I'm thinking of giving away 5IV pokemon for Pokemon20

I'm thinking of Charmanders because I saw today I still had my Charizard from gen1 https://twitter.com/WhattheHoule/status/698684879458861056 Though if I do that I have to give them my Charizard's moveset of Cut, Strength, Fire Blast, and FireSpin. Any recommendations? Maybe Clefairy because it was the original mascot.

That thing better know Cut, Ember, Fire Spin, and Flamethrower.

I have Mew codes! I only have 2, but I'd like to trade them for something. I'm not trying to aim high or get anything remotely "on par" but I just want some cool event Pokes or something. Bonus points if it's a Japanese event.

I got the Pokeball/Fancy pattern Vivillon, Pikachu with Surf and Hold Hands, Pikachu with Fly, Victini with V-Create, Manaphy, Celebi, Darkrai, Arceus, and Genesect. I also have some event shinies, and most of what I've mentioned are Japanese events. I'd very gladly trade any one of these for a Mew code.

What are the levels of the Vivillon, Flying Pikachu, and Victini?

My experience with EV Training went as follows:

1. Play Pokémon X with the Pokémon I caught in-game.

2. Discover their stats are terrible and get rid of them.

3. Spend, like, 300+ hours breeding, EV Training, etc. since this was the only game I had on 3DS at this point.

4. Find out I did it wrong.

5. Breed everything AGAIN.

6. Finally have great Pokémon.

7. Realize it's the end of the game and I have nothing to do with them. Die a little inside.

8. Make eggs for themed AS runs.

9. Complain online that AS is too easy while using EV Trained Pokémon.

10. Have nothing to do in the postgame.

11. Breed and EV Train some more.

12. Finally have boxes of awesome Pokémon I have nothing to do with.

13. Ponder where my life went out of control.

Now you go on wifi with your awesome pokemon and watch them get brutally crushed again and again and again by seemingly psychic Japanese people who know exactly what move you're going to use even when you just start using poo poo at random.

So I've been enjoying playing Battle Tests a lot, since it's a lot shorter and less depressing than the Battle Maison.

I normally just play to win all 5 battles since I'm not very good, but I finally got Master Rank Singles with Spinda, Gorebyss, and Clefable (6097 points).

This has not been my experience. I do quite well on wifi battles. What happens to me is I'm doing well, and my rear end in a top hat opponent flicks their wireless switch, disconnecting the match and denying me the ability to save a battle video! :argh:

It has happened to me so many times I started keeping track of which of my Pokemon was out when it happened, to see if I could find a pattern. So far, my Vaporeon has caused the most ragequits.

I've only ever done an online battle once. Some internet rando challenged me and I was bored with whatever I was doing in lategame X, so I went for it. It was probably a kid based on having Yveltal in their lineup (though I had Xerneas so who the hell knows). I ended up wiping the floor with them twice. I felt bad, so I went and caught an X-exclusive 'mon for them and traded it over. :unsmith:

So I don't know if maybe cancelling an Eevee evolving into Espeon means it won't evolve into Umbreon or something? But I ditched that Eevee that I was trying to evolve for two days, and just bred a new one.

New one evolved into Umbreon with little trouble. Super weird!

So they're saying it's an actual Legendary this time, unlike, well, pretty much every new Pokemon we see first of a generation, since Gen 2. Interesting.

The name is kinda dumb and also awkward to say, but it wouldn't be Pokemon without puns.

Twitch Plays Pokémon is at it again if anyone is interested. Although this time they're playing something pretty cool; a custom romhacked version of Crystal with, among other things:
    *All 251 pokemon obtainable in game
    *Modified story where you start in kanto instead and your character choices are people who look a lot like Gold and the original unused design of the gen 1 girl, Blue. The other one even becomes your rival!
    *Physical/special split
    *A less idiotic AI which might actually do things like switching
The most exciting thing here might be that the hack will be publicly released as soon as twitch manages to complete it. I'm really looking forward to that, I haven't played a gen 2 game in ages and this would be a great excuse.

Here's how to watch it: cover about the bottom eighth of the stream with tape. And magically, all the useless information is removed.

There's, let's see, a game of Pokemon Pinball going on, a game of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon (you know, in case the main game gets boring), a scrolling ticker with with poo poo like top posts from the subreddit, stream stats, donations...

But really, all of that is at the bottom and completely ignorable.

I don't think so. Unless I'm dumb all I can do is search for ones I want or deposit something I want to trade and request something for it. Pretty basic.
