Nothing in particular right now, though I eventually want to make myself a Japanese language dex, so being able to get the legendaries without needing to give up any in exchange would be nice (+now that I'm thinking about I believe I actually did fill in my living Japanese dex of the new X/Y Pokemon outside of the legendaries and Phantump/Pumpkaboo, because screw them and their uncancelable evolutions.)

Yeah sure, I'll be around here
Ah, that picture represents rarity not power, now I get it!
A lot of the bank legendaries out now are mostly Japanese, but some are Korean. There are a couple of English ones too. From what I've been reading, they're getting harder to get.
I chain traded to get a number of bank legendaries, but I'm not sure if my method still holds up. People are saying Porygon-Z is where it's at right now. So maybe...
1. Breed Elgyem, Darumaka, or Baltoy
2. Trade for Rhyperior
3. Trade for Milotic
4. Trade for a legendary bird
5. Trade for a Swords of Justice (-Keldeo)
6. Trade for Porygon-Z
I'm not sure if it'll work. I've stopped refining my method after I completed the dex.
It depends, but my Gliscor's been doing great without any speed investment. Also, why SpD?
It doesn't through GTS, and I'm pretty sure online in general from last time I checked.
Edit: In fact, if I remember correctly the only method, at least online, was to trade it as an egg, and it would keep its region. But I never got around to getting help with that, unfortunately.
Sure
That's not right. If an everstone is attached to the pokemon, it should not evolve regardless of where you got it from.
I've gotten hit by it before. I think it's meant to be an anti-trolling measure to stop people from going "lol, bet you thought this would evolve." But I've definitely had it happen to me before.
Edit: A collaborating source.

That is stupid. >.<

I suppose GTS and Wonder Trades are an exception. Trading a Pumpkaboo/Phantump with an Everstone through a regular trade will prevent the evolution, though.
Gonna use gliscor for agility/baton pass so I wanna be able to keep him in for at least a couple hits so I can get them agilitys in. His def is already good so I don't think it needs much investment anyway. Might be wrong tho!

Every time I see Giratina I can't help but think it's the dumbest looking legendary, if not Pokemon - at least its "Altered Forme." Picturing it scampering towards you with those 6 caterpillar legs is the least threatening image I can think of.
Invest mainly in speed, but also have some in defence
Smogon's SubPass Gliscor set has 244 HP / 40 Def / 224 Spe

Greninja is probably better than Nidoking. It's faster and Protean is just too good of an ability.
Nidoking is only guaranteed a OHKO with Thunderbolt against Greninja, and that's if it can somehow pull off its attack first... which most Greninja's who are leads use focus sash.
You're just gonna have to hatch them all.
The Altered Forme looks all kinds of stupid. I really don't like it either
You can also train attack in route 5 with scraggy hordes. It's a bit annoying because gulpin come up just as often, but it's better than nothing haha
That's what I expected..
Oh well, Fake Out/Icicle Crash/Pursuit Weavile should be worth it.

Just curious, when it comes to singles, does everyone here follow Smogon rules? If they do ban Mega Lucario (which is looking pretty likely, sigh) I'll probably end up raising a Mawile as a replacement. -_-
oh shit

I don't follow Smogon rules and I don't think many people here care.
Btw, why is it likely that Mega Lucario will get banned?
Huh, Mega Lucario is on the verge of ban? Interesting, I guess. And I'm sure you could find some people here who don't care about Smogon rules.
Seriously though, get into doubles because that's where it's at. I tried it seriously for the first time in B/W and I haven't looked back since.
Sneasel will never use Special Attack so there's no real benefit to having a 6 IV one.

Wait, is this ANY Mew can't be traded on GTS? I have a Mew still from the MYSTRY Event and I was gonna pop some up to see if I could maybe get some cool shinies.
Ya know..whenever Pokemon Bank comes out ;___;

They better not ban Mega Lucario. I will cry.

I was just double checking. The last time I battled online prior to this gen was generation 4, where people would disconnect if you used evasion or "banned Pokemon" and the general understanding was that 6 v 6 was "Smogon rules". I was just wondering if that was still holding up today.
There's a lot of posts here about how Mega Lucario is too strong, unpredictable (you don't know if it's a physical or special sweeper or mixed until it's too late) and yadda yadda yadda. Truthfully, I'm surprised people have that much of a problem with it. I thought Blaziken, Gengar and Kanga would be the end of it. I wonder who will be the next target. -_-

I would like to consider it, but I'm the type of person who likes to use my favourites--who are unfortunately mostly glass cannons. If I could find a way to make them work in doubles I'd be pretty happy, but I just can't see how it would work out. :/

One is holding a Destiny Knot right?
IVs are randoms. If you have a 6IV parent and another 6IV parent, you're likely (I don't want to say guaranteed since I don't know) to get a 5IV mon. As for the spread, it's random.
6IV doesn't really matter in most cases. Just as long as you get perfect IVs in the stats you want, that's fine. HP, Def, and SpD should generally be perfect. Attack/Sp Attack is give or take. Speed should be perfect unless you're going for a Trick Room team.
I assume most people here don't use legendaries... well, not competitively anyway. I use Landorus since it's not banned from Battle Maison.
And Mega Lucario possibily getting banned is surprising. A number of Pokemon in the OU counter it and it dies in one hit most of the time.
I'm OK with Mega Blaziken being banned, but I've had no problems with it. Mega Kangaskhan should be banned because it sucks!
I figured as much. Thanks guys, I was getting tired of this D: And yes, they hold Destiny Knot.
Only one of them need a Destiny Knot. The other should hold an Everstone if you want to pass down the nature.
Well, that felt good. Just beat a random dude online who loaded up with legendary pokemon with my TR team... in which I had forgotten the training step of giving my latest setter its TMs. I was crippled and I still plowed through him! Ah, the difference halfway decent training makes.

yay i can clone now!
Oh yeah, I've also come to grips with that stupid balloon game. It's incredibly poorly made, but it's essentially just a random lotto for your pokemiles that gives out evolution items. So that's fine by me. But it's still really poorly done.
Edit: Oh, and I just fought a dude using a shiny Meowstic, and that thing has a nice golden shine about it. I like it!

Yeah, shiny Meowstic looks awesome. I just got a shiny Espurr, but I want one with the hidden ability, so I'm still breeding them
Tiamant, thanks!
They better not ban Mega Lucario.
It's totally going to happen.
yes
Can we trade tonight?
