Skip The Elite Four

This worked with my friend but not with my game so be warned, it may not work. Anyway, here's the step by step way how to skip the elite four.

1. Go to the end of Victory Road and face the door. (stand right next to the door)

2. Use the move surf on that space and you'll be suddenly teleported under the ground.

3. Follow the path north until you see a purple rock. Walk up to the purple rock and press (A). You'll be instantly warped to the Champion's room with her stating that you have beaten her.

The amazing spirittomb

Hint by andy_s273 on June 12, 2007  |  report this hint

Most people dont know how to get this awsome pokemon that amazingly has no weakness ,but here's how its done:

Make sure you got the odd keystone, which can be obtaintainable by mining, which is very rare, or the man a little bit before the small crumble looking rock

now that you have it talk to the little rock figure and put it in by pressing A

Then go to the underground,(where you mine), and talk to 32 people! yeah its alot especaily if you dont have that many freinds with the game. but theres an easier way and it only involves 1 othere person. Have one person stsay underground and go in and out of the underground and talk to him 32 times

after that go back to the little stone and talk to i. you should herae a wierd pokemon cry.. then prepare to catch a level 25 spritomb you have a 50-50 chance of either male or female. save your game before hand and shoot for a femal to breed.

Hatch Egg Faster

Hint by crazyred86 on June 26, 2007  |  report this hint

This is How to Hatch an Egg Faster in pokemon pearl(maybe in diamond too... not really sure, but probablly):

If you have a Pokemon with the Magma Armor or Flame Body ability in your party then an egg will get hatteched in half of the time it would normally take without a pokemon in your party with the ability.

Tips on training Pokémon

Hint by tpofofn on July 06, 2007  |  report this hint

When you train your Pokémon, you can help its stats by remembering that its stats are affected by the Pokémon it battles against. If you battle exclusively against Pokémon with high speed like Ponyta and Pokémon with high special attack like Gastly, then your Pokémon will have a much higher speed and special attack than if you trained otherwise. This is helpful for Pokémon like Alakazam that like their stats to be focused in certain areas. An Alakazam usually only uses special attacks, and aims to hit hard and fast for quick kills. If you train against Ponyta and Gastly exclusively, you can achieve this much better than by fighting random Pokémon, which will make your stats a hodge-podge of things you don't need.

Passing on natures

Hint by tpofofn on July 13, 2007  |  report this hint

When you breed a Pokémon, normally the nature of the baby is random. However, if the female parent is holding an Everstone while it's in the Daycare, the baby will have a 50% chance of inheriting the female's nature. (If you're using a Ditto, the Ditto always counts as the female, even if the other one is female.) How does this help? Well, let's say you have a Modest Ditto. Pokémon with a Modest nature have decreased attack but increased special attack. If you were going to train, say, a Roserade, which has good special attack but very poor attack, you probably won't want to use physical moves anyway, so there is no drawback to a Modest nature. With a Modest Ditto, whenever you want a Modest Pokémon, just give it an Everstone, and you can breed anything you want with that nature.

pokemon in trees.

Hint by bobjoe69 on July 26, 2007  |  report this hint

If you find that you are looking for rare pokemon such as: Munchlax, Cherubi, or even Combee (there are alot more) then all you have to do is find a odd looking yellow tree and go up to it. It will ask you if you want to slather the bark with honey (assuming you have honey) and when you do you can leave and come back in a little while and the tree will be shaking. when you go up to it you will be in a battle with a rare pokemon. Have fun.

How to have a great team.

Hint by zora50 on September 10, 2007  |  report this hint

I have found that you need to pick guys you enjoy playing with. Not only good Pokemon. With guys you enjoy it will keep you playing but with guys you don't really enjoy you'll find that you haven't picked up the game in a few days then longer and longer. So when your making a team pick your faverites not the best.

Find out a Pokemons Nature in an egg before it hactches

Hint by Keep-It-Moving on December 10, 2007  |  report this hint

Take the egg in to the PC move pokemon box.

Place it in the box and hit the L button to go to the next box over. make sure when you hit R and L you are switching between the egg you want to find out the nature to and a random poke.

goto the random poke and you will see the box cycle through item, type, nature, ability, etc

Watch closely, you will have to hit R or L to switch to the egg you want to find out the nature to right before it switches from type, to nature.

If you do this correctly, you will be able to see the nature of the egg instead of the random pokes that you were justy on.
