They're right next to each other, and the fossil town not long after gives you the chance at a T-rex. What exactly is Pokerus? I got an Espurr with it over Wonder Trade, didn't want to get rid of it without knowing what it does.

Do trades with NPCs give Pokemon with fixed natures/IVs?

If you plan on training competitively, that's going to be your greatest asset. Simply put, it doubles the EVs gained from battling other pokemon, and it can be passed to others on your team. It makes training WORLDS easier.

I managed to get a Ditto and decided to breed a Torchic and make some guy on Wonder Trade really happy. I was expecting Sentret, but I got an Eevee with Adaptability from a Japanese dude for it

Every other game I got a flood of "this looks cool but I've got my 6" around Gym 8 and Victory Road but I've got so many I have a box full of "I want to play around with this" that I pretty much swap out every time I hit a pokecenter. Snorlax, Yanma, Houndour, Crobat, Bagon, Axew, Farfetch'd, Dunsparce (rollout was awesome for a while), Mawile, Mantyke (just looking for a Remoraid, who's another I love), Golett, Eevee, Aerodactyl, Trapinch, Honedge, Vivillion, Steelix, Carbink... and that's not counting two sets of starters.

It's a really useful thing that you can only acquire through pure luck.

Honestly this game has been nothing but Harvest Moon: Pokemon Route 7 Edition to me for the last 20 hours. Just me riding up and down the lane, planting berries, breeding 'mons, drinking coffee, playing dressup, playing in Amie and occasionally making some dough in the Battle Chateau. I think I've spent more time on Route 7 already than I ever have on all Victory Roads combined.

I've been fighting horde battles with multi target TMs via sweet scent and the power items to EV train and I've been maxing out guys in twenty minutes. Dazzling gleam or whatever is a good multi hit move for this.

Ok, I now have two questions: One, how do you spread Pokerus? Two, can you get Koffing easily? I want to spread a pokeplague to everyone through random trades. Rattatta or Grimer work as alternatives.

I love how Luminose City is just so drat big it needed TWO Pokemon centers  There's so much stuff to do it's ridiculous, I've actually had to force myself to hold off on Super Training all my pokemon, all the crap you can do in Luminose city on top of just straight catching whatever shows up. All so I can just advance through the game normally.

If you play it with a perfect spread of turns used, no faints and an amulet coin you get 120,762p. I've been doing it perfectly every time with a team of Blaziken and Raichu. Apparently Sushi High Roller is 160,000p (16 big nuggets). I'd do that but somehow even being the champion isn't enough to get in there.

I think the earliest Pokemon you can get who would work for a Pokeplague is Gulpin. Also keep in mind that Pokemon who have Pokerus in your party...either at the stroke of midnight or for 24 hours, will go benign, and while they'll still have the effects of Pokerus they can't spread it anymore. You can have a Pokemon remain permanently viral by keeping a "control subject" in a Pokemon box and only bringing him out when you need it. I don't think I saw anyone mention this.
