It was funny when my Venusaur dropped a hoard of Psyduck with one Razor Leaf and they all tipped over like dominoes. That moment of pleasure was worth the future pain.

The second gym town should be your first chance at new clothes.Yeah that's just the hats.
Could be. I haven't got much further than the first gym, sorry.
I'm having too much fun messing around and catching pokemon and stuff to advance myself!
Thanks, I'll look forward when I'm ready to advance then.
Question about EV training:
Do you train the pokemon in to whatever it is you want it to become? I'm kind of confused about the whole thing but from what I understand it all depends on the pokemon's nature?
For example: If i wanna train a charizard to be a defensive machine, does it need to be a certain nature or can it not be a defensive machine due to it's original stats?
I've played every pokemon game since red/blue and never bothered to learn this stuff. Can someone please summarize it for me in the easiest way possible?

There are shorts, definitely.
You can EV train a Pokemon however you want regardless of their nature.
Same here, really. Too busy training and catching. XD
What I usually do if I am super afraid of KOing a Pokemon I want to catch is inflict Paralysis, then use Swords Dance and some other status move over and over until their PP is 0. Then use a timer ball. Takes some time, yes, but it's better spent in battle than running around in grass hoping to find the Pokemon again.

Speaking of Aegislash, isn't it better to seek out a honedge with a defensive nature because it'll go over to attack anyway or does stance change not work like that. I'm pretty sure def base stats are higher so you'd be getting more out of that 10% or am I wrong?
My Braixen is level 30 and I didn't really try much lol.
(All the pokemon I've fought from trainers are 15-16...)

What HMs are required in this game? Also, who is the best HM bitch?
Haha nice, I haven't found anything other than Pancham that I like so mostly just trying to catch most of the stuff around the beginning first.
I just found Axew so when my eggs hatch I may train him.
Heard Pancham was good, I think my friend uses Axew.
I just don't get it. Maybe I'm more confused because I'm trying to read about IVs as well and I need some friggin sleep.
Can't wait for the strategy guide and hopefully it explains it in a way slow people like myself can understand

So I caught a lv. 30 Goomy and maxed out its SpAtk in super training. It went from 56-69. Is that all the difference EV training makes or will it continue to affect his stats as he levels up?

I was surprised when Pancham could learn Surf, lol. All four of his moveslots are HMs/TMs needed in overworld. The perfect HM slave for this generation.

Hnngg them squeezing arms accentuates the important parts.
My 3Ds keeps disconnecting from the internet every now and then and it's GODDAMN ANNOYING.
Can't seem to find the issue even on google, except that some people had this issue in the past as well. Great.
It started a few months ago during Animal Crossing and never went away. Sometimes I can get 15 minutes of connection, sometimes 2. Fuck this shit.

What's Golden Writ?
Bears can swim. Now I have to look up if Beartic could learn it, I'll laugh if not.

Goddamnit murkrow.
You shouldn't be this hard to catch.
I already wasted 8 ultra balls on you.

Pretty sure it can since I used it in Black and it was my surfer. It has shit special attack but it was useful to have a surfer

So is cut required in this game?

WTF.
Does murkrow has a low capture rate or something?
I wasted 12 ultra balls trying to get him.

Does anyone think a bulky spread for Clawitzer would work?
These are his base stats (allegedly):
HP 70
Attack 70
Defense 100
Special Attack 130
Special Defense 100
Speed 55
With a Bold nature (+Def -Atk) and 252 EVs in both Defense and HP, do you think I could have something special in my hands? Or am I better off using Vaporeon if I want to use a bulky water? I was originally planning to use Vaporeon for that role, but I need Wish on him which is a hassle I don't want to deal with until I'm done the main game. Also, Clawitzer is new and using new Pokemon is fun.

I am halfway through and so far only to get to certain items, not to progress with the story.

You should start carrying Timer Balls and Quick Balls. More efficient than the standard Pokeballs, and cheaper to boot.
Route 1 took me the longest.

It was a horde battle so quick balls wouldn't work as well.
That bloody murkrow wasted a couple of timer balls too.
Figures that a premier ball is the one which captured it.

No longer canonical
Is there any other way to get Sylveon besides finding a level 19 Eevee on route 10? Because I cant run into any and my patience is gone.
I think the only HM that is required is Surf. And they even
give you a Lapras right as you need it just in case, so you don't have to put it on one of your other pokemon

Damn just checked in IV calc and the Lucario Korrina gave me apparently has perfect speed IVs and 25 each in attack and spe attack.
Hmmmm wondering I should just run a mixed Mega lucario. Or even possibly pure special.

When does Floette learn another Fairy move? Is it worth waiting with the evolution?
Or alternatively: When and where can I find a good Fairy move TM?
