Everstone passes down natures (50% chance). Power items pass down the IV in their respective stat (100% chance, HGSS only).

If you have a female and a Ditto in the daycare, I'm not sure if the Everstone works on both of them. I know it always works on a Ditto, and it works on a female when a Ditto is not involved.

Hmmm, so if I want a baby Cyndaquil with a nature that neither my parent Cyndaquil nor Ditto have, I should keep breeding Cyndaquils until I get one with the nature I want, and then breed that one (holding an Everstone) with Ditto holding the Power item, and get a new baby Cyndaquil with both traits? :p

Brock was right. Breeding's tough!

Well... I would give it to you, but the game is telling me that there is no compatible access point. I'm not sure why. The DSi browser works just fine.

I'll try and fix it tomorrow.

Alright, if you get it figured out tonight just put a message in this thread, if it's tomorrow then just send me a pm.

I think that would work. Not 100% sure on the Everstone in that situation.

Make sure you have a Flame Body / Magma Armor Pokemon in your party (halves egg hatch time), then accompany it with 5 eggs and ride that bike back and forth on the longest stretch of straight ground you can find.

Edit: Wait, this is going to be awful. The starters only have a 1 in 8 chance of being female, and the Everstone only works on females and Dittos. Come up with a different course of action.

Hmm....should I just hatch eggs until one of them turns out female?
Is gender decided from the moment you receive the egg? Or could I save a few steps before the hatching and hatch it each time until it's female?

The DSi Browser and Store can use WPA access points. DS games are WEP or no encryption only.

Wouldn't work. All the stats are set in place either when the egg is made or when the daycare man gives it to you.

You'd best get a Ditto with the right nature.

:( So to do that, should I get two of the Dittos you gave me and breed them with the Power Items until I have high-IV Dittos of every nature?

I can trade more. Just specify natures and get online with 6 Pokemon to trade. Also specify any hold items.

EDIT: And Ditto can't breed with itself anyway. You have to catch them in the wild.

Well thanks. Let me check just what I should get.

How did you get all those dittos with high IV's? :O

Somethings up. My Mareep is lvl 14, yet never attempted to learn thundershock. Caught it at lvl 6.

Either leveling it in the pokewalker messed it up (I dont think I leveled it past 10 in the walker), or I just missed it.

Whitney's Miltank was a real team effort. Totodile used scary face a few times to negate its speed, Gastly used curse, then Geodude used self-destruct - Miltank didn't have a chance! Whole team was level 13-14 at the time.

Then, I made it to level 6 in Voltorb Flip and made *almost* enough to get a Dratini before the DS started flashing red. I'll play some more after the recharge.

You don't want to know. I have cloning capabilities though, which is why I'm more than willing to trade just about anything.

Oh cool.

Well I'd love Jolly, gentle, lax, relaxed, naughty, calm, Dittos.
If you could include the Power Items I didn't get last time, as well as include (if you have them) a Focus Sash, Exp. Share, I'd really appreciate that. This is probably asking for a lot, but I figured I'd ask anyway. Thanks!

I think I gave all of the Power Items to you. There should be six altogether.

I'll be online in a few minutes.

I'm really surprised I found a Mareep so early in the game (I've barely reached Azalea). Anyway I'm wondering, should I keep my Pidgey or trade it out for the
Togepi (not really sure if this is a spoiler)

Another dumb question: can I use that PokeWalker with a Platinum/Pearl/Diamond versions? Meaning, import a pokemon from Platinum to the PokeWalker and then port it into a HeartGold or SoulSilver?

No need to spoil it.

I personally avoid Togepi. It lacks good moves and it's pretty hard to fully evolve. As for Pidgey feel free to use it, he should be decent. I'm personally letting my Gyarados be the Pokemon with Fly. Seems pretty convenient to me.

This Togepi starts with Extrasensory. It's been a staple on my team since it hatched.

Pidgeotto has kicked all sorts of ass for me so far but others have reported success with that other Pokemon. Choose which ever one you like better.

I don't think you can transfer a Pokemon directly from Platinum to the PW. The Platinum cart doesn't have the infrared thingy. So you have to go Platinum -> HG/SS -> PW

My Togepi evolved into Togetic very quickly. Like lvl 15. Love its Extrasensory.

Is that why my SS cartridge is black-colored instead of gray?

Since when can Gyarados learn fly? I always wondered why it wasn't able to. Also can a kind person donate me an electirizer? I hate to beg but I don't want to wait until kanto to fully evolve my electabuzz.

Edit: Is it possible to get a scyther with the technician ability? I must have hatched like 20 of these things.

While it is a good move, his others moveset seem really depressing. I was looking forward to use Togekiss, but after I realized the pain I had to go through to evolve it and that I need to Heart Scale it for the good moves, I realized it wasn't worth the effort.

Apparently it can't learn Fly. For some reason I always though it would. Crap.

It's a Water/Flying type lol

I remember back in RBY days I thought it was a Dragon type.

Yeah I basically want Togepi for the Togetic/Togekiss. I guess I'm going to stay with Pidgey for now since Togetic lacks any flying attack and I don't have a shiny stone (and I'm too lazy to trade one in) this early in the game.

edit: late with the explanation, I guess. heh.

Togepi is fixed now. For one, the egg you get during the quest hatches with Extrasensory, an 80 power psychic move, instantly becoming the most powerful move at your disposal.

Second, you can transfer Togepi to the Pokewalker and gain happiness during the day; unlike levels there's no cap on gained happiness, I believe. In any case, this really helps solve the problem of evolving to Togetic.

There's still the problem of finding a Shiny Stone, but there are a few ways to get it in the game apart from trades...

Was that my fault or yours? It froze for a second then just dropped. I'm pretty sure you had me beat anyways, though. That was my first time using that team and it went worse than I hoped.

Extrasensory is a great move, no denying that, it's just after you evolve it and make it into Togekiss is the problem I have with it. It learns almost nothing useful later on for the game and unless you are willing to get Heart Scales, it's pretty much not worth it for me. Unless of course Heart Scales aren't that rare or you are willing to trade for them.

Yeah I realized I should have brought Umbreon out earlier to trap Regi and set up on it, would have worked a ton better, I think. Also, I totally expected Espeon to be faster than Sceptile.

Yeah Sceptile is pretty much bred to come in and shoot off powerful hits with it's speed.

The good:

They FINALLY made stuff like "speed sharply fell" just take one timing beat and one display section! There's apparently no "HOOTHOOT's SPEED ... ... ... SHARPLY ... FELL!" :D

The bad:

Am I correct in stating that you cannot turn auto-run on without the touchscreen, cannot turn auto-run off without the touch screen, cannot walk with auto-run on (i.e. by holding the run button which would make PERFECT SENSE), and cannot use a SECOND button on your second registered item? The touchscreen isn't bad, but I thought someone told me that you could register two items to buttons, and now it seems you have to use the touchscreen for the second one so you still have to move your hands around or just use stylus only for the right hand. Minor gripes, but still...they polish some things so much and then miss stuff like that. :/
