trying to catch a perfect 6 IV pokemon in the wild is basically gambling on a 1/887,503,681 chance, so yeah, don't bother  generally you start with friend safari pokemon (2 perfect IVs) and breed from there. and i used my shiny stone to get a roserade  need one for togekiss now | ||

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! super training sucks so hard for EV training, hordes is 100x faster, remember to get the power item from battle maison ( or a friend) | ||

Hordes have not been as efficient(I don't have Pokerus though) | ||

It's not better than Protean, since they both give the same boost and Protean isn't limited to bites. And Mega Laucher only gets STAB with Pulse, a 60 damage attack. | ||

While it's a sizable increase, Tyrantrum only gets that bonus from Crunch and the weak elemental fangs. I'd honestly rather have Rock Head so it can spam Head Smash without fear of ridiculous recoil. | ||

By hordes do you mean when you encounter 5 wild Pokemon? Why is that faster than super training? | ||

Horde Battles are battles where you face 5 Pokémon at once, usually all the same species. This only happens with wild Pokémon as a fairly rare occurrence, but their levels are reduced drastically compared to normal 1v1 wild battles in that area, so you're not immediately stomped by 5 attacks in a row. Pokémon found in hordes sometimes have a special, hidden ability that you can't otherwise get. Since hordes usually have 5 of the same species, you can easily and quickly EV train on hordes whose Pokémon give the EVs you want. Edit: Typing on a phone is so slow. :/ | ||

EDIT: motherfuckin got ninja'd No, I already beat the game and I do have honey. I edited my post by the way, so I was correct. I was just unsure of how hordes are better for EV training. My guess would have to be that by defeating more pokemon at once, it's faster? I've been fucking around in Battle Maison so I'll take a look at the Power items as well. Thanks for the tip! | ||

You can max out your EVs in 10 minutes or less. Thank you so much~ I learned something new today! | ||

Please. I have more important things to buy. Like Clothes. Bargain power doesn't work on those I thought I had completely bought out lumiose boutique, but then today they just restocked with more cute colors. Gotta farm up another 800 grand. | ||

I don't even know where to buy Vitamins anyways haha. So far it's Kiett, Milkis, and me who care for clothes, everyone else is 100% pokemon zz Ah need to breed a ton more later when not busy. | ||
