My Munchlax evolve into Snorlax w/ Immunity ability, can I reset and might have chance of getting Thick Fat instead?

No way it will change ability. A pokemon can change its ability only when you trade it from a 3rd gen game (which, obviously, is not the case).

That's not true. SubSeed Sceptile uses 56 HP / 200 Def / 252 Spe whilst SubSeed Jumpluff uses 188 Def / 68 SpD / 252 Spe.

I believe that's because you mentioned possibly the most frail subseeders while I was talking about Venusaur and Shaymin which are very bulky.
 
On shoddy, I can't seem to get my Bold celebi a Hp Fire 70, the most I've managed to get is 68, without seriously messing up important IV's. Anyone know a good IV spread to get Hp Fire 70? Thanks.

For Bold, 23/18/31/30/31/30 (HP/Atk/Def/SpA/SpD/Spe) works for me.
Edit: 27/18/27/30/31/30 also works.

@Dragonite24: That still gives HP Fire 68.
 
Thanks Dragonite, but that one only gets me with Hp Fire 68 as well. Oh well, I guess you can't get a perfect hidden power with Bold then.

Question about pokemon with word "PKRS" label in purple at the nature summary, what is this about? My other pokemon don't have it.

That word means that your pokemon has the "pokerus" and will gain doulbe EVs in battle. Note that pokerus disappears after a while unless you put your infected pokemon in a box, though you still receive double EVs after it has disappeared.

What that means is that it has the Pokerus virus, which doubles EV gain. It will stay saying "PKRS" for about a day, meaning that it can infect other Pokemon with the virus if you use it in battle with other Pokemon in your party. After about a day though, the "PKRS" label will change to a smily face, meaning that it can't infect other Pokemon with Pokerus anymore, but still has the effects of it itself. If you want it to stay infectious longer, you can put in a box, and take it out only when you need to infect other Pokemon with it.

As for why you're other Pokemon don't have it right off the bat, it's because Pokerus is gotten from battling a wild Pokemon that has the value for it selected to "yes," the chance of which happening is extremely low. You most likely only battled it with only one of your Pokemon, and tha's why only the one has it right now. When you took it to the Pokemon center after taht, Nurse Joy should have mentioned that one of your Pokemon have Pokerus.

And if you don't know what EVs are, here's a good article on it:

Thanks, will this virus stack w/ EV brace items?
 
Is it possible to obtain both Shield and Skull fossils before receiving the National Dex in Platinum? So far, I've dug up 32 fossils, all of which were Shields.
 
if you breed a male pokemon with egg moves with a ditto, will the offspring have said egg moves?

ex: if I breed a male togetic with thunder wave and nasty plot with a ditto, will the offspring togepi have t-wave and np?

Serebii says no--not before or after, for that matter. According to that link, you can get Armor Fossils if your Trainer ID is even and Skull Fossils if your Trainer ID is odd. I haven't played Platinum enough to check for myself, though...
 
3 technically. The turn you use it takes a turn, then a turn to baton pass.

That's what makes things like Trick Room so ineffective.
 
Wobbuffet is not. I believe the other 2 are.

EDIT: My answer seems uncertain. Garchomp is for sure, it's Deoxys-S I haven't heard anything about. As a suspect, it should be.
 
If you're lucky enough to have had your codes saved in your code manager on your computer, just reload that. If you entered them by hand/did not have them saved, you'll have to get the codes and redownload them. Assuming you weren't doing any dodgy hacking (pokesaving), you won't have to get too many codes.
