Can I take Azumarril? Can't trade now though, going to class!
Ok, just beaten the elite 4 and the champ.
Time for the friend code hoarding for the friend safari!
So whats the best way to get into this part.
Alakazam is alright, but U-Turn is common in the current meta. You're better off with another sweeper.Not played in awhile.. but I want to put together a team that can hold its own in online battles (Nothing too serious) I'm weighing up which Pokemon I should put together to make a decent team. Currently thinking:
Galvantula - Set up with sticky web
Greninja (Protean) - Various type moves for STAB
Charizard (Mega Y) - My favourite Pokemon <3
Togekiss - Fairy Fluffer
Lucario - Physical Sweeper
Alakazam - Special sweeper?
I'll worry about EV's and stuff later on I just want my types covered and just any suggestions off people. I know a few of my Poke should probably be swapped out off the bat, a couple others I'm thinking: Aegislash, Klefki, Volcarona.
I basically want some guidance to get started on building a team

Klefki's good at setting up. I'd replace Galvantula with it. Sticky Web is helpful, but you get better coverage with Spikes and the two screens than Sticky Web.
Lucario doesn't make a good physical sweeper imo.
You need a tank/staller in your team btw.
I dunno dude, it's hard to recommend Pokemon. But you definitely need a tank/stallers. Eviolite Porygon2 is pretty good for beginners, check it out.Who would you recommend?
I have a Klefki, its moveset at the minute is Substitute, Swagger, Thunder Wave, Foul Play.
I was thinking this.. again, any suggestions? And for Physical sweeper, I was thinking Garchomp instead?
I'm not good, but let's see what I can come up with. Someone who's actually good can probably give better advice though. :<Not played in awhile.. but I want to put together a team that can hold its own in online battles (Nothing too serious) I'm weighing up which Pokemon I should put together to make a decent team.

