Merci, mon ami...

Another question; let's say i just beat the Galactic Grunts in Eterna City and Cynthia came up to me to give me the Togepi egg, but i had 6 Pokemon in my party, would she walk away and i'd have lost the egg forever, or would she wait there until i get rid of one and have enough room for the egg?

She will wait, i know because i got that situation the last time i played through the game.

Hi wonder if i could get a little help lol.

Well just to start off with. i dont like to cheat but only way i could get a shaymin is by doing this. (obviously i could trade but i meant event wise) Since im not prepared to trek miles on a train to get a pixel. lol

Well. i hacked the Oak's Letter and went to the area. oak isnt there but that marley pops up. Is there something wrong or have i forgot to do something.

Secondly. Iv'e read that hacking the Oak's letter will stop you from getting the gracia's flower is this true? and if so is there anyway around it?

Thanks in advance for anyhelp. been bugging me all night lol.

Is it possible for Shuckle to make Berry Juice out of Oran Berry's in generation IV games? I read this on Bulbapedia, but it's very confusing. On some pages it say generation II and III, on some it just says Oran Berry (inplying it would work in generation IV games too).
It also says that the berry juice will turn into a rare candy over time.

My questions are: is it true that shuckle can make berry juice and rare candies (in gen IV)? How is it determined when the item changes, by steps or by time? How many steps does it take or how long does it take?

Talking about hacks is not recommended here. This page explains why: http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?t=397567

I believe that there are some hidden switches that the only official Oaks pass hand out are switched. I could be wrong.

ahh my bad lol. like i said i dont normaly hack and stuff. lol i come across a site that can help me then its against the rules ^^; lol. but yes one of my friends says that i have to complete the sinnoh dex first.

Everyone says ask google but they dont tell you about the 100 of useless sites before you get your anwser lol.

Another question then. does skyform and origin form work on battle revo? or is it the same as wifi and they revert back or something?

 

[SharpedoX]

Questions: If I chain Beldum and keep a pokémon in front of my party with the Magnet Pull ability, will it be more common? And if it works does it also work if the pokémon is fainted?

Also where is the EXACT location of the Leftovers? I thought you could buy them on the Frontier...

Thanks in advance!

Get the National Dex is needed.

As for PBR, PBR doesn't recognise any Platinum Additions. You can't use the Sky Form in PBR.

Ponyta
Togkiss(I want to replace this with something)
Blank(I need something for here)

Evolve Pika and Ponyta. If you can trade and have a Metal Coat, evolve Scyther. Why do you need to replace Togekiss? It's a good, all-round special attacker. It's only flaw is the fact that it can have Hustle, which sucks. If you REALLY need to swap it, pick a Yanmega. Choose a HM Slave for the 6th slot, like Bibarel or Tropius. Preferably the latter, since it can also learn Fly.

my berries have been stuck in the ground for over 24 hours after I changed the time on my DS. Will they ever unfreeze or do I start overwith a new game?

They will unfreeze. Make sure that you don't change the time again or switch DSes.

I recently restarted my Platinum game (meaning I lost the Secret Key forever! OMG!), and I'm kind of stuck on how to build my team. Now, I want to incorporate an Eeveelution onto my team, as well as have a good defensive Pokemon for when I want to stall and heal my team during important battles. So should I go Garchomp and Umbreon, or Bronzong and Jolteon?

 

[Zero Nexus]

What exactly does it mean to "chain" for a shiny?

By the way, if you have an American game (Or a PAL game, obviously), you can still get the Secret Key off Wi-Fi.

Personally for me, ingame is simply about doing as much damage as possible as fast as possible, so I'd go with Garchomp and Umbreon, or even Garchomp and Jolteon if you want to sweep fast. Sometimes I just use HM slaves as bait so I can heal.

Both are good combinations. And since it's in-game it really makes no difference. You probably wont even have to stall. So pick the two Pokemon you like most.

Using the PokeRadar every time you beat or catch a Pokemon and find that Pokemon again it is a chain. Your chance of finding a shiny increases as your chain gets higher.

 

[Nightlingbolt]

My main team is going to be Empoleon, Staraptor, Roserade, Rapidash, and the last two, and I plan on raising them as evenly as possible.

What about Garchomp and Magnezone? Then I'd have Ground- and Electric-types, and I'd have someone who can take physical attacks while still doing good amounts of damage!

But hey, Garchomp and Jolteon is a good combination too, since they both have high Attack and Special Attack scores. What I'm worried about is how frail they are, and I need something that can take a hit while I restore a fallen Pokemon.

 

[Zero Nexus]

Using the PokeRadar every time you beat or catch a Pokemon and find that Pokemon again it is a chain. Your chance of finding a shiny increases as your chain gets higher.

So i just use the Pokeradar to find a certain Pokemon, beat/capture/run from it, and as i keep doing it the chance of finding a shiny version of it increases?

 

[Nightlingbolt]

No, don't run. That breaks the chain.
