I've never used Sudowoodo, but I think adamant would be better.

I just hatched: 31 / 31 / 31 / 4 / 29 / 31 Adamant Gyarados in Emerald

[Pingouin7]

Special attack is very low, however...

Anyway, it is still possible to make more eggs to get two Gyarados with the 31's and 29, then make more eggs to get a 31 / 31 / 31 / higher than 20 / 29 / 31 Magikarp.

If you want to put moves like Ice Beam and surf, use the above technique.

Otherwise, keep the other one if you plan on using physical Attack moves.

Oh yay! I've just hatched a pichu with this Ivs!

Hardy #172 Pichu: 12 / 28 / 28 / 26 / 4 / 28

Hidden Power Type is 'Fighting'. Hidden Power Power is 40.

Am planning to get a good pichu, but i need to breed 2 dittos between them, is that possible?

[Selic]

i need help breeding a salamance in emerald, ive got some questions:

1- if i let my pokemon in the trainer to level up does he gains EVs?
2- how should i breed my salamence so my bagon have dragon dance has an egg-move?
3- how do i calculate the IVs of my new born bagon?

thanks

[Pingouin7]

1- We cannot really answer this, as we don't know what you mean by "in the trainer".
2- Get a Male Salamence with Dragon Dance.
3- Go to the Battle Frontier and talk to the guy who tells you wich is your Pokémon's better stat. If you have many tied good stats, he will say one randomly. Otherwise, you could clone 100 RC and get your Bagon to Lv 100 (Evolve it or not won't change anything) then use Serebii.net's IV Calulator.

1- no hne doens't EVs son't take into accounte when lvling up in Day-care. Isliek rare candys
2-Breed it with a Kindra(si that it has Dragon Dance and too Hydro Pump)
3-use the rare candy method. use rare cnadys to lvl it up to lvl 100. or use Metalkid's Iv calc:http://www.metalkid.info/Pokemon/Onl...lators/IV.aspx


Can someone answer if dittos breed between them? please? cause in my emeralkd, the don't! >=(

[Ceecee-typhlosion]

My Rayquaza has all IVs at 31
is that normal for a legendary?

[golden jirachi]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat! How lucky, and now, it's not normal at all! Is perfect! here a possibility of 1 in 1m to get a pokemon with 31 IVs in all stats!

what level is it?

[Pingouin7]

Rayquaza is caught at lv 70, so I guess it is lv 70, if (s)he haven't trained it.

[Ceecee-typhlosion]

what level is it?

i have trained it, it's level 100

[Pingouin7]

Did you count down it's EV?

Because if you didn't, the EV you calculated are wrong.

[Pingouin7]

If you didn't count it's EV, the IV you have are wrong.

[Ceecee-typhlosion]

I checked it on the IV calculator

[Pingouin7]

Did you count the EV or not?

[Heliotrope]

I checked it on the IV calculator

I hope you didn't use Serebii's IV calculator, since it doesn't take EV's into account.

Try MetalKid's IV calculator instead.

[Ceecee-typhlosion]

i tried using the other IV calculator
as i did use the serebii one
but to me the other one is too complicated
I also don't count EV's or anything like that

There's no point using an IV calculator if you don't know what your Pokemon's EV's are. You aren't going to get an accurate result.

Your Rayquaza's IV's aren't all 31's. Trust me.

[Ceecee-typhlosion]

i have no idea on how to count EV's anyway
thats why i dont do it
i only checked the serebii calculator to check my shiny swamperts IV's and i randomly checked my Rayquaza
it's not like i really care about the IV's, because i thought that it was weird that the calculator said 31 for all, so to be honest i didn't believe the calculator to begin with, as it showed the chances of how you can get 31 in all IV's
