Pokemon Heart Gold: Need Steel Coat and Shiny Stone

Posted

I want to evolve my Syther and Togetic but I don't have the items needed, and for Syther I need to trade. Is there anyone who (won't be an A-hole) who is willing to help with that?

I have no one close enough or any money for another ds, and where/how do you get them from the pokeathlon (also I haven't beaten the elite four yet so no shiny stone

go to the prize spot at the Pokeathlon, talk to all of the receptionists cuz idk which one gives it. theres also the possibility that they wont have the big prizes like Metal Coat and Shiny Stone til u beat the Elite Four

Trade evolution glitch

In Generation IV there is a glitch with the GTS that allows Pokémon to evolve by being traded, but without actually trading them. Players must first place a Pokémon that evolves by trading it (with the correct held item, like Metal Coat for Scyther or Electirizer for Electabuzz) onto the GTS. To prevent the deposited Pokémon from being traded away, players should request an impossible trade, such as a level 9 and under Mewtwo.

The player must then search for a Pokémon on the GTS and trade for it. After this has been done, returning to the Pokémon that was placed on the GTS by the player and taking it back will cause it to evolve.

It is possible that this was intentional, however due to the fact that it was removed in Generation V makes this very unlikely. The risk of not being able to reacquire a Pokémon while trying to evolve it through trade evolution over the GTS is very great and this could have been a planned countermeasure. The requirement (a trade) must still be met in order for the Pokémon to evolve, but this system would prevent a player from potentially losing the Pokémon they wanted to evolve.

I don't think so. Just ask for a Lev 9 and Under Abomasnow or Charizard.

I tried it, it is nearly impossible to find a reasonable trade request. Which is why I'm going back to my original plan to see if someone can help
