Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)
Hey everyone.
Ok...I have a Pokemon with Bold nature. As I'm sure the vast majority of you will know this encourages development in Defense but hinders Attack. If I EV train this Pokemon in Attack (252 for example) will that sort of make up for it or will it be a total waste of EVs? Its characteristic is mischievous which is ideal because I want its Sp. Attack to be its strength but I really dont want its Attack to suck because it'll most likely have 4 attacking moves - 2 Sp. Attack and 2 Attack.
Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)
EV training in a stat that is hindered by nature is kind of a waste.The point of EV training is to make the stat as high as it can get which is why people usually EV train in stats that are increased by nature. You'd be better off not making it a physical attacking Pokemon to be honest. If you EV trained in attack, the stat would still be hindered by nature when it levels up.

Yea, it will.
Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)
Hi, do Ekans or Arbok appear anywhere in the Black Version 2? I know that neither can be caught in the wild, but I was hoping to run into a trainer with one so I can register it in the Pokedex and request one on the Global Trade.

I just realized that Pokemon in Pokemon World Tournament aren't registered in the Pokedex; I batted Janine and Erika and their Pokemon went registered. I thought I'd be able to register Arbok from Janine and then request it in a trade. I'll have to find a trading forum and ask for an Ekans.
Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)
You know when a Pokemon is sent out, the screen shakes when Pokemon hit the ground? And the heavier the Pokemon, the more the screen shakes or whatever? And at a curtain weight, the Pokemon is so heavy, when it sent out and hits the ground, it stures up little dust clouds around it?
My question is, does anyone know how much a Pokemon needs to weigh, to only shake the screen a little, and so on?

Unfortunately that's right. It isn't in any of the four main series Generation V games at all, nor is it available on Dream World. You can transfer one from Heart Gold (where it's a Game Corner prize) or Soul Silver (where it's on Route 3) through. It's also an uncommon find in Johto Safari Zone.

I'm not sure if there are different weight groups specifically for this animation, but there are three different weight groups (Lightweights, Middleweights, and Heavy/Super Heavyweights) that correlate with the three different landing animations for battles. This could give you a general idea of the weight range required for each one.
Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)
Which legendary do you recommend I use the Master Ball on in Black 2? I already caught Cobalion, Virizion, Terrakion, Zekrom, and Kyurem so far without using it. I heard there are no roaming legendaries in this game, so should I just save my Master Ball for another game or is there something I should use it for in Black 2?
Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)
As far as I know you dont need to use it at all. I personally save Master Balls for Roamers, since there are none, I am choosing not to use it. You can use it for whatever you choose in B2, you could certainly use it for one of the legendaries if one of them is really hard to catch or something, it's up to you.
Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)
You could also save it in case you happen to run into a random Shiny (as in, besides the Haxorus and Gible) to make sure you can catch it without problem. But yeah, since there are no roaming legendaries, there's no real reason to use it besides ease of capture.
Also, just thought I should mention that it is possible to get more Master Balls in game:
1) The Raffle Shop at Join Avenue has it as a top prize (luck-based).
2) You can get one more from Colress after beating him on Route 18.
Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)
It's hard to find out if a similar question to this has already been asked, but when competing in the PWT (or anywhere else where your Pokémon's level defaults to 50), how do you know how much your Pokémon's stats will decrease?

Here's the formula for determining stats. Since the level is the only thing being changed for these Lv. 50 All battles, the stats are decreased by roughly 1-[50/(Lvl)]. For example, a Pokémon at Lvl. 100 would see their stats go down by about half, while a Lv. 75 one would have their stats reduced by about a third.
