TMs/HMs/Move Tutors
Included in the “Other” boards are various shops that can be accessed at any time without having to go in order to them. In these shops you can buy TMs, HMs, and pay a Move Tutor to teach any established move from the handheld games. A list of tutorable moves can be found at Serebii or Smogon or other Pokemon sites. If you buy a TM or HM, you do not have to use it right away (with the exception of Hidden Power). Move Tutors, however, teach the move immediately. It must be a compatible move for the Pokemon in question. TMs included will be ALL TMs that have appeared in any handheld game. For Pokemon that were not around when a certain TM was in existence, we will discuss if the Pokemon would be able to use the move. If you want to suggest a Pokemon that you think should learn a move, or argue that one shouldn’t, PM me and we shall discuss. Just make sure you have an actual argument. “Because I said so” will not be accepted.
Breeding
If you want to breed a Pokemon, you must have two compatible partners. Obviously there must be a male and Female, unless one of the Pokemon is a Ditto. Go to Serebii to see if two Pokemon are compatible. When breeding for Egg moves, the baby Pokemon will inherit all moves that can be passed. This includes the Egg move you are trying to pass down, and if both parents know a move that the baby can learn in its level up list, it will inherit that move too. So, for example, if you breed two Charizards that both know Flamethrower and Shadow Claw, the resulting Charmander will know both Flamethrower and Shadow Claw, even though it doesn’t learn Flamethrower until level 34 and Shadow Claw by TM. However, it will never learn Wing attack, because Charmander does not learn it via level up or TM.
Move Re-learner
Come here if there is a move that your Pokemon missed. Such as Wood Hammer on Torterra, or Air Slash for Charizard. A special note: Smeargles’s move Sketch will disappear when used, so if you want to use it again after lv 99(the last level it learns it at) you will have to re-teach it. Smeargle cannot have two Sketch moves at the same time. If it knows it and gets to the level where it learns it again, it will not learn it (just like in the games).
Trading and Gifts
If you want to trade Pokemon with another character you will need to do the following.
1. You MUST come in contact with the character you wish to trade with in your RP.
2. You must both have a Pokemon to trade with. You can agree on it however you want. (In posts, PM, chat, whatever)
3. Go to the trading board and trade!
You may trade between your own characters, the same rules apply.
If you trade a Pokemon and receive one at a higher level than a Pokemon you have trained yourself, it will not obey you. Please be sure to take this into account when using it!
You may also give Pokemon to other characters as a gift. The same rules and procedures apply, except you do not need a Pokemon to trade with if you are gifting one, but if it is a higher level it still will not listen.
You may NOT gift pokemon between your own characters! You may only trade.
