Man, if it worked like that i'd be scared to see the shenanigans that would pop up online.

You could always try having dought and mega kangaskarn instead because solarbeam is the only grass move karn gets. Well outside of HP grass I suppose. But for 2 stages might as well safeswag.

I just realized Unown is a stupidly rare pokemon as it's only gen 3/4 and dream world. Time to grab my unown farm from leafgreen and transfer them all the up to XY lol.

I finally went after the Moltres in my game and i'm not sure if it's a keeper or not:
Moltres - #146 (Hasty)
HP: 31
Att: 8
Def: 31
SpA: 31
SpD: 20
Speed: 31
Seeing 4 31's does make me happy but knowing it's hasty and not modest like I was going for does kinda suck. But what do you guys think?

My mind has just been blown.
We've all noticed Diantha's theme contains part of the Gym Leader theme from Ruby/Sapphire, right?
Well, I just noticed it also has Xerneas/Yveltal's theme in it :O
(also just before that, there's the three-note motif from Deoxys' theme in FireRed/LeafGreen, but that could just be coincidence)

Thanks a lot for the torchic darth!

I'd say it's a keeper, after seeing all the crap moltres going around on gts, that one's amazing.

Thanks guys! I plan on trying him out online later, though with what build I have no idea.

How long have you been SRing and what's the Moltres for?
That Special Defence irks me a bit, but it's on par with my Zapdos's Defence, which I ended up keeping. So it's definitely worth thinking about at least.
Hasty lowers the Defense even further. I wouldn't keep something without the right nature, regardless of the IVs.
Jeff Vader
Member
I only started today so seeing that kinda surprised me. But even though hasty lowers his defense the speed goes up so it's like a (more fragile) timid one no?
Well, yeah. But I'd still go for Timid. Are you using a Synchronizer?
Jeff Vader
Member
I was using a timid mew to synchronize with yeah. Ah well, i'll just have to buy Y and try again xD

Can someone help me evolve a Seadra in a couple of minute's time? Dragon Scale will be provided : )
I can help do a trade evolution or give you a breedable if you want.

That would be ace. My FC is in my profile too; IGN is GamerGuides.
I'll post again when ready (need to find somewhere to evolve Horsea ASAP).
Got these going spare:
Feebas w/ 2 egg moves [5 IV]
Fletchling w/ Gale Wings [4 IV]
Horsea w/ Sniper and Clear Smog [4 IV]
Male Eevees w/ 4 egg moves [5 IV]
Sleepwalker

I'd like a feebas if possible. Sure, i'll be on for a bit.
Aveyn Knight
Member
Wise choice : D
BTW, if you send me a Prism Scale during the initial trade, I can evolve your Feebas during the second trade.
EDIT
Well, assuming you like the stats of the Feebas. It's female, Timid, missing Attack and has Haze and Hypnosis.

What do you guys think of a hasty Mewtwo X? Is that a good nature to run for him or is a regular timid Mewtwo a better option?
Sleepwalker
Member
What are his IVs?
Sleepwalker
Member
Mewtwo X is terrible as far as cart goes, he has no access to moves like zen headbutt or any other tutor moves so you'd have to run brick break and stuff that's just subpar.
I'd suggest just running a regular mewtwo, only way mega mewtwo x is worth it, is getting one with tutor moves from past gens into pokemon x/y.
Sleepwalker
Member
That will do, just give me 5 mins.
Aveyn Knight

Okay, I'm all ready now : )
Just need to add your FC and go online.
BTW, this is the outline of the trade, in case I get things mixed up.
Trade 1: I send Seadra with Dragon Scale and you send me a random unwanted Pokemon with a Prism Scale
If Kingdra learns a new move, skip it don't let it learn it. Also, Seadra has Pokerus, but I don't think that should affect your Pokemon since you're not battling.
Trade 2: Immediately after trade 1 (and after Seadra evolves), I'll send you Feebas with my own Prism Scale while you send me back Kingdra.
Give me a shout if you're okay with everything and when you're ready to trade, thanks!

Yeah I saw that. I still can't figure out why GF wouldn't sneak in a few extra fighting moves for him to learn in XY or a Mewtwo specific tutor.
I'm getting super pissed at online battles.
Tried making a poison team, but I can't win.
A fucking Greninja beat out my Crobat. Fucking going for Attack-boost nature instead of Speed is the only reason I lost that fight. So fucking annoying. Dealing with Tyranitar also sucks major ass.
I just want to cry. I can't do unranked because it's just fucking legendary wankery and ranked is try-hards using OU shit. They need another bracket that enforces sleep clause among other handicaps to assist other try-hards like myself to feel good about the hundreds of hours I dump into pokemon only to get my shit pushed in.

