Is it not possible to have sliggoo use raindance when it levels up to 50? That's what I was going to try, but if it isn't possible then I won't bother...

Nope.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Man, breeding goes at a waaaaaaay faster pace than I ever imagined it would. I'm getting Tyrunt eggs pooped out like crazy. Three eggs have already hatched, too.

Yeah, soon you'll have more than you know what to do with!

 

[Acid08]

Couple questions:

What city are the evolutionary stones sold in?

and

Where are Nidorans at?

 

[Anura]

Can someone on my list tell me what is in my Friend Safari?

Friend me and I will. Can you do the same for me?

 

[Deleted member 13876]

My friend safari has Ivysaur and Tangela if anyone wants either, dunno what the third is.

My friend code is 3480 2998 8084. PM me if you add me and I'll add you back.

Quoting this so I remember to add you tomorrow. Does anyone who is friends with me know who mine are?

 

[ColossalLazy]

Couple questions:

Where are Nidorans at?

Route 11. They come in hordes.

 

[Korosenai]

You can learn sacred sword from move relearner regardless if you learned it before or not. Just level your duoblade as soon as you can.

Is this confirmed?

 

[Aggrotek]

Friend me and I will. Can you do the same for me?

Yea lemme finish this trade. PM with your FC.

 

[Drago]

Edit: nm

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Where are Nidorans at?

Route 11. They're horde battles.

Nidorinos or Nidorinas appear too.

 

[pariah164]

Finally got Petilil in Friend Safari! I also have a Sun Stone. Do I evolve her now, at level 30, or wait?

Moves are Magical Leaf, Stun Spore, Giga Drain, and Aromatherapy.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

What's a good moveset for Gallade? I'll give it False Swipe. Is Hypnosis recommended?

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

So in the Friend Safarai, you can only find up to 3 pokemon in each lot?

Nice, thanks!

 

[Deleted member 13876]

Can't remember off the top of my head, but you don't spawn starters at least. I think it's ghost, bug, fighting or ice...Can't check now.

 

[pariah164]

So in the Friend Safarai, you can only find up to 3 pokemon in each lot?

Yep. And only after that person beats the E4. Until then, they only have 2.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Is this confirmed?

Yeah I did it.

In fact I believe that move relearner just teaches you any move that the pokemon will learn throughout its 100 levels. Gardevoir learns moonblast at 89 or something but I taught her that early on with the move relearner.

 

[Moonlight]

Yeah, soon you'll have more than you know what to do with!

I think I already do, lol.

 

[Niraj]

What's a good moveset for Gallade? I'll give it False Swipe. Is Hypnosis recommended?

I'd probably do something like Swords Dance/Psycho Cut/Close Combat/Night Slash, but there's a lot it can do effectively.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Yep. And only after that person beats the E4. Until then, they only have 2.

Awesome thanks!
I'm curious as to what my type is o:

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Finally got Petilil in Friend Safari! I also have a Sun Stone. Do I evolve her now, at level 30, or wait?

Moves are Magical Leaf, Stun Spore, Giga Drain, and Aromatherapy.

Does she have Own Tempo? If so, definitely wait until she learns Petal Dance.

Actually, an ideal moveset for her is Sleep Powder, Quiver Dance, Petal Dance and Giga Drain. It provides no coverage, but is incredibly sustainable and allows for some great setups.

 

[Korosenai]

Yeah I did it.

Sweet. Gonna go ahead and evolve my Doublade then, I actually just got it too. What town do you meet the move relearner/tutor/whatever?

 

[Regiruler]

In what universe is

Spoiler

Oblivion Wing

a

Spoiler

Flying-type move? It's a fucking darkness laser, you don't need air for that.

I got a holo clip from the prof to meet him somewhere but I forgot the town. It's after you

Spoiler

beat mega-Lysandre

. Does anyone know where I go?

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

What part of Victory Road is Psyshock in?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Sweet. Gonna go ahead and evolve my Doublade then, I actually just got it too. What town do you meet the move relearner/tutor/whatever?

After the... 6th gym I think?

Dendemille town.

 

[Korosenai]

After the... 6th gym I think?

Dendemille town.

I still have quite a while to go then.

 

[pariah164]

Actually, an ideal moveset for her is Sleep Powder, Quiver Dance, Petal Dance and Giga Drain. It provides no coverage, but is incredibly sustainable and allows for some great setups.

Own Tempo? Is that an ability? No, she has Chlorophyll. So I should wait for Petal Dance then?

