Pokémon XY |OT3| How's That? Owned, Suckah!

What are some good spacial walls? My team has Noivern, Mega Pinsir and Avalugg right now. I know there's Blissey, Vaporeon and Tentacruel but any other options? There's Dragalge but I'm afraid of putting two dragons on my team.
Goodra. Yes, it's a Dragon. It's still amazing.

Nope, you're pretty much gambling on what the trader says they're offering.

Hmm...well maybe they'll patch it in or something. lol

I got my male Anticipation Korean Eevee after some work so maybe a Shiny will pop up when I'm making dat Espeon.

Sylveon, Florges, and Snorlax(W/ Assault Vest).

Hah this battle: NMWW-WWWW-WWW2-M6BR

Support Noivern MVP this match. Taunted the Klefki and got a Struggle and a free burn out of it. Got a bit confused when he took out Chansey and started using Minimize, then I realized I had Whirlwind. RNG gods took care of the rest when he Swagged me and I managed not to get a confusion hit.

And I was wondering if I should keep my Noivern.

BTW thanks Teeny for the Heracross. I'll use her but I already have 2 bugs on my team.
 
To use O-Powers / Trade with friends or battles? Honestly I reject all battles now because they're usually 6v6 that may or may not have shit like Yveltal and Mewtwo. I'd rather just finish training my team and hit up the ladder.

3v3 is garbage. One flinch, one miss, one crit and it's all over. That's no fun.

If I want a 6v6 battle I have to spend sometimes up to half an hour trying to find someone who'll battle with me. I don't mind when people reject them straight away, but those who leave me waiting with no response are just wasting my time and I'm tired of it.

If you don't want to use the online features of the game and you don't have the courtesy to reject straight away, please DISCONNECT. This is not aimed at you or anyone in this thread, just a general thing.

Seeing as we get the oval charm for completing the Kalos dexes, I think it's safe to say we'll be getting the shiny charm for the national dex. Double shiny hunting on Y and White 2 is gonna be amazing :D

I really want those event legends, and with that picture I don't think its unlikely that we'll be getting Diancie sometime near the start of next year. I can't wait lol. On
a seperate note, the lack of pokemon distribution events happening in Japan is a bit odd, after so many in 5th gen

Sylveon, Florges, and Snorlax(W/ Assault Vest).

Snorlax can be a good option. My main problem with using Assualt vest though is that I'll lose access to rest, leftovers and curse, moves that in the past were pretty essential to it. Plus its SP.Def is good enough I thing to afford not running that item. Still, it might be worth considering.

Goodra. Yes, it's a Dragon. It's still amazing.

Don't like Goodra too much. If I were to go with dragon I'd go with Dragalge.

I wonder how good Assault Vest Regirock is?

Looking at the suggested moveset, you wouldn't be able to use Stealth Rock, Toxic and Thunderwave.


It has a good enough movset to go all physical. But I don't know how much it will really benefit from Assault vest, considering it's HP and SP.Def are not really that high. For example not only does Tyranitar have higher health and the same SP.def, it's ability Sandstream boosts its SP.Def even further. As long as Sand Stream is running Tyranitar has the same SP.Def as Goodra.

I'm considering using it because its attack movepool is just fine without Curse or Rest. Power Up Punch/Crunch or Pursuit/Return/Earthquake seems pretty good to me but I haven't tried it for myself yet. He also gets Ice Punch once Pokemon Bank comes out.


SHINY CORSOLA GET! Of course a shiny would pop up when I'm just trying to finish the 'Dex instead of when I was actively trying to chain fish.
 
This is how you beat Mega Kangaskhan guys. :p

TYZG-WWWW-WWW2-MBA9

Probably the most satisfying match I've played thus far.A risky move but it was the only way I could win.
 
I just realized that I don't have enough stones to cover every single stone-based Pokémon evolution, and same goes for held-item-based Pokémon evolution.

Yikes!

So I just caught Xerneas.

Xerneas - #716 (Quiet)
HP: 24 - 25
Att: 2 - 3
Def: 30 - 31
SpA: 30 - 31
SpD: 30 - 31
Speed: 30 - 31

I think I'm keeping that! Aside from a nature that isn't the best that thing is an absolute beast! No resets either!

No, don't do it! :p

I didn't care too much about the IVs on my legendaries. I don't plan to use them competitively, but that is just me....

I'm at 90 and haven't gotten my last badge yet.

101 hours here. By far the most I have put into any single generation. Bought the 3DS for this game and no regrets. Also, share your time played!

100/100 is pretty good bulk actually and he lacks any 4X weaknesses. If only the Regis got some forms of HP recovery.

I just caught a Rilou in Safari with 5 perfect IVs,,, even though I have to breed a female with the right nature and crunch and bullet punch this stroke of luck will speed up breeding by a lot.

Are there any benefits to hatching Munchlax instead of Snorlax?

Actually its base HP is 80. I guess the best you can do with it is have Blissey, Vaporeon baton pass wish to it.

Just got my Haxorus and Gardevoir. So far this is what I have with 5 IVs and fully EVd:

The Magikarp in my party still needs to be EV trained. Not sure what I'll breed after though.

Oh that's not that great. Still an 80HP/80Def is considered decent bulk. Maybe he gets 90HP as some older pokes got marginal upgrades.

Baton Pass, Spikes, Sword Dance, Megahorn, Speed Up Scolipede or maybe a Skarmory
 
I think I'll finally give up on Hidden Power Ice Rotom. I need to learn more about breeding for Hidden Power.

I suppose my next project will be Mega Kangaskhan. Once you've been paraflinched by one of those bitches, you want one of your own...

The best thing about battling is tricking the opponent. Like Jolteon taking out ground types with HP Ice just as they think they got me. Feels so damn good! Makes breeding for specific HPs worth it much more
