You need to attach the Full Incense onto the mom/not Ditto.

Mega Medicham is fun.
I accidentally bred Fake Out onto mine and it's actually turning out to be useful. Regular Medicham isn't the fastest Pokemon out there, so Fake Out allows me to Mega evolve safely without taking a hit. Then I can take advantage of the extra speed next turn.
Is Ice Punch or Thunder Punch a better option? Ice Punch has better coverage, so I'm wondering why everyone seems to be running Thunder Punch instead.

I've got a level 94 Sableye (or I think it's 94. Definitely over 90 though) that is Calm and has Prankster. Has Foul Play, Will-O-Wisp, Taunt, and Recover. Anyone interested in it? It has been IV bred too. I accidentally went into grass and fainted one Pokemon with EXP share, so it's got like one whole stinkin EV in Speed.
It's free btw. I don't really need anything in return.

I've bred a Meditite, but haven't gotten around to training it and I've been wondering that too.
I guess Thunder Punch would be good against Azumarill?
I'd probably just use Ice Punch, if only to punch out dragons.

Man busaiku, the RNG gods aren't smiling on you today.

Oh yeah, Azumarill is definitely a threat. Resists both Ice Punch and High Jump Kick.

Thanks, I'm gonna troll so many people with it.
I wish I had something better to give you. I must have Wonder Traded all my 4 and 5 IV Meditites.

I can see how SHiny traders aren't happy about SV. Seems like shinys have gone from "Offer up a desirable shiny for mine!" to "Offer up a shiny with the RIGHT nature and GOOD IVs for mine" with the FS to ... just flat out "I have a near prefect Shiny! I wont accept anything less than a near prefect Shiny!".
Just over the past few days I have seen "near prefect" shinys being trumpeted as the standard. I was just google shiny Togekiss (I STILL can't find ANY pics of this thing in XY!) and came upon someone offering one up and asking for "good offers".
Clearly the poster had used the SV because it's very strange to get a shiny that's that good and have it be fully evolved without liking it enough to keep it. I very rarely see fully evolved Shiny Pokemon being traded unless they're trash IV and Nature wise. So some guy offers a Shiny 4iv MS Dragonair and they attempt a trade ... but the Togekiss guy called it off and told the other guy he shouldn't scam. He still has his Togekiss so clearly he has either this or some other means of seeing the IVs before a trade.
It's strange ... this thing allows people to see through scams but it also encourages them by making a normally HIGHLY RARE thing (Damn near flawless shinys) the standard for those who want to trade shinys.
So yeah ... if I were really into trading shinys this would be devastating and I would feel the need to begrudgingly join the SV party for higher class trading.

Goddamnit. Only one friend with a ghost safari and all it has are shuppets and phantumps.

I think we've been surprised by how trustworthy people have been so far with the SV trades too. Everyone I've seen or heard of has been very cooperative... nicknaming, hatching in a requested location, even letting the egg-layer hold a valuable pokemon while they wait.
However I think this climate is more of a honeymoon period. Especially as people get more and more requests. I've had 4 hatch requests already and already the second person I helped didn't even give me a "Nice!" after the trade back (yes that shit matters!). I'm still trying to get in touch with the next two (nuggetbridge has been down). Matching an SV was a big deal on the first day, but already we are seeing some duplicate TSVs and, as predicted, value of shinies has gone down. 50 eggs already gives 99.9% probability of finding a match on Nuggetbridge. I think the commoditization is going to make background checks a mandatory step in trading with someone within a week.

Boom! Why is there no photo op over here?
Don't let Twilt catch that.

anybody here use venomoth? and if so, what ability did you opt for?
Who on Nugget Bridge? If they're an IRC regular I can get you in touch. Sorry about the site being down x.x
Honestly I have heard some crappy things with Reddit traders but Nugget Bridge / Smogon should be fine.

That's what I was going to do, but I want a duskull to breed disable and pursuit onto it.
I have yet to see Mega Heracross, Mega Houndoom, or Mega Abomasnow.
I think I've seen 1 Mega Banette, but I'm not completely sure.
Isn't that all that matters.

Yeah, I think so too. Reddit is the last place I look. NB seems like a pretty friendly community. I'm in #smogonwifi and #nuggetbridge, just lookin for klsekl and jelome1989, but I'm sure we'll be in touch soon enough.

Aw man andy (hypnodarkrai I think?) thank you so much for the dusclops. Sorry I couldn't give you something good in return though. Not sure what you wanted.
Also thanks to steel baron for that shuppet.

Well, it does learn Automatize. I guess that most people expect that it would set up sword dance while in shield stance, so it has a surprise factor.

Are you still looking for an Omanyte? I can breed some with Toxic Spikes.
HypnoDarkrai

Yes. The stats will go up.
That would be awesome. i already have the pokemon I was gonna breed it with (cloyster for toxic spikes and Quagsire for haze) so skipping one step would be good. PM me your FC when you're ready, mine is in my profile.
