Dude, congrats that is an awesome IV spread !
Repost for new Page
So i have a few 6 IV Japanese Dittos to give away, and a few of them are shiny.
Anyone who wants one PM me with you FC and in game name.
I'm not looking for anything in return, but if feel you like giving something i'll take any competitive breed pokemon with relevant nature/abilities/egg moves. IV's don't matter.
First come first serve
Edit: My fc is in my profile

Nice, that's a great EV spread. Time to lay people to waste with Shiny Megalence!

That doesn't seem like a good EV spread to me
Ahh Alrighty/Appreciated.
Please...I'm sure you have decent RNG luck. Thanks

Congratulations guys! Shiny Cresselia is still evading me, but I'm in no rush.
Oh wow, I just randomly ran into a shiny Torkoal on my way to a secret base in Fiery Cavern. That's my fourth shiny in this game (first random wild one). In other news, this batch of secret bases nettet me a total of 20 flags.Once again I only got two extra flags. So 18 to go still

Speaking of which I dislike seeing people having secret bases in Firey Cavern.
Such a pain to get there and out of there.

XY WT>ORAS WT
Man, I received way too many route 101-104 pokes through ORAS <_<

Yeah, he's pretty cool. He's Careful too, so I suppose that's alright
It is annoying,, but I keep getting people who have their secret base near Sootopolis in an area where you need Dive to go to. Seriously stop

If you're referring to the Secret Islet you can soar there.

Got a Xerneas just last Wednesday so my WT experience is already way better than in XY :lol
No it's not that. It has the description "It looks like you can Surf there, but you need Dive olololol"
I hate it

I haven't WT'd on ORAS... but XY wasn't much better for me. Stupid first route Pokemon all the time. It's not like I wanted shinies to come raining down, but some other breeding rejects since I was putting my own up, would have been nice.

This is pretty much why I always have an HM Slave on hand whenever I go flag-hunting. I makes finding some of the more annoying bases somewhat bearable. Having both bikes doesn't hurt either.
That is some fine luck i wish i had.
i WT 2 and a half boxes and got nothing but starting area mons
Zigzagoons and Ralts for me. I couldn't even get a starter pokemon !I like Ice Body. The extra HP is always nice and evasion is too luck based for me to go for it.

Any thoughts on Volcarona as a competitive Pokemon?
I don't see much discussion on it.
I've been running a Volcarona Ludicolo lead. Ludicolo supports Volcarona with a fake out to get quiver dance up. The rest of my team is a choice scarft T-Tar, rotom wash, Mega Metagross, and amoongus.
Quiver dance into heat wave usually outspeeds everything, and well timed protects from volcarona allows my ludiocolo to check water types with a gigadrain.
Is there a pokemon that does what Volcarona does for my team better?

I just added your FC and a PM. Looking for one of those Dittos.
Edit: Thanks for the giveaway !
added. All the shiny ones are gone though.
Can't think of one; Mega Houndoom does something similar but takes up a mega slot and isn't as fast because it uses Nasty Plot instead. Rock Slide seems like the major hang-up for Volcarona since it's everywhere.

Where do you get timer balls from?
Rustboro City if I remember correctly.
Rockslide is definitely a problem, but i actually have more trouble with the flying types. But yeah that 4x effective does decimate me when i dont have a protect up or switch it out.
You can get someone with Wide Guard for Rock Slide. Mienshao learns both Fake Out and Wide Guard, plus U-Turn and Regenerator for sustainablilty. Stone Edge will kill you though.

Thanks!
Volcarona + Hitmontop used to be really popular back a long time ago (TopMoth!) as Hitmontop can help set it up with Fake Out and then use Wide Guard to protect it from Rock Slide. Unfortunately both have a flying weakness and people eventually started playing around it fairly decently.
Gavin used a Volcarona in his Nationals winning team in 2013. Cheol Hwan took it to Top 4 in Korean Nationals that year around the same time. Barry just missed cut at Worlds a month later with it as well in 9th.
Those three links should be helpful. All three used Volcarona differently so it's a great look at how one Pokemon can be so different depending on how the person wants to train it!

Exactly, my build was inspired by TopMoth.
Now I'm running Ludimoth. For the most part it works extremely well.
I went 8-0 my first test run with it in ORAS.
I guess what i was wondering is if there was a Pokemon that has take Volcarona place now.
I can't seem to access those links, but ill do a google search on it to check them out. Thanks!

Nugget Bridge should be up again soon so I would just wait a bit.
But yeah, Volcarona's good. I'm not a fan of leading with it when Talonflame's everywhere, though, since you really want to get rid of that stupid thing before going crazy with Volcarona.

Yes talon flame absolutely destroys like half my team, but im not afraid to lead with the ludimoth combo. I usually fakeout the talonflame and set up quiver. turn 2 i protect with volcarona and try to land a scald on the bird. If their talon flame goes for my Ludi then im screwd. i guess a safer play would be to switch in rotom but i like playing agressive and it usually pays off letting them make the guesses.
Look for wattson infront of the mini luminose tower monument in mauville.

Guys, remind me again why I'm breeding for a new shiny Tyranitar?
Yeah I've already done that. I did Wattson and the New Mauville stuff. I can access the hills.
