I just realized that Solrock and Lunatone aren't even in S/M. GF really doesn't give a poo poo about them huh VVV Wouldn't +Speed on Pheromosa be overkill? I mean what the hell is gonna be outspeeding it other than another Pheromosa? Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 23:33 on Nov 25, 2016 |

Desperate Character posted:not having pokemon with priority moves in battle royale is so frustrating. the amount of pokemon living with just 1 hp left is killing me inside. I don't want to start breeding until I get the destiny knot, but that is 48 BP and you only get 1-2 BP per battle Get yourself a Meowth with Pickup, I had a Destiny Knot before I even hit the first trial

Choice Scarfs pose a real threat to Pheromosa since it's a wet tissue defence wise, think it's able to out speed most of the major Choice Scarf'ers if you go +Speed. Also it hits like a truck already.

It'll also get a Speed boost a lot of the time if it gets a kill, making it hard for Scarf users to revenge kill.

Man am I starting to like hatching Pokemon. Bred a bunch of honedges for wonder trade/gts and totodiles and I got one with Adamant which I understand is the best? Now I'm breeding and hatching jangmoos for gts and whichever reason and zoning out while watching youtube is fun

There's only one fashion you need. Sadly, the necklace is textured as part of the shirt instead of being its own entity. There's a frustrating lack of dark shoes in SM, but the dorky glasses make up for it.

DACK FAYDEN posted:Not Jolly for Buzzwole too? Buzzwole is too slow and has too high of an attack stat not to further boost it. Though I hear some like careful Buzzwoles to increase their paltry special bulk For Xurkitree I caught a timid and a modest one and I prefer the timid one for battle tree at least Also anyone know if light clay extends aurora veil length and whether brick break/psychic fangs breaks through it?

Boomstick Quaid posted:Buzzwole is too slow and has too high of an attack stat not to further boost it. Though I hear some like careful Buzzwoles to increase their paltry special bulk Light clay definitely boosts aurora veil's length iirc. Haven't pulled out my Ninetails in a while though. Also, only wild Mudsbray/Mudsdale hold Light clay, 5% of the time.

Does Isle Avue decrease eggs' cycles if you take them out before hatching, or is it all-or-nothing?

Again the best way to get this and any other 5% is to have a compoundeyes butterfree (the only non-hidden ability) at the front of your party. Dead or alive, it boosts the chance to 20%.

My third attempt at a blind Nuzlocke is going much more smoothly. However prepping for and doing trial #5 threw me for a loop. I trained up a Pokemon to tackle the type that nearby NPCs were mentioning it had (a Mudbray, to counter the eletric type I supposedly had to face) only for it to be killed by a lucky crit from a wild Raticate one fight before it was going to evolve. I decided to just go do the trial anyway only to learn the totem pokemon had levitate, which made ground type moves worthless, making the time I wasted leveling my Mudbray worthless.  The trial also took down a pokemon I had since the first island, but besides that no terrible loses like my second run.Here's hoping things don't keep going south for the next trials though.

Caught a Nihelago!  In a Dive Ball, because why not, Dive Balls are pretty and it matched the color scheme. e: It's got Perfect IVs in Speed (yay), Defense, and S. Defense. Unfortunately, everything else is only "decent" Blaziken386 fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Nov 26, 2016 |

Ya know, I really wish it was a 100% chance for Synchronize to work, instead of 50%. At least for legendary pokemon, geez. At least the UBs are all relatively easy to capture, even without using Beast Balls.
