is this good for dragonite? Earthquake(for rock types) Thunderbolt/ice beam Flamethrower(for ice types) and Dragon claw/pulse

[Arande]

Haven't really dabbled with mixed sets too often. Personally I love extreme speed on my 'nite.

[Boomguy]

How can I check for IVs without the IV battle? I need to do this for the sake of Hidden Power type and damage

[JeremyK]

Glitchmaster that happened to a friend of mine.
we worked out that what activates the event is a small bit of dialog between and few kids when you first go to the shrine, have you seen that?

So wait, say i have a mischevious piplup (SA) and a ditto alert to sounds (speed). I give them the respective items and breed them. will the piplups NOT have both SA and speed on a consistent basis as before?

Yes, that is true.

By giving one of the two Pokemon their respective Power Item, and the other an Everstone (to pass down a wanted Nature), you will have just as much of a chance of passing down both the Sp. Attack IVs and Speed IVs that you would have when both Pokemon were holding their respective Power Item. It's redundant to have both, really.

When your Ditto with a Power Anklet and your Piplup with a Power Lens breed, there is a 50% chance that either one perfect IV gets passed down. The other IV relies on a different probability.

I need help. I got Pokemon Black the day it came out, so I already beat it. I am trying to get Landorus but it doesn't work. Tornadus and Thundurus were both in my party. So when ever I go up to it with both Tornadus and Thundurus it just says: "It's a small weathered shrine." and nothing happens. I tried only bringing them 2 but you need surf and watterfall. So, I just brang Tornadus, Thundurus, and my Polliwhirl. I also read it was region locked, so I went to the GTS and traded my Japanese Thundurus for a American one. And the Results came out the same...

[Excitable Boy]

How the hell would you get there, then? Neither of those learn Surf or Waterfall.

Think before you make up answers.

Does the Tornadus you're using have your OT?

They can fly=) and one of them has to be yours, so both cant be from another trainer or another game that u have. so i think u got somebody elses thundurus on the gts, so thats not yours... so maybe thats it

[Rakurai]

I presume the Tornadus was the one you personally caught in your game?

Make sure that the Thundurus you got from the GTS is legit, also.

[Excitable Boy]

They can fly=) and yes one of them has to be yours, so both cant be from another trainer or another game that u have

You can't Fly to the Abundant Shrine.

I had the same problem. I captured my tornadus in my pokemon black and got a japanese thunderus by trade. I brought it to the shrine but nothing happend. You probably need a Tornadus and a Thunderus from the same country.

[Hydrohs]

You probably need a Tornadus and a Thunderus from the same country.

I believe he said he'd tried that.

[Poke_Mania97]

I believe he said he'd tried that.

yer but i think he traded HIS kami exclusive pokemon, cause he said he traded his japanese one for an american...

and how do i get a star rating on random matchups?

[Hydrohs]

yer but i think he traded HIS kami exclusive pokemon, cause he said he traded his japanese one for an american...

Yes because his Tornadus is probably American as well. Which would then make both Pokemon American.

[GrayLugia]

Never mind.

Can anyone answer this? I'd like to know too. I can't seem to find an option that sets Pokemon to Lv100 like in 4th Gen.

There are no level 100 battles any more.
