Honedge is a rare spawn really early on, think I caught it outside the palace, when you get blocked by snorlax.

There's a limit on how many EVs total you can get (504? Something around there)

Assuming no changes to the system, you can have up to 255 EVs in an individual stat and 510 EVs in total. Of course, since 255 isn't evenly divisible by 4 and the game rounds fractions down, if you're really going for an optimal build there's no reason to put more than 252 into a stat.

I hatched the lil goomster, and as far as I can tell she's great. Modest, with hydration as its ability. They're primarily attackers, right? Even if they aren't, I'll always love her. She's going to be my starter, basically.


edit: Oh my god I'm rubbing her tummy and feeding her big pieces of cake and this is everything I've ever wanted. It's all downhill from here.

Goomy are Special Walls with emphasis on Special Attack if I remember correctly. Basically they're little blobs who have attack bounce off them.

Glad you guys are getting along. It's probably a good thing I sent you an egg, I can't resist naming the little fellas Goony (or Goondra). :3:

Route 6, and only Route 6. They're rare though, and no trainers use them. I had to use the Pokédex in the previous Op to figure out where they are (Pokémon in the Kalos dex are grouped by the routes you find them on).

If I want to play Pokemon, what console and game should I get? I've never played Pokemon before and I want to snatch back the childhood I never had.

That's easy. Any kind of 3DS (try for an XL, they didn't exist when I bought one) and either Pokemon X or Y. Get on the ground floor while everything is new.

He's not rare, Kecleon is much rarer in that area. Even Espurr didn't show up as commonly as Honedge for me.

Quick question: any special method to evolving Spritzee (do a 3 hour waltz while under the influence of LSD while holding the DS at a 34 degree angle) or is it just level based?

Woah I didn't even know that guy spawns that early. I've been surprised just by how many different pokemon have been spawning.

The Reflecting Cave, a little bit after the second gym. Dunno how rare they are, you get Flash in that cave and I used it to drop the encounter rate (Flash is actually surprisingly handy early on when you can't afford 200+ Repels).

Wonder Trade is so much fun, I'm barely making any progress in the game because I just keep Wonder Trading. I've got a bunch of Japanese Pokemon now and I was wondering, how do their names work when they evolve? Do they change to the Japanese version of their evolution's name, or do they just keep the name they had when I got them?

So far I got mega: gengar, Blaziken, Venasaur and Lucario. Gengar was the only one that wasn't automatic, had to talk to an NPC outside gym 6. Then you can just trade a haunter for a haunter on GTS and you'll get a gengar pretty much instantly.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

On the one hand, before the first gym you can find Zigzagoon, Bidoof, Dunsparce, the bunny that's this game's Gen 6 normal-type vermin pokemon, three different birds, and at least three different Caterpie-type bugs.

On the other hand holy gently caress I actually get a choice! This is awesome!

Picked this up and have been playing with it, having an absolute blast. So much fun doing what is basically bugger all. For some reason Pikachu absolutely did not want to spawn for me in the forest, I ended up grinding Charles my Fennekin to level 14 before one decided to appear. Luckily it had a Light Ball and I didn't KO it. It would have been boring, except I keep Wonder Trading and it's stupid amounts of fun, even if I am polluting the pool with lousy beginning area pokémon. I do given them all clever names though, so if any of those Japanese players know English puns, they should get a kick out of them.

Is there some method I can go about trading with goons or getting some goons on my friends list or is it as restrictive about that stuff as earlier versions?

You add people to your 3DS friend list, and the pop up in "friends" if you connect to the internet while playing at the same time. Then you can battle and trade all you want.

Catch the next one you see regardless. Its ability (static) attracts other electric pokemon and you find hundreds of them that way
