Steel does resist fairy

on the other hand, Fairy does NOT resist fairy

 

[Pegosaurus]

Steel does resist fairy

Ok cool, so Klefki should be good for swapping into Fairy/Ice type moves to protect Chomp

 

[SenorArdilla]

Well, there's:

Spoiler

Xerneas/Yvetal (Version Exclusive)
Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres (If you picked Chespin/Fenneken/Froakie)

Trainer Red
Need one asap!

 

[equippedwithtowel]

I have a Heracross, but it's not IV bred. (Just the two from the Safari) Is that alright?

And Adamant would be nice.

Hercross sounds fine , only adamant is being trained by me but I've got a bunch more on the wa

 

[Korosenai]

As an all out special attacker?

Sludge Bomb--Bye fairies
Dragon Pulse/Draco Meteor
Scald/Surf/Hydro Pump
Thunderbolt

What kind of ev spread and nature?

 

[Quest1]

Found another one with 5 31 IVs but with Torrent. Ok, I guess I could give this to someone along with a Female Protean Froakie with 4 31 IVs...Perfect breeding couple. First one to quote will receive them.

Did I win them? I can give you a 3IV Speed Torchic. 3024 5265-5661

 

[SkullHydra]

Hercross sounds fine , only adamant is being trained by me but I've got a bunch more on the wa

Then any Nature is alright with me. =]

My trainer name is Merick. Just start the trade whenever.

 

[YoungMoney]

Sorry, I've been breeding all this time and no Marvel Scale Dratinis have hatched :\

If the father has Marvel Scale and the mother has Shed Skin, is there any chance the offspring will have Marvel Scale, or have I been doing it all wrong all along?

Have no idea. Thanks for trying anyway.

 

[Chopper]

Do not all Pokemon have hidden abilities? I'm not seeing one for Ferroseed/thorn...

 

[Delio]

Anyone have a Super Sized Gourgeist? I have Gale wing Fletchlings and a few Magician Fennekins.

 

[ffdgh]

Just noticed my eevee didn't have it's hidden ability when I evolved it to espeon... ._.

Good thing jolteon is an option.

[Pegosaurus]

If you really like the shiny, go for it. In using my Shiny Honedge, even though it's DEF is kind of terrible. It's all about having fun. (Although shiny Garchomp isn't very noticeable...)

Yeah, I mean I'm not sure the exact number of the Def. IV. The Gible is at lvl 12 right now. Does anyone know when the next best level to put the stats into the calculator would be? If it's less than 20 (maybe 25), I might box it(after seeing what Shiny Mega Chomp looks like), although I'm not sure how much more defense 31 IV is than 20 IV. (Speaking of MegaChomp, where do I get Garchompite?)

 

[Minister of the Dog]

Have no idea. Thanks for trying anyway.

I have one for you now.

Also, Anteo, I tried to trade with you several times but it said you were unavailable every time :\

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Are you Postgame?
You can head to the Battle Institute(save in another town before going in) where they will upscale your pokemon to 50.

 

[mapachealocado]

Guys, I have like 10+ Adamant Charmanders with Dragon Dance and Outrage. They have 3 varying perfect IVs. Anyone wants one? I don't need anything in return but some HA Pokemon for breeding later would be good o:

 

[SkullHydra]

(Speaking of MegaChomp, where do I get Garchompite?)

The difference is the number itself. 20 IVs is a total of 11 stat points behind one with perfect IVs, once the Pokémon becomes level 100.

And Garchompite is in Victory Road behind a Rock Smashable wall.

 

[Pegosaurus]

Yeah. Where's the Battle Institute? Or do you mean the Maison

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Yeah. Where's the Battle Institute? Or do you mean the Maison

North Side of Lumiose(I think)

 

[equippedwithtowel]

Yeah. Where's the Battle Institute? Or do you mean the Maison

The north end of lumoise.

 

[Pegosaurus]

North Side of Lumiose(I think)

Ok, I'll go check it out.

Also, thanks for the info SkullHydra

 

[Niraj]

Tie for me between Laverre and Geosenge (for its music alone).

Same here.

 

[SkullHydra]

Well Towel, it doesn't look like this is going to work out. So many connection errors... =/

I've checked my internet connection, so I think it might be on your end.

EDIT: It worked! Thanks man.

 

[Wookieomg]

So I was wondering if anyone could help me out with building a team for online play. I want to have fun with it, but I also want to learn about tactics and strategies and movesets that are powerful together... Is there a guide or a primer somewhere? I've tried googling and looking on smogon but it's all quite overwhelming.

 

[Sami+]

Rough draft of my team finally done. What do you guys think?

