Are there any counters? Sheesh.

Holy crap balls. I never really paid attention to Mega Rayquaza, but just checked it out. Wow.

No probably not aside from a destiny bond lead maybe. Being able to megaevolve without a stone, able to hold a item, and delta stream makes it almost too good lol.
went up against a Gourdon, Kygore an Rayquaza team online a few days back
got through 2 of them with some help with status affecting moves but guess which last pokemon got a lucky crit on me for the win?

I'm already taking my hairs out to get a good shiny Beldum (from Steven, the event), I imagine how long I'll take to get a good shiny Rayquaza. FFS, GF.
Any nature is fine :3 today is rather late for me, so tomorrow or over the course of the weekend?
Same as before: it would work assuming the Rayquaza doesn't have DD. If it does, Wobbuffet turns into set up fodder. Do bear in mind you need the sash to be intact
Plus, if you use a sash, you might as well use counter and get rid of him right off the bat =p

All right, thanks. I only understood the DD thing now, sorry.
In Gens 3-4? Not that hard, in gen 3 I nailed it down.
I have like 7 at the moment from gen 3 alone.
Ow, should had made it clearer =p
If the pokémon has a non-damaging move, it can play around Destiny Bond until you run out of PP. I said DD cuz it's the most likely non-damaging move a Rayquaza will carry (I think). On top of that, with 1 DD MRayquaza can outrun MGengar.
Come to think of it, Klefki should be able to put a stop of Rayquaza. It has priority Thunder-wave, is immune to Dragon and resists Extreme Speed. It should be able to paralyze him without much difficulty.

But the Kalos pentagon, though... That's the problem.
Don't worry, I was a bit dumb there. And thanks for the Klefki advice, that thing already is a PITA, should be fun using him against MegaRay.
Yeah but EU Regionals is in two days and we'll definitely have one or two before Nationals. I'm assuming it's just a test because I know they wanted to run more this year. The metagame will change by Nationals.
Would have been nice to get some games in with the correct time limit before Regionals though.

Dang. I love how shiny Metagross looks, but the event one I have has such shitty stats that I only bring him out on special occassions. Poor guy.

Which website would you be referring to?
Edit: lupinko: Ah, what are the kids you teach? But yeah, you're right about Yokai being elementry. I just somehow figured you taught younger kids.

MRay is always going to have Dragon Ascent, and it's always going to have Fire Blast (or some variant) and/or Earthquake because otherwise it gets walled by steel types like Klefki.

Wait, it wasn't pokemon, but something to get berries, one of which was exclusive.

Ahhh that would be the online game thing. Is it PGL? Not sure. I haven't really bothered with the website stuff since X/Y stuff was so horribly boring there.
Resetting in front of delivery girl from a World Hobby Fair WC isn't hard, just patience. Oh right thank you source!

It is so much easier nowadays to fill my party with dragons.
When I played on the GB/Advance, getting dragons was considerably more taxing. Now I can do what my younger self strived for so much easier.
In Japan do you get so many Streetpasses and Pokebases that your 3DS burns?
I noticed for online passerbys, GTS, and Wondertrade I am seeing a lot of Japanese people. Kinda annoying at times when I get a Pokemon with a name in Japanese and can't do anything about it tbh.
Also, is your avatar a girl doing Resident Evil cosplay?

Haha.. fortunately you have the right hook ups.
Oh that's so awesome. That's a wide range, too.
Yes, it is awesome. Especially at an event. At the TGS's I'd have to check every moment I got a chance to clear it out and start again. I miss when you could stack up to 20 at a time. I remember when I was at E3 was when you could stack to 20 at a time, that was wonderful.
WHF15 was fabulous as well. So many folks crowding around to get Rayquaza... please gimme all dem streetpasses.... yiiiiisssss. I had all three of my 3DS's with me too, so folks could nab 1 of 2 variations of me. (My JPN and original 3DS use same Mii, but at least they get a different streetpass for it.) Heck, even the events at past at PC were nice. Like for Happy Hour Inkay... when I went to pick up my Charizard LL.. and the one event I missed out on. Can't remember which but was limited last year. Was like meh screw you guys too. But I loved all those streetpasses. Going to miss getting them come end of this month.
This feels more like an extra thing though.
Last year, we only had two International Challenges. One in May, the other in June. Now, we likely will have more, starting with this one to test things out.
Regionals are irrelevant to this.
Yes, especially if you go to a Pokemon Center.
I concur with what Muku said too. Let me put it this way, my Canadian 3ds took from North American launch all those years ago to now (iirc 1000 roughly), and that is between Vancouver, Seattle, Los Angeles, Tokyo and Sendai.
My Japanese 3ds is only a year old and it's like at 750 or 800.
Prior to moving to Japan last year I was fortunate enough to go to at least three or four big conventions in said places on the other side of the pacific.
And maaaaaaaybe.
Hey guys joined the Omega Ruby train last week and I'm having a blast so far. Currently at 6 badges and getting side tracked with breeding pokemon again. But I accidentally released a pokemon holding my everstone you find in Granite cave. Anybody knows where I can get a spare one from?
Yeah wild geodudes and gravelers may hold ever stones. And later if you farm secret bases you will get more than you would want. I have like 47 or so from farming secret bases

