According to the strategy guide, several breeders on numerous routes will do that. It is intentional and is a good way to level up your team.

How do I call Yancey. I already returned the dropped item to her, and then called her once on my own Xtransceiver, but then her name disappeared from my call list. How do i call her again.

Hello!

I am currently grinding the Battle Subway so I an get enough points for a choice scarf. I was doing the double battle train and I came across a fellow with a blitzle. My immediate reaction was to use Earthquake (my second pokemon had levitate so it didn't matter) and it said that "The foes Blitzle wasn't effected"

Is my game glitched? Please help

Thanks

Are you sure the Blitzle wasn't holding an Air Ballon?

Maybe the Blitzle was holding an Air Balloon?

Oh. What does an air balloon do? I've never heard of it before

The Air Balloon is a hold item that gives the holder total immunity to Ground moves. However, it pops if the holder is damaged by any attack.

Which means you would have to damage the Blitzle with another move first in order to pop the balloon, and after that, you can hit it with Earthquake.

Pokémon Black 2 & Pokémon White 2 - The Dropped Item

i just went to each of these places over and over and yancy randomly appeared in my xtranceiver

So I'm playing Pokemon Black 1, and I've reached Nimbasa city. Now there's a boss battle right after N reveals he's the king of team plasma on the ferris wheel. All of his pokemon are easily beatable - I can OHKO most of them, or perhaps a 2HKO on some. However, his goddamn Sigilyph is really annoying me. Since I picked Tepig, my strongest pokemon can't beat it. The only pokemon I CAN use to defeat it while using super-effective moves is my Blitzle, but it simply gets completely destroyed in one hit by Sigilyph. Since the only things

Will I simply have to level the heck outta my Blitzle and evolve it into Zebstrika or are there any moves which I could get to defeat it?

Pokemon:
Pignite 27
Munna 22
Blitzle 23
Tranquill 26
Pansage 20
Tympole 21

Blitzle should be more than okay if you have a good enough electric type move.

Or, if you feel you need something else, go catch a Sandile in the desert. It's part Dark-type

Maybe get a Yamask too? If I've remembered right, Sigilyph is part psychic, so Yamask can hurt it. I used my Yamask to beat N's Sigilyph in Nimbasa. The bloody thing is built like a tank though, it's hard to KO xD

During my Pokemon Black nuzlocke, I found N very annoying too at this point and nearly lost two Pokemon to him. If you have a Blitzle then that should be your best bet against him. The previous poster's suggestion of you getting a Yamask is a good idea too. That was how I took him out. I had my Yamask "Yasmine" use Will-O-Wisp and then Hexed the hell out of that Sigilyph. It was hard but it worked.

To be honest, I would spend extra time leveling up Blitzle to level 27, and evolving it into Zebstrika. Sigilyph is quite difficult to deal with at this point in the game, and Blitzle is a bit too fragile to survive Sigilyph's attacks. At least with Zebstrika, it'll probably be quick enough to attack first and do enough damage.
