In platinum, how do you pay for the move tutors? Are they one time only use?

Master Aqua · #3 10-24-2008, 09:11 AM

It depends on what the point of substitute is.

If you want say, the maximum amount of HP on a sub, you should be divisible by 4 to get the most of your HP in there at once.

Let's say you want to Sub and then Belly Drum and have your Salac actually activate? It only activates when you hit 25% exactly or less, so you need to have it divisible by 4 or you'll have slightly higher than 25% after a sub and drum and your berry won't activate.

What if you have a Ninjask and want to be able to sub 4 times to get the most speed boosts? If your HP is divisible by 4 it will fail after the third time. On the other hand your berry (if you're using one) will activate sooner if you are divisible by four.

Don't care about any of these and just want to block status? Well then, doesn't matter in the slightest.

In platinum, has the sinnoh underground changed at all?
Can it still connect with D/P?

Master Aqua · #9 10-26-2008, 11:50 PM

I belive the sinnoh underground has gone wi fi but I can not confirm or deny it...

After reading up on serebii, i learnt that yes it can conect to D/P.

k_pop · #10 10-29-2008, 03:55 AM

I certainly hope it has gone wifi. It's hard to meet someone in the underground when you can't get in the same room with others who have the game very often.

Master Aqua · #11 10-31-2008, 09:47 AM

Yes it will make it easier to get spirtomb!

Tasteless · #12 10-31-2008, 07:10 PM

You don't actually need whatever amount of people though. You can just come back up and go under again and talk to the same person and it counts as meeting someone new.

Or go into a secret base then come back out of it. And then talk to the same person. :P

I heard hypnosis accuracy has dropped down to 60% again.

So if this is true, whats the accuracy when Platinum versus D/P?

I think it's 60 from platinum and 70 comming from diamond and pearl.

shaymin appears as land foorm but sustians his satusess when versing him through diamond in pearl so I think something similar is true.
