That message usually shows up when too many people are using the GTS, it's nothing to do with the Pokemon itself.

GTS also has some checks for hacked Pokemon too, so be sure it's not one of those.

Where do you catch rare Pokemon in Pokemon Pearl?

to catch a rare Pokemon in Pokemon pearl platinum or diamond, you can use your poke radar. when on grass, use it. if there is grass that moves rapidly, or it blinks,then u can step on it.u may encounter a rare Pokemon,or the Pokemon u encountered before using the radar.another way is to trade at the GTS place.you can look for Pokemon listed in your pokedex nd check what they want in return.then you cn find it in there or look in your pokedex for it.(you need wi-fi for trading at the GTS!!)i traded my empoleon (lv. 100) for a dialga.you can offer whatever you want (has to be a high level Pokemon) and ask for anything at any lv. in return.(BUT YOU WONT GET IT BACK!!)


How do you duplicate in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl?

To perform this trick you must have a Pokemon that knows "Thief," and a Ditto. Enter a double battle with a Ditto without an item and a Pokemon holding the item you want to duplicate. Make Ditto transform into the Pokemon holding the item. Switch the Pokemon holding the item with the Pokemon that knows Thief. Use Thief on Ditto. Win the Pokemon battle. The Thief Pokemon now has a duplicate of the item.Submit a Pokemon in the GTS, and when the little clock shows up at the bottom of the screen, wait until it goes around 7 to 8 times (no way of knowing for sure; you just have to keep trying), and then turn off the system. If you did it at just the right time, it should say the save data has been corrupted (that's fine; there is backup data), and you should have the Pokemon in the GTS and in your PC. Just take back your Pokemon from the GTS, and you now have a clone. It may take quite some time before you time it just right. Also make sure you say when you originally put it in the GTS that you are looking for a Pokemon that no one would have (name a gender, and then say you want a lv100 Abra or wurmple). That way no one can trade before it clones.

Can you trade Pokemon from one DS to another?

Yes, you may trade Pokemon from one Nintendo DS to another. However, there are limited Pokemon games which allow you to trade over the DS's wireless link. You may trade between Diamond or Pearl (even from Diamond to Diamond and Pearl to Pearl) but these two games cannot trade to any other Pokemon versions.There is a special exception where Pokemon Ranger has a link to Diamond/Pearl and it is rumoured that you can trade some Pokemon from Pokmon Ranger: Shadows of Almia (second version - yet to be released) to it.The Mystery Dungeon games can link Pokemon but not trade. You can certainly export a copy of your team or individual members, but not necessarily trade. Therefore, these games are also not able to trade over the DS.If you are playing a Pokemon GBA game, you will not be able to trade using the DS. It cannot support the GBA link cabe, nor can it establish a propper wireless network with any GBA Pokemon game in it. Thus, you may only trade Pokemon over a DS if you are trading to and from Diamond or Pearl.

How do you trade Pokemon in Pokemon platinum because your Pokemon are all dark when you want to trade?

You may be making a mistake, because you trade the same way you do in Diamond and Pearl- through the Union Room upstairs or the GTS. Are you trading National-Dex Pokemon with a person who does not have the National Dex? If you're at the GTS, are you trading a Pokemon that fits the criteria? You may want to check which Pokemon you're trading to make sure that you can trade it.

Certain Pokemon, even Pokemon, have a ribbon that makes it impossible to trade the Pokemon over the GTS. Any Pokemon with a ribbon that shows the "love of a Pokemon" can not be traded. Any Pokemon WITHOUT that ribbon should be able to be traded.BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE A RIBBON!

Pokemon Diamond code 4 pokerus in Pokemon Diamond?

There is no code for pokerus, if you use the GTS -Global trade station- In jubilife city, you can leave a pokemon overnight, then when you go back there in the morning, someone may have offered a pokemon for yours. The trade will begin and you'll get the other person's pokemon. THAT POKEMON MAY HAVE POKERUS!!! You won't be able to see it yourself, so as soon as you get the pokemon, go to the pokemon center. If your pokemon has pokerus, Nurse Joy will tell you. POKERUS IS GOOD!!!!!!! It raises your pokemon's stats to the max, and when pokerus goes away, the effects stay!! POKERUS IS CONTAIGUS! Keep changing your party and your pokemon will ALL catch the virus :D Good luck getting pokerus :D
