Pokemon Platinum

There is no specific way to get it. You just keep battling. Then, if you're lucky, Nurse Joy will say one of your Pokemon has it. Then you can spread it to your other Pokemon. But it only lasts until midnight, then it gets cured. The only difference between being infected and cured is that it can only be spread when infected. You still gain double EV's when it's cured. But to keep it infected, jut put it in your PC. But it's really all about luck.

 

So..just battle and battle with a specific pokemon..and luck will get ya.....POKERUS!

Wait a minute.Bidoof's give HP EV's right?I'm busy EV training my Starapter.

 

Yeah. Bidoof's give one HP EV

 

And Bibarrel?If I spelled that right.Don't they give attack EV's?Or was tta SP Attack?

 

I can't remember. But the Serebii.net Pokedex has the EV's each Pokemon gives. You can also search for Pokemon that give EV's to a certain stat.

 

Well I'll check later.Thanks.

 

No problem.

 

Can someone explain to me how these Effort Values (EV) and Individual Values (IV) work, exactly?

I don't really get it, sorry. :P​

 

The E4 is pretty easy, actually. The first 3 Elite's are all week against Fire, Grass and Water (respectively). It's the last two, Lucian and Cynthia to look out for.

 

IV's are what determine your Pokemon's stats before you start raising it. There is an IV for each stat, ranging from 0-31. Each IV gives your Pokemon 1 more point for the stat. Also, a Pokemon's IV's determine it's Hidden Power and how strong it will be. For info on EV's, go here. If you want to learn a bit more about IV's and Natures, and how to get what nature you want, go here.

Yeah. In Pearl, it was easy to get past the first three, it's the last two that always got me. And I was so underleveled and refused to train for some reason, so it took me about a month to beat them.

Update time!
Alright, I made it there and switched out my team to the one I've been using up until now. I thought I'd just get the guy out of the way, forgetting your rival challenges you when you get near him. He wiped the floor with me. So then I stocked up on items and trained in Victory Road. It took most of the night, but I had trained them all to lvl 60. Then I got revenge on my rival, and blew past the Elite 4. The only one who really gave me trouble was Cynthia, but she was still no match for me. I actually fought her lvl 60 Lucario, with my lvl 60 Lucario. Mine was faster, so I KOed it with just one Aura Sphere while I was low on health. But I beat her and became the champ. Then I went to the Battle Zone and did the double battle against Flint and Volkner with my rival. I'm currently just roaming the Battle Frontier, trying things out. I was able to get a 23 win streak with my Lucario at the Battle Hall on my first try. My team is now as follows:
lv60 Luxray
lv60 Staraptor
lv61 Lucario
lv61 Rapidash
lv61 Torterra-Twiggy
lv62 Floatzel.
However, I still need to complete the Sinnoh Dex to get the National Dex.

 

I got a 37 win-streak with my level....87 (I think) Infernape on my first try. xD

I was killed by, uh...something with Earthquake I believe.

What Pokemon do you need to see?

EDIT: Oh, thanks.​

 

Hey, on this game, when you go battle a the frontier do the pokemon you see there show up on your pokedex?

 

No, and I think it is stupid.​

 

I don't know yet. But it shouldn't be too hard. I can always check Serebii.net's Pokearth and see what trainers have what Pokemon and where. But I do know I still need to see Uxie and Azelf. I already saw Mesprit and had it run off, but I didn't chase after it. But I like how even though you don't actually see Dialga and Palkia, they get automatically registered as seen.

 

You can tell me the numbers you are missing, I can look in my guide. If you want. :P​

 

Nah, it's fine. I'd rather do it myself.

 

Okay, just trying to help. : D​

 

I appreciate that. But I'm the kind of guy who likes to figure things out myself.

 

has anybody heard anything about any events for shaymin,darkrai,and arceus?i know they have had some of those events in japan already.i was just wondering if there going to be any in the usa soon?

 

There was a Toys R Us event for Shaymin back in February that unlocks the Gracedia Flower in Platinum for Sky Forme, but you missed it. There have been several Darkrai events, including a Ranger 2 mission that would allow you to transfer a Darkrai over, but you missed those as well. In Japan there will be a event for Oak's Letter in Platinum and for the 12th movie there will be an Arceus event, but those won't be here for a long while.
