Diplomatic Immunity posted:Hearing about Pokemon Bank makes me want to join the impeding rush of prior gen pokemon that'll soon be flooding battles/trades. Well it depends, but yes. I'm sure most of them are hacked cartridges. I mean if you used a 6-IV ditto that you sent over from the bank I'm fairly certain that the offspring would be considered legitimate. But then again the bank isn't out yet so we can't say for certain.

Zoness posted:Running Weavile, Glaceon, and Umbreon together makes you really vulnerable to fighting, in addition to the horrible fire weakness Weavile, Glaceon, and Scizor. Is this for singles, doubles, or rotation battles? (I'm much worse at evaluating things that aren't meant for Singles). It's not really for anything, they're just some of my favorites. I am wondering how to get further in single battles though since I'd like a Razor Claw for Sneasel. So far I've been running Aegislash/Pangoro/Delphox and it's been okay, but I still peter out around battle 12 or so.

For normal singles, just about any fully evolved team with good type coverage should be able to hit 20 and clear the chantelaine. For super singles, a lineup of ev-trained support + 2 sweepers works pretty well. I got to 43 running a team like that before I managed to get my M-Scizor ko'd by crit Earthquakes from a Garchomp  .

Speaking of Scizor, have they put in an alternative to trade-evolution yet? I like my Scyther and want him to evolve but I don't want to trade him off to some random rear end in a top hat in Spain Also, have we figured out what cities/places correspond to what parts of Europe? I know the one with rocks and poo poo is supposed to be Stonehenge, at least, and Lumiose is obviously Paris.

Swagger (and Yawn) is one of the reasons I run an Espeon (Magic Bounce  ) but yeah, it's really frustrating sometimes. Substitute + Lum Berry on a sweeper with good self-recovery is also not a bad idea.The worst near-loss I've had was a 6-turn freeze on my Togekiss though. Blizzard was only hitting for 25% but it wasn't missing! Just remember: if anything isn't a 100% chance to happen in the Maison be prepared for the worst. And if you ever think "the only way this could go badly is if it crits again", you will get crit again. Zoness fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Nov 14, 2013 |

I've spent a good deal of time in France, and I can tell you, Kalos is pretty much 1:1 with northwest France. Lumiose is Paris, as you said. Parfum Palace is Versaiiles, the Battle Chateau is Chenonceau, Shabboneau Castle is Cheverny, the Tower of Mastery is Mont Saint-Michel, etc. Pretty much every locale has a real-life counterpart in France. Even the architecture is similar. It's really nifty.

They will gently caress you over given the chance. Hence why my entire team was wrecked by a scarfed Braviary that brave birded my entire team critting two of them.

 Pure dumb luck. Was hatching some eggs for someone in the trading thread. He has 4 perfect IVs in HP, Attack, Defense and Special Defense. Kind of a shame, cause I did just hatch and EV train a new one to replace my other one that was missing the SpD IV and Ice Shard but I guess he's getting replaced too. Does anyone around here wanna trade fully EV trained/raised Pokemon?

Diplomatic Immunity posted:Hearing about Pokemon Bank makes me want to join the impeding rush of prior gen pokemon that'll soon be flooding battles/trades. Don't take the risk of buying Pokemon games used just to save a few bucks. It is very common to encounter bootlegged copies of the game that, among other things, won't last as long as legit carts and will have limited (possibly no) connectivity with other carts making it hard or impossible to trade or transfer stuff from prior or future generations. You can easily find copies of BW2 still in most major retail store. Amazon has it for 26.91 with free shipping if you have Prime.

At a high enough level, the Battle Chateau starts having furisode girls who have three level 65 Audinos. Add a Lucky Egg and the Exp. + O-Power, and that will get one guy from level 1 to nearly level 50 in a single battle. Obviously you'll need to have someone else do the fighting, unless the thing being leveled is a ghost, in which case teach it Curse and watch them all die while being unable to touch you.

So. Showdown time? Shortest battle log ever. "Opponent sent out Manectric. Go, IronPrick (Excadrill) Mancectric Mega-Evolved! Excadrill's attack fell! Excadrill used Earthquake! Mega Manectric fainted! Opponent forfeits." If Mega Manectric is that clutch maybe you shouldn't keep him in versus Excadrill?
