The team was Scizor, Scyther, Volcarona, Escavalier, Galvantula & Armaldo.

 

Though, I have recently sorted a Scolipede, which has taken many a Pokémon down, and am testing out Mega Pinsir

 

I'm guessing Volcarona/Galvantula/Armaldo can handle Charizard? I'd imagine he's a pretty big threat since he's so popular.

 

Mega Pinsir was my first step into the world of raising a Pokemon in a completely specific way, with IV's where I needed them to be, effort value trained and with an ideal nature and I fucking loved the results. It's insanely strong as it is, but the thing just turns ridiculous if you get the opportunity to use Swords Dance. Mine's adamant, but I may try for a Jolly natured Pinsir to see what I prefer as the extra speed is always something I've kind of wanted for the guy.

 

Talking about breeding though, I was going for a 5IV Timid Froakie with Protean the other day and wound up hatching a shiny one without a perfect Special Attack stat and with Torrent as the ability ;__;

Eighty fucking percent chance of inheriting the mothers ability and it failed me at a critical moment! haha

 

Yeah, that's why I hate this breeding malarkey. Gen VI made it a bit easier I suppose.

Galvantula is able to, with Thunder, but Armaldo...absolutely. My shiny Armaldo is a beast. It's a shame it can't be used in any official tournaments anymore, but that's necessary to remove hacks and RNG abused Pokémon, I guess.

 

Volcarona, not so much.

 

If you want to watch an awesome use of Galvantula, watch this video in your Vs. Recorder. A nice clean sweep, all thanks to Galvantula:

DEQG-WWWW-WWW5-YWJ2

 

It was a battle between me and a friend. He insisted on Single Battles, knowing how much I hate them. Best two battles of three. This is the third and most enjoyable to watch. The first one was closer, but because I panicked and messed up.

Is that the right battle? Your Galvantula went down to Perish Song Mega Gengar(!?), you swept with a Malamar (his ability seems broken if you ask me, did he get "banned" or something I don't see it used very often).

 

Can you not watch random videos anymore? Only had the option to search via code.

Yeah it is. My Malamar wouldn't have been able to sweep if it wasn't for Galvantula :)

 

Nope, can't watch random ones, don't recall you ever being able to.

Damn guys.... why didn't we have immense battles back in Oct??? :( Back then everyone wanted to breed, while my battle requests were declined.

 

So about breeding... Say I wanted a Protean Froakie with the egg move Toxic Spikes. Would the Greninja that breeds have to be female for this to happen? Or can can it come both ways? (if the poison pokemon was female).

Unless you're breeding with a Ditto, yes the female has to be Greninja and has to have Protean.

 

The parent with Toxic Spikes then has to be the male Pokémon, specifically an Omanyte, Omastar, Skrelp or Dragalge that know the move.

Thank you, sir!

 

(Know the move, as in have it in their four move-set?)

 

Anyone have a protean Froakie for trade? Not sure what I have to offer.

 

Last time I was on, players were given them away like nothing... I had like 3 Pro Froakies from the wonder trade alone. (dont have the game or console anymore, would have traded if I did).

Lucky for you, I have plenty! I'll give you a female one so you can breed it as you see fit, trade whatever you like for it.

 

Just in case we don't have our friend codes exchanged: 0430-8259-3046

 

SCRAP THAT, I do have you registered haha

Do you want a dragon dance charmander for that? Should have a few perfect IVs. Either that or SLOWPOKEs. Haven't got a regenerator one, sadly.

Ah sorry I didn't check whilst trading! Haha

But thanks for the dragon dance Charmander! Sorry the Froakie isn't perfect, but it's bloody hard getting a perfect, female one DX

No worries. Hope the Charmander is OK, I don't feel like it was an even trade but I don't think I have anything else good enough.

Haha felt pretty even to me, I have quite a few protean Froakies so the fact I got a dragon dance Charmander for it is way more than I was expecting!

Really need to get back into finishing this game fully, i'm tempted to move all my pokemon to pokemon bank and replay the game

 

bank is awesome, i don't need to buy the second game and trade between myself anymore

Unless you want to trade evolve Pokémon or move items :p

 

But yeah, I agree. Plus, Pokémon Bank will be the generational transfer tool over the next few gens too

Already bred my 31/x/31/31/31/31 Timid Protean Froakie, thanks again @Debug Mode!

 

Thinking about making a physical one now. A Toxic Spikes set sounds interesting as well.

 

Edit: Bought a Pokemon Bank sub, need to move some Pokes from D/Pt/HG to my copy of Black...

Gen VI was the first time I fully cared and understood IV breeding and EV training. Before I would slap 31 ivs and 252 evs into everything because hacking was new to me in gen 4 and wanted to experiment. So x&y was the first time I completed the dex without hacking. It feels a lot more rewarding and my team is a lot better in gen VI, then it was in gen 5 & 4.

 

There's a vgc tournament coming up and I am unable to take part because hyper voice sylveon along with other pokebank mons are banned. I've never entered one before.

Finally did a 50-win streak at Battle Maison, the first time I've ever reached and beaten the second, final boss of any post-game battle game. Feels good having a golden trainer card, feels even better now that my friend has looked at my team and finds it really unusual that I won haha.

 

Here's what I used and in the order that I use them (though only the first slot counts heh)

 

Goodra

Nature: Bold

Ability: Hydration (oddly useful, would prefer the HA though)

Item: Assault Vest

Spread: 252 HP, 252 SP Atk, 6 DEF

Dragon Pulse

Flamethrower

Sludge Wave

Thunderbolt

 

Greninja

Nature: Timid

Ability: Protean

Item: Life Orb

Spread: 252 SP Atk, 252 Spd, 6 Atk

Rock Throw

Dark Pulse

Surf

Ice Beam

 

Pinsir

Nature: Adamant

Ability: Hyper Cutter/Aerialite (The most important being the latter)

Item: Pinsirite

Spread: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 SP Def

X Scissor

Sword's Dance

Facade

Earthquake

You have a similar set to my Goodra. Swap the Def evs with the Sp Atk evs and Hydration for Gooey.

 

 

I'm going to a streetpass event on April and we have to cosplay as our own gym leaders. Doesn't have to be types, could be particular themes. I chose fantasy.

 

My planned team

Rapidash

Bellossom

Mightyena

Gallade

Goodra (Different to Maya, but shiny.)

Florges (I got two shiny florges. One blue and one yellow. I also got a red one that's none shiny. Not sure which one to go for but the non-shiny one is the better one competitive wise.)

 

 

I also got an Ace Attorney themed team that I use to the occasional battle spot battle and for Battle Maison.

 

Lucario - Phoenix

Edgeworth - Aegislash

Blackquill - Staraptor

Trucy - Sylveon (Shiny)

Franziska - Mega-Gardevoir (Shiny)

Maya - Goodra

Got a Sylveon trained up (boy it's a pain evovling Eevee into this). Not sure if I should give it toxic or not but I like the current moveset.

 

What's the quickest way to level up? Been using the Battle Mansion(sp?) but some extra methods would be nice.
