does castform get stab when he is the weather type
such as it is raining and he uses water gun
does he get stab???

http://www.serebii.net/games/weather.shtml says Yes.

(In this case Water Gun is powered up by both STAB and also the Raining effect.)

I have a question that has been bugging me for a while.
You know how sometimes when your cooking poffins, it tells you to change the direction you are moving your stylus in? Does that actually matter if you do or do not change directions when it tells you to?

No; there wasn't a significant difference in the level of the Poffin that was made when I tried making one first by changing directions when it told me to, then by completely ignoring the directions and stirring one way the whole time. They were both the same level.

Actually if u stir it in one direction it will always take one minute which means a not very good poffin.If u follow the directiion it will take less time and u will get good poffins.

So in the IV calculator, enter your attack stat, and then in the EV's you'd enter however many attack EV's you earned, up to 255.

and how do i know how many i've earned? ( i really am brand spankin' new to Ev's and IV's)

 

[Nutter t.KK]

EVs are earned when that Pokémon gains Exp. How much and Which Stat depends on what Pokémon it is. (A Level 100 Magikarp will give the same EVs as a Lv 1 Magikarp, which is 1 Speed. See here: http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/129.shtml)

A Freshly Caught or hatch Pokémon as no EVs.

Is there anyway to determine how many berries you will get per tree? The most I have gotten is 5 berries while using Growth fertilizer. Could I get any better?

It depends on the berry. Several Berries, such as the Pecha, actually have a Max Harvest of 5. http://www.serebii.net/berrydex-dp/

Bluk has a Top Harvest of 10

Well first off IDK what the EV's are and I'm guessing you don't know either...so on that and it being Lv. 100 I say just start from scratch. If you use the Poke Radar on Route 209 in the huge patch byt the entrance to Hearthome then you can get some Chansey...but still I don't think that it's good..

Just tried to calculate IV's and my IV calculator isn't working...hmm...but I say get your own and start from scratch.

 

[Volteon]

We may not know the IVs, but it's hacked.

Seismic Toss only comes from 3rd Gen move tutors, and this one was "hatched" on Solaceon, which means, hacked.

Oops glazed over that nice catch Volteon. But still if you want a Blissey I suggest you get a wild Chansey and give it your EV set and such.

 

[OJG]

Why am I not allowed into Lake Valor?

I've the first 4 badges already.

Well, I suppose this isn't help, but I want advice.

I'm leveling up my Pikachu at the moment for Special Attack EV's and Speed EV's. It has between a 14 and 17 HP IV total, 20-22 Attack IV's, 21-27 Defense IV's, 31 special attack IV's, 8-10 special defense IV's and 31 speed IV's. (Note: I brought this to the Serebii.net individual values calculator, and it but a red box around my special attack and speed. Is that good?)

(I caught this in a Chain of Pikachus in Emerald, at the Safari Zone. In the first patch of grass near the pokeblock feeder, I'd find one to the immediate left of the feeder, catch it/run/it runs, and then immediately run to the left into the patch of grass along the trees. It'd be ANOTHER Pikachu. Repeating this, I saw about 40 Pikachus in a row, and caught like, 20. I even got myself a Light Ball from one of them.)

Right now, I've been battling Ghastlys, Haunters, and Gengars, and have reached 82 special attack EV's. It has a mild nature, no held items, and is at level 31

It's gonna be the first Pokemon that I REALLY train for competing with, since I've never IV/EV trained before. I'm gonna evolve it into a Raichu for more power and more special defense, since it seems to have enough defense, But is this a good enough pokemon to train? And where should my last six EV's go to?

When that red box appears, it means that those stats are to high for the current level of your pokemon, and heres the reason why;

1) When you did the IV check on your pikachu, you forgot to put the EV's in the EV box below where you input your stats, which meant your IV's were incorrect.

You must always check the IV's before you start raising the pokemon, or you must include the EV's when calculating your IV's.

Oh and i should advise you, that if your pikachu does turn out to have a 31 IV in sp.attack, then you shouldn't evolve it, because if you attatch light ball to it, it'll be stronger as a pikachu, than it will be as a raichu.

 

[Saberu]

Why is it raining at route 213? That's never happened to me before.

 

[ellie]

It just randomly rains. I suppose you never got it before this.
