How does Soothe Bell increase friendship? Must you battle with the holding Pokemon, or does it increase friendship just by taking steps?

 

[Richter]

I was EV training my gyrados to have 212 HP ev's and I got 172 ev's from battling gastrodons, and bidoofs and now even though I only got to have 172 and he wont take any hp ups??? at lvl 20 his HP is at 81.. If that helps??

 

[Richter]

So i have to battle to get the rest of them?? and if I gave my pokemon 5 vitamins for a certain stat... would that stat go up 5 pts?? its one pt for every 4 EV pts right?

If both Pokemon in a Single Battle use Roar (or Whirlwind), will the faster Pokemon Roar away the opponent, or will both Roars take effect?

 

[MiroFTW]

Idk what i've been doing wrong.. but for some reason my riolu with pokerus refuses to evolve. i have it max happiness (2 big hearts) but no matter how many rare candies i feed it or no matter how much i level it by exp share, it won't evolve. is that a side effect of pokerus or what?

How do you get Ho-oh in Pokemon Colleseuom? I know there are certain requirements? I just know you have to have all 48 Pokemon purified?

Beat the outside game 100 battle tower. Yep. I did it once, took me like 3 days and all I got was a stupid Lax one.

What do you mean the "Outside" game? I heard that you can't switch Pokemon from your PC or anything? What are the ables and not ables to do in this game to get Ho-oh?

If I recall correctly, with low-speed Priority moves, the slower Pokémon goes first. It may only be for Stall/LagTail/FullIncense, though.

Yep. You have to stick with the same team all 100 battles. Basically when you turn on the game, go to the right coloseum mode thingy (Dont remeber name), and look for 100 battle challenge.

Does paralysis actually change a Pokemon's speed stat temporarily, or does it act as a priority modifier?

Also, is Burn's effect on physical attack factored with Guts users, or do they ignore its effects?

Where do you find the link on serebii to know which pokemon are legit and all of that by the 10th anniversary thing.

The faster pokemon will roar the other out, the slower one does nothing.

I'm having some trouble figuring out how to get my sneasle to have Pursuit and Ice Punch. I'm sure that it has been asked before on this thread but I don't feel like reading through the 70+ pages. So again how do I breed my Sneasle to have Pursuit and Ice Punch? thnx

How much ATK is needed to Take out Blissey with Max HP and DEF with Explosion?

Smeargle with Pursuit and Ice Punch.

When Garchomp is in a sandstorm does it have the same effect as 1 double team?

 

[Trivoxx]

@ SwordofAeons is that the fastest/best way to do it? or just the only way?

 

[SwordofAeons]

I believe its the only way.

 

[Shank]

The box trick doesn't work anymore. The only way you can change EVs at 100 is by using the reducing berries and by using vitamins. Vitamins only increase EVs to a max of 100.

It works in the old versions.

Today one of my pokemon in Emerald got infected with Pokerus. I was wondering, if I transfer over said Poke to my copy of Pearl and capture it over at Pal Park will it still have the virus?

I know held items and all that jazz transfer over with no problems, but never heard anything about a Pokerus Poke being sent over so I thought I'd ask.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, the evasiveness on sand veil is said to be 20%.

Yes it does get transferred over.

Does paralysis actually change a Pokemon's speed stat temporarily, or does it act as a priority modifier?

Paralyze decreases the stat by 75%. So if you have 400 speed, your paralyzed speed is 100. If you then fought something with lower than 100, you could go first. Priority would always make you attack last (since priority supersedes speed).

Also, is Burn's effect on physical attack factored with Guts users, or do they ignore its effects?

According to this, Guts negates the status effect, and only adds the beneficial +1-stage-attack.

Additionally, the Heracross analyses (http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20823) talks about using burn orb/toxic orb to boost Hera's attack stat. So I assume this is correct.
