Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)

I was going send my Battle Video to the Battle Video place in the game, and a error message came up. Heres what it said:

"There appears to be a problem in the Pokemon in the Battle Video."

I couldn't post my Battle Video. Whats wrong?

From what i've read, it could mean one/some of the pokemon were hacked, but i've been in battles with some obviously hacked 'mons so i'm not sure :/

When you breed two pokemon, is the pokemon inside the egg always whatever the female pokemon is? sorry I am being so vague.

@Tigerex; Unless you use a Ditto, yes.

Both Pokemon will get both 1 Atk. and 1 Sp.Atk EV. Basically if they get experience,they get the EVs as well (if they are lv.100 they only gain EVs,but that's obvious.)

Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)

If Pokemon are Level 100 and you battle with them, there stats can't get any higher even though you don't have all the EVs on that Pokemon, right?

Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)

@Shiny Shinx; In Generation 5, Pokemon can gain stats from EV's even at lv. 100.

Ok, but how?

Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)

@Shiny Shinx; You just EV train how you normally would. Pokemon don't need to level up to gain stats from EV's this generation.

What are EVs?

Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)

What are EVs?

Effort values - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia

In a nutshell, let's say you battle a Pokemon with high speed. Your Pokemon will get a slight increase in it's Speed stat when you faint it.

Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)

@Tigerex;: EV training is used to make a certain stat better, depending on what you want the Pokemon to be used for, if you need a Pokemon with good attack power, you want the attack stat to be as high as possible, so you EV train in attack and it increases that stat and makes it higher than it would normally be if you didnt EV train.

Go here http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/usercp.php and then click Edit Avatar - which is lower down on the left-hand side.

Also, this thread is for simple questions regarding the pokemon games, so don't ask general questions relating to the forum here, please.

Re: Simple Questions and Simple Answers

Okay, I just got Platinum today (FINALLY!), and want to remake my first Pearl team (Infernape, Staraptor, Garchomp, Hippowdon, Haunter/Gengar, and Leafeon), and decided to go for a Gengar from the Old Chateau.

I stick in my Emerald, hoping to do the Dongle Method. But then, I read something really, REALLY bad from Bulbapedia!: it cannot be done until Pal Park opens! I'm nowhere near that point! Am I reading this wrong? or is that just for D/P?

Also, can someone give me specific instructions on how to actually do the Dongle Method correctly?

*sigh* Maybe I should just catch a Gastly?

I haven't played Platinum personally, but I'd imagine the restriction on finding Gengar in D/P holds true in Pt. I'd say just catch a Gastly. If you have someone trustworthy to trade with, you can double-trade for Gengar once it evolves into Haunter. If not, Haunter is still useful.

Re: Simple Questions and Simple Answers

Yeah, I think I will. My Pearl!Phantom was raised by an egg that hatched as a Gastly anyway.
