Been working on building up a living dex in Y and OR lately in preparation for January. Had a Gligar and Sneasel in the bank on Y, so I spent 96 BP on the Razor Claw and Fang, gave them the items to hold... and then sent them both to Pokebank to withdraw in OR since I do all my leveling there. I can still afford another pair, but still, FML.

Welp, just got a perfect 6IV shiny Mareani in a beast ball through wonder trade.

Be careful about spelling while asking for Pokemon that aren't in your dex. I just wasted a couple hours waiting for someone to trade me a "Pheramosa." Also, I had good luck with trading a couple Goomy for Castform and Mareanie after having very bad luck attempting to catch either.

If you have a destiny knot you get 5 IVs from both parents. So the better IVs both parents have the better the destiny knot does.

I'm a total breeding scrub but as far as I can tell the strategy is to get a mon with the nature you want and put an everstone on it, then when you get a child with better IVs you replace whichever non-ditto parent you're using.

Sky Shadowing posted:... oh god, does this mean what I think it means? Incest is what you do if you don't have a 6IV ditto; you just keep breeding together your two best opposite-sex mon together with an everstone and a destiny knot, and whenever you get a child that's better than the parent with the same sex you replace it.

I still end up doing lots of pokeincest with a 6IV Ditto. Your chances of getting the a 5IV mon double for every perfect IV the non-Ditto parent has, and I typically go 1-2 generations before I get a 4IV mon that will eventually produce a 5IV one. Basically, competitive pokemon are like European royalty, so the CK2 comparison is apt.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7vgc2017-504981675 Turn 4 in this made me wonder if there's a replay where 4 pokemon manage to get killed by one move in a doubles battle. Excluding perish song, obviously.

basically the pokemon main game is all about finding the pokemon that's your best friend and forging an unbreakable bond while the post-game is all about marching those pokemon into the slave mines or into the Ditto Incest Pit.

I'm confused, why did the Landorus keep using Stealth Rock after the Encore ended? fake edit: oh right, the choice scarf that got Tricked onto it. And Shadow Tag stops them escaping. Haha, clever.

Merry Shitscram, fellow Pokenerds! For Christmas I am sending off a bunch of randomly bred Mimikyu in Luxury Balls for kids who got the game today. And holy poo poo did they make the Wondertrade annoying to get to. Just...just let me do multiple wonder trades.

2 boxes of Mareanie ready to go out to kids who got the game today. Merry Christmas.

I bred up a box of Eevees and sent them out holding evolution stones. One row was pre-evolved Leafeons because you don't find the Mossy Rock for awhile. I also sent out a level 12 Salamence. Seven of the Pokemon I got in return were from the first island in regular Pokeballs. EDIT: Just received a female Popplio. Time to spread some more Christmas cheer. tom bob-ombadil fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Dec 25, 2016 |

That is one reason why I sent out Phantumps today. What is better than a spooky grass ghost? A grass ghost that turns into a spooky tree! All those rookies get two Pokedex entries for the price of one.

I've been IV breeding Cutieflys, so I started naming all my babies things like Jingle, Noel and Sleigh Belle to send out on the Wonder trade. I finally got a Littlen through Wonder Trade last night! Adamant and 5 IV to boot!
