    Simple Questions and Simple Answers 3

    I know in Black and White you can KO the stationary legends, then beat the Elite 4 and catch them later. My question is, if I KO Cobalion, can I come back later after beating the Elite 4 and SR for a shiny? I know Black and White have some weird shiny mechanics (shiny checks so certain Pokemon...

    The Simple Question / Simple (or not so) Answer thread Mark II

    There are 4 ways to go about this: 1) Go to where Staravia appears, run around a lot until you find another (not suggested) 2) You could learn to chain, theres a whole thread here on it. Then you could use a sychronizer for your nature and hope you get the right gender 3) You could RNG for...

    Shiny Pokémon with the Pokéradar

    There's a decent sized patch right as the fog starts. There is a honey tree a little NE of the patch. It's just before you go on the bridges and stuff. It's not ideal to chain in, but it isn't bad. Bagons (I think) only appear in Platinum. In other news for some reason Natu's are not being...

    Shiny Pokémon with the Pokéradar

    (This is across all my games) 1 - Beldum 62 (only caught 5 shinies, didn't rea;ize their catch rate is so low) 2 -Oddish 55 (I forget how many shinies) 3- Bronzor 52 - 12 shinies Just finished my 2nd Bagon chain. Caught 7 shinies bringing my total to 8. Yet another uncooperative chain >.<...

    Shiny Pokémon with the Pokéradar

    Sounds like most likely what happened was you walked out of the radar's range. This doesn't mean you left the grass, it means that you walked far enough away that you couldn't see any of the patches that shook. Sometimes this is easier to do than you think ,it happens to the best of us. In...

    Shiny Pokémon with the Pokéradar

    Basically, method I've been using is the Smogon guide (theres a link to it some where in this thread, but I can't find it >.<), or in other words, Totoro's guide + plus the idea of clusters and isolated patches. Here are the rules I follow (if I list a coordinate it will be in this format...

    Shiny Pokémon with the Pokéradar

    Sorry about that, I quoted the wrong person. No, it won't work in Platinum, it worked in generation 2 (gold and silver). The reason is back then, shinyness was determined by IV's, so when a parent was shiny it had a chance of passing down some of the IV's that made it shiny, therefore increasing...

    The Simple Question / Simple (or not so) Answer thread Mark II

    Yes, SR'ed Pokemon count as random shinies. I used my shiny Darkrai to find my SID.

    Shiny Pokémon with the Pokéradar

    This only works in Silver, Gold, and Crystal (Not HGSS) because back in those days shinyness was based off IV's. This isn't the case anymore, breeding shiny Pokemon with another normal, or even another shiny Pokemon results in the same odds as breeding with non-shiny parents in Gen 3 and 4...

    Pokemon Ethics- Hacking

    I didn't read any of this but the first page, so perhaps this has been said... As a person who chains a lot and has many shinies that way, and has SR'ed for a couple shinies, has played enough/ been lucky enough to have run into random shinies, I dislike hackers because so many people do it...

    Shiny Pokémon by RNG Abuse

    Re: Shiny Pokemon by RNG Abuse Are you hitting your target time/ delay/ seed? You can call Elm to verify that you hit your seed. If you know you're hitting your target time and delay check the little things, such as making sure you put the right ID/SID, making sure you're on the right day, etc.

    Shiny Pokémon by RNG Abuse

    Re: Shiny Pokemon by RNG Abuse Yes I get that... Do you need to know how to do it general, or do you have a specific problem (i.e. how does one advance the frame with no coin flip/ happiness checker app)?

    Shiny Pokémon with the Pokéradar

    Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar Those 4-7 patches (the red dot ones) will break your chain eventually. I'm fairly certain everyone on here who has done a lot of chaining has had those patches break chains numerous times, I know I have. This is not to say you shouldn't stick to it, those...

    The Simple Question / Simple (or not so) Answer thread Mark II

    It requires that you have a random shiny (not bred or chained) Pokemon, or 3-8 chained shinies (the red Gyrados also works, you catch it finds it's IV's, reset and do the whole process over again). You can then use RNG report to find your SID. You can also do it by hand with the aid of a PID...

    Does the presence of a metagame add or detract from the quality of Pokemon?

    I agree with the double battle guide comment. I could help with making this guide, but I'm fairly new to competitive battling (this year was my first VGC). Skarmbliss is all about doubles, but it lacks a lot of info. It is worth checking out though if you really like doubles.

    How Long Did It Take To Beat The Battle Frontier?

    I got the Battle Hall Gold with a Garchomp in Platinum. I want to do it with something different in Soul Silver, I got really far with a RestTalk Milotic. I've beaten the 1st Hall matron several times with several different Pokemon. I'm working on Battle Tower... I have TERRIBLE luck in that...

    Does the presence of a metagame add or detract from the quality of Pokemon?

    I definitely think it adds to the game play. I kinda lost interest in Pokemon before I started learning about EV's, IV's and such. The game itself is just too easy. The metagame gives the player something more his/ her money if they so wish to put the time into it. As far as seeing the same...

    Shiny Pokémon with the Pokéradar

    Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar Decided to start chaining Ralts because I need Synchers in my restart of Diamond yet. Got my chain to 40 on my first try (man, I'm on a roll thats my 3rd 1-shot 40 chain in a row, granted the last 2 chains were easy), and maybe even more lucky, I found 2...
