The Pokemon Questions Thread Again!

How about Ice burn and Freeze shock?
Are they also programmed?
Thanks anyway.

Yes. Everything (except Cries, Sprites, and Pokéstar Studios opponents' are Programmed in BW.

I'd like to know this too.
Is the 'foreign' bit the region it was caught in, or the language of the game?
For example, my neighbour plays the game in German while I play it in English, would her pokémon qualify as foreign?

The language of the game.

With the new changes to breeding and being able to pass down male abilities, how does this work? Say Male pokemon has the ability I want, and female pokemon has the personality... who gets the everstone?

So I'm trying to get a Ninetales that learns the egg move Hypnosis AND has Drought. I have a male Ninetales that knows Hypnosis and a female Ninetales that has Drought. I'm just wondering if it would work because I bred them a few times and hatched some eggs, none of them had Drought but they all knew Hypnosis. So will it work?

HAs are passed from the male by breeding with Ditto.

You'll hatch a Drought Vulpix at some point, it just might take a while.

Are you sure? I hatched 18 Vulpixes and none of them have Drought, so I'm not sure about it, or am I just really unlucky?

You're just really unlucky. Female Pokemon (in Gen V) have a 40% chance of passing down their Hidden ability to their offspring, as long as they're not breeding with Ditto.

Are you breeding with Ditto? That shall not work. You need to breed the Pokemon with a Pokemon in its own Egg Group, but not Ditto.

Another question;
When training with a lvl 100 as lead and the rest low lvl Pokémon with EXP share on, All EXP is devided over the low levels right? the lvl 100 not snagging some?
And if the lvl 100 has an Lucky Egg equiped, do the others get more EXP, or would that be useless?

The Level 100 will snag no Experience, and Lucky Egg on the Level 100 is utterly useless.

Where do Pokemon fansites get high quality Sugimori artwork of Pokemon and Pokemon characters? Because I don't see Sugimori artwork of Pokemon like Goomy and Bergmite, only Dream World artwork and I don't see artwork of Olympia, Wulfric, and the Kalos Elite Four.

What exactly does spikey shield do? Also, will mega evos be covered in POTW? If so, will they have a separate page to the normal version or be included as a sub section on the same page?

 

[Forbidden Snowflake]

Is there any special method to get DW pokes on X&Y, or it just relies depends on one's access to any such treasure from past 5th gen games?

Spiky Shield is essentially just Protect, but if the foe uses any physical move on Chesnaught, the attacker will take damage. I have no idea about the megas, though.

Regarding the question in the above post, most Pokemon with their DW abilities are accessed through the "Friend Safari" feature unlocked in the postgame, as well as some being found in Horde Battles.

Spiky Shield is like Protect, protecting from all moves that target it. If it is targeted with a move that makes contact, the attacker is damaged 1/8 of its max HP.

I take it then that it works like reflect and lasts a certain amount of turns? Also, is it only physical moves Chesnaught is protected from or all attacking moves as a whole?

Nope, it's just one turn. It's EXACTLY like Protect, save for the fact that it does damage to attackers that make contact.

Are you breeding with Ditto? That shall not work. You need to breed the Pokemon with a Pokemon in its own Egg Group, but not Ditto.

I'm breeding a Ninetales with a Ninetales, not a Ditto.

Well its only good on toxic stall sets then...
