More 3v3 fun... M-Kanga might be overpowered, but he sure is predictable. I can't tell you how many times I've flat-out destroyed one with WP Aegislash, like so: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/xybattlespotsingles-79167372 ...Does anyone else besides me play in this format?

Togekiss is fantastic in letting Normal-type pokemon and pokemon with 4x weakness set-up. Since it's now Fairy/Fighting it has a 4x resistance to fighting moves as well as a 2x resistance to Grass and Bug moves. Here's the move-set I use in Battle Maison Super Doubles: Togekiss with Kebia Berry (you can switch this out with a healing item) 252 HP/252 Speed/4 Def Yawn Follow Me Roost Dazzling Gleam Follow Me makes all enemy pokemon focus on Togekiss; but it can only be learned as a Togepi/Togetic and can't be relearned once deleted (same with Yawn)

Yawn is not great in Doubles. If you want a status move you are better off with Thunder Wave. The speed probably isn't doing much for you, either. Follow Me is now only +2 priority so it can't redirect Fake Out anymore which would be the main reason to run speed. I would run either 8 to beat 4 speed Dragonite or none and dump all the rest into bulk.

Here's the move-set I use in Battle Maison Super Doubles: I actually prefer Eviolite Togetic as a damage sponge for a set-up, because it has overall higher defenses. You lose out on a bit of power on Dazzling Gleam, but ideally you get your set-up sweeper doing damage relatively unharmed.

Agreed on the dex, we've now got 718 separate entries, plus whatever event Legendaries there are after Zygarde. At least it'll be easier when the Poké Transporter comes online. Just for shits and giggles, I decided to figure out the longest chain of ownership of anyone I've got; looking at my Black version, that would be Wes's Espeon and Umbreon from Colosseum. Thusfar they've gone: Colosseum->Ruby->Fire Red->Emerald(cloning)->Pearl->Platinum->Soul Silver->Black->(eventually)X Holy poo poo they're a long way from home, region-wise they've gone Orre->Hoenn->Kanto->Hoenn->Sinnoh->Johto->Unova->(eventually)Kalos.

I'm breeding a 4 IV (HP Def SpA Spe) Female litwik with a 5 IV (All but Att) Male Ralts and the first Infiltrator Litwick that hatches randomly has 0 Attack but it's doesn't have max SpD. Is the 0 Attack worth breeding it with the female litwick to get a 4 IV 0 Att female or should I just keep going? ZenMasterBullshit fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Jan 20, 2014 |

Oh dur, I can't read. I still would, but I'm a bit OCD and try to get 0 Attack's whenever I can on special attackers. Especially with Foul Play being ubiquitous as it is these days.

5 or less attack IV means that 0/0 Chandelure is guaranteed to be 4HKOed by non-STAB Foul Play and 3HKOed by STAB Foul Play at level 50 (11 at level 100). It also means that Chandelure will only damage itself for 7.5% max if it hits itself in confusion. If that's important to you than go for it.

Welp got a 0 Att 4IV Female Litwick now. Just gotta keep breeding till I either get the spread for HP Ice. 3 Hours of breeding and only 3 5 IV Infiltraitor Litwicks, all male, all with surprisingly High Attack IV's. We'll pick up this tedious task tomorrow. Anyone want one of the 5 IV ones, though? They're all modest. I can give away 2 of them and be fine.

Just beat the Champion. How do I get the Hall of Fame photo with the artwork of my 6 Pokemon? Also, trying to get my hands on a Chimchar, but all GTS wants is legendaries. I wouldn't even care if it's a Level 1 with crap stats, just want my original lil' guy from Diamond...  Also, this. I REALLY would love the Amaura here. When're these coming out? eBay lists nothing.

If you want a thing, don't bother seeking it, deposit something with your desired pokemon as the return. As long as its reasonable, you'll probably get what you want inside of an hour. Version exclusives and things you need to breed to get work well for this.

I've been doing this with Dratini breeding leftovers and it's been working well. I don't bother changing their names though but I hope whomever picked up my Dratini named '4IV HP/SPD??' likes the name. The need to expand the "don't show event pokemon" to "don't show any legendary pokemon" because when you disable event pokemon requests in the GTS you still get pages of assholes asking for all the various pokemon and you know there has to have been cases of people trading away their moltres, by accident or not, for someone's caterpie or and so everyone does it in the hopes of being as lucky.

If you're looking to fill up your "seen" listings ingame, though, Serebii will list not only where you can catch Pokemon but where you can find trainers that have them. It's good for finding ones that are only owned by trainers in areas like the Battle Chateau or Gen5's sports complexes.

One of my friends is making a rain team for doubles (battle spot) and so far, he has this team: Lanturn @ Shell Bell Ability: Volt Absorb Level: 50 EVs: 200 HP / 208 Def / 100 SDef Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Soak - Surf - Ice Beam - Thunder Heliolisk @ Leftovers Ability: Dry Skin Level: 50 EVs: 108 HP / 240 Def / 160 Spd Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Glare (never used this move) - Electrify - Parabolic Charge - Volt Switch (he might change it for Dark Pulse, as he never use volt switch) Klefki @ Damp Rock Ability: Prankster Level: 50 EVs: 28 HP / 240 Def / 240 SDef - Rain Dance - Foul Play - Thunder Wave - Heal Block Galvantula (doesn't know what item to use) Ability: Compound Eyes Level: 50 EVs: 28 HP / 240 SAtk / 240 Spd - Sticky Web - Thunder - Signal Beam (maybe Discharge/ sucker punch would be better) - Gastro Acid (he was thinking of Bug Buzz, but gastro acid helped him shut down a mega blaziken so he's keeping it) And a few battles just because  .3YXG-WWWW-WWW4-ZKUL E6GW-WWWW-WWW4-ZLHC YNBW-WWWW-WWW4-ZLHJ Thing is, he doesn't know what his other two pokemon should be. Any advice?

There's no reason for it to be prohibited in doubles. It lacks the bulk that a lot of other perish trappers have and it has a pretty serious earthquake weakness. Also get on so I can trade you a bold synchronizer!! Txn posted:One of my friends is making a rain team for doubles (battle spot) and so far, he has this team: Why are those EV spreads 240? Unless you're going for a particular bulk threshold you never want to risk losing a speed tie. There's enough pokemon at the 108 speed tier on battle spot for Galvantula, and 28/240/240 doesn't give Klefki better bulk than 252/252/4 or 252/128/128. Parabolic Charge is also really underwhelming - Discharge is going to be a lot more work most of the time because Heliolisk is still weak to Earthquake at the end of the day. Lastly, don't use Shell Bell, and stick a Sitrus Berry on something. Klefki as a rain starter is fairly vulnerable to taunt or fake out + double tap, so make sure you're prepared without rain or pack a Politoed to make sure you can get the rain up.

That's because Mega Gengar isn't that great in doubles. Like he's strong but he's got mostly single target hits but any decent hit sent his way he dies so he dies fast in doubles.
