The Ash Ketchum method to becoming a Pokemon Master: Release Pokemon as soon as they get strong and start winning battles for you.

I remember telling my friend over the phone that Ash released his Charizard and him yelling "That IDIOT!!"

We were way too old to care that much.
 
He broke a couple of ultraballs at the first check. And wiped my party because I had like 4 pokes weak to fly and he recovered a lot hp per attack.

Second time I just stalled and used a timer ball.
 
Sooo, is Misdreavus catchable in this game or am I gonna have to wait till December when the Pokebank opens? I have had no luck in the Friend Safari...
 
Beat Elite 4 today :). My Team:

Defeated Battle Chatelaine Nita with this team:

Flygon with an Expert Belt
-Draco Meteor
-Earth Power
-Flamethrower
-Rock Slide (filler)

Arcanine with Leftovers
-Flare Blitz
-Extreme Speed
-Wild Charge
-Close Combat

Hawlucha with Sitrus Berry (didn't use him)
-Hone Claws
-U-Turn
-High Jump Kick
-Acrobatics

Flygon brought Purugly down to low yellow health before he went down. Arcanine finished it off with Extreme Speed, then swept the rest with Flare Blitz. Time for a BP shopping spree.
Probably time for some new clothes, too.
 
Yeah definitely. I caught Yvetal in one Ultra Ball but Friend Safaris it's taken me more than 20 or so to catch some of the Pokemon that show up.

I wasted about 30 balls on a Zygarde that I soft-resetted anyway.
It was pure agony.

Nita's first team is really easy. I just had mediocre pokemon at the time. With this haxorus with only 3 perfect IVs and a life orb, I was able to sweep the team in mock battle.
 
So this is a strange dilemma I'm not sure many people have faced yet... I maxed out my friend list on my 3DS already. Added people in the safari thread, added people for giveaways, and added people off the safari spreadsheet. Some of the people I added haven't been very active or communicative, and/or have duplicate safaris or near duplicate safaris..

I'm wondering what the proper etiquette is about all this. I don't want to be "that guy" and delete people to make room for more people and different safaris, cause I'd feel like a jerk. But I do want to catch em all... :/

Thoughts?
 
Alright! Got the weavile that I want.

Now should I go through this breeding hell again for aggron...

Thank god I already have tyrantrum to breed stealth rock over.

Buy a second 3DS.

Are you close with the people? If not, I see no problem with ditching them. Always keep close friends on, though.

in Super or not, because the initial round is a joke
 
just caught a shiny relicanth and shiny clawitzer within 15 mins of each other.

this fishing chaining thing really works.

EDIT: and now a shiny horsea.
 
I remember I got killed int he beginner Maison with 3 EVd Pokemon because I got attracted. That, and I was using a lame Talonflame.

Can't afford it! :/

Yeah there are many peeps that are frequent o-power givers, or I've traded with or whatnot. Keeping them for sure!

Delete the inactives.

That was my first thought as well... But some of the people may just have extenuating circumstances in the present, and are in fact avid lovers of the game. I'd feel bad for leaving them high and dry lol. That being said... There are some users on my friend list that have no "last time logged in" at all. It's just blank. Is that indicative of them not having been logged in in a very long time, or just a setting they have to not show their last login?

Edit: Sorry for being off-topic! Doesn't really relate to Pokemon. >.< Just a circumstance because of it. lol
 
Just caught my 5th shiny of the day. 4 of them have been Goldeen.

Random oddity: Goldeen is one of the few Pokemon I always imagine saying its name as a cry in-game. It's simply ingrained up there.

Are people Wonder Trading around the same 5 Flabebes or what because god damn

Yeah, it's normally that bad. I got a bit lucky yesterday though, suprisingly few Flabebe, Bidoof and Pan monkeys.
 
So what is this fishing for shinies everyone is talking about and does anyone know what the move electrify does ? (and is it worth waiting to evolve for it)
 
Alright, got a sneasel giveaway. Don't have that much seeing that I got what I wanted relatively quickly, but still have a few.

Guaranteed to have at least superior potential with 1 and 2 perfect IVs, but at least you're guaranteed to not have the pain in the ass problem of breeding 3 moves into it from 3 different pokemon. :P They have ice shard, pursuit and icicle crash.

If you want them just add me, FC is 5000 2377 2427. I think I have about 6-7.

I'll take one. :]

The cover legendaries probably have higher capture rates than most of the Pokemon that show up later.

Doesn't seem like it so far, I caught *post game spoilers*
Zygarde
and did exactly the same as Xerneas, get it to low health and then about 5 ultra balls

With
Mewtwo
I couldn't be bothered since it has recover so I just threw a master ball at it
 
I think somebody was having fun with Wonder Trade earlier. Since all my boxes are full of goddamn charmanders (700+ and still no shiny) I wonder traded a box. Ended up with 2 Snorlax's in there, one was called Honchkrow and the other GAAAAAAAY.
 
Day two of the giveaway, and I still have plenty more Smeargles to hand out. Dittos are overrated, fellas; Smeargles are what should be truly treasured in the breeding scene.

Gender: Male
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Technician
Perfect IVs: 4 guaranteed, some with 5 (note: none are in Sp. Attack)
Poke Ball Cosmetic: Poke Ball (unimportant as they're all male)

4398-9604-6699

If you want a Smeargle, quote this post while listing your friend code and your character name. You can give me any shitmon--I only ask you leave me on your friends list so I can take advantage of your Friend Safari. Chances are that I'll be doing more giveaways in the future of some sort, so it'll be easier to keep me on your list regardless.

If you still have some, I'll take one,
My FC:5000-3009-5859
Name is Crimson.
Whats a good place to use Smeargle's Sketch?
