I'm still around, need to swap one item once I see you pop on and I'm ready.

Been breeding scyther's all night and I am getting so screwed on destiny knot IV transfers. Ditto and Scyther are both 2x 31 IV's and I am only transferring over one. SMH.

But I see you already got it by the fact the Quote right here differs from the above statement I'm reading(orwas)

ah, thank you so much for offering though!! :D i'm at the point where i just wanna sweet scent spam for leftovers haha. I think Teddi is the only one that has it now. so annoying having to cancel their evolution everytime though.

I also seem to know exactly what the opponent will do and think there's no way they'd do something that obvious and easy to counter when I have the ability to rape them for it right there if they do it. TLDR i fake myself out from overestimating them.

Finished pokemon to select from:

Spoiler: show

Open to breeding suggestions as well.

Why a ditto? Never understood bringing a ditto into a team. If you're considering doing doubles, I'd replace Azumarill with Poliwrath with Water Absorb (I'd have to spend more time looking at their move pools though). You could open with Greninja and Poliwrath, Mat Block and Belly Drum the first turn, then either use surf or a targeted water attack to heal up Poliwrath and go to town. Unless I missed something, you don't have anything with Rain Dance or Drizzle, so I'd also replace Hurricane with Boomburst on Noivern.

If you're only transferring one, this might not help too much.. but I've been using a destiny knot+ one of the power items to try to increase my odds of getting 3s to work from.

323g wwww www3 xbf9 should explain ditto easily enough.
Hurricane has stab on Noivern so it's essentially a 165BP move,2x draco meteor also does slightly more damage than 2x boomburst and noivern should never be staying after the 3rd turn.I like to save meteor for when I'm finishing off a mon or expecting a switch and flamethrower gets nerfed in rain which leaves hurricane. Boomburst is good in doubles though so I'll eventually level my spares to be more doubles oriented.

Power Item cancels out the destiny knot was one of the first things I heard.

If I understand it right, items that force a specific IV to carry over will override ones that allow random IVs.

Just picked up a 3DS and Pokemon Y today - Serebii still the place to go? I got a lot of hours of catching up ahead of me.

**Moss** · 2013-11-22 14:09

Yeah Serebii is good..

I just got on to play a few rating battles for "fun" and came up against two annoying fucking stall teams. Blood pressure is twice as high now.

Which is why they play them. Easy wins against the impatient. If they're frustrating you, then it's just showing there's a weak spot on your team that needs shoring up.

**Boyiee** · 2013-11-22 16:06

omg you can be a black boy/girl in this? I have no idea what to make now, choosing between boy/girl was hard enough.

And there's definitely ways around it. Carry something with Taunt and predict the switch-in. Counter with your own annoying crap. Etc.

They can only stall so hard before they risk a time-out too. Start taking long periods of time to pick your moves. Etc

boy has literally nothing to wear but jeans and T shirts with fedoras. I usually pick boy but the difference between my first playthrough as a boy and my second as a girl is ridiculous. The boy was done so badly he literally looks better as a trap.

The only decent boy outfit I've been able to make so far is the checkered fedora, with the black vinyl bag, red plaid combo shirt, black vinyl pants, and black loafers.

Fucking boring but it's the only the only thing I've pulled remotely close to acceptable.

Then what's worth wearing that's "stylish" as far as lumiose city idiots are concerned?

Because the outfit as a whole is not awful. The hat alone, ok. The hat with the shirt? Amazing. Shirt makes the hat. Get with it.

Personally it takes the fun out of the game when their entire strategy relies on confusion proc or paralysis proc. First battle ended up close but opponent had an easy type advantage in our 1v1. Second one was just terrible... fucking substitute Klefki. Klefki could be deleted from the game and I really wouldn't mind.

This is what I was running:

Spoiler: show

Any advice is appreciated, just know I didn't plan this team - I've just been building pokes and they trying out different combos. This one was working really well in the Battle Maison so I wanted to try it online.

1. I probably wouldn't run Vaporeon against real people for 3v3s. It's just not worth it and will get owned by status with no quick way to dispatch the opponent it or block the status. Even stopping just one Wish with a Para proc means game over for the thing.
2. Mega Scizor is a waste of a Mega Evolve. Throw a Life Orb at it if you don't want to Choice Band it. I wouldn't put Roost on it either. But, you can still run it as a Mega I guess if you want to do this:
3. Run Talonflame with a Life Orb. It's going to die anyway and in 3v3 you don't need it living more than two Pokes. The damage is more than worth taking. Brave Bird + Life Orb puts Acro to shame. BB, FB, Uturn, and SD on that bird is the way to go.

**Genosync** · 2013-11-22 19:32

Also, stuff that works in Maison is not necessarily the best against real people. Don't use it as a benchmark.
