In regards to the speed: might actually be better to go lower on slow things, in case someone tries to pull trick room on you. I'd guess it's pretty much that or try to speed tie other Aegislashes. Actually, since steel doesn't resist ghost any more, that would probably help most. Even with priority, you'd still run into that speed tie.

With the general strategy for that guy: How do you get the King's Shield off though? Does it have priority? If not, I think you're better off just doing what you can with Shadow Sneaks. Unless you know you can resist or something. I need to look in to how that guy works more.

King's Shield has priority.

Yup KS has priority. You can play mind games with it if your opponent thinks your're going to use it. Pull of a swords dance instead. Also weakness policy might be interesting for him too.

Leftovers. He can usually OHKO with Swords Dance anyway in my experience. And if he can't then you can just use King's Shield and try again, the HP regain is much more useful imo.

Yeah, I figured out as much.

Also, the IV judge says that my clawitzer has superior stats, but only sp. attk can't be beat. Does that mean that the other stats are high but only sp. attk are 31?

Still though, cool to see that my clawitzer is a relative beast.

I feel like a jerk right now. I did a wonder trade and offered my level 6 Scatterbug. I got a level 45 Graveller (now Golem) in return.

I never expecting anything except a new trainer ID from Wonder Trade. Hopefully others feel similar.
Gravellers are kind of troll trades though, because you can not skip the evolution (I heard earlier someone tried pressing B and it kept on going).

Also that scatterbug might evolve into a pattern they lack.

What's with all these Shinies?!

I wonder if they changed the encounter rate for them.

Or it is cause so much people are playing game and thus probability working the way it does.

Anyone got some tips on hard to find/get pokemon I can trade my Dittos for on the GTS? I guess the legendaries are out of the question, but there got to be more 'exotic' stuff that people would easily part with?

If I'm slower against any other Aegislash, I would be taking the hit when it means I am in the defensive stance meaning it won't hurt as much as if I were to attack first and then let it attack me.

King's Shield is gotten through the Move Relearner. It is a priority move, but not sure by how much. It changes the stance from attack to defense and acts like Protect and blocks the attack.

Thanks for the heads up, that's helpful to know. What if you fight mostly wild battles, then get the last few in Super Training? I'd suspect that to also cap at 252.

Oh, ok. Thanks.

Without King's Shield Aegislash would hardly be viable haha. It's pretty much a glass cannon in Blade Forme. Can very very easily be knocked out in one hit. That's why it's so important to have him very slow, that way he never changes into Blade Forme until after the opponent pull off their move, then you can quickly switch back to Shield Forme before their next turn.

Shadow Sneak should never be used with Aegislash unless you're sure it can knock out the opponent imo.

I know that feel. I traded a lvl 5 Bunnelby and got a female Protean Froakie from some guy. I added him to my friend list so I could apologize. Should probably trade him some of my rare items as compensation.

Stop it, you're making me want to start breeding Honedges. :) But really, thanks for the info. I really shouldn't have overlooked King's Shield so thoughtlessly.

What does this mean exactly. If you were EV training by killing wild pokemon, you can cap out at 255 in a stat instead of 252?
Click to expand...
Right. Those extra three are useless, because you need 4 to get a point. So if you go to 255 in two stats, you're missing out on one point in some other stat.

Your friends need to beat their own Elite Four to unlock the third Pokemon in their individual safaris. Unless, that's not what you were asking about.

Is there guide for Super Training out there? Like how to do it the correct way?

I feel like it's the most easiest thing in the world yet for some reason I'm not grasping it.

I'll hand you one.
I'll take anything, though if you're planning on breeding starters later on I'd gladly take a Bulbasaur or a Charmander later on :)

So I know I can't catch Xerneas, but I did catch
Zygarde
and I ran into
Moltres
once.

I got the three orbs in the cave where Zygarde was, so... where are those guys?
Is that something I have to wait for Pokemon Bank to launch for?

So wait, for digital downloads, the save file is tied to the SD card, not the system, right? If so, is it possible to transfer my current save file onto my computer, and then start a new game without deleting my old data? Just for the purpose of doing nuzlocke and other stuff in the campaign. I feel like waiting for Pokemon Bank is a better idea

Couple questions from a lurker:
Why is a foreign Ditto more valuable than a native one? Is there a good non-breeding use, or are they better breeding stock?

What's the total count of "catchable" Pokémon in X/Y without other carts? I have a horde of pokémon from every other gen and while it'd be nice to migrate them all over, I'd rather just bring the ones missing from this gen over to save time messing around with carts and DS's.

Breeding stock, really. Foreign Dittos are used for the Masuda Method. When you breed a native pokemon with a foreign Ditto, the shiny rate increases to 1/1300, rather than 1/8000 when it comes to random encounters.

Foreign Dittos are used in a process called the Masuda Method, which makes it somewhat easier to breed shiny pokemon.

The Kalos Dex has 450 pokemon in it IIRC

From last night. Not too great of a team, but perfectly fine for in-game (like just about everything is lol)
