Catch A Heatran
To catch a Heatran go through Stark Mountain and then when you see Buck in a room, and he is taking the stone, he says stuff and then walks off... Well then you have to go to his house in the survival area or battle zone and talk to him again. He says he is going to go put it back. Then go to stark mountain again in the same room were buck finds the treasure and there is Heatran. Be careful and save because he is lvl 70 and he is fire-ground type. Make sure you have a lot of dusk, ultra and luxury balls with you.

Catching Cresselia
The Grasses of Sinnoh
After beating the game, go to the city with the sailor who brought you to Iron Island. There should be a house next to him that was locked. Enter the house and talk to the woman. Then go back to the sailor and talk to him. He will sail you to New Moon Island. Once you get there, enter a forest. Cresselia should be there. Go up to her and press A. If she flies away it is working. An item is left behind. Bring the item to the sailor. You will sail back to the house to wake up his son from his horrible slumber. Now Cresselia should be roaming around Sinnoh on level 50, just like Mesprit.
Getting Leafeon And Glaceon
Eterna Forest / Route 217
Since Eevee aren't as freakishly super rare as in every single game in this game this is easier with the National dex, Pal Park, and the breeding center.The National dex allows the trophy garden to get much more pokemon. Take 1 or 2 Eevee, 1 or 2 rare candys and 3 max repels. For Leafeon, in Eterna Forest near the upper corner of the entrance area is a mossy stone.Get near it and use a rare candy or do it the old fashioned way to lv. up. It should evolve into Leafeon. For Glaceon, in the Blizzard Zone go to the blizzard coated field and head to the north eastern part of the field, you will find a frozen stone. Use a rare candy or fight to lv. up. It should evolve into a Glaceon.
Spiritomb's Weaknesses
Elite four
Spiritomb's weakness is Dialga's dragon claw and Infernape's flame wheel (basically fire and dragon)
Get Mesprit And Cressilia
Not in the Battle Zone
Mesprit and Cressilia are tricky to get, but you can try to use quick balls on them since they'll run away after you throw a poke ball (any kind) if it dosen't work. Also, try using a Wobbufet or Wynaut since their ability prevents escape.
Dividing A Pokemon's Type
Pokemon Center
Sometimes it's better to divide your Pokemon's types into different boxes. You can split up all the Pokemon into different boxes. Remember to name the boxes by the Pokemons' type. Example: You can name a box "Water" and put water type Pokemon and other water types that have two types. You can also put Pokemon in different boxes depending on it's color. I suggest types. And this can make it easier for you to remember which box your Pokemon are in.
Avoiding Double Battles
Sometimes, you can notice that if you walk in between two trainers, you get into double battles. Well, to avoid that, just talk to one of the trainers. Make sure you talk to him from the side. Doing this will get you into a single battle. Then go to the other trainer and get into another single battle. It takes longer, but it's handy if you're like me, who raise only one Pokemon. (Note: if both of the trainer's sides are blocked off, you can't do this trick).
To Get Or Evolve Pokemon With Ease
To get or evolve certain Pokemon you need a certain time of day. To get to this time of day you go to your DS clock and change the clock to the time you want it to be. Now you can get or evolve these Pokemon with ease.
Double Catching Rate
Catching any wild pokemon
When encountering wild pokemon, and throwing any Pokeball at it, if you say "Gotcha" into the microphone in the middle of your Nintendo DS, it will double the catching rate.
Cathing Azelf
Lake Valor
After you defeat Cyrus at Mount. Coronet return to lake valor to capture Azelf one of the legendary mirage Pokemon. Azelf is level 50 and is also the easiest to catch out of the 3 legendary mirage Pokemon. But as I was saying when you get to lake valor surf to the middle and you'll notice a cavern - go into it and Azelf will be in there. Save before you go into battle because if you faint, it's gone for good. Have plenty of dusk balls ultra balls and a bunch of great balls.
Get L. 70 Ghost Dragon Pokemon
In Fourth Lake
There is a secret hidden lake only unlockable after getting the National Pokedex. If you look closely at the map, you'll see what looks like an empty square near Lake Valor. if you zoom in on it, they will say it is the fourth hidden lake and if you go there, you'll find a cave and if you go to the last room, you'll find a giant evil dragon pokemon at level 70. it is vulnerable to ice, dragon, dark, and ghost types. (PS: You might need to look up research on it at the Canalave city library before it will be available for capture.)
Drifloon Time
At Valley Wind Works you can get a Drifloon on every Friday afternoon.
Free Pokeballs
Soalceon Town
In Solaceon Town, go to the house next to the Pokemon Center. Talk to everyone in there. One of the people will ask you to bring them a Pokemon to look at not to keep. Do this. Take it back to the person and then they will give you three random free pokeballs. They are : Dive, Dusk, Great, Heal, Luxury, Nest, Net, Poke, Quick, Repeat, Timer and Ultra.
NOTE: The Person will NOT give you a Master Ball
Pal Park Pokemon
After you've seen all Pokemon in your normal PokeDex, put a GBA cartridge in the GBA place. When you go to Pal Park, they'll give you 6 pokeballs. You can catch pokemon from the system you put in. I put in Emerald and I caught a lvl 40 Swampert.
The Mighty Lucario
Iron Island
After You beat the fifth Gym, go to the sailor and tell him to sail to Iron Island. Then you meet Riley and he has a Lucario. When you and him beat the Galctic Grunts he will give you a Roilu egg. NOTE: Bring only five poke'mon to the Island or you have to walk back to him to get the egg. Also Roilu evevoles at Friendship evolution so feed it poffins don't make him faint and give him massages in Veilstone City.
Get A Premium Ball
Any Pokemart
If you buy 10 pokeballs and you get a premium ball.
Catch Lucario
After you beat the 5th gym leader in diamond go to a foggy lake, then use defog (you should be able to get this HM sometime after beating the 5th gym leader just keep looking for defog if you don't get it after beating the 5th gym leader) after you use defog in the lake cross it after that a man will have a briefcase - he will either give a riddle or a question to solve before he battles you (depends on which game you have)
NOTE: You must answer the riddle or question correct if you want Lucario. After you answer the question or riddle correctly he will battle you, If you win, you will get Lucario.

Partner In Eterna Forest
When you are in Eterna Forest, someone named Cheryl will ask for locating the exit. She'll heal you're Pokemon before another battle, and she has a Chancey so that means double the wild Pokemon. (I caught a Bunery with her by my side.)
Easy Way To Get A Vespiquen
Despite vespiquen's looks, she (always female 100% of the time) learns three unique and exclusive moves like Attack order (at lv.37), Heal order (at lv.25), and finally defend order (at lv.13) which is only a stat raiser and you'll need to go to a move re-learner.
To get started you'll need the three things:
1)Sweet honey, can be obtained by buying it from a man around the flower field around Floaroma town or by having a Combee already in your party.
2)Find a gold-ish tree (it's very distinct)
3)PATIENCE! (this could take several hours.)
What you need to do is go up to a golden tree, use the sweet honey, and wait a couple of hours or until the tree shakes. SAVE! before you go up to the tree and then press a if it's not a wild FEMALE Combee reset the game and check the tree until you get her and reset if you don't, then there's the catching and all that so she'll evolve into Vespiquen at lv.21 or so.
