Kooriken posted:So, Gogoat actually looks pretty decent! What does everyone suggest for a nature and EVs? I was thinking about going Careful Nature with 252 Attack and Split Defenses. Moveset something like Earthquake/Horn Leech or Leaf Blade/Milk Drink/Brick Break or Leech Seed. I'm going for Adamant since it's bulky there. Hon Leech, Bulk Up, Milk Drink, and Rock Slide. Earthquake would make Flying types open to attack me and render that move useless.

Nakar posted:The Maison cheats as bad as previous Battle incarnations, but it's much more giving with rewards. You get 1 BP per battle until after the 10th, then you get 2 per battle. You get a bonus for beating the bosses, and you can also unlock Super modes where you start off getting 3 BP per battle (but the cheating gets intense in Supers). And then you get to round fifty and the boss has the legendary birds and regis. If you beat them, you get a monument in the exchange area which is really just to make you feel better before every team after the boss has Latios to smash your head in. If you get past fifty just stop and save yourself the pain.

Is there really no way to keep pokemon in the daycare from leveling up/forgetting moves? I need to pass down 2 egg moves in my next breeding project, but I know the pokemon I'm breeding will learn a bunch of trash moves and forget them in only a few levels.

Also, in regards to breeding, is it supposed to be this hard because got drat. I have tons of Elekids, but I have yet to get one that's Naive. I know I could probably get a Ditto, Everstone, dot hat whole thing, but do people really just have to be super patient when doing this? Also, when it comes to perfect IVs, are people trying to get all 6 to be 31 or just the two areas wherein they are EV training that Poke the most?

I am kind of mindboggled that the Gen VI starters don't have Mega Forms. Like, what's the point? I understand that the Gen I starters were laser-targeted nostalgia bombs, but you would think that the Gen VI starters would also be able to show off the new Gen VI game mechanic.

Keeping it in the bag for Z/Gen 7, and/or seeing where they settle in the endgame before deciding what needs what. Protean Greninja is basically a Mega Form for that anyway.

Welp, my inner child is devastated, I got rocked by the water guy of the Elite Four. I haven't lost to one of them in... Ever. I think I'll rebuild my team now and maybe gently bandage my ego. While I do that, is Victory Road the best place to train up the new team, or should I go somewhere else? Where are all the Audino at!? e: also have you always lost money when you lost a battle? I thought I just passed out in prior generations... Red Baron fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Oct 24, 2013 |

My Yvetal came with its 3 perfect IVs in HP, Atk, and SpAtk, which was pretty cool, but it had the -SpAtk +Atk nature and I'm pretty sure all the cool moves it gets are Special. Fortunately I don't really care about using legendaries so much to watch all those cutscenes again, so it's just gonna sit in the PC I guess. It's like it never left its cocoon. e: I guess I could do an acrobatics + suckerpunch + roost + coverage move? moveset if I really wanted to use it.

DoctorStrangelove posted:Greninja is the best starter this Gen by such a wide margin I kinda feel bad for the people who didn't pick Froakie. I see so many people who have ingrained "Fire is the best" into their heads so hard that they use Braxien/Blaziken/Charizard all on the same team and it's about heartbreaking to ruin that. Then they also do cover legendary/Mewtwo/Zygarde and it just goes to "well you wanted this". After the talkin yesterday about Sucker Punch I decided to start breeding Pawniards with it and one of them wound up being shiny and thankfully not a bad nature (neutral nature, not GREAT but), so that worked out pretty well. It's very hard to pet Pawniard and Bisharp in amie though because of the whole made of knives thing. sword_man.gif fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Oct 24, 2013 |

the only reason I chose Froakie was because my friend already picked chespin- who I actually wanted. However Froakie was a great choice, nothing beats French Ninja Frog. Though I think I'm going to try a team with Chespin just because he's a Bomb Squad Hedgehog

In the campaign, Delphox doesn't stand out much from Charizard, Delphox, or Infernape, in that it goes first and packs a powerful Flamethrower, and its hidden ability is kind of awkward to use. But I feel like it's going to be very distinctive once people get a handle on it. If nothing else, Psychic types often get interesting egg moves.

Eh, even the standard starter Greninja does pretty well for himself in terms of speed, special attack, and moveset-- Water Shuriken is a little disappointing, and I wish he had some better Dark options, but Extrasensory and Ice Beam give him some nice coverage. Dude takes hits like a chump, though.

Evil Eagle posted:So how is this for a Goodra? Haven't though about natures / EVs yet, but I think this has potential. I've seen this set running around, and the basic opinion is: Really good conceptually, but Goodra really, really needs independent Drizzle support on a Hydration Infestation set. The three turns necessary to set up Rain Dance - Infestation - Toxic is a really significant number of turns, all the while your opponent is trying to kill you. Yeah, Goodra's really bulky, but three turns to even GET to Toxic is really just too long. Plus, dead walled by Steel and Poison types. I've seen something like this running around: Goodra @ Binding Band Hydration Infestation Toxic Rest/Protect Coverage Move - Sludge Wave, Sludge Bomb, Fire Blast, Draco Meteor, Thunderbolt Pretty much the exact same concept, just a little more reliant on team support at the expense of being able to set up faster and counter potential threats. You can use Protect over Rest to get a free turn to let Toxic and Infestation whittle away your opponent, which could be situationally more useful than Rest if your Drizzler is dead. Coverage depends on your team! A Poison move would be for potential Fairy switch-ins; though, Thunderbolt serves the same purpose, considering the most popular Fairies running around right now are Azumarill and Togekiss. Fire Blast can be used for the Steel-types that would otherwise laugh at this set; you can still trap them and Fire Blast them to death, and Goodra's bulky enough to shrug it off or shrug off the damage from the occasional miss. You can use Draco Meteor if you want a surprisingly powerful STAB move, but that brings you back to being walled by Steels and Fairies.
