Araxxor posted:The only things that are illegal on surprise trade are actually illegal mons that trip the hack checker due to illegal moves or stats or whatever, and anything with a special ribbon (which are event exclusive.) Or anything holding a special item that the game doesn't want you to trade. this gen* also forbids you from surprise trading anything in your party, which is particularly annoying when i'm on the breeding train and want to send these extra toxels out into the trading void NOW please  *ofc i might be misremembering the last two gens letting you do this, i can't actually remember if wonder trade even let you look at your party or if it was boxed mons only, but either way, it's still mildly irritating!

Since X/Y when they introduced (to me) the ease of breeding goodly IVed Pokemon I have never attained a perfect one. Until now. I hatched a 6 Best IV Skorupi using a 5 IV Ditto that got Secret Traded to me by a stranger.

Same, I've never done any breeding in pokemon before and got two 6 IV eevee's with wish after a full sunday of hatching eggs. Had to use two 4 IV dittos to get there, but wasnt even expecting the first one. Not so lucky with the other species hatches but at least it took less time to get the ones I wanted.

I'm on loving day 5 of shiny ralts hunting after I randomly got a shiny eevee and I've learned my loving lesson, I'm never doing this poo poo again. And I'm miserable doing this but I've already wasted so much time I have to throw good time after bad. If it makes you feel better Indeedee defeated me and made me walk away from my grind for now. Those eggs take forever to hatch even with flame body and that daycare has to be filled with dumpsters upon dumpsters of them at this point.

Epic High Five posted:yep, gonna be going for a shiny Obstagoon it looks like Nah, as long as the parents are from two different regions it works. Doesn't matter which regions- as long as the tag is different when you examine them. That said I really don't get the love for Shiny Obstagoon personally. I like Zigzagoon, and Linoone is kind of boring but fine, but that teal with the red/pink is just way too eye searing to me. Probably doesn't help that Obstagoons proportions look really hosed up to me anyway.

If I was so inclined, how would I go about grinding for shinys? Also, I've caught a few of the gmax Snorlax, how do I tell just how special they are? The stats seem pretty good.

Big McHuge posted:If I was so inclined, how would I go about grinding for shinys? Complete your pokedex for the shiny charm, then it's just whichever method do you think will keep you the most sane Masuda Method - You get a foreign pokemon and breed it with one from your language. This makes shiny pokemon a lot more likely- something like 1/516 chance Hunting - You just get a sick kill count on that pokemon. Each corpse you make the chance rises a little bit higher for the next mon of the same species to be shiny. With the cap to give you the best chance being 500 dead bodies. It's a very long and boring thing to do so keep that in mind if you try it. I just do it because I have nothing better to do some days and have a backlog of videos to watch so why not.

Big McHuge posted:If I was so inclined, how would I go about grinding for shinys? The base chance of a pokemon to be shiny is 1/4096. Typically you grind for shinies by breeding them-- you have two ways to increase your chance of a shiny from the base rate. One is to obtain the shiny charm by completing the pokedex, then talking to a guy in the Circhester hotel. The other is to breed the pokemon using parents from two different languages (Masuda method). With just the shiny charm your chance will be 3/4096. With just Masuda method, it'll be 6/4096. And with both, it will be 8/4096. Do not grind for shinies unless you have both; it's possible but these bonuses are huge. The easiest way to use the Masuda method is to get a foreign language ditto since you can breed it with any breedable species. Generally when breeding for shinies you'll also want to breed for the correct ability, nature, and IVs-- this is why people try to get a good ditto from a 5* raid that they could trade for a Japanese ditto. Don't grind for shinies.

Mesadoram posted:Unless you have a nice long podcast and TV series to watch while you do it. That's fair, and I know some people do enjoy it, but the chances are absolutely horrible with the best case of about 0.2% per egg and I don't want anyone to start without being aware of that! My actual recommendation is to just start breeding competitive versions of your favorite pokemon using a foreign ditto parent, unless there is only one shiny you must have (to be fair shiny obstagoon is rad). That way you'll eventually get a shiny of something you like, but you'll get a variety of good pokemon in the meantime. Also, if you feel like replaying the game, and you can speak a second language, playing in that language on a second account is a great way to get stuff to use for the Masuda method. You'd just need someone to help you trade with yourself (and Nintendo Online access for both accounts if your helper isn't local-- I use a family plan anyway so that isn't an issue).

Sending out all of the failed eggs on Surprise Trade is fun (Goomy for all) but not worth the time wasted getting nothing. I don't like Grookey's all that much but I like Raboot and Cinderace, and Inteleons looks better in motion. I kinda like it.

Sending out all of the failed eggs on Surprise Trade is fun (Goomy for all) but not worth the time wasted getting nothing. Wonder trade is fun but it's also even more time spent. If I could just queue up mass wonder trades and didn't have to watch the slow rear end animation or mass a like five times whenever I set up a new one I'd do it more but wonder trading fell by the wayside for me. Also because for me it turned into a "can I get something in a moon ball if no release it"

i usually hatch eggs while im on my commute (half-an-hour each way) and so far the shinies ive hatched are three HA mawiles, a feebas and a mimikyu. i dont use a foreign ditto, some dude in china or japan would surprise trade me a 5IV something or the other that i can use instead (JPN eevee with my mawile, CHT dreepy with my feebas and mimikyu). though im having trouble with my HA hatenna, she doesnt seem to play nice with anyone... anyways does anybody have a srappy breedject farfetchd they can send my way, i want a gold duck knight

Zuzie posted:Probably not Froslass or Milcrey and Alcremie because those are also female only while Falinks is genderless. edit: if the message is something like "They don't seem to like each other very much, though." that still produces eggs! The one to watch out for is along the lines of "they prefer to play with other Pokemon rather than with each other" if you're not using a ditto for some reason.

I didn't know Flame Orbs were in such high demand, I've just been selling the extras I get. Once my NN is up and running again I'll happily trade the extra I'm currently holding for something fashionable. When are they gonna bring back the Safari Ball ala Beast Ball and Dream Ball, and what might its new effect be?

Beachcomber posted:I hate hate hate this catch level cap. It's asinine. I'd rather they drop the max level of the Wild Area, or just gate some spots, than have high level stuff you can't catch. I took that goddamn level 34 Pangoro to 1hp and paralyzed using a team of level 16-17 mons all for nothing because of it. It's not like they try to make the story challenging so why do they care if I want to spent a dozen hours in the Wild Area catching my way up to level 60 mons before the first gym.

Decided to do a fire-themed team for the new game and run nothing but new 'mons! Without looking at the list first, of course. Well that was a drat mistake. Guess there aren't many new ones. Cinderace, Centiskorch, and Coalossal are it for awhile. I've rounded out the team in the early game with Arcanine and Salazzle. I may eventually snag a Rotom. I guess I could use Flareon, or an off-type that uses Fire moves.