I'd go with that but with the boost of assault vest, going with points in sp def instead of hp works better for taking special attacks, so it depends on what you want.

Sounds about right, i'm ready now.

Yowch, sounds painful. I haven't bothered with online yet in fear of this happening to me o__o
BTW, are you (or anyone else) free to battle within the next hour? I had some friendly battles scheduled for today, but nobody's messaged me yet.

I'll battle you with my mono fire team.

Sounds fun.
I'll post again when I'm ready. Need to grab a drink and check if my team's ready ^^
I just don't have the tools, I guess. I tried doubles and got stomped and then did 3v3 singles and got wiped by a fucking garchomp using EQ. What's the fucking point of EV training DEF on my Drapion if he just gets one-shot anyway.I just do 6v6 singles against passengers, I can't stand 3v3
I still wanted to train a Nidoking and Venusaur, but don't know wtf to do anymore
Currently it's this:
Pzn team with poisoning focus
Gengar
hex
disable
thunderbolt
sludgebomb
Drapion
crunch
EQ
agility
toxic spikes
Dragalge
draco meteor
venoshock
haze
toxic
Crobat
defog
brave bird
steel wing
cross poison
need roar or dragon tail or something to get the poison going around, but it's futile when all my shit dies in one hit. It's just frustrating because this is the team I've been wanting to make for almost 10 years, but now I'm so defeated. I have little faith Nidoking and Venusaur can pull this team out of the gutter.
Aveyn Knight
Member
I'm ready now : )
Sleepwalker

Venusaur is a great tank (specially his mega and has access to thick fat) he can also put mons to sleep with sleep powder.
As for Nidoking, be sure to get one with sheer force + life orb on the special side, sludge wave hits like a damn nuke and he avoids life orb recoil.
Also be sure to put items on those pokemons, I'm pretty sure a sashed dragalge can ohko Garchomp with draco meteor, since poison is weak to ground you also need coverage for that typing, so get someone with ice beam (nidoking, or even gengar but i'd advice king)

Gg man, had Cincinno killed Ninetales I would have been screwed.

Yowch, got incinerated, but that was great practice. Thanks ^^
Will have to work on my tactics a bit more...
Hmm, that would have been interesting. Up for a rematch at a later date? : P

Of course man, whenever you like.
Also, perhaps, you should take a look at this: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=785418
It's a great challenge to participate in and it will give you practice.
My Mewtwo X is Modest. I didn't want to bother soft reseting because I liked the IV spread. Hasty should be fine.
I run Poison Jab, Psycho Cut, Rock Slide, and Brick Break.
It sucks but thus is life. I recently bred an all fighting Pokemon team which is fun to use but some stuff like Talonflame rips right through it. I pretty much exclusively play unranked though. I don't mind battling legendaries because I usually carry a Keldeo, Meloetta, or Mewtwo X.
So far that fighting team, not counting legendaries, is Machamp, Hitmonchan, Primeape, Infernape, and Scrafty. I still need one more if I want a team of six without legendaries. I have a perfect Torchic that I haven't gotten around to leveling up yet but it seems redundant with Infernape already there. Lucario seems like the better choice but he will take forever to breed. :/
Does anyone here have a Lucario breeding reject with 4 IVs and Bullet Punch? I could offer a breeding reject of my own in return.
Anger Point w/ Scope Lens.
Poison Jab, Seismic Toss, Rock Slide, Close Combat.
I have played around with replacing Seismic Toss with a stat booster but he is so fragile he rarely gets the chance to benefit from it.
Jeff Vader

Hey Orange? If you want I can breed a Riolu for ya.
That would be amazing. What would you like in return? Charmander? Zangoose? Tyrogue? Nasty Plot Togepi? 2 egg move Squirtle? HA Treecko? Something else? They would all have at least 4IVs.
I have a few different things and could always breed something quickly.
Jeff Vader
Member
Togepi sounds fine by me. I'm just hatching them Riolu now, they should be getting 5's since i'm using a 5 iv Lucario and the 6 iv god Ditto.
