If you are breeding Vivillon, does it use the origin data of the parent Pokemon or do the eggs hatch with your region design?

Vivillon patterns are determined by OT, so if you hatch eggs they will be your pattern since you're the OT.

So, I'm totally in love with Zoroark's ability and really want to use it to throw off some people online. Does anybody have any good ideas for both a moveset and an Illusion target? For his moves, I know that I want Taunt, but I don't know if I should go for STABby things and try to pile damage with his respectable base 120 Sp.Atk or if I want to give him an Expert Belt and a bunch of moves like Aerial Ace and Flamethrower, etc.

For his Illusion target I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with Toxicroak but if anybody has any hilarious ideas I'm open to them.

the target of mine was usually Chandelure or Conkledurr, with a move set of nasty plot/flamethrower/dark pulse/focus blast, holding a focus sash. got so many questions of how does Chandelure get nasty plot.

This is without a doubt the dumbest way I've ever won. This game lasted 20 turns, entirely because despite being outplayed my Gothitelle is a tank. When it came down to his last two pokemon, I was able to psychic down his Noivern. Then it became a staring contest between his Meowstic and min. We kept buffing with calm mind, thinking we could outlast each other. Then I scored a crit after like 10 turns of that and won.

Farfetch'd and Luvdisc. At least Sunkern evolves.

Farfetch'd can learn Cut, Fly, and False Swipe. Teach him Thief as well and he'll come in useful a lot. Plus he's cute as gently caress.

In battle though, yeah, he's pretty much gonna drop dead instantly.

Yeah see I don't need a cutter anymore and I use Talonflame as a fly carrier because it also has flame body for egg hatching.

I was actually planning to try a Leaf Blade/Night Slash with a Stick (since, supposedly, stick now makes high-crit always crit) but even then it needs a Swords Dance/Speed Boost baton pass and I have to pray it survives the switch.

Statistically, what are the weakest Pokemon in the game right now? Luvdisc's one of 'em, but what are some others?

I'm gonna turn them into online battlin' machines. I already have plans for Luvdisc. It just needs some comrades first!

Sunkern is, at least in terms of BST, the weakest I believe.

I assume you're only interested in fully evolved, so.

Smeargle, Ditto, Delibird, Luvdisc, Unown, Farfetch'd.

If you don't want the gimmicks of Ditto, Delibird, and Unown, then replace them with Corsola, Mawile, and Kricketune.

Note that out of these Smeargle actually has some use because it's speed is...tolerable, and it technically has a gigantic movepool. But it's a support - it will never kill anything. Unless you use some kind of toxic/infestation/wrap with a binding band but oh crackers do you really think this thing is going to get three turns per pokemon to set up.

Sunkern at least has the excuse that it evolves into the pretty tolerable Sunflora.

Yes, but make sure you manually check and remove the stolen item every time one is taken or you'll kick yourself.

Also you might wanna upgrade and go with a Noibat with Frisk and Thief. That way you can quickly run away due to it's high-speed.

Vivillon has the Compound Eyes ability, which increases the chance of wild Pokemon holding an item, so it's probably better.

It's Luvdiscs, man. Vivillon's plenty fast, and Compoundeyes increases the odds of an item being there to steal. You could faint Vivillon in slot one and use a Frisk Noivern second though, assuming that trick still works.

Don't forget Slash. An effective 105 BP attack that always crits and ignores defensive boosts isn't too shabby... although it is coming off Farfetch'd awful attack. It caps out at 251 with a helpful nature and maxed IV/EVs. :v:

Still, always crits. That's kind of a cool gimmick and might make Farfetch'd viable in NU as a wallbreaker of some kind. :shobon:

Prefacing this with "I do not know the names of different 'positions' on a Pokemon team"

That said, I was thinking of using Goodra as somewhat of an annoying type Poke. It seemed like, at lease for the E4, my biggest plan of movement would be to change it so it rains, hit them, heal up, wake up, repeat the process. Unless/when I get to Drasna, the dragon-type member, I feel like I should be fine? I know I can easily get through the E4 with any Poke, I get that, but I wanna take this from the mentality that the E4 are legitimate players with these Pokes at their disposal.

This may have been answered already, but can you have a fainted Pokemon with Compound Eyes in the first party slot and have its ability still work? I remember this working for Gen IV.

You can do both. Put an unconscious Compound Eyes user on point, then the Frisk Thief user in the second slot. It'll work.

I'm pretty sure this still works since I was using a fainted Scatterbug while hunting for sticks and found two in pretty short order.

Could just be confirmation bias though.

I forgot about slash. Even though the shiny one has a poo poo nature (+def-sp.def) maybe I'll try it anyways just to see if I can win with a gimmick. That'd be a video worth seeing.
