IT'S MAAAAAALE. :'C

That don't matter, hon. Female Pokemon can pass egg moves now. So you can breed a new female Togepi with Nasty Plot then use the male one to pass off IVs.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Wow, when you think about it that way Pokemon breeding can be pretty fucked up.

He's only trying to keep the family line pure.

 

[Winterfang]

So I've been breeding Togepi after Togepi for hours. Got a Modest one with 31/31/31/31/31/x IVs, but I only realized after that I didn't have Nasty Plot on it and that it was an egg move. Worth keeping?

Is Togekiss actually Fairy/Flying?

Also is Cynthia anywhere in this game? I keep hearing how the current champion is a pushover. And almost everyone in her awesome team got nice boosts.

Such a sweet team, almost every poke was a pain in the butt to deal. I don't know which was scarier, her Milotic, Togekiss, Lucario or Garchomp.

At what point can you trade Pokémon from older games into X and Y? Im assuming after I beat the E4. Can I transfer 'Mons from HeartGold/SoulSilver or is it just B/W/B2/W2?

You transfer from gen 4 *heart/soul* to gen 5 *b/w* then use gen 5 to transfer to pokemon box into gen 6 *x/y*

 

[MicH]

Did I just hear that you can get hidden abilities solely by breeding with Imposter Dittos? Have we seen any confirmation on this?

 

[Gsnap]

So what's the best way to spread pokerus? I've got it on some, but I need it on others.

It is, it is.

Muhahahahahah

You'll be able to when the Pokebank app goes live in december, at which point you'll be able to transfer them at any time.(Provided you have a subscription/still have the 30 day trial.)

 

[Gartooth]

So if a shiny Charizard uses Charizardite Y it retains its black color when it mega-evolves. What happens when a shiny Charizard uses Charizardite X, (considering its default color is black) does it turn orange?

Not wearing a condom.

Just do some battles I think? or run around I dont remember if it spread based on movement/time or battles

You get Fruitsnack Charziard X

 

[toastyToast]

Aw yeah!

Hatched 2 5 IV Protean Froakie in the same batch

Hooray for inbreeding

Paired up a momma Honedge with her Son for IVs.

"The two seem to be getting along very well!"

YES

Cynthia will go down super easy this gen.
Anywhere from 3 to 4 of her team (depending on which version) goes down to Gardevoir easy, and then any starter can take out the others.

Thanks. That sucks I can't get my Japanese Ditto from my older games till Bank comes out.

 

[Shoyz]

Wow, finally a type matchup where I could win a battle spot after 5 losses.
"heat wave missed" "Charizard fainted"

Yeah I'm never going to enjoy competitive Pokemon battling..back to collecting.

I like it! Can't wait to import my army of shiny Charizards in the winter!

Spoiler

I fought hard for that shiny Charmander in Oak's lab!... and then I exploited the Emerald cloning glitch.

 

[QisTopTier]

You can probably get one pretty easy off the gts just put up a starter and leave a comment asking for a jpn ditto

 

[Stulaw]

I just finished the game and picked up the poke radar. I immediately registered it and flew to an area to try it. I wasn't able to use the hotkey selection as it would continually say mom doesn't approve. I tried walking, because you aren't allowed to be on skates. To fix it i had to go into my bag activate the radar manually, then i was able to use the hotkey. Hope this helps other people.

I came across the same problem today and fixed it by changing the position of my character to look forward rather than left. It was really weird because it started working all the time from that point on and worked before that as well.

 

[Ultimadrago]

As soon as this item grinding business is done, with that and Shiny out of the way I can finally finish the game! Start that Friend Safari hunting.

...Bulbasaur?

Yes.

 

[Growlie19]

What level does Gloom learn Giga drain in this game?

In BW, it learned Giga Drain at level 47. It's probably the same in XY, since my Growlithe learned the same moves at BW levels.

 

[Winterfang]

Any new items of interest besides Pixie Plate, Assault Vest and Weakness Policy? That's a little disappointing. I was expecting crazy items like things that let people have all the abilities at the same time and one that let's people run special moves out of their physical attack stat. (Dat Aggron coverage)

There's Safety Goggles. They protect against weather damage and powder moves.

