Foreign one, lv 30 so I can try for a shiny.
I don't have a dratini, otherwise I'd do that trade in a heartbeat. Gotta go catch one.

Think I've decided on my online team. Greninja, Venusaur, Haxorus, Aegislash, Klefki, and Volcarona/Talonflame.
Greninja is my special sweeper. Protean allows me to swap around types and, with Assault Vest, become deceptively hard to kill while I STAB OHKO/2HKO Pokemon left and right. Venusaur is a staller, who honestly I only keep because he also has reliable poison damage, which is necessary with all the fairies around. Otherwise, his reliable CC and healing lets him absorb damage while still remaining a threat. Haxorus is my physical sweeper. One Dragon Dance gives him unstoppable damage. Taunt + Earthquake makes him effective against the very common Klefkis and other debuff/buff spammers. He goes well alongside my CCers and my other big threats - my chances of winning increase exponentially if he lives past two turns. Aegislash is... Aegislash. And Klefki is Klefki.
Deciding between Volcarona and Talonflame. Volcarona has the benefit of defenses, better offensive typing, and countering the very common Malamar. Talonflame has more reliable damage due to his speed, better defensive typing, and is very effective as a U-Turn lead.

I can send you one if you want. I have a few spare.
I really wish it were possible to check Xerneas' nature earlier when soft-resetting. I got a pretty good one on my first attempt (24/25 in the non-perfect IVs, and Timid), but I really wanted 31 Spe and Modest because I'm a masochist.
I keep thinking "crouch canceling" whenever I see "CC". Too much Smash! What does it actually mean?

Thanks, NEO0MJ! The Helioptile has 4 perfect IVs too. Maybe you can use it.
Crowd control, which is "Too much World of Warcraft" for me. Just anything that incapacitates or neutralizes an enemy for a time.

What's a good nature for Mega-Venusaur?

Thanks! I'll be pretty busy for the rest of the day, but I'll message you once I'm free to trade. My FC's in my profile, by the way.

Breeding for hidden abilities are a pain in the ass.
Calm.

Okay, thanks.
Thanks for the offer, I was able to get one by breeding a Dratini and trading it on the GTS.
I don't have much of a problem with breeding hidden abilities at all. It's just a matter of getting a Pokemon with one first.

For me it's mostly been "oh hey an IV spread I actually want GODDAMNIT WRONG ABILITY."
Got what I need now though. Now to debate if I should go for 5 IVs or just go "fuck it".
Yeah, this is just the worst. I had a few 5 IV Torrent Froakies before I finally got one with Protean
I had that happen 3 times with those Gibles yesterday. Except it was gender, rather than ability, since I really wanted a male.
Go all the way for 5 IVs! YOU'RE IN TOO DEEP!
Have about 5 Noibats left if anyone wants one. After that it's the wonder trade for them.
No problem.
It helps if both parents have it. I gave up on trying to find a good Ditto and just used two Noibats in breeding. Very rarely do I get any hatchlings without the hidden ability. Of course if a Pokemon can't be found in the safari it's a different matter.

Nah, I'm not that crazy yet.
Though that 5th IV would be pretty helpful...Also went ditto hunting for awhile. Are 4-5 IVs dittos possible? I've gotten a few 3 IVs one, some of them with imposter. Which should be fun to use.
Yeah, I don't think gligar can be found in the safari, and I don't really want to chance it with guessing which gligar in a horde has that ability.
In fact I'm surprised that I got one fairly quickly.
I would like a Noibat please. My FC is 2680 9588 3121
I have a favor to ask from some people... Is it possible someone could hook me up with Power Training items for Defense and Sp Def? I would happily return them of course when I finish.
Also could someone send Pokerus my way? I still havent been infected!...
I would appreciate anyone willing to help me. I would do it myself but I haven't hit post game yet and Super Training from scratch is truly a pain no matter how accessible it is now...

I can trade you a Pokemon with pokerus, my FC is in the post above yours.

I've got a ?/?/31/31/31/31 Ditto that I caught from a Friend Safari which is awesome to kick start breeding.

Holy Ra, just got a Gastly with all perfect IVs from Wonder Trade.
Sadly it's female so I can't choose the ball if I wanted to effectively Masuda.

Oh man, that sounds awesome for breeding.
I want to say that after this gligar is done I'll be done with breeding, but just when I thought that I got out, it keeps pulling me back...
Mostly to test how to build an effective team, but still.
Zigzagoon is awesome, but Linoone not so much. I feel the same about Swirlix, a pokemon that also has a rather ugly evolution.

Linoone's sprite in V sucks, but I've always liked his original sprite.

Linoone was awesome back in Gen 3; early in game, HM slave and Pickup!?
Sign me up.

Within the next 20 minutes, and after 7pm eastern standard.

Most adorable model in this game has got to go to skiddo. I just want to pat his head forever.
Also kirlia. Them tapping feet. <3

So yeah, Prankster Klefki just took on an entire team by itself.

Wow.

Wow.
Skiddo is beyond adorable, especially after that scene in the restaurant.
As for Kirlia...it looks like someone who needs to go to the bathroom and is barely holding them self.
Just took my IV bred EV trained Mega Mawile Lucinda online for the first time just to give her a run against an actual team and she pasted the guy's Xerneas, Yvetal, Blaziken and Greninja all by herself
Now to actually breed a team. I'm thinking that I should just do my favourites because I don't really play online seriously, but that was quite a rush.

So where's the best place to level up Pokemon?
Got the lucky egg & opower already

I've found Restaurant Le Wow to be the best place based on recommendations here, plus the prize money is nice too.

Victory Road, E4, and a fully leveled Battle Chateau.
So after getting fed up with not seeing any rotoms in trash cans ever I decided to just put up a safari ditto on the GTS looking for one. Not only did the trade happen within minutes, but, it was a japanese rotom with perfect HP, SP atk, and speed, wasn't expecting that.
I am really tempted to try and breed for a shiny.
Edit: also yeah, I agree with using the 3 star restaurant in Luminoise. Level 3 XP o-power and a lucky egg can usually get a pokemon to level 50. If you do rotation battles you get XP even if you never attack. So I just put the guy I want to level in the second or third slot and run through it.
