Geostomp posted:Sweet Pokeballs, it's become a world breaker. Nothing short of Arceus going mega could stop that monster. He's still slower than Deoxys-A, N and S and doesn't hit as hard as they do because they can actually use items. I don't think Mega evolutions are going to be as scary as people think. Mega Alakazam, for instance, is almost certainly not going to be as good as Magic Guard Alakazam with a Life Orb etc. Tons of regular pokemon are still going to curbstomp them, if only because they can use things like Choice items (which are a bigger boost than any Mega form we know of bar Mawile).

Sprite141 posted:Does anyone know if you can get X exclusive pokemon's megastones in Y and vise versa? Because then getting all the megas would be a huuuuge pain. Aggron and Tyranitar's are for sure in the opposite version that they appear in. And while you can trade the stones, I'm pretty sure you only get one per file.

You go with the fake Mew's Truck instead of the actual 'This pokemon can only be found rarely in four randomized tiles of water' or 'Have a party that starts with a Wailord and ends with a Relincanth to open this rock'?

There's an Old Amber in one of the rocks right in the final area. The Old Amber is a random drop from the rocks. I had to leave and re-enter that room a half dozen times to get one.

Emalde posted:Holy poo poo, what is the secret to winning at any Super Training using Skrelp? Auto machine gun might be the most obnoxious and impossibly difficult pokemon trait to deal with. Don't try to charge, hit all the white targets before they disappear twice and one of the red ones that doesn't immediately disappear will show up. Blast away at that with your machine gun and you should be able to win. Well, as long as you don't want to train Special Defense. That's some bullshit.

Help Im Alive posted:It's cool but you might want to turn it off eventually. Admittedly I've been progressing very slowly because I'm catching everything before moving on, but I'm way overlevelled. I just beat the 3rd gym and my six Pokemon were all late 30's/early 40's. (The gym leader was using level 28 Pokemon) Yeah, its basically Easy Mode from White 2. Turning it off still lets you get more than enough EXP to keep a team of 6 up with the gym leaders and such and makes the game more fun for me because I'm not steamrolling everything.

HalfHazard posted:Is doing Super Training really worth it if I think this mini game, well, sucks a whole lot? If the games don't get much better past the level 3 stuff, I'll probably just stick to the regular ol' grinding, or the lower levels at least. Level 3 is the highest till you max out your EVs. Past that you get harder games that give you stones and things.

A Renaissance Nerd posted:Is there any downside to keeping the EXP Share turned on? It feels like I'm cheating, all of my 'Mons are leveling at the same rate and it's fantastic but I know there's got to be a downside. It makes the game a lot easier? And spreads around EVs you might not want I guess. Honestly, it basically serves the same function as the Easy Key from White 2.

Storyline pokemon don't have any EVs or IVs remember. And it has crap for coverage, and when in Sword Forme its defenses are like paper. Its pretty cool, but its not like Scizor or something.

Nakar posted:There's sure to be more of them when Z comes out and then still more over time. I'd agree some (like Pinsir/Heracross) probably don't need to be postgame, but stuff like Mewtwo and Scizor probably do. Its still weaker than a regular Scizor holding a Life Orb to be fair. I think a lot of Mega Evos are going to be less used than their base forms with a few obvious exceptions ie. Mawhile, Abomasnow, Aggron, Gengar, Charizard X/Y and Ampharos. Like, I have no idea why you would use Mega Alakazam over Magic Guard Alakazam with Life Orb or Focus Sash. Ditto Mega Tyranitar, Scizor, Heracross etc. Hell Mega Blastoise managed to get one of the only abilities that's a step down from Torrent considering the only pulse move it learns is water pulse and its only jacked up to the level of Surf.

Dastardly posted:Who the gently caress gave some mons a goddamn useless machine gun ball attack in super training. It's so incredibly bad I can't even put it in words. The machine gun attack makes super training super easy. Just nail all the white goals, don't try fro charged shots, and unload when the red goal pops up. Its just a little disorienting to get useful. Once you have about 100 EVs though you can clear level 3 training in 20ish seconds. Literally all of my best time records are from machine gun mons.
