Used an IV calculator for it. The Heracross is lvl 30 and has no ev's so it should be fairly accurate.

So that's why it was weird for some other pokemon I checked. It also does not have some of the new characteristics.

Picked up Pokémon X & Y at GameStop today and they had three plush Pokémon : Fennekin, Froakie, and Chespin. My 3yo was with me and went totally gaga over them. I told him he could pick one and pointed to each as I named them. He goes "I choooose... Um mm... Mmm... Froakie!"



I then asked him if he wanted to give his Froakie a nickname. "Imma nickname him... um... Froakie!"

What are the ideal natures for a new Froakie and Charmander? And what are some good initial stat ranges when you get them (levels 5 and 10 respectively) Currently I have a calm Froakie and a timid Charmander. Is that decent or garbage?

Is it possible to over train (eg, go more than 252) an ability in Super training? Or will it just refuse to allot more points as you keep playing the super game? I know it won't hand out more points if you hit the total stat, but I don't know about individual ones.

Nope, it caps out at 252.

Froakie is really fast and has a bit higher special attack than attack (and his special moves are generally better than his physical moves except for fighting type coverage), so you want a nature that emphasizes special attack or speed and doesn't penalize the other. Modest, Hasty, Naive, Timid, Mild, or Rash.

Can't help you with the stat ranges or Charmander info.

Alternatively, breed it, give it some vitamins and then finish it with Super Training or the old way. :D Unless it's shiny or has an alternate ability that can't be passed down.

Ah. No, and in one case breeding for a better ability would probably be smart. But with my starter, I'm just attached

Hey is there a list of the Fennekin lines move list anywhere? Been keeping mine in it's base form for awhile but would like to know when it's best to evolve it. The usual websites aren't updating with that stuff very fast (games only been out a week to be fair but the guide must be out now right?).

No, but instead of trying to get lucky and get a reset bag, you can just breed the pokemon and start with a fresh level 1 one. Unless like I said it's a special pokemon.

It's a misspelling of Protean, which is Froakie's hidden ability. It changes its type to the type of whatever move you're about to use, so it always gets STAB and can flip its resists around all the time.

Wait, how the hell are we getting Gen VI starters with their hidden abilities already?

Another stupid Pokemon question....but if I wanted to breed a starter pokemon do I need to trade for another one with someone else or can I use a ditto or something? I don't know how this crazy game works.

You can just use a ditto! I bred my Fennekin with a ditto and then used the babies as trade fodder. Works pretty good.

Every pokemon that appears in Friend Safari can come with its hidden ability (at least for those that have them). Since there are something like 100 total pokemon, mostly gen 2-5 starters and legendaries, which aren't available via Friend Safari, that includes pretty much every hidden ability on the books. The gen 1 and 6 starters are in Friend Safari and pretty common.

Strong against Dragon, Fighting and Dark, weak to Poison and Steel, immune to Dragon, resisted by Fire, Steel and Poison.

Poison and Steel. Fire resists them, but isn't super-effective.

Faries are weak to Poison and Steel, that's it. Fire types resist Fairy attacks though.

I'm pretty sure they're not weak to Fire. They're weak to Poison and Steel though. I usually try to hit for their secondary types because I'm still playing with the mindset that Fairy Type isn't a thing so I don't need to carry Poison or Steel attacks.

Fairies aren't weak against fire, but fire types resist fairy. Fairies are weak to poison and steel and are immune to dragon. Fairy does super effective damage to dragon, fighting and dark types.

It can be influenced with an Everstone on one of the parents, but otherwise it's random.
