Timid is a terrible nature for a Gible, get another one that's Adamant or Jolly. Naughty, Lonely, Naive and Hasty work quite well too. Her individual values are also bad but those don't really matter in-game so don't worry about them unless you want to challenge people online. Either way, try to get one with a better nature.

this is post game and my gible is now level 22 attack 34
defense 25
sp.atk 23
sp.def 25
speed 25
item smooth rock
timid nature
and post game.
moves
sand attack
dragon claw

OK, Individual Values are set when you catch your Pokémon, and limit the Maximum (and also Minimum) stats your Pokémon can have. You can't change them at all unless you're willing get a new Pokémon. Natures Also Affect the Stats, Timid drops Attack and boost Speed. Many of Garchomps moves use the Attack stat, so this Gible isn't going to be the best choice for Battle Fronter/Battle Tower. Also Natures don't change unless you get another Pokemon.

Ok, so I'm looking for a Torkoal. I know I need to use the PokéRadar at Route 227/Stark Mountain, but I'm not familiar with the PokéRadar. Does anyone have any tips for me or is it just based on luck?

This page (http://www.serebii.net/itemdex/pokeradar.shtml) has a pretty good explanation. It's mostly based on luck, but there's also a visual indication of how rare a Pokemon you'll encounter.

[the ash man83]

Thanks. So I'm presuming Torkoal would count as a rare pokémon then?

[frootquake]

can anyone tell me what a good good bug type pokemon for pearl would be? thanks

Heracross is a good choice

Are the Elite Four and Champion's Pokémon actually EV trained? I ask because i'm doing a Wedlocke Challenge in Platinum, and there are a few opponents I want to be ready for in advance. My Gengar is Level 55 and has 172 Speed, and my Weavile has a -Speed nature but I have been giving her some Speed EVs (they're in different pairs), and i'm hoping they'll be faster than Lucian's Alakazam and Cynthia's Garchomp respectively. I tried watching MunchingOrange's videos, because I know his Weavile at Level 50 wasn't faster than Lucian's Alakazam, but at Level 55 it was faster than Cynthia's Garchomp, but I know he deposited his Weavile for most of the post-game, so I don't know his Speeds at those points.

In short, are the Elite Four EV trained? Thanks!

No, in fact, any Pokémon you face that is owned by an in-game trainer (other than those in the Battle Frontier) have no EVs at all.

so that means that battle frontier trainers have ev trained pokemon?

Yes they do.

Is this a good team to beat the Sinnoh league?

Farfetch'd ( rash)- Fly, Air slash, Aerial Ace, Night Slash/level 50
Carvanha (quirky)- Ice fang, Crunch, Wterfall, Surf/ level 53
Manectric (mild)- Discharge, Thunder fang, Flamethrower, Thunder/level 50
Arcanine ( Modest)-Extremespeed ( sucks, i know),Fire blast, thunder fang, Fire fang/level 52
Flygon ( mild) - Crunch, Earthquake,Faint attack, Dragon claw/ level 53

This is my current team. For the last place, i'll get a Heracross. I battle only with the pokémon i like and always ruin my EV's per accident

Specialties:
Farfetch'd-speed
Sharpedo-attack, speed
Manectric- sp. attack, speed
Arcanine-attack, special attack
Flygon- Attack, special defense

I know my defense is awfully bad, but they grew like they grew
If you want to know anything else, say that

[Zoruagible]

I think you should evolve Carvanha. Other than that it is a good team

[TanBun]

I really hate Sharpedo. But i will do.

[logwood]

I am look for a lax incense because I accidentally sold mine. I could trade a master ball because I am in need of one to complete the pokedex. I would trade for a wynaut too if possible.

i'm having some trouble with the migrating feature in 4th gen. I just picked up Ruby and leaf green, finished them and now i want to transfer some over to platinum-heart gold.

I have beaten the elite 4 on both 4th gen games, obtained the national dex and gone to the pal-park, All my games are north american. Still no migrate option in either of the main menus. Im at a loss.

I do apologize if this is posted in the wrong thread, this one seemed like the most likely. If anyone has any ideas as to why this is not working, It would be a great help.

Thanks

Call me crazy, but I'm actually looking into using a Pokemon like Lopunny in my ingame team. I've never really used this Pokemon before, I overlooked Bunearies as cuddly dolls that served no purpose whatsoever. Let's not forget the precious time wasted while attempting to evolve one! Is that true, or is there more to Lopunny? If so, please give me suggestions on how I could use her, thanks.

[Demon Kitsune Yoko Kurama]

Sadly, you can't catch a Lopunny in-game until Black 2 and White 2. :/
