Pokemon X & Y (3DS)

[Souj]

I'm fine on Togepis. I have onewith Encore and Nasty Plot which was all I was looking for atm. Picked up a male Noibat so I can have it learn Boomburst. Next step it to breed the encore/nasty plot togetic with a chatot then breed that with the noivern so I can get a Chatot with encore/nasty plot/boomburst and it's the chatot I want with Modest.

I was just more or less concernd as to why Synchronize wasn't working.

Instacheck Hotspot

If you played competitive VGC in the last generation, you probably heard of Pokécheck, a fake-GTS site which many players used to quickly check the details of their Pokémon. We may not have a Pokécheck for Gen 6 for quite some time, but until then Instacheck Hotspot will let us do the same for our Pokémon in X and Y.

How does it work?

Instacheck Hotspot uses your computer's wireless connection to create a wi-fi hotspot, which you must use to connect your 3DS to the internet. Your computer can then analyze all network traffic going to your 3DS, and find the data of all Pokémon shown or sent to you in a trade. Instacheck lets you view their details - even of unhatched eggs!

(Note: does not work for GTS trades, as the GTS is encrypted this generation.)

Download link

Requirements

• A computer running Windows Vista or later (XP has not been tested)
• The computer must have an internet connection, and have a wi-fi connection not being used for internet. (A laptop with a wired connection not using its wi-fi adapter should work.)
• WinPCap must be installed.
• Microsoft .NET 3.5 or later must be installed. (You probably already have this if you're running Windows 7. If you've used RNG Reporter on your computer before, you definitely already have this.)

Note: Mac and Linux versions are in the works.

Installation Instructions

• Install WinPCap if you haven't done so already.
• Unzip InstacheckHotspot.zip and copy the files to a separate folder of your choice.

Usage

• Run InstacheckHotspot.exe. This window should appear:

http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/5315/5edn.png

• In the Shared Connection box, select the network connection that provides your internet. If you are using a wired connection, this will probably "Local Area Connection".
• Enter your desired network name and password, then click the "Start Hotspot" button.
• Connect your 3DS to the newly created wi-fi hotspot.
• Erase connection settings for any other nearby wi-fi connection your 3DS might attempt to connect to. If your 3DS connects to the wrong hotspot, Instacheck cannot check your Pokémon.
• Once the hotspot is successfully created, click the "Start Instacheck" button. You'll see this window:

• In the box above the Start Scanning button, select the network adapter providing the wireless connection for your 3DS.
• In your Pokémon game, connect to the internet.
• Click the Start Scanning button. While scanning, Instacheck will automatically displays the stats of Pokémon that you are shown in a trade, or receive in a Wonder Trade.

Troubleshooting

My 3DS connects to the hotspot, but fails the connection test to the internet.

You may have selected the wrong Shared Connection - try again with a different one.

My 3DS is connected to the internet, and I'm trading but nothing is showing up.

First, check to see that you deleted all other connection settings from your 3DS system settings. You may be connecting to the wrong hotspot. If that is not the problem, try trading while scanning with all of the different network adapters. You may have selected the wrong one.

I clicked the Start Hotspot button but it tells me "Virtual Router Plus could not be started." It worked before, why isn't it working now?

This is a problem that, for now, requires you to reboot Windows. A better solution will be available later in the week.

My 3DS just disconnected from the hotspot and I tried to reconnect, but it isn't working.

One thing we've noticed is that if the 3DS disconnects from the hotspot, the hotspot MUST be restarted (just click the Stop Hotspot button) before the 3DS can connect to it again. We're not sure why, that's just how it works.

I am technologically inept and have no hope of ever getting this working.

Well, the good news for you is that you don't need to get the program working yourself in order to check your Pokémon. All you need to do is enter a trade with someone who does, and they can check your Pokémon for you. But please do try to get it working, so more people are available to help others.

Which one is which from battle Maison? I think I have a streak of 70-something, so I'm close to one.

They're both from Maison streaks.

Lansat's 100. Starf is 200. My high is 72 at the moment, but I just switched to a team that doesn't have a Truant Durant, yet I have a good feeling will get me really far.

