Is it true that alternate formes work on Wi-Fi now? I heard rumors from some people with the game...

Also:

There's another good question! Has anyone KO'd it? If I get no answer, I'll just run to be safe...

Actually, if it doesn't keep the damage and status that you give it, it should still work if you KO it... But I'm still asking...
 
does Magic Coat last for one turn or until a switch? I thought it was just one turn, but the message it gives is that "X created a barrier" (or similar) so it seems like it may last for more than one.

It's just for the turn you use it.

when you evolve a tyrogue caught/bred from DP into chan/lee/top, does the ability selected randomly or does it correspond to guts/steadfast?

It corresponds (if it's not from ADV), but I couldn't tell you what goes to what.

It'll work on local wifi between two platinum versions, but won't work from Platinum to D/P or over distant wifi (even if it is with another Platinum).
 
ok well i just beat pokemon platinum and i got the nat.dex and went straight back to the league to see there level upgrade but the are still at the same levels, why?

If it is bred/caught in D/P/Pt, then yes, Guts will always change to Keen Eye/Limber/Intimidate and Steadfast into Iron Fist/Reckless/Technician.

That means they might allow it after every planned country gets Platinum! AWESOME!!! (Now to get my hands on them... >.>)
 
On Shoddy Battle, I tried connecting to the Smogon Server; however when I get to the log in stage it asks me to enter a CAPTCHA which I cannot see.

So I just ignore it and type nothing there and continue to log in by entering my User name and Password but nothing happens.

How do I login to the Smogon Server on Shoddy Battle?

No. It's hard coded into the games themselves, not Nintendo's servers, to revert the Pokemon into their normal forms when connecting to Wi-Fi, so it will continue to be impossible to use them on it without hacking.
 
Guts users do not have their attack reduced by Burn. Facade does not block an attack reduction; it is simply the attack of choice for the normal-type Guts users (it is used sometimes on Heracross as well).

I believe you need to go to the battle frontier and battle Flin and Volkner. You may also need to complete the stark mountain part.
 
When you try to capture a pokemon, does your pokemon's level matter? Serebii's formula doesn't list your pokemon's level, but does it affect the capture rate?

According to Great Sage the last time I talked to him, no.

This I would like to know too. Perhaps you have to beat them a couple of times?

Unfortunately without an AR code it's impossible to go on WiFi/Union Room with them. The code that deactivates the formes lie in the game itself (meaning that it'd probably be impossible to fix and Ninty has never sent patches in DPPt online before). When you are asked to save the game, decline it and check your party.

well i did beat flint and volknor in the double battle and got the nat.dex but i still havent done the whole stark mountain thing. so let me do the stark mountain thing and ill get back to you to see if anything chages.

So if used on something like Guts Machamp (using anything) and Guts Facade Swellow, Flame Orb will not reduce their attack AT ALL because they have Guts?

Yes, that's correct; the attack reduction from Burn will be ignored and they'll get the full Guts attack boost.
 
I have a sweet shiny Quiet T-Tar I want to use. What would be a better use for it: going mixed or following the Specs set in the analysis?
 
Alright, so I don't have the exact EV's, but which Kadabra would be better for in-game Platinum. AKA not competitive.

Kadabra #1: Level 16
39 HP/15 Atk/14 Def/52 SpA/29 Sdef/ 38 Spe

Kadabra #2: Level 16
42 Hp/18 Atk/18 Def/46 SpA/29 Sdef/ 42 Spe
 
Yeah, the problem is that I'm not at Solaceon Town yet, so these were wild Abras that I caught. But thanks, I was leaning toward the first cause of Special Attack, so thanks.
