Here is a fun section of The Smog where readers like you—yes, you—can help shape future issues of The Smog and also get some cool prizes. To send in your answers, please send a private message to the Smogon user The Smog titled "Issue 3 Polls/Trivia" with answers to any or all questions.

Congratulations to dragonites, who was the only person to answer all the questions correctly! Please send in your choice of custom title to Misty!

It looks like readers want access to Kanto above everything else in HeartGold and SoulSilver, followed by move tutors and a resettable Celebi (who doesn't want access to a legitimate Celebi!?)

Now for last month's answers!

  1. Which of these Pokémon is never found in the Cerulean Cave/Unknown Dungeon?
    Drowzee
  2. While playing Pokémon Diamond, you have an Adamant Pokémon with the ability Synchronize in your lead slot. What are the chances of encountering an Adamant natured Pokémon ?
    This was a tricky question where most people chose 50%; however, this is wrong! Even with an Adamant Synchronizer making 50% of the Pokémon you encounter Adamant, you still have a 4% random chance of finding an Adamant Pokémon . This makes the correct answer 54%.
  3. What is the name (in FireRed/LeafGreen) where you find Deoxys?
    Birth Island
  4. Which of these berries reduces the damage made by super effective Psychic-type attacks?
    Payapa Berry
  5. Which of these abilities prevents burn status?
    This question caused some controversy, as it turned out none of the answers were 100% correct, so I accepted all answers.
  6. Which of these Pokémon is a tank?
    The correct answer is Snorlax; Snorlax can take hits and deal out a lot of damage too!
  7. Which of these Pokémon is the heaviest?
    Groudon wins at a gargantuan 2094.4 pounds!
  8. What is Punishment's Base Power after the opponent has used Calm Mind twice?
    140 BP

Now here are this issue's questions!
