Pokémon XY |OT2| Would you like to leave a tip?

Man, some requests on GTS are ridiculous. So you want a Xerneas or Yveltal for your lvl 1 Squirtle? Maybe back when cheating was widespread, but now? lol
 
Wasn't on GAF the day this happened but I was doing my usual wonder trade routine, meaning I was catching any pokemon I came across and then shooting it off into the void if it was a double hoping I'd get something cool in return.....and something cool I did get. Don't remember what I sent (I was walking through reflection cave so something from in there) and as per the usual, I was expecting a weedle in return for my time and effort. Instead, what graces my presence is none other than a japanese Xerneas (and even more in luck since I'm playing Y). Now, I can't say if this was a mistake, someone being super generous, or a fellow about to delete his game going through the trouble of at least spreading out any legendaries he had gotten but I couldn't help but notice that he had used his master ball to catch said Xerneas so I'm inclined to think this was a mistake of some sort.
 
Also I have male/female Tyrunts now, not really sure how to do IV/EV breeding but I can make tyrunt eggs for people i they are interested.
 
Mega Evolution is awesome, but what does it actually do?

I mean, I assume it raises stats or something, but is there any reason to not want to mega evolve at the beginning of battles?

Yup, it raises stats and can also change a Pokemon's type, depending on the Pokemon.

It's basically like any other evolution, except temporary. The only reason not to do it is if you have more than one Mega Evolvable Pokemon in your party. You can only use one Mega Evolution per battle.

Raises stats, changes type (for some) and each Mega usually has their own separate ability.

Although you can only Mega Evolve a single Pokemon once per fight, so if you got more than one, choose carefully.

At least there's an option on the GTS to turn crap like that off so you don't see trades like that.

Well, you can only mega evolve once per battle across all of your mons and once your guy is mega evolved, switching him out ends said evolution and your one and only mega. Against the computer? I don't see any issue not caring but you can see how a timely mega evolution would be a smart play against another person.

thanks for answering guys! So it's mainly a tactical feature?

I have to say I'm guilty of this. I'm not currently looking for any other trades, so why not put up a semi-rare Pokémon on the off-chance someone would trade a legendary for it?

I'm going to work on it and get some Pokémon that might actually be worth trading, but for now I have nothing to lose. You can filter out people who are requesting legendaries now, anyway.
 
I have some Charmanders with Solar Power and a Modest nature for anyone interested. I've accumulated a few as I'm trying to breed a Shiny. I also have some Modest females, but they only know Blaze.

I'm not particularly picky as they're more of a giveaway, but if you had an Eevee with Anticipation or a Froakie with Protean, that'd be pretty neat. Would save me the hassle of trying to find them myself.
I can breed a Protean Froakie for you if you want, I'd love a Solar Power Charnander!

EDIT Which nature? Timid, Modest?

Thanks for the Friend Safari/Destiny Knot/Everstone methods... I now have a legit, no RNG needed Timid Serene Grace Togepi with 31/?/31/31/31/31 IVs.


Someone give me a nickname.

EDIT: Also, I have like 50 Serene Grace Togepis all with at least 2 or 3 perfect IV stats. Wonder Trade time!
Ooh, if you haven't already traded them I would love to get one!
 
I think Serebii might've mixed up Teddiursa Horde encounters in Victory Road with Geodude.
They don't have Geodude listed at all for Victory Road, but those are the majority of Hordes I've encountered, but I've never seen a Teddiursa.
 
OOoooohh That's good to hear about 1 Mega evolution per battle. Glad I didn't go ahead and try to train an All mega team thinking I'd only ever match up against the same.
 
Pokemon becomes creepy obsessive about you during battles with max affection

but it is cute that they look back towards you
 
Hey I need a bit help with breeding. I have a modest Eevee with Hidden Ability and 31 IVs on Sp. Atk and Defense and a Ditto with 31 IVs on Speed and Sp. Def. What items should I give them to hold while breeding? I need to make an Modest Eevee with the Hidden Ability and 31 IVs on Sp.Atk, Sp.Def, Speed if not all of them.

Also, will the IV Judge tell me if it has 31 IVs on the stats I want?
 
Wanted to nickname my Pumpkaboo "Scary Spice" but it wouldn't let me enter "Spice" for some reason.

How in the world are they filtering nicknames out in this game?
 
4 of the 6 FCs are Flying-type.

Egh. Still won't post it on the GAF public.

EDIT: That was definitely not flying. Water typing has nearly the exact same color icon.
 
Anyone willing to trade Dittos? Apparently the rate of breeding shinies is higher if you use a Ditto from another region. I'm from Europe btw. and so is my Ditto.

FC 0516 7471 3292

They filter it so if any names are obscene in any supported language they filter it out.(the first four letters of spice can be used as a slur.)

My Chesnaught complimented my bag last night while slapping away some Flare grunts.

Too much information.
 
I just can't navigate my way trough Lumiose City. I get lost all the time.

Anyways, just beaten the fifth gym. This is my team:

Lucario Lv. 41
Alakazam Lv. 44
Greninja Lv. 44
Vivillion Lv. 44 (beast!)
Pikachu Lv. 44
Talonflame Lv. 44

Now little over 16 hours in. Awesome game.
