Gotta love hatching power level 3 with flame body. It really speeds things up.

Wait, wait, wait.

Where do you get this hatching power?

 

[Wichu]

I've heard you can kill it and then come back right after, and have it so you can soft reset, see it's nature and all that without watching cutscenes. Try it and see if it works.

There's a forced cutscene and battle immediately after you capture it. However, you get the option to add it to your party, so you can check its stats in that battle (you can figure out the nature by seeing which stats are above/below the maximum/minimum neutral stats).

Follow up question, I understand you can change natures now? Or was it abilities? Can you do that with legendaries?

It's abilities, and only if the Pokémon has two non-hidden abilities (i.e. it doesn't work for legendaries).

This is my preferred IV calculator, and it even supports Gen 6!

 

[Berordn]

Wait, wait, wait.

Where do you get this hatching power?

Max out your style in Lumiose City and Mr. O starts hanging out in one of the cafes to give it to you.

If a Pokemon has two regular abilities you can switch between them by using an item that costs

post game.
So if a legendary has two possible abilities, yeah, you could switch between them.
It doesn't do Hidden Abilities, though.

Awesome, internet connection disconnects every five minutes after update. WHY NINTENDO WHY

Is it a one time use item? If so that sucks big time considering all the battles you have to do to get one.

 

[Lightning Lord]

Another one will fall off the original tree eventually, but it can take a few days.

Thanks, I appreciate the answer!

 

[Jarekx]

Well got a modest goomy off wonder trade. Guess I'll try to build that Assault Vest Goodra.

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

One-use. It's a ripoff in most cases but if you have a perfect IV Shiny Pokemon with the wrong ability I could see it coming in handy

 

[Forkball]

Do IVs affect soccer ball powerups in super training? My perfect attack IV Heracross has a green soccer ball logo and does massive damage with limited EV training. I've also seem faster balls and multi-balls.

 

[Minister of the Dog]

Thanks Dandy Crocodile and Wichu! That's a lot of points however...

 

[Antiwhippy]

Goddamnit.

I didn't realise that haxorus's best moves are locked behind the move tutor in BW.

Ah well, I'll still make use of what I have.

 

[saveweyard]

I need a good Pokemon-catching Pokemon. Parasect still good? Anyone have him in their friend safari?

 

[Forkball]

Goddamnit.

Same problem here. Every time I want to train a Pokemon, it turns out it has a hidden nature or move tutor only moves. BLEH

 

[ImpassionateGods]

I was thinking about swapping out my Charizard for Gengar, but I'm worried if it's a mistake to have two ghost-types on my team. Mega Charizard has been endlessly frustrating because his ability powers up physical moves and all my good moves are special.

Also is there anywhere besides random passerby battles where you even get to use six pokemon? I don't understand the point of building a team of six if I'm always going to have to use three.

 

[spindashing]

Same problem here. Every time I want to train a Pokemon, it turns out it has a hidden nature or move tutor only moves. BLEH

Aw, crap, I forgot all about this.

Isn't there a Move Tutor in XY? I had hoped that this guy would teach everything...

 

[Antiwhippy]

Actually, you know what, with there being the fairy type now I probably should think of alternatives anyway so haxorus doesn't get completely walled by fairies.

I predict more than a few dragons will run poison jab. Which is covered by mawile anyway, so that's one that they have to worry about.

 

[emb]

I recommend Gallade. Mean Look, Thunder Wave/Hypnosis, False Swipe, and then some other move to do a bit more damage if needed. It's served me well in the past.

Aw, crap, I forgot all about this.

Isn't there a Move Tutor in XY? I had hoped that this guy would teach everything...

None very interesting. Just the normal Draco Meteor guy, and the guy to teach starters their version of Draco Meteor. And the move rememberer. But I think that's pretty much it...

 

[Unicorn]

I've beaten the game but hatching power is one I haven't found yet. Where do you get it?

Also, is levelling up a power as simple as using it again and again?

Wait, wait, wait.

Where do you get this hatching power?

Serebii says to max style and he'll be in Cafe Introversion in Lumiose. I don't see him there, so I think you also need all the other powers first.

Gengar >>>> Charizard. Do it.

I'm actually wearing my Gengar shirt today

Randomly caught a 31 Atk, Def, Sp Def... Vivillon

Same problem here. Every time I want to train a Pokemon, it turns out it has a hidden nature or move tutor only moves. BLEH

Or event-only moves, or moves that you could only get in a previous generation.

