    I decided to breed 2 skorupis to trade online. I have around 20 now.

    Also, I'm having a bit of a problem with the gts. I found a great deal online. I guy wanted a Kadabra and put up Monferno for trade. He didn't specify what level or gender he wanted it, so I decided to trade, But it wouldn't let me. Kadabra wasn't lit up in the box, and it wouldn't let me click on him. Anyone else have a similar problem?

    I didn't think GTS showed the level that the other person wants even if they specified it. But to answer your question, yes I have had the same problem. Something else I hate about GTS is when you look for Legends sometimes you will find say one listed as Manaphy but the image is of Darkrai. I just hate that. I also don't like not being able to trade for Pokémon you haven't seen after getting the National Dex. I can understand it while you have the Poke Dex but that makes it hard for someone like me to get a Darkrai or Arceus.

    Yeah, the whole thing with having to see the pokemon before you can trade for it is total BS.

    Signalbeam
    Tri Attack
    Discharge

    Golem: lv. 53

    Pokemon fan sites like Serebii or the Pokemon wiki, Bulbapedia, I find are generally the best places for finding out about events and stuff. Serebii actually has a page for current/upcoming events listing for various regions.

    Right, this is going to be a longshot, but it seems worth a try.

    Okay the UK dates for the regigigas event were announced the other day, and its in very limited places that I have no chance of getting to :(  this means I can't access the regi trio on my Platinum at all. Are there any board members who have the lv100 regigigas and would be willing to loan me it just so I can catch these 3 pokemon. I promise it'd take a few days at the most and then it would be returned safely to its owner.

    I understand this is alot to ask for, and if you aren't willing to loan me said pokemon I completely understand. If that's the case just ignore me. But if you'll help out, shoot me a PM. I can't really offer much in return, but I've filled my diamond pokedex so I have to access to everything in terms of breeding, and alot of unused tms I'd be happy to give away.

    Thanks in advance anyway guys :) 

    EDIT: Right, tis all good now...Ratchet2007 hooked me up :)

    Member Card is now available for download. I would advise to stock up on Ultra, Timer, and Dusk Balls (if you do it at night time) since it will take a while before he gets caught. Also, don't save the same right before you battle him since you won't be able to escape until it's caught or it faints. I suggest save right before going into the inn. Happy Darkrai hunting, boys. :thumb
