Anyone willing to trade my kadabra and back to me so it evolves?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Lies.

It's my first shiny man, at least let me believe a little. ;_;

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Does leveling up in the Daycare ruin the stats of my pokemon or am I good to go? I have a pokemon with 5IVs that I was trying to get more of, but it's level 31 from being in the Daycare so much.

You're good; don't worry about it.

 

[Tenck]

You're good; don't worry about it.

Thanks!

 

[Firestorm]

Just finished EVing 5 of my Pokemon and noticed I made my Harvest Tree Mon Relaxed when I think I might have wanted Brave. Oh well, we'll find out if I want to keep him on my team I guess x.x

The 6th I want is Zapdos so this is going to be a pain in the ass for something I'll need to replace after Pokebank anyway as I can't get Heat Wave on it in XY.

 

[CassSept]

Catch lv 3 and quick ball?

Is it really that powerful? I've heard it's absurd but I find it hard to believe that it would be that good.

 

[spiritfox]

Espeon is the cutest thing.

 

[Andrefpvs]

Wow, I'm never doing Wonder Trade again while half-asleep. Just had a massive scare -- I thought I'd accidentally traded away my favourite Heliolisk last night. Eventually found it randomly in my Battle Box (I don't even remember putting it there!), but that was scary.

 

[MicH]

Perfect IV Scyther GET... But it has Swarm and it's female. FFS!

 

[Fireblend]

Perfect IV Scyther GET... But it has Swarm and it's female. FFS!

Noob question: why does it matter that it's female?

 

[NEO0MJ]

Perfect IV Scyther GET... But it has Swarm and it's female. FFS!

Can't you just use the ability switching item?

 

[Solid Samus]

after days of working on it

finally, I have my perfect 6 31iv adamant technician Breloom rocking Bullet Seed and it is kicking ass online

 

[MicH]

Noob question: why does it matter that it's female?

Not really, but I prefer males so I can use it to easily IV breed other Pokemon in the same egg group

 

[Aytrial]

Do people prefer Trace or Synchronise on Gardevoir?

 

[ramyeon]

Still going? That sucks man I got mine a few hours ago and it felt so good. Surely you'll get it soon!

 

[MicH]

Can't you just use the ability switching item?

That's kinda a waste of time and BP, in my opinion. Probably easier to get what Ai want the hard way... I hope

 

[spiritfox]

Do people prefer Trace or Synchronise on Gardevoir?

Trace means you can switch in to Pokemon with Absorb abilities and laugh at them. Of course you need to be aware of what they have and not switch in to a Slaking or Archeops or something.

 

[Aytrial]

Trace means you can switch in to Pokemon with Absorb abilities and laugh at them. Of course you need to be aware of what they have and not switch in to a Slaking or Archeops or something.

On that note, does Trace retain the previous ability when a new opponent switches in or is it overridden with the new one?

 

[Kokonoe]

I take it people use Sylveon as a wall? I noticed it has slower speed than Flareon.

 

[spiritfox]

On that note, does Trace retain the previous ability when a new opponent switches in or is it overridden with the new one?

It only activates upon Gardevoir's switch in. If you return her and switch her in again later, she'll get the ability of whoever's on the field at that time, overwriting the previous one.

 

[MicH]

Holy Christ, I must have angered the RNG gods.

I just got TWO 6 MAX IV Scythers in a row. Both female, both with Swarm The hell is this

 

[NEO0MJ]

On that note, does Trace retain the previous ability when a new opponent switches in or is it overridden with the new one?

Gardevoir keeps the ability if an opponent switches in, but losses it if you switch Gardevoir out.

 

[toastyToast]

Got a second 6 IV Pokemon today. I don't even...

Had a feeling that was how it works. Thanks for the confirmation.

Toasty, are you doing this on purpose?

 

[Tiamant]

I think I've found my counter to Harvest Trevenant, and its one of my favourite pokes... haha...

hahahahaha


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

 

[toastyToast]

Toasty, are you doing this on purpose?

No way lol

This time it was a perfect Adamant (-SpAtk) Larvitar mother and a 4 IV father who I was using to transfer Pursuit. I got it in the 3rd batch of eggs too

I get the feeling I'm going to get nothing but shit from now on

 

[Kokonoe]

Anyone else notice Santalune Forest = Viridian Forest? Thought that was pretty cool.

