Huge Power Mawile fits rather well with an Adamant nature. The only other thing you could effectively run is Impish, which I do agree is a better nature now that Steel no longer resists Dark.

I'm joking, I was breeding Mawiles for ages looking for one with Intimidate and a decent nature, but like I said before they seem to have changed how abilities are passed down because I was there for a long-rear end time and now I feel like my brain is rotting in my head.

I was really looking for an Adamant one, but I did get an Impish one and realized that wasn't so bad. :unsmith:

I have a question regarding the "1 Mega per team" rule.

Specifically how does it work? Can you have any number of Mega Stones "equipped", but only activate one in each battle, or just 1 Mega Stone within your party?

It's not gonna be savescumming really, just two separately downloaded copies of the game with their own saves. Still debating trying it for science, but I'm slightly worried about borking my main save. :ohdear:

For those curious: This borked my main save. Save data incompatible with this version. Boo! Guess I'll just have to buy X or something if I really want to whore me out some starters.

Oh well 20 hours of Pokemon is no big loss in the long run. Still going with Fennekin/Squirtle though.

They changed it for BW2. If you were not using Ditto, the hatchling would have the mother's ability slot 80% of the time. Whether they have made it apply more generally in gen 6 (because they seem to have changed other things) is not clear.

So according to my brother, who has done some testing, the Ralts given to you in postgame comes with 30 and 31 in Special Attack and Speed IVs, respectively. Can anyone else confirm if this is correctly applied to everyone who gets one, or did he just get a lucky roll?

The former, I use Charizard and Blaziken, both with a Mega stone and if I use one I just can't activate the other that battle. You could have a full party holding Mega stones if you wanted, it's just that only one can be activated per fight.

That's just how saves work on 3DS with any digital game, otherwise you could buy one copy and just copy it for all your friends.

I think you can do ranked battles through them. Ranks change every 'season' (every three months).

So Terminus cave is pretty lovely. Long rear end place filled with trash pokemon. Despite the variety shown in the rest of the game, this one area only has like 4 wild pokemon. It's long as hell so you end up seeing tons of them. And apparently, it isn't progress, because I just got told by some rear end in a top hat in the very back of the cave to leave because I'm not champ.

WELL WHY THE gently caress DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT AT THE ENTRANCE THEN?!?! :byodood:

Depends on what you want to use it for Scrafty has some really good Dragon Dance or Bulk Up sets, but generally needs to get some momentum through those or Moxie before he can really do anything. Pangoro starts strong with a beastly 130 Attack, high HP and acceptable defenses, but really isn't good at staying alive for a long time. He gets Parting Shot though, and that's pretty neat!

So this new Pokémon Global Link has pictures of all the Pokémon. So I did a thing where you can look up Pokémon ID number and Forme ID. Mega Evolutions count as a different Forme (so Charizard has formes 0,1,2), but they do not have different art, so Mega Charizard X looks like Charizard.

Pokédex spoilers, do not look if you want future surprises for stuff we haven't found yet:

There is no 719th Pokémon, if it existed it would be at that link.
All of the current Mega Evolutions have been found. I ran a script to check every Pokemon that has a second form, Pokemon with "--" in front just have regular, non-Mega Evolution forms. Only Charizard and Mewtwo have two Mega Evolutions.

Lipstick Apathy
So, I haven't played Pokemon since Gold and Silver. My wife is wanting to start playing, but is a completionist, so I'm assuming she will want to 'catch them all' (at least the ones that weren't for special events). I understand I'll need at least X and Y, but I'm assuming I'll need to go back to gen 5 (and maybe gen 4) to get the vast majority of Pokemon. Is that the case? In looking at the OP as long as I use gen 5 as an intermediary, I'll eventually be able to use the cloud thing to get gen 4 pokemon on X and Y copies.

The problem with Aegislash is that he is a horrible false swiper for ditto farming. Ditto will copy him, and then false swipe is has no effect (normal -> ghost). Outside of ditto though, yea why not.

Very likely, you'll be able to get reasonably enough everything through trading with strangers online. You really shouldn't need to get all the old games to get all the Pokemon, though it might make it a lot easier to get certain Pokemon, like legendaries.

Honestly, I'd use a different Poke for Ditto farming. If I'm Ditto farming, I'm setting time aside just for that. Beyond that, I want a capable false swiper that can be used for more than just that.

Not gonna get all conspiracy or "the leakers are all fake!" on you, but I'm not sure why you're expecting Nintendo to be absolutely incompetent. It wouldn't be too hard to manually adjust data that isn't revealed yet to prevent datamining like this, especially with something like an event 'mon. I doubt they'd go through that much effort for mega-evolutions though.

e: You could unscamble them with an imagemagick script that cropped them into quadrants and then put it back together in the right order, wouldn't be too difficult. I'll try to work it out and get a full .zip once I'm back from class tonight.
