Contact Moves [ctmov]=================These moves are classified as contact moves; that is, certain things may happendue to your Pokemon coming in contact with the foe, or touching them in someway.The following Abilities are affected by contact moves:o------------o--------------o------------o--------------o------------o--------o| Cute Charm | Effect Spore | Flame Body | Poison Point | Rough Skin | Static |o------------o--------------o------------o--------------o------------o--------oCONTACT MOVE LIST----------------- o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Aerial Ace Drill Peck Leaf Blade Rollout | | Ancientpower Dynamicpunch Leech Life Scratch | | Arm Thrust Endeavor Lick Seismic Toss | | Astonish Extremespeed Low Kick Shadow Punch | | Bide Facade Mach Punch Skull Bash | | Bind False Swipe Mega Kick Sky Uppercut | | Bite Fire Punch Mega Punch Slam | | Blaze Kick Flail Megahorn Slash | | Body Slam Fly Metal Claw Smellingsalt | | Bounce Focus Punch Meteor Mash Spark | | Clamp Frustration Needle Arm Steel Wing | | Constrict Fury Attack Outrage Stomp | | Counter Fury Cutter Overheat Strength | | Crabhammer Fury Swipes Peck Submission | | Cross Chop Future Sight Petal Dance Superpower | | Crunch Guillotine Poison Fang Tackle | | Crush Claw Headbutt Poison Tail Take Down | | Cut Hi Jump Kick Pound Thief | | Dig Horn Attack Pursuit Thrash | | Dive Horn Drill Quick Attack Thunderpunch | | Dizzy Punch Ice Ball Rage Tickle | | Double Kick Ice Punch Rapid Spin Vicegrip | | Double-Edge Iron Tail Return Vital Throw | | Doubleslap Jump Kick Revenge Waterfall | | Dragon Claw Karate Chop Reversal Wing Attack | | Drill Peck Knock Off Rock Smash Wrap | o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o=======================2d.

It's helpful to know which | Heal Bell| moves fall into this category, so I've taken | Howl| the liberty of composing this list of moves. | Hyper Voice| Each attack listed to the right is sound-based | Metal Sound| and will fail if used on a Pokemon that sports | Perish Song| the Soundproof Ability. Although no Pokemon so | Roar| far can naturally have the Cacophony Ability, | Screech| it works just like Soundproof. If none of the | Sing| blocked moves are different, why did they | Snore| exclude it?

Special Conditions [mjsts]======================Taken from the Pokemon TCG, I use the term "Special Condition" to refer tomajor status effects. These can only be inflicted one at a time.BRN - Burn. Attack stat is cut in half. Damaged by 1/8 max HP between turns. Go to a Pokemon Center or use a Rawst Berry, Lum Berry, Burn Heal, Full Heal, or Full Restore to cure this condition.FNT - Faint. Cannot be used in battle. Go to a Pokemon Center or use a Revive, Rare Candy (at Lv.99 or lower), Revival Herb, or Max Revive to cure this condition.*FRZ - Freeze. Cannot attack. If Flamethrower or Fire Blast is used on the Frozen Pokemon, said Pokemon will defrost. Also, if said Pokemon uses Flame Wheel or Sacred Fire, user will also defrost. May defrost after a random number of turns. Go to a Pokemon Center or use an Aspear Berry, Lum Berry, Ice Heal, Full Heal, or Full Restore to cure this condition.PAR - Paralyze. Speed is cut by 75%, 20% chance per turn of being immobilized. Have the move Smellingsalt used on you, go to a Pokemon Center, or use a Cheri Berry, Lum Berry, Parlyz Heal, Full Heal, or Full Restore to cure this condition.PSN - Poison. HP will drop by 1/16 between turns. The exception to this is if the PSN status is inflicted by the use of Toxic or Poison Fang, in which case poison damage begins at 1/16 max HP and increases between turns. Outside of battle, each Pokemon inflicted with the PSN status will lose 1 HP for every four steps taken by the Trainer, regardless of how the status was inflicted. Go to a Pokemon Center, or use a Pecha Berry, Lum Berry, Full Heal, Full Restore, or an Antidote to cure this condition.SLP - Sleep. Cannot attack unless Sleep Talk or Snore is used. Will wear off in battle after a random amount of turns. If the SLP status is inflicted by use of Rest, it will wear off in two turns (one if the Pokemon has the Early Bird Ability). Go to a Pokemon Center, or use a Blue Flute, Chesto Berry, Lum Berry, Full Heal, Poke Flute, Full Restore, or an Awakening to cure this condition.