I would assume the bank is 2-way. Could be wrong though
|
Pokemon Bank with the DS games is a one-way affair, you'll be able to transfer them from B2/W2 to X/Y but not back
|
So, like, what's the deal with Goomy? It has some sort of weird cult as though it's the Dragon god. It has a friggin' subreddit called the Church of Goony devoted to it where fanboys/girls obsess over every attribute of its being.
Am I missing some crazy inside joke or what?

It's a goo Dragon and it's adorable.
So the internet went all internet on it.

I suppose that's as good a reason as any. But why Goomy and not Goodra? Eh, people are strange.
/me goes back to playing with his six Gardevoir

You can even just port it back to Gen 5 for Outrage when the poke bank opens.
Poke Bank can't go backward. Anything sent to Poke Bank can only be sent forward into a Gen 6 game.

It isn't. This was specified in the FAQ:
If I transfer my Pokémon from Pokémon Black, Pokémon White, Pokémon Black 2, or Pokémon White 2 to Pokémon Bank using Poké Transporter, can I later move them back to those games?
No, that is not possible. Pokémon moved to your online Boxes using Poké Transporter cannot be returned to Pokémon Black, Pokémon White, Pokémon Black 2, or Pokémon White 2.

Hey does anyone have a ivysaur friend safari or have a timid one with Chlorophyll they could trade me?

He generally just chose non-legendary pokemons and will probably build them with a sweeper/boost set of some sort.
The idea is to lead with Espeon and set up dual screen and then BP out to either Blaziken for an immediate sweep or any of the other booster depending on the situation. Vaporeon is there for wish support and extra def boost. When enough boost is acquired switch Hydreigon to mow down everything as the final sweeper. Any ideas or suggestion would be greatly appreciated as i'm pretty noob and my only source has been smogon and lurking the pokemon thread =s No expert on Baton Pass, but usually Baton Pass teams run Ingrain so Whirlwind and Roar can't remove all your boosts in 1 move. If he's expecting Baton Pass, your friend will probably put Roar on Garchomp and Charizard, which would stop your team easily. In addition, while it may not be relevant to this match, all sound moves now go through Substitute. This alone almost makes Mr. Mime's Soundproof ability necessary unless you want to die to stuff like Noivern's Boomburst/Roar. I personally run a Noivern over Latios almost exclusively for this reason (and because Gliscor...).
Thanks for input! it shouldn't really be an issue my friend won't really know i'm running a baton pass team. Now with the team though i'm actually thinking of changing the Hydreigon to Salamence running:
5. Salamence
Nature: Naive
Ability: Intimidate

Item: Expert Belt
This should allow me to switch in easier with intimidate. The only problem i'm seeing now is the lack of priority moves =s But that could just be because i'm greedy and want a bit of everything lol

Dragonite could be a viable alternative. It has absolutely fantastic synergy with Mawile-M by resisting each other's weaknesses, and can spread paralysis with Thunder Wave. It is incredibly bulky, has its own priority in ExtremeSpeed, and is itself a great Baton Pass receiver.

Not that easy to get a Extremespeed Dragonite into X/Y though. Don't you need to transfer it from HG/SS?

Ah, right, I'd forgotten you need HG/SS for it. :/ Still, even without priority, it has the bulk to take a lot of hits and can be one scary guy when placed at the end of a BP chain.
Or, if you wanted, you could have Mawile-M be the receiver, since it has a ridiculously powerful Sucker Punch.

Hey guys, just beat top4 and champion. I'm gonna start thinking about a team and try my hand at breeding.
Friend Code is 5429-8060-4343 dont know what kind of safari i have though.
|
Super hype cause I got my first 6 perfect IV!! ...but it was Ferrothorn, where the optimal speed is 0. Now to work on getting that perfect Mawile, other megas be damned.
|
how much of an attack boost is tough claws exactly?
|
I just googled around and got 20% boost. STrong Jaw and Mega Launcher are 50%

did you already get the one in game at the go goat place?

Can you only get perfect IV through breeding?
For EV training, all you need to do is activate super training? :3
Sorry, I have absolutely no idea how this works so explanations would be very much appreciated!

While I spend my tedious time with Xerneas I got an Adamant with perfect IV, so it's possible without breeding, but good luck with that RNG.
