Pokemon General Discussion Thread - It's Lit(ten)!

Well My breeding Projects are done Carnivine and Perfect 5iv 0iv speed abomasnow

Po…Axew breeding is trolling me. I have 5 IVs combinations for everything BUT the one thing you’d want a 5 IV with him (aka -SpA).

Anybody have a Shellder with Rock Blast by chance?

Yeah, I have plenty, why?

Care to spare one? Want anything in return?

I could probably spare like 10 lol.

Uh, what do you have?

@Saitsu, Can I barter for one of those as well? It has Skill Link, right? I’m online right now, my FC is on front page. IGN is Cookie, and my friend safari is Riolu, Tyroge, and Pancham

Yeah, it has Skill Link.

I’ll add you on my FC, idk if you have mine yet. And what do you have to offer?

Not much really. Modest Dragon Pulse/Aura Sphere Squirtle seems to be my most popular offer lately

Sure, I’ll take that. Let me enter your FC as well.

I got a bunch of Piplups, but they only have Pound, and arw being bred with that 6iv Ditto

Can anyone trade me some Y exclusives? Namely any of these. I’ll help with X exclusives if I can.

Spoiler

Shellder
Omanyte
Kabuto
Heracross
Purrloin
Spritzee
Yveltal - Not permanently, just trade to get the dex entry then trade back

How do you get the fossils of the older gen pokemon like Kabuto, are the fossils in rocks?

You have anything other than Piplup?

DroughtVulpix, wrap leer dragon rush shed skin Dratini, superpower earthpower feint bite Trapinch, wrap swagger night slash shed skin Seviper, and a normal ass Ralts.

Hmm…I’ll roll with the Trapinch. I could always try and find a use for Flygon.

(Of course Japan cheats at Pokemon, as best shown by the literally Japanese A.I. in various mansions and in-game tournaments.)

Has Gamefrak even said publicly how they’ve fixed PokeBank or any other changes made to it? Similarly, have they said what, if anything, they’re going to do about things that already traded through PokeBank?

Not to make it seem like you don’t know what you’re doing, but I have to ask since I made a similar mistake with Circle Throw literally just yesterday: you are aware that Dragon Tail is -6 in priority, right? Meaning that even if it was used by a Pokemon with literally infinite speed, it would still go last unless opponent was using Trick Room (or also using Dragon Tail or Circle Throw) or had Stall.

If you knew this already and we’re just using Dragon Dance for Fire Fang with the power boost to Dragon Tail being incidental regardless of speed, then more power to you.

If you didn’t know, then Dragon Dance should probably be replaced with Curse. Admittedly, I’m not sure how easy this would be to “fix” given how much time in-game breeding still seems to take and definitely does take versus just plugging something (legal) in on a simulator, but I figured I would ask.

I can give you kabuto and omanyte. Do you have cranidos (or rampardos) by any chance? or i dunno pinsir?

Edit: yeah you go into that cave and use rock smash, you can get random poke encounters, nothing or fossils on those. Changes everyday I think

I believe their Facebook page said something about modifying it to prevent server crashes.

i think it would be better to use dragon claw over dragon tail than curse over dragon dance

he’s got that base 71 speed, which is an awkward speed stat, at +1 he’ll outspeed starmie (or at least tie it)
i also wouldn’t use him for defensive purposes as rock type…isn’t really good, ttar gets away with it for being ridiculous and always having sand up

If Scarf Jolly Pangoro outspeeds Starmie, Tyrantrum definitely does.

Actually, +1 Jolly Tyrantrum outspeed +Spe Base 130s (not that you’d need to). I believe that Adamant Nature goes down to speed 120s but I’m not 100% on that one.