* - While FNT can be considered a Special Condition, when I tell you to inflicta Special Condition (like for catching legendaries), I do not mean to inflictthe FNT status, even though a few moves do just that (Horn Drill, for example).=======================2f. Evil Status Effects [mnsts]=======================These status effects are evil because there's no limit to how many you can puton a Pokemon. To cure the evil status effects, simply switch out... if you can.They have no abbreviations, but the list goes like this:1. Attract. The foe of the opposite gender falls in love with the user. As a result, they have a 50% chance of not attacking. Don't want to hurt the ones you love, right? Use the move Attract to obtain this effect. Wears off when the user of Attract is recalled. Can also be cured by use of Mental Herb or Red Flute.2. Confuse. The foe becomes more confused than a hungry baby at a topless club, which means there's a 50% that the foe will hurt itself. Use Swagger, Flatter, Confuse Ray, Supersonic, Confusion, Psybeam, or Water Pulse to inflict this effect. Will wear off after a random amount of turns. You may also use a Yellow Flute, Persim Berry, Lum Berry, Full Heal, or Full Restore to cure this condition. Note that you can also confuse yourself by using Petal Dance, Outrage, or Thrash.3. Curse. The foe is afflicted by a vicious curse that takes 1/4 of a foe's max HP between turns at a one-time cost of 50% the user's max HP. Have a Ghost-type use the move Curse to obtain this effect.4. Disable. The foe's last successfully performed move is disabled, preventing its use for a random number of turns. Use the move Disable to obtain this effect. Only one move can be Disabled per Pokemon at any given time.5. Encore. The last move the foe used will be repeated over 2-6 turns. Use the move Encore to obtain this effect.6. Flinch. This effect can only be seen if the Pokemon trying to obtain this effect is faster than its foe. The foe will retract in fear for one turn, preventing them from attacking. Equip a Pokemon with a King's Rock item or use Astonish, Bite, Extrasensory, Fake Out (your Pokemon's first turn only), Headbutt, Hyper Fang, Needle Arm, Rock Slide, Sky Attack, Secret Power inside a cave, Snore, Stomp, or Twister to obtain this effect.7. Imprison. The foe can no longer use moves the user knows. Use Imprison to obtain this effect.8. Haunted. Sleeping Pokemon are tormented by a frightening nightmare that will take 1/4 their max HP away between turns as long as they sleep. Use Nightmare on a Pokemon inflicted with SLP to obtain this effect.9. Seeded. Seeds are planted on the foe's body, sucking their life away at a rate of 1/16 the foe's max HP between turns. Note that Grass- types cannot be seeded. Use Leech Seed to obtain this effect.10. Taunted. The foe becomes enraged, and in their blind fury can only use moves that cause direct damage for two turns. Use Taunt to obtain this effect.11. Tormented. The Pokemon cannot use the same move twice in a row. Use the move Torment to obtain this effect.12. Trapped. The Pokemon cannot escape battle. Most will wear off between 3-5 turns after use. Have either the Arena Trap* or Shadow Tag Ability, be a Metal-type against a Pokemon with the Magnet Pull Ability, or use Bind, Fire Spin, Ingrain, Mean Look, Sand Tomb, Spider Web, Whirlpool, or Wrap to obtain this effect. * Flying-types, as well as those with the Levitate and Run Away Abilities, are not affected by Arena Trap.=================2g.

