Its incredibly satisfying having every item that lets you get the perfect math and doing a long rear end chain knowing its gonna give you some epicly powerful mons. Got half of my team now, 3 more to chain and then its time to level em up and Ill be ready for the tournament that will never happen.

I will fight you one on one. Also I suggest breeding with rather than trying to use the chained 'mon right away, but you seem to be chaining with kadabra and actually getting good natures

Bug types are so badass. the only thing I may change is that I would swap bewear for lucario but catching riolus pisses me off because they just immediately use final gambit and kill thesmelves and they're pretty rare in the first place

if youre looking for a specific nature, you could breed up a female riolu, then find a male with the nature youw ant in the same egg group and breed them with an everstone. its a little clunky but its easier than synchronizing super rare mons

you're gonna want one if you fight a fairy team like myself lol.

E: no tapu allowed yeah? that would be OP for me

Another thing, if doing legit breeding it's extremely hard to get a good Hidden Power most of the time. Those of us with access to save editors would be at an advantage, so maybe ban that too?

e: team building without hidden power is torture. you're basically hosed against a counter team. I rescind this

Also Im around the evening now with my Fighting team if anyone wants to 1v1 me. I may also start breeding just a regular ole team for funsies because I have all the parts and a box of 20 abras with every nature.

Ive bred a lot of stuff for this if anyone wants some of it. I've got jolly rough skin gibles, adamant dragon dance bagon, ice punch stufful, bold regenerator mareanie, adamant marvel scale dratini... a couple other things but that's the really good poo poo. Breeding in this game in very fast and easy which is a nice improvement

Dragonite @ Lum Berry
abil: multiscale
Jolly, 252 atk/252 speed/4 hp
- Fire Punch
- Earthquake
- Outrage
- Dragon dance

Tapu fini @ Leftovers
abil: misty surge
Bold, 252 hp/252 def/4 sp def
- Calm Mind
- Moonblast
- Surf
- Taunt

Aegislash @ Weakness Policy
abil: stance change
Quiet, 252 hp/252 sp attack/4 def
- Shadow Ball
- Shadow Sneak
- King's shield
- Flash Cannon

this team covers each others weaknesses really well. dragonite can smash through most teams on its own after a dragon dance and doesnt really have trouble setting up on most things. the trainers in the battle tree often use lead pokemon that do well against yours, like ice and fairy types if youre using dragonite. aegislash and tapu fini can easily switch in on these things though. you can still lose to unlucky bullshit but otherwise this is really solid

this is such horseshit lol. i might try that idea some day, not the exact same thing, but something nice and tough that knows dragon dance would be a great way to roll most teams

It owned, and I love that she does that and then attacks you with ordinary Pokemon. The best part is that now, for all future games, the Pokemon world is one with an alternate dimension full of awesome monsters that humans can apparently merge with.
