What do you guys do about potentially good IV'd Legends (that have already been caught/Saved so no more SRing potential) that have sucky Natures? E.g., Mesprit, Brave (+Atk, -Spd), 29/12/25/19/25/29

Trade fodder, useable, GTS and hope for something better? I hate that I figured out IVs after catching most of my D/P Legends (there's still hope for Cressie and Heatran though!), so some of mine are useable and some aren't...

Start the game over. It's what my friend did and its smart.

Dude, no. Just...no. I've logged over 270 hours on Diamond, nevermind all of the EVing I have done for tournies and BT. I just have a couple of Legendaries with good IVs, but bad Natures and I was wondering if it was worth it to try and use them anyway or not. Restarting is right out.

If you have an AR you can reoccur them through that? If not, you can ask someone to help you transfer everything into your new game file if you do decide to restart.

I've got...issues...with ARing anything, so no using ARs for me. My friend does have a spare Pearl that we're currently using for TM-digging (used game, came pre-hacked with x99 of everything), so I could use that for storage... I just never really like restarting any game I've worked in seriously because I'm so slow at re-doing everything. I'm still not done with Colosseum and I restarted that just for kicks... hence why I'm asking if bad Natures can be overcome or not.
I'd rather work hard at fixing what I've got, rather than going through everything all over again, just to get something "better".
 
Simple Question: Would your minds be blown if I bred a Brave/Quiet Trick Room Dragonite?? I haven't tried this out on Shoddy yet. Possibly mixed. I just want to give Nite a chance to flap his tiny wings once again. Think about it. O.O
 
Okay, so i decided to use my new AR to rebattle Azelf. One I did that, some weird stuff happened

1) Azelf's lake dried up, with Magikarp flopping around, and team galactic being there
2) I can no longer enter the WiFi room in Jubilife

Can anyone help me fix these? or do I have to live with these forever?
 
Oops! I just finished EV training my Gallade in attack, but I defeated 255 Bibarels instead of 21!!
I kelpsy berried it, so now it has 100 ATK EVs, if I defeat 11 more Bibarels, will I have 252 ATK EVS? ( I use PKRS and Power Bracer)

Yes, that should be right (assuming that Bibarel gives 2 atk EV's regularly.)

Where are you fighting these Bibarels?

Did you save before that? If you didn't, you can try turning it off. If you did save, you can try again by turning it off, without activating any codes, and see if that works? Hopefully it will.

@Hexatron: Go the Corrections and Contributions thread and look at the great ev training guide made by doctor mudkip. That should help you.

I saved. I tried it without codes, but nothing happened.
 
I know this is a noobish question, but whatever. How important are iv's? I really dont have the time to iv breed, and dont have much to trade for an iv'd poke. I just want to know the difference between a high iv'd poke and a low or average iv'd poke, to see if I should make time to iv breed. Thanks.

The difference is 31 points toward a stat. 31 IV could mean 405 attack or 0 Iv;s 374 attack. Oh yeah Hidden powers also are influenced by IV's
 
Do most EV Trainers use AR? If so, do they just use Carbons and Proteins and whatnot? If not, do they just do it in the wild the old fashioned way?

Most ARers use vitamins first then pokerus plus the appropriate held item and EV train in th wild. So it's a yes

Seems like you cleared the eventflag O.o
After which other event does the lake become normal again? Redoing that should do the trick...Or you could try and find a way to set the flag again.

(Note:a flag is a value stored in RAM that gets saved along with the savefile, flags are used by the game to see if a certain event has already taken place it's also how the resolvement of events in time is handled. I have knowledge of this because I used to be active in fangame making.)
 
I'm pretty sure the lake becomes normal again once you beat Saturn or something? The problem is, Saturn isn't in the lake. Instead, Azelf is there, and Azelf doesn't fix it. Also, I'm not sure how to work pokesav to restore the flags
