Pokemon X & Y (Post Launch)

[◇ Void ◇]

Off the side, I won against The Twelfth Doctor in Flame Drag's Tourney. The code is:  2V2G-WWWW-WWW6-PUJZ

 

It is perhaps the biggest clutch victory and comeback I have ever done. Thank you priority and traps...

 

Thats it, rub it in. At least your Hippowdon backfired. Guys, I would appreciate suggestions from this to improve my team.

 

As for those moves, I think we would have seen them much sooner if they could be bred onto other Pokemon. They'll be legendary signatures.

All I'm seeing is that you can probably OHKO Hoopa with a super effective physical move. It's double-weak to Ghost AND Dark types, so a Shadow Claw, Night Slash, Sucker Punch, Pursuit, or Knock Off could possibly have the chance to kill it.

They're both... kinda slow. Volcanion's stats seem pretty high otherwise, it's SpDEF is close to 100 and its typing leaves it only really vulnerable to Earth, Rock, and Electric, the latter of which will probably be the best way to take it out, since Rock and Earth generally have better physical attacks than special- besides like Ancientpower.

So basically, Hoopa's probably got the best chance of not being Uber.

Also Valcanion is a hadron collider, let that sink in for a second.

[EliminateHRN]

I'd go with Jolteon because it has better defensive stats, faster and a higher attacking stat to work off of (110 sp atk v. 90 on Raichu)

Granted, Raichu has more of a mixed movepool but its offensives are lacking.

 

Though given that you have a heavy weakness to Ground moves with that team (except Wartortle), you may want to change some things around to minimize that.

 

I never noticed the weakness to Ground so thank you for pointing that out. I do plan on picking up a Trevenant since I want to try him out. Or I might just go with an Abomasnow if I can find one, that one might be a better option for Ground pokemon.

 

I don't know, I don't really have a plan so I'll see what I can do with the team.

[~British Soul~]

 Both of those thousand moves are boss. Please let them be accessible by breedable pokemon.

What if they turned out to be signature moves for Zygarde?

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

It already has Land's Wrath (which is admittedly a nice move), but would be nice if they were.

Of course, its base 100 atk isn't really impressive compared to Garchomp and some other Pokes (perhaps the sequels will give it a new form with stronger stats to match Xerneas/Yveltal)

[Elijah~]

Should I go for Hippowdon or Donphan?

[~British Soul~]

Should I go for Hippowdon or Donphan?

If I had to choose, I'd go with Donphan tbh, has Sturdy and has access to Rapid Spin among other things.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

I'd take Donphan as well b/c of the above as well.

Hippowdon is good for setting up sandstorm if your team revolves around it (though if you need to set it, just use Tyranitar or something).

 

Depends on what you need the Pokemon to be doing on team, though.

[The Warden]

Guys, any of you notice that for whatever reason, Hold Hands is classed as a Special attack, and not as a Support attack?

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Yeah, it is weird that it's a special attack but does no damage.

For possible usage, maybe increasing damage done by Return or something; that's about all I can think of. (Or for the sake of happiness evolutions; we'll have to see it in action first)

[Tentacruel]

Are you sure?  Serebii says it's support. 

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Yeah, Serebii says support.

Whoever posted the info earlier must've made a mistake. Either that or they updated it after the post.

 

Regardless, it's still gimmicky (until we see what it actually does aside from what its description says it does)

[Agro]

Might just be a joke attack.

[Cin]

vla1ne I already have an offer, but if you can get on quicker I'll accept yours.

 

Edit: They pulled out. So ready when you are.

[vla1ne]

I'll leave my DS on for the next few hours near my dresser, if you're on any time soon I'll be ready.

on another note, my jolteon appears to now have pokerus again, does anybody know how this is that even possible?

[Cin]

Sorry only just saw your post (been watching YT videos)

I had reinfections back in Sapphire, but those Pokemon after the 2nd or 3rd time were immune

 

We really should post IGN.

 

Thanks btw. HA Bulbasaur was half of the value of stuff you gave. I feel like I ripped you off.

[ihop]

Should I go for Hippowdon or Donphan?

 

Hippowdon.

