Two questions about breeding -

Where can I find a ditto, since that looks like the easiest way to breed whatever and I don't know all the egg groups?
When I'm waiting to see if I have an egg, can I just walk into a wall for a bit or do the steps have to actually move the character?

Dittos are available in Pokemon Village and I'm pretty sure you have to actually move the character.

No apparently I'm not noticing the path there because I always end up in Lumiose, Laverre or Route 17 whenever I go exploring.

You have to climb all the stairs around the big windmill, I don't know how I can be more specific.

I recently got Venusaur, his Mega Evo, and the TM for Toxic. Combined with Leech Seed, Mega Venusaur won't die, and just about everything dies to this combo. :getin:

Adamant Snorlax first try, though I wasn't planning on reseting for him. And right after that, the daycare! How far away is the everstone? I want to know if I should start breeding my starters now or after I get it.

From Leveling alone Female Meowstic Learns that Never Miss Fairy move, Charge beam, Extrasensory, and Shadow Ball.

Does her male counter part get an equivalent movepool this good because holy poo poo. Meowstic even has a bit of Bulk to her and can tank an attack or two.

Oh poo poo I totally discounted it when I saw Poison/Water and thought it'd be another Tentacool.

It's a dark horse for me. My Meowstic is Japanese so it levels crazy fast, looks great and kicks rear end.

Holy poo poo. Right after leaving my ditto and frogadier in the daycare they have an egg. Love at first sight, no?

Hopefully I'll get a good nature froakie out of this. My current one is mild, but I don't know what kind of nature froakie should have anyway, isn't it a mixed attacker?

I consider mine to be special, but it's natural movepool (and signature move) is primarily physical. Regardless, I say go for modest/timid and use TMs.

Hmm... maybe I'll just try a neutral nature so I can mix it up. As long as the attack stats are naturally high I suppose it doesn't matter.

Thuryl posted:

Aurorus definitely leans more toward special attacks, with an estimated 120 base SpA. Estimated base Speed is 70, so it should outspeed most things ingame if you EV it for speed and level it up a bit. On the defensive side it has good HP and SpD but low Def, so it'll probably be able to take neutral special hits okay, at least.

That's not bad, but is there anything that can leverage its Ability? Most Normal moves taught by TM aren't Special-type, and Hyper Beam is kinda crap vs. just using Ice Beam.

I just spent 2000 to dye my hair brown. Why is everything in this game so gosh darn expensive?

I just spent $600,000 pokedollars on TMs and poo poo to prep for the Elite Four. Use the Amulet Coin for every trainer fight, just keep it on your lead. You will make somewhere in the neighborhood of $1.5 million just going through the game, and that's without selling the poo poo that's worth money you get along the way.

Dunno if anyone else in the thread has got a shiny Mawile yet but i got one from an egg earlier.

Only posted that because here's what shiny Mega Mawile looks like.

Oh and since i'm not sure if there's a certain known method to evolve Eevee into Sylveon yet:
My Eevee didn't evolve when she leveled with a Fairy-type move, but once she hit 2 Hearts in Pokemon Amie(while still having the fairy-type move) and gained a level she evolved.

I hope that helps someone.

My current running team consists of:

Aerodactyl
Charizard
Pangoro
Ferroseed
Lapras
Skrelp

The first three are definitely staying, but does anyone else have better suggestions for the last three? There are so many poke's, it's hard to decide who to roll with.

Breed it with a Cranidos that learned the move. You may have to wait till post E4, but it is possible. Also isn't sturdy the ability that keeps it from dying? That's not a bad one to have.

Literally hundreds of thousands (millions?) of people are playing this game right now, encountering hundreds of pokemon each in the first few days. I think it's pretty likely that there'd be a good number of shinies showing up.

I've seen a rumour posted in the thread a few times now saying that tipping increases the chance of shinies appearing but I don't think anyone knows if it's true or not

What I've figured out is that Nature Power (which it gets leveling) should produce Tri-Attack when you're "In a building" (IE in an online battle I assume). The 20% Burn, Freeze or Paralyze chance could be pretty sweet.

Because the game is unhackable, unlike the prior versions, so they can't pull the data directly and have to rely on people figuring it out themselves and updating it manually.

Partially Because the super creep that runs it literally took no notes or anything from leaks and probably is waiting for official info before he lets people add anything because he desperately wants Nintendo-Sempai to notice him.
