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

Really? It's existed since the third generation. The fourth gen just added a few new shapes.

I meant the touch screen part of the box. I click the bottom left and it gives me the icons for items and shapes. If te Pokemon corresponds to what oyu are looking for, they stay normal while the others go transparant.

If that existed in the third gen then I was completely unaware. However, I did know about the shapes.

If this was already asked, sorry.

When Cherrim uses Sunny Day, and activates Flower Gift, does it boost ALL of its teammates stats, or just Cherrim's patner?

Does anybody know any locations of heart scales other than the following ones?
1. Not from underground
2. Not on a Luvdisc
3. Not the hidden one north of the Resort near Sunyshore

I need them and I'm getting impatient and frustrated underground, and I don't want to overload my boxes with Luvdiscs.

Well, you can just do it my way.

1. Place my Nincada with Compoundeyes in the first slot of the party, and make it faint.
2. Place my lvl100 Linoone with the move Covet in the second slot.
3. Fish for Luvdiscs in front of the Pokemon League building.
4. Use Covet on it, and steal the Heart Scale.

The chances of a wild Luvdisc holding a Heart Scale is 50%. So, I guess that's correct.

Edit : Sorry, I dont think it increases the rate to 100%. Maybe around 70% - 80%.

How do I set up Wi-Fi when my wireless router is secured with a WPA instead of a WEP?

Beats me. I never got connected.

Silly question : If I have 2 DS systems, can I trade/battle directly without having to connect to the Internet?

Yep. Two DSes just use local wireless, sort of like those wireless connectors that came with FR/LG and worked with Emerald.

So, if I just like, meeting a friend at a bustop, and we got our DS, we can trade/battle right there? Cool then.

I have a question but it might sound n00bish so sorry about that.

Anyway, i was allways wandering whats the difference beetwen Shell Bell and Leftovers.I mean, they both restore health when pokemon is hurt but Leftovers are so muich more valuable...maybe the leftovers restore more health but I didnt notice it?I must be blind...

Shell Bell recovers HP equal to 1/8th the damage done to the opponent.
While Leftovers recovers 1/16 of the Pokémon's overall HP.

The reason Leftovers is more valuable is because the HP recovery is guaranteed to happen, as long as the Pokémon is holding that item.

With Shell Bell the recovery can be affected by how much (if any) damage is done, for instance if the opponent switches a Ground-type into your Thunderbolt, since no damage was done, Shell Bell doesn't recover any HP.
The same happens if you use a move that doesn't deal direct damage (Like Thunder Wave, or Leech Seed)

Attempting to capture Azelf. At the moment, I've been getting its health down low and then simply throwing Ultra and Dusk Balls. Is this likely to eventually succeed, or do I need to invest some time in another strategy?

Make sure it is asleep or frozen, and use false swipe on it until it's health can't get any lower.

Hmm. Sounds like a plan. Thanks for the advice. :)

ETA - It worked. I have Azelf, and have just been playing around with National Mode, going into the Battle Zone and things. Will leave getting Mespirit for a bit.
