My face when hardly anyone is talking about the whole Gamestop thing.
I guess everyone already has the other mega stone already? I think if it was a rarer item or Pokemon people would be really up in arms over this.
Anyways, I visited a Gamestop today and to my surprise there was a lady there from Nintendo! She had Wario shirt on and had her nametag/little carrier thing with her stuff in it.
Apparently it's a known problem and that they're looking into why Gamestop stores didn't get their kits on time. Unfortunately they didn't have any idea when they may get them in so I was told to keep checking back.
Guess we just gotta wait. Anyone able to get the stone today?

Can I grab those?
I can offer the following in return... if I recall from a few pages back I think you're generally looking for females with egg moves with a preference for Love/Dream balls?
Misdreavus / Love Ball / Nasty Plot, Sucker Punch, Memento, Spite / Timid
Igglybuff / Moon Ball / Fake Tears / Bold
Shellos (East Sea) / Luxury Ball / Clear Smog / Bold
Cubone / Friend Ball / Adamant
Corphish / Pokeball / Aqua Jet, Superpower, Dragon Dance, Knock Off / Adamant / Adaptability
Chansey / Luxury Ball / Seismic Toss / Bold
Not sure about EVs, but should probably have some that are at least 4.
And if you'd like, I also have a female Surskit with Hydro Pump in a Dream Ball that I could breed.
Yeah, I have X; one of my friends has X and an e-shop copy of Y that he's reset and done a new playthrough on a few times, so I've gotten a Heracross stone from him.

Lupinko, are you either/or for 5IV/4 egg move trades our do you want both?
So since the Gamestops in CT don't have their promo packets with the codes yet (they were supposed to get them last Friday) and supposedly will be getting them later this week, I turn to you PokéGaf. If anyone would be willing to share 3 unused codes with me (I've got X and 2 friends have Y) I'd be forever in your debt. In exchange, I can offer a bunch of Steam games, Humble Bundle games and/or a game on GOG. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Ugh, I've seen everything in the Central and Coastal dex but I still need 38 for the Mountain dex because so many Pokemon are only obtainable by breeding for some reason and the GTS offers are always terrible.
Either/or but I'd prefer both, both is not a deal breaker.
Females preferred, rawr lol, if of course in a love ball, dream ball or premier ball.
Well, I knew that too, but it doesn't matter anyway because I saw my shiny spreads in rng reporter and it'll take forever to get what I want, and with no way to cheat time like gen 4/5 it's even worse.
I already did my dream ball Misdreavius but a love ball is better since I can always redo it. Friend ball sounds cool but it's Cubone.
Misdreavius F
Corphish M
I'll reserve yours.

I am taking an improper amount of joy in taking down entire teams of ubers with my Shuckle.
It feels decadent.
Would you take a shiny Pansage from the wild for a Jirachi? Or are you only looking for high IV stuff?

Untrained and never used pansage? What kind of ball Pokeball? That or premier is preferred. But we can do that do trade too.

lol just figured I'd try out a Marowak on a Trick Room team against my buddy
I've only recently started paying much mind to pokeballs, and this is the first set of monsters I've imported up and bred mostly with that purpose. I'm gonna figure out some more non-HA monsters I can nab with Love/Friend/etc balls in Silver.Have 5IV monsters of your two choices, though think the 5th perfect for both is in Attack/SpAtk and not HP if that's fine.

Oh the IVs aren't that important, like I said I already did my own 5iv Misdreavius set, I can just breed my male with that female to get my egg moves in and then let the ditto do its job. Unlike others I don't care for this to be shiny.
For Corphish I want the egg moves and I can always rebreed it.

It's in a normal Pokeball. I caught it on a new file in my trip through Santalune Forest. As a result of EXP share, it isn't untouched though (Got it to level 19 before I banked it.) Is that a deal breaker?
Nah not a deal breaker. It's fine.
We can do that trade, which Wishmaker Jirachi do you want so I can reserve it?
Gentle with TM or with the berry?

Gentle (with TMs) would be fine, thanks.
For my VGC team that looks to never be made because of my breeding and farming I'm looking at:
M-Tyranitar
M-Mawile
Garchomp
Carracosta
Flygon
Skarmory
Although since I want to do VGC and that's always doubles and the lack of hazard play, I could replace Flygon and Skarmory with Bisharp and Staraptor. Edit: But Staraptor is kind of out of place for this Sandstorm team.

Just trade a scatterbug for anything on the GTS, as long as there are crazy vivillon pattern hunters you'll be able to get anything thats not a legendary for a scatterbug,
Or do what I do, offer 5iv 4 egg move competitive pokes or crappy nature Dream Radar legendaries.
Wyndstryker
Member
Tried the 5IV egg move competitive pokes but it's not as quick. And I'm too lazy to farm for legendaries even though I have the means lol
Hey my Axews and Riolus got me like 60% of my GTS trades.
And the dream radar legendaries instantly give me what I want like say a level 50+ male Skitty to breed with egg moves.
I shouldn't have evolved my Kalos Champion Skitty to Delcatty, it loses ALL of the Skitty moves from the Move Reminder. Lol
Speaking of Skitty can anyone provide a female in a love ball?
I would use it in a VGC team.
Edit: A dream ball HA Skitty works too, lol now I want to use a Skitty competitively.
I should separate the Sandstorm team from the non-Sandstorm team.
My planned pokes to make either team are:
Tyranitar
Mawile
Skarmory
Carracosta
Flygon
Garchomp
Choices for substitution or for a Team 2:
Haxorus - the most ready
Staraptor
Lucario
Bisharp
Skitty (lol?)
Glaceon
Machamp
Salamence
Toxicroak
Talonflame
Man way too much variety, the sandstorm team is pretty much set tho.
Too bad no Hitmonchan in VGC, I'd love to put that on a team. Lol
My triples dumb fun team is set tho.

