!
I got a weird question,
I'm training a Golem, and at the end of any fights,
instead of having "golem gains XXX exp. point"
I'm having " golem gains a bonus of XXX exp. point"
it's doing this only for my golem,
does anyone have an explanation for this?
(by the way my golem is getting more exp. points than my others Pokemons)

Traded mons get boosted experience.
In GSC and RBY, when you get leech seeded:
1° should you lose HP after you move (even if you're faster)
or
2° should you lose HP at the end of the turn.
I know for poison it's the former, but i'm not sure it's the same for everything.

Does any one know how critical rate in GSC take account stat boosts / drops?
RBY: CH ignores all offensive / defensive boosts / drops
GSC: ???
ADV onwards: CH ignores offensive drops and defensive boosts. For instance vs a -1 Atk Mon A vs +2 Def Mon B, a CH would calculate as if Mon A had +0 Atk and Mon B had +0 Def. If Mon A had +2 Atk, or if Mon B had -1 Def, then those stages will not be ignored.
I believe CH in GSC ignores both drops in offensive and defensive stat, but i'm not quite certain.

I think offensive drops and defensive boosts are also ignored in gsc UNLESS you would do more damage taking them into account.
For example in a +6 curselax war, both your offensive boosts and your opponent's defensive boosts are ignored, as 318 atk vs 228 def does more damage than 999 atk vs 912 def.
However, in a +6 skarm war neither of them is ignored as 992 vs 999 hits harder than 248 vs 378.
