I am so mad right now. Ability capsule won't work here, will it? T_T
Ability capsule can't give HA moves

Nothing wrong with being Torrent greninja. Just go with the flowwww. You can use spikes, the enemy will naturally think that you are ground type and use a water attack and you can laugh at them for not paying attention.

oh man just spent an hour getting my ass beat in super single battle to realize that my sub lv 50 group I was using didn't get bumped up to 50 like I assumed -.-

lol yeah that's the worst, happened with my team of level 20 eeveelutions

hah, I did that with a trevenant. It was level 40 though, so it was just good enough that I didnt realize it for ~15 battles.
Can male pokes pass on hidden abilities? Or is this 6IV female torrent froakie effectively trash?

gotta roll in with level 1 aron and endeaver people lol
he's actually pretty good in the 3v3 meta to take along if you see no ghosts. Not that much weather/status/etc just attacking.

Males can pass it on but the chances are lower. 
Females are predominantly the ones that determine what abilities offspring get (unless breeding with Ditto. females can't pass down HAs breeding with Ditto)

The most notable change is that Hidden Abilities, which previous required you to have the mother with the Hidden Ability, can now be bred without the mother having it. If the father has got the Hidden Ability, there is a small chance that the offspring will also have their Hidden Ability. However, this only works if you are breeding with a Ditto. This is even more useful considering Hidden Abilities are more easily found via Hordes and Friend Safari.

Previously only females could pass down HAs, now males also are able to. However, males are only able to do it when breeding with a Ditto. That's exactly what I said.

Derp.
Need to make myself a cup of coffee. It's just 8 AM and I just horribly misread that blurb on serebii. Lol. Got a loooong day ahead.

So I've been waiting since release for my brother to come home from Africa. Today was the first day we started playing! And oh man is this game good. I haven't even beat the 2nd Gym yet and i have over 80 pokemon obtained :D (Yes i want to complete my dex bro). Having a blast atm.
|
haha yeah complete dex is something I never really went for, but this time I caught every new pokemon I came across, am currently at 542 caught xD and roughly 550 seen.
So only just started a tiny bit of competitive play, and because pokemon-gl is down, I've just been doing solo 3v3s....and after playing like crap yesterday, I lost my first one this morning, and then won the next 10. Just seems that you need a good opener, and that is 99% of the battle. Almost finished my 2v2 team, will be keen to play that! Just need stupid politoed..
EDIT: Also got a new feel for protean greninja, having things like a ghost move on him to turn into ghost before they try to use an otherwise super effective fighting move on you is great
|
Do you guys catch all in-game or what? I only broke 300 recently lol. Still not complete non-national dexes.
|
I caught a lot of them ingame, and then traded over gts for starters, and version exclusives. And then need to remember all the baby versions, and just various evolutions of each, and that there are a bunch of legendaries. I found that whilst I was trying to do as many at once as I could, eventually I just did one area of the kalos region at a time, with the help of google to figure out where to go. Get a pokemon with sweet scent for those numerous horde only pokemon..
After that, gts is your friend, and also getting a lot of friend safaris, as many pokemon that aren't in the kalos region can be gotten that way. I know I could probably scour the interwebs for a few more friend safaris to get me more pokemon I need, but not sure how high you can get even with friend safaris. Probably not far beyond 560ish. And there are 454 in the kalos region
|
I think there's supposed to be 596 or so?
Not sure. I stopped filling up my dex after I filled up my boxes with breeding spitbacks + dex fillers.
I sure wish they didn't have a 31 box cap.

I'm pretty sure I just used up most of my breeding RNG luck tonight.
I got a japanese Rotom on wonder trade and decided to try breeding one, see how long it would take to get a shiny. Well, I just bred a shiny Rotom with 31s in HP and SpA that gets HP Ice, the exact type I need for my team's coverage...after only 30 eggs.
All of a sudden I'm not looking forward to the RNG recoil.

Don't worry if you give it to me then it won't count

Shiny's are easier to get with pokemon from different regions. Try and get a European pokemon and a Japanese one and thats your best chance for shiny's
