Drapion Trouble

[h2ownage]

Hey guys, I recently got Pokemon Diamond and I'm hoping to get a Drapion in my team with night slash. Problem is, I don't know how to catch him (or Skorupi) in the Safari. Also, how exactly do I get nightslash? Any help would be great, and sorry I'm so noob.

drapions are rare in the safari. try using the binoculars before hunting one.

drapion learns night slash as an egg move so you would have to breed it with a pokemon that knows it.

scorupi is catchable in the safari game. like fluffy said its best to use the binoculars before you go search for them.

Cheers guys, I've caught myself 3 Skorupi (took two hours) but they all have the ability Battle Armour and I want my Drapion with Nightslash to have the ability Sniper. Will the egg Skorupi have Battle armour or might it have Sniper. Thanks for helping me out.

It may have either.

It may have either.

Actually it depends. If he breeds a male Skorupi w/Sniper/Battle Armor with Ditto the offspring has a 50/50 shot at inheriting Sniper.
On the other hand...a baby always gets the same ability as its mother. So by breeding a female Skorupi w/a compatible poke you would get a baby Skorupi with Sniper!
(and maybe a better nature...)

No, the baby can have either. It will NOT always inherit an ability from its mother. It's randomized when the egg is created and set in stone as soon as the egg is made, so saving before talking to the Grandpa is useless.

Ok they are in the daycare now. The old guy says my Pokemon prefer to play with other pokemon than each other. Does this mean they will not have a baby?

 

[outofdashdwz]

It means your Pokemon are not compatible and will not create an egg.

wat did u put
2 males lol
or females

 

[h2ownage]

No... I put in a Female lvl 33 Skuny with Nightslash and a lvl 22 Male Skorupi in. This is driving me crazy.

So what Pokemon (with nightslash) WILL breed with my Skorupi to make an egg Skorupi with nightslash?

 

[outofdashdwz]

Skorupi's 2 egg groups are Water3 and Bug. It can only breed with other Pokemon from those 2 groups. Try breeding a male Scyther/Scizor/Kabutops/Heracross/Corphish/Crawdaunt/Yanmega/Gliscor. All of them learn Night Slash through leveling.

 

[h2ownage]

Thank you very much for that.

 

[outofdashdwz]

You're welcome ^_^ Oh, by the way, only male Pokemon can pass on moves, so you'll have to use a female Skorupi and a male compatible Pokemon with Night Slash.

your best bet is to check the binoculars for skorupi, catch one and breed it with a scizor, heracross or yanmega that knows knight slash(they have to be male, and skorupi female). keep breeding them until you get one that has sniper(its about a 50-50 chance) and it will also know night slash
