Mmm, why do I keep getting foreign pokemon in wondertrade? It's nice and all, but kinda weird. Like I have an entire box of japanese/italian pokemon.

Because lots of people from different countries play this game? :3:

It's great for masuda method breeding for shinies. My only regret is that if any non-latin-language user gives their pokemon a cool nickname I will never know about it. :(

Isn't it better to just get one pokemon with a beast ball and breed it down using a breed chain?

Ball can only pass down maternally in different-species pairs, except with Ditto.

To be fair, I went over to the name rater afterwards because I realized that I should've named her It's Bayley.

quick breeding question, but Hidden Abilities pass on if the dad is a HA Ditto right?
Nope.

nah, Dex Completion and a lack of a more interesting ball to catch it in.
Well, nicely done anyway. If you start breeding those I'll hopefully have something beastly in return shortly.

I'm currently farming dex completion more than Beast Ball pokes, but a big one I'd want would be a Beastly Abra if you can manage that. Ideally Adamant/Modest with Synchro (to cover my major Synchro gaps), but I'm not that picky.

I don't believe the Ditto has any influence on the ability chosen - parent of the species has to have the hidden ability, but I could be wrong.
Dunno about the hidden ability, but if you breed a Mareanie with a ditto, there's an increased chance the eggs will have Limber instead of Merciless.

I genuinely don't know why people want Castforms so badly! Is there that large of a population that wants a living dex?

Me neither, it is magic. I guess you may as well trade anything for a Castform, since you can then breed it and get everything, but I'm not sure where it started in the first place.

The hour I spent failing to catch my own gives me an idea though

Does nature/gender matter when forcing Mimikyu into a Beast Ball? I can breed any nature/gender and maintain the Best Ball as long as I have a Ditto right?

Correct. Ditto parent means the other parent passes their ball down 100% of the time, and worst case you can just pop out babies with no support until you get the right nature and then Everstone.

Nah, if the Pokemon is male, The ability is chosen randomly if they don't have the HA. If they do, they have a 20% chance of passing the HA down compared to a female Pokemon's 80% chance of doing that.

Thanks. I'm not there yet, but I think I'm getting close. Probably in the next day or two.

I'm going to capture an Eevee with a BB first since it's easier to find and I can reset until I grab it with one ball. The other four will then go to Mimikyu. If I grab him in less I'll figure out a third mon to grab.

I'm so excited about this endgame.

Got 3 Beastly Adamant Synchronize Abras to spare (and 2 with Inner Focus), going online now. If you have a Modest or Impish Synchronize Abra I'm missing those.

EDIT: 6 EST is midnight for me and I have to get up early, but maybe! If not, I'm sure we can figure something out later.

If you play at particular times of day then the people in those countries will be more active on wonder trade.

I will take any Italian pokemon you don't want (I don't have anything good though)

SLEEP MOVE

I want one for capturing things. Specfically the Mimikyu in a Beast Ball

Why have both Thunder Wave and Spore?

Anyway, you just sketch the move, level up to get another sketch, and repeat.

People usually sit on them in case of a shiny Abra or a shiny suicidal pokemon so you can get them before they flee/explode.

Simplest way would be to get a Pokémon knowing any of these moves (Falsw Swipe and Thunder Wave are TMs, so that's simple), delete all the rest with the move deleter (Hau'oli Pokémon center), and park it in front of a Ditto to clone. Be sure your Smeargle has a Chesto/Lum berry for Spore.

usually you sketch spore

you can either carry a chesto berry and sketch when you get spored in a singles battle

or sketch a doubles partner who is using spore