Something I saw on Reddit during my ragefests:
Adamant scrappy Kanga @ megastone.
31/31/31/x/31/31.
252 atk 252 spe 6 hp.
Fakeout.
Earthquake.
Sucker punch.
Return.
Adamant gale wings Talonflame @ life orb.
31/31/31/x/31/31.
252 atk 252 hp 6 spd.
Brave bird.
Roost.
Flare blitz.
Bulk up.
Bold water absorb vaporeon @ leftovers.
31/x/31/31/31/31.
252 hp 252 def 6 spa.
Toxic.
Surf.
Protect.
Wish.


I'm at 23 ATM with zero scares. It's wonderful.

[Xajii]

Scald > Surf imo. I have 2 of those 3 on my team currently, I am avoiding using Mega Kanga because I hate him lol. I use this:

Vaporeon (Bold Water Absorb) @Leftovers (HP, DEF EV)
Protect
Scald
Wish
Toxic

Talonflame (Adamant Gale Wings) @Life Orb (HP, Attack EV)
Flare Blitz
Brave Bird
Roost
U-Turn

Gengar (Timid Levitate) @Gengarite (Sp.Atk, Speed EV)
Dazzling Gleam
Shadow Ball
Substitute
Thunderbolt

haven't had many problems yet although your team is probably better overall.

Vaporeon is an absolute monster, and rarely dies. Nothing can OHKO it, not even Thunder

If be down to try this, as I love my Shiny pokes. Would it be possible to include Trainer Shiny ID numbers in the XML file that lists everyone's FC? That way, if someone gets an egg with a Shiny ID that matches someone's Trainer Shiny ID number, they can get a guaranteed shiny Pokemon when it hatches.

[Souj]

Chatot must be the most annoying pokemon i've ever tried to catch. For some reason, even at 1 hp theyre extremely difficult to catch and on top if that, they can inflict taunt, confuse, and sleep. If a quick ball doesn't nab them, (50% chance thus far) then huzzah for possible annoyance.

[Moss]

soooo... my Modest Synchronize Gardevoir is not Syncing... I've caught 6 Togepi and 5 Noibat and not a single one was modest.
Yes, it was in the lead.

you're just having really bad luck. it's a 50% chance iirc

I'm gonna have to copy y'all with the Vaporeon, love bulky pokes and after losing my last streak at 31 I think I need to put together a lower variance team. I want to try out an eviolite Doublade as well because fuck aegislash.

Burn would be worthwhile for the steels. Good thought. The extra damage of surf probably saved my ass once but Scald is probably still fine.

Double hit Fake Out is ridiculous. Mega Kangas's utility is through the roof.

I'm through 50 again now. Almost lost to Thundurus at the end with only Vaporeon left but I let it Wild Charge its ass into the ground with Wish/Protect.

One thing I hate about those high levels is the amount of legendaries.. Reminds me how aggravating it is that the Battle Maison/Subway/Tower don't count towards filling the Pokedex.. no way I'm gonna get a lot of those..

Well, I'll probably have them. And I'll help Dex fill sometime.

Already working on getting my boxes set up for Pokebank.

I don't know why, but I hate transferring things away from one game to another (unless I have duplicates..), so that will be much appreciated~

Np.

After I get these stupid freaking Maison berries I'll probably open up shop here offering to help out with anything. I plan on making one of everything OU and UU eventually.

no i know, mega kanga is probab ly the best poke in the game right now, but i just don'tlike it, so i won't run it. he beats me often n ranked lol

[Serra]

Anyone I can bug for a quick trade? Just need to evolve a haunter and then evolve a Gligar tonight, and I'll have all 3 dexs complete.

Don't the Pokemon you see in Cafes count towards Pokedex entries?

There is nothing quite so satisfying as watching one of those try and PuP into a Ferrothorn or Garchomp with a Rocky Helmet on. It kills itself for you. Bonus if you can status the thing for good measure- if he's relying on Sucker Punch, free Will O Wisp to the face. Sableye can turn it's beefy pummelings into self-abusive confusehax as well.

[Serra]

Cafes, yes; Maison, no. That's one thing I wished they had changed this generation.

[Not Kuno]

Cafes run out eventually. All the cafes tell me that they cant help me with my Pokedex anymore. Lame.

I use Powerup Punch with my Kanga instead of EQ. Kanga is beefy enough to take a hit and that swords dance boost is fucking nuts on her.

I can jump on now if you still need

Got it taken care of, thanks though~

[Dominico]

I read that you can choose to have an egg you hatched be inside the same pokeball type as one of its parents. How do you do that? Want to have a Gastly in a Dusk Ball (parent Haunter is in one), but no clue how to do that.
