I have Platinum.. =( But I guess i'll go give it a try, thank you.
Also, is there a list of how much a pokemon gives EXP? I know Chansey really gives alot of HP, what else? Is EXP based on the pokemon's base stats?

EDIT : to the above poster, I just ran the calculator. Since Explosion is calculated as the defender has half of it's regular defense, I calculated Bronzong as having -2 to Defense

252 Atk EV will do
Damage: 147.70% - 173.56%

156 Atk EV will do
Damage: 138.51% - 162.64%

While I wouldn't normally ask for this can someone get me a calc? I'm using Metalkid's but it has problems,

I need to know how much a Metagross's Atk+ with 252 and 156 Attack EVs Explosion would do on a Bronzong with 252 HP and 4 Def. THEY ARE ALSO LEVEL 50.

MetalKid's calculator hasn't been fixed and made available to the public yet (the fixed version) so everyone's using Libelldra's, now.

As for that calculation:

with 252 Atk: 141-166 (81.03-95.40%)

with 156 Atk: 132-156 (75.86-89.66%)

@klock: For Vs. Seeker trainers, try looking in Serebii's Pokearth. If you click on a route and go to the Platinum section, it will give you a list of trainers and their Pokemon levels and their Vs. Seeker rematch updates, if any. It's really quite comprehensive and helpful.

You didn't factor in the defense drop from Explosion, did you? I tested out and got roughly twice that amount, but still different ones as klock's.

 

[Scepticallistic]

In fact, I got the same results as COTH. You guys are probably not calculating it at level 50.

Even when I'm positive I did put in a -2 for Bronzong's Defense, I can also input personal experience in that Metagross will never KO Bronzong with Explosion when on the Wi-Fi Battle Tower, although it will do a good amount.

Thanks to both of you

 

[klock]

Thanks, didn't know Pokearth had those. But is there a list of something like "EXP List" where it lists all the pokemons in highest -> lowest (or vice-versa) exp that it gives? So far I think Blissey gives the most exp, what's next?

EDIT: new question, after getting National Dex, when does E4 get their enhancement? I beat E4, got the National Dex, haven't went to Pal Park/Battle Zone yet.

When Trick Room is under effect, will Gyro Balls base power be affected?

 

[Dahlia]

When Trick Room is under effect, will Gyro Balls base power be affected?

The only two factors that effect Gyro Ball's power are your speed, and your opponents speed. Trick Room does not effect speed, it simply allows the slower Pokemon to attack first.

i would take that back to the shop. It clearly dosn't work. Even if it does delete, its such a hastle if saving takes more than a minute. Also, if things are going wrong now, then i wouldn't be surprised if you lose your file later on.

Get a re-fund.

No, that's normal too. Deleting the file takes even longer than the Saving a lot of data.

 

[iamke55]

Is it possible to check a pokemon to see if it's legit, with just DS+AR+game? I got a 31/5/31/31/31/31 modest bagon 2 years ago and can't remember the guy's name who traded it to me so checking blacklist is not an option.

I finally got the two parents I wanted to breed together, and it turns out they don't like eachother too much. I am only hatching about 1-2 eggs in the time it usually takes me to hatch 5.

What method would be the best for this situation?

And just to double check, a Male Togetic that knows Nasty Plot that breeds with a female Togetic who doesn't know Nasty Plot will still produce a baby that knows it, correct?

 

[SunshineCat]

What are the four most important stats on a normal DDnite?

Attack and Speed for sure but what else?

pretty sure you have to complete the Stark Mountain quest.

 

[Iggeh]

Is Assist supposed to not work consecutively when you have a Choice item? Or is this a shoddy glitch?

 

[familyguyman]

On Shoddy, when I try to send out Vaporeon, it lags for like 2 minutes and loads a ? sprite. What's the deal?

 

[Tys]

Why there aren't shoddy stats for nu?

 

[Coronis]

Because NU doesn't have it's own ladder.

 

[SunshineCat]

Good hatch areas for DD Dragonite?

 

[I_like_shorts]

Anyone?

 

[Darkvirus]

how would i go about breeding adament aipom with fakeout(and good IV's)? i know i need good parents which im in process of (i think) but what do i breed with to get fakeout and how do i get the best chances for good iv/nature?

 

[gabriel]

It's been a while since I last played pokemon, so could anyone tell me if Rotom special forms, as well as Giratina's and Shaymin's, can be used on Wi-Fi, PBR or traded to another platinum version?

It's supposed to fail after the first use.

On Shoddy, when I try to send out Vaporeon, it lags for like 2 minutes and loads a ? sprite. What's the deal?

Try the Shoddybattle simple Q&A. My best guess would be that you misplaced or deleted your vaporeon sprite.

For nature, female parent with the nature of coice holding an everstone will pass the nature ~50% of the time. For IVs, it's complete luck, though having good IVs on the parents helps. As for Fakeout, there's a list of potential parents here. So female Ambipom/aipom with the right nature + everstone, one of the parents from the link that knows Fake Out, and good IVs on both is the best you can do unless you know how to manipulate the RNG.

No to all of them. They should all revert back for trading (Giratina will drop the Griseous Orb).

 

[gabriel]

So they can't be traded to another Platinum version, that's bad.

But can they be used on Wi-Fi or PBR, at least?

 

[Veedrock]

I answered no to every question, those included :P
