Pokemon Pearl Tips & Hints

All Pokemon
You cannot catch all Pokemon in this game. You must trade them from your Game Boy Advance Pokemon games. In this game, you can get all the fourth generation Pokemon, but only about fifty original Hoenn / Kanto / Johto Pokemon.



Hatching eggs quickly
While still in Solaceon town, get on the far right side of the path next to the Pokemon Center. Simply ride your bike in the fastest gear up and down until you hit a tree or mountain and repeat. You must have done at least 400 steps each "lap" and get a egg or get one to hatch more quickly than riding elsewhere.



Mystery Gift
At the Jubilife television station, talk to anyone you see. If you find the person enter "EVERYBODY HAPPY". Then for the WiFi people enter "WI-FI CONNECTION". Those will get you Pokemon such as Arceus, Shaymin, and Darakai. Note: You must have a WiFi or DS wireless link cable.



Polishing your Badges
Open your Trainer card menu. Open your badge case and rub the stylus over the badges that you have won from the gym leaders. They will become shiny after a good polishing. Also, each badge makes a different noise, allowing you to play them like an instrument.



Calculator sound
Use the calculator on the Poketech. If you get an answer to a problem it will make a sound oise corresponding to the number/Pokemon in the Pokedex, but only if you have seen that Pokemon.



Tricking the clock
Because the in-game clock is in sync with your Nintendo DS and since certain events only happen every once in a while, there is a simple but not-so-obvious solution -- just adjust your DS clock. For example, the guard in the Pokemon Mansion is guarding the Bronze Statue around the clock, but he takes a break between 2 and 5 a.m. Just adjust your clock to that time and he will be gone. You can also do this to speed up berry production by jumping a few days back and forth.



Chatot: Chatter
If you do a bit of exploring and talking to people, you will eventually encounter someone who says that Chatot can learn human words. Once you obtain one (after trading with a girl in an early town) and get it to about level 20, it will learn the move Chatter. As they said, it can indeed learn human words. Once it learns Chatter, go to your Pokemon menu and select "Chatot". It will show Chatter along with summary, switch, and etc. From here, press A and record what you want to say in the DS mic. Not only will Chatot say what you said whenever you use the move Chatter, but it will become its cry. Note: This is not permanent, so you can change its Chatter as often as desired. Also, the speech will be slightly distorted so it will not sound exactly as you said it. The recorded sound lasts for only one day, so you will have to re-record it.



Amity Square Park items
In Amity Square Park in Hearthhome City, walk 200 steps, then talk to your Pokemon. It should be holding an item. Also, if you try to go in without a cute Pokemon, the man at the entrance will tell you which Pokemon are allowed.



Special items
Catch a Pokemon that knows the move Trick, then go to a Pokemon such as Bidoof or Starly. The Pokemon that knows the move Trick must have an item. Then, use the move Trick on the Pokemon and you will rarely get an item.



Underground
If someone is in your Secret Base and you are about to go back up to the surface, tell them first. If you go back up to the surface when someone else is in your Secret Base, it takes them back to the menu of the game, and they will lose all of the progress they made.



Tricking the clock
Because the in-game clock is in sync with your Nintendo DS and since certain events only happen every once in a while, there is a simple but not-so-obvious solution -- just adjust your DS clock. For example, the guard in the Pokemon Mansion is guarding the Bronze Statue around the clock, but he takes a break between 2 and 5 a.m. Just adjust your clock to that time and he will be gone. You can also do this to speed up berry production by jumping a few days back and forth.



Transferring Pokemon
When you transfer Pokemon from Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, Fire Red, Leaf Green,or Emerald, they can never go back to their original game. Do not transfer every Pokemon in the boxes you see. Make sure you leave at least some Pokemon with high levels and medium levels so you can still catch the strong Pokemon such as like legendaries.



Beating Gym Leaders The Easy Way
Here are some couple of Pokemon types you can use at the Gym Leaders of Sinnoh:

Roark: Fighting, Water, Grass, Ground. (there is a Machop at route 204)
Gardenia: Fire, Flying, Ice.
Maylene: Psychic, Flying. (I recommend a Noctowl, wich I used)
Wake: Electric, Grass, Dragon (because he has a Gyarados)
Fantina: Anyone will work, only thing you need to do is train a lot
Byron: Grass, Water, Fighting, Fire.
Candice: Fire, Dragon, Ground.
Volkner: No hints for that one.

Evolve Pokemon With Love
If you aren't very succesfull at evolving pokemon that need love (Budew, Buneary, Happiny and more.) or if you're too lazy, try this. Catch the pokemon in a luxury ball, than give it a soothe bell. then train it till it evolves.

Easy level ups for weak pokemon
To get weak pokemon up quickly you have 4 options.leave them in the day care and pay 100 + 100 per every level grow or put an exp share on the weak pokemon and put a strong pokemon at the front of your party and battle high level pokemon or put the weak pokemon at the front of the party and switch him out for a stronger pokemon next turn or trade pokemon with a friend and you both say to level those up to a certain level (traded pokemon get boosted exp per battle).

