Man, must have missed you on today. ;_; Woke up feeling awful today and got on much later. I replied to your PM, but also have a HA Dratini you can have when we trade.

I'm breeding your love ball Buneary btw.

Ffff... that's mean. Wait a sec, is that for these tournaments only? I could have sworn my Level 40ish Kingdra was levelled to 50 for the April Friendly. Will have to check the Battle Video to make sure.
Ooh, this might sound weird, but if you have any spares could you spare me one? Been wanting to breed my own Buneary/Lopunny and that Love Ball sounds ace.

I recently started a new save file with the intent of getting some Kalos certified legendaries. I hadn't SR'ed for anything in my first playthrough.
After 3 days of SRing I can present my final Xerneas:
Xerneas
Modest
31/4/31/31/31/30
In a Luxury ball.

Nice, I'm quite jealous.
When I get around to restarting X, I'm hoping to SR for a HP Fire Xerneas. It's going to be annoying to keep having to fight

The Battle Competitions I posted yesterday have been confirmed for the west
Players have the opportunity to earn Championship Points toward a possible invitation to the 2014 Pokémon World Championships by participating in the 2014 International Challenge May or June tournaments.
The Think Fast Competition: Single Battle will test players’ quick thinking. Each round is limited to one 10-minute Single Battle, with a 30-second preview of the opponent’s Pokémon and 15 seconds to choose a move each turn.
Only Eevee and its many evolved forms can participate in the Eevee Friendly Match [Name TBD]. The Rotation Battle format adds a fun component to this competition.
The July All Star Battle [Name TBD] will use the Double Battle format. Up to two Legendary and Mythical Pokémon can be included on a team, a rare occurrence in Pokémon Online Competitions!
In August, the Think Fast Competition: Double Battle will require players to go into battle without seeing a preview of their opponent’s Pokémon team, and each player can have only one Pokémon in reserve, for a total of three Pokémon per side in each battle.
Look forward to the Fairy-type Cup [Name TBD] this fall, a competition where entry will be limited to Fairy-type Pokémon. The battle format is to be determined.
In a special competition for the Halloween season, the Halloween Party [Name TBD] will have a special Single Battle competition for Ghost-type Pokémon only. Also, every contestant’s Battle Box must include Gourgeist!

You got it chief.
I know you can unlock your battle box by quitting the competition but then I think you won't be able to join again.Oh no, I entered the May competition with an Infiltrator Meowstic! Am I able to change Pokemon or am I screwed?

I want to evolve my Dusclops. Can anyone help me do this?

I can. Just give me a few minutes though to finish breeding my Phantump, then you can help me evolve it into a Trevenant at the same time I help you.

Pretty much that. Or grab a cloned 6 IV Ditto to replace a 5 IV parent.

Probably obvious if you have two 5IV Pokemon, but make sure one of the parents is holding a Destiny Knot.
Wyndstryker
Member
Sadly yes.
Even if you have two 6IV pokemon and destiny knot, you're guaranteed 5IV's to pass down and leave the 6th one to luck.

You can always hit the jackpot with the shiny being a 6IV lol.

possible spoiler

So... anyone doing the May International?

Modesty becomes a woman
I can't tell what this is supposed to be a remix of. I played Red and Blue.
The May International hates me. Sitting at 23-7, but I've been getting crit and missed hax to death. So many games too close for comfort. Almost lost a match to a critical Hyper Voice that nearly killed my Mega Kang and Rotom-W, after the Rotom-W was crit twice in a row by Mienshao Drain Punches.

Finally gotten all the Vivillon patterns...
Now to work on getting a full kalos born kalos dex, and then breeding my battle teams. Luckily sending all these 5IV feebas in wonder trade is getting a ton of lvl 1 pokemon with 4 egg moves.

I used to think ya'll were nuts breeding for shinies and specific ball types. But once you've mastered breeding for stats, you kind of get the urge to take it even further. lol. I really want a shiny Diggersby called Bugs, but I don't know if I'm ready for this undertaking.
I have them ready now for you and Aveyn Knight.
Edit: should I do Dream Ball Garchomp or premier ball Garchomp.
The former is cooler in some ways better but the latter matches him up with American Dragon bro Hax.
Been really getting into breeding for the first time thanks to XYs infinitely improved mechanics. Just got a 23 streak in my first super multi battle run with a friend, stayed up super late. Really cool. Its like a whole new game again and its rekindled my love for pokemon...i never cared too mucb for the post game battle factories and stuff because i couldnt be bothered to breed, and similarly, was a major smogon lurker, loving to learn and dabble in theorymon but never quite getting the hang of it. Can't wait to try competitive with a better grip on everything.

You should get ready for the June International; the May one rekindled my interest in Pokemon.

I think X/Y did nothing but help the game. I never got into breeding for stats until this gen either. It was too much of a pain before, but now? I love it. Started off breeding for stats.. but then just got into breeding (for stats) plus shinies.
Haven't jumped much into competition yet. I'm having too much fun breeding still. LOL.
Edit: Though thinking about it, think my major hitch about competitive stuff.. is I just don't play that way. I don't want to have to worry about some crazy Trick Room set up or something. I'm very much a offensive, blow them out of the water quick type of thing.
I don't know where you're getting "all competitive teams have some crazy strategy" from. Your preferred play style works just as well - if you can keep pressure on the opponent, then they won't be able to set up.

Never tackled a competition, but from sound of it, sounds like they've all got some kind of set-up strategy rather than brute forcing. I guess maybe that's why I've not really looked beyond bit I've read. I can't say I've read about brute force teams... seems like everything is about some kind of set up.
Though, thinking about restarting my copy of Y for a different Vivillon pattern. Thinking either Ocean or Sandstorm.
Leaning towards Sandstorm even if my preference is to Ocean, even though both feel just as rare as the other.

I have lost almost every single battle so far online, but I don't care - having so much fun! Takes me back to the days when me and my friends used to battle each other in the first 3 gen games.
Purely offensive teams are more common in single battles (nearly all Battle Spot Singles teams are pure offense in my experience; 3 Pokémon per side makes setting up not worth it).
In doubles disruption such as Fake Out and Encore is much more valuable, but strategies like Trick Room and weather teams are actually less common in high-level play than you might think.

That's actually good to know then. Need to get around to making a team and maybe join in June. Though what does the April Friendly and the May tourney go on? Singles, doubles, or triples? I figure singles are more offensive. And while I like singles, I'm wanting to branch out a bit. I tend to like doubles a bit.

Recently beat the E4 and I've been looking to get some dittos with multiple maxed IVs. I've caught about 30 from the friend safari so far and nothing's had more than 2.
Should I just keep at it? I've heard about the chaining method in Pokemon Village, but haven't tried it before and I'm not sure how easy that is to screw up.

Someone here might have an extra JPN 6IV Ditto for trade. It'd be easier (and a great chance to MM breed at same time).
April friendly was singles 3v3, May and June competition are doubles 4v4.

Can someone explain to me how this makes sense?
A Noivern with -4 Sp.Atk uses Draco Meteor, does about a quarter damage to my Scyther. I proceed to use Sword Dance. Now, with -6 Sp. Atk, Noivern uses Draco Meteor again, and with a critical hit, takes out all of my remaining HP.
WTF?

Oh.
Still, cost me the match ;_;

Critical hits also ignore defensive stat increases on the defending Pokemon. Critical hits are pretty rough in these games.
