CB Garchomp is stronger, and in doubles, you'll usually have at least one target to hit with a powerful Dragon Claw. I say CB and use your Mega slot on something else.

Vital Spirit IMO. Most Spore/Sleep Powder users are slower and frail, so you can switch in to those and force them out.

While Hidden Power breeding is quite a bit easier now it's still a pain compared to your standard 5 IV mons. Finally got my guy though:
Helioptile - Timid - Dry Skin - male - 31/26/30/31/31/31 (ICE)
Up for grabs:
Helioptile - Lonely - Dry Skin - male - 31/x/30/31/31/31
EDIT: Grabbed by DaBoss

Giving these ones away, although if you have other pokemon with similar IVs I wouldn't mind getting one piece of them.
Male Fennekin, modest, blaze, 31 IVs sans speed.
Male Feebas, bold, swift swin, 31 IVs sans SpDef.

Male Eevee, hardy, run away, 31 IVs sans SpDef.

It's my first time going for hidden power now and it's not fun. I keep getting electric instead of grass and when I get grass they had the wrong ability. But you got yours so I have to keep on going!
It's awful lol. I have no idea how in the world people consistently get 30 IVs on their Pokemon. I think my HP Rock Lilligant is 31/x/28/31/28/24, which means it's slower than a 31IV SPD Excadrill. Getting the speed to 24 in the first place took a lot of time, so I can't even imagine how long it'd take to get 30.

I went and caught ditto (outside of safari) until I had one with 30 DEF. Then bred that @ Power Item with a 4IV parent I already had and went from there.

Does anyone have Unown? He's so hard to get on GTS for some reason.
I did almost the same, I went to my safari ditto box and cheked the stat range needed for a 30 in 30 to level 35 dittos, then I IV cheked my candidates and got a hit.
Hoping the thread can help me out. I picked up Pokemon X over the holidays and this is my first ever Pokemon game. I was wondering what the long term appeal is for everyone that has played for so long? I'm definitely enjoying the game and have dumped about 30 hours in so far but the single player feels very limited/easy. I'm often very over leveled for the content I'm playing against. Is it the PvP element that makes people dump hundreds of hours into the game? Are there online matchmaking systems/rankings for the game?
I guess my overall point is that I'm enjoying the game so far and collecting the different mob types but not sure I see the long term appeal/hook for me. If the online competition is easy to get into and very deep I can see myself enjoying the game for some time but not sure where to start. Basically, what is the end game that keeps people playing?

While the postgame in X/Y is not as large as other games in earlier generations the meat of the gaming experience does occur "post" game after you beat the story.
The PSS on the bottom screen is your portal to online battling.
To get ready for online battles you will want to breed competitive pokemon.
To get those competitive pokemon suited up you will need to spend time in the Battle Mansion getting BP to buy items.
Those 3 activities will take up the majority of your time post game. To give you an idea I put 40 hours into beating the game, I have since put 230 more into the post game activities I listed above.
Thanks, I'll look into it more. I have seen some guides and all of the IV and breeding threads are bit overwhelming but I love depth like that in a game. So you get BP from battling other players, is that how it works? I like PvP more when there is a point to it or at least some reward tied to it.
You don't get anything from battling other people (I guess you win/lose points if you're doing ranked matches). You get BP from battling NPCs in the Battle Maison.

Anybody have an Elgyem or a Baltoy they can trade me? Hoping to use them to get other pokemon I need through GTS.
I got a few. I'll be on in a few hours.

Okay, thank you!
Once I finish leveling up these three Pokemon (which will be in a bit) i'll be down for a battle.
Saw a bit more on this after I posted, thanks for the reply. Last question for now, are there any early game, easy to obtain Pokemon that I should focus on raising while playing the single player game? I've just been relying heavily on Greninja and Blazikin to one shot everything.
Just use whatever you want, but try to capture lots of Pokemon on the way.
lol
Man, I really don't have an answer for Ferrothorn.
You should clone me one of those Magnemites
not serious, but good stuff you got there.

People called Romanes they go the house?
Still want that aggronite, by chance? I'll trade it for a Honedge.
But seriously, if you still need/want the aggronite, let me know. I'm free most of today, am going to try and get some more ditto cloning done.

Haha, yeah dude, I was wondering if I forgot to mention that.
Friend is totally engrossed in his PS4, gave me his 3ds for a while.
Swerve, gimme a few, gotta clone all these fools first then I can give you what u want lol
Fletchling line of birds you find at the start of the game. Eventually evolves into a Flying/Fire type that has the Flame Body ability. Flame body outside of battle shortens the time it takes to hatch eggs. Couple that with the fact that you can teach the bird the Fly HM and it never leaves your post game team.

Lead your team with a Pokémon that has the Cute Charm ability and is male.
You'll find mostly females.

Wait, seriously?
I could have found a female Combee all the way back then?
Gah.
You learn new things every day.
Don't have one :/ I'll keep trying

Yeah, man. Cute Charm increases the likelihood of finding mons of the opposite gender if the Cute Charm mon leads the team.
Saves you a hell of a lot of time. I learned it recently myself really. :lol
Jigglypuff? That's what I use.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
Has anyone cloned the X exclusive Mega Stones? I can lend my Y Charizard Mega Stone for cloning if it's needed.
Minccino.
I can give you a Solar Power female Charmander, but it only has 2 IVs and I've been breeding to get one that is better IV'd, and so far, RNG has been screwing me over.
I think I need a Clorophyll Bulbasaur in a Luxury Ball too.
All of mine have Competetive for some reason
That would be great. IVs don't matter
EDIT: Thanks DaBoss!

I think my Sylveon is male. Sweet.
I actually have a bunch of female Combee from my berry patches.

Could I get one of those Dittos that you clone please ?

Gotta love it when the daycare guy refuses to give you an egg to the point where you start hatching slow hatch rate Pokemon without O-Power.

Alright, after DarthOrange and Scratch get their Dittos, I have 4 left in case people still need them.
Darth, either PM me your FC and IGN or post it here.
Mine is 3153-3730-9713. IGN is Met.

Not officially released but I am sure you can run into hacked mons.
