For technician and Pursuit.... When a pokemon is switching, will it be 40 increased to 60 then doubled? Or just doubled, then not affected by technician?

Looked it up. Either does 60 with boost or 80 no boost on flee

 

[Tetsuo9]

I'm kind of worried that some movesets requires move tutors from B&W2. Hopefully they can patch a nicer way of getting some of that moves.

 

[VT_Brian]

So, does no one have an Impish Ditto that I can borrow for a bit?

An Impish Immunity Gligar would work too ;P

I have an impish ditto to borrow if I can borrow a timid one

[Otakumegane]

Awesome. I have a pretty good Timid Gengar in the PC I could ring up for anti-spin measures. Should I or is he too squishy too? I'd go straight to Aegislash if I weren't so afraid of having two Pokemon already that share a Fire weakness.

You also need at least 1 person that can fly/has Levitate because of EQ so yeah Gengar would be a great choice.

I was thinking of rounding it all out with a Dragonite so this is good to hear too! :lol

 

[Fireblend]

Is there a good reason to keep Aurorus at all? I feel like I'm keeping him in my party only because I'm not sure what a good replacement would be. Seems to die every other battle with 1-2 hits =/

 

[J. Bravo]

Is there any way to get a poison move on Greninja such as Poison Jab or Sludge Bomb?

 

[Unicorn]

So, I really don't understand the benefit of technician for scyther/Mega. Only aerial ace is the only boost, unless when Mega he's no longer holding the 'ite then thief would be worth it. Aside from that, there's nothing. Iron head is better than metal claw since 30 percent flinch is better than 10 percent chance to increase attack - I'll just swords dance at that rate.

Unless he's got some great, secret, new egg moves it is a garbage ability.

Can he learn it from the TMs?

Yeah, true, with a SD I'd be fine. It's just so under utilized though. :/

 

[J. Bravo]

Change he learn it from the TMs?

Nope, but he's in the Water 1 group which also has wooper, octillery, corphish, crawdaunt, gastrodon, tympole, and palpitoad who can all learn Sludge Bomb from a TM. So maybe they can pass it on. Serebii doesn't have a list of egg moves for Greninja.

Holy shit. Horde EV training, where have you been all my life?

 

[Moonlight]

Can someone explain how Horde EV training works, anyways? Or, specifically, which Hordes boost which EVs?

 

[theprodigy]

imagine if you could have dual abilities
all the combos

I don't think that you can learn eggs moves that you can't get from TMs.

 

[D-Pad]

Gamefreak sure does love keeping a lot of pokes at the bottom of the fucking barrel don't they. Guess the little kiddies need some easy targets to beat up when going through adventure mode. Meanwhile kangaskahns and tyranitars run amok in online battles because if you don't have them or one of the other 10 or so super pokes in your party you aren't getting anywhere. A far cry from a series that insists on you to using your favorites.

But whatever.

lucky me, my favorites all happen to be good already

bro, I liked Blaziken and Espeon before they got their gen 5 hax
and was on the clearly superior Team Froakie before Protean

edit: hell, even with the Hoenn legendary trio, my favorite was Kyogre
lo and behold, he's considered the best of the 3 :lol
(rain too OP)

 

[Antiwhippy]

I think volcarona is the only mon which I loved for the design that turned out OP. Then there are others like gardevoir or aggron where they suck ass but then turned out ok this gen.

Weavile was pretty ok too I guess.

 

[Otakumegane]

Aegislash is probably my favorite new Pokemon by design this gen barring Xerneas.

And well he turned out decent enough.

 

[jelmerjt]

Found this Jolly Ditto in Friend Safari. Good enough for me

 

[theprodigy]

to add onto that, there's Jolteon (my favorite Pokemon period and OU for every gen but the 1st) and Starmie (Gengar status, OU every gen)

wait how come Starmie doesn't get recognition for that

oh and I used Talonflame and Aegislash on my Y ingame team :lol

 

[Metroidvania]

Holy shit. Horde EV training, where have you been all my life?

Seriously, I got a Larvesta, Larvitar, and two Eevees done in like 15 minutes today. Shit was crazy.

On a related note, with the 122 base, a timid Greninja shouldn't need all 252 evs in speed to get 1st move on any non-priority matchup, right? I got the 252 in Sp. A, but am not quite sure where to go from there.

Problem is he's squishy enough that splitting some into the defensive stats won't help all that much, and timid means going for attack for U-turn or other physical moves is less viable.

Starmie might feel some pain this gen as some teams start running Defog instead. Honestly the only thing she had over other fast special attackers was her ability to Spin.

mega gengar outspeeds greninja with 130 base.

edit: also this is cool. didn't know serebii had this lol http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/stat/speed.shtml

How on Earth do I stop it from raining on a route? :/ Sweet Scent doesn't work in the rain ugh.

The 1st turn when they Mega is calced by the base stats of the non-Mega so Greninja moves 1st if Gengar switches in and Megas.

And I believe Dark Pulse OHKOs him.

Looking at that chart it's like they made Noivern 1 speed faster to troll Ninja users with Ice Beam.

 

[ohlawd]

I've been sifting through my Wonder Trade box and someone gave me a Ferroseed with Leech Seed and Stealth Rock. I was planning on doing the chain myself later today but now I don't have to.

Thanks, guy. Saved me the hassle.

Starmie my fave

 

[ramyeon]

Rain stopping me from maxing out my Togepi's speed EV. Just you watch, when I actually need rain to evolve my Sliggoo there won't be any lol.

I know, and the Hidden Power nerf hurts Jolteon badly

An alternate area to get Speed EVs is Connecting Cave, fight Zubat hordes.

 

[Sigmaah]

No luck on 5v Larvesta but I got like 3-4 4v ones, not bad. Still gonna breed like mad though!

 

[Delio]

It seems super hard to get a darn Excadrill with Mold Breaker -_-

Couldn't get the exact IV spread I wanted but I think I'm done breeding Lucarios

Have 5 Riolu with Bullet Punch and 5 perfect IVs

cbf doing it now. PM me if you want one

What was the IV spread you wanted and the one you got?

 

[toastyToast]

What was the IV spread you wanted and the one you got?

I wanted 31/31/31/x/31/31

Somehow I got special attack every time which is useless because its Jolly. I've given up at this point lol

I decided on keeping one with 31/31/20-30/31/31/31 seeing as Lucario has good resistances and gets a Def (and not Sp) bump when he goes Mega

edit: Got 5 PMs. All out bros

 

[Niraj]

Hey ramyeon, got a Togepi with Serene Grace and perfect IVs in all but attack. If you're free I can give you the two parents back.

 

[takriel]

Can someone provide me with a Pokemon that has Pokerus? I'd really like one to make the whole EV training aspect easier... Please PM me if you can spare one.

 

[ramyeon]

Great you can keep 'em though, I've got mine so I'm good haha. Maybe there'll be someone else to pass them onto in the future!

 

[macklelol]

Thanks for the Riolu, toastyToast!

 

[Niraj]

Great you can keep 'em though, I've got mine so I'm good haha. Maybe there'll be someone else to pass them onto in the future!

Alright cool I got a PM from somebody so I'll see if they wanted the parents or just wanted to grab one of my extras. Thanks again!
