The smiles of my girlfriend and my Pokémon are worth three stars to me.
Heh heh. What do you think? That line was totally worth three stars, right?

Either that or timid, depending on its role in the team and its moveset.
If a pokemon can be acquired in the friend safari that would be the best place. Otherwise it's either through an event or the dream world, which unfortunately isn't available for X/Y yet.

Remember, it is like Fire Emblem. The AI is not trying to win. It is just trying to make you lose.
Someone in battle mansion had it I would guess. That is how the contrary Surperior and whatever Milotics secret ability were seen.
Time to give Sableye some extra speed...

I suck at battling competitively, BUT I love IV breeding. It may be tedious getting all the IVs you need but once you get those perfect IVs it's a good feeling.

I'd say any nature boosting his speed. His sp. attk is pretty killer already and more speed gives him more chances to set up quiver dance.
Once you find out that best strategy is being as offensive as you can all the time, it's not too hard to get long streaks. At some point, you just have to hope the AI doesn't specifically draw up a team that counter-types yours or cheat that often.
Horde training, especially with PokeRus, is by far the fastest way to go. You're math seems to be right as well. Go for it.
Wow so after only 5 horde encounters I'll be at 250. That is amazing. Thank you
I just tried my hand at the Battle Spot for the first time. Did 3 battles, won 2. Very satisfying experience!
All were Japanese. First guy had the worst Rotom-W which Volt Switched in and out. Annoying. Lost to him.
Second guy started out with a Pinsir. I knew he'd mega evolve it so I Ice Beamed him with Greninja. Fainted. Heliosk. I knew this was gonna be fun. Spikes. Greninja now Ground type. Heliosk uses Thunder. Not effective. Mwhahaha! U-Turn takes half his HP. Switches in Mawile (mega) and finishes him with Sucker Punch. Last one is Slurpuff. He uses Play Rough on Mawile, I finish him with Iron Head. Yesss
Last guy had a Mega Garchomp which my Togekiss finished with Dazzling Gleam. So satisfying!

Yep. You get 1 EV for each of the 5 defeated, 4 EVs more if you're holding a power item. That's 25. PokeRus doubles that to 50 per horde. Just grab someone that knows surf and a sweat scent pokemon and you'll max out a pokemon in like 5 minutes or less.
Yeah, the maison is the place where the hidden abilities of pokemon unavailable in the safari can be discovered. It's the reason I didn't start breeding Skrelp yet, why breed Skrelp with poison touch when we can can Skrelp with Adaptability later?

Ok, so I'm going for my first ever perfect Pokemon, and have decided on Klefki, can anyone tell me if I've got this right?
1. Catch a Klefki from the Friend Safari with 2+ perfect IVs
2. Catch a Ditto from Friend Safari with 2+ differing perfect IVs
3. Breeding with both holding Destiny Knots until I get one with Bold nature and perfect IVs
4. EV train in HP and Defence
5. Win?

People called Romanes they go the house?
Multiple destiny knots don't matter afaik, and between steps 3 and 4, you'll need one more ditto with at least the 5th stat perfect (if you want a true 'perfect' kid) depending on how long you take with the RNG of which stats the kid is allocated, but yes, that is right.

So how do I get more chances to get a shiny in the safari zone? I tried to use the poke radar but its not working.

Correct me if I am wrong, but only one Destiny Knot would work at a time?
If this was me (and it will be me because I do intend to breed Klefki), I wouldn't even use Ditto if Klefki were available in the friend safari. I'll try to catch one with the nature that I need, first and foremost. It'll make hatching eggs quicker if both parents were of the same species. Let the one with the nature that you need hold an everstone and let the other Klefki hold destiny knot.
You mate the two parents until you have a child with all four perfect IVs of the parents. Then find another Klefki with IVs in the stats you're missing and mate that one with the Four IV'd one. If you're lucky, you would have made another child with the IVs that you're missing.

If it is not an egg move, you transfer one taught it from from BW (i.e. the answer to your question is you don't). BS I know but at least it isn't Softboiled Clefable or something from Pokemon XD (e.g. follow me Magmar).

I don't think you could teach it Ice Punch: You'll have to breed it into an Elekid's moveset.
Breed a female Electabuzz with a male Medicham/Hitmonchan that knows Ice Punch. The child will come out knowing Ice Punch from it's daddy.
the game is amazing
really glad with all the improvements
i hopped the battle with AZ will be more challenging then that, i imaging it i am gonna beat his first 3 pokemon , then all that was like a joke and the real battle start now with six pokeon , each one is level 70

Trade it for a Bidoof.
WTF....
WTH is a Pokerus?
You mean I don't have to fight 240 rats like I did for my Togekiss anymore like I did in Pearl?
Gotta get this game.

Those days are over.
You don't have to fight that many with Pokérus -- a virus that your Pokémon can contract, which doubles your EV gains.
Coupled with Power Items that add 4 EVs to every Pokémon you defeat, you can finish fully training your Pokémon during commercial breaks when watching TV.
i traded bidoof for torchic in GTS
Pokerus is a rare virus that's been around since Gen II. Sometimes, a pokemon you catch will be randomly infected by it. It's a rather low chance. The good thing, though, is you can spread it to any party member by having them battle next to them. That means you can trade for it rather easily. Once you have it, it doubles the amount of EVs you get for a certain number of battles.
Oh... that sucks lol. How would I be able to keep the Nature on my male Electabuzz now then? I guess I have to breed a female Elekid first then try and get a male one afterwards

So after getting some very nice Honedges given to my by Anilusion I grabbed my own Japanese Honedge and have started on the path to shininess.
But these damn swords are popping out eggs faster than I can hatch them.
Anyone wanna help a bro out with a Hatching O-Power? :3

I thought it continued to double the EVs even after they were cured. Was I misinformed?

Is there a way to determine which camera angle you get in the Pokemon center? I think is has to do with pressing on the d-pad but I can't really replicate it. It's such a neat worthless feature.
Just looked that up. Yep, you're right. I was slightly misinformed. "Cured" just means they can't spread it. They still get Double EVs.
Finally got a Gooey Goomy from the GTS! I've been looking for one for a while now. Just need to train one again and insert it on my Battle Maison team and switch things up to see if it will be effective.
I have to fucking pray for rain again in order to evolve the thing into a Goodra! fml

Breed the Electabuzz that you have with a Ditto, let your Electabuzz hold an Everstone and make a female Elekid.
After going through this thread I'm so glad my ultimate Poké Goal is to "catch them all" (tm). Competitive battling/breeding is not my idea of fun, but I'm glad it's there for those who enjoy it.
On the note of the thrill of the catch I'm only 100 short of regional completion with all legendaries captured thanks to the scyther/metal coat thing. I'll be personally hunting for the rest minus the version exclusives.
Once the bank goes live I'll only need to catch a few from gen 3 to have ALL the (non event only) pokémon!

What is this?
Just keep hitting the default bag on the ST string and hope to get lucky. They're rare, but not that rare. It usually doesn't take me more than 2-3 minutes of bag punching to get one.
Given how highly desired Scizor is in the current meta, people have figured out if you steal a metal coat from a Magneton in the lost hotel and catch a scyther, you can get just about anything for it in return on the GTS. Just make sure you have a compound eyes pokemon in front of your party to make finding Magnetons that actually carry Metal Coats far more common.

People are willing to trade anything for Scizor, including legendaries.
