Alright added you all but then got bored of copying and pasting! Apparently my Safari has Ursarings and Audinos (does this mean people can level the poo poo out of their Pokemon in my safari??). Thanks to the goon who let me know! I don't yet know who the third 'mon is.

1521-3674-8737, IGN and Friends list name are both Jenn because I am creative.

Just tipping my hat into the Safari arena here. My FC is 4253-3992-5250. I have a Grass Safari with Pansage, Ivysaur(!) and Maractus.

Adding both of you dudes, I need a Chlorophyll Venusaur for my machinations and I just want Audino for grinding.

My safari is flying type so there's not much to offer, but it doess have Gale Wings Fletchinders if you're into that sort of thing.

Kirlia knows a move that can be used outside of battle.

It means she has a move she can use out of battle--probably teleport.

That's a field ability, something that has an effect outside of battle. The image is of a TM, not sure why.

I've spent all day catching dittos in the friend safari, hoping to get an ideal one to make breeding simple. 70+ dittos later and this is the best I have to show for it. I'm not even trying for something absurd like perfect across the board, I just want really good stats in everything. Which shouldn't be THAT hard given two IVs are guaranteed perfect, but no.

I have the worst luck with these games. Can't get shinies, good IVs, or catch pokemon easily. Had dittos with 1 hp break out of repeat balls 10 times in a row.

According to the spreadsheet someone posted you have Ditto in your Friend Safari. If so, do you have a spare friend spot? :)

An Adamant 31 Att/Def/SpA can be mighty good for breeding, I don't see the problem. It even has a pretty alright SpD IV, and Speed isn't horrible.

I thought of a cool way to play through the main game.

Start a new game.
Catch 6 or more Pokemon.
Wonder Trade all of them.
Keep the first 6 different Pokemon you get.
Beat the game with those 6 different "wonder" Pokemon.

Is it possible to find Gligar in a horde? Or in a Friend Safari? Because I really want a Poison Heal Gliscor, but Serebii seems to suggest they can't be found in the Friend Safari, and I can't seem to find any information on horde battle availability.

It's a cool idea but chances are you'll be going through the game with 4 Bunnelbys, a Scatterbug and an elemental monkey E: Oh different Pokemon, but still most of the stuff I get on Wondertrade are from the first couple of routes

You've only got ~50 sounds to work with and 'L' is non existent.

I actually got a Japanese ditto last night, so I might be doing the Masuda method soon.

It took me way too long to realize that I could swap any two tiles with each other instead of just the tile immediately adjacent to it. Also, you are seriously a puzzle wizard. 7 seconds?

You could allow yourself to have 8 or 10 different Pokemon so you can have HM slaves and a bit more variety.

Storm Throw has 60 power this generation. With the guaranteed critical hit that's is 120 power with 100% accuracy while ignoring bonus defense stats. Remvoing Brick Break on my Pinsir for this, it sounds really good.

Critical hits were nerfed to 1.5 times normal damage. So it's a 90 power move effectively. Still good though.
