My proudest achievement so far...Shiny Mega Charizard Y. It's crazy how much better Mega Charizard Y looks if your Pokemon is shiny *_*
 
For the IV guy in Kiloude City, how do I tell if the IV is 31 or not? Is there a chart anywhere that has numbers corresponding to what he says?
 
Oh my god riding the bike at night gives me a cute little front flashlight. This game is killing me man, killing me. I'm still not over the kneeling down in front of kids.

If he says something like "stats like these can't be beat!" that means they're 31s.
 
Do you have any careful nature Inkay's you can spare?

Bro, I have too many Careful Inkay to spare ;P

Probably careful nature, and you definitely want to put 252 into attack, though i'm not sure about the rest.

Mine's 252 Attack, 252 HP, 4 Sp. Def. It's worked pretty well so far.

I knew it'd take a bad enough dude to train a Malamar, and not surprisingly, ScraftyDevil is that bad dude. Very cool. :)

88 base defense/75 base special defense?
get out of here, any decent attacker at all would destroy it

It's amazing what a simple HP investment and Superpower boost can do.
 
Am I the only one getting his ass kicked? The reviews kept talking about how easy the game is, yet I can't even count how many random trainers have slaughtered me (just barely survived against a trio of Fighting-type trainers in Route 11).

It just seems like their levels jump up dramatically after a gym. Maybe I'm just underleveled or something?

Do you have exp share on? How frequently do you change the contents of your team?
 
Going through Victory Road I just realized most of my team is weak to flying ...Damn that glorious Hawlucha. I'm thinking Greninja may be the better starter for me in the future.
 
Amazing. Soft-resetting, Masuda, luck...?
Masuda Method and a LOT of luck. About the 60th egg was a shiny. I couldn't believe it. Barely took an afternoon. First and last time I tried it, I just don't have the patience to possibly breed 2 THOUSAND eggs with the Masuda method. I actually was already thinking about giving up since I just spent an entire afternoon biking a single route up and down :/

Water is always the best in the pokemon games ;)
Well with the exception of blaziken

I went through the game with two Fairy types, two Fighting types, and a Grass type, which meant any Crobats I battled meant bad times. :P

I have bounced around a lot when it comes to the starter elements but I think for this game I needed a faster starter. Chestnaught has been great and damn is he powerful but I think with Greninja I can cover more element types that I wouldn't necessarily have. And Gourgeist has become one of my favorite new Pokémon so that covers the Grass type. lol.

lol I know those feels. yea forget Crobats. I swear every time I use my Carbink against a flying type they just so happen to have steel wing.

Only sixty? It migh as well have been the first.

It looks better than CharX, honestly. I hope you got good nature/IVs for that too.

Here is my post on it.
But I'm going to repost it since it's worth everyone seeing.

IV Judge.
(The first statement)
If the IV total is between 0 and 90: "This Pokémon's potential is decent all around."
If the IV total is between 91 and 120: "This Pokémon's potential is above average overall."
If the IV total is between 121 and 150: "This Pokémon has relatively superior potential overall."
If the IV total is between 151 and 186: "This Pokémon has outstanding potential overall."

(The second statement)
If the highest IV is between 0 and 15: "It's rather decent in that regard."
If the highest IV is between 16 and 25: "It's very good in that regard."
If the highest IV is between 26 and 30: "It's fantastic in that regard."
If the highest IV is 31: "It can't be better in that regard."-

Yeah Greninja learns Dark/Water/Psychic/Normal special attacks so he can pretty much solo the entire game
 
I dunno, man. My Malamar survived a U-Turn from my friend's Protean Greninja this morning and then proceeded to Superpower it to death the next time it switched in ;P

It'll get torn apart by Scizor though.

I distinctly remember you hating on Malamar earlier - what changed?

Mine's been a boss so far.
 
So, when hatching an egg when are things decided? Like, when are IVs, nature and shiny decided?
Is it when the egg is made? When the egg is given to you or when the egg is hatched?
Basically, I wanna know if I could just save a few steps away from hatching and then soft reset to get different IVs or shiny etc.

Serebii, I know you lurk this website and this thread. Could you address why those pages were up on your website?

Hacked? Or just wishful placeholders?
 
Got my Mega Banette trained. How does this sound?

------------------------------------------------------
Mega Banette

Ability: Prankster
Nature: Adamant

IVs: 31/31/31/?/31/31
EVs: 252 Def, 252 S.Def, 4 Attack

Shadow Sneak
Will-O-Wisp (Toxic?)
Curse
Protect
------------------------------------------------------

Pretty self-explanatory. I wanted to try out a Prankster build. I've been leading with him, though I've yet to pick my third member. Volcarona is my other trained guy, with my story Clawitzer bringing up the rear for now.

Going by brief testing, it's been good at eliminating leads and occasionally getting a suicide Curse in on the next guy. I like Will-O-Wisp for the Attack decrease, but Toxic kills faster. Thoughts? And any other ideas on how to improve him?
 
So i'm 34 hours and 44 minutes in with my pokedex at 120 and I just got the 2nd gym badge. All I can say is I will beat this when xmas is here.
 
So regardless of the pokemons potential it could still have max IV's? According to the guy in the pokemon center? Currently looking at my Ditto's.
 
OK the postgame is shit, I really have nothing to do in this game.

I give no flying fuck about dressing up the kid I have to play or petting my pokemon and feeding them cupcakes.

Also not interested in doing math and breed the perfect pokemon for something I will never do ( serious multiplayer games)


Black and WHite 2 were from the postgame so much better. Pokemon... one of the franchises where you can bet the next games somehow will cut popular features the next game.

If I used Mega Banette, I'd probably always have Destiny Bond as one of the moves. Prankster Destiny Bond is just too awesome not to use. Could definitely save your ass at some point.
 
I tried Pokemon with Red/Blue back in the days, found it incredibly boring. In X I'm so hooked right now it's not even funny.

Also I love what they do with all the internet stuff, even if I haven't figured out most of it yet. Got 7 badges from the gyms and still feel like

Do you have exp share on?

No. I heard it frequently overlevels your Pokes so I didn't bother with it; plus, I always liked the appeal of individually training them.

Is the game built around using it?

How frequently do you change the contents of your team?

Pretty dang frequently. My team started out with Fletchling and Bunnelby, but they're in the PC now. I have Pikachu and Floette as placeholders, but I may keep the latter around.

Wasn't fighting the npcs at the end of B/W2 just a tonned down training for multiplayer battles thing anyways? Why not dive into playing other players if you want more content out of the pokemon games. I mean shit it's not like it takes any real effort to get into it. *online now, breeding stuff has been made super easy and fast once you get started on it*
 
Im jealous of everyone who has perfect IVs. It really takes toll on your patience trying to get the perfect or almost perfect IVs for the right pokemon and nature. I try to get Dittos with better IVs but it is way too much grinding but I will not give up.

Well the thing is once you are done with that part you are done period. It's only the first stretch that takes a bit of time

Nah npcs have higher levels and the championship was just nice to fight known characters.. And I'm not at least interested in breeding something.

Female
Modest Nature
Can't tell you the exact IV because I fucked up EV training a bit (need dat reset bag), but according to the judge:

Above Average potential
Highest EV in Attack :/

It's ok though, I don't play competitive anyways and EV training is enough to keep up in Post-Game and in random online battles :D
 
Well I'm convinced the Safari shiny odds get dropped once you caught a shiny in that Safari. Spent 8 hours hunting yesterday for none, caught one within 15 minutes today in a new one.

Could be luck, but cmon..
