Ugh, I hate how long GTS trade's take. Some of us are in a rush to try to pick up a Pokemon before someone else.

I finally found somebody with a reasonable trade for a Spiritomb, they wanted a Vulpix. The person who wanted a Vulpix wanted a Charmander and the person who wanted a Charmander wanted a Chespin. I got the Charmander, and by the time I got back to the Vulpix it was already gone

I was so close to getting that Spiritomb.

EDIT: Yes!! I finally got a Spiritomb! I found someone who wanted a Garchomp, and the Garchomp person wanted an Ampharos. I got the Garchomp and then got the Spiritomb. To make sure none of you have to go through that mess, I'll be breeding some Spiritomb if anyone wants to trade for one.

 

[chickdigger802]

disappointing that starters don't have megas. Really does sideline the new starters in favor of oldies... especially when the whole game is about megas megas megas.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Best moveset for Tyrantrum, anyone?


Mine is maxed out affection-wise, and knows;

Head Smash(but that recoil is awful)
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Crunch

Because of the recoil, Rock Slide is a better move to have. Also, does Tyrantrum learn Dragon Dance? If it does, that's also a great option to fit in(probably instead of Crunch).

 

[ramyeon]

So I'm new to this IV stuff but... I caught a female Togepi that says "Mischievous" and considering they're supposed to have 31 IVs in the Friend Safari, would it be safe to assume that this is good? Unfortunately her nature is Lax, if I were to breed it is there anyway to guarantee transfer of IVs?

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

You can catch Haunter on route 14 ;D

I'm aware of that. I'm choosing not to because I want to focus on Pokemon I haven't really played with before.

On an unrelated note, what's a good level to evolve Floette at?

 

[Bullza2o]

For all those just joining us (good morning), we've set up a spreadsheet for the NeoGAF Friend Safari information.

Check it out here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoqoJJMkPJSMdEpBRW40OE1TRG42ZUtuZm1idTc0Rnc&usp=sharing#gid=0

Let's hide this so nonmembers won't be able to tamper it.
I don't know what this is, so this must be something I'll come across later on in the story. I haven't beaten the 2nd gym yet...

Where do we get the Rock Slide TM and Dragon Dance TM?

I had Tyrantrum with Rock Tomb until it learned Head Smash, but Rock Slide would be better between them all.

 

[Mother Green]

Could someone trade me a Skrelp? Would love to have one and they are exclusive to Y.

 

[Sadist]

Agreed. Missed out on the last second with those kind of trades.

Btw, does anyone know about a Pokémon (or attack) that hits two enemies at once? I'm using Sweet Scent to lure hordes, but the Zangoose are being total dicks towards Seviper. They kill it every time

Oh well, did get lucky apparantly and encountered a horde of Tailow! So except for Pidove every early bird type is represented in X and Y.

 

[Tunavi]

Help

Axew or tyrunt?

 

[Tan]

Ughhhh finally found a Heracross and it's modest

Serebii says

Spoiler

Rock Slide is in Couriway Town and there is no Dragon Dance TM.

 

[Kouriozan]

Alright, my 30 Dragonairs have been traded.

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Where do we get the Rock Slide TM and Dragon Dance TM?

I had Tyrantrum with Rock Tomb until it learned Head Smash, but Rock Slide would be better between them all.

He learns Rock Slide at a very high level(68?), I haven't found the TM myself yet. Dragon Dance sadly isn't a TM, so it has to have it by level up(don't think it does).

I just now realised that my Salamence will have to go by without DD, what a bummer.

 

[nubbe]

Timeline on Pokemon-GL is pretty neat

GO #TEAMFIRE

+ Picahu + HM/False Swipe Slave

 

[chickdigger802]

lol 3rd gym. duoblades completely destroyed that one.

wish it wasn't so darn slow though.



greninja folks, water shuriken or surf?

 

[Fireblend]

Works beautifully on my iPhone 4S

Aw man guess my Nexus 4 is reporting a big screen size or something and they're not doing the browser agent detection right. Damn, it does look sexy on the pictures.

Also, does anyone know at what level my Talonflame will learn a decent fire move? Right now it knows:

Ember
Quick Attack
Aerial Ace (Replaced Peck with a TM)
Agility

 

[Bullza2o]

Question about PGL:

If I link my sister's Pokemon X (I have Pokemon Y), will her info/stats in any way affect mine, or are both games separate? She doesn't have a Pokemon.com account.

 

[ramyeon]

Being slow is a very good thing once it becomes Aegislash.

 

[SmokeMaxX]

I got traded a Froakie. Still new to the game so don't know how to check its stats and whatnot since it's in my Box right now. If anyone wants to trade a Fennekin for it, please PM me

Figures I'd spend like 30 minutes deciding between Froakie and Fennekin only to pick it AND get traded it <_<

EDIT: Female Timid Level 1 Froakie; has some Japanese name.

 

[Mother Green]

SpAtk should be higher than Atk. Go with the flow. I mean Surf. Water Shuriken is a physical attack.

Cool, my Tyrantrum is Lv64, few more level ups until rock slide, then!




And what is the consensus on fairy types? Who is the best overall?

