Re: Simple Questions and Simple Answers

I'm trying to get to spear pillar, but I can't seem to find exactly where to go in Mt. Coronet to get there. The layout of Mt. Coronet (on the wiki) didn't seem to explain it good enough. Where do I go in Mt. Coronet?
EDIT: And thanks envoy! If it wasn't for you saying that, I wouldn't even have beaten the 5th gym (Right now, I've beaten the first 7 gyms! Hence why I'm trying to get to spear pillar.).

You need to have Pokemon with Surf,Rock climb and (I'm not sure about these,but have them in case they're required) Strength and Rock smash.
Go to Orebourgh City,then north and after you climb the slope with your bike,go right and enter Mt. Coronet. Once you're inside you'll see some water north,so surf on it and follow the path until you reach a place where you need to Rock Climb. Afterwards just follow the path. You'll know you're close to Pillar once you get outside into a snowstorm. And arm yourself with lots of repels. :)
What do I do when I reach the cave painting (In the room right after you use surf and rock climb)?
EDIT: Never mind. Just found out that I need to go back to Team Galactic HQ...

Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)

How you can get shiny legendary Pokémon? For example, is Ho-oh in HG always normal or is it possible to catch a shiny one without cheating? What about roaming legendaries Raikou and Entei, can they be shiny too?
Yes they can be shiny unless it has a shiny check( Reshiram, Zekrom, and Victini have one in Black and White), this means if they have a shiny check they can never be shiny. It is certainly possible to catch one without cheating, I have several shiny legendaries. To get one, you should save in front of the legendary you want shiny and encounter it, if it isnt shiny, you will have to Soft Reset the game until it appears shiny. To soft reset press L, R, Start and Select at the same time. This resets the game quickly so you can encounter the Pokemon again and again. Keep in mind it may take a long time to get your shiny and a shiny may appear at any reset, and it may take thousands of resets to make it appear shiny. This works for any stationary target as well as roaming Pokemon. With roamers its more dificult but you should remember to save before going down to where Raikou, Entei and Suicune are, because then, Raikou and Entei will be set. Keep in mind you will have to encounter a roamer each time to see if its shiny before resetting, which can take longer than a stationary Pokemon. Hope that helps.

Oh, I didn't even know about this soft reset thingy before. Thank you very much for your help!

Re: Simple Questions and Simple Answers

This is my first post here. Hello!

1. The wiki article for Mirage Island said that you can switch out the pokemon in your boxes to your party to try to get a matching number and make the island appear. I was wondering if the old man's saying will change if you manage to get a pokemon with the right number in your party, or does he say the same thing all day and you have to surf out and check the island yourself after you switch out your pokemon?

Re: Simple Questions and Simple Answers

Lol. Just beat Dialga with ONE HIT! It was Close Combat with my strongest pokemon: Infernape, Lvl 46. I actually wanted to catch it, so I fought him again with my weaker pokemon. (They were at Lvl 42 at the lowest, so still not bad). Anyway, so, does the blackout in Sunnyshore city go away, 'cause I've been anxious to challenge it.

Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)

So I haven't changed the date of my DS in about a week, yet when I turn on the C-Gear and try to use Game Sync it says that it has run dry and I have to wait another day?

Does anyone know why?

Spiderman is correct. If that fails, you may have to speak to Prof. Rowan. You do in Platinum anyway.

Have you played B/W in a different DS since?

Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)

This is a VGC question. Does anyone know if they care/can tell if you use items like Protein, etc. that you cheated to get to raise your Pokemon's stats? Also, can you use held items that are allowed but you cheated to get? Thanks.

Nope. I only have one DS and I haven't borrowed a friend's, or anything like that. :/

Nope, there's no way to tell. Because there are no variables in an item's data, all instances of a particular item are identical regardless of where they came from. Simply put, hacked items are indistinguishable from legitimate ones; they won't know you cheated to get them unless you admit it.

Woo-Hoo! That's all the cheating I ever do for battles, and thankfully it doesn't matter. Thanks.

Yes, it's true. I can go to Sunyshore city now. In fact, I already beat the Sunyshore Gym. I challenged the pokemon league, but I got obliterated by the pokemon champion. Anyone have any tips for training my pokemon fast (I want to have them all at at least level 55)?

Two questions. How do you get to Giant Chasm, and any tips for catching...I forget which Tao trio Poke it is, but the one that roams in Black?

Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)

I highly suggest False Swipe and Quick Balls to catch the roamer. Paralysis is a good idea, too. That's what I did! And Repels should be a given during the hunt, of course.

Though Voltelos/Tornelos are level 40. He needs a level 39 or 40 or lower depending on the location.

Aww, man! Lucky!
Anyway (assuming I won't catch Pokerus), the main problem with the pokemon league I had was that the fourth elite four, being a psychic-type user, was that I didn't have any Dark or Bug type Pokemon. Since (for whatever reason) I don't like using bug types, I'm going to get a Dark type. Which is better (at level 55), Sneasel, or Honchkrow?