Lucario is fast enough with Sticky Web support and is a dangerous sweeper at +2. If Talonflame switches in on a Swords Dance, it won't live an Extremespeed. If stealth rocks are on the field, Lucario doesn't even need a boost to kill it.
Gengar absolutely clowns on Brave Birders. If Gengar is faster, Focus Sash makes sure you can get in two hits. If not, you can just Destiny Bond them if they try to Brave Bird your 1HP away. It's not perfect, they could switch into another Pokemon faster than Gengar, but unlikely. Mega Gengar even negates the oh so scary switch. I should try him, but it's hard to pull away from Mega Venusaur which is basically the backbone of my team.
Didn't know there where 2 pokemon threads.
Also wooohooo I caught my second shiny the series! While ev training my pokemon I encountered a group of gligars and one of them was shiny! I made sure to capture that damn thing in a luxury ball with no damage. It's nature is timid (neutral) so it could have been much worse.
Saw Kabutops on the list of shinies: =D
"Weak Armor": =(
No problem!Sorry for the wait, Frost_Ace!
That's its best ability!
Timid is actually +Speed, -Attack, so not really ideal. On the other hand, a Gliscor with no attacking moves is actually viable - Toxic/Substitute/Roost/Protect should be able to stall out practically anything (after you've gotten rid of their Steel/Poison types, of course).
Hm, I go by the colors (since I'm playing spanish) and there are none. Usually I tell natures by going by the strong (red) stat and the weak (blue) stat. Timido has no colors.
Thanks for your recommendation though! A stall would be a good idea.
Finally hatched a (technically) perfect Pokemon. A Darumaka with 31/31/31/x/31/31 IVs. Sp. Attack is completely useless for the thing, so I consider it a success.
Now I'm going for a (technically) perfect Drain Punch Meditite with the same IV spread. Will EV train it to be bulky, so I'll see how that goes.
...I could really use a 6IV Ditto. If, you know, anyone here has one to give away.
Bashful is neutral, could timido mean bashful or shy as opposed to Timid in this case? I don't know much past 8th grade spanish heh. Possibly just translation confusion. If there are no colors it is definitely neutral.
A 5IV physical attacker missing S. Atk is actually as close as you can get to perfect without 6 IVs too, because if you have a special attacker you technically want a 0 in attack so you hurt yourself less with confusion! But that and 0 speed gyro ballers have always been too much of a pain for me to breed. Unfortunate, because I love gyro ball Ferrothorn. Worst is when you have a speedy mixed attacker on your team, you really want that to be 6IV but it is so much harder to get than 5IV.
Pokemon's been good to me lately.
Hatched myself a 6 IV Fletchling so I can join the Gale Wings trolling gang (sorry!).
Also caught 2 shiny Pokemon within the same hour; I heard how great chain fishing is, but didn't realise it was that good!
I'm not sure, bashful is a different word in spanish but the spanish in Pokemon is slightly different from my own (then again I speak a "ghetto" spanish, like reaaaaalllly ghetto).
I'm just assuming Timida/o is timid minus the o since a lot of english words are just retooled spanish.
Now that I got this I actually want to use it, here's my team so far (already ev trained, just got to get the moves). I'm still thinking out items so I excluded those.
MEGA AMPHAROS elect/dragon -volt switch/drago pulse/focus blast/thunder wave
FLYGON - ground/Dragon - earthquake/draco meteor/stone edge/u turn
TOGEKISS - flying/fairy - dazzling gleam/fire blast/nasty plot/roost
STARMIE - water/pyschic - surf/psyschock/rapid spin/icebeam
SLAKING - normal - return/earthquake/hammer arm/retaliate
CROBAT poison/fly-bravebird/taunt/defog/roost
GLISCOR - ground/fly - toxic/roost/substitute -- earthquake OR protection
I'm stuck with gliscor, not only do I have to swap him out with someone I can't decide if I should go full on stall (would be awesome to annoy my friends) or have that 1 offensive move.
Crobat also serves as a semi-stall with a great offensive attack and I love him too. Gah decisions!
EDIT: @v1perz53 I'm not sure if Ferrothorn can breed with forretress but I have a zero IV forretress with 4 perfect ivs (hp/attk/def/sp.d)
Ultimadrago's Shiny Giveaway
As announced, I am giving away a variety of Pokemon in my possession since I have been changing from regular Pokeballs to a variety of others. PM for interest and please only ask for TWO for the time being and only ONE of the same.
Averyn, can you get me one of your rejected gale wings fletchling? Any nature/IVs will do. I just need the ability.
I like Flame Body, but Gale Wings sounds awesome. I need to try that.
RNGed a Bold Suicune. 31/17/31/31/31/31
And I caught it in a Quick Ball... On purpose. Take that, ball police! Took a while though.
Oh, I got it for the Battle Maison. Now I just need to breed Multiscale Dragonite and an Adamant Aegislash... in Quick Balls. ^_^
I did it on Soul Silver, yeah.
I'm not going to trade it off. It's supposed to be amazing for the Battle Tower/Subway/Maison and the entire reason I played through Soul Silver again a while back was to RNG one, though it took me a while to get around to actually catching it (like a year+). I can clone it though.

I like that you are going with pkm you like, not Pokemon considered amazing. I try to do the same.
That said, remove Slaking. I love him as well, but Truant renders him useless. =(
Everybody can predict the turns you are going to attack and the turns you aren't. If any pokemon has protect they can basically set up freelly on you.
I love the everlasting shit out of Slaking and have been desperately waiting since the bank came to bang him out.
I know that truant is the dumbest thing ever (I'd much rather a small nerf in stats) but he's been my goril....errs sloth since gen 3. I'm not giving up on this glorious beast. *prays for mega slaking....hopes he doesn't get mega truant*

I'm kinda curious to know why you chose this set of Pokemon. What was your thought process behind choosing each of them and what do you think they bring to your team?
I got a Kalos Articuno for a Mudkip the other day. I was sort of stunned.Going to see how much I can get people to bite in the gts before using friend safari to fill up my pokedex.
I got the sinnoh starters, starting to breed some as trade bait
Has someone here a FS with Chansey in it?
I don't. But I do have an extra around. 3IV, Natural Cure, /w egg moves if interested. Think I got it off GTS.
I actually wanted to farm some Lucky Eggs as Forkball mentioned them. Thanks for the offer though! : )
