Here is my 3 questions is there any way to change my location on that Global trade thing or whatever its called in black and white. Does anybody know of how the compatibility between BW2 and the originals work for trading and getting pokemon and how do i find my friend code.
1. Once you've resgistered a location on Geonet( the Globe thing next to where the GTS thing in in the Pokemon Center) it cannot be changed. If you want to register a new location, you'll have to start a new gameQuote:

3. To get your friend code, check your Pal Pad.
I'm training in the stadiums in Nimbasa City. I sent out my Drizzle Politoed and Pelipper against the NPC's Sawk and Throh. Here's what happened:
-Drizzle activated (of course).
-Throh used Wide Guard.
-Sawk used Close Combat on Politoed.
-Politoed used Hyper Voice, failed due to Wide Guard.
-Pelipper used Hurricane, OHKOed Sawk.
Sawk was at full health and its ability is supposed to be Sturdy...what just happened?
@Geodude; Sturdy is supposed to keep a Pokemon from getting 1HKO'ed as long as it is at full health. Sawk can either have Sturdy or Inner Focus as abilities, so it's possible it's ability was not Sturdy,but Inner Focus instead, therefore it could get 1HKO'd by Hurricane.
cool thanks i guess i going to have to restart my heartgold again the same with black eventually.Quote:

I got 2 new ? for anyone.
1. what version of bw2 am i suppose to buy because i have white already.
2. and if i buy white 2 and i transfer Zekrom from my white will i be able to do the same thing that got me a white kyurem to get a black one instead?
Right, I thought Sturdy was its only ability. I had it confused with another Sawk that's re-battle-able that does have Sturdy.
1. You can buy whichever version you like, if you want White Kyurem though, you'll have to buy White 2, but it's up to you to decide.Try looking to see which versions have the version exclusives you prefer and such.Quote:

2. I would assume Kyurem could fuse with your Zekrom using the Gene Wedge unless it has to fuse with the dragon you catch at Dragonspiral tower in that game.
Yeah I'd also just like to say thanks for the way you've explained all this. I had never understood nor taken the time to understand any of it until I came across your post.Quote:

