Common Questions & Answers

Where do I get the Waterfall HM to travel up waterfalls?
You get HM05 Waterfall in Route 18, which you need HM03 Surf to reach. Check out the Walkthrough for more on Route 18.
I just keep going in circles in the Mistralton City GYM. WTF?
Some cannons can be fired in two directions. For more on this maze, check out the step-by-step Walkthrough for Mistralton City Gym.
Is there a good trick for leveling up quickly??

Yeo, check this one out from Jason Thomas: You gain experience at the Day Care based on the amount of steps you take, one step for each point of experience. (It averages about 2 EXP per second, 120 EXP per minute, 7200 EXP per hour etc.). Bring a lot of cash when you pick up your Pokemon! Note: The moves that a Pokemon learns whilst in the Day-Care Centre will be taught to them, replacing random moves as the Day-Care Lady sees fit.

1.Drop two of your Pokemon off at the Day Care on Route 3.

2.Go to the Battle Subway in Nimbasa City.

3.Position your character in the middle of the round path that encircles the column in the Subway.

4.Find something heavy to set on the DOWN and A buttons on your DS. Rig your DS so these buttons are held down and you can leave and come back later.

5.Leave your DS On for a long time (Leave your DS Charger plugged in) while your character technically takes many steps.

6.Return to the Day-Care Lady for your Pokemon.

How do I get rid of Pokeman that my mom caught on my game?
If you check out your Box using the computer at the Pokemon center, there's a RELEASE option.
Where can I catch the new Legendary pokemon?
There's a ton of info on Legendaries, in our Legendary Pokemon section.
How do I find Strength to move boulders in Pokemon Black?
You get Strength from a man in a house on the north side of the Battle Institute in Striaton city. You can find more on this and other useful moves in our TMs and HMs section.
Where can I find a Water Stone?
You can get one in Castelia City from a man on the docks -- but you have to tell him you have a Panpour.
Can you Pokemon from other regions in Black/White?
Sure, after you beat Ghetsis you can get alllll 600+ Pokemon.
How do I transfer Legendary Pokemon from my other game?
To unlock the relocator on the Main Menu, head to the second floor of the building with the scientist requesting a password in Castelia City. Talking to him lets you say a phrase. Input Everyone Happy and then Simple Connection and you will be allowed to use the Relocator at the main menu after you save your game. Use this to transfer the Legendary Trio (Raikou, Suicune and Entei) and Celebi to Black or White. --Xalerons
How do you get the Pokemon that is on the cover of Black or White?
You get the Pokemon on the cover as part of the main game -- you get it near the end. You can get the OTHER cover Pokemon only by trading with someone who has it or by playing the OTHER game.
