Thanks very much my problem was that my Pokes are high levels! I shall try this tonight! Thanks again to both yourself and Woingeanau
Sorry about not mentioning the level issue, it was cut off from my post by not selecting it for copy and paste accidentally. Good luck hunting the eon pokémon down.

No problem at all. I tried last night, but no luck :(
I was using Routes 127 and 128 with a level 38 Golbat and Max Repels. With persistence should this combination be on track to see the pesky Pokemon?
Thanks for the continued help :D

What's the best berry to use for Feebas' evolution?
That question was posted not that long ago, so here are the responces people gave.
What Berry's boost Beauty a lot. I'm trying to evolve a Feebas.
Wiki berry does it best.
What luck, I'm growing a Wiki plant also to evolve a Feebas. Though it was the only suitable berry I had at the time, so I'm glad it's especially effective on beauty.
Wiki berry does it best.
I disagree. Pamtre and Micle berries have higher dryness. I'm just saying...

They also have other flavours which hinder the dryness value. Apicot is actually the best, then Wiki, then Pamtre.

They do work it's just that legendaries have terrible catch rates try using dusk balls heatrans in a cave and they have 4X the chance of working in caves.

I have been trying Dusk Balls...not to sound defensive, but I caught Heatran the last time I played through my game fairly easily -- with a Dusk Ball, in fact -- and was just curious and frustrated. Thank you for your help, though.

As long as you put Heatran to sleep or froze it, you should have about a nine percent chance per ball of capturing it, assuming you've worked its HP into the red. For quick balls to be this effective, they must be thrown in the first five turns. For timer balls, 30 turns must elapse. Really, you should just be using dusk balls; it makes it easier. Also, if you didn't put it to sleep or freeze it, your chances could be as low as four percent per ball instead.

Hello! Some questions:

Is there a list of pokemon that you can 'see' in Diamond/Pearl anywhere? I have Pearl but no other games and am using the GTS to get pokemon that I can't catch myself. I think I've met every NPC trainer but I'm just wondering if I've missed one.
(so far I've seen Sandslash, Arcanine, Tropius, Ursaring, Mightyena, Kecleon & Larvitar. That leaves the old starters, most of the donglers, Tangela and Aron)

Also, the Battle Tower doesn't let you record the pokemon you fight (dagnabit). If I manage to find someone and wifi-battle with them, will I get a record of the pokemon they use (that I can then use on the GTS), or will I have to trade?

Finally, is there any other way of spotting pokemon?

if none of the NPC have non sinnoh pokemon you have to trade for them. since you don't have any of the third gen games this means you will need a lot of help. no there is no other way of seeing pokemon sorry.

A Luna jynx is a jynx with this move set: Ice beam, lovely kiss, calm mind, and substitute. What you do is set up a sub then boosts the stats with calm mind. Using lovely kiss to keep opponents a sleep so that you can pull off more stat boosts behind the protection of the sub.

So that's what its called? People need to stop naming sets after themselves.

What are clauses?

In competitive battles they are the rules that are set down. i.e. the sleep clause is when neither you nor your opponent is allowed to put 2 of the other person’s pokemon to sleep. Or the species clause you can’t have 2 pokemon of the same species in other words no team of dittos

Ah, I see. So an Item Clause would be no two pokemon on a team can hold the same item?

Say you want a shiny dialga...

If you reset a great number of times and it's shiny will you be able to tell without fighting it? Will it's sprite(the one you talk to} be noticably shiny?

and is it applicable for all legenderaies or any pokemon that you see before you go into battle?

The only way to tell is to talk to the Pokemon and start the battle. The overworld sprites never appear as shiny.

Are there no easier ways to determine the HP element without the complicated computations?

Or can anyone here make that formula easier?

You could always battle a series of Pokemon of varying types and note what response you get after using it (i.e., "Not very effectice", "Super effective" or no message at all). Doing that, it's fairly easy to deduce what the type is.

But, really, it's either battle a bunch of stuff ("bunch" as in however many you need to battle to be able to determine the type. I mean, if you battle a normal-type and HP is super-effective, you can be sure it's fighting. If it doesn't have any affect, it's ghost. If you get no message then, well...you're down to 15 possibilities), or find an IV/HP calculator.
