 Stormbringer the Aegislash Slurp the Greninja Scrafty the Scrafy aka Pantsman Sprash the Vivillon Frietz the Talonflame G'oodzooks the Goodra. I wasn't expecting some of the types that came out of the elite 4 and subsequently had chunks of my team swept. Scraped through with my Greninja being all that was left, even though he was 83. Finally finished it after 61 hours with 255 caught. Had a lot of fun so far, and now I just gotta catch em all. Finishing the dex and getting a competitive team bred up is my next goal. That and keeping bugs from eating my berry farm

dorkasaurus_rex posted:Is it worth using Gyro Ball on a Relaxed Ferrothorn if it has perfect speed IVs? At level 100, Gyro Ball is outdamaged by Iron Head against everything slower than 218 Speed, which is to say uninvested 31 IV 91 Base Speed. At 50 it's even worse, dealing less than 80 Power against everything slower than Base 96 uninvested. That's enough that you'll still deal decent damage to offensive things at least but walls will give you trouble. However, running Iron Head to hit the slower things probably isn't a good idea since you still fail to 2HKO physically defensive Togekiss, Sylveon and Florges and the loss in power to stuff like Garchomp and Gengar is significant.

The Leper Colon V posted:Ferrothorn is still suitably slow that, as unless you're using it against something else that's also slow (which you shouldn't anyways), it won't make a huge difference. I mean, ideally, you want a low speed, but if you're mostly going to be using it against Fairies, etc., you'll probably be getting max BP either way. I posted about this earlier in the thread, but this advice is actually completely wrong. Those 31 speed points make an enormous difference for Gyro Ball: if you have 31 in Speed you can't hit anything with less than 406 speed for maximum damage. Pretty much nothing is that fast without a Scarf. If you have 0 speed the cutoff is 239. That said, a 31 Speed Ferrothorn's Gyro Ball will out-damage Iron Head on targets with at least 215 speed, which covers basically all sweepers but relatively few bulky mons that don't invest in speed.

Pretty much nothing is that fast without a Scarf. If you have 0 speed the cutoff is 239. If my math is right. the Ratio for Gyro Ball being better than Iron Head is 3.5, and the ratio for max damage is 6 If the slowest a Ferrothorn can be at level 50 is 22, that would put the Iron head breakpoint at 77, and the max damage breakpoint at 132. that's with zero EVs, zero IVs, and a speed hindering nature. a 31 IV, even with a speed hindering nature, raises the Iron Head breakpoint to ~124, and the max damage breakpoint to ~213. So yes, it hurts a lot.

Ferrothorn is so slow that 31 IVs increase its Speed by 70% at level 100 and 80% at level 50. It is definitely a big deal.

IIRC they basically watched the data that determines if a pokemon is shiny or not and noticed that pokemon that wouldn't be shiny in past games were shiny this gen.

noirstronaut posted:Didn't someone manage to figure out that the chances for bred Poke shinies was actually 2x more likely than past games or something like that? What they did was find out that the range of possible numbers as part of the ID that makes up the Pokemon and determines shininess has been doubled, which wouldn't be terribly hard to do with the .pkx data they've been able to pull. Finding out about Friend Safaris would require actually hacking into the game data proper.

Kurieg posted:If my math is right. the Ratio for Gyro Ball being better than Iron Head is 3.5, and the ratio for max damage is 6 Close. It's better than Iron Head when the target is faster by a ratio of 79/25 = 3.16, and max damage is achieved with a ratio of 149/25 = 5.96. noirstronaut posted:Didn't someone manage to figure out that the chances for bred Poke shinies was actually 2x more likely than past games or something like that? Yeah, it appears that the range of PIDs that produces shinies might have been doubled this generation, but we have no way of knowing for sure whether being in the Friend Safari or fighting hordes or tipping a lot or anything else causes the game to favor generating shinies more than it normally does.

If you didn't at least shed a tear after the Elite 4/Parade, you are an inhuman monster. I will, however, be adding this night to the list of shameful nerd poo poo that has caused me to tear up at least the first time I saw it (Ash dying at the end of Pokemon: The First Movie, Spock dying in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Picard playing the flute at the end of The Inner Light and when I rewatched the scene in Khazad-Dum when they discover Balin's Tomb in Fellowship for the first time after seeing The Hobbit), so if you were even the least bit sad about any of those things, cut me some loving slack, yeah?

How on earth can you like Skiddo but find Gogoat ugly? They're nigh-identical - Gogoat is larger and has curled horns, and that's it.

I don't know.  It's just not working for me anymore. In artwork it's not so bad but ingame it just looks wrong. On a completely unrelated matter, I fished a shiny Luvdisc earlier. Is that worth anything for trade ? e: nvm it seems shinies are much more common this time around. I might try to trade it for a shiny skiddo then.  vv You got that wrong, that's sawsbuck.

Shiny fished pokemon probably aren't going to be worth as much due to chain fishing, which is like using the radar but way easier. I only spent a few hours doing it and got 5 shiny Skrelp.

Also, it's not that unmanageable to be honest. I use the inner route for everything now (the one that goes through every plaza). Once you memorize the five plaza names (and can eye-ball what you're looking for on the roads) you can find things much quicker.
