In Canada, the Mega stone comes via code sent to email. We get the lazy method =P

Any chance someone is interested in trading he's Mew in for my Manaphy ?
I got 128 in a row in Doubles using Kangaskhan, Dragonite, Talonflame and Hydreigon.
I rarely lost more than 1 Pokemon up to battle #100. It's so easy to cheese it with Kanga and Fake Out, and Multiscale Dragonite with Weakness Policy sweeps half the time.
Once I started seeing teams with Cobalion, Virizion, and Terrakion is when I started having trouble.

Prankster utility. Klefki, Sableye and Liepard will have to take the reins. But if non-Kalos is allowed then Whimsicot is an option.

So how do these serial code things work? Is there just a flyer I walk in and scoop up?

In the UK you had to ask at the till for them to print out the code on a receipt so hope you have an employee who knows what you need to do to make that happen...
Yep, then go home and enter the code in Mystery Gift, when connected to the Internet.

Not news by any means, but... Dang, that Talonflame is pretty broken sometimes.
I would assume so too, since they all share the same nickname (and everything else).
And I feel bad because I was the one using it D:

I wanted a Naive to take advantage of Diamond Storm, Moonblast and Mega Diancie's purported speed boost. At the moment, I have a Hasty with low Attack IV that I got from a trade, so I'm kind of halfway there : P

That's what I assumed. Though if I go by another spot with Captain after getting one I'll try it just to see.
I was thinking one with + Speed but not sure which Naive or Hasty. Plus, does it really get much of a Speed boost as Mega?
Aveyn Knight
Member
I was thinking of Naive because of all the scary physical attackers. Plus Diamond Storm can boost Defence.
As for the Speed boost, we'll probably have to wait till ORAS to find out. This is what the blurb on the official site says though:
I'm guessing the answer is no but does anyone happen to have a spare Master Ball they don't need? I'm soft resetting for a decent Zapdos but it's been excruciatingly slow. :l
I don't have much to give in return to be honest. I have some decent 4IV Sableye and Gastly lying around?

I can give you one, don't even need anything in return.
This is probably a long shot here, but, Jirachi is the only Pokemon I do not have (excluding 6th gen events). Does anyone have a spare?
I have a SUM2013 Shiny Dialga up for offer. That's the best I can do at the moment, unless I can trade it for something else, then for a Jirachi.

If you hang around long enough, we have a dedicated Jirachi farmer in this thread : P
Well I don't have to work until Friday so I guess I could hang around for a bit, lol.
That would be fantastic! You sure you don't need anything in return?

No, that's fine. FC is in the profile thingy.
Same. I'll go online in a minute

Still trying to hatch a shiny. Been a couple days, but because I've been at it for so long, I don't want to just leave empty handed.
In other news, I really want a Stadium sim on WiiU. Yeah yeah, I know pokemon is 3D now and everything, but I think it can still offer a better battle experience. The main idea I have in mind here is that I want to dip into the triple and rotation battle game without suffering from doodoo framerate. It's the one thing that keeps me trying them now

I'd even take Battle Revolution on the Wii U. Anything!
If you're on your shiny hatching hunt, and you have the will to go on, don't give up. I gave up on my hunt for Squirtle after...700-100 eggs (not sure how many), and I still regret it.
Muku

Just keep at it! Couple days isn't long. I've spent up to a month and some change on some Pokemon. :/ Handful have been a real pain. Worst one is Porygon which I've gone on two long streaks to get, but put it off to get something else. One day I'll get back to it. Some are just disheartening, but it makes it all worth it when one pops out.
I'd kill for another Pokemon Stadium. I really enjoyed them for a different feel versus the storyline games.

Well, that's new.
Based on old topics that I read here.
Don't give up, I almost did a couple of times already but in the end it is worthy staying and trying some more.
So, I've got another favor to ask. I'm trying to find a way to get Squirtle (with the mega stone) from my Pokémon Y game to my Pokémon X game. Would anyone be willing to help me trade from me to you and then back to me in my Pokémon X game? I'd transfer whatever Pokémon you'd trade from Y -> Pokémon Bank -> X and then trade that back to you for my Squirtle. Shoot me a PM if you can give me a hand. Thanks!

The Wii U is asking for a Pokemon Snap sequel. Hell we even have a Gym Leader who is a photographer!
Ivan A Nguyen

You mean the Ability Capsule? If so, that only allows you to swap from a non HA to a non HA if Pokemon has more than one non HA. Can't transfer from a non HA to a HA with it.
I just learned that the hard way this morning. 200 battle points down the drain. I used it on my shiny Audino instead.

