Really frustrating when you're completing your dex, and then you find out how some pokemon evolve. Helioptile, why aren't you evolving!!! ...........................fucking sunstone.

Hey thanks for the add. BTW I think you have delibird and bergmite in your safari, not sure about the third one. BTW where are you getting friend codes from where you managed to get two ditto ones?

www.reddit.com/r/friendsafari/new

is the best resource because they are fresh posts and the people who add you are more or less guaranteed to be online. You need to be online in order to see the third Pokemon, which is why you couldn't see BlitzerSC's last safari (he was most likely offline). Definitely worth making a reddit account for if you don't already have one.

So I'm currently trying to complete the Kalos dex, but apparently you need to have luck of a god to finish it.
Fucking Moon Stones are rare

How do items work in this game? For example, let's say that there are "x" amount of Pokemon that require a Moon Stone to evolve. Will there be "x" amount of Moon Stones in the game? Or do certain items randomly re-spawn on a daily/weekly/whatever basis? Clarification would be nice.

You can get stones from the last level of Super Training, so they are unlimited but annoying to get.

Stones are practically unlimited but getting them through Super Training is a pain in the ass

For Sun and Moon stones, you can try this (because fuck super training): Go to the Glittering Cave and bring a pokemon with Compound Eyes. Solrock and Lunatone hold Sun and Moon stones respectively. Farm that shit.

For the other stones, good luck. I've gotten a dawn stone within 1 super training game, and also not gotten a shiny stone in over 20. Real frustrating lol

Oh and to add on to that, put the compound eyes Pokemon in the first slot, then kill it off. Put a Pokemon with frisk in the second slot so you can immediately tell if the Pokemon has an item. I like Banette, as it can also learn Thief, so you can steal the item without catching the Pokemon. Compound eyes still works even when fainted.

I found 5 moon stones and 3 sun stones within an hour with this. This method is also very useful for farming Heart Scales, Metal Coats, Kings Rocks, etc.

I used a Dustox + Thief, works well enough (level 20 atleast though, level 35 if you want to OHKO)

Moon Stones, Sun Stones, King's Rocks, and Prism Scales are also on the loot table for Pickup. Sun Stones have a 10% Pickup rate after level 51, Moon Stones after 61, and Heart Scales after 71.

What Pokemon are you using for pickup? I might make a squad of them to go find leftovers.

I caught a Lillipup in Friend Safari and power leveled in Le Wow to lvl 61. Bunnelby is easier to access though

Zigzagoon and Diggersby are available relatively early in the game. Pumpkaboo is probably the easiest to catch multiples of since of the Pickup-using Pokemon, it probably has the highest encounter rate in the areas where you meet it.

Finished the main story a few days ago (beating the Elite 4 as usual). Been playing around Showdown to see what Pokes I should try out, but I'm not very good, sitting at around 1600 rating for OU heh.

When I first saw Fletchling evolve, I was like, wow that's going to be bad because it's the same typing that plagued Moltres/Charizard.

But Gale Wings makes Talonflame so good >< I want to breed one now. But that seems like a lot of effort haha.

am I doing something wrong or is breeding "perfect" rotoms fucking impossible?

It feels like it's 100% luck since I cant breed rotoms with other rotoms.

It's a little harder with ditto pokemon, because it means you need good dittos to make the random chance higher unless you reset and replace parents with perfect IVs in the slots that were chosen.

With the reset method, you want your perfect IVs to be in 5-6 slots, but not overlapping. This usually means 3 on one parent, 2 on the other.

With simply mass breeding, you want as many 31s as you can get, and that unfortunately means catching or trading for 3-4x perfect IV dittos, and replacing the rotom parent as they get more perfect stats.

Oh yeah, that reset method might actually be a good call.

I forgot all about that one. I have a bunch of 3iv dittos and now a box full of 3iv rotoms, but it stopped at that level ><

Yeah perfect rotom seems stupidly retarded. I don't even know how I feel about it any more.

Have perfect ghastly, scyther, aegislash, gible, solosis, shroom, abra, charmander and something else atm...and finished doing evs on charmander. Atm still trying to get the rotom. And after that I'll try to just trade for the right fletchling, larvitar...and then I can just start messing around with different teams. Kind of excited to start ev training, since it means I can soon start leveling them, and then using them.

But dat rotom. @_@

To show you the luck involved. I ended up with 2 perfect 5IV rotom at the end of my breeding. It took 208 Rotom to do it. I gave one of the 5IV reject rotom to a friend. he got the perfect 5IV rotom he wanted after about 40 rotom. If you don't have a good ditto and rotom to start with you're in for a lot more than my 208.

Hit me up if you want one of my reject 5IV rotoms I still have a whole box of them.

It's good to hear other people are feeling my suffering atleast.

After breeding a Scizor, I thought breeding was just simple get to a few 5ivs, and then just rng the perfect sixth. Oh how wrong I was with rotom ><

And yes, rotom rejects are something I'm interested in acquiring.