Television pokemon
Go to the Old Chateau between the hours of 10pm and 4am. Walk into any room with a television and look at the screens *(click "a" so your person "looks" at the screen)*. There is a possibility that a strange pokemon jumps out at you. This pokemon looks like a little electric castform.

Scizor Capture
The truth is in pearl, the area of scizor nor scyther is unknown. It can only be found in diamond. Trade with a diamond user who has a scyther and it shall evolve into scizor. If the both of you want scizor, cloning might have helped by using a ditto but takes a long time and patience. Hope I helped.

Submitted By: pokegio


Catching Drifblim
Unfortunately, its area is unknown so i suggest you to catch drifloon. During friday, go to valley windworks and youll find drifloon standing there. Go and catch it at once. Remember only fridays. If the date on your ds is not friday, adjust it. After catching drifloon, level it up until level 28 then it becomes a drifblim. Daycaring it up to level 28 is not going to work. Or daycare it up into level 27 and then do some training until it levels up and evolves. If you want another drifblim, do the same process. Another way for those with national pokedex is that for you to clone by catching a ditto at the grass patches near canalave. Then daycare driblim and ditto and it will breed the drifloon egg. Get the egg then hatch it. Its drifloon then level up to level 28 for another drifblim.

Shiny Stones
You can use shiny stones to evolve roselia to roserade and togetic to togekiss.

Free Masterballs
Fly to solaceon then save. Enter the house near the pokemon center then talk to the guy sitting there near the book. He will be asking for a random pokemon. Bring him the pokemon at once. Once you have the pokemon in the party, do not enter the house yet. Save it first then talk to the guy who is asking for the pokemon. He will give you any free pokeball. If not a masterball, turn off the ds and try again.

Submitted By: pokegio


Giratina Capture
After receiving the national pokedex, go to sendoff spring then head to turnback cave and find giratina. Its easy to capture by battling it using staraptor. Only Slash attack works against it. So use ultra balls or timer balls.

Submitted By: pokegio


Arcanine power
Breed a growlithe and hatch the egg you will have a level 1 growlithe use a firestone on growlithe and it will evolve into a level 1 arcanine. When you evolve growlithe at level 1 into arcanine, arcanine learns thunder fang, fire fang, and bite. Now thats a pretty good combination.

p.s. fire pokemon rule they are virtually indestructable

Creepy eyes
Go into the freaky house in the woods and up the stairs. When you go into the door on the 2nd floor turn right and find the room with a painting on the wall. Walk right in front of it. The eyes of the painting dissapear. Run backwards & forwards in front of it and eventually you'll meet the extremely rare GENGAR!

How to catch an Giratina
It is kind of hard to catch Giratina, first, Go inside the Turnback Cave, search for Giratina, when you find it, it will be moving, like a moving statue.The easiest way to catch it is throwing a Master Ball. If you dont have one, lower down its HP to red. You have to have 6 Reapeat Balls and 20 Dusk Balls. Start throwing the Reapeat Balls, if you run out of Reapeat Balls, throw your Dusk Balls. You may capture him.

The good way to get Shiny Pokemon
To get Shiny pokemon, capture 2 Dittos. Put them in the Daycare in Solaceon Town. The chance of the Shinys may arrive. Or, simply walk in to the grass, use your Poke-Radar. If there is a Shiny Patch, walk in to it. There may be a Shiny. But it is Incredibly rare. I never found a Shiny.

Get the item evolutions with only one level
You all know that some of the pokemon have to be holding certain items to be able to evolve to their last form... And I'm sure you all get quite annoyed when you have to level them up a bunch just to get them there...

Well there's this nice little trick i think everyone who hates this should know about! If your trying to evolve a pokemon with an item, i suggest saving all the rare candies that you get through the game until the end... cause when you give a rare candy to a pokemon that needs an item to evolve while its holding that item, it only takes one rare candy to do the job!

This also works for the two new evolutions for eevee!!! Just give the evee a rare candy while your next to either the mossy rock in the eterna forest or the icy rock in the blizzard area and they will immediately evolve!

How to catch azelf
First, you get a pokemon that can paralyze or put azelf to sleep. Then, keep on using false swipes. I recommend you use paralyze because if you put it to sleep, it will easily wake up. Keep on throwing different types of pokéballs because azelf is a psychic type, and more oddly, I caught my azelf with a net ball! It'll take about 15-20 pokéballs, and don't use ur masterballs!!!

Submitted By: Coolcressila


Daycare
Put your pokemon in the daycare in Solaceon Town. Go outside onto the dirt road. Go all the way to the right on the dirt road and get on your bike. Go straight up until you hit a dead end. Then go straight down until you hit a dead end. If you have the poketch app daycare checker, now is the time to use it. After you go up and down a few times click on the screen with the poketch app daycare checker. If you have higher level pokemon, you will have to run longer.

Trust me it works! I grew my pokemon from level 40-45 in less than an hour by using this.
