Just evolved a Sylveon to add to my Jolteon. Team all Eeveelutions is coming along nicely. What's the quickest way to increase friendship without too many battles. I want to get Espeon and Umbreon evolved without learning too many of Eevee's normal-type moves rather than the type-specific moves of the evolutions. Is there a way to check the current friendship level?
 
Back-tracked to catch a Pikachu this weekend holding a Light Ball.

Show a friend the game at breakfast and explain what I'm doing.

He catches one, and it goes to the box.

Hours later I go to look, he nicknamed it loser, and it happened to be Shiny. So now I have a shiny loser Pikachu.
 
Busting my ass grinding all my poison type friends on friend safari trying to get a grimer or muk. Anyone got a spare? I'm desperate enough to trade pretty much anything I have.
 
I have a lot leftover Adamant Tyrunt w/ Dragon Dance. They have either 3 or 4 max IVs.

If any of you want one, my FC is 2836-0194-8979
May I have one? I don't have anything good yet besides some safari pokes. Perhaps a female modest Braixen? Code is 5327-0913-5604.
 
May I get one as well? 2680 9588 3121
Sure! I added you - you need to add me back :)

I know it's not much and that you probably have it already, but it has PKRS in case you didn't have any pokémon with it :)

Thank you very much!
That's VERY useful :D Thanks!

Sure! That sounds great :D I added you
 
Guys,
Someone on gamefaqs/reddit found a way to increase shinies through fishing,
its pretty much chaining through fishing,
i did a chain of 23 for nothing but then got a chain of 13 and found a shiny clawitzer so i know it works!
not sure if this has been posted yet but everyone should check it out,
more info in link http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/696959-pokemon-x/67566852?page=1

Yup. Just got a Shiny Clawitzer (Shiny #5). Lost count of the chain but it wasn't that high. 20-30 if I'd have to guess.

EDIT: just checked. Chain was 20 (Highest chain 21 because I fished once more after).
Using Super Rod with a fainted Suction Cup Octillery in lead.
:( It's Impish in nature. - SpAtk. ;_;
 
So the chain fishing - I guess it rests if no Pokemon bite?

Guess I'll have a look at what water types are in the game and see what I like the look of.
 
So I just found out there's no Move Tutor in the game. :/

The shard tutors have never been in the initial batch of a Gen. Though you can learn the starter moves from Tutors, and there is a guy in a house near Victory Road where you can learn Draco Meteor (i taught it to my Kingdra and Noivern).
 
Completed the E4 on Saturday but never posted my 'complimentary' image to go with it. Why can't I just post the image straight from the Global Link site instead of crop and upload it...too much work lol.
 
I think there is one that teaches the starters something (an NPC mentioned something about wanting to see a starter and something about a move). Probably the usual Frenzy Plant/Blast Burn/Hydro Cannon...

But that shouldn't count.

Only thing I came across that I can remember off the top of my head was a guy who taught Grass/Fire/Water moves that could be used in double battles as combos.
 
HOLY SHEEET RANDOM SHINY!

I was just filling out my Pokedex, breeding to get a few first-stage evolutions that aren't available any other way, and out of nowhere this little guy popped out. I guess I was technically Masuda-Methoding it, because the parent was a Conkeldurr I got in a Wonder Trade with my own Ditto, but this was literally the first and only egg I ever planned to hatch with those two. I almost missed it, too, because I'm almost positive he didn't sparkle when the egg hatched. I only had this nagging feeling that he was a different colour than he was supposed to be, but I get that feeling a lot when a new Pokemon game comes out and they change all the sprite/model colours slightly (I've caught so many non-shiny Pokemon just in case :P).

His nature's Mild, which does him no favours, but according to Mr Intriguing Potential in Kiloude he has a perfect attack IV! No egg moves, though. This is my absolute favourite kind of shiny, because if I hadn't hatched him I probably would never have given Conkeldurr a second look. I honestly didn't even remember which Gen he was from, and now I've got a whole new thing to play around with.

Yup. Resets if you get 'not even a nibble' also if you leave and go into a house (probably if you leave route too, maybe if you leave the exact spot. Best to just sit your ass down and fish till you get one).

You can run from battles to just fish up with a nice strong Poké with False Swipe in lead or slot 2 (if you want Suction Cups of Synchronize) and just run until you see a Shiny.

I picked Amaura, so it'd be great to get one if you still had any left.

3153-3730-9713 is my FC.

Good stuff. :) Conkeldurr is one of my absolute favorite Pokémon.
 
Holy CRAP, that stat inflation. So many Pokemon with 130+ on more than one stat. I even saw one with more than 180 in something. Geeezzzzzzzz
 
Rollerskates make the controls even more bizarre and worse. Good god why couldn't they have simply done the same boring, *gasp* functional thing that the other 99% of 3D games do. Analog controller = analog range of movement. How hard is this seriously?
 
So are people having duplicates of the legendaries on GTS, I'm just curious why there are so many up for trade or do people just not care about having them and want other things?

Encounters are traditionally tied to grid-based steps in tall grass/water/&c., so I guess GF hasn't found a solution yet (every other situation seems fine, just base the pedometer on how many steps you take).
 
Added you :)

Thanks much!

Yeah, the 8-sided movement has made precision navigating for item pickup and whatnot into a bit of a chore. The Bike helps, but that doesn't come for a while.
 
I could use some more friends, shoot me a message if you add me. So far I'm really loving X haven't played pokemon since Diamond/Pearl days.

I actually may sort of go back to DPad based 4 direction movement because the analog stuff just feels broken to me.
I felt that way at first but after a bit, skating feels great. Popping in and out of the grid still feels weird, but after I got used to the skates, I would definitely use them all the time even if normally walking was analog.
 
so the fishing thing definitely works, just got a shiny skrelp after a chain of 15 or so. Ran from every encounter until then.

Just reposting as it was at the end of the last page. Just curious about how my girl and I (she has X, I have Y) can make it so we each have both.

Hey, do you still happen to have any? Tyrunt/Tyrantrum is one of the 'mans I've been eyeing this whole generation, next to Trevenant. I'd love to get my hands on one! My FC is 2895-7699-6712 Thanks regardless!
