Yeah, not having Spin is something that sets Starmie and him apart. Which is good. Having options is always good to me.
Just really nice to see one of the new gen pokemon have a good spot on someone's team.

This. I hate this fucker so much when I have to battle him.

**Karbuncle** · 2013-10-16 12:17

Well, I got my fourth Gym Badge and am enjoying the run through. Party is Venasaur(40), Foxthing(40), Snorlax(30?), Tyrunt(35), Lapras(Idkjustgotit), Lucario.

I'm looking to find the Honedge fella, What route is he located on?

Also going to mix things up a bit... This isnt my final Team. Unfortunately almost all of them have sh*t Natures, so going to be breeding endgame :D

**Eanae** · 2013-10-16 12:20

Found this and now I pretty much have no choice but to max it.

Protean: Changes the Pokemon's type to the type of the move it's using.

Considering it shifts type when the move is used (before it hits), this means you get STAB with every attack you deliver, and priority moves like Shadow Sneak/Water Shuriken let you swap faster than people will hit you. (And Sneak also means you can get out of trapping/Wrap style moves, since Ghost types now ignore the "can't switch" stuff like Shadow Tag/Arena Trap.).

It's a really, really nice ability. Puts it up on the top tier of starters with Blaziken.

Eanae, be warned that some of the older gen pokemon got boosted. I don't know if Mawile is part of that or not and I've yet to actually work out anything related to Mawile (keep getting distracted!) but she's my next target on breeding.

What I'm saying is the calculators are broken for who knows what pokemon. The only person currently who can tell you if the IVs are best is the IV checker after you beat the game.

Pretty much why this Frog is the bomb.

Guess I'll have to pick him up early on.

Any clue on which nature it should use? Same thing for Greninja, though I'm thinking Modest. Pretty sure Timid for Venusaur and Adamant for Tyrantrum are the right ones, though.

A'ight, thanks love.

I'll take a modest froakie.

Most of the older gen pokemons you can just check smogon if you're not sure but yeah. Greninja would be Modest. See if you can get one of the currently being offered Greninjas like I am because I don't know anyone with a safari that has Greninjas.

Now to start working on an ideal party 'o six. What's everyones feeling on Goodra so far? I feel its a bit underpowered compared to previous generations of Dragons, largely because of its defensive setup.

On the other hand, that's it's virtue. We're used to the Gen5 "MUST OUTRAGE MOAR" Dragons, but in G6 it's a broadly resistant type and Goodra is...er... good. If you run Rain Dance on it, Hydration works. Gooey drops anything that contact-hits it down -1 Speed each time, which can mean you're going to leave anything a reminder you were there even if they do punch you to death.

Have people found ways to get extras of the Charizardites so you can trade them back and forth?

In that shop in Paris-town there's a dude who will sell you the 2 stones you didn't get. If you buy it before the postgame it's 1 mil, afterwards 150k (or at least it was for me). He's inside the same building as the other evo stones that are sold.

I don't think you can get seconds or thirds...
Could be wrong.

Also, no youtube at work so I dun know what that link is >_< it's a black box.

That sucks... Why can't you have both X and Y? Or Mega Tyranitar and Mega Aggron?

**ronin sparthos** · 2013-10-16 12:51

On a random note: Why isn't the Team Flare uniform purchasable!

:/ Have to trade. Guess that's one of the benefits of grabbing both X and Y.
