Desperate Character posted:So for Pumpkaboo IV breeding, do eggs take on the size of the mother or the size of the father? The mother's size is passed down. I still have 5-6 5iv (and a box full of 4iv) supersize Pumpkaboos up for grabs, though. Hit me up in the trading thread, #pokegoons channel, or over PMs if you want to skip breeding.

I feel like this is a dark path I am going to go down. Sadly it looks like the GBA games are pretty expensive used. Amazon list it for 300 dollars.

I have a giant box of 4 IV Eevees mostly Timid. If anyone wants one PM me and it's yours. I don't need anything, but if you have 4 IV starters (not froakie or charmander) I'd be interested. I'm also looking for the following Vivillion: Garden, Savannah, Sun, Sandstorm, Monsoon, Jungle, Archepalgo, and Ocean

Mega Venusaur is so good! I bred a 5 IV Gengar, he's just rotting in my Battle Box, because I'm bringing Venusaur to every fight. Consider this. Enemy team consisted of Rotom-W, Talonflame, Garchomp. You know this guy or girl is in here to win, he's not loving around. Talonflame came at me with Brave Bird, but I switched to Aegislash to tank the hit and riposte with my Rocky Helm. Third time they caught on and didn't use Brave Bird against my Venasaur and just used Flare Blitz. But I expected that and just soaked it with Synthesis. Talonflame dies to Leech Seed and Toxic. Garchomp was sent out, and yes, Earthquake was pretty devastating. But I got a Leech Seed out and just tanked it out with Synthesis/Giga Drain. Their last guy was Rotom-W against my Venusaur who was at full hp. They forfeited.

So I'm thinking of playing some 3-pokemon singles (That's the online ranked format right?). I was wondering if any goons had suggestions for good teammates for a Gyarados? I'm currently running a bulky dragon-dance set, as follows: Gyarados @ Leftovers Jolly Intimidate 252 Atk / 204 Speed / 48 HP / 4 Def -Waterfall -Earthquake -Substitute -Dragon Dance I'm guessing that some kind of answer to the 4x Electric weakness will be needed. Maybe some kind of cleric/support as well? I understand that I'll probably get a better grasp for things from playing matches but I just want some suggestions as to where I can start looking for teammate options. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm currently running a bulky dragon-dance set, as follows: Jolteon would be a great choice for a teammate! Gives you a special attacker and it eats electric attacks and turns them into a boost. Something like Thunderbolt/Shadow ball/Volt Switch/Protect is great. Protect scouts and since you're Jolteon you're fast enough to Volt Switch out on nearly everything to something else on your team that's better suited to the situation (Earthquakes don't do poo poo to Gyara! Another reason they work so well together!)

I've been getting all sorts of stuff off GTS, writing in poke's that aren't in my pokedex! About the only things I haven't been able to get are things that are definitely inaccessible until events happen. JPN traders seem fantastically generous too.

Any suggestions for this doubles team? Politoed@Damp Rock Modest - Drizzle Scald Ice Beam Protect Rain Dance Ludicolo@Sitrus Berry Calm - Rain Dish Surf Giga Drain Leech Seed Substitute Toxicroak@Black Sludge Impish - Dry Skin Drain Punch Ice Punch Toxic Substitute Heliolisk@Lum Berry Timid - Dry Skin Thunder Electrify Toxic Substitute Quagsire@Leftovers Relaxed - Unaware Scald Toxic Swagger Recover Goodra@Assault Vest Mild - Hydration Dragon Pulse Thunderbolt Sludge Bomb Infestation My setup would generally be Politoed, Ludicolo, Goodra and then one of Toxicroak/Heliolisk/Quagsire depending on the opponent's team. Politoed has rain dance so I don't have to waste turns switching if the other guy leads with a Mega Char-Y or Mega Ttar. Right now I pretty much am guaranteed to lose if Politoed dies, but honestly without a damp rock I'd probably still lose even with a backup rain dancer.

I think a Steel type would probably break your team in half. Heliolisk has a pretty decent movepool, so you could always put more stuff on him for coverage. Mine has Grass Knot, Thunderbolt, Surf and Dark Pulse.

While injecting modified pokes into the game hasn't been quite figured out yet, sniffing packets to see the IVs of the pokemon you're about to be wonder traded before you even see their trainer card pop up makes wonder trading a bit more fun.

I figured that toxicroak and a potential burn from scald would eventually be able to wear down a steel type.

astr0man posted:You should be able to get it from the move reminder. If you're relying on moves like scald or discharge it's generally better to not run toxic. This doesn't apply to steel types of course. I'm just saying status moves get worse the more of them you have and there's potentially better moves to put in place of some of them. Like for toxicroak swords dance or sucker punch is often going to be more useful to you.

Hey, so I've heard that the type-changing abilities (Aerialate, Glaciate, Pixilate) apparently grant a 30% power boost to affected moves on top of everything else (STAB, items, etc). Any confirmation on this?

Cause all the cool kids are doing it: StrongBad the Hawlucha - Was there to hold the Amulet Coin and smack the occasional part Dark-type in the face. Glamdring the Aegislash - Took care of most of Pikablu the Azumarill - Is a beast, even with Thick Fat instead of Huge Power. Kicked the crap out of the dragon guy and fire lady. She later owned the whole show when I stupidly checked out the Battle Maison for a few minutes. Scarlet the Delfox - Blaze Bursted most everything on Ren Fair guy's team to death... Elvis the Tyrantrum - ...and anything left standing got Earthquaked. Wally the Venusaur - Rocked Black Sludge instead of the Mega Stone and it saved his flowery butt. New Wave water guy's Gyarados stupidly Dragon Danced for just the right amount of turns for Wally to Petal Blizzard him to death. Then a bunch of crazy stuff happened including, if I am not mistaken, a 3,000 year old hobo hugging a flower-thing?

As someone who is only really familiar with gen 1, how can I tell if a Pokemon is shiny or not? I know they are a different colour, but as i don't know what colour they normally are is there another visual or audio clue?

Yeah, there's a whole audio cue and sparkles song and dance when it comes out in battle/gets encountered so that everybody can be extra sure it's Shiny.

When they pop up sparkles will pop out of it and if you catch it there will be a red star indicating that it's shiny. If you don't know what a particular Pokemon normally looks like take a quick look at it on Bulbapedia or something. Some shinies look very different colorwise, while others look almost the same. Also don't be fooled by Flabebes

And at least with pre-Gen 6 mons, you can just look up the sprite on Bulbapedia/Serebii/whatever if you wanna be extra certain.

My Halloween plan of using Shedinja online is not going well, probably the worst/most embarrassing was Shadow Sneaking something and getting killed by its Rocky Helmet. On the plus side, having Shedinja in my team preview means that so far everyone has been too afraid of bring their Azumarill into battle and getting walled.

What with how easy it is to get xp now, and all the places you can catch quite high level Pseudolegendaries, I've ended up with a lot. An extra Goodra, two Salamences, four Hydreigons, and an extra Garchomp. Also have another Goomy and Gabite on the go. Oh, and the three Dragoniteers. I think Kalos is probably the part on the map they mark "here be dragons" because good lord there's a ton of them. Oh, and I finally beat all the Sky Trainers. Wasn't going to bother but then I saw there was a medal for it. Also, you can use Fly in Sky Battles. I guess they fly up extra high. Carnivine is pretty funny too.

I got given a really good IV'd Trevenant from Japan off Wonder Trade. It was even in its first form, which I have no idea what it is called because it was in katakana, so it evolved on arrival. I've made it a rule to wonder-trade late-evening to increase the odds of getting stuff from awesome JPN people.
