Diamond/Pearl/Platinum Help Thread [UBER EDITION] [READ THE FIRST POST]

Leaving and re-entering the underground might be quicker than entering your secret base and exiting. Either one works though.

[darksteel460]

Still don't get the underground thing. Don't get that spiritomb either, I used that key and nothing happens.

they helped you in spirtomb and you get fossils by getting the explore kit which you get from the elder man next to the pokemon center in eterna and you use it and you enter the underground in which you dig where there are glitters in the wall the aboce on the top screen can help you and eventually while your digging for spheres fossils will be there but it may take a short time for them to show up but youll know its on ewhne you see it

Okay, I also have a question :

I know you are able to clone pokémon in diamond/pearl using wifi. But does this work also in platinum/HG/SS?

They made it impossible in Platinum, and since they used Platinum as the base for HeartGold and Soul Silver, I expect that it's not going to Work in Johto.

I thought some people have still done it, it was just a little more difficult than D/P.

If I were to use a Pokémon with Run Away and encountered something with Arena Trap, would I be able to escape?

yes you would, it only prevents you from running away from trainer battles, and for whatever reason, it doesnt work in the battle pyramid in emerald either

So my brother borrowed an Action Replay from his friend and used it on his pokemon platinum. He used a code that gives the national dex, then used a code to give him the flower for Shaymin, then used a code to erase the national dex that the previous code gave him so oak could give him the regular national dex. After all of this his wi-fi stopped working properly. I've taken a look around and he can still connect to the wi-fi plaza and the battle records in the world trade center, but he cannot trade pokemon in the trade center or between games at all. He also can't participate in digging up treasures in the underground.

We've got the WEP connected and it works fine on both my games and his other games. It was working before, but now it won't.

If this is not the correct place for this question if you wouldn't mind directing me to the place where it's appropriate. Not sure if this would be a matter for nintendo either. Thought I would see if anyone has experienced an issue like this before. Thanks.

The best option would be to restart the game to clear off any AR changes. Other than that, I think thats it.

i am trying to get a growlithe in diamond and supposably i can catch in in route 201 if i have fire red in the GBA slot . I have done 20 battles in 201 and have been unable to find it. is there some sort of trick i have to use to make diamond recognise i have fire red in GBA slot? (i havent finished the pokemon leuge either so if you have to have done that please tell me)

(sorry if this has been asked before but i dont want to sift through 80 pages of help questions looking for it)

[MePhiZToPheLeS]

How exactly do the Munchlax honey trees work? I know one only has a 1% of getting a munchlax, but is it in every tree or just some trees as I've been hearing lately? Is there a way to know which trees?

[MePhiZToPheLeS]

Sorry about triple post. I hate my inet -_-

You have to defeat the Elite Four before you can get a Growlithe, because Growlithe isn't in the Sinnoh Pokedex.
The only way to get one before the E4 is trading.

Only 4 trees depending on your SID.

You can find the different trees on Psypokes if I remember correctly.

I am trying to get a powerful Magnezone with good IV's and a good nature. But since I can't breed Magnemite, how do I get a Magnemite with good IV's etc. ?

[Noctourniquet]

^ Breed with a Ditto.

[fyzdino]

But I read in a book that Magnemite can't breed. Ah well, I'll give it a try anyways, thanks for the help!

[Noctourniquet]

^ That was most likely a game guide. They are generally badly written and full of rubbish, tbh. I assure you, Magnemite can Ditto can breed.

I already reached 999:59 hours on my Platinum card and, reaching it, the time counter stopped. Is this common?

Yes, the clock won't go any further then 999:59.
