Ugh, I can't tell if I'm doing something wrong but I can't seem to evolve my Inkay. It's already level 32 and it still won't evolve no matter how much I turned my 3ds around.

Hippowdon with Sand Tomb can make a terrifying trapper. It's a shame none of the pokemon that give it Slack Off are available at the moment, so you'll have to use StockPile and Swallow for recovery. Nevertheless, that thing can destroy teams.

Hold it upside down during the entire battle that he's going to level in. I think the key moment is as the levelup occurs.

Oak was updated with X/Y Pokemon! e: Sorry, forgot the link. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/oak/id717984967?mt=8 Not sure how reliable it is since it's an overall Pokedex and might not have stats correct for XY. e2: So far, from what I can tell from R/B/Y Pokes available in XY, the current locations in XY locations are excluded. noirstronaut fucked around with this message at 12:20 on Nov 22, 2013 |

Additionally, crits seem to use the attack with stat changes in mind, so your Draco Meteor will get weaker over time. e: I don't understand why Fairy couldn't resist Ghost as well. Now Ghost is effective against 2 types, resisted by only one type and only Normal, a rare type in higher tiers, is immune to it. Offensively, it's probably the best type now. horriblePencilist fucked around with this message at 12:31 on Nov 22, 2013 |

MustelaFuro posted:Could someone possibly explain this shiny number thing please? Both numbers are hidden, but can be discovered by reading the data the 3DS sends through your wifi. So, since 99.9% of all eggs will never come out shiny for their owners, people start trading. Like, if I have a personal Shiny Value of 132, someone might send me an egg with that same value, because it will come out as shiny for me. In exchange, they hope to at some point get eggs with their own shiny number. TL;DR: The game checks numbers to see if an egg hatches shiny. People trade to make those numbers match, and get shinies.

Hot drat, I guess the game felt sorry for me last night because after finding four shiny Pansears in this loving safari I finally nabbed a shiny Modest Larvesta with IVs of 31 / 14–19 / 31 / 24–26 / 27–29 / 31

Considering I've never once found a natural shiny despite playing through every generation of the games, I'm kind of tempted to do this. I'm guessing I'd have to download some specific program?

You may need a priority user (or two) to deal with Cloyster because after a shell smash he outspeeds your whole team and will sweep unless rock blast misses. Unfortunately most unboosted priority moves won't ohko even against a -1 defense. Burning or doing a good chunk of damage to Cloyster as he switches in will help a bit. Max Defense Rotom-W is also a decent check that can survive +2 boosted moves and OHKO with a thunderbolt. Comedy Option - Quagsire or Clefable.

http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/instacheck-hotspot-a-fast-pok%E9mon-checker-for-xy.3492531/ You need this app, then just trade the egg with someone who has a shiny value that is the same as one of the eggs. Also, there is a huge one with GameFAQs people, but GameFAQs people are literally the worst kinds of people.

The goon safari spreadsheet has some trainer shiny #'s, but if you really want a shiny you will have to trade with people in #shinyvalue. Last I checked they had almost 2k trainers I think. It's a combination of smogon dudes and redditors mostly. edit: Also, your "shiny number" isn't anything new. The way the game determines if a pokemon is shiny hasn't changed. It's still using: code:The change between this gen and previous gens is that it used to be < 8. The trainer and egg "shiny numbers" are just code:In past gens your shiny number would have just been the same as above except >> 2. astr0man fucked around with this message at 16:03 on Nov 22, 2013 |

They have been pretty good about blacklisting jerks who steal shiny pokemon. I know Emalde has at least 3 or 4 shinies that he got from using #shinyvalue. If someone steals your egg just let the people in chat know and they'll get removed from the list. #shinyvalue's sheet is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0Ak2hDRJIzJHbdFItaVJidTRTZTJxZnY1dThxNzRxbHc You can see the blacklist worksheet as well.

That seems really tedious. This seems like the kind of thing that would be best done by pairing up with someone to swap eggs back and forth.

Yeah I feel like my luck is broken - I've hit nothing so far after hours of dicking around in there. Is there anything that would hinder someone's chances? I have a friend safari with pumpkaboo and lampent (no third) and like that because I'd be happy with either shiny. No dice so far. I've temporarily gone back to a gastly breeding spree because at least the 5IV timid gastlies I end up with can be traded away.

You can do this with a goon from #pokegoons. Then once you have the egg you want, you try to see if theres a shiny number match in the goon or #shinyvalue spreadsheets. Basically you shouldn't be instachecking anything until you are at the point in your breeding chain where you are getting a bunch of 5iv eggs and so forth. edit: and checking eggs really isn't any more tedious then chaining, or safari farming. astr0man fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Nov 22, 2013 |