IVs stand for "Individual Values". Individual Values are like your Pokémon's genes. You can't see them or change them. Each Pokémon has IVs in its six different stats. By this, I mean all Pokémon have a certain amount of IVs in HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed. The IVs are represented in numbers that vary from 0 to 31. The higher the number, the better that stat will be. This means you will always want your Pokémon to have 31 IVs in its stats, because that means it will be great at that. There are ways to see if your Pokémon has good IVs in one stat, though, and it's looking at its characteristic. Below your Pokémon's description (where it says where and when you caught it, and its nature) you can see a description. This description marks the Pokémon's stat with the highest IVs. Here's the list of all the characteristics and how many IVs it can represent: Characteristic - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia
Also, you can go to the Battle Subway, where there's a blue-haired guy who will tell you your Pokémon's best stat and how great it is. If he tells you "It can't be better in that regard", it means it has 31 in the stat he mentioned.
Now, EVs stand for "Effort Values". Every Pokémon yields EVs in different stats. That means, when you defeat them, they "give you points" in a certain stat. For example, if you defeat a Machop, you will gain 1 EV in Attack. If you defeat an Abra, you will gain 1 EV in Special Attack. If you defeat a Zubat, you will gain an EV in Speed.
The highest amount of EVs you can put to a single stat is 252, and the total of possible EVs for a Pokémon is 510. That means, you can max two stats (meaning you can put 252 in two different stats, and then you'd be left with 6 EVs). That would mean, if you want a Pokémon to have 252 EVs in Attack, you would have to defeat 252 Machop, Lillipup, Patrat or whatever Pokémon that yields EVs in Attack. However, there are many ways to make this process much easier and quicker:
First of all, you can buy Vitamins. Each vitamin gives you 10 EVs in a certain stat, and you can only give a Pokémon 10 vitamins per stat. Let's say you give 10 Proteins to your Nidoran. 10 Proteins x 10 EVs in Attack that each one of them gives you = 100 EVs in Attack. There are still 152 EVs left to reach the maximum of 252.
Now, get your Pokémon infected with Pokérus. What is Pokérus? It's a beneficial virus that makes a Pokémon gain twice the EVs it would normally gain when defeating a Pokémon. If your Nidoran has Pokérus, when it defeats a Patrat, instead of gaining 1 EV in Attack, it will gain 2 EVs. Neat, isn't it? (Before you ask, there isn't a specific way to get Pokérus. It's easier to find a shiny Pokémon than to get Pokérus, so go figure. You can always ask here for a Pokémon that has Pokérus so it can "infect" your Pokémon).
However, there are still other ways to make this easier. At the Battle Subway, you can buy power items, which are like bracelets. Each of them costs 16 Battle Points. There are six braces: one for HP, one for Attack, one for Defense, one for Special Attack, one for Special Defense and one for Speed. Now, what do these braces do? They make you gain 4 EVs more than you normally would in a certain stat.
Let's say your Nidoran is holding the Power Bracer, which is the bracelet that gives you 4 EVs in Attack. You just defeated a Lillipup. Good, that's 1 EV in Attack, + 4 EVs you get from the Power Bracer, means you get 5 EVs. But wait, you have Pokérus, which multiplies this number by 2. This means you end up getting 10 EVs in Attack for every single Lillipup you defeat. If you defeat 15 Lillipups, you'll get 150 EVs. If you add that to the 100 you already had from the Proteins, that means you have 250 EVs. Now, you can remove the Power Bracer and defeat one more Lillipup to get the 2 EVs left. There you go, you maxed your Attack stat! That, paired with 31 IVs in Attack will make your Nidoking a beast. It would be great if your Nidoking also had 31 IVs in Speed and you maxed that stat with 252 EVs in Speed.
Now, about that Nidoking. I trained one myself, and here's how I trained it:
Nidoking @Leftovers
Jolly nature 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 6 HP
-Poison Jab
-Earthquake
-Megahorn
-Sucker Punch
Its IVs are 17 HP / 31 Attack / 18 Defense / 6 Special Attack / 11 Special Defense / 29 Speed
I hope all this helped! I really wanted to make it as less confusing as I could... Feel free to ask anything you don't understand ;)
Feels really good to finally have a grasp of this now! Thanks
Got any advice getting shiny pokemon and how do you breed them as well.
Shinies are pretty rare. Often if you want them you need to look for them. There's always the possibility of running into random shinies, as Ive done so before. I'd suggest just encountering lots of Pokemon and don't use Repels. Though there are other ways to get them. You can Soft Reset stationary Pokemon by saving the game right befor encountering the Pokemon and if it isn't shiny that time, reset the game and try again, though this can take a very long time to get a shiny. Masuda Method has better odds, to use Masuda Method for breeding shinies, put a Pokemon from your language game in the Daycare with a Pokemon from a different language game, such as a Japanese Pokemon. Make sure the Pokemon are in the same Egg group. Two of the same Pokemon will produce eggs faster. Make sure to use an Everstone if you want a certain nature or the male Pokemon knows any moves you want to pass down. When hatching the eggs, try having a Pokemon with Flame Body in your party which reduces the hatching time by half. This may take a long time to hatch a shiny baby Pokemon but it is much better odds than just encountering a shiny or resetting for one, though not all Pokemon can be bred, so breeding will not get you any Pokemon shiny that is unable to breed such as a Legendary.Quote:

There is always a risk using a cheating device. I think if you are worried about screwing up your game to not use one or use only codes that are tested and confirmed to work the right way. If you are in doubt about any code or cheat, do not use it.Quote:

Nope. I've done that to Pearl and it works just fine. The gameplay clock just doesn't up anymore.Quote:
