Playing with MewTwo in Pokemon Amie is so very strange. Even when its happy to see you it looks pissed.

As far as I know, it always takes 5 IVs from both parents. You might get unlucky and have the few non-perferct IVs get picked. I'm honestly not 100% clear about the exact mechanics, but I do think destiny knot is "always 5" as opposed to the old way which I think was "up to" 3.

more like Stealth Rock, Edgequake, (Mega) Blaziken, Talonflame as a Blaziken counter, Aegislash, and Greninja

I think Togekiss might actually end up in Ubers as a heavy support unit with the new typing. Not enough Steel types to worry about, completely shuts down Garchomp, immediate advantage over Dragons which are crazy common in Ubers, large movepool, Serene Grace abuse, Roost for pure Fairy, etc.

Man, chasing down Zapdos is a pain in the ass.
Any tips? I can't exactly Fly because he goes to the other side of the map.

Can't remember if i posted this yet or not. I was walking around in Luminose and something caught my eye as I went past that really expensive Boutique there. I turned and realized there was a silhouette that just happened to look like our old glitchy pal.

Roost can at least handle the ice / electric weak and it gets Ancientpower iirc.
Mega Gengar could be a problem, yeah, but I think Togekiss could potentially tank a sludge bomb and then let off a Shadow Ball itself.

Does anyone keep getting connection errors about every 3 battles or so?

It took me about an hour to catch my Moltres, which seemed much quicker than some of the other methods I've seen. Obviously, you'll want to stock up on max repels. Then, just keep flying to Santalune City. If Zapdos is in a nearby route, use a max repel and race over in your bike. If he isn't, just fly to Santalune City again. The legendary birds seem to only really jump around the map when you fly. If you're merely riding your bike, they only tend to hop over to a nearby route on occasion, making them easy to chase down. It's up to you on what you consider a nearby route, but for my purposes it was 2-7 and 17-22.

huh Togekiss is surprisingly tanky, even after Stealth Rock it's still <20% chance of killing
(granted, I used a Sp. Def build)

Quick question. Is there any item introduced in X and Y that increases your Speed in battle? I'm going to try running an Imposter Ditto for the fun of it, and would like to guarantee outspeeding my opponents (Instead of getting a speed tie). I know that Choice Scarf is the main option, but wasn't sure if I missed something new that wouldn't lock me into one move.
Fucking Juan plaza and that stupid Lava Dome conversation.
This is grade-A gamefreak trolling right here.
On that note, I find it kinda funny that Bulletproof Chesnaught is immune to the biggest Poison threat and one of the most prominent phyiscal steel moves.
I'm curious as to how it will work with Regigigas.
I think he'll probably just stay napping.

I caught a shiny imposter Ditto several days ago. I know it sounds like it could be the best shiny pokemon you could possibly get, but it's actually the worst because it transforms into a regular version of the opposing pokemon as soon as it enters battle. So the shiny Ditto only gets about two seconds of facetime.
Here's the piece of shit I caught:
I *think* you can get them from breaking rocks, rarely. I found a normal gem somewhere, anyway.

How is it an imposter? Even if the Ditto is shiny, why would it become a shiny version of the pokemon it copies? Unless it's copying a shiny then it would make no sense.
Edit: I think it's a cool novelty shiny anyways.
Sylveon has a couple kinds of builds. She can either go semi-bulky special attacker or full-on special wall with some powerful offense. The offensive builds don't seem as viable as the defensive ones, to be honest. Offensive one usually are based on Calm Mind, Moonblast+a couple coverage special moves. Defensive builds come in a few kinds. They are typically either Wish based (possibly with baton pass) or Protect/Screen based. Defensive builds will also run moonblast, though, because that move is great and it allows her not only to be bulky, but hit dragons super hard as well.

Got my first online double battle .....aaaaand my team was destroyed.
So I was looking at the top 100's lists on Serebii, just to get an idea of what I may wanna look for. Saw a Rampardos in number 2 spot on Attack.. It's got god awful stats, except for the second highest attack in the game. Should that be avoided though, in favor of more well-rounded pokemon? Was thinking of using him as glass cannon with substitute in mind.
Because its ability is imposter...
Ah, I thought he was implying it was hacked in or was somehow not a legitimate Ditto lol

I run a Rampardos competitively! Here's my build:
Rampardos
@Choice Scarf
Adamant
252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
~Stone Edge
~Earthquake
~Fire Punch
~Zen Headbutt
If you can get some momentum going, the enemy team is as good as dead. Just be sure to get him out of there if he's in trouble!

God, soft-resetting for Zapdos is gonna be a pain in the ass. Not only do I have to SR for five good IVs (I know I get three 31 IVs but Zapdos needs everything but Attack to be good) but I have to SR for Hidden Power as well since he has no movepool.
I guess I could go for the TBolt/Sub/Toxic/Roost set.
Even with that giant attack he's terrible. I don't think much has changed for him this generation either.

yup, chain broke bc i reeled it in too soon
Good games. I'm guessing you have Assault vest on Goodra? I'm surprised those meteors didn't kill ;_;. Yeah, Pikachu and Mega Mawile definitely threw me off lol. Gonna rethink some stuff for my party.
What kind of build are you using for your Goodra?

No. It is RNGed when you pick up the egg.
Everything is determined when you get the egg.

the holder of the trombone
Prankster doesn't activate on the mega activation turn, so don't.
thank you both.
I want to optimize my approach for this, for obvious reasons
