Ideally a few hours, but that's obviously a pain to babysit so like try to relist it 1-2 times day I guess.

Ultra Beasts ignore the modifier of any non-Beast balls, so a poké ball should work exactly as well as, say an ultra or heavy ball. It's just bad luck on your end. Beast balls get a 5x multiplier.

Yeah, all non-Beast balls have a .6x modifier to catch.

Which is still better than the Beast Ball's .1x modifier on non-Ultra Beasts.

Any Pokeball that isn't a Beast Ball has its Catch multiplier reduced to 0.6x if used on an Ultra Beast.

Thanks for the info. My limited searches didn't tell me anything, but I figured there was some hidden math going on. Though it turns out that my luck was still extremely poor for a while.

I would literally pay my money dollars to Nintendo if this was just added as DLC. Not a lot, mind you, but I'd do it.

Following Pokemon is just too cool, and it's exciting to see what they can do with the flexibility of utilizing 3D models.

I would like one, if you still have some left. Sylveon is the cutest and a cute pink ball is perfect for it.

I'll be available to trade later today and most of the week.

I've started to dip my toes into the Battle Tree, and got to a 40+ streak. Figured it's time to really make sure I'm going with the strategy that's most likely to take me to 100, and I'm not entirely sure what my team should be. Until now I've just done more or less random combinations of my 6 fully-trained (IV/EV/nature/item) mons, but could someone with experience of higher tiers of Battle Tree tell me which 3 of these I should be going with?

This is the first time I play the Battle Tree equivalent and I managed to unlock Super Singles in one go. Got to round 10 with Buzzwole, Starmie and Magnezone.

Buzzwole @ Leftovers
Beast Boost
196 HP / 188 Atk / 12 SpD / 112 Spe
Adamant
- Focus Punch
- Substitute
- Leech Life
- Earthquake

Magnezone @ Air Balloon
Sturdy
252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest
- Thunder Wave
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Flash Cannon

Starmie @ Life Orb
Natural Cure
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid
- Thunderbolt
- Dazzling Gleam
- Ice Beam
- Surf

I got stomped by Sina's Drampa and Mandibuzz. I use Substitute/Focus Punch on Buzzwole and Drampa's slowness wouldn't let me set up for Focus Punch because he'd destroy the sub with one Hurricane. Mandibuzz would just confuse my dudes and Roost back from Magnezone's Thunderbolts.

I will probably get Hammer Arm on Buzzwole just so I have a fighting move I can use without setting up a sub but I don't know what else to do to improve my team.

I also have a Minior and Turtonator being EV trained right now.

The "judge" feature you unlock for the PC is IVs, right? The other day I got a garchomp via wonder trade. I thought that was lucky alone, but it turns out that it has perfect IVs (or at least 3 perfect IVs and 3 hyper trained ones)

Also I missed that it was shiny. :stare:

Is there a way to check EVs? I'm pretty sure I maxed out EVs via pelego but I'm not certain because the guy didn't make any special comments when I did the last session for what should have been the remaining 4 EVs

Judge is IVs, yes. Press Y on a Pokemon's normal stat summary screen to see an EV graph - maxed stats sparkle, and if the EV cap has been hit it'll be blue instead of yellow.

When you open the summary page, press Y and you'll get a yellow overlay over the stats that shows the EVs.

Also drat, you got pretty lucky. If it's hyper trained that suggests that it's not even hacked.

Okay, weird, the EV spread is yellow to suggest it''s not capped - 2 stats are sparkling and I did 1 session for a third stat - shouldn't that be full EVs? Like a full EV train should be 63 + 63 + 1 because 1 session is 4 EVs, right?

Yeah I'm not sure what AlphaKretin is saying, because I've got a bunch of fully EV trained mons and they all have the yellow EV spread field.

I made a team, can I get some feedback? It's just for 6v6 between friends on Showdown using stuff currently available. Don't really follow Smogon OU/meta stuff, generally I just make gimmick teams that people hate playing against. So here's a Baton Pass one!

http://pastebin.com/raw/RbsXs0PQ

The plan:
Open with Extreme Evoboost on Eevee, Baton Pass to one of the sweepers (hopefully Sylveon, who can then Baton Pass again if they switch in something that Sylveon cannot handle).

Alternative: Open with Ninetales-A and use Aurora Veil for added safety, get some attacks off then switch into Eevee and use Extreme Evoboost.

Sylveon's Hyper Voice won't be available until Pokebank so that's why it has Shadow Ball instead for now.

The only one on here I am not sure about is Toxapex. Thinking about replacing with either bulky Vaporeon for more Baton Pass shenanigans or Mimikyu for the free Swords Dance/switch-in because of Disguise.

Anyway, any thoughts/ideas/critique would be dope.

Have you considered putting a Shell Smasher on there? I'll be honest, that's the first thing I would do with an Evoboost Baton Pass Eevee.

That could work! Minior or maybe Skill Link Cloyster would be great I think. I guess one of them could replace Toxapex (who I think is the weakest member of that team, even with Baton Pass boosting it).

To be fair, 3 perfect IVs is pretty believeable ona legit shiny considering that the two best ways to get them are chaining and breeding.

They don't pass down - it doesn't change the actual IV, just makes it "behave like" 31 for stat purposes. Also doesn't change Hidden Power type.

I'm about to start catching me some Ultra Beasts, I have my desired natures set as such:

Nihilego: Timid or Calm
Pheromosa: Naive / Rash (already have Naughty, Timid, Modest, Jolly)
Xurkitree: Modest / Timid
Celesteela: Sassy, Careful, Adamant, or Brave (already have Naughty, Impish, Modest, Bold)
Guzzlord: ???

As you can see I'm having a tough time on deciding between natures for Nihilego and on the preferred natures for Celesteela and Guzzlord. I plan to just catch doubles of the most desired natures for Pheromosa and I'll trade em for Jolly Buzzlewole and Adamant Kartana.