I need a decent one for online battling, as everyone seems to be using Mega Garchomp and Gengar. 5 out of 8 battles I did had the opponent with them.

I was thinking Klefki, or spending the time raising a Flabebe.

 

[Cloud Strife]

About to hit the 8th gym and I can safely say this is the greatest Pokemon game I have ever played.

Story isn't overly complex, environments are amazing, Pokemon designs are fantastic in 3D, EVERYTHING IS AMAZING.

 

[MicH]

Aww that sucks ;/
My Talonflame is level 75 and the best fire move it has is still Flame Charge from the TM. So damn useless in that regard

 

[Foshy]

Axew or tyrunt?

Why not both?

Because last page;

Plus, where can I find the Super Rod?

 

[Korosenai]

Goomy using Dragon Breath is the cutest thing ever.

I got Gardevoir, really high special attack so it will obliterate every Dragon it switches into. Fairies get ripped apart by Gengar though, because of it's Poison type they just hit it for NVE.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Been trying to get a shiny Pumpkaboo for far too long now.

 

[Strider]

Just caught a couple of Clauncher.. anyone with a skrelp up for a trade?

 

[Ibuki]

Been trying to get a shiny Pumpkaboo for far too long now.

I am in the same boat with Chespin. I am on Box 6 at the moment, one is full of females.

 

[spiritfox]

Aww that sucks ;/

Go to the Move Relearner and teach it Flare Blitz and Brave Bird.

 

[Fireblend]

Aww that sucks ;/

I figured it out! Turns out the URL for the mobile site is 3ds-sp.pokemon-gl.com instead of just 3ds.pokemon-gl.com. Kinda shitty that it does no automatic recognition, but I guess it's better than what I feared. Indeed the mobile site is pretty

And that sucks about Talonflame. I was thinking about replacing it with Growlithe and I think this settles that. I've been leveling it along with my team and it's a fire beast moves-wise:

Flame Wheel
Fire Fang
Take Down
Bite

 

[SomedayTheFire]

I am in the same boat with Chespin. I am on Box 6 at the moment, one is full of females.

I had two boxes full of Fennekins before giving up. I don't think I'll give up on Pumpkaboo though haha

 

[Hobobloke]

I don't even have the game yet but love Tyrantrum already.

Where do we get the Rock Slide TM and Dragon Dance TM?

I had Tyrantrum with Rock Tomb until it learned Head Smash, but Rock Slide would be better between them all.

Nah man it's all about that Head Smash I think, you want him to tear a hole in things while he can wouldn't worry about his longevity personally.

For sets I imagine you could just slap a scarf/band on him or do a boosting set with Life Orb depending on his stat raising movepool.

 

[MicH]

Go to the Move Relearner and teach it Flare Blitz and Brave Bird.

My god, this changes everything! Thanks, I somehow never checked even though I went to have my Delphox learn Shadow Ball!

 

[chickdigger802]

I know duoblade evolves with a

dusk stone

. Is it one of those pokemon that can't learn anymore moves after evolution or should i evolve it whenever i have access to one?

 

[Ibuki]

I started with 1 box of Charmander and then moved on. I have pretty much vowed not to progress in the story or leave this daycare area until I get one. I am still right before the second gym.

Don't evolve it till 51 at least, there's a move you'll want then. You'll need to get it to relearn a move too after you evolve it though.

 

[Shengar]

Where can I get old and good rod?

As long as you make sure to go to a move relearner, yeah, don't worry about the levels.

 

[ramyeon]

Wow, 3 female Togepi in a row after nothing but mostly males. Now if only some of these would have useful natures.

 

[Hobobloke]

He learns Rock Slide at a very high level(68?), I haven't found the TM myself yet. Dragon Dance sadly isn't a TM, so it has to have it by level up(don't think it does).

I just now realised that my Salamence will have to go by without DD, what a bummer.

Just searched and smogon says Tyrantrum can get DD through breeding with Zard, he also gets Rock Polish too it seems; such tough choices.

 

[Niraj]

Goomy using Dragon Breath is the cutest thing ever.

Sliggoo using dragon pulse is no slouch in that department either.

 

[ramyeon]

Does anyone know if this is worthwhile? Togepi: Calm Nature, Somewhat Vain. This may be my keeper.

 

[Tunavi]

Why not both?

Dragon redundancy and I'm not usig exp share

 

[ShmeebAlina]

LOL Antiwhippy, I wasn't prepared for that match raising three weaklings in my team, yet I still feel super cheap winning with Xerneas .

Btw has anyone else been getting random trade requests from passersby? Battle requests I can understand, but if a trade comes out of nowhere I have no idea what they want and end up ignoring them.

 

[Niraj]

Means it could have a 31 IV in special defense, so possibly.

 

[Beast Legacy]

The revamped site is pretty cool. Last time I'll have that many starters on my playthrough team though, I usually never put any starters on any of my actual battling teams (except Feraligatr).

 

[ramyeon]

Yeah, aren't things caught in the Safari supposed to have 31 in IVs or something? Although I'm still not entirely clear on what IVs are and the wiki articles on it are even more confusing haha. It's nature is +SpD too.
