So one of my friend Safari has a Galvantula.
Maybe a Galvantula Sticky web lead with Voltturn combo with Protean Ninja carrying Shadow Sneak for the spin block. Would give me a good thunder waver and good sync with one of my more troll members.
Or maybe a combined with Taunt lead Ninja in replacement for sneak and U-turn Galvantula in. Hmm choices choices.
I love gen 6 meta. GF really hit it out of the ballpark

I emailed Prima yesterday asking about this, since that usually is what happens. And understandably so; the last complete guide, with walkthrough and 'dex, came out with Pokemon Platinum, and it was the size of a phonebook.

Last night I caught a shiny Spritzee. At first I didn't realize it was shiny. Then I remembered what a ring of stars resembles! Did the shiny rate increase or something? Or am I just very lucky?

It seems to have for sure, though it's hard to tell by how much.
So, I have two Flabebe's, and they're both the same gender but I think one might be a shiny? I dunno. Their natures are different. One is Rash, and one is Bashful. One has white petals and the other has yellow petals. The yellow petal one is Rash. Which one should I put up for wonder trade? How can you even tell what a shiny Pokemon looks like? Urghghgh.

I had 8000 Pokemiles yesterday. I synced with global link this morning. Nothing on the website. I now have 1433 in-game.
Have I lost all the others? Oddly enough I just did a sync and it did not take the miles...afterwards I set it to not send.
I take it PM in the holo caster is Poke Miles? 4 passes and 4PM...I get more than that from one trade typically...

I thought of GTS trading chain along the line of "one red pen" but it is so player dependent and what would the end point be. Also current market is Feebas (or Milotic) can get you anything, pretty much.
If it's a shiny Pokemon, it'll have a star on its summary page. Flabebe comes in a lot of different forms for the color of its flower, though - chances are neither of them are shiny.
Global Link can take some time to update info from your latest sync. Give it a day at most.

There's a little red star on it's status screen if it's shiny. Look next to the markings in the bottom left of the touch screen.

It looks like Flabebe's color changes depending on what color flowers you are running around in. Shiny Pokemon have a ring of stars appear around it any time it appears in the wild, or is released from a Pokeball, and they also have a red star present on their summary page. So unless it has the ring appear or the red star, it's not shiny.
For an example of the sparkle, look at the end of this video.
Edit: beaten

There is a list here of Pokemon not in Kalos dex. It is a good starting point. A few in that list is obtainable in friend safari though (e.g. Ninetales and hence Vulpix). From this find a list of what is obtainable in BW+BW2 and search the names.
Well, Chespin's best stat is Defense, so he's going to be more of a tanky Poke. You may want to go for the nature that benefits Defense and then EV train Defense, Attack, and HP (in that order of importance).
Nice one, only will have access to B/B2 and X. Hopefully I can catch a big variety.
But, I'm 50 hours in and no shiny so far.
I should have better chance to find one after 4 gens without shinies
It'd be cool if Dragonite got a mega someday that used the same coloring and brought the horn back. Dragon/Fairy?
Beat everything in the lower levels.
That's it? Thanks.
Don't understand this thing at all lols. What with the minigame and all.
Now to see if it's more tedious doing EV training the normal way or this.

If the Amazon reviews are to be believed, Prima has no plans on releasing a second guide for this game.
:/
Maybe they were told not bother with a Pokedex from Nintendo because there's a bunch of secret Pokemon /lmao
I've played every main Pokemon game starting with Blue and for the most part have enjoyed each entry. RBY/GSC are god tier for me. Diamond/Pearl and Black2/White2 I couldn't stand though as they moved slow and I found incredibly boring. Ruby and Saphire I thought was decent but not great. First gen is one of my favorite games ever made (tied with Sonic 3, Links Awakening, and OOT), and I still find myself replaying it from time to time. Once they got into having so many creatures and new stats/mechanics for the creatures it became more complicated for me and turned me off a bit. How do you guys feel about this game?
I feel Red/Blue definitely had a lot of mystery and mythology that was subtly part of the game, it was not forced to you by cutscenes, but by player exploration (Pokemon Mansion, 3 Birds, Cerrulean Cave). Gold and Silver also had some mystery to it to. The other games the Legendaries haven't felt that special to me. Does this game have that any of the same sort of mysterious/exploratory atmosphere to it that the original Gameboy titles had? Are there a lot of cutscenes or is there more freedom?
Also, does it have the trainers that battle you every single time you reenter an area like B2/W2? Those guys really bothered me and slowed the pacing of the game.
I have this pre-ordered at Target and will get a 5 dollar gift card if I pick it up by Saturday. I'm trying to save money for XB1 stuff.

This sounds great. I'd like to do a Nuzlocke run someday, and your rule is an interesting addition.

Wow, I never considered Wonder Trading. Wonder Trading blows Nuzlocke wide open! :O
How can you chase it? Mine is
leaving to another route as soon as I land on the current one. Stupid Articuno. :/
You know it's awesome.

Wonderlocke:
Catch the first pokemon each new route/area.
You HAVE to immediately wonder trade that pokemon and what you get is your new catch.
If it faints its dead.
BREEDING QUESTION:
So I have a Ditto with the nature I want, and I'll give him an Everstone to pass it on. As for the other Pokémon, Shellder, is it possible for the baby's Ability to turn out different? I want one with Skill Link but the parent Shellder has as different Ability.
It's possible I can hatch Shellder from him that has Skill Link instead, right?

Is there a mention of
what the tipping system actually does for your gameplay?
Spoiler because.. not sure how much still constitutes as spoiler, but better safe than sorry eeeeh.

I feel like it's cos if you surfed to a cave, levelled up, forgot Surf, and was perpetually stuck in the cave.
Yeah but you can reteach it... they don't go away I thought.
What if you level up in the middle of the water, and you replace Surf?
