Yes. Just like they get EXP.

i have a question about ev training: i'm recently finished training my level 72 blaziken on slugmas and spindas for one special attack ev each. will it gain those stats at level 100, or will i have to retrain it when it gets to level 100? also, does exp. share transfer evs to?

I'm not too sure when, but once the EVs are gained the stat changes will be apparent eventually. If not, you can try the Box trick, though I'm not too sure how to execute that. I think that involves putting your Pokemon in the computer, and withdrawing it to see the stat changes =/



Oh, for this I'm sure of the answer =P Yes, the Exp Share will give the Pokemon holding it EVs whenever a Pokemon is defeated. Like I said earlier, as long as experience is gained from a battle, EVs are gained as well.

The The stats from EV's should go up when you're pokemon levels up, but it might not really be too noticable until you reach higher levels...

As for the box trick that Snow mentioned...
If my understanding is correct, all you do is deposit you're pokemon and then withdraw. It's stats will reset to how they should be with any newly added EV's.

does anyone know if you need BOTH Latios and Latias to be able to get the Jhoto starter (chikorita etc.) for prof. Birch?

Yes, because they count towards your Hoenn Dex. I just recently got my Johto Starter and have completed Sapphire's (Hoenn) Dex, so I'm sure of it.

Yes, you need all 200 Hoenn pokemon including legendaries (Jirachi and Deoxys don't count).

I can't find Silver Poweder in route 120 or Dragon Fang in Meteor Falls, can anyone give me the exact location?

Silver Powder is found on the fifth rematch with the Bug Maniac there, I think his name is Brandon. You have to face him and Thief/Covet/Trick the item from him. It could be on any of his pokemon iirc.

Dragon Fang is found the same way, you have to fight the Dragon Tamer Nicholas in there. On the fifth rematch, one of his pokemon will be holding it. You have to Thief/Covet/Trick it from him.

Thanks, I'll try it.

Ok, time for a breeding question. I've got over 60 DD'ing baby Bagons, and not a single one of them is Adament. The parents are (an Altaria) Adament and (a Bagon) Gentle. Is there any reason why this is happening, and any way to change it? I've got nothing against babies, but 60+ seems like a bit too many. Oh, and if anyone wants DD'ing Bagons, just drop by my place. I've got tons. Literally.

The Everstone works, but it's all about chance...I got my DragonDancing Bagon with the nature Adamant in about 30 goes.

It's all luck of the draw. Every pokemon you have has a 1 in 25 chance of being the nature you want. My suggestion is to go out and catch a Adamant Bagon and breed that and Altaria to get a 100% chance of a bagon. Then you can work on DV's.

Everstone is supposed to give the holders nature to the baby, but isn't guaranteed.

Synchronize doesn't pass the nature on to the baby, what it does is makes it easier to find a pokemon in the wild with the same nature.

To answer your question, you should attach an Everstone to the Altaria and then just keep on breeding till you get one. I don't know how hard this is, I've never bred for natures, partly because I've never made a solid in-game pwnage team.

For me, the Everstone trick worked. I can't remember which Pokemon or what nature, but I remember getting a few more of the nature of the Everstone holder.

I've not bred a Bagon for Dragon Dance, but I have bred Mean Look and Memento onto a Ralts (Which was difficult). I didn't get a good nature for it though, as I only hatched one egg.

On my game, for some reason (with the everstone trick), my pokemon only inherit the natures of the mother. (Which angers me as my only adamant bagon is male, and so I can't get one with good DVs very easily.)
Do they only inherit the mother's nature or can it inherit either of the parent's natures?

It works on both, I've had experiences with it. It definitely raises the chance of the nature to be passed on.

Yeah, I know that :roll: .
But I'm not too sure, I've hatched 150 Bagons, yet not 1 adamant. So I'm quite confused, not to mention it didn't work for my male Heracross either, the off-springs would only inherit the mother's nature. (Luckily, that was adamant.)

Anyone wanna clear this up?

Ok, Natures.

Normally, if you breed two pokemon that are in the same egg group, then the pokemon that will be in the egg is the same species as the mother. It can have any nature, any DVs and the attacks it would normally know at level 5.

However, you can breed moves onto the pokemon by giving these "egg moves" to the pokemon's father. Then, after you hatch the egg that was made, it will know these moves.

The nature of the baby is normally random, however, if you attach an Everstone to the mother before breeding, it is supposed to give the baby the mother's nature, as stated on the Emerald Breeding changes page on Psypoke, which can be viewed here. If you were to give a Ditto the Everstone, then it would pass on its nature to the baby, whether it was acting as the mother or father.
(Corrected by goldenquagsire. Thanks, GQ.)

So, in answer to your question Cal, everyone who said that you can attach the Everstone to EITHER parent, and it'll give the baby its nature is WRONG. Including me. If you attach an Everstone to the mother, it'll give the baby its nature. If you attach the Everstone to a Ditto acting as a parent, it'll still give the mother's nature.

So, I hope this cleared some things up about Emerald Breeding.

Thanks Lugia, sorry if I confused anyone.

Sorry if this question has already been asked but, how do you get contest
scarfs from the Slateport Pokemon Fan Club?

By maxing out your pokemon's condition with PokeBlocks. (E.g. Maxing out cool, etc.) Then talk to the chairman and you should obtain a Scarf.

WRONG. The Ditto, if it is holding an Everstone, will have a 50% chance of passing on it's nature to the baby, even if the Ditto is acting as a father. I know this for a fact, because I've been breeding an ultimate team with specialized natures, and I've managed to graft perfect natures on all four of the Pokemon that I've bred, thanks to Dittos. Belive me, I even managed it with male Pokemon.

OK, so... Let's get things straight here.

So:
The offspring shall have a 50% chance of recieving the mother's nature if EITHER parent is holding an everstone. (I know that for a fact)
So, goldenquagsire, your Ditto story is basically the same fact as the one mentioned above; As even if the father is holding everstone, the offspring has a 50% chance of having the mother's nature.

And if you asked, I noticed this during my process of hatching an Adamant bagon.
And BTW, I still don't have an Adamant Bagon... So I guess it's time to remove the everstone from the parent, as the mother is Naughty nature, farther more, decreasing my chances of getting an Adamant Bagon.
