Is there a place where you can grind trainers like you could in the stadiums in black/white?
You probably just massively overpowered it, like I did. Somehow I managed to get through the entire game, made a balanced team, and nothing got access to a poison move.
Don't use filters, fixed it for me.

Wat.
Wat.
I'm opting for Shell Smash/Icicle Spear (Skill Link)/Poison Jab/Razor Shell or Hydro Pump.
I'm conflicted between Razor Shell and Hydro Pump on my Jolly Cloyster (+Speed, -Sp. Attk).
Hydro Pump is a Special attack, and my Cloyster is decreased Sp. Attk. Hydro Pump is also less accurate than Razor Shell. However, it's 35 BP stronger (110 - 75).
Razor Shell, on the other hand, is Physical, playing off my Attack EVs and neutral nature for Attack. It's 95% accurate and has a 50% chance of lowering the target's defense. With STAB and Shell Smash, it should still be strong.
The question is, would Shell Smash Hydro Pump on a Jolly Cloyster with no Sp. Attk EVs be better than Shell Smash Razor Shell on a Jolly Cloyster with Attk EVs.

Is Jellicent really unavailable until pokebank 
?
?Considering you're going for a physical build you should go with Razor Shell. The EVs and Shell Smash should more than make up for the loss in base power.
The same happens for me when I search only for Pokemons I have and trade with. Try trading again without any search filters this time.
That's what I figured. Thanks!!
Hydro Pump would break through physical walls. It would give you more option even though it is doing less damage. So really both moves have their pros and cons.
Just started it this game is crazy it's all 3D and there's a hair color thing and you can move diangonally and IT'S YOU CAN MOVE DIAGONALLY AND OH GOD HE'S IN PAJAMAS how can someone sit on a chair in such a cute way this is illegal I need a break you guys
I need some time to process this
edit: the wiimote is white but the wii u is black
I got White first and then Black 2
It's like it's speaking directly to my heart

Hmm, you might have a point about Hydro Pump. Would Hydro Pump, with STAB and Shell Smash boost, still be useful, even though I have no Sp. Attk EV investment, and even though a Jolly nature decreases Sp. Attk growth?
Hahaha, these impressions are adorable XD
So I'm about to go breed an Eevee I just caught (so I can evolve it into Sylveon at it's most earliest point after it learns it's first fairy move) and I think I'm going to 'attempt' to get a good nature (and EV train it via Super training). Will be my first Pokemon where I have tried to get everything perfect with.
So 2 questions:
1. Is a Modest nature (which according to Bulbapedia raises SP atk and lowers atk) good for my eventual Sylveon?
2. What stats should I EV train in Super Training? (going to do this straight away so I don't need to worry about resetting previously gotten EVs)

My Yvonne hold a Pikachu 3DS XL when she awake. Yours hardly illegal.
only easier because some of hte EV points have already been assigned, they get easier as you earn more super training points
I hear reset bags are random enough that you'll either find one quickly or take a while to find one.
(I've not tried Super Training yet btw so I don't even know what's involved yet)
Yep. Start off with an easy course for a bit to get some EVs in, after that you'll be able to move up to the harder ones.
They just sort of show up every now and again on the main screen while you're running around so keep it open. I've got two already, I used one on a Blaziken.
My Charizard gets ~120, my Pumpkaboo gets ~40. Both max EV'd now. Unless there's more differences.

That is a Mystery Gift. To get that, go to the beginning screen and select "Mystery Gift" them get it via the Internet. After that, you can just pick it up at any Pokemon Center.
Man safaris -have- to have higher odds of shinies.
I got bored of money grinding and decided to pop in my Lampent+Phantump safari for a chance at a shiny of either of them. Within 3 minutes ran into a shiny Dusklops.
Kinda sour it was the one Pokemon I didn't want but hey; second shiny!

My first two Battle Spot matches went well. The first one wasn't anything to write home about, I think it was just some kid from Texas.
The second battle was against someone from Japan though, and that was a good one! He actually forfeited the match though once his last Pokemon came out. /:
Didn't think I'd get back into competitive, but I think I might.

Just had an Aegislash mirror match online. Some of the most fun I've had playing mind games. It all became about predicting when the other player would King's Shield, when they would Shadow Sneak and when they'd boost. Ultimately, I lost that fight by a narrow margin. We were both red and his Aegislash was faster on a shadow sneak than me.
Of course, my Blsziken then came out and wiped the floor with the last of Aegis' health and his Alakazam, but damn if that Aegislash match wasn't super nerve wracking.

You know, I've said this before, but I really anticipate the competitive scene (though I don't compete). Like, the amount of things this gen added to keep track of... like when your opponent will Mega Evolve, so as to take advantage of an ability -
Sand Stream, for example. Everything seems like it'll be interesting.
Oh, while I'm at it - so, this pill at the
that allows Pokemon with two abilities to switch between them... is it new?

thanks!
Haha, oh my god that was good.
Came back from work at 1AM, start the game, do a couple of fight and progress to the next city (only have 2 badges so far, I need to give it all this week-end!). End up in a Pokecenter to heal everyone up and then I thought the game freezed up because it was stuck in a kind of semi-black screen, as if it freezed up while entering it.
Then boom, confetti and stuff going everywhere and everyone tells me happy birthday.
My face when that happened. I thought it was funny that the first thing saying this to me was this game, even before all the facebook happy wishes!

So I have a bit of a preliminary team for random wi-fi battles right now and I have to say, Togekiss is a bit of a monster this generation.
For instance, earlier someone used a Mega Gengar as a lead against my Togekiss lead. They used Thunderbolt and to their horror Togekiss did not faint, it only gave a : ) back and then used Thunder Wave. Sure, next turn it couldn't finish Gengar with an Air Slash or get it to flinch, but after that moment I'm sure that person learned that just because they turned an already powerful Pokemon into something with legendary-level stats they'll never be safe from Togekiss: Destroyer of Hope.

Pretty sure the ability thing is new, though pretty sure it doesn't work on Hidden Abilities, so it's uses are limited.
Yeah, working around your opponents megas is super fun. I love when my opponent has multiple mega-capable pokemon and I have to predict what they're going to do. The most often thing I've seen is Mega Gengar, though. He's not a threat to my team, so he's kind of boring. He comes in and deploys Shadow Tag, but it's useless because I blow him away 1-2 turns later. He seems like he could be amazing in some situations, but he's also pretty worthless when dropped in something disadvantages.
Quick question, is there any online mode that lets you do full 6 v 6 matches? The draft stuff for ranked is fun. It adds a layer of strategy and makes matches quicker, but I love the dynamic of full team on team stuff.

So amazing. If I wasn't farming Honedge right now, I'd most likely be going for a Charmander.
