Thanks, this helps. I noticed no one's working on a Venusaur update... it he still UU viable? 252 HP/252 Def Bold is my old standard...

Venusaur is definitely viable, he's very good in UU.

Question: I am going to the vgs 2009 in nashville and I keep hearing that people use pokesav to gain an unfair advantage. If there pokemon are "Legal"
would they get by hack checks that the tournament has?
It would sux ass cause I actually took time to breed these monsters and dont want to lose to cheating bastards

I'm sure that they're illegal.
 
With the Trophy Garden thing, unless it's changed in Platinum, as long as you don't talk to Backlot, the Pokemon in the garden won't change. So if you had Ditto show up one day and Eevee the next time you talk to him, Ditto and Eevee will be in the garden until you talk to him again, at which point the new Pokemon will push Ditto out.

As I said before though, this is how it worked in DP, not sure if it changed in Platinum but I doubt it would've changed.
 
My friends, and I have really been heated up into Platinum as of late, and while trying to come up with some fun strategies to use, I figured I'd try my hand with Baton Pasing. so, I have two questions for this one.

Is a Curse/Baton Pass Glaceon effective with a Snorlax?

What would make a viable non-Normal type substitute for Snorlax (a Pokemon that could potentially take hits, have high attack, strong def. or sp. def, and low speed so Curse is less of a detriment to the slower Pokemon)?

I'm trying to get a non-Normal type, because I already have a Normal type in my party, and don't wish to keep my party varied, and without common weakness (which Glaceon, and a Snorlax shares with Fighting types).

Thank You for your help!
 
I did a search of the thread but wasn't quite able to find an answer, say I am using a Power Bracer (or whatever the +Attack one is called) and I kill a Pokemon that usually yields 1 Attack EV, do I get 5? Further still if I also have pokerus could I get 10 EVs of the same stat from killing 1 Pokemon?

Full Metal: Swampert comes to mind.

Scizor or Swampert should be good.

Yes, you get 5 EVs, 10 with Pokerus.
 
I just bought Pokemon Platinum (yes real version, not ROM, so can't hack)

What starter should I pick to beat the game quickly and have a good time? I've played Diamond and Platinum ROM already and both times I used Chimchar. On Diamond I mainly played through exploring every single part of the game. On Platinum ROM, I just skipped all the extra stuff throughout the whole game, beating it in 7 hours.

This time I got real Platinum version and I was wondering which starter i should pick. I've already used Chimchar twice so I doubt playing it will be exciting. What about Piplup or Turtwig?
 
Should I use Rapid Spin on Cloyster? It seems Spinning is outdated, but I still want to use Cloyster :< ...

Cloyster is a good option in UU though its outclassed by Forretress in OU. Rapid SPin is an excellent move in UU as there are few spin blockers.
If you dont desperately need Rapid Spin use Omastar as is a better spiker in UU because of its typing. Hope this helps.
 
In Battle Hall you can alter your Pokemon between matches, but can I change it? For example, if I have two different Garchomps, can I swap one for the other and continue the streak?

Yes, you can switch as long as it's the same species.
Jumpman used 18 Tyranitar and all, it'll definitely work.
 
Dome Fossil

Hey, I have been searching for hours for a Dome Fossil. I need Kabuto to breed Rapid Spin onto a Tentacruel.

Is it possible to get a Dome Fossil in Diamond Verison?

Does anyone have one they would trade with me?

Thanks
 
This is a question more of "historical interest" than anything, but I'm intrigued after reading an old warstory.

What were the nature, EVs, item, and moveset of the OU Surfing Garchomp?
 
Question about AR cloning:

If I traded a poke of mine to someone to clone for me, would the original be altered at all? i.e. would the original still count as having been untouched by cheating devices?

Yes, your original pokemon is not altered by the cheat device.
 
Offnesive Suicune...
CM
Surf
Blizzard
???
Also, 172HP/120SpA/218Spe, Timid?

I run HP Electric for my third move to hit other waters. Unless you're in hail, run Ice Beam over Blizzard, but I'm expecting you're in hail here.

Also, to Azraelmax, I got a Dome Fossil on my Diamond once so it is possible, you just seem to have hit some nasty luck.
