Any info on that 23:59 exploit? That ribbon trick is really helpful!
Click to expand...

sure!

there are several once-per-day events in the game (getting berries from berry master, the newspaper pokeballs etc), the ribbon girl is one of them.

To get around the once-per-day limit, simply do the event, save, then hard-reset (turn your DS off, then back on), go to your DS settings, change the time to 23:59, save settings (DS turns off), turn DS back on, start up pokemon, then wait for the minute to pass while you're in the game, the events should be available again! (this doesnt work with berry plants or pal park, and I suggest putting your settings back to normal when you're all done.) note that each time you do this takes a little over a minute, so you'll be doing this for at least 10 minutes.

edit: don't do this when you want to transfer from Pal Park soon! resetting your DS's clock will cause it's count-down timer to reset I believe, so you'd have to wait another 24 hours after resetting.
 
Good Wi-Fi Battle Tower team?

I want to do the Wi-Fi Battle Tower challenge, but I'm having a hard finding a good team that can deal with the versatility of Battle Tower. All I know is that I want to use my Sporepunching Breloom. What other pokemon do you suggest I use? I have no issues with getting good pokemon, so suggest anything.
Thx.

I wouldnt do it.
rest wouldnt really help coz of toxic's increasing dmg. it also limits it's options and the poison synchro is easily wallable with a steel or poison

Try Burn sync. It could catch many things off guard.

Guys, Synchronize doesn't pass ailments that you inflict on yourself.
 
I've got a question, what is the current shoddy battle channel that you guys are using because I first tried using the channel dejatoons and that didn't work any help?
 
Hey anybody here tried the smogon sasher set for scyther? I've been breeding scythers, and I was just curious how many people have used it. To me it looks like it'll be amazing, but I just felt like asking.
 
I can't boot up Shoddy, anyone know why? When I click on it, a window comes up and tells me there's an application error. -__-

Repost, still no answer. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't work either.

Resetting the DS's clock does nothing to effect Pal Park. If you go use the 23:59 glitch 10 times then set your DS's internal clock back to what it was before (taking into account the amount of time that has passed), it will not mess with Pal Park at all. Pal Park's settings are only changed when you attempt to Pal Park something with an incorrect DS clock. Which can be gotten around quite easily, as long as you own two 3rd-generation games (search YouTube for "Pal Park Glitch.")

@FDS: When Shoddy crapped out on me last time, the only solution I found was re-installing Windows. Reinstalling Shoddy and reinstalling Java both did not work.

Savsender.

It's an application for sending a copy of your save file from your DS cartridges to your computer, so that you can either have a back up, and so that you can use the back up on your R4, which is what I want to do.
Click to expand...
I've heard somewhere that Pokemon saves are totally different from any other DS game's save file. Which means, you're out of luck as most save-backup programs/devices are not meant for them. As far as I know, there's no way to copy a save file from one DS cart to a computer (or R4), but I hope I'm wrong, as I want to do this as well.

Or is it that you're simply having a problem connecting? Could be something wrong with your router.
 
i was watching with interest the discussion regarding the maximum possible damage. but now its gone. (is this a standard thing? im new to smogon, and im guessing this thread must fill up really quickly.)

anyway, i had a couple of questions. it involved getting a level 100 +def natured, max def IVs and EVs, shuckle to use rollout - after power trick, skill swap huge power, and baton passed swords dances, while holding a metronome - against a level 1 bug/flyer with lowest possible def stat plus 3 screeches. anyway, im wondering if its even possible for this to work. is it even possible? all i can think of is some ridiculous baton passing chain involving lots of smeargles and focus sashes.

ah that must be it.....

team A
1 marill @ nothing. moves - splash hehe
2 smeargle @ nothing. moves - acid armour, screech, baton pass
3 shuckle @ metronome. impish, max def. moves - power trick, rollout

team B
1 smeargle @ focus sash. moves skill swap, baton pass, splash
2 smeargle @ focus sash. moves - baton pass
3 smeargle @ focus sash. moves - baton pass
4 smeargle @ focus sash. moves - baton pass
5 smeargle @ focus sash. moves - baton pass
6 combee @ nothing. moves - gust

start by pokemon B1 (1st poke on team B) skill swapping huge power from A1. A1 splashes.

switch A1 for A2. B1 uses splash.

A2 now uses screech and acid armour 3 times while B1 splashes some more.

A2 baton passes to A3. B1 splashes.

A3 uses power trick. B1 splashes.

A3 uses rollout. B1 survives (focus sash) and uses skill swap.

now the shuckle is at max attack and the smeargles on team B can baton pass to each other, each of them surviving the successively stronger hits from rollout, and finally passing to the combee. i probably put in one more smeargle than was really necessary. oh, and maybe the team A smeargle could use sweet scent or something to make ssure rollout doesnt miss.

anyway, this has strayed away from being a question. so my question is..... is this what you guys had in mind? or is there something better? whats the optimal strategy to set up this mostrous attack? and how much easier would it be in a double battle?
 
Anyone know of an FAQ or article that lists all of the Emerald Move Tutor moves and what pokemon can learn them?
