Which battle frontier place gives the most battle points per successive completion?
I have a question about Pokemon XD snagging...I'm interested in the Rhydon that Greevil has (with Helping Hand) for double battles. Is there an easier way to get a beneficial nature than to keep trying over and over again? For example, does Synchronize's effect on Natures work for Shadow pokemon?
It does not. And, since the game is saved after the battle, leaving you with no way to check its nature, Snagged or not, it's all up to luck. It's not really SRable without a custom memory card.
But - could I snag all of them but Rhydon, and get it the second time around with Mirror B? Then it would not save and I could repeat this painstaking process until I get a beneficial nature?
Greevil's Pokemon stay with him, not Miror B. And once encountered, Rhydon's nature won't change, because 1. you encountered it already, and 2. the game will ask to save after your battle with Greevil. If you do, you're hosed, if you don't, you just battled him for no reason, and end up restoring to before the battle with XD001 and him.
Oh okay...I'm considering not going through with this. It seems like a lot of work for a surprise move haha. Thanks for your help.

Is it possible to SR for natures/IVs on Raikou on FR/LG? If so, how?
Smeargle
Yes, and I could go on explaining but don't try. The Raikous are designed to have horrible ivs. All of them will have 1/0/5/3/4/0. Well not exactly but similar. IIRC all ivs have to be under 5. So no point in resetting. You'd be better off using alakazam. Or getting collosseum.
Ok, well I just thought if I was gonna catch Raikou, it might as well be a good one. Why is it like that?
I'm pretty sure he has to recharge.
No, actually. I remember reading this. Next turn he loafs around, instead of saying "Slaking has to recharge!" it would say "Slaking is loafing around!" and it would be impossible for you to switch. Next turn you can attack as usual.
Where do you get the Smoke Ball? It might be acctually called something else, but the item that lets you flee any wild pokemon battle.
The Ninja Boy in the route with the Spindas, when at his strongest, has a Weezing with it. The best bit is he seems to have an unlimited supply of them, as if you steal one and later rebattle him, Weezing has another one.
