What is the most feasible way to evolve a Haunter in Pokemon FireRed Version? I am not quite sure what kind of hardware is needed, in addition, I am not sure if my playing on a Nintendo DS instead of a Game Boy Advance changes any of the rules regarding trading.

You have to be on the GBA or GBA SP and trade the Haunter to another Generation III game. If trading with FRLG or Emerald you can use the wireless adapter or a link cable with any of the Gen 3 games. It is quite the experience.

What you mean by this is that at least one of the trading players must have FR, LG or Emerald Version?

The other player can have any other Generation III game. I was only mentioning that the GBA wireless adapter is only compatible with FRLG and Emerald.
 
Does anyone know if Surskit is the only exclusive Pokemon to Emeralds Swarm mechanic that happens after muxing records with Ruby/Sapphire?

Goin for a catch 'em all playthrough
 
I didn't know there was a swarm mechanic in 3ed gen, but it's catchable with out just really low percent. Like 1-3% I often encounter it when looking for ralts.

Surskit cannot be found in Emerald through normal gameplay. After mixing records with a Ruby/Sapphire game there is a small percentage that the TV will alert you of a swarm. Most swarm Pokemon include already rare mons, like Skitty, Seedot, Nuzleaf, and Surskit, among a few others.

Strangely enough, Surskit can ONLY be found through this mixing records swarm. It cannot be encountered in the base game, but since its still technically obtainable, most "Pokemon not found in Emerald" do not include Surskit, so it wouldn't surprise me that there might be 1 or 2 others like this that I don't know about
 
Hello! I recently got an authentic pokemon Emerald. I am also lucky enough my friend traded me a Bagon, a Beldum, qns a Feebas. I finally get to play the Hoen region with my ultimate team.

I wanted to know a couple of things. I researched how to evolve Feebas. And I see it's pretty difficult. To make matters worse my Feebas is an Impish nature iirc. Meaning it's a serious nature and the guide I was looking into said don't bother trying to evolve it. But my friend spent hours to get that one Feebas and I don't want him to search for another. Can I steel evolve thay Feebas?

Finally. What should I feel up with my last two slots? I was thinking Aggron and Manetric. As it would perfectly balance my dream team.

Thank you. For all the insight in helping me.

I actually remember evolving my Feebas in Emerald despite it having a Jolly nature, although I can't remember if I made any PokeBlocks together with Blend Master. Manectric is a decent choice, but since Iron Head was introduced in Generation IV, Aggron is going to be stuck with the inaccurate Iron Tail. How about swapping it for a Gardevoir or an Armaldo?
 
If you have Heart Gold/Soul Silver you can get messages to raise beauty and max it out within 8 days regardless of nature.

Some things to note:
  • The RTC or Clock battery - If dead, it can be replaced, as many "fix it" guides has shown. However this replacement is done, you will require either to reset game save or use a piece of home brew that I can't due to Serebii Forum rules about R4 and like.
  • The Blender Master will only appears in the post game, and then only after you tigger an hidden time based event. (Of course he won't appear if your RTC battery is dead.)
  • With a dead battery, I'm not sure if you can get enough Dry berries to get Feebas to evolve without trading.
  • Due to how tricky it's to get the Berry stats up to full in Gen 3, the Ribbon Master community has created tools that can help. (They use it mostly to get high Content stats in multiple areas.)
 
Hello, why I can't exchange Pokémon from fire red and emerald to Colosseum ? I have ended the three games but the curious thing it Is that I can exchange pokémon from firered/emerald to Pokémon XD.

Is it a problem from the disk of Colosseum ?

No, it’s not a disk problem.

The reason you can’t transfer Pokemon from Fire Red and Emerald to Pokemon Colosseum but you are able to transfer to Pokemon XD is likely because of the fact that Pokemon Colosseum came out before Pokemon Fire Red & Leaf Green and Emerald while Pokemon XD came out after those games.

Basically Pokemon Colosseum was probably only intended to be compatible with Ruby & Sapphire to serve as their 3D battle simulator similar to how the Stadium games did for the games at their respective times.

Basically Pokemon XD was made to provide a 3D battle simulator for Fire Red & Leaf Green as well as Emerald to cover those games.

What's the message(s) that shows up when you attempt to trade.

Remember you need to be in a Pokémon Centre, got the National dex in the handheld games, and for FireRed/LeafGreen obtain the Sapphire and return it to Celio. Also, you need to "beat" the Story before trading can happen on the Colosseum.

I've personally traded between FireRed or LeafGreen with Colosseum. Also, there is this image with Wes, Bredon, Red and Leaf on it: https://mikesharpewriter.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Image1.jpg That's Collosseum's Hero, not XD's Michael. That's a unmodded GameCube with

I'm not really familiar with the "bikehop" trick but I can assume what it's trying to do. One of the easiest ways to encounter Lati@s is to go to cycling road just north of Slateport City. There's the cycling road house incredibly close to a large grass patch that has Pokemon between level 12 and level 13. Just get a Pokemon between level 14 and 40 as your lead, pop a repel and do a few loops though the grass. If there's no encounter, go into the cycling road house and exit to reset the roaming spawn. Repeat.
 
I'm pretty much doing that but instead of doing loops you get on the acro bike and use it to hop in place on the grass tile closest to Bicycle road and hop for one minute and reset if it doesn't show up Ive been doing this for almost an hour each attempt and nothing
 
Just to make sure we're all on the same page here, you have beaten the Elite 4 and Champion, entered the Hall of Fame, and talked to the TV in your house to release the roamer, right?
