lotto and i think one of the battle area's sells it for 48 bp or get a 6 man team of high level pick uppers (unless its been removed from there list)

I was running around with one in the 80s and getting the occasional Candy in there. Can pick up Leftovers, too.

I just hate being a Taunt bitch, which is why I usually go with EQ instead of laying Spikes. Besides, once you're passing, it's sweep time and hazards don't get you as far. And it lets you Dance and sometimes get the sweep started with Scolipede before you have to Pass back, meaning you can possibly get +3 or more to whatever's next in line with Speed Boost.

Hm that is true. Guess I'll switch spikes for EQ. Have you tried Mega Horn instead of EQ? I see some people running that.

yeah couple of the streams i've been watching have said get a pick up pokemon to 100 and hope for leftovers since wi fi battles aren't 1 item limits

[Serra]

Oh really? Time to power level some pokemon..

And I can confirm that it's 48 points at the Battle Maison -- which is so easy to get since you get points for every victory.

Junichi Masuda discusses the addition of Fairy-type Pokemon

Spoiler: show

The new Fairy-type element in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y was added for the exact reason that players assume—to be able to counter Dragon-types, which were starting to feel overpowered in the game. In a video edition of “Iwata Asks,” director Junichi Masuda touches upon the addition of Fairy-type Pokémon to the new games.

“The Dragon type was so strong. It was difficult no matter how we tinkered with it,” Masuda replies, when asked why the decision was made to add a new element type to the game after all these years. “It wouldn’t change. And it would have been sad to make the Dragon type weaker.”

“So we thought maybe we should increase the number of types. But we hadn’t really put in a new type since Dark and Steel in Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver, so I think everyone thought we never would.”

Masuda adds that the overall element-type balance for Pokémon had to be remade from scratch due to the introduction of the Fairy-type, but feels it was worth it.

Works too, I just get good results using it on stuff like Galvantula leads, plus it doesn't contact move so it doesn't get hosed by King's Shield if they've got a Aegislash coming up (and it fucks with those, too- and people who try and trap you w/Mega Gengar.)

Megahorn's got STAB, but EQ covers one of the biggies Talonflame doesn't (that is, Rock types).

Cheap and silly is just snagging random Buneary with Pickup and once they hit Earthquake levels, they pretty much level themselves on the hordes and anything else. Exp Share a bunch together and you can zip around with a pack watching the items drop in.

Regarding egg moves:

Once a move is passed on to the target pokemon, how many of the parents need to know it to continue passing it down while breeding for IVs?

[Serra]

I believe just one. I think that's how it worked out for me when working on Froakies, but I'm not 100% sure.

So, I gotta say, seeing other fire pokemon, I think they did the worst job with Mega Charizard X's flames. Specifically, Mega Blaziken and Infernape look so much better..

[Serra]

Black Card: Get! And they build a monument for you inside the Battle Maison for winning 50 (it kinda looks like a Bronze pawn, so I wonder if there additional bonuses for going for more and more wins..). Time to get to work on finishing the Kalos Dex and then back to rotation battles~

On the note of the dex.. anyone on I can bother for a trade real quick?

[Silenka]

Can trade me if you haven't traded anyone yet.

[Serra]

Can trade me if you haven't traded anyone yet.

The trade option with you isn't available.. anyone know why that happens?

Edit: Danke~

[Silenka]

Maybe I was wonder trading when you looked? Cant drown all these eevees in a lake so...

[Silenka]

Oh good, it learns moves upon evolution. Fantastic. What do you want me to do with that? (it's Trick)

[Serra]

Umm, just pass on it, not a big deal.

[Serra]

Sorry, didn't know about that @.@

[Silenka]

Sorry, I just wanted to make sure since it doesn't look like a TM move and I don't really know how move relearner works yet. Also I wonder why you're a Passerby/Acquaintance and not a Friend? I thought I had added you...

move relearner just requires a heart scale, which are stupid easy to get from luvdiscs you fish up and thief

[ronin sparthos]

Also worth noting:

You get a good amount of Pokemiles just trading/receiving Pokemon in the Wonder Trade.

[Silenka]

That's interesting to know. I feel like wonder trading away all the dud eevees is worth something other than filling up my pokedex now XD