Sorry, I can't help you on this. If I bred myself a shiny I'm keeping it lol.

Wouldn't expect it since I have nothing to trade of value anyway. (Unless you count a shiny Pansage that I'm trying to offload because Pansage sucks.)
Help is not going to come for this. I'm just going to bunker down and try to resist.

I got a shiny Panpour via Wonder Trade. I EV trained him, even though he will never probably be used.

How about trying SV matching? That's how I hatch most of my shinies.
Maintenance

Wasn't that blocked in a patch? I didn't read too much so I know that I might be wrong.
By blocked I mean finding your SV.
ST2K
Member
Pretty sure SV stuff is over my head anyway. Anything that involves external software is a bit too hardcore for me.
Encountering one of those in the wild was simultaneously the most surprising and vexing thing I've experienced in a game in a good while.
Screw those monkeys.

I've basically taken it upon myself to breed the entire Eevee evolution line, starting with Jolteon. Because I am a fussy cunt and a perfectionist I'm aiming for the perfect specimen; HP Ice, with 0 IVs in ATK so I don't have to worry about Fowl Play (not that it matters anyway, since it's so fragile and doesn't use Physical moves). I should also mention I've never bred for Hidden Powers until now.
Eevee - #133 (Timid)
Male (♂
HP: 31
Att: 0
Def: 26
SpA: 31
SpD: 31
Speed: 31
Y NOT THIRTY???((
I suppose this would be an opportune time to test out the Time Machine method so I can pass down the last IV? I have a Ditto with 30 DEF and shit everything else, so in theory all I would need to do is give it a Power Band and the Eevee a Destiny Knot? Correct?

Sure I can trade one, did you want one with Water Pulse or just vanilla? I have a vanilla lying in my X eshop game.
My ears are burning.

Nice. Apparently, I've got to get into this wonder trade racket.
Ivan A Nguyen

How is this even possible? I thought all legendaries couldn't be breed.
Wyndstryker

They can't, but can be farmed during events if you have a couple of 3DS's at your disposal.
Muku

There is also the Wishmaker Jirachi farming. Pretty sure that's what lupinko was doing before.
For current events you need to go to the event in person and claim the wonder card and event pokemon, transfer it to another game, and then wipe your farming game and repeat over and over.
For older events it varies: Wishmaker Jirachi and Ageto Celebi came on bonus demo discs and all you need are new saves to receive them in your gba carts. That's just a shortened explanation, it gets a little bit mor complicated for Celebi.
I own carts of ruby x2, sapphire x2, emerald and leafgreen x2. So you can figure that one out.
For my pokemon ranch Mew event is limited 1 per MPR save, so you can farm this by depositing 999 pokemon with two or more carts (doable with one but not for farming) and giving Hayley a leafeon and egg each time. After you get Mew you just withdraw all 999 back to your carts, wipe the MPR save and then do it again. It's annoying since it takes days to unlock but you can forward the wii's clock to get around it.
Other people also transfer to Pokebank but you lose any held items.
I do that again as well as Ageto Celebi farming. Trying to perfect Hayley Mew farming eventually as well. Tho that one is a lot more annoying to do.
Ivan A Nguyen
Member
Ah, so there is still hope that I might be able to get some of those rare legnedaries. I'll complete my living pokedex one of these days!
You can also farm the legendaries from Dream Radar (I do this also), so you don't need any gen 3 or gen 4 game to get access to Sinnoh dragons or Johto guardians, you also get the Unova genies too, all with hidden ability.

I need someone to clarify a few things regarding the Time Machine method.
I'm breeding a Timid 6IV Ditto with a Modest Eevee with the following stats:
Eevee - #133 (Modest)
Male (♂
HP: 22
Att: 0
Def: 30
SpA: 31
SpD: 31
Speed: 31
The Eevee is equipped with a Destiny Knot and the Ditto is holding an Everstone.
My aim is to pass the perfect IV in HP down so I will end up with HP Ice.
If I'm doing the whole noting down which 'mon passed down which IV thing, if both parents share the same IVs, how am I supposed to know who passed down what?

If all you're looking to do here is pass down a perfect HP IV then why not do the Knot on Eevee and the corresponding EV trainer item on Ditto. After you've got an Eevee with it, just throw the knot on him and the everstone on ditto and breed for nature. It's a lot easier to get IVs before nature in my experience.
Or can we not do that anymore?
