Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire |OT| Hoenn Finally Confirmed

Yeah I know, but you can only get it from other Dragonite. This gives a way to get it for players who are averse to trading. That's what I was saying.
Jesus and I'm barely keeping up in 1500s, but to be fair i don't really have a set team, i just pick from the 4 boxes of competitive pokemon i have and roll with it.
That defines 1500s.
Battle Spot is also not nice to people trying to use uncommon Pokemon. I been running Mega Gardevoir lately and it's actually pretty tough using her with guys like Heatran and Metagross running around. It's killing me but I don't wanna give up. I wanna make it to 1700 with that mega but I'm failing badly lol
If you wanna use Mega Gardevoir, i think the first thing you should consider is what counters your counters. Politoed and scarf hydreigon may be great companions for gardevoir.

I went up against a team of Landorus-T, Latios, Greninja, CharizardY, Blaziken, and Cresselia in a triple battle. They were all shiny.
I use Aromatisse, M-Mawile, Rhydon, Machamp, Aegislash, and Lapras. I'm so happy I won.

It can take a while to climb back up after a chain of losses, too, when you're not using absolute standards. Voice of experience here ;;

Ray Rizzo actually made some videos of his Mega Gardevoir team recently. If you're trying to use one it might be checking out what he has to say about it.

Devoted my playing session to making mega absol work and it was painful,Everyone knows exactly what to do when they see one and it doesn't help that absol's a complete glass cannon.
I was told to partner it with talonflame but he's on my personal banlist along with mega gengar.

What about amoongus and sylveon?
The others i would choose for coverage, but also to make use of absol moves.
You can use "Me first' to help a partner attack a threat before it kills you , i can imagine a Conkeldurr killing a Kangaskhan or a terrakion before it does anything or even a very fast hyper voice from the sylveon.
I would go for max speed with taunt, protect, me first and knock off.

Me First doesn't let your partner attack faster, you're thinking of After You. Me First uses the foe's attack at increased power, which is only circumstantially helpful (aiming it at Terrakion could be fun, as it's weak to its own fighting moves)
You are right!
I was messing around with Me First the other day and wanting to see if you could Me First Dragon Ascent on Rayquaza but you have to be faster than your opponent for the move to work :[
People tell you to use Talonflame? Having two glass cannons out at once doesn't seem like a great idea to me. What exactly do you do with your Mega Absol? I've never really fought one.
Since you're abandoning it, can you tell us what your non-gimmicky gimmick was?
Na, I'm still tooling around with it. It did amazingly on the first day, so it does work in some cases.
A friend suggested that, after Nationals, I do some videos on unusual VGC strategies. Tempted to do that. It'll be there for sure if I do.
For some reason, I decided to test that message professor says when you show him your pokedex
He asked if I was evolving my pokes as well as catching new ones, and indeed, aside from legendaries, the only missing are first evos and final evos (most of them being trade-evolutions)
So, I started evolving them, while completely ignoring the babies, just to see if the message is fixed or it takes into consideration your progress.
And, he still says the same, even after getting all the final evolution entries. I'll get all the first forms and try again lol

Yes, I had nothing to do today lol
Oh man. Just caught a Cubone, Rhyhorn AND saw an Onyx in the same cave in Pokemon Y. And I also got my first fossil ever I think, and it's a dragon woah!
The only other ones I have played in the series are Red and Black. I'll go buy Omega Ruby when I have completed Y.
Cubone and Sandshrew are like my crushes from Gen 1, so they are some of the most important to me.

Yeah, that's why I loved XY. Most routes had unique Pokemon to catch so I was always looking forward to what was going to pop up. When I first played, I thought Route 3 was awesome because it had Pokemon from every gen.

Very nice, Lupinko. Enjoy it. 
You get events like what I just posted, ok maybe not the same events that I just posted. But like that sorta.
Guess there's no more events in Pokémon X/Y, as they have directed their focus toward Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire?
Lupinko, you need to add me on a friend on 3DS as well. Do you mind?

Sure, I'll send you a PM with my FC. And XY still has events actually. So just keep an eye out or monitor this thread or go to serebii for news.

Congrats Lupinko!! Sorta mad they allowed shiny this time after I moved. Haha ugh. I'd like to say "One day..." but we know Nintendo/GF hate the rest of the world.
On another Pokemon note, anyone catch the Pokemon Center vending machine in some mall up in Seattle? I remember hearing about it, not sure if it's still there, but was wondering if it had anything good in it.

Nice Lupinko!
QP3, you are pretty lucky through wonder trade. I think the best thing I got was a Gengar. Congrats!

Thanks! I have only started playing again this past week, so I feel fortunate. For the first time my goal is to fill out the Dex as much as possible. To get started, I have been wonder trading all my breeding rejects, and alas...
I do but I'm at work for the next 8 hours. I can get you one if you're willing to wait.
Of course I can wait, no problem
This stuff has always been around. I don't think it's getting any worse than it's always been.

Oh I know it's always been around, it's just worse once the internet got here because then if you're trying to stay legit, you basically can't do any trading online. But yeah, I feel like it's worse only on the fact that the more they try to clamp down, the more persistent the hackers get. Course it's always that cat and mouse game.

Well Powersaves has a paywall of sorts. You need to buy a device for it, as they patched QR injections.
As I have said...October 10th 2013 to December 25th 2013 was the golden age for Generation VI. Then, after that, things were alright but people used a hacked Ditto but you can sort of let that slide (despite official stance to the contrary), but then Power Saves came, CyberGadget and then injection :/
Okay, can someone do some math for me? What are the chances of getting a 5IV (31/x/31/31/31/31) female Eevee with it's HA when using a 6IV Ditto and a 5IV (31/31/31/31/31/x) female Eevee as parents with a destiny knot?
I swear I been trying for the past two days to get one with no luck yet. I'm starting to assume it's extremely rare or something.

I was referring to the cheating aspect. It was the golden age then because nobody could do it.
In an ideal world, we'd have what we have now with XYORAS but with no cheating whatsoever.
