No idea! Given that I've just restarted breeding of them to include egg moves (got curse yawn and wish, not sure what to use as 4th egg move if anything) so I might wait until I've finished breeding them all up to see if I get any other shines out of it So glad I went to the effort of getting the shiny charm

For what it's worth, that would make an okay Sylveon. Modest with 0 Atk is good, and Sylveon doesn't care about Speed that much. Vaporeon would do fine too. For a 4th egg move, consider Stored Power.

I hadn't considered stored power, I was going to make a 2nd full set of them all with baton pass/volt switch/that other move that keeps stats. Stored power could be amazing on that. Z power move eevee then pass into Espeon and wreck the world. I also had totally forgotten about bottle caps, I could totally put one on that shiny and make it basically perfect.

Baton Pass gives whatever boosts you already have to the Pokémon you bring in, but U-Turn and Volt Switch don't—they're basically like switching normally, just after your attack.

Can someone spare an extra Castform?

Managed to get a streak of 50 in the Super Doubles Battle Tree, and this was my team for that.code:So I went with a far more reliable Trick Room Team instead. Doubles is significantly easier than singles, since you don't have to play nearly as defensively (In fact, that's pretty much suicide.) Set up sweepers aren't that great, since the AI can gang up on the Pokemon that's trying to do that in the first place. So you really want Pokemon that can do something straight out of the gate. Oranguru is pretty much my key support. Sets up Trick Room, and then goes crazy with Instruct, which is utterly busted in the Battle Tree. If something is confused or asleep, Instruct accelerates the turn counters on those, making them wear off a lot faster. Also if the Pokemon its Instructing is paralyzed, they essentially get another attempt to do it again. Oranguru originally had Telepathy as its ability, and was carrying a Mental Herb instead, but I used an Ability Capsule to switch it to Inner Focus, and gave it a Lum Berry because I really wanted it to get off Trick Room. And there aren't as many Taunt users as there are Pokemon that can inflict statuses. Also the only spread move I had that could damage it was Earthquake. Psychic is just really there to ensure Oranguru can do something if it gets Taunted. Oh and if Oranguru manages to get taken out without Trick Room going up, it's honestly not that big of an issue for me. The thing about Trick Room teams is that you don't have to invest all those EVs into speed, and can focus on defenses instead. So even without Trick Room up, it's pretty hard for the opponent to take out my team easily thanks to their bulk investment. In fact, just think of Trick Room as giving slower Pokemon a massive increase to their base speed stat. Protect is nice if I bring in my Mudsdale to use Earthquake, since mine doesn't have Telepathy. Drampa was the star player of my team, as I led with both it and Oranguru. STAB Hyper Voices coming off 135 base special attack hits pretty hard when combined with Instruct. And Instruct could let Drampa break Focus Sashes or Sturdy, so I didn't have to worry about those. Dragon Pulse was the other STAB move for it, if I really wanted to focus something down. Shadow Ball was just really there for coverage so Drampa wouldn't be walled by Ghost and Steel types. A good thing about using Instruct on spread moves is that if the spread move takes out one Pokemon, the next use of it won't suffer from the spread damage reduction, making it a lot more powerful. Drampa managed to wipe a lot of teams by itself that way. Berserk also gave it a really nice boost if it activated, and its bulk pretty much ensures it can survive hits for it to go off. Most of the time I Protect on the first turn so it can start yelling at the Pokemon to get off its lawn when Trick Room is up. Though I don't bother if I think they're going after my Oranguru instead, or if they have no way of taking out Drampa. Mudsdale was my physical attacker and provided some Ground coverage if I needed it. It also provided a nice switch in in case Drampa couldn't do anything relevant to the current set of Pokemon. Rock Slide only has 90 accuracy, but I feel more comfortable running it here since Doubles is significantly more lenient on what you can do. Also it can be combined with Instruct for severe flinchax shenanigans. The chances of hit not hitting at least one Pokemon is really slim in that case. (Literally a 1 in 10,000 chance.) Close Combat and Heavy Slam are really for coverage, and Heavy Slam hits 120 BP on the things that the other moves can't really do much to. Earthquake is a nice STAB spread move, and I don't have to worry about hitting my ally if Celesteela is on the field. If it's not, I usually have my ally use Protect. Celesteela is pretty much the glue for the team. It's really bulky, and can do a lot of things even if Trick Room isn't up. Which is really handy if Oranguru got taken out before it could set up Trick Room. Protect is nice if the AI thinks they see a free kill with a Fire or an Electric move. It makes for really good bait for those kinds of moves, letting my more powerful attackers get free turns. I have mine built as a special attacker, so it makes use of Flash Cannon and Flamethrower. Beast Boost also helps it snowball if it snags a few kills, so Celesteela pretty much turns into a massively bulky special attacker. Leech Seed is honestly just kind of there, and could probably be replaced with something better (Air Slash, maybe?) I barely used it all that much. Some battle videos: DCNW-WWWW-WWW4-6GM5 YF9G-WWWW-WWW4-6GCE if you want to see the AI being hilariously dumb. Araxxor fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Jan 6, 2017 |

