Ludicolo is my favourite though and I like him being the centerpiece. Too bad my shiny lotad is a swift swimmer with bad ivs Hydration Goodra with Rest paired with Rain Dish Ludicolo would be super annoying and possibly effective.

Anatharon posted:Is there any other Mega Houndoom, Mega Absol, Mega Tyranitar, and Mega Gyarados are the four dark-type mega evolutions. This generation also added Malamar, which has some interesting tricks, and Pangoro, which is powerful but probably inferior overall to Scrafty. Everybody loves Greninja, though its Dark typing doesn't really matter because its hidden ability, Protean, is why people like it. Sableye, Murkrow (but not Honchkrow), and Liepard are Prankster users, giving them tremendous utility despite their weakness. Hydreigon, Bisharp, and Weavile are all rather useful, and I've had some success in the past with a Drapion. Zoroark has an interesting gimmick that lets it masquerade as another pokemon in your team, which is hard to use but can be very effective.

Does anybody know what the multisymbol bordered pokepuffs do? I've gotten 2 whenever I get a good score in unlimited head-it (800+/5 stars). I'm guessing they're strictly better than all the others, but I have no idea if they have other effects.

If you're willing either to take some damage yourself or if you can find room for a ghost type on your team then boom burst is an absurdly powerful AoE normal move. Maybe a more offensively oriented water pokemon? Clawitzer's got great coverage, Rotom-W's good all around but overlaps with Heliolisk, uhhh I dunno what else. Azumarill?

Internet Kraken posted:In my opinion if I ever win a game entirely because my pokemon have 5 perfect IVs, I should of lost. There are enough variables in this game that I don't think I can attribute my success solely to my stat breeding. I only do it because I'm a I only really aim for "good" stats more than perfect stats; the importance of IVs is especially lessened by the in-game battle rules capping levels at 50 rather than 100. I've been using the same Charizard, Mawile, Gogoat and Goodra that I went through the story with in online battles and doing perfectly fine. That being said, with the Safari guaranteeing at least 2 perfect IVs on each Pokemon caught there, when I'm breeding it's a lot easier to keep track of things when I'm working with perfect IVs because the Judge will specifically say "this stat's perfect" and I don't have to go to the work of checking stats on newborn Pokemon. It's just a lot more convenient to get everything perfect than punching things into a calculator every single time, to me.

and it annoys me when something isn't as close to perfect as possible. Also because I derive a sense of satisfaction of finally having the Judge tell me my pokemon is perfect in basically everything.

Mystic Mongol posted:Nifty! Where do you catch these pokemon? I'll update the guide if you tell me. List of the babies and what egg groups their evolutions fall under: Chingling (Amorphous) - Reflection Cave Tyrogue (Human-like) - Friend Safari Smoochum (Human-like) - Frost Cavern [Hordes] Azurill (Water 1/Fairy) - Route 3, Route 22 Budew (Grass/Fairy) - Route 4 Mime Jr (Human-like) - Reflection Cave [Hordes] Riolu (Field/Human-like) - Route 22, Friend Safari Mantyke (Water 1) - Route 12, Azure Bay This is a wide enough net to get 5V studs for literally any egg group in the game, either directly or through chain breeding.

Steelion posted:If I'm trying to breed a Ferroseed with leech seed and stealth rock, can I do it in steps? As in, I found this out the other night, but you cannot currently breed a leech seed+stealth rock ferroseed. Egg moves only come from the father, and you need exactly a Torterra (which isn't available) with a move tutor'd stealth rock as a father for that combination.

Good news, if noone knows about it, is if you entered the friend safari while your friend is online you can keep getting the third pokemon/hidden abilities if he goes offline as long as you don't leave. Bad news is that Gabites in friend safari have Take Down.

If you plan on battling in the battlespot you should max out speed IVs on popular pokemon (ones like Garchomp, Talonflame, etc) so you don't instantly lose the mirror.

Good news, if your friend goes offline you can leave the safari, shut your game off, run a lap around the world, win four Olympic medals, go back to the friend safari, and find that things still have their hidden abilities. It only requires that you've both been online at the same time once.

When a Gale Wings Talonflame uses Fly, is priority given to the first turn, the second turn, or both?

Haifisch posted:You don't even need to do unlimited - if you already have a stockpile of good puffs, you can do any game twice on the easiest mode and it'll work to reset your notes. I find that the tile game is a lot faster than Head It, although none of them are exactly hard.  It'd be nice to know the specifics of the minigames, though. Does doing well influence your Affection increase? Does Puzzle unlimited count as doing one puzzle per stage?

How well you do only affects the cupcakes you get. Doing the yarn game and letting the first three fall gets the same snack/petting allowance as scoring over a thousand (base score caps at 999 but bonus points based on largest combo).

Looks like Pokemon hacking is starting to take off. A fellow over at Project Pokemon by the name of codemonkey85 has released a very barebones .pkx file editor. In addition, people have figured out how to inject encrypted .pkx files (.bin) into the "incoming Wonder Trade" packet data. There's pretty much a full guide on how to do this over at GBAtemp ed: assuming you know how to do things like packet injection/sniffing. You need a WLAN dongle, it seems, which I don't have so I can't do this myself. Now, I'm not saying use this to cheat and get impossible abilities or movesets or stats.. but we should be able to get info on Diancie, Hoopa and Volcanion, and any other Pokemon past that. Once a .pkx editor comes out that supports items, we should also be able to check out any new mega stones that we don't know about yet. Of course, this is assuming that this extra data is actually in the game and not just gonna be patched in at a later point - it's pretty likely though, since Blazikenite would have to be in the game data to get it via Mystery Gift. ...but most importantly, we can get a Whimsicott then start breeding them to get them out into the wild  ed: if someone wants to try this I stole a snorlax.pkx example out of that Project Pokemon thread and made a handful of .bins out of it, just changed the ID of Snorlax to 719/720/721 and 547 (Whimsicott  ). I don't want to recommend trying beyond 721 because who knows what would happen if you got Wonder Traded a Pokemon that doesn't exist, but if you want to make your own .pkx and give it a shot, go ahead. I think you're supposed to replace the [bracketed] section on the GBATemp diagram of a Wonder Trade packet with the contents of the .bin file.

Also, holy poo poo I just found a shiny Wingull in a horde while EV training and that was the most nervewracking capture I've ever had to do because HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO TELL WHICH ONE IS WHICH, CRIPES. Luckily since I was EV training I had some weak Pokemon on me to test which one was which but that was just terrifying.
