I'm confused. Bulbapedia claims Receiver can't copy Wonder Guard. Even if it can, opponent can use a Psychic or Flying or Fairy move.

How would hey catch that? I have never used a save editor, but I have Pokémon that I suspect are hacked that I got through wondertrade. (Like a shiny entei in a master ball).

Generally anything that can cause a discrepancy between your Global Link uploaded save and the one you upload the next time you use Global Link. Changing your trainer ID/sex/name, having items that there are no way to actually get at all in the current games like event-only items/certain megastones, adding BP without some logical event giving it to you (apparently), having shiny entries of shiny-locked pokemon in your pokedex (also apparently. possibly other pokedex edits), etc.

I doubt they'd ban you for the Entei since they would have a log of the trade and know you weren't the one that generated it.

Don't know if they were checking for this kind of stuff before a certain date though. I haven't been banned for accidentally activating the Megearna event while resetting my event Munchlax's level back to 5 long before it was actually possible in the US.

It's just a Global Link ID ban as well. You can unban it either by starting a new game, or setting your Global Link ID to a blank one with further save editing to unban yourself. As well the ban only applies to Game Sync, global missions, rating battles, etc.

I don't have low self-esteem. I have low esteem for everyone else.
I still can't quite figure out how to get Zygarde's other forms asides rom his default snake form from X/Y. I found a bunch of the cells from all the islands (to the point where I'm not immediately finding any others while running around, though I can't imagine I got all 100 yet) but the Aether labs only gave me the regular Zygarde, I want to figure out how to get the dog and mecha forms too.

If you have more than 9 but less than 50 cells in the Zygarde Cube it will generate dog/10%. If you have 50 or more (but not 100) it will generate slug/50%. If you have 100 cells it will generate a Zygarde with the Power Construct ability. This can change between the 10% and 50% formes by using the Cube on it. It will only change to 100% if it's ability triggers in battle (it's not a permanent form).

Keep in mind that a Zygarde with Power Construct can no longer be broken down into cells. So be sure to save before constructing one if you care about IVs (like gift Pokemon it works with Synchronize Pokemon for a guaranteed nature).

Edit: Using the Cube will also tell you how much cells you currently have in the cube and how many you've collected in Sun/Moon. That's useful if you've obtained Zygardes by trading.

So I'm breeding a trick room team. Can I use a synch Abra to set the natures? I kind of need destiny knot and the power item to guarantee 5IVs one of which is zero speed.

There isn't a thread yet. If it ever becomes playable then maybe people will want to talk about it, but right now 90% of time spent in the game is "connecting..." for me.

Not to my knowledge, but I think you'd have better luck using an Everstone and waiting for the IVs to line up right than waiting to roll the right nature.

edit: what are you trying to breed anyway? I should have a pretty good ferroseed buried in ORAS somewhere.

Synchronise does not work for eggs.

Use the power item to guarantee zero speed, everstone to guarantee nature. Wait till you get 3 or 4 IVs and just accept that you'll need to hyper train for the rest.

Has anyone confirmed that the Mew Z crystal is/isn't available if you restart your file without picking it up at the Pokemon Center? It's stupid, I'll never use the drat thing other than once just to check out its animation, but god forbid I miss out on getting it.

I don't have a perfect trick room Ditto so I'm not even sure what the odds of getting a zero speed IV randomly are, 1 in 25 for the nature would beat 1 in 31 for the IV roll though.

Edit: Hammerite has the answer.

I didn't bother trying Battle Royal until now and good lord is it some bull poo poo.

My Max IV, Max EV Adamant Infernape using a Iron Fist boosted Thunder Punch could not even do 1/3rd of an opposing Vaporeon, which had no hold item that would affect it, had no ability holding it back, and having Infernape be the first move of the turn.

Like it has all the normal bullshit you'd expect from a battle facility, but i'm not sure how it's calculating things to so heavily gently caress me over like this case.

I bred an Alolan Muk with shadow sneak, minimize, gunk shot, and knock off. Gave it leftovers and it got me the Rattle Royal achievement all by itself. Minimize first 2-3 turns, gunk shot anything you can 1HKO, and a priority move to steal kills. If you don't lose a pokemon and knock out 1-2 you usually win the battle.

Once you have a parent with 0 speed, getting a 4 IV + 0 speed baby is the same chance as getting a 5 IV baby, so I don't really see why the process would be any different?

Yes, I suppose so. I guess now that Hyper Training is a thing I don't see the point of breeding for a full complement of IVs when you could just get 5 out of 6 and then fix up the last one later. Of course, you can't hyper train the zero, so in a way that's more important (but not that much more important if you're going to hatch a bunch of eggs anyway).

In fairness grinding to level 100 is kind of a pain in the rear end. Whether it's more or less of a pain in the rear end than the breeding is something you must decide for yourself. :v:

This is actually the first generation where I've decided to go full on perfect breed mode. I did a bit in Gen 5 and thought I did a decent job. After transferring all of my "top stars" from gens 4 - 6 to Sun, I finally noticed how poo poo my guys really were. :(

At least their kids will proudly take take on the mantle of rear end-whoppers. Though iit sucks for the couple who had movesets based around tutored moves that can't be bred. (Choice Trick Magic Bounce Espeon :argh: )
