If they put it for that then i expect that Ability capsule to be permanent rather than one use.

Hey, some Pokemon with hidden abilities are unobtainable still; fair price I'd say.

True, but assuming it's still possible, you guys know one of us would get it and clone it a billion times haha!
I'm convinced that Contrary Snivy will never see the light of day.
And even if it did, wouldn't it still be overshadowed by Contrary Malamar? Or would it still be able to stand on its own?

Haha, that is true. That kind stuff is too good to hold on to just one person.
Actually wish I had more to share.
I played with one last gen on a simulator, threw a scarf on it and it breezed through anything that didn't resist Leaf Storm. After one boost even stuff it hit neutrally went down in one hit.
Hey guys we have been streaming all day. The tournament is still going In Long Beach where close to a thousand people showed up.

Yay something to watch while I train my Vullaby
Sad I wasn't able to make it on the stream :/
I had a match which was going in my favour til my opponent d/c'd... or maybe the service just dropped.
Anyway, she killed my Porygon2 with her Delphox. She used Fire Spin to trap it and a combination of Future Sight and Mystical Fire to do most of the damage. The Future Sight critically hit it though, it would've survived otherwise. Whatever, it was cool because I didn't expect her tactic to win against my stall.

i just started battle Maison
20 single battle was easy
then, shit happen
start super single battle and i start to struggle in every one
i have chansey Bold 31/31/31/31/25/31
EV : 252 def , 252 SP def , 4 HP
hold : Eviolite

saw Altaria , tried Dazzling Gleam on it, only took 15-20 HP from him .and its super effective
but he attack me with ice beam and 1/3 of HP is gone

Chansey has 35 base special attack. Against a bulky dragon like Altaria it's not going to do anything. Seismic Toss or even Toxic would have done more.
Use toxic and just stall

I personally don't go for stall tactics in battle maison as you need to play fast for a win streak in a reasonable amount of time (mega evolution animations are bad enough here).
I decided to give super singles a go as I should fare better than I do in super multi (using a Sun team, Aerodactyl or that other rock/flying fossil usually show up sometime and its gg there) and I've got a streak of 46 so far. Had a few close calls. The best was not knowing Cobalion had justified and winding up double sucker punching it with Mega Karn (I knew it outsped me, was fighting and had sacred sword so with that info it seemed like a smart move) leaving only Garchomp to take it on. Garchomp failed to kill it with Earthqukae but survived +2 sacred sword with 2 HP and then rough skin took care of the rest (if it had died Cobalion would have fainted first and I'd have lost...thats how it works, right?).
Oh yeah who was the other team member. Talonflame lead. STAB recoil, roost and tailwind (tailwind suicide may not be the best, especially when you survive turn 1 but 'Karn loves the tailwind), EVs are still an experiment (trying to work out the sweet spot for speed when I need to use flare blitz as gale wings makes it irrelevant for the other moves, I also accidentally gave it 20 defence EVs, which have been surprisingly useful).

Next team he faces suddenly leads with a Lucario and has 2 other steel types as well.

I do feel like trying a pure stall team though using just toxic and will o wisp to see how far i could go in the maison.
EDIT: Still watching the Indigo Plateau season of Pokemon and damm there are a lot of puns in it. I don't remember all these puns lol.
I've gotten a 49 win streak by mostly stalling with Porygon2 and Mega Venusaur. I had Infernape to do damage though when it was getting boring.
I might try out my new stallers and see how they fare.
i tried , Altaria is faster then me, he killed me in the second stall
next one have Magnezone that doesn't effect with toxic
what other moves that have constant hit ratio ?
seismic toss and dragon rage,,,any other moves ?
return is good ?
try this: Seismic Toss, Toxic, Aromatherapy, Softboiled.
No idea why you're using dazzling gleam or protect.

This can't be said enough. Battle Spot is worse than cancer. Whoever thought 3v3 was a good idea should have been strangled at birth.

Play doubles. More options and less sweeping.

I was watching the stream yesterday and the first place the stream was from (not sure where) was having a crappy framerate. Was there a crappy connection or was there something wrong with the equipment? Also, did you guys get permission from the people running it to record matches?

Should I still use Life Orb on Sheer Force Nidoking with a Earth Power, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, Sludge Wave layout or is that only for moves without a secondary effect?

I just finished X and loved it. This was my first Pokemon game since blue back in the mid 90's. I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing but I really want to get into team building and breeding I'd love to add some friends. Should I leave my friend code here or are you guys doing it a different way?

I sprited the best gen 6 mon!
Also trying out a new avatar.
Sliggoo is better. :3
Definitely should. When the move has a secondary effect, you won't get damage from Life Orb, and all of those moves you have do secondary damage.
Well you just leave your FC and ask people to add you I guess.
People here can offer you Pokemon to help you start breeding and stuff. There are guides in the OP of OT3.
How dare you insult our lord Goomy? Look at what you did, you made it angry.

Thanks, man! Wasn't sure if it only cancelled out one effect if there was two. Definitely equipping it.
What moves did it have? Did it take many hits?
It was an scarfed one so that took me by surprise when my Accelgor attacked second, it took quite a few hits and a couple of switches with stealth rock on the field, so yeah, it resisted more than I'd have liked :/
Who knows why people do anything.
Earlier I fought someone that used a Genosect, Arceus, and Giratina.
They knew when to approprietly switch out on my pokemon, but pretty much only used Fly.
I mostly fight Mewtwo and Xerneas.
With Xerneas, I just stall. Mewtwo's a bit more annoying, but still easy to take down.
Can you imagine what will happen when Pokebank hits? Darkrai everywhere!
I've been doing doubles in battle maison and I use Speed Boost Baton Pass Blaziken. It's pretty fun. I'm only at the lower levels but I'll see how far this team takes me.
Team is Blaziken, Heatran, Empoleon, Tornadus-T. I get like 1-2 speed boosts with blaziken, switch to Empoleon and just sweep mons, that's the main idea of the team. I think I need better moves tho.
Blaziken@Blazkienite
Hi jump kick
Flare blitz

Baton pass
Heatran@Air Balloon
SR
Fire blast
Forgot move lol

What do to make team more deadly?
Also, Shiny Mega Blaziken is soooo fresh.

A bit off topic, but might I say that your Friend Safari is hella rad. Espurr and Shadow Tag Gothorita? Hell yes! Sorry my FS isn't as good, though.

Looks like I'm transferring my miles to PGL soon; just looked it up and confirmed you're right. The PokeMiles you earn from Pokemon stored in the Bank can be exchanged for Battle Points instead. :/
