I can understand Mega Kangaskhan but I think banning Mega Gengar and Mega Blaziken is silly.

How is that silly? lol.

Edit: Man, when you get the parents, breeding for HP Ice is way too easy. I'm actually going to take that 31/0/30/31/31/31 Eevee I bred earlier and make a nice Espeon like someone suggested earlier. I ended up easily making another Eevee with a spread of 31/6/30/31/31/31 that I can make into a Jolteon because it's ability isn't the HA.

I should try and breed for other HP. To be completely honest, breeding for HP would be a lot easier if there was a quick way to see exact IV spreads. IV calculators are helpful and all, but still.

So I finally hatch the perfect Slowpoke with 31 IV's in everything except speed which has 0 aaaaand... Own Tempo -_-

If that is the Slowpoke you want I would recommend holding onto it because PokeBank lets you get easy Battle Points so you could buy the ability changing item.

I dont think any of them should be banned to be quite honest. I also agree with the guy in the video about how if you keep banning these mons people will just keep overusing others in an endless cycle. I dont follow smogon rules anyway so whatever

They are banned because they are too powerful.

Where can I train post game? Is there something similar to stadiums in b/w?

Battle Chateau is what you want. It's bad early on, but as you rank up you get the ability to increase the trainer spawn rate and levels. The triple-Audino trainers there are amazing for experience (pretty sure you can get over 100,000 exp per battle from them).

Do you (or any other breeder doing this) have a spare 30IV def Eevee that I could grab ?

One round of triple battles in Le WoW with Exp Power rank 3 holding a Lucky egg will level the pokemon ~52 levels.

Yes they are very powerful but not ban worthy. All 2 of them can easily be countered with the correct team. I k ow because I've been able to easily do it. Maybe the people i played against weren't that good or maybe I my strategy was that much better. Idk. The point is they're not so OP you gotta ban them

They're only banned in the make-believe format called OU. Feel free to use them in any other format, including official formats like 3v3 & VGC Doubles.

But on topic: Mega Kanghaskan is stupidly, stupidly overpowered.

Smogon's criteria for keeping something in OU is a sort of "moved goalpost" where it isn't enough that you can beat it, but if you can hard counter it with a single Pokemon (which is being able to switch in and take a hit, and be able to kill it the next turn).

They basically don't like it if it takes more than one Pokemon to take something down.

Ughhh did i just screw up?

I bred a flawless Gligar with the nature and hidden ability i wanted. I then leveled it to 100 without holding a razor fang, thinking that when i give it a razor fang it would evolve like other pokemons do with a stone. Is my Gligar unable to evolve now?

I'm struggling to figure out how to build this Gastrodon.
Careful/Relaxed (unsure)
Infestation
Yawn
EQ (Toxic)
Recover

Running into a ton of Rotom-Ws so I figured maybe I could trap/wall them with Gas

ETA: with the ability of Storm Drain!

Yup, unless you can soft reset to a save in which Gligar isn't Level 100, you're SOL.

I'm pretty sure you can't evolve it now.

Looks like it. Gligar evolves through level-up (while holding a Razor Fang & during nighttime) so you're stuck.

No but I'll give you a tip: Don't level your pokemon all the way to a 100 until everything is complete. That includes moveset and EV's. You should evolve as early as possible unless you need a move from the pre evolution.

Thats what i had been doing with all my pokemon. I was so excited to finish the last member of my team that i had not thought everything out.

Now that i have to breed a new pokemon, what do you guys think would be better build for my team.

Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
Earth Quake
Toxic
Roost
Ice fang

or

Gliscor @ Flying gem
Ability: Hyper Cutter
Acrobatics
Earthquake
Swords Dance
Substitute

The other Pokemon on my team are Volcarona, Choice Scarf T-tar, Metagross @ psychic gem, Ludicolo, and Amoongus. The team is a clone of one i found on nugget bridge that won us nationals. I'll experiment with my own ideas when i get more experience with the game, since i've only been playing for almost 2 weeks.

You can't get flying gem at the moment until pokebank so if you're fine waiting a few days then why not. I prefer toxic orb/poison heal set.
