What do you breed with a Sneasel to get Ice Punch on the baby Sneasel?

two words "chain breeding". breed a hitmonchan or medicham with buneary or lopunny take a male offspring and breed that with sneasel
Or just use the all mighty Smeargle and his sketch since they are both in the ground egg group to reduce the chain by one link, two if you don't count Sketching from an Ice punch Pokemon part of the link

Considering that I don't at the moment have access to a Smeargle, it's the Medicham that learns Ice Punch naturally, yes?

I'm looking to get the Psychic triplets (Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf) and complete my Sinnoh 'dex, but I don't want to waste them by finding they non-beneficial natures. So, assuming I save my game before taking on one of the triplets and can reset and catch again, which natures should I aim for?

That is, unless they run amok (like the dog trio in GSC) throughout the world map, rather than staying in one place.

Only, Mespirit runs around, and as far as the nature goes it just depends on what you want to be trained.

We have an RMT thread.

Also Timid for Azelf unless you wish to run Choice Scarf, and Calm for Uxie if you want special defense or Bold if you want physical.

How do you record your voice to get chatter to work as its supposed to with Chatot? I tried this, but failed many times.

I see, thanks =)

At what point are the natures calculated for Mesprit, the runner? Are new ones calculated each time you encounter him, or is it calculated the first time you meet?

Same with eggs, are their natures and IVs and things decided when you get them, or only when they hatch?

I had this problem too. Not only is the DS microphone bad, it distorts the voice for chatter.

Mespirt's nature is calculated when you meet it in the cave.
Eggs are decided when the daycare man gives them to you (might even be before that), otherwise the egg glitch wouldn't work.

Oh, just realised that chatter does get distorted, this is aparently to stop swears being heard well.

No, and I think there are also a couple of other unsketchable moves like the elemental hyper beams, but I'm not sure on the later.

In Emerald, and subsequent generations I believe that the natures are decided when the egg is formed, and not when the day care man gives it to you. This allows for IV breeders to soft reset when they know the parents are of high quality (or perhaps it was in RS, but I'm almost positive its E and DP)

Berry question. I've been trying to get the expensive berries on PBR. Is there an easier way to do it? Also, what about the Custab berry and the Rowab berries? Are those only going to be provided by events?

Some of those berries can be won at battle frontier in Emerald and some of them can be purchased at Mt. Battle in Gale of Darkness and Colesseum. Also, promotional e-reader berries will become Enigma berries if you transfer them forward through the pal park. So basically, you need Gen III games.

As for event berries, Custap will supposedly be available on a promotional Regigigas from the next movie while Micle will be on Shaymin. Rowap and Jaboca have yet to be revealed. There is no reason to think that they will be released in ways other than event.

The way I get all of these berries is off of the GTS. Pokemon sometimes hold them to increase their value. They usually are bad trades, and you can't be sure they're not hacked, but I don't really mind too much since I'm only taking one and growing the rest myself.

Edit: Yes, the GTS shows the items pokemon are holding

It are me again.

Say I've caught Uxie, and he's Bold. How do I know whether or not his IVs are any good, and if they aren't, would it be worth recatching him?

I THINK this is where you check IV's.
But I'm not sure.

And if you want a Bold natured one,
You should just keep the one you get and suck up the bad IV's.
There's 23 other natures that it could be.
You'd probably have to catch it over and over.
