Plusle can be found in hordes on Route 5.
I've been on route 5 and I haven't come across one in like 3+ hours! Is there any way to make hordes appear?

Sweet Scent or Honey. The following Pokemon can learn Sweet Scent: Combee (lvl 1), Illumise (lvl 5), Swirlix (lvl 1), Spritzee (lvl 1), Foongus (lvl 24), Amoonguss (lvl 24).

I was leveling in the Frost Cavern and found a shiny Lonely F Piloswine with Oblivious and IVs of 0-2/24-25/12-14/19-21/19-21/28. Its golden fur is so glorious! This is my second shiny ever, just a couple weeks after catching a shiny blue Gulpin in a horde encounter.
Now, do I teach it Ancient Power and evolve it or leave it as is?

Had a random flash of boredom at work so I bred some perfect Pokemon quick, Cubone and Tyrunt. It's just crazy how fast breeding is. Training them is the annoying part though, I might just not do it for now.
I have some more time so I'll try breeding Murkrow and get some Light Clay.

So happy. Friend safari has been nice to me.
Found my shiny Delibird within 10 minutes of trying.
Then I found the shiny Dedenne I wanted. Unfortunately it had Relaxed as its nature. So I keep trying every now and then when I was bored. A week later, second shiny Dedenne... also relaxed...
In the meantime I found a shiny Galvantula.
Then yesterday I thought what the heck, try an electric safari again. 10 minutes into it, shiny Dedenne no.3 and this one has a nature that does not lower speed and raises special attack. Yay.
Next up... no idea. Maybe someone wants to trade a nice shiny for one of my spare shiny Dedenne.
Gonna start looking for a shiny Emolga, Noibat or Helioptile next I guess.
Will post a photo later once I am at home.

So weak.
I pretty much agree, but it was fun in a mind numbing way to go through it at least once.
I'm bout to breed some murkrows, so I can give you one if you want.

I should really take a break from 5IV Solar Power Charmander. Game does not want to cooperate. Whenever I get a female solar power it has 1 or 2 IVs meaning I'm better off sticking with the 3IV male and 3IV Ditto and of course the only 4IV males I get are Blaze instead.
On GTS. Well Pokebank opening up will lead to a lot more being on the market (you get a set in FR/LG, XD and I think HG/SS) but the lazy GTS solution is a Scyther as high a level as you can bare holding the metal coat (steal from Magneton). To be most fair try to get Adamant nature, technician ability, 5 perfect IVs and EV trained.
I love how XY is less social than BW in a way (no letters, way less survey answers) yet manages situations like this. The worst thing about it as Politoed can be chained for.God, this guy called Connor keeps inviting me to trade, and all he ever does is show off his shiny Politoed. Like cool, it's pretty. I get it. LEAVE ME ALONE.

Hey Starwolf! Would you like to borrow my 4IV Female Solar Power Charmander?
It has X/X/31/31/31/31 and Dragon Pulse.

Can't you breed 4IV male Blaze with 2IV female Solar Power for the same IV chance, but higher ability chance? I can even lend you a 5IV male Blaze when I get home
(edit: oh didnt see the post after it)
(edit: oh didnt see the post after it)
I have a 4IV one from wonder trading and I'm breeding it with Crobat, so it'll get Brave Bird effortlessly. I can give YOU one if you want. Though I only had time for a few batches that didn't have a perfect, so I'm giving up for now. Light Clay more important.
Tried a few times to find a shiny Drifloon that a friend of mine wants, and that whole chain thing is making me put the game down for extended periods. I'm gonna go back to my goal of trying to have one of each pokemon and if I happen to find one of those, cool. I like it better when it's fun and not work.

Not impressed with him in the tower. Moody seems to cause more trouble than good with accuracy drops, and the computer comes with easy hacks to shut him down as a lead. When he does setup correctly and pass to Mega Argon it's awesome. =)

The fact that I can't be bothered to remember what that ball's name is says everything about how pathetic it is.

Still there?

edit: dangit, misclicked. of course you can't yawn a paralyzed blaziken, silly
I want to breed a Slowking but I'm afraid of it just becoming a slightly worse Reuniclus with more special defense, less HP and with Slack Off instead of Recover. Anyone here with Slowking experience care to share how viable he is in competitive play? Regenerator looks interesting, using it with Trick Room and switching out for healing after it ends seems like a good strategy instead of using Slack Off.

Oh my god, why are my leads always completely in terror of yours. And I have nothing to switch in, this is the worst.

What did he lead with? I can give you some tips or whatevs.
Has anyone done the cloning glitch? I have and been cloning a few Xerneas and Yveltals so I can actually make some trades on the GTS. Lol
Would be cool if someone had a Shiny Froakie I can borrow to clone.
Or a 6IV imposter Ditto.
I've tried it and could only do it once lmao, I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong.
Mind breaking it down for me or linking me to a guide or something?
First time, my Espeon against his Aerodactyl. Second time, my Kingdra against his Jolteon. Sure the second time Jolteon countered half my team, but still. Who leads with Jolteon geez.

How to Clone in Pokemon in X or Y

Whelp, here's how I do it:
1) Do an IR trade.
2) As the game sets up the trade, look at the bottom screens of both 3DS's. The Pokemon you're deleting should be on the 3DS that has a face on the bottom screen.
3) After trade animation, turn off the 3DS that sent the mon you're cloning after somewhere between 1.25 and 1.5 rotations of the pretty circular loading icon.
4) I am not even sure if this does anything but feel free to do the same timing for the other 3DS.

I doubt it'd ever be worth it, but it'd be neat if Mega Stones could be affected by item-displacement moves from teammates. For example, running Barbaracle / Tyranitar together with, say, Tyranitarite and Assault Vest, respectively. You trick the opponent in doubles into thinking you're just running Assault Vest Tyranitar to keep Sandstorm up. On the fourth turn (right before Sand Stream dissipates), have Barbaracle Switcheroo - Tyranitar can now go Mega to reactivate Sandstorm, and Barbaracle gets a major Special Defense boost thanks to the extra Sandstorm time + Assault Vest at the cost of losing the ability to Switcheroo again.
It'd make for some ridiculous mindgames, at least.

So I checked some of the Pokemon Sigmaah gave me last week the Gible he gave me was a 5 IV one? Cripes, just what the doctor ordered, lol. the Fennekin and Froakie were 4 IV too. Thanks man, lol.
I checked the Safaris for the folks that are on my friend list and I got some Pokemon that i was missing for the Dex. They had some decent IVs too. Smedwicks had Lampents and Phantumps or whatever it's called. I can use those to start breeding a ghost army. >_>

Thanks to upandaway for being the Bro-est of Bros helping me get some Dittos as well as some males in popular egg groups with good IVs
Thank you! Will try to follow this.
Who starts the trade? The person who's gonna delete the trash pokemon? So many questions to be answered.
You're welcome bro! If I got plenty of 4vs and 5vs laying around, I'm handing them out!

So, what's everyone using to get through the Battle Mansion thing? Which is better, Singles, Doubles or rotation?
Only started doing it cause I'm EV training and I need those items! Could only get to 16 though ... that Swalot took my team by surprise
Also, is there anyway to stop battling and NOT break your chain of wins?

You must just sit there and go back and forth, don't you? lol
Your Friend Safari is Dragons btw. You had Gabites and the Stone dragon with the red head. There was something else too but I can't remember off the top of my head. I wonder what my Friend Safari is. =o

If you choose Interrupt it won't break your chain. I'm trying to do Multi right now with an AI partner and it is pretty rough. Lost my chain at 43 last night.
