• Hi all
    Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
    Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
    Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts.

    I've gotten IV breeding down to a science, and I've wanted to cough up a quick guide for IV breeding, so I'll give it a shot. If this guide turns out to not be terrible, I'm lazily declaring Creative Commons Attribution license on this guide. (google it :p ) Copy anywhere, just give me credit...

    #133-471 Eevee / Vaporeon / Jolteon / Flareon / Espeon/ Umbreon / Leafeon / Glaceon

    I need a HA female eevee with any stats/nature, or a male HA Eevee at least 3V (out of HP, def, spatk or spdef) with good stats/nature for an Umbreon. (not hard, +def, +spdef nature, -atk -spd) I can offer legendaries from gens 3-5. I have way too many of these games, so I have dupes. :P I...

    Super Training/EV/IV Thread

    If you get up as high as possible, you only have three places to aim...and they don't move very much from that perspective. But all the center spots are merged into one, and the two side spots aren't -too- hard to hit if you just spam them. Once you get enough hits in you'll get about 10 seconds...

    IV Bred Trading Thread

    I've got a bunch of male and female Mareep with +spatk -spd. This thing is a special attacking god in a Trick Room, which is extremely common in Doubles. (and Triples too really) I spent a few hours breeding two 5-stats together hoping to MM and then gave up. All are Japanese. (cart and 3DS)...

    Player Search System (PSS) & Pokémon Global Link (PGL) Thread

    With any luck it's only temporary. Dittos are by far the most popular trading stock...maybe they had to shut it off temporarily due to request processing time with the high volume? (until they update the system to handle it more efficiently) Completely baseless speculation, but give me a better...

    This also affects non-GTS trades. I have to go offline to trade dittos between my two 3DSes. grr... I wonder if the volume of Dittos is so high that it caused a DB error or something...

    Has anyone been able to trade their dittos to people seeking them on the GTS today? I can trade other mons, but none of my Dittos. (and a quick google search turned up one other result from someone a couple hours ago)

    Player Search System (PSS) & Pokémon Global Link (PGL) Thread

    It's not really confidence. Especially since there are fansites like Smogon which tiers everything, there's a large contingency of players who just don't like to use legendaries. I'm at best a lurker there myself, but regardless I just think >600 base stat legendaries are boring to use. Most...

    Was this in a double or triple battle, or just a single? I came across a random player named "Mitch" earlier with a Klefki front and center in a triple battle. It looks so little, innocent, and helpless...which kind of clued me in that I probably didn't want to let it stay around too long. (and...

    Official New and Improved General Shiny Thread

    I'm not a shiny hunter, but I do want to yell out to the world that after six full playthroughs (Gen I not included), eight titles played at least partially, and even after breeding like rabbits with MM lately...I got my first ever shiny. As a RE in Friend Safari, was looking for hidden...

    Everstone is nature, not ability. The rules for Ability changed in G6. Females still have an 80% chance of passing on whatever ability they had before. However, males can now pass on their ability with a Ditto. It's how I have so many Togepi with Super Luck. 0.521% looks close enough. :p...

    There's a 1/6 chance of getting the five perfects you want. Multiply that by the 1/32 chance in getting the missing stat perfect, and it becomes 1/192. It only becomes 1/32 (and you can really start manufacturing them) if you were to get two perfect parents! Though if Power items are as...

    Super Training/EV/IV Thread

    I don't want a 6-stat with a bad nature. That said, you made a good point re: introducing stats. With skewed gender mons like Eevee and Bulbasaur (which I've sadly already bred) it'd be easy to make a good male if you already have a suitable female.

    If EVs are already maxed, they won't be messed up by battling. If you mess up, the ST HUD will very occasionally grant you reset punching bags -- but you have to keep ST visible to get these.

    I regret wasting BP on power items. I just spent the last two days breeding with 2-3 stat dittos from Friend Safari and 2-3 stat (some other species) from Friend Safari. With Everstone (on desired nature mon) + Destiny Knot (on other mon) I can usually get a 4-stat within an hour (less for me...

    sarysa's Japanese IV/nature Breds UPDATED: Added Giga Drain Bulbasaur and Inner Focus Abra and Timid Eevee Selling a bunch of Japanese 4-stats (and a couple 5-stats) with good natures.

    Poor, poor Synchronize I'm curious as to others' experiences with the Synchronize ability. It has taken a major hit due to electric types becoming immune to paralysis. I was a little nervous breeding it in with G5 because of the popularity of Breloom (and my Umbreon being a dead giveaway) but...

    A couple things... Topic 1: RNG No, I don't mean RNG manipulation...but has anyone noticed the changes in IVs from wild pokes? It seems that legendaries and certain uniques (like the Champion's gifted Ralts) are partially (if not wholly) set in stone. Every one of these has 2-3 perfects. Not...

    So, the final word on O-Powers and the 3DS step counter bonus. If you walk 2000 steps in a day, you get a 2x O-Power regeneration bonus. If you walk 3000 steps in a day, you get a 3x O-Power regeneration bonus. If you walk 4000 steps in a day, you get a 4x O-Power regeneration bonus...

    Trainer Customization Thread

    I purchased a full outfit from the town with the fairy gym. Once I did that, I flew to Lumiose and they let me in. Before that, I had only purchased one or two other items from other cities' stores. It was within a pretty small timing window since the last time I tried, so the trigger may...
