I just looked and I don’t have any berries besides the “lessens super effective attack” type.
Just talked to Bricker Jr, and he wishes me to convey the following important information:
The Enigma Stone is available via Wi-Fi mystery gift right now to HG and SS American players.
That is all.
What does the Enigma Stone do?

No problem. As for your Mudkip, the egg moves are Surf and Mud Bomb. Since he can learn Muddy Water later (a better move IMO with the same power and accuracy, but an added effect) and you can teach it Surf yourself if you want the move, I erased it.
I admire that, despite being thousands of miles away on vacation, he still sees fit to help us with our collections. Thanks for the heads up! I finally got a Latias, and the held item is nice too.
Bring it to Steven in the museum in Pewter City in Kanto and you’ll be able to fight Latios/Latias (whichever one isn’t wandering around in your version).
Also at some point in the process you need to visit a green guy in a Pokemart. More details tonight if needed…
1.) Go to the Mystery Gift screen on the main menu
2.) Connect to Nintendo WiFi, download gift
3.) Receive stone from green deliveryman in Pokemart (as opposed to the red ones which give you the stuff your mom sends you)
4.) Go to Pewter City, etc.
After picking up the stone and saving, you should probably reset the DS, go back to the Mystery Gift screen, and delete the info card. You can only hold 3 cards at once and downloading a gift adds a card. The cards are pretty useless, only telling you about the event/gift and when it was downloaded.
Something I’m not certain of that BrickJr may know- Do you need to have already caught Latias/Latios for the event to occur? Or can it be still wandering about while you catch its partner? I’d already caught the first one before I started, so I couldn’t say.
I seee. I’ll have to grab a couple of those this evening.
He says:
- It’s very hot here.
- The mosquitoes are biting.
- He’s nonetheless having a great time.
- You can get the Mystery Gift any time, but you can’t get the delivery from the green guy in the Pokemart unless you have defeated the Elite Four and gotten the National Pokedex. You don’t need to have caught the other Latios/Latias.
- After you take the Enigma Stone to the museum and the researcher sees it, it vanishes and you get a “Soul Dew” added to your items.
- The “Soul Dew” is then given to Latias or Latios to hold. When they hold it, it ups both their Special Attack and Special Defense by 1.
- That’s such a devastating benefit that most tournaments and all the WiFi Battle Frontier rooms ban the use of a Soul Dew.
- You can have more than one Soul Dew, but you can’t get the Enigma Stone more than once per game.
Aruh? I got it on HeartGold and SoulSilver, including the delivery, with just the normal Pokedex - I don’t even have a Gym Badge in either game yet.
Oh. Well, beats me. I can check with the expert tonight…
I have a problem and I hope someone can tell me what’s going on.
I had arranged a trade with someone via wi-fi. Went in and no one was there. After a while I disconnected and checked that I had typed the friend code correctly. Strangely, the person’s name was there, but no friend code was listed. I deleted the person and re-entered the name and friend code and went back onto wi-fi. No one there again and again when I get out, the name is listed and the code is gone.
My other codes haven’t changed and looks fine. I can access data via the global trade fine (though I haven’t done an actual trade).
Anybody know what’s going on?
You guys can go ahead and ignore that up there. Everything’s sorted.
He repeats that as far as he knows, you can’t even get the Enigma Stone from the delivery man unless you have the Elite Four defeated. But he points out that since you need to deliver it to the museum in Pewter City, even if you have the Enigma Stone as a key item, you can’t do anything with it until you beat the Elite Four… because if you don’t beat the Elite Four you can’t get to Kanto.
Well, I’ve got two of them on badge-free characters, so maybe I’m just special.
Finished the Elite Four and got the National Pokedex in Platinum this weekend. Woo!
Congrats! If you’re looking for a good spot for levelling post-Elite Four, I like Route 229 just north of Resort Area. Plenty of lvl 50ish Pokemon with good xp; lots of them are Grass or Bug, so this is especially good for Flying and Fire, but most types should be able to get by. The nearby lake in Resort Area is great for fishing up Gyarados, while surfing has tons of high-level Golduck.
I’d been working near Canalave City for a while Everything had a Dark or Grass vulnerability, so my Carnivine was able to clean up. I was thinking the water north of Sunyshore next - haven’t trekked out to the Resort Area yet.
Right now, I’m trying to catch the Pokemon that I don’t have that appear on honey trees and at the Pokemon Mansion. Anyone know which trees are ‘lucky’ trees? I still need Heracross and Munchlax.
Bricker Jr says: instead of catching Munchlax at a honey tree, breed Snorlax while holding a Full Incense (which can be found in Veilstone City).
But I don’t have a Snorlax. And I still need Heracross.
From what I can tell, Munchlax trees (4 of them) are determined at the beginning of the game and will be different for each player. And even then there’s only like a 2% chance that one of those trees will attract a Munchlax.
Unless I’ve got something wrong. Can anyone confirm? Or perhaps provide better news?
Oh, man, that’s brutal. Well, maybe I can snag one in one of the GBA games and bring it over.
