During a Wi-Fi battle, does the attacker's or the defender's RNG determine if an attack's additional effect, such as Ice Beam's Freeze, happen?

 

[Luxe]

I think it is the defender's.

I want my Ho-oh in Platinum to learn Brave Bird. Brave Bird is HGSS exclusive. If I trade my Platinum Ho-oh to HG and go to the Move Relearner will I have the option to teach it Brave Bird, even though I didn't recieve it in HG?

Yes it will.

 

[Noctourniquet]

^ That will work fine.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

Thanks for the insanely quick replies.

For syncronizing natures, does anyone know if syncronize still comes into effect when you encounter a wild pokemon, even though your syncronizer has already been fainted before the encounter?

EDIT: @TheBlueRabbit: thanks, that helps me out a lot.

 

[Noctourniquet]

^ If it is first in the party, then a fainted Syncroniser will still work.

Quick question.. When is the earliest that you're allowed to battle via wifi on these games?

Once you reach Oreburgh.

I was looking at the ItemDex, and in the Sitrus Berry entry it shows a few unusual entries.

It seems you can battle Candice at Snowpoint Temple in D/P/Pt as her Abomasnow has one in D/P, and her Froslass has one in Pt.

It also seems you can battle Cynthia and the E4 in the Survival Area, because they all have a Pokemon equipped with a Sitrus Berry.

Does anyone know how to get these battles?

 

[jabs4]

Serebii screwed up. You cannot battle Cynthia & the E4 in the Survival Area.

Guys, how long do you have to battle in the battle tower until you face Battle Tycoon Palmer in Platinum?

He's the 21st and 49th battles, like D/P.

 

[jabs4]

20 consecutive wins in the Battle Tower. On the 21st, you face Palmer for the first time.

 

[A7X_Slayer]

21

First battle with him is at the 21st Battle
Second is at 49 I believe

 

[pokemaster394]

Thanks guys. I'll get to battling there again asap.

 

[Noctourniquet]

^ Good luck. The first 21 is pretty easy. It's afterwards that things get harder. If you don't already know, you need to beat Milotic, Rhyperior, and Dragonite.
