If you have already fought enough to gain the Evs but they havent all been put on the stat, can I use rare candies to allocate the Evs to stats or do I have to train normally until they gave been allocated them use rare candies?

I don't quite understand what you're trying to say.

Using Rare Candies doesn't have any effect on your EVs, though. When you use a Rare Candy, it doesn not give you any EVs; it just gives your Pokemon enough experience to level up. You will have to use vitamins, fight other Pokemon, etc. to gain EVs in a stat.

ill try to rephrase it, lets say im training a walrein in hp, i kill 50 gastrodon so i have "gained" 100 hp evs but not all of them have been put in the stat by lvling up.
if i then use a rare candy will hp evs be added to the stat or will it ignore them because i used a rare candy?

You won't see the full effect of those EVs until level 100. It doesn't matter how you get the Pokemon to level 100, so it would end up with the same stats regardless of whether you levelled it up by using Rare Candies or by fighting other Pokemon. So, Rare Candies do not ignore your Pokemon's EVs.

Ok, is there an item such as "Lucky Egg" or anything of the such obtainable prior to the third gym in pokemon pearl? My shieldon is taking a while to gain enough exp to move up 3 levels, so is my Monferno.

[Prince Amrod]

in a word, no. exp share is the closest to that nd i dont think it is available til after the the 3rd gym. best thing to do is jus to keep grinding in the grass near the gym and earn levels that way

If my Rhyhorn has Lightningrod as its ability, will it have it when an Rhyperior?

Most probably.

[HydroSwampert]

Most probably.

Thanks, that's what I thought, but I wanted to be sure. Now I have to train another to get Solid Rock.

When can i get pokemon from firered/leafgreen ect by putting it in the DS do i have to beat the pokemon league first and i don't mean migrating them i mean like getting Lotad by putting Sapphire in the DS for pokemon platinum thanks.

My understanding is you have to be able to use the pal park before the dual slot pokemon will start appearing, so it won't really help with getting your playthrough team together.

is there anyway you can see drifloon other than battling the trainer in Heathrome gym or only catch it on fridays cause then i have to wait a week so does anyone know where i can see him he is my last one to see in pearl.

Change the day on your DS to a Friday.

Those are the only ways to see Drifloon on Pearl. So you're going to have to see one on Friday (and if you plan on changing your DS's clock, I think you would have to set it to Thursday because I think changing it "freezes" the time-based events for 24 hours or something).

Can you clone pokemon in platinum

Can you clone pokemon in platinum

You can't do it using the GTS like in DP. However, this page says that it's possible to clone in Platinum by turning off one of the DSes while trading...but this might corrupt your game.

I want to get spiritomb, and was hoping someone would be bored enough to help me get it?

If you've got the European Version, (which lacks the ESRB warning) Slots are permanently disabled in Platinum. They've even changed the Dialogue in the room.

Awyway this is the EV Help thread.

Sorry I read the title of the thread wrong. Seems pointless putting the coincase in there if you cant even use the slots.
so if you want to get anything with coins from the game corner ive got to buy the coins,great

So this doesn't really qualify as 'help', but starting a thread for glitches this many years after the release seems kinda pointless :S

Anyway I just discovered a glitch which I've not heard anyone else point out, so thought I'd mention it here. On Platinum, while breeding Togepi, I noticed that when I picked up my Togepi eggs from the daycare man they'd skipped the first 'what will hatch from this?' stage and passed straight to 'occasionally moves, must be close to hatching'. After confusedly thinking I'd made a mistake the first time, I repeated it, and yes, this is true of all Togepi eggs.

I'm guessing that this is due to the Togepi egg Cynthia gives you in Eterna City, which is also pre-set to that hatching stage when you receive it, probably to make it faster for you to hatch. The game must read all Togepi eggs as *that* egg and speed up the process for you.

Anyways, it's handy if you're breeding for Wish Eevee

@Togekiss, the HM deleter is in Canalave City, and I'd personally say your team needs a little more level grinding before you hit Cynthia, or her Garchomp will tear you to shreds. It's best if all your team are at least lv50.

Can I toss my Modest Trapinch in the Daycare until it reaches 65 (Earth Power) and then EV train it from there?

Yes you can. It doesn't matter what level you start EV training at.

[pit-fall]

Yes you can. It doesn't matter what level you start EV training at.

I thought so I just had to make sure. Can you help me in this thread?
