Is Drizzle-toed's speed worth giving it a Timid nature, or would some sort of Bold/Calm or maybe Modest be better?

I also have the same question regarding Aromatherapy Vileplume, only I'm not even considering Timid at all.

If I ko Thindurus and rebattle the Elite 4, will I be able to respawn it in some way like how we could re-release the birds in Platinum?

Is there a way to make a FAQ thing for these? I'm not trying to sound grumpy, but I've seen this same question asked on almost every page of SQSA so far, in addition to someone asking about EVs and switching/ExpShare/ect.

But yeah, absolutely; If you defeat Thundurus, just beat the E-4 and he'll start wandering again. Also works if you catch him and his nature sucks, turn the game off/on and KO him, and make him wander again by fighting the E-4. I'm pretty sure there's even an NPC who hints at this.

If you're on about rebattles post E4, I don't think he's there every day. I also don't know if you have to beat the E4 again (to get in the Hall of Fame.)

If you want to battle Cheren, you have to go to route 5 after you beat the Elite Four. You talk for a minute, and then he tells you he's going to challenge the Elite Four. After that, he'll appear at the end of Victory road for battles. I don't know how often you can fight him though.

Just double checking, is there really no Battle Frontier or the likes in generation 5?

 

[Rawbi]

On Serebii, I hear of something called Area Anchors in towns and routes. What are these, and what do they do?

 

[cantab]

It's called the Battle Subway, in Nimbasa. It's more akin to a Battle Tower, with just straightforward sequential battles in singles, doubles, or tag format, as opposed to the various facilities of a Battle Frontier. If there is a third version, we can surely expect an expansion somehow.

If a Pokemon with Magic Guard is hit with Gastro Acid/Simple Beam and they are holding a Toxic Orb, how much damage does the poison do on the first go?

 

[TM13IceBeam]

The toxic counter will still increase even if the user is immune to Poison(Breloom, Clefable, etc.). Hence, its equivalent to the amount of turns you are still in. :/

I have a quick question about White Forest. According to serebii, there's supposed to be like 20 different species living there, but I've only encountered like 3 different species and I've been searching for a long time. Do certain pokemon only show up in certain seasons or something??

I believe that all pokemon species show up, albeit some are a bit rare. I've only encountered Abra, Magnemite, Hoppip, Elekid, Nidoran(male), Pidgey, and Happiny. I WANTZ to find me a good Togepi. :(

Also, I've heard that you can find wild Tyranitars, as well as Dragonite in B/W. Is this true?

 

[Heathcliff Huxtable]

Yes. Bulbapedia says that Tyranitar can be found in shaking grass on Route 15 and Dragonite can be found while fishing in Dragonspiral Tower.

Yes. Bulbapedia says that Tyranitar can be found in shaking grass on Route 15 and Dragonite can be found while fishing in Dragonspiral Tower.

IN Dragonspiral Tower or in that water outside of the tower?

 

[TM13IceBeam]

The water, obviously.

The Pokémon you can encounter depends on what Pokémon the characters in the forest mentions. It can be from 3 to 10 different Pokémon. If you read here you'll know what to do get new Pokémon to appear, what you need to do to keep the ones you already have and so on.

What all do "legal hacks" entail? Can I completely sav pokemon or are there limits? I know they need to be legit stats and everything, but is there a problem with it?

 

[Quon]

was checking the Battles thread and they mentioned "Legal hacks"....what does this mean? o_O

 

[BurningMan]

was checking the Battles thread and they mentioned "Legal hacks"....what does this mean? o_O

that the pokemon they use were created with pokesav or action replay, but could be found/trained like this ingame.

Anyone have a Seviper/Ekans/Arbok with Dark Pulse they used to breed with Deino? I can give it back within 24 hours if you need in back. Thanks. :)

 

[Hobbers]

What's a good poke to use for easy catching? I was thinking of False Swipe + Status.. But which one?

 

[adman2]

Is there a way to get more than one Leftovers in White without trading for or hacking more of them?

 

[UnhandledException]

What's a good poke to use for easy catching? I was thinking of False Swipe + Status.. But which one?

Leavanny learns both False Swipe and Grasswhistle. Otherwise you just have to use more than one pokemon for the job.

 

[Zacchaeus]

What's a good poke to use for easy catching? I was thinking of False Swipe + Status.. But which one?

Sticking with your idea:

Gallade = Thunder Wave + False Swipe
Absol = Thunder Wave + False Swipe
Parasect = Spore + False Swipe
Breloom (Shroomish) = Spore + False Swipe
(There are more TW + FS users I'm pretty sure)

No UnhandledException you don't need 2

 

[kingoftricks]

Which two Pokemon should I beat the Elite 4 with: Lilligant and Whimsicott or Chandelure and Jellicent?

I'd say Lilligant and Whimsicott. Liligant alone can take on the whole thing with sleep powder+quiver dance+petal dance (taken into consideration that own tempo is your ability). Be careful of the Sawk, though. Since it has sturdy. But you shouldn't have any problems with weaknesses, Petal Dance OHKO's them easily. Beware of Alder's Bouffalant, though, since it has Sap Sipper and liligant's movepool is only limited to grass attacks. I suppose that's where whimsicott comes in. :)

I thought Afrobull has Reckless...?

idk what happened but on my first PT where Afrobull managed to survive a +3 Dragon Claw from Haxorus, OHKO with Head Charge, leaving it with 1 HP, its ability went from Reckless to Mummy(Haxorus had Dragon Claw'd Cofagrigus earlier).

(of course, there is the obligatory 'fuck you' moment when Ghetsis used his Full Restore)