 

Donphan is awfully outclassed as a Spinner because of Excadrill so if you want a ground-type spinner it should always be Excadrill as it is far stronger than Donphan and actually forces things out frequently so it gets a free spin rather than semi-tanking (with or without sturdy) a hit so it can rapid spin once.

Otherwise, Hippowdon has far more special bulk, as well as more physical bulk due to it having more HP, as well as (most crucially) reliable recovery in Slack off.

 

Don't ever use Donphan if you have access to Excadrill/Hippowdon.

[vla1ne]

No problem, I can clone my friends houndoomite later, and I don't actually use clefairy. not to mention I plan on breeding my venasaur so that his grandchild may rule the world.

[Cin]

I can continue Y now, only Mega Pokemon will be Houndoom.

 

Seen the present for the Japan cup....an ability capsule.

In other news, I now have enough BP just from Bank for both Magmarizer and Electrilizer. If ever decide to use them.

[-Berserker-]

I am trying to breed a timid Sheer Force Nidoking, and I am having trouble getting it right. I am now breeding my 5IV femNidoran (-SpDef) with a 6IV male of the right egg group. The closest thing I have managed is 5IV Hustle male Nidoran (-HP) that I may end up using if I cannot pull a -ATK one.

If anyone wants a bunch of 4-5 IV Nidoran (male and female) in Dive Ball, Timid and of spanish-language origin, and some with it's hidden ability, I'll take about anything. I'll specially prefer pokemon with hidden abilities not found in XY, and pokemon in dream ball or apricorn balls (specially female).

I have a magikarp w/ Rattled, german adamant dratini marvel scale(hp spa speed) that know dragon dance and dragon pulse, adamant zubat w/ infiltrator, jolly iron fist chimchar, prankster sableye(quick ball), plus other stuff i can breed, just lemme know.

Still have Bank? If you do, I'd like female Skarmory, Donphan family or Tyranitar family in Heavy Ball.

 

Otherwise, I'll take the Dratini.

 

Right now I have only left female Nidoran with hidden ability.

I do. Id love the Hidden Ability Nidoran.

 

Gimme 10 mins to see if i can transfer them over(ive never made a non-pokeball poke).

Not sure if this has been done, but just to make everything easy for anyone trying to figure out how much time is needed to do the whole Lumiose Daycare breeding thing, I thought I'd put this together.

For those who don't know: You put your mon in the daycare, fly to Lumiose City tower square, get in the middle, get on a bike, put a piece of paper or coin under the circle pad to make your character move left or right, and leave your 3DS alone till the mon gets to Level 100.

1 lap around Lumiose central plaza is 144 steps. Approximately 6944.44 laps will get you to 1 million EXP, assuming you started from 0. 10 Laps on a bike were measured with a stopwatch and averaged to about 12.5 seconds per lap. So assuming you're starting from 0 EXP, to get to 1 million EXP, it would take a little over 24 hours. This won't change if the mon is Erratic or Fluctuating, because that only applies to the amount of EXP needed to increase any given level. We're just looking here at how to get from 0 EXP at Level 1 to the Max XP at Level 100.

SO! Let's apply this to all EXP growth groups!

From 0 to Max EXP:
Erratic: 14 Hours
Fast: 19.3 Hours
Medium Fast (1 mil): 24.1 Hours
Medium Slow: 25.55 Hours
Slow: 30 Hours
Fluctuating: 39.5 Hours

 

So this is all from 0-100, but if you're using this method to get Mons to 100, you're likely to be starting somewhere later- usually between 1-25 for me if I've EV Trained the mon. In that case, this equation will tell you how long you'd need to leave your mon in the daycare while you cycle round:
 

((EXP Needed / 144)*12.5)/360 = Hours Needed Away

 

You can check my math if you'd like. I think I got it right, but it never hurts to doublecheck. It's pretty basic, after all.

 

Remember to not factor Levels into this at all. Don't look at EXP needed for next level, look at current amount of EXP and subtract that from total EXP of your mon's specific egg group to get EXP needed to get to Level 100. To get to Level 50 instead of 100 will take some more maths and stuffs, but I can do that if people really want it, I guess.

[Flame Dragon]

I've been using the coin trick to hatch eggs. Even if you don't want to EXP grind with this, this is the best way to hatch eggs. 

 

I might use this for Breloom. Fluctuating EXP is the worse thing ever.
