Yeah, it's an equal probability for all. If you're going to see if he's in the Garden, there's a 5% encounter rate. If you don't want to do that then just pass a few days just to be certain he's not (set the clock to 23:59 and load the game, pass over to midnight, save, repeat as necessary). I'm assuming you have the national dex, but if not you need it.

Yeah, I have the National Dex. On one of my resets, he said it was Minun, so I went to the garden for about 20 minutes (hoping that Ditto would be there from a possible arrival yesterday) and ran into 5 Minun and no other daily Pokémon (and then reset), which I suppose is a bit odd. Maybe I will change the clock and do it that way to be safe. Is this not considered one of the "daily" events that are unavailable for the next 24 hours whenever you reset the clock (meaning that I'd have to wait an additional 24 hours of real time before I could actually start the Ditto search)?

So even if I never talked to Mr. Backlot yesterday, there will always be a random Pokémon from yesterday in the garden, right?
 
When you physically change the day the events don't progress (so if you saved Minun and changed the day, it'd still be Minun). It needs to pass over into the next day to count, hence setting the clock to 23:59 and starting the game before "midnight" occurs.

EDIT: Cool, good luck.
 
Actually, I went back into the garden to see if I could possibly find him from yesterday, and lo and behold... there's the little bugger! Chaining time! Thanks for your help, Veedrock! That time information will definitely come in handy.
 
okay, i made a thread a few moments ago, it closed, but i was told to come here. my questions basically revolved around breeding and getting a female lucario with good IV's so that when breeding with a male one, the chances of 31's being picked for certain stats would be higher. (seeing as if i bred 2 lucarios, one with 31 in attack, and the other with 31 in attack, if the attack IV was chosen to transfer, it would 100% be 31) from there, i was told to save before grabbing the egg, seeing as IV's are chosen from the grabbing, and not the hatching. but now my delemma is this (i was going to post this in my thread, but it was closed, so bare with me if anything seems out of place.)

Thanks, did not know that gender and nature weren't chosen with the egg, but that still leaves me this problem, if i can't tell the eggs IV's before hatching, who will saving before taking it help me decide which one to try and get female?

i mean it like this.

i save and receive egg X, who's IV's to me are X/X/X/X/X/X cause right now, i don't actually know them, i can guess depending on the parents, but that's not enough to decide and save after receiving to go for a female.

if there was someway to know the Eggs IV's before hand, (which i don't believe there is aside from Action replay, which i don't have, then this wouldn't be an issue.

because if i do as you say and save before taking the egg, i have to hatch it, so what if those IV's are good, but it comes out male? i would have to restart and take the egg over again anyways, vice-versa if i saved after taking it, i can guaranty a female hatch (from soft resets) but now the IV's are set in place.

I have a DSi currently, so i have a question, i don't want to hack my pokemon, but if i were to get one of these Flashcarts, would i be able to run an Action replay like program on my DSi so i could tell this stuff? i've looked over the trading forum and noticed that many people use AR to determine IV's and hatch eggs fast, and this would be my goal, but seeing as how i have a DSi, i'm unsure if there is an action replay for it.

OHKO Clause forbids the battlers to use OHKO moves such as Horn Drill, Sheer Cold etc.


My question: Can someone give me a TM 26 :heart:

I think you mean OHKO Clause, which prohibits moves like Horn Drill, Sheer Cold, and Fissure.

"Hax" Item Clause prohibits items that have a low chance to activate, such as Quick Claw going first, Focus Band leaving you with one HP, and Brightpowder causing the foe to miss. It's any item that depends purely on luck.
 
What Eeveelution is more convenient to use if an Eevee have 31 on HP, Defense and Special Defense? Note: Its Attack IVs are higher that its SpA's. I am currently thinking of Vaporeon but I want to make sure of my choice. Which would you think is better?

You should also specify the nature... but I would say Umbreon anyway...

Sorry for not specififying the nature. It was Relaxed. You would say Umbreon?

My Eevee has the move Wish, what moveset would you think is better?

And: I'm currently breeding a Staryu, together with a Ditto that is holding an Everstone. Why can't I get the same nature as Ditto's?

What's the "threshold" for this thread? I dunno if only mods do (and/or can) know this, but I'm curious.
Click to expand...

All the others were stopped at around 101, 102, 103 etc; so I just try to settle somewhere around 100 and jump in where there aren't too many active questions.

I suppose: wish\protect\toxic\payback should be a good moveset, I would have suggested curse\baton pass if it had had curse...

Just bad luck I believe, unless your ditto comes from 3rd gen games, in this case I've heard that the everstone trick doesn't work.

I have Curse D=........... Really very sorry for leaving details. Can I please hear your Baton Pass set?

And, maybe Ditto came from Emerald. I bred more than 40 Staryu's and only 2 of them were Timid. That was pretty strange. Staryu's are genderless, does it matter?

You only listed 5 stats... anyway, 148 speed at level 50 means that your Azelf has a speed IV of 30 or 31. Look at the characteristic, if it's "alert to sounds", then it's definitely 31 speed.

Califa said:

of course: curse\ baton pass\ wish\ payback.

Nah, the fact that it's genderless isn't a problem...

Ninjadead said:
Oops.138/133/82/143/80/148It's "Likes to Run" which usually is 30 right?
Click to expand...

Ok, according to the stats and the characteristic you provided, your azelf IVs are: 6 - 7 / 6 - 7 / 14 - 15 / 26 - 27 / 28 - 29 / 30. And yes, likes to run means that its speed IV is 30.
 
Cool, thanks for that. I'll keep it, I've wasted too much time soft reseting for it and it's preventing me getting the national dex.

To have Azel entry in the dex, it's enough that you battle it, you don't need to capture it. Just let it faint all of your pokemons and you'll find it in the cave next time you go there.
 
I saw on Heracross' page that if you have a Flame Orb + Guts + Swords Dance, the attack is tripled. First thing, doesn't a burn cut attack in half? Second, even if the burn from the Flame Orb didn't reduce attack, Guts only increases attack by 50% under a condition. So it would be like this:

No stats increased = 100% attack power
SD = +100% attack, making your attack being doubled to 200%.
Guts condition = +50% attack, raising attack to 250%.

Am I missing something, or was the tripling a typing error? Unless, the adding of attack boosts are in a different order, and you start with 150% attack with Guts, and the SD raises it to 300%. Is that correct?
