I assume so, my Sligoo is level 33 so I'm miles away.

Power leveling in the post game is really annoying, Gen V spoiled me with its Audinos. :sigh:

Discussion > Games > Pokemon Megathread 6.0: Stop Wondertrading Metapods

I really like the idea of Wonder Trading but I think they need to change it to take the level or rarity of the Pokemon into account. 90% of the time you get a Pokemon from one of the first couple of routes, and if you actually get something good you feel terrible because you probably traded a Scatterbug for it

I've been using it as a fun sort of roulette to unload all these male starters I'm breeding trying for a female of each gen1/6. I rarely get anything worth writing home about, but I'm sure it makes somebody's day :3

Figured out the snooty store, for people like me still struggling with it: It doesn't seem to have much of anything to do with what you're wearing. What does seem to matter is activities in the city. Notably, I was denied entry, went and did the one-star restaurant battles perfectly (star next to the meal), still couldn't get in, then went and worked all three jobs at the hotel and after doing them was allowed inside.

Basically when she says "go do stuff" she pretty much means that, just do whatever random services are available in town until it works. Fight the restaurants, get a haircut, make a PR video, get a dog groomed, probably some or all of it applies and once you've done a certain amount it will unlock the boutique.

The trenchcoat is pretty slick. I'm not sure if the colors on the suits and whatnot change on a daily basis like it seems the ones in other boutiques do, but I'll keep an eye out.

I am almost certain this is the way you get into the boutique. I was refused entry, I did a bunch of stuff around the town and tried again and I was allowed in. No outfit change, no day change. My only guess is "stylish" was a mistranslation of "popular" or "renowned" or something.

Edit: To clarify, it's "Do stuff in town"
I didn't get anything groomed, myself included, but I did do the 3 hotel quests, made a PR video and passed the 3 star and a 2 star restaurant.

Kirlia is famous for statistically being the absolute weakest evolved pokemon. Its final forms make up for its teenage awkwardness, if you're patient or have a male with a Dawn Stone.

Speaking of stones, are they as hard to come by as they were in Gen V? I miss being able to buy the things or at least having a mini-game that could dig them up.

It's random, but I found a Pupitar in my X using the Friend Safari.

Training up my Klinklang, and it's exactly the same as it was in Gen V: great physical stats, but mainly learns special moves leveling up. So far the only new move it learns is Magnetic Flux: boosts the defence stats of Pokémon with Plus or Minus. :sigh:

Whenever you get enough hearts above your guy's head (after feeding it or betting it) you should get a chain of them that appear without you doing anything. When that happens your affection goes up by one heart. The last affection heart takes two of these chains to appear, though.

The second meter just fills as you feed your pokemon. When it's full you can't feed it anymore until you play mini games or maybe after time passes?

The third meter fills as you play the mini games but I don't know what it affects.

I've had these effects with maxed out Poke-amie affection: Reading the trainer's mind to somehow dodge an attack, getting a crit out of nowhere, and surviving at 1HP like the pokemon had endure or a focus sash. I'm sure that there are more effects but I haven't seen them yet. I also haven't noticed any of the effects while mega evolved which is kind of a shame.

One of the people near the store actually says "Being stylish means knowing all about everything in Lumiose City!" or something so yeah that's probably it.

Grinding super training level 2 seems to be much more efficient than grinding level 3. The minigames are considerably easier so you can finish them a lot quicker.

For those wondering about the evolution stones, you also get them by completing the secret super trainings. (Unlocked after you max out a Pokemons EVs.)

For those wanting Sylveon, Eevee learns Charm (which is Fairy-based) at level 29. I don't know if affection is a factor as well, but I got mine fairly happy with me (a little heart on its picture in the pokemon select screen of pokemon-amie), and it evolved right after learning Charm so take that with a grain of salt and experiment :shrug:.

I don't think happiness or a fairy type move matters at all, here's a post I made earlier:

So if anyone is wondering about evolving Eevee into Sylveon, I just got mine. I caught a level 19 Eevee, maxed out the affection stat in the Pokemon-amie and levelled it up once.
