Prof. Oak's Lab: The Q&A Thread - USE THIS

[Terywj [태리]]

Then don't use Scizor.

Or man up. There's nothing wrong with using Salamence and Rayquaza on the same team. Play smart, and it'll work to your advantage.

Next, tournament, discuss

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Shouldn't that be placed in the Snorlax Room?

Seems it would fit there more, or in the Future of the PokeCenter Thread.

[kirbyraeg]

IT IS A LEGITIMATE QUESTION MY GOOD SIR.

besides, this thread is begging to be used.

Should I give my only EQ TM to Nidoking or Charizard? If so, Nido will not have a Ground attack.

That could depend. What are the movesets of both Pokemon at the moment?

How do I get Wi-Fi for online battling?

How do I get Wi-Fi for online battling?

On the start menu hit wifi settings instead of continue
you should be able to figure out the rest

 

[MetallicMario]

Wwwhhhaaattt.

 

[xLeafybug =D]

Wi-Fi sucks *** because you have to use WEP. It's pretty basic to set up though, it doesn't really require much help in setting up, as long as your router is set to WEP (lol), and you know the key for it.

Ooookkkkk. Keep talking your crazy talk. I'll just be over here.

 

[UltiMario]

If you don't understand what someone is saying, you just can't call them crazy.

If you lived in China you could get arrested for that!

 

[Terywj [태리]]

...


Ooookkkkk. Keep talking your crazy talk. I'll just be over here.

We were talking about the options when opening up your game. Instead of playing the game there's an option for establishing your WiFi settings.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize that my incredibly simple instructions are "crazy talk" because certain people are unable to comprehend them.

In the case that MetallicMario is joking, I think you guys should know that he's not being serious.

In the case that MetallicMario is not joking, lrn2google.

Q - [Because I'm lazy] Is it the father or the mother Pokemon responsible for passing on a nature to the child Pokemon through the equipping of an Everstone? And what occurs when it's a male Pokemon and Ditto?

-Terywj

 

[UltiMario]

Mother.
Passes from Non-Ditto Pokemon.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Mother.
Passes from Non-Ditto Pokemon.

Alright. Thanks. Is it a 100% guarantee, or something else?

-Terywj

 

[Elucifur]

"From Emerald onwards, a Ditto or a female Pokémon that holds an Everstone has a 50% chance of passing its nature to its offspring when at the Pokémon daycare, but only if both Pokémon and the trainer all come from a game in the same language."
From Bulbapedia.

 

[UltiMario]

I'm also sure that the Father can also hold an everstone in a Ditto/Father thing and have it work, since it has worked for me before.
Or I'm really lucky and always got the nature all the time.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Alright, thanks for the help guys.

i have a quik question about EV training.

after i EV train my pokes, is it better ( stat wise) to level them up to 100 by battles, or can i just use rare candies and get the same result?

 

[xLeafybug =D]

It'll be the same result once you reach the 510 EVs, Rare Candies is a lot less effort though.

 

[Kantō]

i have all there Effort values filled and got the effort ribbons for my 6 pokemon. there all at like level 30-40.
so it would be the same to give them rare candies as it would to level them in battles? there stats wouldnt be any less or greater eather way?

 

[BSP]

Does delaying evolution negatively impact future stats?

@Kanto

I could be wrong, but I don't think lvl ups with rare candies take EVS into effect. I could be totally wrong though.

 

[Fuelbi]

You're not wrong, rare candy don't boost EVs.

 

[Kantō]

yea i know that rare candies b4 EV training isnt a good idea.

what im saying is:

my pokes are EV trained, but not to lv. 100 yet. should i raise them to level 100 in battles? or just use rare candies cuz there EV's are filled.

 

[xLeafybug =D]

It'll be the same result once you reach the 510 EVs, Rare Candies is a lot less effort though.

Allow me to further elaborate.

Once your 510 (or 508) EVs are filled, leveling up by battles OR by Rare Candies will give you THE EXACT SAME RESULT. That being said, without those EVs filled, Rare Candies won't really help you.

If you have your 508 EVs done, go ahead and use Rare Candies.

 

[Fuelbi]

If you already maxed out their EVs, then go for it. It's not like you can gain anymore EVs anyways.

 

[Kantō]

okay okay thats what i wanted to know. thanks a bunch for clearing that up for me guys!

If you have a sleeping pokemon in a double battle, and it uses Sleep Talk, do you get to choose who the pokemon attacks, or is the target chosen at random? I know the attacks themselves are chosen at random and there is some stuff that is not picked by ST, but I never used RestTalk in doubles before, so I just wanted to know.

Q: When determining auto weather and which stays, the slower Pokemon lays out the weather. Such as if it's Kyogre vs Groudon, if the Groudon is slower it will be Sunny Day. Now what if stat wise the Kyogre is lower, but it has a Choice Scarf, essentially making it's speed higher but by an item. Who's weather stays out? Aka, do items effect speed comparisons?

In case of a move hitting just one Pokemon, yes, the target is an enemy chosen at random. It won't ever hit your ally unless you use a move like Surf, hitting everything in the battle.

 

[xLeafybug =D]

I'd assume that it would be still be Groudon, Chibo. But I'm an idiot, so I'm probably wrong.

Yes, Kyogre's.
