Electivire and Magmortar

[Magpie]

I'm having problems getting Magmortar. So just a quick question - how common is it for Magby to be holding Magarizer in Diamond. I googled it and it says on Diamond Magby has a 50% of holding one, while Elekid only has a 5% of holding Electirizer. But the second Elekid I caught had his item. So my question is, are my Magby's just incapable or is the information wrong? I've spend hours using Banette's Frisk ability, frisking all the Magby's I encounter, but none have it, even though the odds should be 50/50. Do only magby's in a certain area have it or something. I just look at the bottom of route 227.

Has anyone else had this problem? I've spend hours using Banette's Frisk ability, frisking all the Magby's I encounter, but none have it, even though the odds should be 50/50

Edited for typos and bad grammer -_-

As you can clearly see it's based on the version.

Hm. The site I looked at and my magazine both have it the other way around

Good Luck. I hope you get your Magmarizer soon. You also have to trade Magar with the Magmarizer to get Magmortar. Which, unless you have WiFi or a friend to trade with, could pose another Problem. >>

Do you have Battle Revolution, silvermagpie? You can get a lv 50 Magmortar from it via Mystery Gift if you input a certain code.

Yes I do...

I can't believe I'd not heard of that. Thank you so much, you just saved me a whole load of time! :-*
