Wow, I thought that was just an estimate, but you weren't kidding. Thanks!

6IV Ditto + 5IV Drampa x 150 eggs = decent chance at 6IV results. :v:

Thanks to you too!

Haha, I thought I was the only one who did this. Gotta get that 12 type STAB team!

12 type STAB team with 16 different type attacks. Gotta be prepared for almost everything (I had no Psychic or Ground moves).

quote:

The nice thing is, you can breed everything else onto it with the ball, so it's never useless. Breed one of those with a different-nature Ditto holding an Everstone and you'll only need one egg, if you don't have a Ditto with the right type just don't use Everstone and you'll find the right nature eventually and then you can breed from there. Same thing with abilities, natures and IVs.

Oh, I know. That part of my post mostly was a subtle attempt to get people to tell me what the best nature for a Fomantis is so I can start that breeding train :v:

With Contrary, probably Modest or Timid (gets Leaf Storm as an egg move, so its special attack would get boosted two stages).

Edit: quiet for trick room shenanigans??

Sorry I missed this earlier, but I should be around all day today. A heads up, though; I haven't really been breeding what I've caught, so anything like egg moves or good IVs might take me a while to get set up. Other than that, anything I've got is good to go.
I didn't see this post somehow. Yes, I want what you have that I don't:

Caterpie
Cottonee
Pikipek
Rattata
Rockruff
Rufflet
Snubbull
Spinarak
Turtonator

I can toss you nine Beast Ball mons you don't have in return if there's nothing else you specifically want - I haven't started any real competitive breeding yet but you can get a pretty good Honedge, Mareanie, and/or Beldum off me.

Ah, thanks for the info. It came with Contrary and it has Leaf Storm so whoever wonder-traded this knew what they were doing. I shall gladly support their effort (I'd give a shout-out with the name here if it wasn't a random bunch of Japanese letter to me).

Unfortunately, that's pretty much the limit of what it can do. It's pretty much just a hugely worse version of Serperior. Less bulk, way less speed, in exchange for a slightly higher special attack stat.

If I had to guess, I'd say Z-Conversion might be doing something favorable that no other 'mon can do? That's all I got.

Z conversion boosts all stats as well as giving it STAB on a better type than Normal. Say, Thunderbolt, which you could then also boost with Tapu Koko and furthermore gently caress phone autocorrect.

Have we really hit Trick Room meta? Pory2 is an excellent setter while also being immortal so I guess that makes sense.

I also knew about Z-Conversion's crazy stat boosts and type swapping (you know, the actual point behind Conversion??) but hadn't even considered the synchronicity with Terrains :eyepop:

Super bulky in using an item nobody else uses. Immune to one of the most prominent attacking types (Ghost), only weak to one of the least prominent attacking types, Fighting, because it's weak to Fairy. Tons of utility and just all around good. Also gets Recover.

I always try to mark the one I'm going for the next day in yellow on the spreadsheet for this reason. Just caught a Rhyhorn, going for Conkeldurr tomorrow.

Yeah, I don't know how many people are actually using yellow, but I do try to avoid the yellow ones in favor of the totally unmarked ones.

I don't understand why Jessie's Mimikyu is continually immune to Pikachu's Iron Tail, it should be super-effective against it given that it's a Fairy. The attack just passes right through it for some reason, over multiple episodes now. This kind of thing would be commonplace in the earliest seasons, but they've steadfastily kept true to the type chart in the last few seasons so it's pretty weird.

I mean, I've only seen it happen once, but that one time it was the first attack. So presumably it was stopped by Disguise.
