I'm pretty sure it alternates between them.

For instance: User, Foe, Foe, User etc.

You gotta level it up after you max out the beauty stat.

And the green pentagon must be a little pixels away from the outer pentagon.

One question, about the move Last Resort. I've been training my Aipom to lvl 43 so that it can learn Last Resort. Then, I deleted all of its other moves, leaving only that one move. Then I tried using it, but it failed. Anyone knows why?

You have to have at least one other move on the set besides Last Resort.

Last resort only works if the pokemon that uses it knows all the foe pokemons 4 moves and once it does, it can use last resort.

And breeding with a ditto: Pokemon that breed with a ditto that produce an egg, the hatched pokemon will have the same nature as the ditto. Eggs produced with a ditto will take longer to hatch than normal bred eggs. You can't breed two dittos

And to get the best result to get feebas beauty maxed out, if you have one, make poffins using: wiki, Pamtre, Apicot may be the best to use if you can get one or Ganlon berry (Dry: 30) need to make dry poffins

That's...not at all accurate.

Neither is part of that. Breeding a Pokemon with a Ditto will NOT guarantee it will have the same gender. Breeding a Pokemon with a Ditto that is holding an Everstone will give you a 50% chance of the offspring having the same Nature as the Ditto.

That stopped in Emerald.

Here.

Inheriting IVs and Nature in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl is determined in the same way as in Pokémon Emerald. The only minor exception is in the case of inheriting Nature, which is not influenced by Everstone when breeding two Pokémon that do not originate from games of the same language.

1. If I recall, Last resort only works once you've used all your moves atleast once while you are out, but I am sure that it is not a requirement for it to know all 4 of the foe's moves. I mean, how do you even fit last resort if your four moveslots are already full?

2. Ditto + Ever Stone = 50% chance of getting Ditto's nature

3. Apicot is the best, then Wiki. Its way easier to get Wiki berries.

Inheriting IVs and Nature in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl is determined in the same way as in Pokémon Emerald. The only minor exception is in the case of inheriting Nature, which is not influenced by Everstone when breeding two Pokémon that do not originate from games of the same language.

So you know, that bolded part, it means, if two Pokemon breed, and one of them is a Ditto and holds Ever stone, or a female with an ever stone, the trick WILL work.

However, if you are using a Japanese ditto with Ever Stone bred with an English Pokemon, the Ever stone trick will not work.

So I have no idea what you meant by the statement "that stopped in Emerald" when it so clearly still works, and anyone who has tried it can confirm it.

I don't know, did you just stop reading at "which is not influenced by Everstone"

L's right, but I'll quote from the wiki entry on Last Resort just to make absolutely clear:

"Effect:

All other moves the user knows must be used at least once during battle before Last Resort can be used. This 'counter' resets each battle.

Last Resort fails if it is the only move the user knows."

That appears to be it. Not down to the foe's moveset at all.

Reading my post further would have led you to this point:

"So you know, that bolded part, it means, if two Pokemon breed, and one of them is a Ditto and holds Ever stone, or a female with an ever stone, the trick WILL work."

"L" is right. Just go and get Dittos with all the beneficial nature, and breeding will be as cool as catching shinies (well, not quite).

I have a question : I have never traded over GTS, so I need to know something before I do it. Can I ask for a pokemon that is not available in my Dex? For example, I dont have the data/entry for a torchic, so can I ask for one over the GTS?

I've been breeding Squirtle in order to get a female one for a trade. I've got around ten males with the same moveset (partly due to the father's TM and HM), but they all have slightly different statistics for Attack, Defence, etc.

A 'Docile' one has 12HP and equal stats on 6 each, but the 'Brave' Squirtle has 11HP and a Speed of 4, two points lower than the fastest ones at 6 points. The different natures make me think it's down to them, but I'm not sure. As the only criteria I had was for one female, I'm not too bothered, but it is curious.

So, how are these initial stats determined in newly-hatched pokemon and can the players choices of parents positively/negatively affect them?
