I like Sky Pillar; it was a fun puzzle dungeon. You just have to remember to bring Max Repels.
Ouch.

I don't like puzzles that test reaction time. Sky Pillar wasn't hard per-say, but having to use the Mach Bike to make tight turns was annoying.

Super repel! More cost effective.
I loved the addition of a prompt to use another when the one in use is depleted in Black/White 2. Hope that remains in X/Y.

Both of them would probably make weird pets in more ways than one. That's all I'll say on this matter.

Slurpuff has got to be one of the most adorably whimsical names I've ever heard. I'm not gonna click the link since I want to remain in the dark, but I'm assuming its appearance is just as cute as its name.

The 3D models made me once more think again - I now like Swirlix evo over Spritzee's evo.
Are you restricted by tiers?
Not really, but a gentleman's agreement.

Does the Ambipom have Fake Out? If so use something with Inner Focus which prevents flinching like Lucario which can take down Ambipom with Aura Sphere then use Ice Punch on Swellow.

Yes fakeout destroys my kecleon on my Trick Room team.

If you're doing Trick Room, Lucario will be slower than both of them anyway. You could also go for Dragonite as that also has Inner Focus and has access to both Brick Break and Ice Punch for super effective moves on both of them.
Ah. I was about to suggest Lucario.
The combination is very hard to defend against due to the variety of moves they both have. If they don't have a choice scarf, Scarf Hitmonlee might be able to whack ambipom with mach punch and hit swellow hard with rock slide or stone edge.
You'll probably want a second opinion since I'm not very experienced with UU.

Anybody have any suggestions?
1."Type cheesing" is how you're supposed to do it.Certain leaders are very difficult even with them. (Damned Clayton) The main gives you only so many options and you need to make the most of what it gives you.
Are you fighting all the trainers along the way? Those are going to give you the bulk of your experience and you shouldn't need to grind that much afterward.
2. This sounds like a more fundamental problem. Trying to raise too many pokemon bogs you down. There's absolutely no reason to try and use more than 5-6 pokemon throughout the story. Most pokemon's movepools are just varied enough to use 2-3 types. 3-4 pokemon (optimal for pre-gen V where lucky egg is rare) with at least 2 move types and minimal redundant typing is almost guaranteed to hit the vast majority of the type combinations for at least neutral damage and resist a healthy amount of types. It's usually optimal to lock down a roster by the 5th gym, after that and you're likely to be playing catch-up with the new guy.
Thanks for this.
Regarding training, I pretty much make it a mission to battle every random trainer. Often times I'll sweep just to give my higher levels a good edge and then when theyre sitting pretty, I'll try struggle battling with my lower level mons. Sometimes it works and gives them healthy EXP (alot of potions wasted...), other times they get knocked out and I finish with my team leaders.
So I guess my question was pretty simple. I think what I was really trying to ask is how do you train during the post-game? Most of the trainers are battled out so unless you have a VS Seeker, Wild Pokemon and Elite Four EXP runs are all you really have...
Okay, so Im not crazy. I've always used a team of 6 to 8 max. Often swapping if I come across something in the wild around the same level but it depends.. My biggest issue was type variance as you say. Doubling up on pokemon types and on top of that... Having them retain the same move types!! Ugh... my childhood habits have bled through to my older days... This is all I saw on my Ruby version the other day....
I had a Huntail with 3 water moves and Crunch... Why??? Lol, I gotta spread it out more.
PSA: When X & Y launch, I'll be supplying Froakie and Squirtle babies to whoever wants em. First, Im looking for Chespins, Fennekins, Bulbasaurs, and Charmanders. After that I'll let you know what Im looking for in return.
Do you regularly shuffle the exp share around and let the weak pokemon lead so you can switch them out?
As far as postgame goes it's pretty difficult because in most games once you hit about 70 the EXP dries up everywhere except the championship. HG/SS/Platinum have the Gym leader rematches, which are a pain to earn but are the most productive, and B2W2 has daily trainer battles with various NPC's, as well as a very profitable E4. Trading pokemon across games so that they get the EXP bonus is also a good idea, and careful management of the lucky egg will let your pokemon level up fairly quickly as well.
It took me until Diamond to realize move variety was important. A couple of pokemon are almost always worthwhile because of their amazing movepools. Lucario, Gallade, Gardevoir Eelektross, Togekiss, Crobat, Gengar, Starmie and Sigilyph have 3 moves minimum that give decent coverage. (Gallade in particular has access to usable moves from 15 types with the help of a move tutor, and Starmie is one of the few good pokemon with access to both ice beam and thunderbolt, which together hit nearly any pokemon in the game for neutral damage or better.)

I believe it's better to be safe than sorry. Very sorry, in this case. Spoilers are like mines in a minefield. One bad post, you get the consequences...
This thread is a spoiler-free zone, so yeah. If you must post spoilery items, put them under spoiler tags and only link them, clearly marked. Better yet, not bother with posting it...
Even I'm having a hard time avoiding spoilers and I've already gotten the name of a certain final evolution (though, thankfully, no images or details).

That'd be the best bet.

I found my fourth favorite Kalos mon :3
Spoilering names of things that haven't been revealed seems kinda ridiculous tbh. Every post would be spoiler tagged. How would you even follow discussion at that point? If people don't want to know names, I would say that the OT is a bad place to go after release.
I think the time for being polite is over. Use the other fucking thread.
Boss Doggie

I didn't mention any name. At all. Nothing spoilerish about that. You get worked up on something insignificant. Or is the new game *gasp* having new Pokemon is considered spoiler material?
There's one more after 150 but you have to look under a truck to find it.
Wait then what are these things in my avatar from?
deviantArt
They look like digimon so that maybe.
That's true. So would names be okay considering images aren't posted?
I think the point is we shouldn't talk/refer to spoilers at all in this thread.

If those were Pokémon, I'd struggle to say what type they were. They don't seem to be anything like any of the 15 types I know.

Probably Digimon.
Asgard ripoff called Lokímon. Thor played it in his childhood. It's from an unreleased Avengers comic that I got from my uncle, since he works for them.
