Yeah. I was talking to Sunny about how he always gets free shinies, and I said that I never do. Someone oversaw it and offered me a Shiny Greninja. Then, before I ended the trade, he showed a Shiny Torchic. He traded it to me, then sent me a VM about it. I think it was cloned, but IDC. Just got him to level 100 a few days ago, and I use him on my gym team. Speaking of which, since I have the day off basically (doctors appointment), I decided to EV the Rotom you traded me into a Rotom H. Currently, he's my only counter to Talonflame. >.<
I see banded quite a bit on Showdown. Belly Drum is too risky IMO. I just bred one thig morning with Aqua Jet. Didn't even bother with Belly Drum.
I was a Cyndaquil. I never got to be a Torchic ;-; I chose him as my very first starter, however.
