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

Shiny charm? I thought you couldn’t transfer items through PokeBank, is there one in Gen 6?

Well this is a first. Got a batch of 5 Froakies…and ALL their Hidden Powers ended up Grass >_<.

Ah shit, just realised I’ve been calling Mega Pinsir Mega Heracross all this time, sorry about that, it was late at night and I was starting to fall asleep.

I’m running Gliscor with policy simply because if he doesn’t get hit by a super effective then he gives 0 fucks about anything, buffs twice and passes and if he gets hit by super effective water special he’s switching out or dying next turn, poison heal or not so he may as well be buffing speed and both attacks at once before he passes.

Looked into Smeargle, but whilst focusband/spore/buff looks good the amount of good priority moves this gen makes me nervous, Gliscor seems more likely to get in and buff something twice whilst Smeargle looks more likely to focus band a priority move, buff once and then not be able to batton pass because the opponent switched in another priority attacker, could just be my meta there though lol, guys near me love the priority.

So many Protean Froakies…not one coming up HP Fire.

Youre not running ice beam on em?

dont HP get locked in at that point. i was reading on how to get the right HP and it was based on the IV breakdown. so with the use of destiny knot and the majority of your eggs having the same IV you will get the same HP. getting the right HP seemed more hassle than 5 iv breeding so i gave up on the idea pretty quick.

@everyflowflower what times do you normally log in/free? i’ve added your 2nd account and my FC is in my signature. but i’m at 0GMT so depending on what timezone you are in keep thinking i’m missing you.

that is what you get if you caught all Kalos dex’d pokes. working on completing central right now.

Thanks for the answer :tup:

You have to complete the national dex to get it

@TheCoJones

Changed my mind. I want the Marvel Scale Dratini with Extremespeed. :slight_smile:

No it’s over U-Turn as I can’t get a hold of a Hasty Protean Froakie.

ice beam is greninja’s most important attack, he’s secretly an ice type

So does Greninja get STAB attack with every attack because of Protean or?

Also how do you tell what Hidden Power a Pokemon has?

Yes it gets STAB on everything and turns into the type of the move it uses on each turn. Also you can just go Anistar City to the rightmost house in line with the Pokemon center and talk to the Psychic dude inside to find out your Pokemon’s Hidden Power.

fight a kecleon or go to anistar i think and this girl will tell you what hidden power your poke has

First question, yes.

Second question, there’s a Hidden Power checker in Anistar City.

yea, with hidden power and protean, you essentially have a beam attack in every type except for fairy and normal (unstabbed beam attack), it’s pretty damn good

don’t let his base 103 SpA fool you, he hits freaking hard

Ready to trade then.
