-Earthquake
-Outrage
-U-turn

You do need to Beat the Elite 4 and Get the National Dex.

No you don't, contrary to popular belief. On an old Diamond data, I got it without beating the Elite Four.

Did you use the Dongle method or did you trade it from a game with the Nat dex to a game without one?

Does a Synchronizer work in the Great Marsh? I went there today to catch a Croagunk, and didn't find one. I caught a Quagsire, a Marril, and two Carnivine, and the Marril and Carnivine were Adamant, as was my Synchronizer. Is it a coincidence, or does it work?

Dongle method? I just lost to Cynthia.

Synchronize does work in the Great Marsh.

"Dongle Method" is according to Bulbapedia, when you put a 3rd generation game into the GBA slot of a DS, and some pokemon start appearing on different routes based on the game.

Thanks for all the help guys, managed to eventually find an elekid.

I think their just very rare lol

According to Pokearth, Pokemon that are wild because of the Dongle Method have like a 5% appearance rate.

Does the synchronize ability to get the same nature as your first pokemon work on rare pokemon like.. Cresselia, Dialgia, Mesprit etc.?

Secret IDon't know

I just read Smogon's recent article on Secret IDs and I'm still confused. I know how to find a Secret ID, but how do you use this information to breed/catch Shinies? I'm lost... Can anyone clarrify???

On the ironic hand, Smogon just mentioned shinies today, and I happened to catch a Shiny Pichu while EV training my Ralts at the Trophy Garden!!!

Here's my problemo:

I read the whole "Spiritomb factor" article, and I dug and dug Underground until I found an Odd Keystone. Then, I went to Route 209 and tried to put the Odd Keystone into the Well, but when I click the Well, it just explains what it is, and nothing else.

So, I can't put the Odd Keystone into the Well, meaning I can't activate the event where I would have to talk to 32 people and all that. Anyone know how I can fix this?

By the way, I am using Pearl, not Platinum (since you'd have to fish in Platinum).

Thanks.

EDIT: Also, sorry if this has already been asked and answered, does the Synchronize ability thing (where whatever nature your Pokemon has is the same as the Pokemon caught) work with hatching eggs?

It's very possible that you already have the Odd Keystone into the well =p
talk to 32 people underground (two DSs communicating) and see if you can't get the Spiritomb.

If you want one too, you can try the Trade Forum or even the GTS, as it is registred in the Pokédex due to Cynthia's one.

and no, Synchronize or any Emerald ability additions only work with Wild Pokémon (besides the roaming ones, Cresselia and Mesprit). To control abilities from eggs, you give the female Pokémon or Ditto an Everstone and the Pokémon that will come out of the egg has 50% chance to inherit the Nature from the Everstone Pokémon that is breeding.

for more info, check the breeding guide at 4th Generation discussion forum really =p it's really helpful.
