Ah well. Time to dump it to rot in the box.

"Daddy, why don't you love me?"
"Well, you're not completely perfect in every way, so I simply don't have the right or capacity to love you. Terribly sorry NOW GET IN THE DAMN BOX."

Not so jolly anymore, is she?

Ok, for this one, maybe i'm reading a litlle too far into it or i didn't simply understand it all but I have to ask xD

For EV trained Pokemons, do you have to get them lvl 100 to get the full effect of your EV training ?

252 EV in a stat, that's actually 63 points more at level 100 given bit by bit at every level-up.

If you only level your Pokemon to level 50 for Battle Subway / Random Online are you sure you get the same boost that if you'd have levelled it to lvl100 and let the game scale it back to 50 ?

Re: Pan/simi conversation

Thanks for clearing that up on the last page. Those 6 monkeys always drove me crazy because when I think of "pan" I think of the Greek prefix meaning of "all" and when I hear "simi" (well, "semi"), I think of the Latin prefix meaning of "half."

Re: Inventory scrolling

Press R or L for quick scrolling. This works in most, if not all scrollable menus, too.

You're not going to be getting 63 points at level 50, but you will be getting the "full effect".

Ability? those IVs aren't bad, but if it has Sand Force then the thing's worthless.

Excellent. Adament would be the preferred nature (Jolly really only helps in outspeeding other Excadrills. With Sand Rush, Excadrill has effectively a 176 base speed in sandstorm), but that is a solid IV spread, having 16 or higher in every stat that matters.

Give it 252 EVs in attack/speed and a moveset of Swords Dance/Earthquake/Rock Slide, and either X-Scissor, Return, or hell, even rapid spin as a 4th move, and go to town. :)

You could also go for the full super-effective coverage with Earthquake/Rock slide/X-Scissor/Return, but I would recommend a swords dance set since you're not adament. a great deal of pokemon will be a 2 or 3 hit KO even without swords dance though.

Hey! I'm looking for someone with some of the previous gen starters.

I can breed my own starters from Diamond but not from others =[.

I've caught my own Ditto in Black now so I can offer stuff back rather than taking pokemon and giving lillipups =D!

Edit: Also would be great if someone could help me evolve-trade my Feebas, you don't need max happiness anymore right?

Fail. :(

Edit: Well, the jolly nature will help you with the speed, but it would be preferable to have +100% speed in sandstorm rather than +10% speed overall and +30% power to rock, steel, and ground attacks in sandstorm.


hmm.....


Try giving your excadrill a life orb and the full-coverage set I mentioned. You should put it down, though :(

With a life orb, all moves will get a 30% power boost. In a sandstorm, this will stack with the 30% boost you get for earthquake and rock slide.


to summarize, try the following set:

Excadrill w/ Life Orb (Jolly)
Ability: Sand Force (lol)
Earthquake
Rock Slide
X-Scissor
Return
EVs: 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 4 HP

It never evolved with happiness, did it? It evolved with beauty, which isn't a stat any more. :p It needs to be traded with a Prism Scale to evolve.

What level are they? Is it better than doing e4 runs?
Click to expand...

Straight after the Elite 4 they're between 62 and 65. I've started seeing 67s since I've been frequently visiting though, I'm assuming they get tougher over time.

Often there's a Doctor in Big Stadium who uses a Level 65 Audino. Needless to say, he's the best thing in the game.

I'm not sure either. Do you plan on a Sub/Leech Seed abuse set? If so I see why you'de be worried about it lacking Def.

Man, like 70 to 80% of all Wi-Fi Battle Subway teams use a Garchomp.... then again, so do I. Haven't found one so far that moves first compared to mine.

considering you'll want to play it defensively or as an annoyer Att and Speed (because of it's ability) are pretty useless, and you'll definitely want a good HP/Def/SpDef so ... keep going xD

On another note I was trying to find videos on Youtube and ingame with someone that uses this pokemon well with an interesting move-set, but I had no luck ... and the subseeder set seems quite lackluster considering it's poor HP and defenses.

Desperatly trying to find myself a good support pokemon that I like xD

Actually, low HP is a positive feature for subseeders. And yeah, I think I'll keep breeding.

Got a pretty good trade before. Level 37 female Charizard for what appears to be a legit Japanese lv50 Resharim.

Also, what is the best way to "see" legendary pokemon and version exclusives so that I can at least add them to the seen part of my dex so I can try and trade for them later on the GTS?

Does anyone have a minute to trade-evo my Haunter?

EDIT: I just got a shiny Chikorita for a Tepig on the GTS Negotiations. It's probably a hack, since he also offered me a Totodile in a Master Ball. :p Though the Chikorita doesn't have anything suspicious about it.

Oh wow. Just on Route 3 and noticed that additional layers are added to the music when you move as opposed to standing still. It's little touches like these that make you go :D

Hey, Shiny's a shiny. :p
So has the thread survived the community exodus or is that planned for tonight still?

Even if I do subscribe, It'll be the same 10 or so people posting instead of the usual amount we get. Going to community is sentencing this thread to a slow miserable death. :'(
