Trickroom Pokémon Events by Alice

If you bought Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver and are eager to start getting some uber-mons on your file, you’re in luck.  A growing community of fans has emerged called “Trick Room”, headed by a generous soul named Alice.  By slightly altering your online settings and entering the in-game GTS, players can trick the game into thinking it’s receiving a pokémon via Nintendo, when in fact it’s coming from Alice.

The pokémon Alice uploads are generally rare or difficult to acquire without the use of an Action Replay.  They also may come with a set combo in mind.  For instance, I stumbled upon this operation last night when a “Flinchsparce” was the ‘mon of the day.  This Dunsparce’s move-set includes the best flinch inducing attacks, and he’s equipped with a King’s Rock for added flinch-ifying.  The received pokémon are also fully EV trained and generally have the optimal nature.  There may even be a shiny pokémon from time to time!

Here is a rundown on how to set up your DS:

1. Make sure there are six pokémon in your party before beginning.
2. Start up your copy of the current generation of Pokémon titles (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heart Gold, Soul Silver).
3. Before loading your file, go to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Settings.
4. Choose to edit your current connection settings.
5. Set Auto-obtain DNS to NO.
6. Manually set Primary DNS to: 99.41.98.43
7. Save the settings and load up your file.
8. Go to the GTS located in Goldenrod City.  If upon entering you receive an error message you either do not have 6 pokémon or the server is busy.  If you do have 6 pokémon, then just try back a little later.
9. Upon entering the GTS, you will instantly attain whatever event pokémon is available at that time.  You can check which pokémon is available by following Trickroom Event on twitter or by becoming a member of their forum.
10. This step is for Heart Gold and Soul Silver owners only!  After receiving your pokémon you will receive an error message and your game will return to the title screen.  This is normal, don’t worry!  The event pokémon will be in your box, so just load up the file and you’ll be good to go!

Obviously using these pokémon will alter the difficulty of your game, so those who want to keep their game “pure” will probably avoid this.  If there are any pokémon events in your area through Game Stop or etc., you would need to change your Wi-Fi settings back to participate.

I for one am eagerly awaiting the next pokémon that Alice will be bringing to greedy poké-fans all over the world!