 

[jackal27]

Anybody have a Cover Fossil? I've been hearing that you can dig them up after defeating the Elite 4? Looking to get my hands on one without needing to defeat the Elite 4 first.

This is why I don't really like breeding for perfect Pokemon. Too many fridge horror in there could happened D:

 

[Bogeypop]

First there was a Shiny Litleo I crit'd and now there was a Shiny Trapinch I ran from because I wasn't paying attention. The Gods are taking Shinies away from me as payment for my Shiny Greninja and Charizard.

Spoiler

I don't mind too much since they're awesome <3

Like spore and stuff? Man Breloom really got the short end of the stick this gen. Grass inmune to spore, substitude got a huge downgrade also, weak to Fairy damn. I mean he is not Scrafty levels of bad but Scraft was lame anyway, Breloom was cool and fun to use.

Leg Sweep was also buffed to 65 BP so it isn't boosted by Technician.

 

[Beats]

Can female pokemon pass down egg moves? I've got a female Kangaskhan with Fake Out and I'm breeding it with a Ditto, but it's not passing on to the child.

edit: Nevermind >.<

My Sigilyph will probably have a genetic disorder by this point.

Accidentally bred a decent IV Shiny Kangaskhan.

Time to release it.

So it's not a 100% chance of passing down egg moves? Nice to know.

 

[Azure J]

Copied from elsewhere:

Having a moment of conflict with two potential sets I want to run with Blaziken. First is:

Adamant; 252 Attack and Speed; Blazikenite

Protect
Flare Blitz/Blaze Kick
High Jump Kick
Baton Pass

The idea is get in, level speed up while doing as much damage as possible in a Swords Dance less set (although with absolute max offensive power) then hand off speed bonuses to something obnoxious.

The alternative is this:

Jolly; 252 Attack and Speed; Blazikenite

Baton Pass
Flare Blitz/Blaze Kick
Swords Dance
High Jump Kick

Since I won't get the free turn to build +1 speed outside of gimmicks with lead Jolteon passing Substitutes with its Baton Pass, this build would have to be able to hit the ground running after switching in on something it resists. Passing on +2 attack along with however many Speed Boosts also sounds kinda (more like extremely) hilarious to play with.

What say you all?

Try a 100% move missing at the most inopportune time, allowing me to get swept by the worst possible Pokemon you can think of.

It was so amazing I saved a vid of it: URPG-WWWW-WWWX-8R47

QU3G-WWWW-WWWX-PLLA

I'm a scrub. Have fun GAF.

 

[Astral/H3X]

Does this game let you move around Pokemon in preparation for a battle? I never accept battle requests because my Charizard and Greninja would always be in my party with low level Pokemon I'm training, and my Battle Box was never up to snuff without them.
Seems ludicrous to not be able to shuffle around Party and Battle Box pokemon.

Yeah I think it lets you pick from boxes and all, didn't pay too much attention.

 

[Beats]

No, I forgot Fakeout was a level up move for Kangaskhan. lol

 

[Roto13]

Welp. I've caught all of the new Pokemon. I'm ignoring the old Pokemon because I already have them in Black, so as soon as that transfer service is available, my NAtional Pokedex will be complete.

 

[Kiryu]

T_T...

Well he did fine for a time. I'm pretty excited at the idea of unreleased megas but didn't people said that some fellas had hacked 3DSs? How come no one combed the files and show unreleased pokes.

 

[ramyeon]

Yeah I think it lets you pick from boxes and all, didn't pay too much attention.

It doesn't though? It just uses whoever's in your party at the given time.

 

[Specialmias]

So apparently feeding kangaskhan in amie requires you to feed both momma and baby in an alternating pattern

 

[Berordn]

You get to reorder them for the battle and reassign items beforehand.

I think it also lets you use your battle box as well.

Yes you can reorder them and assign items, but you can't access your boxes. Battle Box is stupid IMO because you have to actually store your pokemon in there, while I usually have some of them in my party helping train weaker pokemon, some of them in other boxes etc etc.

Luminose city station. You can get to it from a cab.

You mean Her, Kangaskhan are always female. How they reproduce without a male counterpart is beyond me.
