As the super-thin DS game cards give away, internal batteries are not a thing anymore.

Okay thanks I was super worryed about losing clocked based events.

In EV training would I boost the the two stats that are being boosted and lowered? For example if I had a lonely Oshawott and it's attack was being boosted and it's defence was being lowered, would these be the two best stats to EV train? I'm a little confused on what secondary stat should be EV trained.

Depends on what you're using the Pokemon for. For example, an attacker you'd likely want to EV train in their specific attack stat (Attack for physical attacker and Special Attack for special attacker) and Speed. It would never be recommended to EV train the stats being lowered by a Nature, because if you wanted to EV train for that stat you shouldn't have a Nature that lowers it.

Hey guys. Who are all the available water types in White 2, before the Elite Four? I know Psyduck but I felt like I'll give ol' Psyduck a break.

(Oh, is there a way this could be moved to Black and White 2 questions thread?) Sorry!

Can you get to Undella Bay before you get all badges and get to the Elite Four?

 

[Nutter t.KK]

Can you get to Undella Bay before you get all badges and get to the Elite Four?

In BW1, No, you need to beat the Elite 4.

In BW2, You're required to visit Undella bay at least twice before you get the last Gym Badge.

Nice. Thanks for the list and the info guys.

Hey guys just got a quick question. First playthrough of Black and I was wondering what the HM situation is. I'm 5 gyms in and I'm wondering if I should waste a spot on an HM slave...do I miss out on any rare pokemon in caves/get stuck if I don't have someone with Flash/cut/rock smash/strength?

I will be using Fly and Surf anyway, but I have a chance to delete strength from my Darmantian's moveset which I want to do. but was wondering if I'd need it again? And if I'll need some of the more useless hms is there a pokemon in black/white that can learn all of flash/cut/strength?

 

[echo13]

You'll definitely need a strength user. Most, if not all caves, have strength boulders, and a few routes. I think cut is used only a few times, same with flash. Can't remember about rock smash... I just used a Crustle with cut, strength, and rock smash and a Jellicent with surf, flash, and waterfall.

Just checked, Watchog can learn flash, cut, rock smash, and strength.

Wow. guess I'm using Watchdog as my HM slave.

If there is a thrend for this let me know so I looked it up and found out that Emolga can learn Iron tail though breeding and also shock wave.
My question is when I breed my Mareep with Blitze then Emolga will I get get Iron Tail if not how?

 

[carpark]

If you're breeding for a specific nature, is the nature applied to the pokemon when the egg hatches, or when you receive the egg? Wondering when to save/reset

 

[echo13]

I think everything is set when you receive the egg from the Daycare Man. To be sure to get the nature you want, if one of the parents has that nature, have them hold an Everstone. Makes the baby guaranteed to have that nature. Otherwise you'll probably be resetting a lot...

I by accident traded my Exp share away I was training a Dewott for another Pokemon on the GTS.
Is there any way I could get another Exp share if so where?

Assuming this is the one you got in Castelia City, you can get another in Icirrus City. In the Pokemon Fan Club building, show the owner a Pokemon that's been trained up 25-49 levels above the level you caught it. He'll give you another Exp. Share.

Thanks for the help.



EDIT:I tried that too and when I showed him my Level 100 Haxsoaurs I only recieved a clense tag.
You said there is one in Castelia city where?

 

[Thefourelements]
