I think Grand Duke is part of the requirement for that. I remember the nurse in the Pokemon centre said something different to say and now has different dialogue (I honestly usually use the PC these days though). Kind of like how the battle institute says "The master has returned" if you got master rank on any of the modes.
Total Pokemon n00b question: Those training bags in the super training, uh, training...I have like five HP-M bags but not sure if I can use them all on one Pokemon to beef him up or is it the type of thing where once, let's say, Picachu uses an HP-M, using another one won't have an effect!?
Yeah, you can use the bags as many times as you want. As you get EVs from battling , vitamins and bag-punching you'll see the bar on the right begin to fill up, as the hectagon grows in size. You'll know when a pokémon won't accept any more EVs because the vertical progress bar will stop filling up, and once you fill that bar you won't be able to give it any more EVs at all.
thanks. The whole EV's thing is taking me longer to feel comfy with than I anticipated. Really need to read up more on them or is that something I shouldn't worry myself too much about if I don't plan to compete online?
Quick breeding question guys: I got a malen Riolu with vacuum wave and bullet punch through wonder trade a while ago, I'm now levelling it until it learns nasty plot. If I breed it with god dito will the offspring have all 3 of these moves (after evolving to Lucario ofcourse)?
Nasty Plot's not an egg move, so it'll not transfer over.
No, there's only one Charizardite per game. If you got Charmander from the professor they won't be selling Charizardite.
The real question here is: why you were using Swalot?
Bubble would probably kill it.
IVs and EVs don't actually matter unless you plan to battle competitively.
We'll be holding a little GAF-league soon, with gym leaders for each of the eighteen types. Perhaps you should give it a try as an added challenge once you're done with the main story.
Personally, I'll try to have a B-team I can bring out against non-competitive players to make things more fun for both me and my opponents.
I think we should do some exhibition matches before we launch and upload the videos here. Perhaps we could even do multi-battles to showcase four leaders at once.

Can I use Pokemon from the Battle Box for the Battle Maison, or will I need to put my team back into my party?
I got a similar thing on my 18th battle, where the AI used a freaking Manget Pull Magnemite to absolutely wall my banded Scizor's Bullet Punch. Battle Maison makes it seem as if the AI always metagames against you, ending up with a team of pokémon that resist yours and have abilities and items that do so as well.
However, you should use this loss as a lesson to pack at least a priority move or two in your team (or using Focus Sash) to avoid being sweeped by a single pokémon after some stat-up moves.

It lets you choose which upon entry. But you can't have 2 Pokemon from the box and one from the party.
The Yawn/Acid Spray/Gunk Shot combo was working pretty well up until that point. I have Swalot as my lead, Blastoise as my 2nd, and Garchomp as a closer.
Ha, that's true. I need an opening combo that takes less time to set up.
GAF, I need some ideas for a good lead 'mon. Any ideas?

Thanks. Been breeding Goomy's and have a party with the fire robin and eggs currently, and can't be bothered depositing them all for a quick go of the Maison.
Some lead Pokemon I really like are Greninja, Noivern and Rotom-W. You already have those types covered though, so that's probably not a good idea. Greninja soloed the 50th battle for me, though. So powerful!
Some options I would consider would maybe be Gale Wings Talonflame, Gengar, Aerodactyl, or, some kind of Fairy type Pokemon. You can also use a Vivillon for great success with Sleep Powder and Compound Eyes. Or a Volcarona perhaps
Isn't Gunk Shot physical?
For setting up, you should consider something that boosts your pokémon's stats rather than lowering your opponent's, since thos boosts won't matter once they switch or get knocked out, while a swords dance would stick as you continue to sweep the opposition.
I'd say that you use whatever you like, but remember that you most likely won't have too long to set up and that you should try to pick your attacks so that you can hit many things and hit them hard. Packing a pokémon with two moves of the same type is often a hindrance, since your current Swalot build could be stopped in its tracks by any steel-type.
Like I said before, it's also vital that you pack some priority moves to get through opponents after they have set up, or that you use a focus sash or something with the unaware ability to put a stop to them, since you're likely to come accross and AI opponent that forces you to switch right away, giving it a chance to set up on you.
I'm ready to go! (or will be when I get home from work tonight).

I just need to EV train and evolve 2 Pokemon, and I'm ready. Finally on the tail-end of this fuckin' chest cold.

Gunk Shot's accuracy is way too low to be consistent enough for the Battle Maison. :/
Awesome. Also, sorry for disappearing from the chat recently! If I get a chance I'll try to pop on tonight or something.
I guess some PokéGAFfer who does cloning could get you one.
That's true. I don't really want to be a bother though :\
Wow, after over one decade and 1000+ hours of play across Gen 3, 4, 5 and 6, I finally got my second ever random shiny, the first one being a Rattata back in Pokemon Silver.
This one's a female Frillish, got perfect IVs in Def, Sp. Def, Sp.Atk and Speed, unfortunately it's HP IV is just a 4, so it will probably just sit in a box for a long time.

You're awesome! Thanks for doing all this hard work, you deserve the first challenger!
I'm in the middle of a terrible cold, but hopefully I get better soon so I can take on some challengers
Homework on a Friday?
Perfect IVs in 4 stats? That doesn't seem like a random encounter
Well, I meant random as in not Gold/Silver Gyarados or guaranteed shiny event pokemon.
Coming up with layouts for the league thread, starting with the leader info sections:
Poison-type Gym
Leader: Wichu
and similar for the other leaders. The banner is a link to the leader's GAF profile; the information in the banner is briefly repeated below for the benefit of mobile-GAF.
There would also be sections explaining the rules of the challenge, links to the different rulesets in use, links to competitive battling guides etc. Am I missing anything?
What should the title be? Something simple like "Pokémon X/Y: NeoGAF Gym League"? Do I want to get it OK-ed by a mod first?

Available: 10:00-18:00 GMT

By the way, where can I find the badge to put onto my avatar?

I meant a bigger version.

You'll have to pester Wichu.
I haven't finished all the larger versions yet, sorry
It's taking me a while longer than expected (I'm busy with other things too), so I might not have everything sorted until tomorrow... Hope that's fine with everyone.
My original idea for a subtitle was to quote the anime theme: NeoGAF Pokémon League | To Claim My Rightful Place
But I'm loving the Gym puns. NeoGAF Pokémon League | Rustle My Gymmies
yeah it sucks
EDIT:
Is everyone OK with the league using the Smogon banlist for 6v6 singles? (i.e. Blaziken is banned, Zygarde is allowed, Kangaskhanite/Gengarite/Lucarionite are banned). Battle Spot singles and all doubles/triples formats would be unaffected.

We did.
It's still Kalos Native.
Just that Mega Kangaskhan and Mega Gengar for singles pretty much dictate the metagame with their presence.

A Darkrai, eh? Why Darkrai? Ugh. I guess the real question here is, where would you put that special code? Because if I could buy an early ticket and get a Darkrai that isn't someone else's initially, I'd be game for that. Plus get a move on it that it can't get elsewhere would be awesome. Curious how that is going to work. Going to go and see if I can get this months CoroCoro today anyway.
You looking for Charizardite X or Y?

Just to confirm, yes, we did, and no, that doesn't have any impact here since you can, for example, have a kalos native Blaziken.