When it comes to egg move pokemon, wonder trading on wednesdays every week gets me a ton since one of them pokemon youtubers/streamers does wondertrading then. Thats how I've been getting my supply of egg moved pokemon. And shinies too.
By the way, if anyone wants stuff bred I'm happy to do it. I'm in a weird time-zone for most people that aren't in Japan though.
(Currently working on a Marill with Belly Drum, Superpower and Aqua Jet)
(I also have two 5IV Modest Empoleon at level 50 (252HP 252SpA 4Spe) destined for Wonder Trade)
Dammit I just Wonder Traded ~15 4IV Axews
Oh shit that's exactly what I'm looking for at the moment. I'll post a list of things I have bred (alternate natures and Pokeballs possible).

Give me a few minutes to set this experiment running and I can do it. I have a box full of Foreign Pokemon I need to trade evolve so I'm always happy to help out.

Actually, if you planned ahead and got a Scatterbug pattern in your game that is kind of rare... you can trade them for anything. Well, 5IV ones anyway. I trade my 5IV Monsoon and Sandstorm Scatterbugs all the time for legendaries on GTS. Amazing Monsoon still has the trading power it does even after all this time. And Sandstorms go quick as hell.

A female Rough Skin Gible in a Premier Ball would work great. I was actually just about to try and find one.
You want a male or female Corphish?
I can't do Premier since it's not from a Safari I have access to. Only Luxury or Poke

Female Corphish then, and what nature Gible do you want?

Actually, I completely forgot that I have a Gible safari from a buddy, just caught my initial batch before he had beaten the E4 lol. I'll take a Marvel Scale Dratini. Female, whatever nature's fine.
(Edit: Will need your FC though)
I'm thinking about using Gallade also in singles and doubles.
Either of these with Justified / Adamant:
Hypnosis or Thunder Wave
Protect
Close Combat STAB
Psycho Cut STAB
Or
Close Combat STAB
Psycho Cut STAB
Earthquake - general purpose
Shadow Sneak - Ghost / Psychic counter
I would like to hear opinions. I can do both move sets on separate Gallades. Since they would do different things. I'm divided on Hypnosis vs Thunder Wave though.

I'll take Lugia and Regirock.
Yeah, I'll send you a PM when I have it. Do you want it ASAP or to wait until I get one with 5IVs? I'm still trying to get Deadman his Gengar back at the moment because the stupid WT Japanese Machoke had Strength and he can't trade it away from his party <.<
60% accuracy's not worth it IMO

You can toss one to me with whatever IVs, I can get those sorted out myself. The Corphish I've set aside has 4IVs I think.
That's what I figured, I also noticed it can learn WoW, so that's paralysis vs burn damage.
Hmmm.
I really want to try this out but stupid farming / breeding.
I should get my XY LL fixed already so I can farm breed on two 3DS and train on one. Lol
That attacking Gallade would be used in conjunction with a Baton Passer hence the lack of SD.
So, I'm trying to work on my team, but then I realize there're way more important things I should be doing, and I stop after doing little to nothing. A few days ago, I took my Crobat and an inner focus Zubat to the daycare to see if I could get a 5IV inner focus one with the egg moves, and even after that I still have to breed and train Swinub and Aerodactyl, and finish raising Hoppip.
I'm currently pondering whether I should go for Mega Scizor or Aerodactyl. Scizor gets lots of extra bulk and some more speed (I'll probably be running adamant anyway, since base 75 speed when mega won't be outspeeding much... or will it?), and I guess Aero's unnerve is a lot more useful than its mega's bulk and ludicrous speed.
Please elaborate.

Nothing special or unheard of and probably not as good as it could be. I had never really messed with tanks/walls before and decided to try with Shuckle. So I raised one and I've been playing on Battle Spot with it exclusively as my lead.
I've got it holding Leftovers and using Toxic, Protect, Sticky Web, and Power Swap. People will send out Mega Charizard, Mega Garchomp, Zygarde, Mewtwo, Mega Blaziken, etc. and completely not know how to deal with it. I open with Sticky Web and Toxic, they throw their most powerful attacks at Shuckle and he shrugs it off and gains back some of it via Leftovers. Power Swap debilitates their attacks even further, and by the time Shuckle goes down usually their entire team is debilitated. My sweeping Greninja and Magnezone can mop up anything that's left.
I'd say around 75% of my battles are against people who don't know how to deal with him. The rest either do or luckily lead with something that combats Shuckle incredibly well. It's a completely new experience for me and I love it.
So far for team #2 aka not Sandstorm:
Bulky Swords Passer Mega Scizor
Reckless Staraptor
Dragon Dance Haxorus
All Out Attacker Gallade
Rotom-W
Bulky Support Clefable
I don't know who to put in for that 6th slot, I would want a Mega or anything with Levitate or flying, so Talonflame? Haha but that's redundant with Staraptor. Reason mainly because of earthquake coming out of either Hax or Gallade.
Edit: I figured it out, I'll try working on this team too and soon! Decided on Mega Scizor and Bulky Clefable.
And this is designed with doubles in mind.
Edit: Sandstorm Team
M-Tyranitar
M-Mawile
Skarmory
Carracosta
Flygon
Garchomp
Double mega gives me options really.
This is a lot of fun just coming up with ideas.
And with that said anyone with a dream ball or love ball Clefairy / Clefable?

fffffffffffffff of course I hatch a Shiny Gible (without noticing and almost releasing it lol) in my first batch of eggs when I was quickly breeding for nature before adding egg moves. Perfect Atk/Def/SpAtk, Rough Skin, Jolly, Male, Premier Ball. Tempted to raise it, or maybe I'll see if I can hatch another shiny and trade this one.
