I have poke-black. So that means only rotation? Ive been looking for triple battles, but cant find any.

I apologize for the nature of my post.
I'm just really having trouble beating her.

Heh, she does throw most for a loop if you aren't well prepared. Grounds have quite an in against her and high defense pokemon can sop up Volt Switch and counterattack! Roggenrolla took her entire team, rocking the flying rats and the big boy!

There may be only 1 or 2 Triple Battles in Black (conversely the same is said of rotations in White.) I know of 1 on the way to White Forest (Black City for thee.) Look on the way over the bridge.

i tried breeding weavile(male with dark pulse) with a serviper(female) to get a serviper with dark pulse but all i get is a serviper with only warp.... anyone knows why?

Because Dark Pulse is no longer a TM in the fifth gen, nor is it an egg move for Seviper.

You need to do it in the fourth gen, then transfer the Seviper over.

You can't do this in Gen V carts. You need to do it from a Gen IV (DPPtHGSS) cartridge.

What's a Serviper? Seviper? Surperior?

They both don't learn Dark Pulse threw Egg Move anyway. Seviper can learn Dark Pulse in Gen-IV with the TM though.

EDIT: Ninja'd... twice....

Seviper only learns Dark Pulse via the TM from Diamond/Pearl/Platinum.

Seviper doesn't learn this move any other way.

This has probably been asked before, but I'm too lazy to read through 211 pages to find the answer (I know, right? The nerve of me!), so I was wondering if there was a Gen V Pokemon that can learn Spore/False Swipe, via egg moves, breeding, level ups, or any combination thereof.

I haven't been able to find one yet....

I have a feeling that a Gen IV+ Breloom (to stay away from Effect Spore, better speed than Paras) will continue to be the best catcher Pokemon, but I thought I'd toss it out there....

The one Pokemon line capable of learning Spore in fifth gen can't learn False Swipe, so Breloom remains the best catcher.

 

[Ash_Junior]

k I thought so.....time to Pokeransfer a catcher from Gen IV

 

[Xaby]

The one Pokemon line capable of learning Spore in fifth gen can't learn False Swipe, so Breloom remains the best catcher.

Parasect is also viable.

Tyranitar Question

can a 4th gen w/Fire Punch breed with a 5th gen to make a larvitar w/ Fire Punch?

 

[ThousandMaster]

So, I was on Marvelous Bridge, talking to an NPC. It commented on the scenery, then the person standing next to him suddenly vanished, an unexpected event the character responded to. Does this relate to anything? Am I supposed to do something now? Definitely did not see that coming, at any rate.

Why would you use Parasect? Breloom's better attack and Speed make Parasect inferior.

Nope, just an Easter Egg ghost/apparition/mirage/whatever. It has no bearing to the game, as far as anyone knows.

@ TehBrawlGuy~
It's just an option, if all you need is the Spore/False Swipe combo. And it's far more accessible in White.

A few quickies.
1 - Is it still possible to use the Chain shiny hunt method? Example: Marvelous Bridge, RE with 100 Swanna, would that increase my chances of finding a shiny Swanna?

2 - How do you find out if a Pokemon was caught in another country? Is there a spot in the info that allows you to know this information?

3 - How much faster does a Pokemon with Flame Body speed up the hatching of eggs? (I want to know if it is a noticeable difference.)

Thanks in advance. (;

1. That would help with your chances but it'd still take a while.

2. I think the only way to tell is by the language of that pokémon, if that is no different then I do not believe there is a way to check.

3. It halves the time needed.

 

[Xaby]

There's a long way to check: The Unity Tower. All the trainers you have traded with are there, and if you want to check if the Pokémon is from a different country, just check the floor where the Trainer Name and the Pokémon matched.

 

[Pokeman1234]

Chandlure is supposed to have the highest base stats of all non-legendary pokemon am I correct? SO if I ev trained it in Sp.Atk it'd become rather powerful?
