People keep saying that tipping gives you a larger chance of getting a shiny. I'm 99% sure this is Correlation Fallacy.

Yeah, I don't really believe it, either, but at the same time making money in the game is easy so it's like, might as well do it.

Are Metal Coats sold anywhere in game? I've found one, just wondering if I use it to make a Scizor for my playthrough now whether I'd be wasting the only coat available.

Replace "spike" with "dong" and I'm sure the name will work out great. It also won't be filtered.

Well I just got back from my visit to the move relearner, Tyrantrum doesn't get any of the elemental bites, and Pangoro doesn't get any of the elemental punches.

So unless they learn them at some point above level 50~ish, consider me disappointed.

Tyrantrum gets all four fangs as egg moves. Sadly, Pangoro doesn't get any of the elemental punches in any way but I'm hoping it will at least get Drain Punch as an egg move.

I put the free Lucario on GTS for a ditto, then bred Torchics and Squirtles (I had already Wonder Traded Braxien at this point). Put a female starter up on GTS and request another starter of any gender, wait an hour or less and it will be there. Trading isn't really anything like you probably think it is from previous games and GTS is available at any time from a touch screen menu. As long as you have a wireless internet connection you can get anything you want traded.

72 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA / 180 Spe is Smogon's spread, though if it's for general wifi you could probably just go straight 252 Spa/252 speed since they don't have to be tailored to meet specific Gen 5 OU threats.

However, with the weather nerf (all weather is 5 turns now, even with a weather starter), Thick Fat Venusaur may prove more useful anyway. Chlorophyll Venusaur is garbage outside of the sun.

"I stood there, wondering why the puck was getting bigger...

I tried to take pictures with my cell phone but they came out super lovely, but both shiny Meowstics looks pretty cool. They traded the blue/white motif for a pale yellow/white motif, with the male being predominantly yellow and having blue eyes and the female being predominantly white and having crazy red pupils.

They're both Timid and both Keen Eye, so it's almost like they're twins. Unfortunately for the boy, his best IVs are in Attack and SpDef according to the Kiloude City guy, but the girl got a rating of outstanding and he mentioned her HP, SpDef, and Speed, so I guess all three of those are 31.

As soon as I found a Ditto, I went "welp, gently caress the main story, I've got the rest of my life to beat the game so I may as well flood the market with starters." So I did. All you unreasonable kiddies out there asking for Bulbasaurs in exchange for your Abra, rejoice! I've been able to put up starters in GTS and request just about anything short of legendary and get it in five minutes. This is way easier than having to go out and catch them the hard way :rolleyes:

No shops I'm able to reach had the game. So I had to order online for my copy of X. Then I bought Y on the eShop anyway. DOWNLOAD FASTER drat IT. :f5:

Also, I think I may need to get a bigger SD card. The stock 2GB only has 400 blocks left after installing Y. Is there any way to back up my save data or do I lose everything when I swap cards?

I don't know the exact specifics, but your save data should be good if you just do a simple copypaste of data from one card to another, but trying to reload a game from a backup will erase everything as part of Nintendo's bizarre data management.

By a copypaste, do you mean by copying it onto a PC and then putting it onto another card? The game itself I'm not worried about, 1.7GB is chump change for me. I just don't want to get deep in the game, decide I need a bigger card and then have to start from scratch.

Generally the fastest thing you'll ever see are base 110 scarfers, though the most common 110 scarfer in Gen V, Latios, really doesn't want to be using choice items anymore with fairies around so base 108 scarfers (Terrakion, Keldeo, Infernape) might be a better benchmark. How much EVs you need to do that depends on your Venusaur's Speed IV so I can't give you specific advice there. Also if your Venusaur doesn't have a + Speed nature you won't be able to beat 108s anyway so you should just max Speed, which I believe is just enough to beat 105 scarves like Mienshao.
