Woo! Thanks Wonder Trade. Just off loading a box of Froakies and I get a Skrelp with Pokérus. The real EV training starts here.
 
New avatar set~!

I believe that in a few years, you'll have covered avatars for half of GAF

Are you posting all your avatar work someplace ? I checked on your site quickly and did not find it (but maybe I'm just blind)
 
Barbaracle@White Herb
Ability: Sniper/Tough Claws
Adamant/Jolly Nature
Evs: 252 Atk/252 HP/4 Def OR 252 Atk/252 Spd/4 Def
- Shell Smash
- Razor Shell
- Cross Chop
- Stone Edge

Should I focus on Attack and HP, or replace HP with Speed? I can't decide. Maybe 252 Atk/252 Def/4 HP would be better?

Get a Jolly nature with maxed Atk/Speed, shellsmash once and do as much damage as you can as quickly as you can

Alright, I'll try it out. I find myself liking Barbaracle and Clawitzer a lot. They have pretty nice stats and good move pools. I wanna try using both of them.

Clawitzer@Choice Specs
Ability: Mega Launcher
Modest Nature
252 SpAtk/252 Spd/ 4 Hp
- Dragon Pulse
- Dark Pulse
- Aura Sphere
- Scald/Water Pulse
 
Bought a Weakness Policy for the fun of it, to see if I could maybe bait it with Mamoswine.

Meh. Doesn't seem to work well with Mamoswine at the moment. You can only switch in on unboosted fire moves, or non-stab 2x in some cases. Just not worth it on him I think even if a 2X boosted ice shard is amazing.

He's also such a key Pokemon in taking down big threats that putting him in unnecessary harm is almost always a loss.

Aegislash might be really good with it though. What about Metagross? I've never used him before and have no clue if he could survive any SE attacks in Gen 5.
 
Cause I'm sure someone would want it, here's an extra:

Is the base stats of a Dragalge enough to warrant it on the team, or is only its typing good? Might have been his IV's, but when I used him he felt rather.. lacklustre.

I'm kind of disappointed in Dragalge's stats. It's only good stat is Sp. Def, followed by Sp. Atk, but it's Speed is abysmal. I used one in the main game, and while it is somewhat useful for killing fairies, it's incredibly frail, and barely survived more than two hits for me.

The typing is the only thing it really has going for it, and that's only on the offensive side (Dragalgae is defensively specced.) It's usable but don't expect it to dominate.
 
Did the restaurant battle the other day and got some Big Mushrooms.

Are there any manics in the game to sell them to or do we sell these to the shop like everything else?

On another note:
SLOWPOKE TAILS?! THOSE FIENDS!
 
mixed up the last two digits should work now

It did. You've got fire - Fletchinder, Pyroar, and Growlithe.

If I breed a Male Pokemon with Carbink, can I get Carbinks?

Yes, provided that the male is in the same egg group. As long as you don't get "they prefer to play with other pokemon" it'll work. A Ditto will definitely work if you start struggling.

EDIT: Oh, Carbink is genderless? Well never mind.
 
No worries. I just hatched a pretty good Jolly Bagon anyway. I'm gonna rebreed for one with Moxie in the postgame so it didn't have to be perfect.

You can just have the Eevee for whatever if you want. Gotta keep spreading the love!

Will you be available in like 2 hours? I'm at work currently but I can hit a wifi hotapot if you are. I'll give ya a jolly 4 IV tyrunt if you would like.

Ok, because I don't know what I'm doing and adjusted a key team member, I need help again.

My current team looks like this

Ferrothorn-Stealth Rock Setter+Gyro Ball and Power Whip for coverage
Aegislash-Annoyance,Fighting Killer+Late game sweeper if main sweep fails
RestTalk Gyrados-Bulky water. Fire killer. Phazer.
Mega Lucario-Sword Dance build. Main sweeper
Sylveon-SDef Focused. Wish users. Dragon Slayer with Moonblast.

My old 6th was Jolteon, but now that I lack Blaziken's fire, I feel like I'm much better suited to something with fire coverage. The question is, what? I need something that can fill both the Special focused attacking slot of Jolteon and the fire-STAB of Blaziken. My initial though was Volcarona or Chandelure, but both those guys seem to require Sun support, something I don't really want to add. Any suggestions?
 
So I am currently training for the elite 4, trying to aim for level 70 and my team are currently at level 56-57.

I got a long night ahead of me.

Arcanine! You get a dark(crunch), priority(extremespeed), fireabsorbing death machine.

Not only that, but breed it with your Lucario (assuming it knows Close Combat) and it can get that, too. It helps to counter rock-types that otherwise laugh at Arcanine. If you'd rather not breed your Lucario, Zangoose gets Close Combat as well.

Edit: Oh, looking for a special fire? Never mind, then. I do second Magmortar, though. Volcarona's also a solid choice.

I once got a Ditto from Wonder Trade named Sasha Grey. Made me laugh.

Also, I have to go somewhere for a couple hours, but I have the Froakie giveaway/trade post ready to go for when I get back. Just a heads up. The Froakie's are all Hasty Nature with Protean, and they range from 3 perfect iv's to 5.... though i'm saving the 5 iv'ed Froakie's for people who are also trading their perfect iv'ed Pokemon.
 
It will give 50/60/70 if you hold the power item for a stat (Power Anklet, Power Weight, and etc.), not Macho Brace. Macho Brace will give you 20/40/60 (my math may be off here lol) EVs per horde battle.
Okay, I thought I was noticing less gain with macho brace. Thanks.
