No, and this says taunt does exist. It's TM 12 and can be found in the rocket hideout.

Since you've been out of it (and so have I), keep in mind that Scizor and Heatran are now .

 

[Niiro]

Not Heatran so much anymore. Just Scizor.

 

[LordoftheMorning]

Well Golbat is a poke I can easily get a hold of and can learn both of the moves, but I'd still get ***** by an electric attack. Sigh...

 

[kirbywizard]

Shoould I get the new platinum version even though I already got daimond. I am wondering if I should get it.

 

[WouW]

Your pick.

I would, though.

 

[Biolizard13]

I remember seeing a thread like this on a different forum....it helped

How do I change Giratina back to his Origin form?

 

[WouW]

By having it hold the Platinum Orb.

[ToiletRoll]

Question...

How in hell can i breed Brave Bird onto a Skarm?
I've tried Staraptor and thats not working, even though they're in the same egg class.

Is there something more to the whole breeding thing?
Or is it cuz the female Skarm is Adamant?

Spoiler

Sexist Joke. Sorry xD

Can someone reccomend the right compatibility that can breed Brave bird onto it?



Edit : First post in what seems like years. Good to be back =]

 

[jigglyppuff8]

The Staraptor needs to be male and has the move learned. If that is the case, what does the Day Care man say when about the Pokemon's compatibility? It could be that you're just impatient :\. If you did get an egg, (then I apologize for the previous statement) what are the movesets of the parents and offspring? That may be able to help out some.

Also, why the **** are you breeding an Adamant Skarmory. Impish pl0x

 

[WouW]

Brave Bird from Staraptor should work.
Maybe your Brave Bird is being overwritten by other moves of the two parents. Can't pass more than 4 moves.

 

[ElemMasterZeph92]

Wurmple factor: I know that personality values determines whether it will evolve into either Silcoon or Cascoon, but what I don't know is which natures will make it evolve into either one of them. Can someone help me with this and give me more info about personality values?

 

[WouW]

To my understanding, it will evolve into what it evolves into. It's determined by Personality Values, something that can't be altered.

Well, yeah.

Care to read jpp8's post in that thread of yours?
Also, natures don't matter.

 

[Nike.]

I once taught my mr mime torment and encore. When I tested it out, the pokemon would use struggle every other turn. I was very entertained.

Questiom: Can there be any use for this? Or is it just simply not worth setting up (perhaps baton passing mean look to this)

 

[ToiletRoll]

I didnt receive any eggs, i have read pretty much everything, and when i put my Female Skarm (everstone also) in with my Staraptor Male, They dont get along. Is that the natures or something?

Mr. Mime's defense is crap, so I don't see any practical use. Just an opinion of someone who sucks at competitive battling.

Here's how it works. If the two Pokemon are the same species, they "seem to get along". If the two Pokemon are traded but not the same species and are in the same egg group(s), they "seem to get along". If they are both traded and the same species, they "really get along well", or something like that. For all other cases of Pokemon that can breed with each other, they "don't get along well". This means they can still make an egg, though it will take a much longer waiting time (which is why I said you might've been impatient XD). Only if they "prefer to play with other Pokemon" do you not get an egg. Natures don't affect it.

Does this help?

 

[zrky]

If theyr in the same egg group you will get an egg, this is adding to what jpp8 said

 

[ToiletRoll]

ah... well... after the 3rd bloody Brave Bird Staraptor i trained it finally got "they seem to get along" so thanks anyways

A couple of questions I've had for quite some time...

1) When using the defense curl-rollout combo, do you have to use defense curl before using rollout every time you use it in the same battle, or do you only have to use defense curl for the first rollout (assuming you never switch out)?

2) When a pokemon equipped with metronome attacks with the same move repeatedly, how much does the move's power increase with each attack? Is there a limit for how much it increases? Also, although I'm pretty sure about this one, when an attack misses, does the metronome's effect start over?

Lets see:

1)You don't have to reuse Defense Curl, the effect lasts until you switch out

2)It increases by 10% every time the move is used consecutively, increasing up to 20 times. Switching out or using another move returns the move's power to normal. Yes, the metronomes effect starts over if you miss, sadly

Hmmm...alright then. I was wondering that because I considered putting the two together (although I wasn't sure who with yet), and I was wondering exactly how well such a technique would work. I think the fact that it'd more than likely miss eventually is sort of bad though...so I'll probably never use it. Thanks for the help.

[KrazyGlue]

My question is about shoddy: are the top 100 leaderboards based off of the conservative rating or are they the average of the range that they give you?

 

[woody72691]

how do get rotom's new formes with the key??

 

[urdailywater]

The rotom event didn't start yet.. did it? At least in the U.S.

If it did I think I'm gonna cry ;(

You have to take it to the galatic building in eterna or something like that.

Maybe not, but appearently you have to use the key in some building found in the platinum rotom form thing given oout with the game itself.

Now that that's brought up though, how do I get the secret key if he can? I already entered the code to the man in the jubilife station, but whenever I try to use the mystery event thing it says no gift was found. =/

edit: Also, I googled and it's in a hideout in the eterna galactic building so yah.. just use the secret key on a wall and then go in and teach your rotom(s) a new move to shape shift it I assume..

 

[Greenstreet]

Q: Looking for a game to occupy me during Uni recess, can't decide between a Pokemon Ranger game or Mystery Dungeon, anyone have a preference? or reasons why one is better than the other? Really not sure which 1 to go for...

 

[metalmonstar]

I am new to this whole competitive pokemon but I was wondering a few things.

How do you set up a double dance Kingdra?

