Ah, well more help than hurt ain't bad. What was the Rain Dance meant to achieve, if I may be so bold? Also, if you end up with an extra decently-IV'd female Shellder from your efforts, could I bother you to trade one? I've wanted to train a Skill Link Cloyster since 4th Gen, but in all the boxes and boxes and boxes since, it just never happened. I've got plenty of breeding leftovers myself: flawless Impish HA Chespins with four Egg moves, flawless Hasty HA Froakies, usable (e.g. -Atk/Sp.Atk) Bold Vullabys, 5IV Adamant Dragon Dance/Outrage Charmanders, some few other odds and ends.
Edit: Hey, you've beaten the E4, right? Your safari's third Pokemon isn't showing up on my game. Is mine on yours?
