Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire |OT| Hoenn Finally Confirmed
- Thread starter ColtraineGF
- Start date
Bold is the most popular since it increases its bulk even more and allows it to survive common strong physical attacks more easily. Calm is also an option if you want a specially defensive Suicune.
Modest can also work if you want to go for offense. I'd really recommend Bold though. Suicune is probably the best doubles Tailwind setter in the game right now.
What are good substitutes for my Pokescrap Victinis?
Pokescrap Victini only gets V-create, it doesn't have the Unova Dragons' moves (Bolt Strike, Blue Flare, Glaciate, Fusion Bolt, Fusion Flare).
For the fire moves I'm looking at Overheat and Heat Wave as optional replacements, but it's not that bad due to STAB and the fact this Victini retains STAB V-create.
For ice its slim pickings with a weakened HP Ice, also trying to SR for that is kinda annoying since IVs and Nature is already a lot of work.
For Fusion Bolt and Bolt Strike, Victini has Thunderpunch and Wild Charge for physical and Thunderbolt and Thunder for special.
I have 5 to work with, so I'm looking at Adamant, Jolly, Naive, and Brave. Although I will probably won't end up using two.
The Life Orb SpA Smogon Build is doable on Naive.
I was thinking about trying a trick room Brave build and if Thunder is a usable replacement for Bolt Strike. 70% without rain is shitty, Bolt Strike isn't better at 85% though. I don't know if Wild Charge or Thunderpunch as non-stab physical moves are good enough options on any physical Victini.
So definitely Naive, undecided on the other two for me to play with. Victini does have STAB Psychic, Psyshock and Zen Headbutt as well.
Right now it looks like:
Adamant / Collection
Jolly / Collection
Naive / Use
Adamant-Jolly-Brave-Naughty / Use
Adamant-Jolly-Brave-Naughty / Use
Kinda lame that Victini's best moves, V-create included, are all event moves.
Suggestions?
Edit: yeah there are special based Victinis, but I have V-create so I may as well use it.

It's the latter: when you trade an egg. You usually see it when hatching shinies via TSV matching.
Yeah, Premier should only be on event Pokemon
Ooh, nice.
Kinda weird how the mine cart game didn't give berries with all the berries in the actual game....
EDIT
Whoa, a mini-game that actually needs some skill.

First round of Nugget Bridge Majors is up. Anyone else playing in it?
I of course got paired up with the 2013 world champion. Seniors world champ, but still. Sheesh.

Okay, so while the idea it could be TSV matching works, at the same time guess this Meowth was hacked in because it has a Premier Ribbon. Why the hell would you do so stupid of a thing? And how do you manage that? Hack the egg in then hatch it? Bit clueless about the hacking game when it comes to that. Never been my thing.
Honestly? A simple flip of a switch essentially lol.

Well, I know it's about fudging with information. Just in terms of how it all goes together in the AR/Gameshark/whatever experience.
lol, good luck!
I think I'm in it as well but need to check. Either way, I joined just because I seem to have developed an addiction for VGC as of late. Damn you Cybertron and your awesome videos!
Ooh Hayden is from my area sort of. He sometimes comes up to our events.
I'm up against Baz Anderson first round... Winner of last season's Nugget Bridge Invitational and 9th at Worlds in 2013. At least I'll get practice?

Oh I'm sure you'll go undefeated in this one too....
Me and Firestorm got this though. Not even worried. Well, maybe a tad.

Dang, getting paired up with those guys round 1 in such a large pool is... Ouch! Good luck guys!
I didn't sign up because I was unable to complete a tourney with only like 20 entrants so I don't think I would have been able to go all the way through with a much larger tourney. Makes it easier to focus on school and this Fossil Fighters: Frontier project I'm working on, too (Getting info from a Japanese version of the game so that when the English version comes out we just gotta change the terms to the English equals and then we're done. I now have new respect for Joe and other people who cover games).

Nowadays even Kalos-born ones are suspect, unfortunately.

Finally caught my first shiny. It's just a Quagsire, which is pretty lame, but I'm still psyched.

How can I get my Rayquaza into Pokemon Bank? Do I have to make it forget Dragon Ascent?

Does this mean Custap Berry is VGC legal?
Cloned at the very least.
What Gen and check the IVs. I know older Gens were odd in legal values. I got a Shiny Latias through GTS that followed the pattern of a Gen IV RNG.
Your first will always be your favorite lol. Congratz!
Yep. Any move not in XY is rejected.

Thought as much. Oh well, got the completed Pokedex in X now, along with my Shiny Charm and all my diplomas.
Lum Berry Terrakion with Double Kick takes care of all smeargle and bisharp :3
Yes.
Cloggerdude
Member
Yeah, I really need to get a Terrakion.
That is quite true and been planning on running one for a bit, but Thundurus would fit my team a lot better. I can easily swap Gengar with him while retaining Taunt and speed control along with some way to deal with Grass and Water types that wall me to hell and back.
If I only knew he was going to be exclusive when I started playing my game. It's Zapdos all over again (damn you Froakie for being the best!)
Of course, there's always trading but people ask for ridiculous stuff for a good Thundurus. It's probably easier just to play throught AS and reset for one myself.

I just wanna say I've started hatching eggs for a shiny Snorlax for reasons. Even with hatch power 3 it takes so long to go through 5 xP

Here's a method to make it awesome: Nickname it "Ditto"
Shame that the good moves are egg moves.
Jeff Vader
Member
Oh I have a few of those laying around but I won't be able to trade for a few hrs if that's ok with you?
Absolutely!
Not true. You can Bank Pokémon with the new moves, you just can't shift them to XY from Bank
Yeah Taunt Thundurus is also a great way to stop random bullshit.

Ugh, great. Now Quagsire has to be my favorite. Crap.
I would love to have a shiny Ditto. It's my favorite pokemon.
EDIT: Also, I'm dumb. I just realized there are multiple Pokemon community threads, and I've just been randomly posting throughout them. I always just went to whichever one was one the first page when I had a question. haha.

I'm kind of bored. Can I be a test subject for one battle? : P

These Snorlax are making me blind to their colors.
I've beaten the Elite Four for the first time.
Man, that
almost screwed my run. Flygon's earthquake saved it!
The credits were a nice take on the original RS ones.
Now, sidequest time and finishing the dex!
Man, that
Mega Metagross

Although it looks like I beat almost every gym with Sceptile lol
Now, sidequest time and finishing the dex!
Going to be on Battle Spot Doubles so you're welcome to try
When will you be streaming?

Your voice is nice, Joe. Are you from England or something like that?
