Just hatched a 31/x/31/31/31/31 Carbink. What stats should I train for?
HP and whichever defensive stat is boosted by your nature.

It's Modest, so I think Special Attack is boosted. Should I just go with Special Attack, then?
It doesn't look like we'll get two more so if you want we can do a 6v6 singles or doubles.

Anything you want.
Okay we'll do both I guess lol

That was close. Mega Aerodactyl <3
I will change my team for doubles.

GG! I had no idea Mega Aerodactyl was that fast so I volt switched instead of Thunderbolt
; ;
And just send the battle trade when you're ready
Nah, its Special Attack stat is terrible. Does your team need a physical tank or a special tank more?
(also if it were up to me I'd rebreed for a +Def/+SpDef nature)
EDIT: Oh, by the way, does anybody have a Magneton safari here? I think I accidentally deleted mine

I'm still in awe at how amazing Knock Off is this gen. Since basically every competitive Pokémon carries an item, it's guaranteed to both do 50% more damage on the first hit (which climbs to absurd heights when you add the bonuses from STAB, Adaptability and the Super Effective modifier) as well as throw a large monkey wrench into whatever strategy the opponent is trying to pull off.
Did any other moves that get buffed to the same degree? I know that Chatter got completely re-tooled, but it's still nowhere near as useful as the new Knock Off.

I was thinking of running Reflect and Light Screen along with Light Clay on it, and also Moonblast and Power Gem.

While it's not an old move, Boomburst is similarly ridiculous.
I actually kind of wish Knock Off / Thief would negate Focus Sash on an otherwise-lethal hit because of the fact that they're disabling the item.
Guys, I need help making a legit badass team. I'm gonna list off all the pokemon I have 5v'd and from there choose which 6 will make the best team! I'm new to battling so I need expert help!
Pokemon I have:
Ferrothorn, alakazam, noivern, aegislash, greninja, volcarona, metagross, aggron, garchomp, sableye, Delphox, rotom, Hydreigon, goodra, Kangaskhan, lapras, Tyranitar, espeon, togekiss, Excadrill, tyrantrum, scizor, and chandelure!

Yep, but 50 base Sp. Atk isn't going to be OHKOing anything even with a Modest nature. I run Reflect/Light Screen/Stealth Rock, with Rock Tomb to slow opponents down and make them easier to beat for the rest of my team (and to wreck enemy Talonflame). It doesn't do much damage, but it's really good in certain situations and means I don't auto-lose to Taunt.

GG!
That was fun and I was surprised how little damage my scald did to your charizard.
Maybe we'll get lucky and some more peopel will want to do some multi's heh

Drought halves Water damage and boosts 1.5 Fire damage. The inverse happens with Rain Dance.
I need to breed some Pokes but I am too lazy to do it. *looks at game backlog*

mmhmm
Ahhh right right. Completely forgot about Droughts effects.
I just finished Zelda so I'm just messing around with pokemon for now lol
Sorry. I had to step away for a bit. Yeah, you can have it.
It's an extremely good move this gen. I find it pretty effective on walls like Gliscor and Sableye too.
I could give you Excadrill if you want, just not now but around an hour later. I will PM you my FC.
Kanghaskan / Rotom-W / Goodra (sap sipper) / Aigislash OR Sableye / Tyranitar / Excadrill

Just got the game today. So this Wonder Trade is a new thing. I had no idea what it was supposed to do. I offered up a junk Level 3 character and got a Level 27 Dugtrio in exchange. Was that a total dick move by me? Did I just screw over the other guy?

Ah, I was wondering why you didn't keep him in for flygon.
He probably scarfed his flygon.

There are no dick moves on Wonder Trade. You just give up what you're willing to give up; it's all in the name of fun.

Depends on what role you want it to fill. If you're on the market for an unmatched lategame clean-up sweeper, definitely go for the Choice Band. Very little can survive a STAB Adaptability Aqua Jet that's been augmented by a Choice Band, and those that can will crumble before Knock Off.
If you just want an all-around versatile glass cannon, then I'd suggest a combination of Life Orb and Swords Dance. If you can force a switch and get a dance off, then you can wreck shop until one of The Daunt''s hard counters stops him in his tracks.
Splash Plate is also viable if you just want to kill things with Crabhammer and Aqua Jet though. There are actually a lot of items that work well on Crawdaunt!

Moldbreaker. <3
Ooo sounds fun! Only problem is I have goodra with Goomy and no way am I going to breed another 5v Goomy for sap, so I'll try to trade for one.
Megamon probably gonna be kang correct? Also, do I want sand rush for double speed escadrille or mold? I know weather is only 5 turns but double speed excadrill sounds nice.

The only real problem with this team is that half of them are weak to Fighting, one of the most common offensive types in the metagame. The only member that can safely switch into a Fighting-type move is Aegis/Sableye, which leaves you in a sticky situation if said member is KO'd before going up against the foe it's supposed to counter.

Does anyone who is still active and online often have a Tyrogue or Riolu Friend Safari? Send me a PM if you're willing to help, thanks!
