Thread: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)

I was trying to evolve my budew before lvl 19, so it could learn magical leaf, but I'm an idiot and raised it to lvl 18. My question is if I can get it happy enough and get it to evolve at lvl 19 will it learn the move at the same time as evolving? Thank you so much in advance!

You may be Or not depending on a few things.

What level did you start raising it?

At least its just a budew. If it fails to evolve, you can always catch another and try again.

Yes, if it manages to evolve at level 19, it will learn the move at the same time of its evolution.

By the way, why would you want Magical Leaf? Isn't Giga Drain or Energy Ball better? Or is it just because Magical Leaf can't miss?

I started raising it at level 11. And frankly I'm not sure what's better, haha. I've never really put forth any effort in raising a grass type in Gen IV, so I'm not sure which attacks are better than others. XD And thanks you guys!
I was afraid to save my game for a minute there!

I have a hacked Celebi if you are interested. Or I can give you a legit one.

Hacked Pokemon don't mess up your game at all in my own experience, they don't do a lot. In fact they have a lot of advantages over other Pokemon due to some of the abilities people give them. Some people make up horror stories about hacked Pokemon - saying that they screw up almost everything, make your game go weird, corrupt things, etc. I've been lucky every single time though ^w^.

well if you're offering a legit one I'll take it:) is it on gen 4?
and yeah, i heard its not the actual pokemon that messes up your game but the codes used to get the pokemon that mess it up, and since i wouldnt acutally be hacking my own game i didnt think it would be an issue but i just wanted to make sure

gen 5. :)

awww i'm on gen 4:(

First off, certain actions, like getting the Pokémon massaged/groomed, using vitamins or EV-lowering berries, or simply walking it around a lot with it in the party will raise its happiness without getting it closer to evolving.

Secondly, if it does make it past Level 19 before evolving and you still want the move, you can always take it to a Move Relearner as Roselia or Roserade. It costs a Heart Scale, but they're not that hard to find in Gen. IV, especially in Pt or HGSS.

i second this. If you work hard enough, it can happen. I was able to evolve my gifted Riolu to a Lucario by lvl.2 back in Pt lol

Is there any way to choose which moves you get in the DW? Do you have to get a certain score threshold to get a B or C move?

Is there a way to check how many EV your pokemon has? I don't want to record them all..

@PrimalDialgaPrime Try the Simple Questions thread from now on.

Anyway, aside from some hacking devices (not sure which), there's no true way to check their EVs. Unfortunately, recording EVs is pretty much mandatory.

Yes, certain scores determine what move you get. Although not much research has been done into it, so as far as your percentage to getting the move you want isn't certain. But, this page lists what thresholds you need to at least get to for a chance.

You could upload them to Pokecheck.

Will the ability Technician be activated if a move like Double Hit is used?

Yes. Which is why my older brother kicked serious butt at least year's VGC with Cinccino.
