Uhh... guys, I have some issues with trading Larvitar...

I got a Japanese DBHA Larvitar from the GTS. I bred it and tried to trade the offspring with a friend. Got a message "there seems to be a problem with your pokemon" when attempted to trade. When I put it into the GTS, it went up just fine, but my friend can't seem to find it. When I tried to WT, it showed the same problem message. Next, I bred it with a Safari one (also got from GTS), then tried to WT the offsprings with Safari Ball, but the same message appeared. I can't trade them at all, both balls, HA or not. I dunno what the gently caress is wrong with my Larvitar.

Anyone with same issues ? Is this the same problem with trading HA Island Scan mons before it was fixed ?

after the massive sales drop from d/p to platnium i'm surprised they even tried with b2/w2

which is a shame since if i ignore my nostalgia for yellow those were the best third versions to me

Oh, I absolutely agree! B2 and W2 were the pinnacle of the third version, absolutely what the third version should be! Only knock against it is I didn't like the design of the female protagonist as much as the one in B/W, but that's more because those games had the best drat design for the female trainer ever. Hard to top that.

Ugh. I had the same problem with trading HA Friend Ball Shroomishes the day after Bank updated. I thought they fixed that poo poo! Not much you can do, sadly, except wait for them to fix it.

Disappointing that it trips for Safari Ball Larvitar, too. I specifically went for one of those for Fashion Ball purposes, but hadn't gotten around to breeding them yet. I am sorry that GameFreak's wonky hack detection is preventing you from sharing your fashionable friends. :(

Looking at those numbers, I can see why they don't do third versions anymore. It's a pity, though.

I agree, my best memories with Pokemon games as I grew was always the third version. Emerald and Platinum blew me away when they released

An online competition that you sign up for through Festival Plaza. It's not live yet. Relax.

"Registration for the 2017 International Challenge February begins February 16, 2017, at 0:00 UTC. The competition goes from Friday, February 24, at 00:00 UTC, until Sunday, February 26, 2017, at 23:59 UTC. Trainers will be limited to 15 battles per day."

I realized with the next online competition being a weird format (3v3 doubles), it'd be the perfect time to try out a weird gimmick team I blatantly stole from someone who posted it awhile back!

Oricorio (Pom-Pom forme), Timid, Dancer @???
252 HP/34Def/224 Spe

Revelation Dance
Air Slash
HP Ice/Tailwind/Helping Hand/Roost
Protect

Lilligant, Timid, Own Tempo @Leftovers
4HP/252 Sp. Atk/252 Spe

Petal Dance
Quiver Dance
Sleep Powder
Synthesis

Team Dancing Queens! Only issue is I don't know a good third to round out their ensemble. Volcarona would be the obvious choice, but the contest rules say Alolan Dex only, so nuts to that idea. If it let's me double up on things I could use two dancing birbs, but I don't know if that would be too much dancing for one team to handle?

Also don't know what a good held item would be for my Pom-Pom friend.

Suggestions welcome! I don't care about winning with this team, I just want to battle enough to get my Megastones and have fun along the way.

Give the Leftovers to the pom-pom bird and a Life Orb to Lilligant. A Lilligant without investment in HP or Defense isn't surviving a physical super-effective attack, of which there are many. Don't know about the third member, but I guess you could use a Torkoal with Drought, and claim it's their disco ball. :v:

It sure seems so! Deposit a Magnemite and ask for one in return to join the club.

Edit: But don't be too quick to take back your Pokemon assuming it was traded. Just now I must have taken a Magnemite back while it was still being traded because I got hit by an error and a temporary trading ban :(

While I'm here, reminder I have almost an entire box of HA Shroomishes in Friend Balls to give away. They all have 4 31IVs, minimum and the moves Seed Bomb, Bullet Seed, Worry Seed, and Spore. Perfect for being your Pokemon catching friend, or ya know Breloom isn't any slouch in competitive battling either. Just saying.

I'm after Patrat, Panpour, or Inkay with their HA or any Beast Ball things I'm missing. (Check the spreadsheet.) Other than that, trade me whatever. I especially like things with goofy nicknames and Eggs.

Usually when I get a level 100 shiny pokemon via wonder trade, I assume it's hacked. But in this case, I think someone straight up sent it off by accident (level 100 shiny Flareon that was hatched in the Paniola nursery). Had a Choice Band attached too. If it is hacked, they did a real careful job with it.

It's called ridiculous easy access to 3DS homebrew, opening up PKSM and then editing Pokemon in your Box so easily that the game doesn't think it's hacked in the slightest. And yes, you can clone, endlessly.
