While we're (or some of us are) on the subject of cute Pokemon, one of the greatest things I have got to do in this game was bring all my Eevee-derived guys into Pokemon Amie. Everybody evolve a bunch of Eevees and do this now because little girl me is just  (Holy poo poo, Jolteon looks a little like Stitch!  )

Also, you can use Kelpsy berries to eliminate Attack EVs, and they come from a Chesto/Persim mutation. Thanks a bunch  Now comes the part though of a RNG's hatred of me trying to get Modest nature

for PokeRadar shiny chaining do you have to pick a bush to continue the chain or can you walk around a bit and use the Radar again? I always seem to end up on the edge of the grass patch simply because I have no other choice of locations

I've only ever done singles battling but doubles sounds pretty interesting. I recall there being a write up on how to get into it earlier in the thread. Does anyone have that link?

I'm not very educated on IV breeding. Am I doing this right? I've got a mom with an everstone that has the nature and egg moves that I want, as well as 4 perfect IVs. I should breed it with a dad that has the missing perfect IV and give it a destiny knot, right? And eventually I should wind up with a baby that has the egg moves, nature, and 5 IVs that I want?

That's an OK start, but you really want both parents to have as many IVs as possible, so that some overlap (and therefor cannot be picked from a wrong parent). Basically replace parents with superior kids until you have two 4 IVs mating and eventually a 5 IV should turn up.

After a bit of breeding, I've gotten a Bagon with perfect IVs in everything but HP, where it's just 14-15. Should I keep breeding or is it not that big of a deal? I want him to be a Dragon Dancer, so some bulk would be nice.

Wish list for next gen: Let genderless dudes breed with other genderless dudes, complete with random babies and egg moves. Breeding is easier than ever, you can reliably pass down stats and everyone has easy access to decent breeding stock in the safaris, but it's still such a bitch getting genderless mons with good IVs. I think they may have realized this too, as there isn't a single new genderless mon this gen (legendaries excluded), and I bet Klefki and Honedge would have been genderless in ages past.

Any Pokemon community is gonna be mostly kids korusan posted:They aren't really kids so much as douchey teenagers and nerds who jump down people's throats if they make mistakes about movesets/are really supremacist about 'their way'. I've had to use the threads to get ideas for movesets and stat spreads until the main site uploads them and I can only spend like 20 minutes on there before getting fed up with how god awful the community is. Really, open any thread on there, read a page or two, and tell me the nastiness is unwarranted. This is very true, and it permeates beyond just their community too. Brett824 posted:I don't understand the competitive Pokemon community because they goal of minimizing luck and maximizing meta-game based strategy in Pokemon seems like the least interesting way of playing it. This is how most anything that is competitive works. No matter what is banned there will always be something that rises to the top and destroys variety in things, because only the best stuff will be used. The Double Team and OHKO argument is ridiculous, as it's absurd to think they will ruin everything.

So I like ghost Pokemon and I want to make a gimmick all Ghost team that is awesome and actually competitive. I already had three Ghosties in my team, so I thought I would just round it out: My one regret is that I can't use my TalonFlame named Glenn Peck Original Team: Special Eyes the Prankster Sableye Anti-meta lead/wrench in the gears Taunt Will O Wisp Foul Play Recover Needle the Aegislash Lead Attacker/Pretty fun to play with King's Shield Sacred Sword Shadow Sneak Swords Dance Ecto Cooler the MegaGengar Secondary Attacker Substitute Sludge Bomb Shadow Ball Focus Blast -or- Disable (not sure yet) People I will be adding: My shiny Golurk, with Iron Fists, punch moves, Earthquake, and Stealth Rock Rotom-W, probably a more defensive set. Chandelure, probably with Choice Specs, and Fire/Grass coverage. What do you guys think? Sounds like a really fun team to use, I would love any input on how to round it out.

I'd throw Dazzling Gleam on the Gengar instead of Focus Blast. Maybe replace the Substitute with Thunderbolt too. Or Destiny Bond as a "gently caress you" option since it has Shadow Tag.

Sylveon will tilt its head slightly, grin, and close its eyes when you rub at its ears. Espurr's hilarious. It just has this big dopey  on its face no matter what, but it gets mean-eyebrows if you try rubbing at its ears. Do Espurr/Meowstic just have four eyes total or what? Trained and am leveling a female Espurr at the moment. Can't really see under the ears very well in combat. Got a male in the wings, too. Bernard and Bianca. They aren't mice, but the colors match up pretty well!
