Wait, hold on, did that Figy berry activate at the 50% threshold? Does that Muk have gluttony, or are they flat-out superior to Sitrus berries now?

I mentioned it earlier, but yes I run gluttony on my Muk now. Poison touch rarely did anything as I often had misty terrain up, and there are no good abilities for Muk to take with alchemy. Gluttony lets him eat the figy berry very reliably, so its been working well.

Scizor does not have any particularly desirable egg moves. Maybe Quick Guard under doubles circumstances.

Alright, this has probably been discussed in the thread already, but the page I had opened when I hit 'reply' to post was about 80 pages behind the current one. I'm swamped with other stuff, with little time to read the forums and whatnot right now, but I was going to take a quick Pokemon break for an hour or so. There's a problem, though. This goddamn game sync system's not working for me. I have an account set up, but when I go to sign in and sync my game, I get the error message:

"Your member information is currently being processed. Please come back later.
If this message continues to appear after a few hours, please contact customer service."

WHAT CUSTOMER SERVICE, YOU GUYS? I click 'Support' and all I get are some guides and FAQs. There's nothing else on the whole page that says customer service, unless both me and my ctrl+F are suddenly blind or some poo poo. Any help would be appreciated, and I'm sorry for asking a question that's almost definitely been covered. Please don't hate me for that, and feel free to just link to or quote the already-given answers if that's easier or whatever.

EDIT: I should add that it's been about eight or nine hours, now.

Has anyone been trading both Castform and Vanillite in GTS? Do they both pull in rare pokemon quickly? Has one or the other worked out better?

I'm at 5 more pokemon until I complete my Pokedex and have at least a breeding pokemon for every species. But even after that I want to still try to horde up some UBs and whatever other pokemon that can't breed I can manage to get.

I know no one's answered my above question about customer support, but don't worry about it either way. I figured out how to get to the page.

With that taken care of, I've got a friend code question: I see you guys trading codes for pokemon trades and all of that. Is it okay if I were to add some of you guys to my own list, mostly just to have more goon friends to trade and play with in my plaza? I'm guessing there's probably a Nintendo friend code exchange thread somewhere, but I actually just use my DS for Pokemon, so I haven't ventured into other DS-oriented threads yet.

My own code is 2423 - 6765 - 3460. Game/Nintendo name is Marlow. Goons, feel free to add me. Again, I've got no specific goal (like trading or battling) at the moment, but I will eventually, and it'd be nice to have more of you in my plaza.

edit: Oh yeah, it's gotta be a two-way thing, right? Where both parties add one another? Sorry, like I said--I only use it for Pokemon, and I only have one friend on here, so I'm actually kind of inexperienced with this system altogether.

They're both pretty insane. The castform market hasn't saturated yet but it's slowing down as more people catch on.

Alright I'll add you, I've always got tons of cool poo poo and near perfect breed rejects (Like really really close to perfect, I don't stop until I have perfect mons.) And I practically throw them out for free. 2982-0420-5464, in game name is Cory. I'm also on discord, (cute_korean_girl in the chat) if you hop on discord you'll find tons of other people trading and breeding really, really good pokemon and it's just easier to manage in a chat. It's probably the quickest way to get pokerus and completely legitimate 6IV Japanese dittos too. And yeah it has to be two way, we both have to add each other. I've already got you added though so.

I went into this generation having only played one other pokemon game since Gen 2 very, very casually. Not knowing what an IV, EV or nature was. But with the discord, this thread and nearly 150 hours of gametime... it's changed me... :geno:

i poop fire posted:

Like part of me is thinking, more people seem to be aware that castform is in high demand and they probably have the same plans to breed a million of them. So they'd be willing to part with more UBs and stuff.

But on the other hand, that means there are probably way more people trading castform which might make vanillite more likely to get a UB or something rare quickly since there wont be as many lowball offers. (I traded away so many castforms for incredibly common almost worthless crap because it was just easier than going out and catching it myself.) So I'm conflicted.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
The Incineroar I use is EVs: 88 HP / 252 Atk / 168 Spe

quote:

The EV spread ensures that Incineroar outruns everything up to uninvested base 80 speed Pokemon. This allows it to outrun support Tyranitar, Clefable, Skarmory, Mega Venusaur, and Buzzwole naturally. Running more speed is not advised because of the fact that it will never be able to outrun base 70+ speed Pokemon that invest significantly in speed (Hoopa-U, Mamoswine, Gyarados, etc.), and running some HP investment helps to augment Incineroar's good bulk with intimidate. Since this set is designed to wallbreak and weaken defensive cores, maximum attack with an adamant nature is required.

They are never gonna make an evolution to an old pokemon other than Eevee again.

There are lots of cool things that could be a pokemon. I'm more interested in them making interesting type combinations. There are lots of type combos that still haven't been done, and even more if you don't count legendaries. In particular I'd like to see what they would do for normal/ghost. Same goes for ghost/fighting but apparently some dumb event pokemon has that typing this gen. What a waste.

I'm still amazed that it took them this long to make a Koala Pokémon.

Like seriously, they made a literal garbage Pokémon, a keychain Pokémon and a god drat ice-cream cone Pokémon before it :psyduck:


e: that said, as long as they keep this new style going I'm gonna be happy no matter what they make. SuMo has so many good designs and I feel like a lot of them could fit in with the oldschool gen 1/2 designs. I didn't like the new direction they were heading in with gen 5/6 where everything was getting more abstract and sleek, so whatever game we're getting next I hope we'll see more cute and funny Pokémon :3:
