2 questions, both for the D/P Nintendo DS game

1. Is there an easy way to make money pre-elite 4?

2. Do incences( eg: rock incence, rose incence, odd incence) do anything besides boost respective types or are they just like magnets, miracle seeds, blackglasses, etc?

1.Keep Battling trainers- There are 2 people near the Trophy Garden/Mansion who give a lot of money...Most Rich Boys and stuff give a lot of monet.

2. To breed Baby Pokemon

Not really, VS Seeker is the best but I think you get that afterwards. Try Pickup with something, Aipom is the only user without trading I think, or Pay Day if you have a LOT of time.

2. Do incences( eg: rock incence, rose incence, odd incence) do anything besides boost respective types or are they just like magnets, miracle seeds, blackglasses, etc?

I think they give the same boost as the the original boost items, but they can also be used to breed certain pokemon.

the incenses are just DPs version of the older items such as Amulet Coin.

Is Skarmory good with the following moveset
-Spikes
-Stealth Rock
-Roost
-Whirlwind
with Shed Shell attached? ( just the moveset, not EV's )
prolly Impish

 

[Irizz]

that's the standard minus Drill Peck... IMO you should still give it DPeck as you don't wanna be easy set-up fodder to Taunters

 

[.River]

That set dies to both Gyara and Tyran, even though it would anyway..

Brave Bird helps a lot against Alakazam and stuff (1KO after Stealth Rock)

 

[mingoo1109]

Ouch I kinda want SR/Spikes together on one pokemon =/ Any good spiker + SRer then? OR should I take off Roostor Whirlwind for BB or DPeck

Im thinking of making a team with Skarmory/Special Wall (maybe Blissey)/Dusknoir/Weavile/Gardevoir/Filler

what should the last one be

 

[Irizz]

Forretress is the best multi-spiker in the game IMO. rapid spin is also nice, Cloyster also does well.

 

[mingoo1109]

Forretress? SR /Spikes/Rapid Spin/what should the last one be?

 

[Irizz]

either TSpikes or Explosion or Gyro Ball really your choice

 

[mingoo1109]

ooh ty ty

 

[Kumar]

I would say explosion or gyro ball. Having no attack on your pokemon is really dumb.

 

[mingoo1109]

How would I spread the EV's? I'm not really sure =/

Well, it's hard to judge without knowing the rest of your team, but Gyarados is much more useful in OU than Scyther is (although I love that fucking mantis myself).

 

[trader]

its actually a bl uu team and i dont realy want more than one ou on it and i got that in magnezone

Then I think you've answered your own answer here.
Go with Scyther, or consider something cool like Mantine ^__^

Just caught a 8/12/31/28/30/19 Mild Heatran. Is it usable?

 

[The_Rider]

IVs wise it is usable but I prefer a modest or Timid one as you won't be using atk anyway(usually)

got to the "look what I breed" thread

EDIT: I'd keep it for an exploding ran. Now go rate my hippopotas on the look what I bred thread since I did yours

 

[dt~]

Just posted it here because it gets more replies and hell, it's a question.

I (re)searched a little and realized 19 spd IV, 252 spd and Choice Scarf ties it with +spd nature base 115. Good enough?

EDIT: This means the Heatran would

-be beaten by Dugtrio, Alakazam, Sceptile. (considering 31spd IV, +spd nature and min 212 EVs)
-tie with Starmie, Raikou, Floatzel, Ambipom, Azelf. (considering 31spd IV, +spd nature and 252 EVs)
-beat Gengar, Tauros, Jumpluff, Infernape, 'Chomp, 'Zard, Zapdos, and so on...

Sceptile can't really hurt it... Alakazam can, with Focus Blast. Duggy is rarely used nowadays.
Tieing with max speed Starmie and Azelf is a shame, although I don't see alot of them running 31spd IV, 252spd EVs and +spd nature.
And yay, it beats Gengar, Infernape, Chomp and Zappy :D

Is it good enough?

 

[Great Sage]

At least go for 362 after a Scarf; 361 is a very important breakpoint. You certainly don't want to be tying with Raikou, Starmie, and Azelf. 379 also outspeeds the base 120 bracket, which contains Dugtrio, Alakazam, and Sceptile.

 

[dt~]

Damnit. Thanks. That means I should aim for either 27+ or 20+ on speed, right?

 

[gec]

Yes, thats good

What color are Shellos if they are hatched?
