Don't take your childhood angst on Umbreon!
I haven't played many online matches, but with the Elite Four Umbreon's Wish and Moonlight are awesome ways of depleting PP of powerful moves. I need to get the Toxic TM so I can teach mine that, but just sitting there and letting people destroy themselves is a slightly sadistic but ultimately satisfying tactic.

Yay! Helping you get closer to obtaining your Shiny Charm is good shiny karma for me and helping me with my Premier Ball obsession is good shiny karma for you!

Breeding question.
I currently have 2 growlithes with flash fire, is there any way to breed one with intimidate? (this is not a hidden ability), every single egg seems to have flash fire. :/

I think you lose precious coverage against steels without focus blast/hp fire. I suggest using a cresselia for the support role.
Yes, it's possible, chance is said to be 20% if you are breeding with a female with flash fire.

Ah, how times have changed.
I remember in the GSC days, I was convinced I'd never get a Lucky Egg because Chanseys were so rare as were their Lucky Eggs.
Now you get a free one in X and Y and I farmed 5 Lucky Eggs (enough for a whole party) from a Chansey Safari in the space of a hour.
Fingers crossed the next games add more Move Tutors. I want a legit HA Eevee with great stats and Hyper Voice X D

I love the GTS. Was wondering how to get some trade evolved pokemon then I realized I should just ask for the previous form and when I get it it'll evolve.
And of course using Scatterbugs for the trade.
The scatterbug thing has really been helping me get a lot of the pokemon I want. I'm at the elite four now and looking to take them out tonight after work.
I finally got around to beating the Elite Four in X the other day so now I'm doing enough end-game content to feel comfortable posting in here now.
Found myself addicted to Wonder Trading. I usually get trash but every once in a while I get a cool starter or something I don't have and one time I got an Espeon! I noticed I've been getting a lot of Froakies and even one time I traded one away and got one in return haha. Sometimes I'll be nice and give away a something like a Haunter or Machoke so it'll evolve via trading.
I guess right now I'm just working on filling up my Pokedex and working on creating some teams for battling. (i'm doing soooo bad in online battles so far though lol)

Nice.
I usually Wonder Trade my breeding rejects; I wonder (no pun intended) if anybody got any use from them?
Also, funnily enough I sent off an Espeon a few days ago. I doubt you were the "Dawn" that received it though : P
I once got a Shelmet while trading away my Karrablast breeding rejects. Sadly, the Accelgor I got was one that was just caught in the wild, so it had no cool moves or abilities at all.
Still, I feel like wonder trading takes way longer than it should. My internet went out once after the game had found a trading partner for me, and I still ended up getting the long trade animation and keeping the pokémon I got from the wonder trade, which probably means the whole trade animation thing isn't even needed, and you could end up saving lots of time if there was a way to skip it (or at least make it a little bit faster).

Getting trolled by growlithe, hatched about 15 males and 0 females so far.
Is there a comprehensive guide to the Pokemon Bank? I've been holding off on transferring until now.
I have pokemon coming all the way from R/S and have been slowly going through White 2. Do I need to beat the elite 4 to do the transfer to Bank? What about if I have pokemon in White 1 I want to trade to White 2 before transferring? I'm sure I have some duped/hacked pokemon I've received over the years. Is there any kind of filter or what? I just don't want to lose some of these babies I've had for ~10 years.

You said it's a non-hidden ability you're after right? Why don't you just use an ability capsule to change it to the one you want after you're done breeding?

Sorry, I didn't explain myself properly, I already got a couple intimidate ones and they come up randomly, just had bad luck at the beginning, but out of 30 eggs or so i've only had 1 female which is what I needed to breed close combat from lucario into a growlithe, now I'm working the IVs up but already have the egg move.
Still, nature is gonna be a pain in the ass since I don't have an adamant ditto, went to the village and caught 5 and all 5 turned out to be gentle (christ). I don't have a ditto friend safari in my FL
What do you want to be doing
getting badges

Oh, well that's different then. I looked it up and I had no idea the male/female ratio was as bad as the starters.

I have an extra Growlithe that is Adamant. Not sure how egg moves get determined, since this one has some already. Though I imagine you can go to move deleter to remove the ones you don't need.
Adamant ~ Intimidate ~ 31/x/x/31/x/31 ~ Moves: Bite, Roar, Morning Sun, Close Combat
He's all yours if you want.
I also have a bunch of Adamant / intimidate Growlithes 4-5 IVs, some female ones too.
I'm really liking Shiny Jolly Wish Xatu, she's only superior potential / 2iv but is a lot of fun. Kinda tempting me to do a perfect breed but I have enough of a backlog as it is. Lol
I'll just EV train this one while the Axew factory continues to chug along.

Where are you in the game? How many badges do you have?
I don't think you need to beat the elite 4 to transfer to the bank, but you need to do it to transfer from gen 4. You can transfer to pokebank from White 1 too if that's easier for you.
If your pokemon is illegal it will just tell you that something is wrong with that pokemon and it won't be transferred, it won't be deleted or anything.

I've had that happen once. It was horrible.

I've had that happen once. It was horrible.
I never saw it until yesterday going through Victory Road on my JPN copy of X. (And I played around there a lot on my main copy and never saw 'em...) I ran. I was like no way I'm fighting this horde. Creepiest encounter I've ever had in Pokemon.
Gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking about it.Nintendo Playstation

Does anybody else have problems with the Day Care dude? He doesn't always turn around when he's holding an egg. It's really starting to piss me off.
Yeah it happened to me a few times, annoying.

Guys, I'm terrible at this sort of thing. How many speed EV's would an Adamant Chlorophyll Sawsbuck need to outspeed everything at level 50?

Please do. I have been meaning to breed Growlithe but finding I have 3 males I've got in my "to breed" box and if I can find one of them a home that'd be great since I don't think 3 males are going to do me good there. Just let me know when you're available and he's yours.

I'm available now if you can, I can give you a female growlithe with close combat not sure on intimidate or nature front but should be decent IV wise lol. Have tons of 5 IV.
While trying to catch HA female Abra Ina premier ball, I just encountered and caught a shiny HA siglyph, female and calm. Lol
Edit:
I'm online right now too, I added you awhile back.

Ah, no worries then. Already have a shiny Ditto though, so no thank you. Better off giving that to someone who needs one.

That female is neutral nature (i think) 5IVs and has close combat, should be good enough for breeding. Thanks to you man!

Muku you can take the hippo! I was just hypnotized by it briefly!

LOL you sure? I admit it's color is hypnotizing.. it's such a badass.
Edit: Outside of Aegislash screwing me up and me not paying attention, steamrolling this E4. It's been fun rolling with damn near perfect Pokemon this run. Pokemon are 80+ and eating the E4 for dinner. Champion is about to bite the dust now.
Also, thank you for the Hippo! What a badass. I traded the least shittiest thing I had at moment. (No one wants a Piplup army.) Plus it's the awesome version of that one anyway.