 

[Regiruler]

Trace means you can switch in to Pokemon with Absorb abilities and laugh at them. Of course you need to be aware of what they have and not switch in to a Slaking or Archeops or something.

And there's always the potential they'll run into me and I'll laugh at them.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Viridian Forest did not have elemental monkeys.

Spoiler

Yes.

 

[Aytrial]

Went and caught me a female Ralts with Trace.

It begins.

 

[ramyeon]

Horde EV training for Attack on Route 18 is the pits. Nothing but Geodude and Durant ugh.

 

[Charlie0108]

I see a lot of people talking about Rest/Talk but what are the benefits of using Sleep Talk?

 

[Fantomex]

Breeding is straight up Gattaca up in dis.

 

[Kokonoe]

Wow. I had no idea Hoppip flew with it's leaves like a helicopter.

 

[Wichu]

I see a lot of people talking about Rest/Talk but what are the benefits of using Sleep Talk?

Uhh... you get to attack while you're asleep? What more do you want?

 

[NEO0MJ]

I see a lot of people talking about Rest/Talk but what are the benefits of using Sleep Talk?

The main reason to use this is when you have a strong bulky pokemon that doesn't have access to any other recovery move. By using sleep talk you can keep attacking even while waiting for that pokemon to wake up. Use rest the next turn to recover lost health while it was asleep and use sleep talk again. The strategy isn't viable with all pokemon but those that can work with it are pretty dangerous.

 

[Mother Green]

That is definitely a mistake in the OT! Go to Route 19 instead, lots of Weepinbells there. Arboks occasionally too.
For Wingulls I prefer Route 12 and not Route 8.

I knew it, there were definitely none in 18. The rain stopped in 14 fortunately so I was able to do it on the Bellsprouts there.

Anyone online now and can help me evolve my Scyther to Scizor?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Raising happiness is a goddamn pain in the ass.

 

[ramyeon]

Raising happiness is a goddamn pain in the ass.

Soothe Bell, Befriending Power, Lumiose City coin trick for 5 minutes and you're done.

 

[Kokonoe]

Pixilate causes all Normal-type moves used by the Pokémon to become Fairy-type and receive a 30% boost.

So uh....Hyper Beam time?

 

[NEO0MJ]

So uh....Hyper Beam time?

Unless it was your opponents last pokemon or Sylveon was faster than the opponent and about to die using that move would give your opponent a free turn.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Soothe Bell, Befriending Power, Lumiose City coin trick for 5 minutes and you're done.

I don't have any of those and I can't really be bothered to get them honestly.

I'll just keep resetting the 3DS date.

 

[Akai__]

Serebii says, that a trainer on the Rogue Plaza in Lumiose town has Gliscor, but there isn't a trainer at all... It's my last Pokémon, that I need to see in Kalos. Any tips or is than an other way to see one? People in the GTS are really silly.

 

[Kokonoe]

So how can I go about acquiring an Eevee with Anticipation? Do I have to breed or can I just catch one in the wild?

Unless it was your opponents last pokemon or Sylveon was faster than the opponent and about to die using that move would give your opponent a free turn.

Hmm...I see. Well, it'll make for fun single player shenanigans.

I don't have any of those and I can't really be bothered to get them honestly.

Resetting the 3DS makes it happen faster?

 

[Antiwhippy]

No, but you can only visit the massage lady one time a day.

 

[QP3]

So I have bred an adamant Tyrunt with the multifangs. If I switch out the Tyranitar (which it got the egg moves from) with a Ditto (so I can start getting good IVs) will my Tyrunt still pass the egg moves?

 

[Mother Green]

I knew it, there were definitely none in 18. The rain stopped in 14 fortunately so I was able to do it on the Bellsprouts there.

Anyone online now and can help me evolve my Scyther to Scizor?

Mother Green to the rescue!


Do you still need help? I can com online now.

 

[toastyToast]

I don't have any of those and I can't really be bothered to get them honestly.

I'll just keep resetting the 3DS date.

Use the coin trick and run through Befriend power twice. That's enough to evolve a Riolu in a luxury ball. Soothe Bell not needed

 

[Korosenai]

A couple questions about writs:

1. Once I put out a writ, does everyone in the building automatically become the level of the writ that I put out? Or do I have to leave and come back?

2. How often can I battle everyone in the building?
