It will stop at 252 for a given stat for you. If you plan on splitting 3 way or more, then yes.

You can save, use reset bag to see numbers, and then reload too if keeping track is too much of a pain.

The Battle Maison Sisters are keeping Whimsicott to themselves.

 

[Solid Samus]

so after years of waiting and hoping, I finally run into my first legitimate Shiny ever!

And it's literally just awful.

le sigh... check it out, it's fucking nothing

(any honest to god fans of Durant here? because I might be persuaded to part ways with this hideous alt-color, but I'd want a decent Safari Poke in return)

Actually, you know what, I'm gonna keep this thing because it's so useless I can't imagine anyone else wanting it

It's nature is mild

fucking mild man

so disappoint

Lol, it's own movepool doesn't have even one special attack

The green eyes are its saving grace and they do really pop during battle

still gonna train this little shit. last ten minutes I've been trying to decide whether or not to post it up somewhere and try to trade it for another shiny but hell it's the first one I've ever caught so I might as well use it

I named it Kevin because I'm an idiot

It's on right now.

 

[botty]

Anyone have a root fossil?

 

[Forkball]

So nerds... what to do about IVs? Is there any way to get perfect IVs for a Pokemon? Should I only care about getting good IVs on stats that matter? I know there's an IV guy, but he doesn't mention every stat, is there a breakdown for what he says?

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Hmm, is it on their iPad app?

You can make breeding chains to get perfect IVs, it's pretty complicated but a lot easier now with destiny knot. There probably is a breakdown of the IV checker dialogue somewhere but I do know he will say "those stats can't be beat" for 31 IVs. And yeah if you're not a perfectionist just focus on getting good IVs in stats that pokemon needs, you can especially make sacrifices in unused stats like say atk in a special sweeper, or def/sdef in a speedy glass cannon.

You're supposed to be a little sentimental about your first ever shiny, don't trade it man

Ash gonna get a Froakie first.
I forgive him for being an idiot 99% of the time.

Is there another way to get a lucky egg? I traded mine like an idiot

[slightconfuse]

where do you get the aerodactly fossil?

also an one have a good guide for natures/iv stuff

 

[Zeroth]

Those are pretty different moves. I think Razor Wind is on it's own brand of suckiness.

Razor Wind sucks because it's a Gen I move.

 

[slightconfuse]

I think you need to crush stones in the glittering cave. If you want an Aerodactyl though, I bred a few today.

ah ok.

 

[Fireblend]

My first shiny (and only so far) was a Growlithe. It's glorious and I can't wait to transfer him over.

 

[Forkball]

This game is really the closest we have to a Pokemon MMO. It has all the MMO features we would want: random battle requests, trades, randon trades, buffing, communicating with other trainers in the same area. The only thing is that you can't see other trainers, but it has so many features that you would expect in a Pokemon MMO.

 

[Fou-Lu]

Should I replace my Venusaur with something more useful guys?

Current party: Absol, Aegislash, Ampharos, Delphox, Haxorus and Venusaur.

He just feels like the weak link.

Hah, I caught a shiny Durant, too. Just an hour after coming across a shiny Graveler that blew itself up, lol.

I'm watching the preview right now too. The XY anime is already 100 times better than the previous BW one. One of the reasons was because Iris and Cilan were just so dull, I already like Ash's new companions. Serena's anime version is pretty funny

Man I love venusaur. Have him up first and he lays down poison and leech seed and then switch to a different one. And his name is Light Bulb so I could never let him go haha

Shiny Sneasel with perfect attack and speed IVs for me. Hours with the pokeradar, and it was all worth it. Gonna be a long wait until december though

 

[Revven]

Sitting here waiting for my O-Power to restore so I can see how much monies I get with Prize Money lv 3 at Battle Chateau... taking FOREVERRRRR

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

38 hours in, just got my mega evolution ring. ~34 average level. Having so much fun with super training; already maxed out 3 of my guys.

38 hours and three gym badges? I'm at nearly 50 hours with six gym badges. What's taking you so long?

Friend posted this on Facebook. I laughed.

Flawless victory.

 

[Solid Samus]

You're supposed to be a little sentimental about your first ever shiny, don't trade it man

yeah I just started super training him. Speed (which wow I never realized Durants were this fast), then Attack, then 4 in HP I guess.

I mean he'll still be a half decent Pokemon at times. Maybe every now and then I'll come across a team online that hasn't been super trained at all and I can send Pokemon like Kevin the Durant out without fear

He's going on my elite four team at any rate. And I'll probably use him in many online battles just to be like 'lol check out my shiny'

>:O

nice...

my only other shiny was a Murkrow my little brother caught one day and traded to me back in the D/P/P days. Considering that Murkrow evolves into the Pokemon that will probably remain my favorite until the end of time (and the damn thing is adamant with maxed out HP and Attack IVs... it's gonna tank all sorts of shit, ALL SORTS I SAYS), I can't wait for transfers either

I had to Google why it would be fun to name him Kevin, now I get it :lol

Well good fortune to you and Kevin

[Trojita]

Got my copy last Thursday. I'll probably be able to start it on Monday or Tuesday. I'm also still trying to finish Rune Factory 4.

 

[Forkball]

Wow Tropius' flying idle animation is uh, weird to say the least. I had no idea it was even a flying type.

 

[SuperSah]

Aw, seeing my character in 3D during the fireworks show makes me wish the game was in 3D.

Laaameee. Got a Plusle and caught that Snorlax anyway.

Where did you find a Tropius? It's my favorite Gen 3 Pokemon because of how incredibly strange its concept is

 

[Sats]

The poke radar says I can't use it every time I try

 

[DaBoss]

Use the D-Pad. You can't use roller blades, so that means you can't use the circle pad for movement. You also can't use it in the Friend Safari and tall grass.

Quick summary
-Lysandre is crazy
-Shiny Gurdurr get!
-BD Pokemon Center theme is better than the normal one
-Xerneas did not require any effort to catch. Wish I knew in advance that the battle would start immediately.
-Walked up to that stage like boss.
-The reunion with AZ and Floette was heartwarming.
-Elite four theme is awesome
-Almost got wrecked by the water trainer. Didn't help that I had two fire types and no SE moves.
-Zapdos! I guess this roamers are back...
-Thanks for the Chespin, Shauna! Wish you hadn't named it though...
-Mega Gyrados looks like a shrimp lol
-No tips for you

 

[Forkball]

Friend Safari. The friend type was actually Flying too.

Two of my friends have Fighting as their type and the exact same Pokemon. DEFRIENDED. Also why do some people have two Pokemon and some have three in the safari?

They get the 3rd when they beat the E4

Yup. Not to mention that all Friend Safari Pokemon have at least 2 perfect IVs.

I'd use some spoiler tags if I were you.

EDIT: One of my Friend Safari's has Noibat and Haxorus. Maybe I can find some sort of breeding use for those two.
I'm going to send out a PM to some of you that I've played with before or share other interests with me.

 

[GaimeGuy]

-The destiny knot item transfers 5 of the parents IVs to their child

Holy shit

 

[DanteRavenkin]

A couple questions: Can you catch a wild Ditto in XY? And is there any way to

Spoiler

Catch Snorlax after waking him up? I accidentally one-shotted him and would like to have him back.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Destiny Knot takes IVs from one parent or both?
