    Found a Heracross, SRing for a female but having no luck. Can I SR for the gender or is it set when the Pokémon is generated?

    Go to the Virbank Complex, catch a Magnemite, then trade it on the GTS for another Magnemite. Rinse and repeat
    Skeptical?
    Take at look at what the most traded pokemon on the GTS is....

    It's set when the Pokemon is generated. On a positive note, Heracross doesn't really need any egg moves.

    Currently SR'ing for females :l
    Quick question, while doing a funfest mission can you go in any hidden grotto to get Glameow/Stunky? And is it a specific mission?

    How is it that? It should be 1%. When you go into a Hidden Grotto for the first time, there will be something there.

    Doesn't mean you're going to find a pokemon. Don't forget, your odds of finding an item are much higher.

    Oh well. At least I got lucky in that it was the first time I checked that Grotto. 0.25%! Not having any luck on a decent nature and IVs though.

    Are you sure about this? It's 80% to get an item and 20% to get a Pokémon. However I don't think Ditto's chance is 1% of that 20% rather 1% overall. http://www.serebii.net/black2white2/hiddenhollow.shtml The Pokémon's percentages add up to 20%. If it was 1% of the 20% the Pokémon percentages would add up to 100%. So I don't think the numbers show the chance of getting a specific Pokémon once the Grotto has decided it it will have Pokémon, because then Ditto should be 5%. Does this make sense?

    Got a Drifloon a few days back, eventually I'll get around to torturing it(That's what it gets for having an ability that only works if you're Burned).

    I also found a Tangela, I wasn't on planning on getting one but I decided I would. Haven't caught it yet though, waiting for the Nature I want.

    Still looking for:
    Nidoran♀
    Nidoran♂
    Woobat
    Cubchoo
    Muk
    Garbodor
    Kingler
    Dragonite
    Mienfoo
    Gligar
    Breloom
    Poliwhirl
    Vulpix
    Pinsir

    Plus thinking about getting Pelipper, maybe Golduck, and probably get Seviper if I run into one again, don't really care for either of it's abilities but I want to use Seviper anyways, thinking about using two. I also decided not to get Venonat.

    What are the best ones to find? I'm looking for vulpix and bagon, but are there any that are worth the hunt?

    Well I found a Pinsir in Black 2 when I wanted Heracross. Not sure whether to be impressed or RNG is trolling me.

    I don't know if I'm just extremely unlucky or something, but it seems like the chances of a Pokemon appearing in a hidden grotto are much lower if you're on the same route as the grotto when something appears in it.

    I've been running around outside of the Route 22 grotto, trying to get a Mienfoo, but got about 10 items in a row, even with the grotto power active. Now I'm getting consecutive Pokemon after moving out of the route to do my running.

    It's Toxic Boost!

    I don't think getting the Pokemon you want would be too hard. Took me a few minutes to get a DW Ditto to appear in the Giant Chasm area. 200 something steps is not too hard to get, and you can pretty much control which Hidden Hollow (used to this name more) generates a Pokemon.

    However, no WiFi, so don't ask for trades/battles/anything WiFi related.

    How are you in any way able to control which Hidden Grotto generates a Pokemon? To my knowledge, there is a 5% chance for each Grotto to respawn upon 256 steps(If it doesn't respawn then you'll have to take another 256 steps), I believe there is a pass power to help increase the chance of something appearing, which I don't think applies to only Pokemon anyways. But I don't see how any of that gives you any power in which Grotto gives you what, it all comes down to luck. There are going to be people who get what they want on the first go, there's going to be people who are at it for days.

    EV and Nature are two very different things

    by the way, you CAN soft reset for Nature. I suggest you to save before capturing next time you get a Pokemon in a grotto, you might not going to be that lucky again.
