Do you have all 17 other O-Powers already?

I counted yesterday and I'm missing one.

Wait, 17?!
Gah.

 

[Charlie0108]

Poor Smeargle

 

[SmithnCo]

Any tips for tracking down the roaming Pokemon more easily? This seems like a big pain in the ass.

 

[Busaiku]

Mr. Bonding noooo.

[Ozone]

I'm still in the lower picture. Except my Pikachu is named Scott, because why the hell not?

 

[Busaiku]

Pikachu is awesome, how dare you.

 

[Chopper]

In a town near the last gym, Sycamore says something like "I've hidden a gift for you here". What exactly is he referring to?

 

[Busaiku]

Ugh, I hate this Togekiss/Floatzel/Lucario Waiter with his 3 Protects...

 

[LX_Theo]

I lol'ed at Pikachu even when I was a kid. Not even from a competitive standpoint either. Ain't nobody got time for any Pika.

 

[Stoof]

Are shiny Pokemon easier to find in the Friend Safari?

 

[Kamina]

I caught one. It's level 50 or something now.
I love Pikachu.

 

[KHlover]

Best (competitive worst) of both worlds:

I still set up my team as I like it, but doing Super Training with all of my team Pokemon is the least I can do for them

 

[Spiritreaver]

Ugh, I hate this Togekiss/Floatzel/Lucario Waiter with his 3 Protects...

Right?! I even try to play smart and switch up targets but he still managed to block something.

 

[Akai XIII]

Decided on the last Pokemon for X. Just need to train up Gible before taking on the E4.
Aegislash, Blaziken, Greninja, Gardevoir, Garchomp and Crobat.

Seems like it has good coverage and should see me through Battle Maison.

 

[KittenMaster]

In modern times those poops would travel the world on Wonder Trade.

How do you know when your style is maxed out?

I also need to know.

 

[SkullHydra]

Does anyone have any opinions on this? I'm leaning towards the second build, but I'm not entirely sure that would be ideal for her stat distribution.

I'd definitely go with the second set. Topsy-Turvy has wrecked so many Pokemon for me, that I can't see Malamar without it.

 

[Busaiku]

There's no way to check your Style offhand, but the easiest way to tell if you have Max Style or not is by heading to the Stone store.
If you can get a Mega Stone for $10,000, you're at Max Style.

 

[Growlie19]

In a town near the last gym, Sycamore says something like "I've hidden a gift for you here". What exactly is he referring to?

A hidden item on a bench by the train station place.

 

[Boney]

So what does super training and amie do?

Just beat the rock gym (somehow I feel I passed by the second gym because I can't use Cut)

The amount of Pokemon available in game is just insaaaaane

 

[SkullHydra]

Wait, 17?!
Gah.

Well there's 17 total, so you only need the other 16.

 

[Ryne]

What is a better catch, a male or female Taillow?

Doesn't the first gym let you use cut?

And the rock gym is the second gym.

And Super Training is basically EV training in the form of a minigame.

Pokemon Amie is like playing with them. Evolves Eevee to Sylveon (part of requirements) and gives some occasional battle bonuses. Not sure what else it does.

 

[DaBoss]

I'd definitely go with the second set. Topsy-Turvy has wrecked so many Pokemon for me, that I can't see Malamar without it.

How does Topsy-Turvy work? Does it make any previous stat changes the opposite, or does it make any future stat changes do the opposite?

Oh!

Guess I can't read then good to know, thanks for the info.

Why is there 3D in the caves?

Any previous changes. I combine it with Swagger to mess people up.

How can you tell if a newly hatched pokemon has good IV's? I thought you had to level them up to 50 to get a rough idea?

 

[SkullHydra]

There's a guy in the Pokémon Center in Kiloude, who tells you if you have any IVs maxed, as well as which ones are.

Guy in Kiloude Gives you a rough estimate of what its best ones are (and if multiple).

Malamar is the perfect hard counter to Aegislash. Her attack doubles whenever she hits Aegis' King's Shield, and she can turn a decisive Swords Dance into a game-changing cripple. Also her Night Slash can OHKO an Aegislash wih Attack investment

 

[darkjedi187]

Was reading that the Honedge has a 5% chance of appearing. Got really excited when one showed up on the second encounter. The dual sword evolution look awesome. Anyone using it?

Play with the poke in amie, if you do it enough,the pokemon can say "screw the rules, I have love" and survive hits that should KO them, or just self heal status effects because why not?

Even without the IV Judge, Hidden Power type and Characteristic can be enough to give you a decent idea.

[Growlie19]

Why is there 3D in the caves?

My guess is that they caved in and put some of the overworld in 3D. What's with all the stares?

Malamar is really underrated. It may not be the best Pokémon, but it can still kick some butt.

The question is, who isn't using it. Lol.

It's bulky enough to take a non-STAB U-Turn, and it's not going to be staying on the field if a Bug-type comes out.

That doesn't really take away from the point they were making.

Question about horde ev training, does the super training radar keep track of what stats are growing or do you have to do that yourselves?

Also for a new lvl1 pokemon what do you do to get it to a high enough level where it can wipe out hordes on its own?

Just use Exp Share, and it doesn't even have to do the fighting.

Oh damn, that's pretty good.

Yea, exactly what I was thinking, but why would its attack double if it hits kings shield?

I knew who wrote that before I even clicked.

Lol same here.

The EVs will show up on the graph so you can get an idea of them.

From the comments

It's time they just make it an official Pokemon already. If an ice cream cone and a ring of keys can be Pokemon, then a glitch can too. Also, it's one of the original Pokemon, which automatically makes it 100 times better than any of the new ones.

Urrrgh

 

[SkullHydra]

King's Shield lowers the opponent's Attack by two stages if the opponent hits it with a contact move. Contrary reverses that.
