questions Heart Gold/Soul Silver Help and Small Questions thread

[pandamonia]

Is there a list of all the Rock Climb locations somewhere?

[mewmart]

Oh any idea where to get the Good Rod? Seemed to have the opposite case as of Okami. By the way, are they any trading threads for Heartgold or Soulsilver?

[Guardna]

The good rod is given to you by a fisherman in the north house of Olivine city.

[IceMistress]

Ok, I'm halfway through playing SS (just beaten Morty at Ecruteak Gym).

Want to know what you think of my team? Not going to post moves because I haven't worked that out yet (still fine-tuning and stuff)... but... general opinions, please? x

Piloswine level 33*

Feraligatr level 31**

Ampharos level 32

Quilava level 31

Scizor level 32

Pupitar level 31*

*Denotes trade from Platinum

**Denotes trade from HG

Is this team good enough to complete the rest of the game, and defeat the Elite four? Cheers x

:biggrin:

You are way overleveled o_o

My team were around level 38ish when I was at Victory Road...

You should be set. The level curve in this game is much too low.

There is a house behind the Pokemon Center in Olivine City... the guy there gives you the Good Rod.

Great. Thanks wraith89! =D By the way, just out of curiosity, what should be the ideal levels of my Pokemon after I clear Jasmine before I move on to Mahogany Town?

[Faytgod]

Ok so ive tried to use the Secret ID code in pokesav but all it does is turn all my pokemon into hacked pokemon even tho they arnt by making it look like they ''aparently met''. and it turns my money to 0

10000086 00000000

00000088 00000000

D2000000 00000000

this is the code i use and uh i have pokemon soulsilver North america version.

[Okami]

Alright...so I am going to be training my Poochyena in Attack EVs soon. I have guides and everything, but I just wanted to know....once I accumulate the 252 EVs in Attack, can I move on to fighting pokemon that aren't like...Seaking/Gyarados? Or do I have to continue fighting these until I reach level 100? I'll be using the Protein vitamin to bring up the 100EVs in Attack so I've only got 152 to go, and getting Pokerus on it before moving it to Soul. Also, are the guides correct in telling me that the two aforementioned pokemon both give 2 attack EVs? I just want everything to be correct with training up this Poochyena. :]

EDIT: The bolded section is the only one I still need answered, I figured the rest out myself.

My question is about obtaining either Torchic, Mudkip, or Treeko. I've done what all the guides say but Steven never shows up at Silph co. I beat my rival at Mt. Moon, I double battled him against Lance and Clair, and i fought him in the pokemon league building on a Wednesday. Why won't Steven show up? (I gave the copycat girl back her Clefairy doll and Steven told me that Latios is now around, but he isn't at Silph)

Another question: When EV training a pokemon, is there anything to prevent you from making one stat 255, 2 others 100 each, one 30, and one 25?

You can move onto battling other pokemon. Once a pokemon has accumulated the EVs they won't be overwritten or anything like that. Only fight random pokemon if you don't care about the other EVs your pokemon has because they will gain other EVs from the non attack EV pokemon.

Is it possible to catch Ho-oh with a regular Pokeball?

I've been trying for the past 2 hours, using False Swipe and Thunder Wave.

Oh yeah, I hate it he just died from struggle. ._.

yeah its possible to catch it with a pokeball but its gonna take time to do it since your not using a stronger type of pokeball like i caught Rayquaza with a pokeball in my emerald after i frozed it once and threw one pokeball and i caught it so why not try freezing it first then false swipe it

Freezing is really based on luck; sleep is better since it's a little more reliable and it provides the same bonus.

well thats true but i wanted to let people know that sometimes doing different stats problem will work ^^

You'd need to defeat the Elite 4's second rosters... after defeating all 16 gym leaders and talking to Professor Oak the Elite 4 will get tougher. After you beat their second rosters Steven will be there and Professor Oak can give you the Kanto starters as well.

Erm, about your EV training question... there is NO specific way to EV train. It's just that a maximum in one stat can be 255, maximum altogether is 510. So you can have 85 in all stats if you wanted (it isn't optimal but just an example).

Yeah, but I heard that if you train one stat all the way up to 255 you lose out on 3 EVs, so a lot of people get two stats to 252 and one to 6. But is my breakdown possible?

[wraith89]

Oh that's what you mean. Every 4 EVs become 1 stat point... and since 255 is not divisible by 4, they go to 252, which is the maximum possible for a number divisible by 4.

I don't know why you would want your spread though, but as long as the total adds up to 510, then it is possible. Remember though, 508 is divisible by 4, 510 isn't, so 2 EVs are always "wasted".

Just a clarification, to get Steven and Oak to give you the different starters I think you must defeat Red, on top of Mt. Silver.

Yeah, you're right. It's after defeating Red. I think I rushed to fighting Red after the E4 so fast I didn't have time to think when.

[Amy Jane]

Thanks for the clarification.

[Regigigas]

It's between 3 and 4pm here, and Daisy won't give me a message. I got all Gym badges and beat Red. What do i do?

I tried switching the date and times, but it won't work.
