One thing I was wondering about. Does the Ability Capsule allow you to switch into a hidden ability?
If so I will try to grind Battle Points instead of wasting time in the safari.
Nope.
 
Just caught Mewtwo. I forgot how infuriating catching legendaries could be.

I was planning on using my Master Ball but I figured I'd just give it a try and he went into my second Dusk Ball. He didn't even have a status ailment and his HP was red but not 1. I didn't have Capture power on, either. Zygarde was just as easy but I had capture power on that time.

It was pretty surprising. I have all of the legendaries now and still have my master ball.

I got one of those last night from Fish Chaining.

Yep. They're great.

What is a good nature for a Lapras, anyway?

Calm

Me too. I was considering catching a female Bidoof with it, and then breeding millions of Bidoofs in Masterballs, then spreading them out all over the Wonder Trade. But I'm not sure people would find it as amusing as I would. So it's still there.. waiting in my inventory.. collecting dust. :(

Apparently Master Balls don't pass down that way. Makes sense. :P
 
That's what Capture Power and first turn Quick Balls are for. :D
lol, forgot o-powers even existed.Quick balls by themself were pretty ineffective.

Well, lucky you. Took 25 Ultra balls for me. When you take into account all the ones I used before some accidental fainting (when trying to get him back down after recover), adds up to around 60.
 
Gogoat seems like what Miltank should've been. :(

Man I dunno what Pokemon to train next, so many cool ones, but only so many would work with my team at the moment.
 
My Style is maxed!
Where do I get Hatching Power?
When breeding, the female will pass their Poke Ball skin to the child. However, if Ditto is being used to substitute a female, the child will simply have a regular Poke Ball.
Ahh, can't remember the last time I bred something without going through Ditto first.
 
what so I do with pokerus? I was grinding and my whole team has it now.

Pray. :(

Actually, it just doubles the number of EVs your Pokemon earn, and it's not super important if you're not paying attention to EVs anyway. Still, it's not a bad idea to infect a throwaway Pokemon and stick it in a box so you can continue to infect more Pokemon should the desire to EV train the obsessive nerd way ever arise.

I know Pokerus was relevant for older games, but with the inclusion of Super Training in XY, is it really that important? Or does it also affect Super Training?

It is important for Horde encounters. People underestimate how much EV training you can get out of a macho brace+pokerus pokemon doing Hordes (or doing Horde battles, in fact, since 5 EV in less than 10 seconds is something).

Apparently EV training with hordes is much, much faster and I think I read it also stops counting after 252 EVs like in Super Training so you don't have to keep track of them anymore. Having Pokerus would make that even faster.

I like that we have more options. This game is all about options (except male trainer clothes :/)
 
I think I've made a discovery... maybe?

Fighting a wild Rotom with my Venomoth (Tinted Lens), he throws a substitue and I attack with bug buzz to destroy it but I end up straight killing him.

Tinted Lens goes through substitute now?

Yup, tried it again and it goes through substitute, YAY!

Completely forgot about Horde battles. Makes sense then.
 
Horde EV training is 20x faster than Super Training even without Pokerus.

Super Training is mostly for watching your EV progress or if you haven't unlocked post-game yet.
 
Pokerus is still pretty useful when youre leveling a traded foreign level 43 charmander with lucky egg and pokemon amie affection
 
"OK, I've beaten the elite four. How do I pass the time until December?"

"OK, my berry field is full. How do I pass the time between watering/harvesting?"

"OK, I've done all the daily events I can today. How do I pass the time until tomorrow?"

"FUUUUU Why are clothes so expensive? This shirt does look cool though."

"New goal: To become the Fashion Master! Gotta buy them all!"
