Is there a way to get better odds at breeding a non-hidden ability onto a pokemon? I have a chansey (with Serene Grace) and a ditto in the day care, and every single one of the dozens of kids has had serene grace. I can't get a Natural Cure one at all.

I've found a: Nidoran (M & F) and Zubat so far. Tentacool's a freaking staple of surfing/fishing so it's bound to be in-game (right? right??). Gastly are easy to get as well! Croagunk's a more uncommon find early on in the routes.

All of them in the poison team can be. I'm not sure about Numel, Turtwig, Shellos and Larvesta. I believe Joltik can be foiund in friend safari.

Shadow Ninja 64 posted:

All of those except for Turtwig are available in Friend Safaris.

Thank you all for the quick responses! Figures that Turtwig would be the odd-man out what with being a Starter and all, but between the other two teams, Box should be up and running long before I am in need of him. Thanks again!

I'm going to show some of my ignorance here, but why are imposter dittos a big deal? Is it a for-battles thing? I don't see anyone using them, unless its for like online versus battles. I know Ditto is a big deal for breeding in general, but my understanding (having never bred pokemon) is that Imposter would be irrelevant for that.

Imposter Ditto can produce offspring with the other Pokemon's Hidden Ability, which is a big deal, since Hidden Abilites are often very useful for a lot of reasons (mostly battling).

Basically the way it works is that any of the two Pokemon breeding needs to have its Hidden Ability. Imposter Ditto just lets you breed whatever, instead of NEEDING something with a Hidden Ability.

It really seems like game freak's response to "oh poo poo Garchomp is too powerful" is gently caress it make all of the pokemon as ridiculous as humanly possible.

I was beating a friend pretty badly today then he pulled out Garchomp and half my team got wrecked by Earthquake :negative:

I still won but I somehow never realised that half of my team is weak to ground. E: My bad, it's only 2/6 but he OHKO'd 3 of them.

I'm pretty sure the breeder folks here have stated that this is not true at all, and I feel bad because I'm the one who initially linked the tweet that suggested it was true.

If you got that Chansey from a friend zone try going on when the person is not online, as hidden abilities shouldn't appear then. No idea why you keep getting hidden abilities though, maybe you're just unlucky :shrug:

Also, if you actually want to fight with a Ditto you pretty much need imposter :v:

So, apparently, if you're dirt poor, and take a taxi anywhere that's too expensive for you, you engage in battle with the taxi driver.

It's possible to mug him for his money if your Pokémons' levels are high enough.

It is not possible to add Generation 5 games to your Global Link account any more. The Generation 5 site is being shut down in stages, and registration of new accounts/game carts was among the first features to go. You will not be able to use the Global Link functionality in those games.

Poké Transporter is separate from the Global Link. You will not need to register your game to the Global Link to use it.

Each child has an 80% probability of having the same ability slot as the mother, which in this case means that 80% of this Chansey's offspring should have Serene Grace.

Faced off against a Japanese player on Rated Wifi earlier, my protean Greninja vs her multiscale Dragonite.

I Ice Beam, Weakness Policy activates and grants Dragonite +2 attack and special attack. Dragonite survives with maybe 1/3rd HP left and Dragon Dances.

I lose.

That item is absurdly broken on a bulky sweeper. Aegislash will have definite potential with it.

Is this just because he and I haven't both been online at the same time since he beat the game?

You have to connect to the internet at the same time as him in game.

EDIT: Just the once though. Then it will always have three, and all three will be able to have their hidden abilities.

VVVVV Red Card wasn't that overpowered last gen, unless they made changes to it. It's an expensive use of an item slot, and unless it hits something with boosts all it's going to do is let them switch out to something more likely to wreck your poo poo. That said, you could make good use out of it with Klefki, seeing as it has priority Spikes and Recycle.

Does anyone else think this Red Card item looks overpowered? Instantly removing an attacker from a battle, once per battle sounds pretty strong.

Finally started breeding Hawluchas. Naming them all El Pheasanto and shooting them off into WonderTrade until I get my Adamant deathmachine.

Quick question about evolving and move lists. If I evolve a Pokemon before he learns an ability that he won't learn in his newly evolved form, can I go to the move reminder and give him that move, or will it only list moves on that specific creature's movelist?

It was in fifth generation and all it does is force the user to switch out, unless they changed it. It's not particularly good.

That's what the description said in 5th gen too. It's just a vague/sort of inaccurate description.

Another glitch has been found. This one washes out your Pokemon's colors.



To fix it, simply save and quit the game. When you come back, the Pokemon should be normal again.

This effect might look good on a number of Pokemon, actually. Maybe GF should implement some sort of Anti-Shiny system that produces individuals with muted color palettes in the next game.

Honestly, I think I like post-game Pokemon much more than the main campaign, but I always have fun playing the campaign like I played the originals. Not caring about EVs, etc. and going into it blind.
