Walkthroughs - stuffTechniques When you first capture or receive a Pokemon, you'll notice that it has the ability to perform certain battle techniques, which are basically that Pokemon's attacks. Some techniques are only good for damaging an opponent; others can only cause status changes. Each technique has its own power rating and accuracy, so be aware of these before heading into battle. You don't want to use too many attacks in a row that have a small percentage of hitting, because you may take too much damage waiting for your own strike to hit. Each technique also carries a PP (power point) rating. This is how many times you can use an attack before you run out of power. PPs only reset once you go rest your Pokemon at a Pokemon Center, or use an item on them (like Elixir or Leppa Berry). Preserving PP on your best attacks--saving them for key battles--is vital to your success in this game. You don't want to arrive at the Pokemon Championship out of PP. As your Pokemon gains experience and levels up, it will try to learn new techniques (battle maneuvers) that can seriously add to the power or usefulness of your monster, depending on the attack. Always take the time to check out the potential technique before deciding whether or not you'd like to add it to your arsenal. Note: If you don't want to learn a specific attack, simply press B as the Pokemon is trying to learn it, and it will cancel the education. The next time your Pokemon levels up, it will try to learn the technique again. Here is a full list of all learnable techniques in the game. The Bolded ones are our selections for most effective attacks. Please note that these moves work best in battles, not necessarily in contests.

How to get each of them is discussed within the walkthrough of this guide. HMs can be taught to different Pokemon as many times as you want, provided that those Pokemon are capable of learning them. Learning HMs will give you and your Pokemon access to parts of the map you have not yet visited. For instance, learning Surf will allow your Pokemon to travel across the seas and discover faraway island locations, which are necessary to your quest. These HMs can be found and learned during the course of the game: HM Ability 01 Cut 02 Fly 03 Surf 04 Strength 05 Flash 06 Rock Smash 07 Waterfall 08 Dive -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TMs In addition to HMs, you can find and use Technical Machines (TMs). Unlike HMs, once you gain a TM, you can only use it one time on one Pokemon. Therefore, it is a much more crucial decision as to which monster to give it to . Before deciding, consult the Bag and look at the description of the TM, and only give it away when you are 100% sure. There are a few TMs that can be purchased, so keep your eyes peeled for deals. Since they are often powerful attacks, the TM price tag is usually high (3000+). Keep enough money in your coin purse to pony up for these rare moves when called upon. Here's a full list of every TM in the game. Again, the location of each is described in the walkthrough section of this guide.