So giving out HA Gen 2 Starters via Pokebank from Feb 27th. That means we're down to just Amaura in terms of breedable HAs missing. If they keep going at this rate it'll be out by March.

That would be awesome. Seems like they're wanting to fill the void lately... I can't complain!
Well, all the Shaymin from contest have been taken care of. The remainder of them joined their owners this evening! Guess I should get to starting to SR my extra Shaymin now... Going to have quite a few. Gotta get started now I guess before end date draws near.
Seeing as we have no entry gift for the International Challenge - February (it's usually 1000 PokéMiles), it wouldn't surprise me if that's the gift
Edit: Never mind. Japan gets 2000 PokéMiles

Wake up, it's Mewtwo's birthday today.
Nah they're not irrelevant. They're coordinated by the same person who plans out the real life circuit after all and all count towards the same goal (the IC, not the GS Cup one). Last season they wanted to do more than just May and June but had troubles. The season before we had four (at least... might have been five).
They're supposed to go hand in hand. I can understand wanting to run a test and not having had a chance to do so before this month given how much work has gone into this season of the Championship Series. We've received what I thought would be 3 years of changes all in one year.

What is the best thing to use your Master Ball on? In the ORAS remakes particularly.
Aside from Magikarp/Zubat of course.
Hm, wow.
And ha, knew it.

Shiny pokemon that self-destruct, explode, run away or teleport. If you don't mind that, then I guess Deoxys.

Motherfucking Entei stretching that '50% chance to get desired nature with Synchronize' to its absolute breaking point. I've cought 6 and only one has been Adamant so far.

Awww, congrats! You'll always remember your first one.
I never came across a shiny until this generation. Hatched my first ever. (Baby Fennekin) First wild one was a bit disappointing but I'll remember it. (Flabebe)Awww, congrats! You'll always remember your first one.
Ah Flabebe! The pokemon me and my daughter love to hate :3 (Just because we ran into so many of them in X and Y, our first pokemon game together.

Haha. Yeah, I felt like the game was hating on me by showing me that one shiny first. Always thought it was kind of a weak one. (Was difficult to tell it was shiny too since sound was off and I didn't see the encounter start.) Ah well, it's keeping my shinies in my shiny dex company, haha.
A Sandshrew as your first is a good one. I've always had a soft spot for that little guy.
Hey all, I have a quick question. Not really about Pokemon, just the 3DS in general. But Pokemon is what I'm playing.
My friend let me borrow his DS. But he bought the DS off craigslist. Obviously that guy had made a Nintendo ID and attached it to the 3DS.
Now I need to update Pokemon (AS) in order to go online and battle and all that good stuff. But we don't have access to the password for the Nintendo account, therefore no update.
We can't wipe the DS and start over because the Nintendo Account has Fire Emblem attached to the account and that's why he bought the 3DS.
Is there anyway to attach the 3DS to a new ID without losing Fire Emblem? I've read about formatting the system memory abut it's all very unclear to me. Obviously I don't want to do anything without knowing for sure Fire Emblem will be safe.

As far as I know, only one Nintendo account can be attached to a system at once. Once you remove the old account, you'll lose access to everything attached to it. This is why it's not such a hot idea to buy a console based on downloaded items. I imagine it makes it easier to sell the console but for the buyer it causes complications.
Though, if you have an account attached, does it automatically make you enter a password when trying to get it? I ask because I have no account attached to my secondary 3DS, so there is no hassle. I can just scan the Pokemon ORAS QR code to get the download and download it. I have it auto sign me in on my main, and honestly don't pay enough attention to whether it logs me in when I scan the QR codes to update.
So the wifi on my 3DSXL is dead. If Nintendo can’t salvage my saves by replacing the wifi so I can system transfer, I’m going to lose a shit ton of pokemon, unless someone knows a hacky way to back up/restore save data for digital 3DS pokemon releases.

Damn, just before the new 3DS hits too. That really sucks, I hope they can do ok for you.
Wait, why would you loose the pokemon? The saves are on the carts, not the system and the Pokemon Bank store everything on their servers, not your 3DS.

Unless he went digital, but there is a save back up utility.
