Pokemon Platinum Questions?

Question

1:
Before I go into the vortex when Cynthia and I chase Cyrus, why does my rival ditch me? He just heals my Pokemon and runs off.

2:
Why doesn't Cynthia team up with me when I take on Cyrus for the last time? Cynthia herself could easily beat Cyrus because she is stronger, and she just stands there as I take on Cyrus alone. That's not fair.

3:
When I get up to Giratina, I want to get it as a shiny Pokemon. If I save before I encounter it and continue restarting, will I eventually find a shiny Giratina?

Please answer all the questions!
If some of these have been answered before, please send me a link.

Answer 1

1.Thats how they programmed it.

2.It wouldnt be a challenge if cythia did it so therefore you must do it.

3.Yes its called Hard Resting or Soft Resting.

Comments

it will take a while but it could be anywhere from 1to any number

And if I used a Dusk Ball on Giratina in the Distortiom World, will the catch rate be 3.5?

---

Isn't it Soft Resetting, not Soft Resting?

---

Soft resting is a faster way of say soft resetting

Oh. OK, thanks.
