yes. In fact, the tap number could be as low as 50 for a RNG foreign parent shiny

Anyone have a clue about the likelihood of events in the UK in the next few months? BP has nothing.


In addition to this, I am trying to find directions to get the orbs in Platinum. I see the waterfall and the entrance but I have no idea how to get to where they are and BP has pretty awful images. Any help?

I'm having another problem related to my last one. In Platinum, I finished up Stark Mountain, caught Heatran, went off and defeated the Elite Four again (with their 65+ Pokemon} and then collected the Adamant and Lustrous Orbs. But now when I go to Celestic Town and check the shrine, nothing happens! I also went to Spear Pillar and Diagla and Palkia aren't there. What the heck did I miss?! D:
I hate to post again, but I didn't quite get any help other than someone asking me if I had the villa, which I do.

I don't know what your doing wrong I just tried and it worked for me. this is exactly what I did 1) I talked to Cynthia's grandmother read the book on the table. 2) headed to hearthome piked up my HM slaves 3) entered mount coronet. 4) got the orbs. 5) got to spear pillar. 6) fought dialga.

I caught these 2 swinub one of them seems to have good IVs but it has oblivious as an ability and hardly anyone uses attract/cute charm and the other one has snow cloak but less IVs. Which one would be better. (PLEASE dont suggest breeding for IVs T_T)

Well, if you had a Hail team, Snowcloak.

Either way they aren't gonna do you much good. I suppose Oblivious is best.

If i have a legit pokemon that does not have any egg moves.

& I use my AR to modify my TMs & teach it an egg moves ( or moves it can learn ) (via Action Replay).

Would you consider this pokemon to be "hacked/worthless/bad" ? > __<

Then why'd you bother asking if you weren't going to listen?

=\ I did i asked & i got your opinion.
What else do you want from me?

There are more people here who can also response to the same question with a different opinion then yourself.

Thank you for taking the time in answering my question.
I tried not to be rude to you, HELL i don't even know you,
No need for the attitude.

I wasn't being rude. You asked my opinion. I gave it. You disregarded it. I questioned the point.

In depth answer: Any time an AR is used to teach a pokemon moves, even if it can legitimately learn them, is still hacking. Why? Because that gives you an edge over other players. While they have to work to get these moves, you got them at the edge of your fingertips ready to be learned in seconds.

You have a point, but I'm not teaching it moves just because I'll have the advantage of having them at my disposile, only because I like the move, I didn't get it with the egg move I wanted so I just taughit to it.

Say if I pit itup for a trade, would that make it a bad and hacked pokemon? The pokemon isn't hacked only it's moveset with moves it can know.

Well, if the parents are hacked, I don't see any bad point of it.. Of course, the moveset must be learn-able.. Unless your "hacking moveset" means the pokemon is hacked.. (=_=")

If you put it for trade, just tell others beforehand.. Some might mind, who knows..
