My nieces deleted the move Crunch from my Tyranitar. Is there a way to get it back or have it learn it again?

I'm planning to sell all of my games from before Diamond and Perl versions (anything other than the DS games) and I just wanted to double check-

The only things you need the advance games for is for 1. Pal Park or 2. Insertion. Right? You don't need them for swarms or poke-radar, right? I REALLY don't want to sell these games and then find out that I needed one of them because the radar or swarms needed the dual slot system.

If you haven't already sold your games then I must tell you that some pokemon in DPPt are only available via those games as Insertion pokemon meaning you need the GBA pokemon games inserted in your DS while playing the DS pokemon games to encounter them in the DS games at all...some examples are leafgreen firered sapphire ruby & emerald & also the move Volt Tackle can only be gotten from Emerald so...if you have all of them in your DS games then sell away but if not... yeah...

Cool, thanks. No I haven't yet. Does the site list ALL of the pokemon you need to get from those games (weather it be insertion or pal park) so I can run through the list and check them off? If they were all in one spot, that'd be great, if not, I'll gust wait and bake sure I got a relative of each.

I realize this may be a stupid question, but if you use Thief and your opponent has an item will it take the item on the first shot?

I don't believe Thief can fail. However, depending on the type of battle the stolen item may or may not be retained after the battle ends.

I can't seem to find an FAQ-ish type page for Platinum that explains this and the search is useless for the info I want so I hope this hasn't been asked.

Q: How do I 'unlearn' an HM attack? or How do I Forget an HM to learn a new level-up move?

Explanation: I gave my Turtwig "Rock Smash" from HM6 as it was better than tackle or whatever he had before. Now I have the great move "Razor Leaf" and don't need "RS".
- As I was leveling up he tried to learn "Curse" and I want to learn this and give up "RS" as I can't bear to give up my current moves "Withdraw" / "Absorb" / "Razor Leaf" so I just turned off my Gameboy and started leveling other pokemon.
- I know Curse on a non-ghost type will lower his speed and raise his att / def making keeping "Withdraw" redundant but I like to have option that don't lower stats in favor of others.

Also, I have a question.

Can anybody explain to me in the simplest of terms how to get a certain type hidden power? I tried reading on Bulbapedia, but it involves EV's and IV's, which I also don't understand.

I'm pretty sure damage is inflicted from an equation that makes having more HPs irrelivent, no?

In short, what is the point of HP EV training on pokemon with low defense & special defense stats?

Damage is calculated as a integer value, not a percentage. Having more HP increases the amount of damage you can take.


It is true that you may be able to get more defensive benefit by raising defense EVs as opposed to HP EVs on some pokemon. On the other hand, pokemon like Dusknoir and Shuckle need HP EVs more than Def because of their relatively low HP. For more detailed information on the calculations, look here.

hey any one give me a cod efor munchlax

though I knew having more HPs increased the amount of damage the pokemon takes from attack

Not true.