Does Blastoise make a good rapid spinner?

Who is the best spike setting pokemon?

When do you use Toxic, Thunderwave, or will o wisp?

Are there any good baton passers that set up special sweepers?

What are some good hypnosis leads?

Why are leftovers so popular?

Is it a bad idea to have more than one choice pokemon?

Is it a good idea to have a team based around a certain type of weather?

 

[WouW]

How do you set up a double dance Kingdra?

Get it in, use Rain Dance and then Dragon Dance.

Does Blastoise make a good rapid spinner?

Yes. In UU that isl

Who is the best spike setting pokemon?

Skarmory.

When do you use Toxic, Thunderwave, or will o wisp?

Often while you're tanking.

Are there any good baton passers that set up special sweepers?

Togekiss, Espeon. In NU Volbeat.

What are some good hypnosis leads?

Yanmega, Bronzong, Crobat. Breloom and Gengar perhaps.

Why are leftovers so popular?

Because healing 1/16th of your HP every turn is nice.

Is it a bad idea to have more than one choice pokemon?

Generally no.

Is it a good idea to have a team based around a certain type of weather?

If you can do it well, yes.

 

[soysoy]

I am not very far in Platinum (Veilstone, haven't challenged fourth gym yet, though) and am trying to pull together a good in-game team...
so far it's Prinplup, Staravia, Luxio, Togetic, and I have a Gible but I want to breed her so I can start fresh. Plus, I caught two Ralts (male and female) and bred them... but was not happy with the results.
The three babies are all level one and all know Double Team, Confusion, Teleport, and Lucky Chant.
Ralts baby #1:
Female, Naive, Alert to sounds
Synchronize

Ralts baby #2:
Female, Lax, Proud of its power
Synchronize

Ralts baby #3:
Male, Relaxed, Likes to relax
Synchronize

Do any of those sound good?
I just checked, and both parents have Synchronize as the ability. Ugh. I would rather have Trace.
Is the rest a good team? I just got rid of Kadabra because it was annoying me. And it was traded, so it likes to disobey.

Plus, is it possible to get Houndour this early in the game?
And how do you get Togetic/Togekiss to learn Sky Attack? Do you have to breed it with a Ditto?

 

[zrky]

None of the ralts have beneficial natures for their final stages, even the male if your going for gallade.

You can't get houndour yet as you don't have the national dex yet, I hate the national dex sometimes. As far as I know togekiss learns sky attack but im not sure

 

[WouW]

The ability is always random, so you could just rebreed until you get Trace.
The personalities don't matter as you can't accurately see EVs with them anyway, so disregard that. Just look at the stats.
As for the nature, you'll want Timid or Modest. Or if you want a Gallade, Adamant/Jolly.

 

[soysoy]

Okay, thanks!
Oh, and I'm aiming for a Gardevoir; they are amazing!

I think I'll just re-breed the parents... is the nature random, too?
The father's nature is Gentle, and the mother's is Modest, if that affects anything.
I'm really picky about my team, so that's why I want to breed her, even though she has a good nature.

Ah, darn, Houndoom is so cool! He's fire and dark...
And I need a fire pokemon, but no room... oh well.

Again, thanks for the help!
I like this site.

 

[WouW]

Unless the mother has an Everstone, natures can't be passed down. (with Everstone on the mother you get 50% chance to pass her nature)

 

[soysoy]

Okay, Everstone, got it...
I think I have one of those, too. Yayyy!
Thank you

 

[Firus]

Ralts baby #3:
Male, Relaxed, Likes to relax
Synchronize

First of all, yeah, Trace would definitely be better as an ability. The moves could use improvement for sure but that's not an issue since you can, and undoubtedly will, change them.

To be honest, the nature really depends on which Pokemon you tend to evolve it into (as does the gender, obviously). If you want to evolve it into Gallade you need a male. Also, Gallade excels in Attack whilst Gardevoir excels in Special Attack. If you do a pure Physical/Special set for Gallade/Gardevoir, respectively, then Adamant/Modest is good, respectively.

If you want to do a mixed set, Lonely or Naughty might be good for Gallade, Mild and Rash might be good for Gardevoir. Ideally though, you'd have sets purely Physical or Special and have Adamant or Modest.

Speed raising abilities wouldn't be bad either...I mean, I suppose Naive could work. Lax isn't good unless you intend to make them defensive, which they're not really suited for (plus, in the main story you don't tend to get a whole lot of benefit from anything but just attacking, I find). Same goes for Relaxed.

Again, ideally you'd try to get one of the other natures. If you really don't want to breed more, Naive is your best bet.

Is the rest a good team? I just got rid of Kadabra because it was annoying me. And it was traded, so it likes to disobey.

Togetic and Staravia is type redundant, although there are a lot of bug and grass Pokemon in Sinnoh, from my experience, so it wouldn't be a huge problem. To be honest, you could probably keep them both and be fine. Other than that, it seems to be pretty balanced to me thus far.

Plus, is it possible to get Houndour this early in the game?

Yes, it is. Directly south of Veilstone, in fact, is a route on which you can catch Houndour. You can also catch them at the Valor Lakefront. (I think the other guys are thinking of D/P -- Houndour's in the Sinnoh Dex in Platinum.)

And how do you get Togetic/Togekiss to learn Sky Attack? Do you have to breed it with a Ditto?

Um...I'm not really sure on this one. Looking at its Pokedex entry, it says Togekiss starts out with it but it isn't listed anywhere else.

 

[soysoy]

So I CAN have a Houndour!
Yippee!
Which means... what Pokemon has to go?
Togetic or Staravia?
Hmmm...
