been a while but question about pokemon that evolve with stones, are there ones that can still learn new moves or is heart scales the only way to get them?
Just to add to this, you can just use a Rare Candy on Sliggoo provided the other conditions are met (50+, raining where you are), and it will evolve.
Also, Salamence looks awkward in Sky Battles, since it only flaps its wings occasionally it just looks like it's floating most of the time :/

I wouldn't be surprised if the type chart had been tweaked entirely because of Aegislash. It would be astonishingly broken without its Dark and Ghost weaknesses- it's pretty damned beastly as it is.
I guess I'll try that next time. I actually have a normal Pokeballs-only policy but this is nuts :[
edit: HAH finally caught it with a normal Pokeball. Sleep Powder ftw.
You could say the same for Swellow. It looks like it's just gliding. Lol.

As I'm doing Super Training, it occurs to me that the punching bags are all based on pokemon known for a specific stat.
HP: Azurill line
Attack: Machop line
Defense: Aron line
S. Attack: Litwick line
S. Defense: ???
Speed: Zubat line
Anyone figured out what the special ones are?
Edit: After getting another one, it suddenly clicked for special attack. Still have no clue on special defense.

Quick question: If I turned off the forced save option, would it be possible then to get all 3 Kanto Starters by obtaining one and then trading it to someone without saving and then hard resetting and doing that for all 3 and then trade them back so I would have all 3 Kanto Starters under my OT?
I really want all 3 old starters even though I only plan to use Charmander and possibly Bulba. Don't know of any other way to really get them cause I'm pretty sure people are already asking for other starters for them. Then again what city is the Daycare in? Probably could start breeding my Froakie.

The lack of 3D is bothering me more than I thought it would, and I wasn't too happy about it when I first found out. If games like Animal Crossing, SMT IV, Fire Emblem, and Super Mario 3D Land can run fairly smoothly with 3D on I see no reason why this game shouldn't be able to other than a lack of time and/or programming talent. It's pretty disappointing, to be honest.
I expect better from Nintendo.

I really hope you can rebattle the E4 with better teams because this shit is laughable.
S. Atk is the Litwick line I believe.

Yeah, it's an incredible move as most priority moves are. He just has such easy setup and many cases can get himself a free Swords Dance. I wonder how he's gonna shape up in the metagame.
Trades will always save the game, regardless of if you save before initiating Wi-Fi.

I got one. I got it on my second try and my time was 1:56.9

how long does this last?
I don't think this was answered yet.
Yes, apparently Hawlucha can fly. I'm trying to catch him myself now. In this image it shows him with Fly. Strangely enough, he can't take part in sky battles, though.

Thanks! Good to know haha. So I would guess that probably breeding alot of my Froakie and searching for the exact trades of Froakie for Kanto Starters would probably be my best bet of getting them? Gonna go with Charizard then as my choice since he's the one I really need for my team.

Apparently this is what happens if you've only ever seen the Shiny of a pokemon. You can't view the normal color in the 'dex.

Where do I find this Tropicus?
Sky Battles seem to be limited to Pokemon that are actually flying as part of their animation, not necessarily flying type.

Once you've maxed affection the effects are permanent.

I am loving this game. I spent almost the entire weekend playing. The big surprise for me is Pokemon Amie. I thought it would be a little mini-game that I'd end up ignoring, but it's actually a really nice feature. The benefits from having a high affection are worth the time invested except for that damn "Chesnaught is in a pinch. It looks like it is going to cry." message. I feel bad every time I read that.
I have 6 badges already and I'm well on my way to being the very best - like no one ever was.

I can confirm that he can use Fly, yeah.

Got one on my fifth. Do you know when to use it on Doublade so I don't miss out on some good moves? Is there a move list maybe?

I really like Chesnaught, His move pool seems way more interesting than the other two starters. Had a blast using him in story mode. Does the tank idea very well.
Metagame though =/ his typing, meh.

Bibarel is the true king of field moves (cut, strength, surf, Dive, Waterfall, rock smash, flash) and is available as early as route 3. I hear Pangoro is also a pretty good HM slave with good attack. Helioptile and its evolution can also run surf, cut and strength.
Using both Charazard and Blaziken as HM Slaves seems like a waste of a good pokemon. My Blaziken is going to be my sweeper since I EV maxed it and I picked Bulbasaur instead of Charmander.
Tropius, my bad on the spelling. I don't think he's available in X/Y. Which sucks.
So I still need to find a flying pokemon? Damn. Thanks though.

I evolved mine on level 42, but don't worry about moves. You can get Heart Scales quite easily in this game to use in the Move Relearner. By the way, the first thing you will want to do after evolving Doublade is going there to teach it King's Shield and Sacred Sword.

Ah, yeah, he was a decent guy. Guess we'll have to wait on the Ruby/Sapphire remakes for that
dear god please
You can. I have a shiny Sigilyph and you can see both. You have to use the touch screen to change it.

Where's the move deleter in this game? I was stupid and taught cut to my Beedrill and it really fucked up my plans for his moveset.

Pokemon Bank is out before that.
I still have hope for a R/S remake. With all the hints to it in this game, we'll hopefully get it next year.

TMs are expensive or what? Sanstorm and Hail for 50k each...then again I do have nearly 100k (amulet coin and prize money buff make it easy to rack the cash in).
Snorlax : 25
Eevee : 45
In equal circumstances (same % health left) Eevee is more likely (higher=easier**) so you can pin that one down to bad luck (but equip yourself with the tools of maths and you'll get less upset at failure). But really both those numbers are low and have some element of luck when you're using great balls or worse. Also sleep is slightly better than paralysis for improving catch chances (or at least it was in previous gens), it is a 2.5x multiplier (if using gen V rules, otherwise 2x) vs a 1.5x one.
*-If you want the full grit then go here (the simplified probability and equation a are something to bear in mind if you' are mathematically minded). If you compare with the catch rate table rarer things like Bagon and Mawile have the catch rate of 45 too.
I do not know but a level 19 Eevee has baby doll eyes (fairy move). If you find a female Eevee you could also breed to get lower level Eevee.
I'm sure I had several hundred when I first reached that point of the game. I'll check tonight but if that is the case then I guess they are based of real life steps
They are deceptively hard, but easier than Snorlax. Let's look the catch rate table (I assume the values are unchanged since gen 5, who knows maybe Snorlax is easier due to story):