Frequently Asked Questions [dafaq]==============================Question: WHICH ONE IS THE BEST STARTER? Answer: Torchic was very popular in Ruby & Sapphire because of its ability to sweep the entire Elite Four. Well, the Elite Four's been changed around a little in Emerald, and so where Torchic shined most, she now fails at life. To that extent, Treecko would serve better. It fares pretty well against the Elite Four, but if you don't choose Treecko, that means you're stuck with Torkoal (ew), Magcargo (double ew), and Ninetales for Fire-types... unless you've got Colosseum.Question: WHAT DOES POKEMON COLOSSEUM HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING? Answer: Colosseum has no trading restrictions. Once a Colosseum file has cleared Story Mode, that file can trade with Emerald. Under normal circumstances, Emerald could only trade with Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald until the Emerald player entered the Hall of Fame and received the National Pokedex. Let's say you have a Furret in LeafGreen you want to raise in Emerald. You have no Badges in Emerald, so you can't trade directly between Emerald and LeafGreen. But wait! If you trade Furret into Colosseum from LeafGreen, you will be able to put it into Emerald, as long as it comes directly from Colosseum! How cool is that?Question: HOW DO I GET JIRACHI AND DEOXYS? Answer: You can get Jirachi by using the bonus disc that came with the English version of Pokemon Colosseum. To get Deoxys, you'll have to trade it from FireRed or LeafGreen.Question: HOW DO I GET TO SOUTHERN ISLAND? Answer: Did you ever do it for your copy of Ruby & Sapphire? The same thing applies for Emerald, but what I said was totally off. Apparently, all you have to do is mix records with a Ruby or Sapphire cartridge that has the Eon Ticket in it, and it should appear in your game. Take this ticket to Slateport City's Harbor and talk to the lady in front of the ferry. She'll introduce you to a sailor who will tell you a little about nothing, and then take you there. Upon arriving, you'll notice that the outside is just trees, except for one sign that reads: "Those whose memories fade seek to carve them in their hearts..." Anyway, the real reason you're here is what's inside. Walk inside, and you'll encounter a weird object. What is it? Some say it's an egg, others say it's a stone. Nobody really knows for sure. Save before examining the stone. Once you do, Latios or Latias will appear. The one that appears depends on the color you told your mother. The color you didn't choose determines what dragon is here. If you told your mom a red thing was flying around, Latios will be here. A blue thing flying around means Latias. Each of them are Lv.50, and he/she carries the Soul Dew item, which increases his/her Special Attack and Special Defense. This is the ONLY opportunity you have to catch the other one because you can only examine the stone once, so just reset if you kill him/her.Question: HOW DO I GET MEW? Answer: Mew is found on "World's Edge Island," and you need some sort of Old Sea Chart item to get there. I know nothing of this place, don't ask me about it.Question: CAN YOU RATE MY TEAM? Answer: I don't rate teams, sorry.Question: PLEASE SUPPLY ME WITH CODES FOR THIS GAME. Answer: No. I'd ask you not to e-mail me asking for codes, but I'm sure some yutz is going to anyway, so I will. **** DO NOT E-MAIL ME ASKING FOR CODES, I WILL NOT GIVE YOU ANY. ****Question: WHAT IS ITEM FARMING? Answer: Item farming is quite simple. All you need to do is carry five or six Pokemon on your team that have the Pickup Ability, then do some fights. The idea is that with so many Pokemon who have Pickup, one or more of them will have an item when the battle ends. These items can then be dequipped and sold for quick, easy cash. In Ruby & Sapphire, this was easy. Nuggets were a fairly common item to be found on Zigzagoon (earliest Pokemon with Pickup). They changed it in Emerald, though. Normally, one would walk around with a few Lv.3 Zigzagoon and start raking in the items. Now, if you want the good items, you're going to have to start raising those Pokemon that can Pickup. And I mean a lot. I had a Lv.49 Teddiursa that started bringing me Rare Candies, but then started to get lame by bringing home X Attack and Repel. Ew. The best items are, of course, brought by Lv.91-100 Pokemon. Have fun.Question: WHAT POKEMON HAVE THE PICKUP ABILITY? Answer: Zigzagoon, Linoone, Phanpy, Meowth, Aipom, and Teddiursa.Question: IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS GOOD, WHERE IS FEEBAS? Answer: Ok, good news/bad news time. The good news: It's only on one route, which makes it easier to find. The bad news? It's on Route 119. Have you ever actually taken the time to walk through it? It takes quite a while, and there's lots of water to search. You'll have to search each and every square of water if you want to find Feebas. When you fish, you may want to fish around 4 or 5 times in each square before moving on. Magikarp and Feebas CAN and WILL appear on the same tile, along with Tentacool