Nice, I just started trying to hatch a shiny Feebas today.
Sadly don't have Shiny Charm, so just have to cross my fingers twice as hard ^^;;;

My Xerneas is 5IV Modest, but I soft-reset for them.

If I had one at all, I could clone them like I do Ability Capsules
PM'd you dude
I have one you can borrow
Will have to be a bit later though because it's breakfast time!
I can get you one, give me a few minutes.

You know, I love you.
Yeah no problem, glad you liked the Abra Nintendo Playstation!
My Xerneas and zygarde both have outstanding and superior potential I forget the values. But because I caught them when I first came back to Pokemon since like 99/2000, I didn't care/know about the importance of natures/IVs. So I got with gentle and sassy respectively. I guess I could always restart in the future now with bank and my y game, but still the history man, my wonder cards! Lol
I won't mess it up with Yveltal or Zygarde again tho, and it's the same reason why my X Mewtwo has crappy stats and is calm. :/

Thank you, already got a nice Pokémon for myself, a 5 IV Ralts (missing attack) and has Modest nature (+ sp atk / - atk).
While breeding, I also got three 6 IV male Ralts, Bashful, Adamant and Naive. ^^

Hahaha. I always look through magazine. Maybe read a little bit of the comics. Though always find something disturbing in them.
Still need help with that?

Can anybody Spare a Timid Haunter? It's probably my favorite pokemon and I haven't been lucky to find one.
I have a bunch of spare Timid Gastly if you don't mind evolving it yourself. I don't have any perfect ones left, but all of them are only missing one important stat.

I was looking through my boxes and noticed a huge fighting-type gap and I wanted to know which one(s) would be good to have for online? Should I go with Machamp and Lucario first or should I go with something else?
I'd look into Mienshao. It's a fast Pokémon in a typing full of slow bulky attackers.
Primeape is one of my pet favourites - it's not as fast as Mienshao, but it's still quite fast and has a nice movepool and abilities.
Speaking of slow bulky attackers, Conkeldurr is a nice alternative to Machamp. It doesn't live up to its full potential unless you can get one with 5th gen tutor moves, though
Don't think people are participating for the prizes though. Mostly for fun to be against monotype. That said, it would be nice to have more challengers. I am well aware that they are many who are taking in the midst of team preparations at the moment.

Funny you should mention that one, cause I saw it while playing B2. Did that one lose any moves between gens?
Nope, Mienshao learns all its useful moves in X/Y. The only exception might be if you want to use Helping Hand on a doubles team, but its doubles support movepool is still excellent (Fake Out, Wide Guard, Quick Guard, Feint, Ally Switch).

So I guess every Trainer in the anime has the same shiny value, right? Otherwise a Pokemon that looks shiny may appear normal to someone else.
I'm over thinking things again.

I put quick guard on my Chespin but I refuse to use him till I get a shiny! Which is probably why my competitive box is so small.
Oh. doing some reading on the Smogon (lol) a potential moveset recommended Reckless. Think that would be useful for a more experienced battler?

What's the rundown of that set?

I copy/pasted from their boards but I put the link at the bottom. Anyways, this is what one of them came up with using reckless:
Mienshao @ Choice Band/Scarf
Jolly/Naive Nature
4 Hp/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spe
-High Jump Kick
-Knock Off
-U-turn
-Stone Edge / HP Ice
252 Atk Pure Power Mega Medicham High Jump Kick vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Scizor: 354-417 (102.9 - 121.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 Atk Choice Band Reckless Mienshao High Jump Kick vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Scizor: 372-438 (108.1 - 127.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

It would actually go by what trainer is destined to see the Pokemon first.
Divine interference confirmed.

Yeah true enough. I have a friend who uses a few regen Pokemon and I swear they just won't die!
Just spent an hour and a half doing work and battling online. I swept three teams with Clefable only.
Also, I gotta say, Blissey is amazing. It gets taken down easily by physical attacks, but the way it backs up your team and tanks special attacks is commendable.
I'm getting tired of doing ubers so I'll be switching it up. I'm just finding it hard to try other team variations because my team now is awesome.

What's your Clefable set if you don't mind me asking? Are you using the stored power/cosmic power set?
I run Cosmic Power, Toxic, Moonlight, and Flamethrower/Psyshock.
Switch in against a staller or physical attacker, start powering up with Cosmic Power, and hope for the best (i.e., that your opponent doesn't get a critical hit lol).
Switch out whenever a strong special attacker is out if you haven't powered up at least two or three times.

Isn't it just the best feeling when you make a staller ragequit?
Was up against a Toxic/Stockpile/Infestation/Recover Gastrodon just then. A set designed purely to be a jerk and kill you in the slowest way possible.
Brought in my Sylveon with Heal Bell. He missed Toxic multiple times and I got some nice crits with Hyper Voice. Eventually, he disconnected after he ran out of Recovers and I started spamming Protect. :lol So much more satisfying than winning.

Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Lugia & Ho-Oh got it from Pokémon Dream Radar. They're quite common.
Mewtwo got it from a movie event last year. It's fairly rare

Ah okay, Dream Radar. Never dabbled in that. Though will be keeping an eye on Mewtwo then. Thank ya Joe.

There were some interesting teams there. Respect to the entrant who made a monotype psychic team (mawile, aegislash and kangaskarn can give them real trouble).

I've been throwing 4 and 5 IV breeding rejects into Wonder Trade recently (hoping they might help people) and received a shiny Solosis the other night. Honestly, I was about to resend it when I noticed the red star since the coloring is so similar to the regular version. It's missing the blue pentagon but I'm guessing that's because it was brought up from a different region/game? I was surprised to get my second shiny from WT of all places.
Could I have one please? I've been experimenting in the Battle Maison (still learning) and it would be a big help.
