FINALLY got a ditto safari. Now just need to see gliscor and weavile, anyone want to help with that? Also, I want Charizardnite X, for my Y version. After that, it is time to start hardcore ditto catching. Would still love one of your troll rotoms, would save me a fair bit of time :O


Fire I don't know the hours you play but I can hop on around 9:30 PM Central Standard Time. That's when I'm off work. If you want to just PM me what time works for you I can get you a few of those troll Rotoms.

I can just use google to check when that is, according to google that's about two hours from posting this. So I am happy to be on and try to do it then.

Now that I do have a ditto safari, should my main focus be to catch lots of dittos to get one or two that have 3+ perfect IVs?

I caught dittos until I got the right natures (Modest, Timid, Adamant, etc... all the usual stuff). Then just check and marked their IVs and use them. I'm too lazy to find 4IVs as I find I get the 4 IV babies really quickly anyway then just switch those in (they seem to breed eggs faster too). It's personal preference I guess.

Yea, I hate how stats vary slightly at different levels and so optimizing becomes a little weird. Oh well.

252/252 still works at 50, only if your IV is odd (31). If it's 30 (even), then go with 248. It shouldn't be too much of an issue in most cases except for HP type. Partial splitting can get a bit messier, but generally you can add that +4 after the "8 per stat" if you have an odd IV, cause the extra half + half from the IV will add to a whole point.

Base Stat rounding (speed particularly) is where it does get complicated due to the speed tiers and target pokemon to beat, especially when they would otherwise beat them at L100, but don't at L50.


------------
But yeah, I don't get the weird stigma with L100s.. why not auto level 100, it's the same thing as auto level 50.

I mean, I think auto 50 is completely viable and makes sense from a gameplay perspective. Since if you are level 40, you are still 40 and it takes a lot less time to get to level 50 then to get to level 100. I just don't like how Pokemon Showdown/Smogon uses one method while Nintendo uses another method.

I can understand the need for 3v3, but yeah I agree, an automated 6v6 option would be awesome. (I'm talking about having both).

I've seen a lot of Smogon threads on them moving over to 50 as well which is kinda annoying. I'll admit I only level up to 50 due to the game reducing down to 50 but I'd like an open level bracket like there was in emerald so I had an in game reason to get to 100 (Outside of one shotting the triple battle Cafe with EQ)

hmm alright I guess I will start by getting all the relevant natures, and see if I get lucky and come across good dittos. Got one 3 IV ditto now, which is cool, and modest to boot, so one of the relevant natures. But yeah, still have a fair few to get.

It's mostly about saving time down the road. It's one less chain you have to do when working up to 5 IVs.

If you are trying to get that specific, I would get synchronizers.

Doing my own ditto farming right now, but primarily just to get a bunch (3-4 iv ones), less concerned about natures atm.

Get syncronize if you want a good ditto. I really wish pokebank would open so I can get my fleet of dittos / Abras >.<

Also on that note does anyone know if Articuno's nature is set on first encounter or when you fight him in sea spirit den?

I'm not farming too hard -> just on the side here and there when I have time. I just leave the DS in sleep mode while I'm in the safari.

I can't breed just yet, not until winter break. (long hours / just want focus time. I would rather do this than school right now, so yeah.. less distractions the better)

[edit]
another 3 iv.

Man I am trying to breed 5IV Bold Wish Eevees and I can't seem to get past 4 IVs. The problem is females are nonexistent , my best females so far have been 2IV so my 3 IVs dittos have been better.

edit: yay i got a 4 IV female :D.!

These fucking Rotoms will be the death of me. I keep getting trolled. I get one and it won't mention attack and it'll mention defense, SpA, SpD and i'm like yeah???? Then won't mention speed. Or i get 5IVs without the perfect Speed IV. I've filled up like 5 boxes of these pieces of shit. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fucking lame. RNG gods why!?!


Wow, I can't believe you are getting this unlucky. I usually have no problem getting 5 max IVs with the perfect stats in a single after-work night of breeding Pokemon.

What is taking me forever is getting a perfect 6 IV on my mix attacker Hydreigon. T_T


Well the problem is that with Rotom I HAVE to breed w/ a ditto. So I can't take the other 5IV Rotoms and breed them together to cover all 6 stats. Which basically forces me to do 5IV rotom w/ 4 IV ditto. Increasing my probability instead of reducing it.


I have a question about Rotom, Would I really only need a 5IV one? Cause from what I see Rotom don't really need atk based on the sets they give on smogon. Granted I know nothing about how Rotom fit into competitive battles. I am just breeding for potential teams and rather not go through the hassle of doing 6IV pokes if I can avoid it.

yes you only need 5IVs
technically 31/0/31/31/31/31 is better so you can reduce confusion damage but in the vast majority of games it doesn't make a difference