and Carvanha. I would estimate that the chances of finding a Feebas are 40-60%, assuming the given square actually supplies a Feebas.Question: HOORAY, FEEBAS I HAVE. WHAT PURPOSE DOES IT SERVE? Answer: Feebas is like Magikarp that it evolves from a sucky creature into a powerful one. Feebas, unlike Magikarp, can actually learn techniques. This is mainly because Feebas is a lot harder to evolve. Use the 31-35 berries (whichever makes Dry and something else) and make PokeBlocks like whoa. Feebas requires 170 Beauty points to evolve. You can't tell by yourself, but the Dry+ berry is best. Only three or four should be needed. Once you think Feebas has 170 Beauty, level it up. If it doesn't evolve, you still need to feed it more. If it won't eat, you screwed up somewhere, and you need to start over with a brand new Feebas. I suggest breeding. Milotic, Feebas' evolution, is pretty solid as a Water-type. It learns Mirror Coat and Recover, which is always nice. It also has a respectable Special Defense stat, which means it can survive a couple weakness hits.Question: WHERE IS THE NAME RATER? Answer: Slateport City, in the building to the left of the Pokemon Center.Question: WHERE IS THE MOVE DELETER? Answer: Lilycove City, in the house to the right of the Department Store.Question: WHERE IS THE MOVE TUTOR, THE ONE THAT KNOWS EVERYTHING? Answer: Fallarbor Town, west of the Battle Tent.Question: I NEED THE _____ ROD, WHERE IS IT? Answer: Old Rod - Dewford Town. Good Rod - Fisherman east of Mauville, just after the water. Super Rod - Mossdeep City.Question: WHERE CAN I GET A BAGON? Answer: Bagon is in Meteor Falls. You need Waterfall to reach her, and she only appears in the spot where you get TM02, Dragon Claw.Question: I NEED THE DIG TM! WHERE CAN I GET ONE? Answer: Nowhere. There's only one Dig TM in the entire game. Now hold on a second. Don't hang yourself just yet. There IS hope, if you've got patience. There are only two Pokemon in Emerald that can naturally learn Dig: Trapinch and Nincada. They learn Dig at Levels 41 and 45, respectively. Don't e-mail asking me if I possibly missed one, those two are it as far as Hoenn is concerned. However, those with FRLG can catch a Diglett in Diglett's Cave. They already know Dig.Question: HOW DO I GET AZURILL? Answer: Breed two Marill. Make the male hold the Sea Incense, found in Mt. Pyre. You need to ascend the tower from the inside, then drop through the bottom hole to get them.Question: HOW DO I GET WYNAUT? Answer: There are two ways. One is to hatch the egg the old woman in Lavaridge gives you. The other is to breed two Wobbuffet, and have the male hold the Lax Incense, also found in Mt. Pyre. See instructions on the Sea Incense to get the Lax Incense...it's on the floor above it.Question: I WANT ANOTHER MASTER BALL. HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING ONE? Answer: Win the lottery. No, seriously. Once each day, you can go to the ground floor of the Lilycove City Department Store, and talk to the lady on the right. She will tell you that you can pick a Loto Ticket. If the numbers on the aforementioned ticket match the ID of any of your Pokemon, you win a prize. Match all five numbers, and you will walk out of there one Master Ball richer (unless you drop it).Question: WHAT DO I USE THE MASTER BALL ON? YOU CONVENIENTLY DID NOT SAY. Answer: Sorry about that. Use it on the BZZT-colored dragon that roams Hoenn.Question: WHAT IS MIRAGE ISLAND? Answer: A mystical island found in the big empty space on Route 131.Question: HOW DO I GET TO MIRAGE ISLAND? Answer: There's a man in Pacifidlog Town in the house southeast of the Pokemon Center who will tell you if he can see Mirage Island. If he sees it, it's there. Take each and every one of your Pokemon to this man every single day until he sees Mirage Island. Then go splurge.Question: WHAT IS ON MIRAGE ISLAND? Answer: Wynaut. Lots and lots of Wynaut. Oh, and a Liechi Berry. It's one of a kind, so plant it and grow some more! In battle, it raises Attack when HP get low.Question: I CANNOT FIND TM22, SOLARBEAM! WHERE IS IT? Answer: The Safari Zone. See the Safari Zone Section for details.Question: I SUCK AT FISHING, PLEASE EXPLAIN IT TO ME! Answer: No more free fish in this game. No, they make you work for your Pokemon in this version. An improvement, if you ask me. Anyway, when you fish, you will see a series of dots. When it says "Oh! A bite!", press A. If you're fast enough, you'll hook it and start a battle. If you're too slow, you'll lose the fish and have to start again. If you're not fast enough, but not too slow, you'll start with the dots again. Note that sometimes you won't get a bite.Question: TIMER BALLS? REPEAT BALLS? WHERE DO I GET THOSE? Answer: Head to the Rustboro side of Rusturf Tunnel and talk to the Devon Researcher. He will give you a Repeat Ball, as well as tell you that they will now be selling them (as well as Timer Balls) in Rustboro City's PokeMart.Question: NO ONE WILL REMATCH ME! WHY NOT? Answer: It's random when someone wants to rematch you, but the rematches won't start until you defeat