Ferrothorn (Lead) @ Big Root – Relaxed, 252 HP/48 Def/208 SpD
Stealth Rock
Leech Seed
Power Whip
Thunder Wave

Gengar @ Gengarite – Modest, 252 SpA/252 Spd/4 HP
Shadow Ball
Destiny Bond
Thunderbolt
Sludge Bomb

Tyranitar (Jolly) @ Life Orb –
Dragon Dance
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Crunch

Starmie – Offensive Rapid Spin
Surf
Psyshock
Ice Beam
Rapid Spin

Aegislash @ Leftovers – 252 Atk/252 HP
Kings Shield
Shadow Sneak
Iron Head
Swords Dance

Azumarill @ Splash Plate – Adamant, 168 HP/252 Atk/4 Def/84 Spe
Aqua Jet
Play Rough
Waterfall
Belly Drum


I was debating using Klefki or Espeon for leads because of their abilities, but decided to just go Ferrothorn for the Stealth Rock.

I'd really appreciate some input.

 

[Sora_N]

Finally got a Modest Xerneas!

I didn't even play yesterday, just reset 10 times. 2nd try this morning.

Xerneas - #716 (Modest)
HP: 20 - 21
Att: 28 - 31
Def: 30 - 31
SpA: 30 - 31
SpD: 8 - 9
Speed: 20 - 21

SpD kind of sucks, don't really care anymore though. Just wanted a nice one.

 

[Bulbasaur]

Toxic becomes just regular poison if you switch out and back, right?

I want an item that disperses toxic in the event of fainting that stops the opponent from switching. Is that op? Not really, it's like that song that makes you both faint.

 

[Mr-Joker]

Here's my Pokémon team that carried me through;

Can I say that Stunfisk was amazing.

 

[SkullHydra]

Nope, it stays Toxic. It just resets the 'counter' when they switch out.

Lol it's like pick the odd man out

For Aegislash, is there any particular reason for iron head over sacred sword? It's a little harder to take out fairies, but you'd have an easier time dealing with

On Azumarrill, why splash plate over choice band? Or even the new Belly Drum set?

 

[Bulbasaur]

Good to know. TY

My Aegislash has King's Shield | Iron Head | Shadow Sneak | Sacred Sword. Works wonderfully.

 

[Busaiku]

That's it, I'm gonna run Flareon.

 

[Kokonoe]

That's it, I'm gonna run Flareon.

Heck yeah.

 

[SkullHydra]

My Aegislash has King's Shield | Iron Head | Shadow Sneak | Sacred Sword. Works wonderfully.

No Sword Dance? Do you run an Adamant 252 HP/ATK set?

 

[Rflagg]

I know it has been asked before, but in a thread this big it would be hard to find, what is the best method for grinding exp post game?

Not sure i want to jump into the world of breeding just now, but i do enjoy evolving Pokemon.

 

[ffdgh]

That's it, I'm gonna run Flareon.

Smite thy enemies with flare blitz.

 

[spindashing]

I couldn't go without Swords Dance on Aegislash.

It's way too fun.

 

[Anilusion]

Wooo! After about 150 eggs I get my first shiny:

Still haven't gotten one with the IVs I want though 31/31/31/31/31/30

 

[Antiwhippy]

My Aegislash has King's Shield | Iron Head | Shadow Sneak | Sacred Sword. Works wonderfully.

Man, no sword dance for that insane damage?

 

[Chezzymann]

Man, I can't beat anyone online. Everyone is an expert and has super crazy strategies. I even lost to a dude who's pokemon were all 10 levels lower than me because he was so good with strategy. Ugh.

 

[Anteo]

Ty for the Dratini Minister of the Dog

 

[emb]

My Aegislash has King's Shield | Iron Head | Shadow Sneak | Sacred Sword. Works wonderfully.

I suppose he has the stats to hit hard even unboosted. But he's so vulnerable after attacking, I'd be way more comfortable swords dancing first, even with steel's pretty good stab neutral coverage. (Sounds like you've tested it though, and I haven't, so you're probably right).

 

[Quest1]

So I'm having the worst time getting eggs. once you pick up the egg from the guy it gets RNG'd, right? So if i save, hatch, check, and then soft reset if the hatch sucks, it'll give me a different result?

Also, thanks Kibou for the Charmander, it's gonna make breeding for Charizard so much faster.

Oh yeah, forgot about Belly Drum. Edited. I'll use that. And I had just picked Iron Head for the STAB, really. Though I guess if I'm running Swords Dance anyway the extra coverage would be better?

 

[SkullHydra]

Wooo! After about 150 eggs I get my first shiny:


Still haven't gotten one with the IVs I want though 31/31/31/31/31/30

Congrats man!!! It took me over 200 eggs to get my shiny Honedge.

Are those it's stats? Mine got the short end of the stick with less than 6 DEF IVs. It has perfect HP, ATK, and SpD though, so I'm happy.

 

[Regiruler]

I need to start project Aegis (really just Bulletproof Chesnaught), and I have a feeling it will be far more painful than project delta.

 

[Aggrotek]

Anyone have a foreign Shroomish/Breloom?

Edit: Nvm found one.