 

[unknownstranger]

Just spent the last hour looking for mega stones, ended up finding 4. Two of them I didn't know those pokemon could mega evolve.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Just ran into a Wild Hydreigon. O_O

 

[Markun]

The Azure Bay camera spot is pretty cool. Phil even gives you a temporary Lapras to surf on just for the picture

 

[Niraj]

I hope Sandslash gets an evo/mega evo someday. I always liked it.

 

[Gsnap]

Nope has to be natural rain

I figured they wouldn't let it be that easy... Oh well. Let the hunt begin.

 

[Teknoman]

Whats a good Chesnaught EV spread? Attack and Defense or Attack and HP?

 

[Antiwhippy]

I'm 40 hours in and still haven't beaten the 8th gym yet.

I need to stop fighting random passerbys.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Own Tempo? Is that an ability? No, she has Chlorophyll. So I should wait for Petal Dance then?

Yeah, Own Tempo is her other ability, and it prevents confusion.

You're probably better off just taking Solar Beam if you have Chlorophyll. That way, you;ll be able to dish out one-turn Solar Beams while your speed is doubled in the sun

 

[jasonng]

Jesus, Shalour City's music came out of nowhere. I wasn't expecting phenomenal music from my pokemon game.

Here's a link for those who need a friendly reminder.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Music post time.

Also: Elite Four and Champion theme are pretty bad :/

Disagree: the Champion theme's superior to Iris' in terms of calculated contrast and compositional complexity. Really, it hits that sweet spot for me.

nah, I feel like gen 6's soundtrack is free of most of the unnecessary audio 'flourishes' that just served to make the gen v sountrack sound cluttered. Plus Gen 6 conveys a lot more charm and a spirit of adventure

Those flourishes are musically interesting and fill the speakers very effectively, a technique Ichinose's adopted in order to provide a richer sound to Pokémon battles. I definitely enjoy the technical complexity more than most others, though.

Don't forget PokeBall Factory, my favorite.

It's climbing my favorites list too, just so well balanced and catchy.

Just skimmed through most of those and it only solidified my opinion. Ghetsis' theme, the ending song, and Unwavering Emotions are the only great songs. The rest has this hideous synth sound to everything. It's a similar reason as to why Gen 3's soundtrack sucked, just instead of trumpets it's shitty synth and bad teeming (doesn't fit with the theme of going on an adventure, feels incredibly out of place). I'd imagine it'd sound much better with different samples or recorded with legitimate instruments, but what was included in the cartridge was mediocre or worse.

Calling it Gen V the "undisputed king of music" is incredibly hyperbolic. Music in the first place is subjective, and I've seen tons of criticism towards the soundtrack.

Except the Gen 3 trumpet and percussion samples have a punch to them the modern samples might never have, giving them an exaggerated quality that's unique and sounds great as a result. How are trumpets and french horns not appropriate for marching through fields teeming with big critters and trainers?

My prediction is that the R/S/E remakes are going to massively benefit from Ichinose's sound direction. Newer samples and effective usage of them are gonna rock. Gen 3's already-amazing, stylistically-flowing soundtrack could use a reboot.

 

[Teknoman]

Im gonna make Cyllage City my ring tone.

 

[Mr. Fix]

I'm done. This game is trash.

 

[MisterAnderson]

Is Litleo/Pyroar a Special Attacker?

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Is Litleo/Pyroar a Special Attacker?

Yes. I'm sorry to the person I traded the Jolly one.

 

[Teknoman]

Yeah, soon you'll have more than you know what to do with!

Unite up! Wooooonderrrr Trade!

 

[Boss Doggie]

At the very least, just look at the avatar

Anyway I never understood why people said the music in XY is subpar. If anything it's the best save for Trainer and Rival battles.

 

[ryan-ts]

Just ran into a Wild Hydreigon. O_O

Whoa.

Anyone want a Breloom?

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Where can I get a Honedge?

 

[jrDev]

What's the point of herbs? To make your Pokemon hate you?

Anyone?

 

[C.Olimar788]

At the very least, just look at the avatar

Anyway I never understood why people said the music in XY is subpar. If anything it's the best save for Trainer and Rival battles.

It's definitely a solid soundtrack, but it doesn't hold a candle to Gen V. Then again, Gen V was absolutely spectacular, so anything after that is going to look bad in comparison.

I can't wait for the inevitable Hoenn remakes to have the Gen III soundtrack without it being held back by the GBA's awful soundchip. THAT will be a godly soundtrack.

 

[Mr. Fix]

Where can I get a Honedge?

Route 6.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Anyone?

They're cheaper than regular items.

 

[Aggrotek]

Yay! Dusclops!!! Thanks Anura!