I can't believe I'm saying this but the unbroken transfers are slowly ruining this game for me.

Aw, crap, I forgot all about this.

Isn't there a Move Tutor in XY? I had hoped that this guy would teach everything...

No it looks like it will be 3rd game material for the 5th gen in a row -_-

I really wish they'd start keeping all the third-game features instead of stripping them out and putting them back in every. single. time.

 

[Forkball]

There are random move tutors that teach specific moves, but not one that teaches one Pokemon numerous moves. GOTTA SAVE SOMETHING FOR POKEMON Z ONLY $40 NOW WITH MORE HATS

I would buy Z if I can remove the hat.

Where would I go to know what my style is?

 

[spindashing]

Damn it, that really sucks...

I think that, Lumiose City's camera + glitch, and the bad 3D framerate are my only complaints for the game...

Where would I go to know what my style is?

I'm not sure how to check that but an easy way to max it out is to buy 99 Premier balls in the Pokeball boutique at Lumiose.

Buy them one by one and not all at once.

Edit: Also activate Bargain Power level 3 before buying!

 

[Fury Sense]

So.... anyone else get the Comet Shard from

Spoiler

Anistar City

yet? That was pretty depressing.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Goddamnit.

Yeah, I hate that there isn't a proper move tutor in XY, oh well, the next game will probably have one.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Where would I go to know what my style is?

I don't think there is a visible meter...

Aside from buying balls from the Poke Ball Boutique one-by-one, there are various things you can do to increase 'style' - this image explains most of them.

 

[Sigmaah]

So when can I get the homies piplup and chimchar? I seriously need them lmao.

 

[upandaway]

Anyone else updated? I did but I'm too scared to find out.

 

[toastyToast]

Gengar >>>> Charizard. Do it.

I'm actually wearing my Gengar shirt today

That shirt is amazing.

Gengar is so good. Hits like a truck and when he's in Mega form, holy shit!

I like when you idle in battle it zooms into his face like 3 times in a row, always cracks me up. Oh yeah, Gengar in Pokemon Amie!

 

[ArchedThunder]

[theprodigy]

Where would I go to know what my style is?

when you can buy the other two Mega Stones for 10k, you've maxed out (it starts at 500k I believe?)

 

[Starwolf_UK]

My thought about move tutor or event exclusive stuff is either make them egg moves after a few gens or just illegal (some of them might be a bit broken for general gameplay). But I'm sure "no to paid DLC" will be buy another game for some new egg moves, including a few of those like Pay Day Skitty...

Oh yeah this was the Gen V bad words list. Maybe a few more are added in Gen VI...

So what happens if I name my gen 3 trainer one of those things? When you think like that, Pokebank becomes a lot less simple than you previously thought...

Where would I go to know what my style is?

I heard that if the shushi place does not kick you out then you have enough to get the egg hatching power.

If in doubt you can always use bargain level 3 and buy premier balls one at a time (and then sell them all back for the same cost) too boost style..

 

[Sigmaah]

Nooooooooooooooo! I wanna use them now, lame. I love Empoleon too much. Penguin EMPEROR.

 

[NEO0MJ]

It starts at 1 million.

Is Tyrunt's evolution good because he's sucking for me right now and i'm contemplating getting rid of him.

Maybe

its counter part the ice one which I chose started out awful, then started to wreck shit after it evolved.

I had my price at 50k and I was still able to get the power.

I need this so bad... Any chance u can get another one (or is it an annoying process?) and I can trade u something? haven't had time to breed myself :< school/work sucks lol.

 

[spindashing]

...I paid 100,000 to stay at Hotel Richissime.

I think I have made a grave mistake.

 

[Forkball]

Wonder Traded 10 Heracrosses. My results:

Ponyta
Skorupi (my first German Pokemon!)
Pidgey
Ducklett
Honedge
Hawlucha
Spinda
Staravia
Drifloom
Trapinch

At least the Staravia is new.

Gengar >>>> Charizard. Do it.

I've got the same shirt! I love it.

Finally got my Larvesta to evolve, now I need to actually use Volcarona. Makes me sad I missed Black and White since those games had some awesome designs. At least this game has a ton of those Pokemon.

 

[Zelias]

I predict more than a few dragons will run poison jab. Which is covered by mawile anyway, so that's one that they have to worry about.

I run Poison Jab on my Haxorus. Quite funny when people think to counter it with Fairies, especially if I've got one or two Dragon Dances under my belt.
