Do any of you have a Mawile with Intimidate? I've bred like three generations of it, and every single one came out with Hyper Cutter. No Everstone either.

I spent all day yesterday breeding a Mawile with Intimidate and Adamant. I can whip one up for you as soon as I get Fly, I don't feel like heading back to the breeder right now (I just got to the fourth Gym).

Could I also get one of those Mawiles when you get back to it? My FC is 1822-0006-3279

Is there any downside to keeping the EXP Share turned on? It feels like I'm cheating, all of my 'Mons are leveling at the same rate and it's fantastic but I know there's got to be a downside.

I haven't found one at all. Post-game leveling is a blast with it to. I had the other 4 available starters at level 1, took them and two higher levels to Victory Road. Leveling all of them at once makes this so much more convenient.

Do you have any in your PC? I'll accept any random baby Mawile that fits the bill really, since I plan on making more Mawile. Anyways, my friend code is 4313 - 0193 - 8878
Also how far into the game do you find Everstones?

Also off the wall comment, but does anyone else notice how much easier it is to breed? I've only bred to the third generation for my Mawile and I already have a good selection with their IV average hovering around 24 with a few solid 31s already. It feels like good genes are getting passed down a lot more frequently now.

4511-0481-0111 is my code. I...literally got Fly just after saying that.

You can get an Everstone in Geosenge Town, in the house to the left of the Pokemon Center.

EDIT: added you guys, if you get a trade request from some bozo named Evan then I got your eggs.

For the record, there's an 80% chance of a baby having the mother's ability (a 60% chance if the ability is a Hidden Ability). It was like this in BW/BW2.

Everybody who puts Caterpies and poo poo up on wonder trade sucks. I've done 15 so far, and I always try to send something cool with a funny nickname, and 10/15 of them were for Caterpies or Bidoofs with no nickname. The other five were pretty funny, but come on, assholes

The amount of people wanting a Scizor is aggravating. Like here I am with seven L1 Scyther ready to kick some rear end, and these butts want the thing that can Mega-Evolve!

Kinda surprised I'm not seeing any Gastly love. That may be something I have to put up myself in order to get what I want. Which, right now, is a Dratini or a Shuppet. Ah well! Half the fun is the hunt! No fun doing personal trades!

Also, Bulbasaur is easily the most-desired thing. Good god at the people wanting Bulbasaur. I mean poo poo, that's good for me. Bulbasaur hatch quickly! Was I the only person who chose him or something? Was everyone just scrambling to get to Mega Charizard?

Got a lot of breeding fodder, though! Sneasel, Lickitung, Kangaskhan, all the Gen 1/6 starters, Scyther, Heracross, Piloswine, a male Nidoran...

Tomorrow I'd like to get ahold of Goomy. Not for trading, I just want a L1 Goomy to Super Train. :3: Gonna shoot for an Adamant Scyther, too. That'll be fun. Scyther do not hatch quickly. The ones that aren't seaworthy, as it were, will be Wonder Traded away to some lucky players. Nothing like trading early and scoring something awesome! Especially since the Scyther I got was L51, so it's loaded with Night Slash and X-Scissor.

Oh my god. Yes, I do believe it is. :iia:

Do we know if the 200BP ability changing item's a key item/infinite use or not? I can't imagine it would be. They probably want you to really have to work for something that can swap abilities like that.

You seem to get a Reset Bag reliably when you fully train a Pokemon's EVs through Super Training, but can also get one at random for completing minigames or hitting other bags.

This is starting to feel like an even greater gen than I originally thought, and I already thought gen 6 has been the best gen so far.
Breeding is actually interesting now to see how you can crossbreed the best monsters possible, and I don't even have any of the convenience items yet. I feel like I'm starting to understand Brock's aspirations.
