it involves a moderately involved glitch that can be set up to force a wild encounter against any pokemon. it's usually called the Mew Glitch because people use it to get mew

I guess I have some googling to do after work.

EDIT: Oh nice, thanks for the tip. Not big on glitching, but it beats not having the Pokemon!

You have to have a Pokemon with a particular special stat though.

It honestly sounds kind of tedious, but I guess it wouldn't be a goal worth achieving if it were easy.

xy is super generous with the amount of different pokemon available to you(3 seperate pokedexes with 150 pokemon each)

the only real important advice is that the exp share makes it super easy to outlevel and remove any real challenge from the game; if you don't want that happening either have it turned off or do what some people do and use more than six pokemon regularly

I vaguely remember in gold/silver there was an item you could have a pokemon hold that would give it some booster exp. In this literally all the pokemon could get the same exp? Like instead of 1 pokemon getting 600 they all get 600? or do they each get 100 (or more if you had less than 6?). I assume its the first way since I don't see how you'd outlevel the game splitting exp like the latter.

Thanks for that, I'll see how it goes and maybe turn it on/off depending if I find I'm struggling. Thanks :)

instead of a hold item it's now just a toggle thing; iirc it gives 50% the normal exp you'd get to every pokemon in your party which effectively means it triples the amount of exp you get from a pokemon if you have 6 on-hand

I think Turtonator is pretty neat. Complaining that it's ugly is kind of moot since the animal its based on isn't exactly pretty either.

I'm kind of surprised that Turtonator hasn't displayed the Mata Mata's most famous ability. It hunts by instantly vacuuming up the hapless prey that manages to get too close to it. Maybe it learns the Stockpile/Spit Up/Swallow combination as level up moves.
