1. Is there any way to get more than 2 Condition Points (red hearts) in Contests? I've managed to get the poffin thing going great, even making Poffin almost to level 50 with the Leichi-class berries. I've maxed out the conditions, and even gave them the contest scarves. The most I can muster is two, three with the scarves, yet Fantina's Drifloon gets 5+ on that alone. I'm wondering if it is that secondary condition that is brining my points down.....

2. Where do I get the contest scaves in Sinnoh? I've transfered mine from Hoenn but don't have a full set sicne I restarted my Emerald which actually had it all.

3. My Trainer Card recently upgraded to two stars. I have done nothing to meet that criteria, unless you only need to win one master rank contest and talk to Mr. Goods to get a Trophy.....

2. The contest scarves are in Pastoria.

Not sure about the other two, though..

Well, you get a single star each for meeting these requirements:

- Beat the Elite Four. <- You probably have done this.
- Win any one Master Rank Super Contest. <- You said you won one so you met this.
- Win 100 consecutive battles in Battle Tower
- Earn a Platinum flag in the Underground (Capture 50 flags)
- Capture all 493 Pokemon (excluding event-only Pokemon)

Well, looks like Sinnoh has lower standards when it comes to being a coordinator.

Have you dressed your Pokémon according to the theme? Each Accessory has one theme that they do well, one that they do horribly in, and the rest can go either way.

Dress up points go with Pink Hearts. Condition points are red. I am looking for ways to increase Condition Points.

Go to your party, select Chatot, and select Chatter. It'll give you a chance to make it say something via the microphone. I personally made mine say 'DIE'. :)

^ Argh. Beat me to post, but I'll say it anyway.
Bulbapedia said:
Chatter is a Flying-type move introduced in Generation IV that deals an average amount of damage and may confuse the opponent. This move allows the player to record his or her voice using the Nintendo DS's microphone to play back during the attack. The chance of confusing the foe is determined by the volume of this recording.

When looking at a pokemon's info page that's on your team, what does the little circle/diamond/square/etc line mean? It's under the sprite but above the held item info. I didn't realize it had any significance until I got a traded Feebas that had several of the icons lit up.

That should really go in the Rate My Team thread.

Anyway, the team is okay I guess. It's a bit weak for the Elite four. Try leveling up to at least level 55. If you want advanced advice, go to the rate my team thread.

Yes, but make sure you tell them it's for the Elite Four and not a Competetive team.

There isn't any significance. You can mark your Pokemon (I forget the exact steps) in the boxes for whatever reason (say you've got a full box of the exact same Pokemon, and you want to be able to easily find a specific one, because you like its nature/ability/whatever, you can put a little circle/diamond/whatever on it to make it a little easier to find. Getting one that's already marked is just showing that someone else had it marked. You can undo a marked one in the same way you can mark them.

Yeah, I just discovered that feature on the box that highlights Pokemon who have that marking.

A friend of mine might let me use his Action Replay in order to get the Nat. Dex, Masterballs, Dittos, etc. What are the consequences of using a cheating device?

I have a bad egg on Ruby. What should I do with it?

I'm trying to catch Mesprit, but every time I try to use Mean Look, it flees. I used my masterball on Dialga, so without using a cheating device, what is the easiest/best way to catch Mesprit?

If I'm still looking around for Mesprit and I "unlock" Cresselia, will I lose my change to catch Mesprit?

You can;t really do anything with a bad egg.

Get a faster Pokemon who knows mean Look.

USe a baton Pass chain.

High level Umbreon used Mean Look + Batonpass (or Smeargle)
Send in a Batonpasser who knows False Swipe
Send in someone who paralyses or sleeps and Mesprit can't hurt.
