Was the Ditto transform + Thief item dupe legit or a load of shit? I know it was mentioned like 30ish pages back but I can't find it and wanted to know if anyone has had any success with it.

[Malaquist]

I guess I could give you one, it's my Milotic but I suppose I could just make another one. I think it'd be more important to have those starters at the moment.

If you still need the ones I have...

If it's the only Milotic you have, I don't want it, because these eggs take me like 10 minutes to make and it's not really fair if I gank something you put a lot more effort into.

I'll get on AIM when these eggs hatch, harass me if you still want anything and I'll go get it.

Was fixed in NA version

Milotic

What pokemon do you have? I can give you a Lv.8 Milotic with really good IVs (I think most of them are over 20).

[Malaquist]

I doubt I have anything worthwhile, I've just been importing stuff from the GBA games for the sake of having it, I don't even really pay attention to stats because I just zerg the NPCs with special attacks. The only thing I've discovered is that my Weavile has horrible, horrible special attack, which I learned *after* I taught it ice beam. I should probably just get on GTS and fish around for a hacked Milotic or something since I just want one to muck around with and see how it does. Other than a few starters and Eevee the only thing I could probably get is like.. Tyrogue maybe.

I just noticed that the Farfetch'd from that NPC in red/green has one point in cool though. wtf?

[Priran]

Starters from which version?

[Tonko]

gdamnit
There's supposed to be a Fire Plate somewhere in Stark Mountain, in a wall, on the left, but I can't find it. Any help?

[Julian]

There's 2 trainer double battle, with an item near it, and like on a 1-cell path thing below it, all the way on the left, is the plate

[Huggo]

Grrr I still can't find anyone who will part with a Houndoom. Does anybody have one yet?

[Tonko]

Thanks Julian, just need a Flying plate and I'll have all of them.

Time to go spelunking!

Flying plate it right outside the E4, before you use waterfall, in the flowers

[Tonko]

Well howdya like that. Thanky Magus.

[Huggo]

Will trade a Palkia or Dialga for Houndoom.

There have to be SOME Pearl players on here who have one.

[Lbelle]

[Tonko]

How do PP up items work? Is there a max that can be used?

Edit: found the info, 3 PP ups or 1 PP Max per move, for a total of +60%.

Questions about EV's:

For EV's to be collected, do you have to kill it? Or will you get them from entering the battle
Does EXP Share give EV's?

[Tonko]

Yes, you have to kill it. EVs are only earned when XP is gained.

I don't know about XP share though.

[yayaok]

expshare gives EV, so if you defeat a golbat with a raichu and pikachu holding expshare, they both get 2 SPD EV
as for ditto nature passing; i just remembered reading somewhere that the mother ditto passes down IVs too, this is correct yes? cant seem to get serebii to work

[Artica]

The mother with an everstone attached gives roughly 50% chance to pass down the nature, same with Ditto holding one.

As for how many IVs are passed down, it seems random with approx bell curve distribution from 1-4. I think there have been a few cases of 5 IVs being passed down between both parents but it's exceedingly rare. Most commonly you'll inherit 2 or 3 IVs from the parents, with the rest being random.

There's a thread containing a ton of information on this on Smogon, but I can't remember where it is.
