Congrats Drago! I hope I don't have to hatch as many as you for my Shiny Fletchling.

Thanks! And I indeed hope the same. But from your past posts it seems the RNG Gods smile much greater upon you than on me. Best wishes.

...Bulbasaur?

Yes, it's Bulbasaur. That's what it says on the picture.

 

[Busaiku]

Oh my goodness Teddiursa is so cute.

...Bulbasaur?

aka The Best Pokemon, yes.

 

[Astral/H3X]

smart. didnt even occur to me to do that, she was so adamant to see them NOW lol


now that, is a very interesting question. i wonder.

Essentially the same thing. Very, "Oh this is special because it's you and me."
I guess she's bi and into hats or something.

Shiny Poliwag after a 5 pokemon fishing chain. Doesn't have swift swim though so into the pokebox you go little fella.

Clawitzer shiny took 200 chain encounters.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

Gaf, is there some sort of trick to encountering Dedenne's? I've been wandering route 11 for a while and can't find any.

 

[Charlie0108]

Clauncher, why won't you shine?

 

[Drago]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!

f I told you how many eggs this took, I would have to kill your favorite Pokemon.
Also, I'm never deliberately doing Masuda for another Shiny again.

Man, I feel great right now.

nice nickname you gave it ◕ ‿ ◕

They're rare. If you have a Pikachu with Static, put it at the front of your party. It'll increase encounters with Electric types.

Didn't know about leading with static. Thanks. Any other abilities which affect Pokemon encounters?

EDIT: 2 encounters with Pikachu as lead and Dedenne appears. Thanks again!

 

[DedValve]

so does anyone have a list of the best hordes to EV train and what route they are in?

 

[Loco4Coco]

They really fixed the shiny encounter rate, just ran into a shiny Amoonguss and Noctowl within 5 minutes of each other.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Indeed. But from your past posts it seems the RNG Gods smile much greater upon you than on me. Best wishes.



Yes, it's Bulbasaur.

Thanks! I've already ran out if box space don't want to organize @_@

No, shiny Charmander is yellow. As is shiny Charmeleon. Only shiny Charizard is black.

Magnet Pull makes Steel types more common.

If someone wants more destiny knots, you can get them by battling a woman in Lumiose city, in an alley straight up from the exit to route 4.

 

[Chozo]

My honedges just don't want to excel in defense. Have two now with HP, Atk, Satk and Sdef max IVs. :/ I'm thinking I will just settle. Is it a good idea to carry a special move on a physical attacker in case of Intimidate, physical walls etc? Aegislash base Satk is pretty good.

Generally if you go mixed you're doing so counter things that would otherwise wall you (eg Close Combat on A special attacking Infernape to get around Blissey). Since you usually can't afford to dedicate all your EVs to both attacking stats, you're usually banking on super effective moves to do your work for you, but knowing what you'll need is hard until the meta settles a bit.

Also, the big limiter for Aegislash is that despite his high special attack in blade form his current known special move pool is pretty pants.

 

[Panzon]

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."-

Thanks man this helped alot. Also would like a friend safari with dittos if its not too much to ask

 

[Deified Data]

I stopped looking at the numbers and started looking at Malamar.

There we go. Knew from the moment I saw Malamar that he'd be my favorite Gen VI mon. Now I have a ton of favorites, but Malamar is something special.

Scrafty on notice?

 

[QisTopTier]

After I beat the game first thing Im doing is aiming for a perfect IV crobat with infiltrator, a Perfect IV Aggron, and a Perfect IV clefable with magic guard.

Gotta rep my faves

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?

Coincidentally, these are the only 3 Pokemon from that trademark list a while back that have not been identified. They can also been seen when looking for GTS offers and there's no loading times when requesting them through inputting their name.

 

[Korosenai]

I've got level 67 Tyrantrum with earthquake, an oddish with sweet scent, macho brace, and a bibarel to spread pokerus. I think I'm ready, though I think it would be more beneficial to go grind some bp at the battle maison for the specific power items.

 

[Busaiku]

Goodra cannot take Foul Play at all...

 

[Charlie0108]

Finally, a shiny Clauncher!

 

[Ultimadrago]

If anyone wants a free Timid Bulbasaur (non-HA), PM now or forever hold your peace. Though forgive me ahead of time if I delete you afterwards since my Friends List space is really tight right now.

aka The Best Pokemon, yes.

Yes.

nice nickname you gave it ◕ ‿ ◕

Haha. Named after you, of course!

Welcome to the Shiny Kanto Starters Club. Enjoy your stay

Feels fantastic, mon.

Thanks! I've already ran out if box space don't want to organize @_@

I filled so many, I had to come back around again.

 

[MicH]

Aw, man I want a shiny starter

Well, I just caught my second shiny Clauncher (Adamant nature eeeeesh - however his Attack is higher than his Sp. Attack.. huh)

That makes five shinies using the fishing rod in two days; 2x Clauncher, Remoraid, Poliwhirl and Skrelp (Y)

Nice

Power items are much better if you really want to grind out EVs faster.

[ImpassionateGods]

What's a good moveset for Aegisalsh?

Mine has right now:
Iron Head
Swords Dance
Sacred Sword
Shadow Sneak

and I want her to learn King's Shield, but I can't decide at all which move to get rid of.

I'm on 4 - Whiscash, Relicanth, Clauncher and Horsea. I think I'll go for Remoraid or Chimchou next.

free OHKO for Sylveon!

yeah I just went there

Wah, lucky! I keep accidentally moving during, so my chain resets.
I did find a shiny magicarp, but it was the opposite gender of what I wanted, and had poor IVs. Dx

 

[ActStriker]

holy crap, I got a Mild Protean Froakie from Wonder Trading. I feel bad now because I didn't send something great in return

Switch out iron head for king shield.

Very nice! I was actually trying for Chinchou when I got Remoraid. And my second Clauncher while trying for Horsea. Oh, and Poliwhirl when I wanted Whiscash (his pre-evolution anyway).

I stil want Horsea and especally Staryu, but Clauncher appears much more often than Staryu :/ I think I'm gonna be drowning in shiny Claunchers before I get any of those, lol Hopefully I can get a Modest then

 

[Alchemy]

Beat the game last night on my "trial run" of the Elite Four. I avoided buying any restoration items, and just wanted to get a sense for what the Elite Four had in store for me and still beat them on my first time. All I had left when I fought the champion was a full HP Gardevoir and a half dead Tyrantrum. Despite some accuracy hax with Tyrantrum missing three straight Head Smashes I still managed to beat the champ on my first attempt.

On one had, it feels easy. But on the other I feel kind of like a bad ass for managing to pull that off. No pre E4 grinding or restoration items, just walked in and barely managed to win on try #1.

Now to clean up all the post game content so I can get myself set up for training teams and completing my pokedex.

Switch out iron head for kits shield.

Is there a big reason why Sacred Sword is preferable to Iron Head? It provides good coverage, but I'd think the higher damage from Iron Head would be preferable.

If you need to place all of those shiny claunchers somewhere, I'll lend you my box! ;D

You need to farm them? What for... I have two, I got one from super training or breaking a rock in the fosil cave I dont remember

Thief on Boldore or Roggenrola.

Ah that's where I got the second one XD
