I keep catching Litwicks in the Celestial tower because I need a Flamebody/Magma armor Pokemon to hatch eggs with, and despite Flame body being listed as a natural ability for that Pokemon on Bulbapedia, out of more than ten captures I've had a grand total of zero that had the ability. Is the site wrong, or should I search someplace else?

You just have bad luck. Litwick has Flame Body.
 
Yeah, if that's true I'll give it five or so tries before I start shouting expletives and call it quits.
 
try putting out a trace pokemon to see what its ability is
 
How come I can only *sometimes* give Secret Base decorations to other players underground between Diamond and Pearl? Why sometimes does the other player automatically say that s/he'll pass, even when they didn't get to actually choose whether to accept it or not?

For the record, neither character in my games are carrying too many things to accept more. Also, it's not saying that they can't accept anything important, it says that they'll pass. What makes the games decide when something can be given or not?
 
Yeah, I tried catching one again right away after the first post, and got it to hatch two eggs as I'd planned. Could've tried the Trace thing, but I'd already caught it by then.

So, another question. I heard somewhere (albeit in a very unreliable faux-guidebook) that if you breed two of the same Pokemon, it takes a shorter time for the egg to form. If that's the case, do they need to be the same species period, or can they be in the same evolutionary line, or something?

I think your just unlucky. I caught one with Flame Body there, so it is possible. Just keep trying! :)
 
If someone could help me with this it would be so appreciated!!

I got a new 3DS for my birthday, and I wanted to change my Pokemon Diamond version friend code so that I can connect to wifi using this 3DS. When I went on wifi using the 3DS it allowed me to delete my old friend code and contacts list but it didn't seem to assign me a new friend code.

When I go to the Pal Pad it tells me that I have to enter wifi to get a friend code, and when I enter wifi it tells me that I can't connect. What am I missing?

Please help. Thanks so much!♥

Same species.

I.E. Two Gligar not a Gligar and a Gliscor.

This shows you the ratio of the parents producing an egg.

Your best option is top get two of the same species from different people: one from yourself, and one from someone else.

The 3DS has a problem with the internet.It will oftenly crash when you use Wi-fi,so I would doubt you can get on there often.
For the FC problem,I think it gave you the same one(rare,but can happen).:XD:

Okay thank you!
I'll see if I can get it working again tonight. Try,try again. :3
 
According to the Dex, through my interpretation, passing down psycho cut may only work with the abra line. Don't trust me 100% on this though.

Usually those lists just include a pokemon that can get it by leveling if chain breeding is not necessary. Any compatible father that knows the move will work. In fact, breeding a male pawniard that already knows the move with a ditto would also pass it down. As long as it is an egg move, the father's species is irrelevant.
 
Rotom is in the egg group "Indeterminate", even though it's genderless? Does this mean Rotom actually can breed with any Pokémon in the Indeterminate egg-group, and in that case; what will the offspring be?

Rotom can only breed with Ditto.
 
All genderless pokémon are in egg groups, it just doesn't matter which one they're in (unless it's No Eggs, of course), as they can only breed with Ditto anyway.
 
Why even put it in that egg group then? Thanks.

Well, all Pokemon have to be in an egg group. The Indeterminate group is mainly for amorphous Pokemon and has a lot of Ghost-types and Rotom probably fits both those categories. Other genderless Pokemon have egg groups, like Voltorb in the Mineral group.

Oh, I see. Thanks again. =)