Finally managed to get Xurkitree into a Luxury Ball. Overall an incredibly frustrating experience, not only because of the combination of Catch Rate 30, using a non-Beast ball and only having 5 Luxury Balls, but also because it can't be paralyzed due to the Electric typing, and it constantly keeps up Electric Terrain which prevents sleep. Just in case anyone else wants to attempt something like this, here's what I used: 1 dead Synchronize Abra (I wanted Timid, luckily I hit that 50%). 1 level 100 Palossand with Hypnosis (can be switched with another bulky Ground type with a sleep move, if any exist) 1 level 100 Decidueye with False Swipe (anything high level that resists Discharge and Power Whip and has False Swipe/Hold Back works here) 1 level 60 Tapu Bulu (could maybe be switched to Tapu Lele if you have one that's really high level, but Bulu is probably the best choice) 1 low level Absol with Pressure (anything with pressure that dies to Discharge works here, even better would be if you had a Spite user which could live a few hits and/or outspeed Xurkitree, but that's a lot harder to find) First, send out the Palossand. Whenever Xurkitree can't KO something and Electric Terrain isn't up, it will use it, so the first thing you do is switch into Absol so it loses 2 PP. It will then try to kill Absol with Discharge, so switch back to Palossand. Now it'll try damaging that with Power Whip, so you get a safe switch-in for Tapu Bulu, who sets up Grassy Terrain. As long as Tapu Bulu is at around 65-70% HP or more, Xurkitree will go for Electric Terrain over Discharge, so you switch in Absol again. Rinse and repeat the Absol - Palossand - Tapu Bulu pattern while keeping track of the Electric Terrain PP (it's only got 10). After some time your Bulu will get below the threshold where Xurkitree will try to kill it with discharge, so you will need to switch over to Palossand one extra round to restore HP to Bulu. Don't worry, Palossand should be able to eat a few Power Whips. When the Electric Terrain PP finally runs out, switch to Decidueye and get it down to 1 HP (hopefully you didn't screw up at any point and give it Beast Boosts, those will make this step more annoying), then finally switch back to Palossand to start the Hypnosis duel and chuck balls whenever it's sleeping.

I used a Leftovers Parasect with Spore, Swords Dance, Leech Life, False Swipe, and those Sp. Def raising items you can buy. Give it Dry Skin and it completely shuts down Tapu Fini for anyone struggling. UB-Hunter is a good friend.

The annoying part about Tapu Fini is Aqua Ring though, so if you wanted to really optimize you'd probably want something with Heal Block or some Imprison Smeargle shenanigans or something.

I did it without anything to negate the Aqua Ring but it took a lot of Spores, False Swipes, potions, Leppa Berries and... 28 Dive Balls. Both times, because while the Synchronize Abra did its work the IVs was the opposite of what you would want.

No however after rechecking my eevee I think some sleepy night I've reorganised them in to something that made sense at the time, just found an entire box of run away eevee. So there's that. *shrugs* On a good note one of the many random eevee I got from the gts had stored power already so that should make it nice and easy to bring over as the final egg move. I also got an eevee in a beast ball which I'm tempted to breed over.
