Defog now removes hazards on both ways.

Easy to test with Defog Ducklett, Spikes Klefky and wild Stealth Rock Onix.

Is this the right forum to be asking a question about Friend Safari? There doesn't seem to be a specific thread solely for Friend Safari so I figured this general discussion thread was the most appropriate place. Please redirect me if I am wrong.

Anyways, does anyone know if they have a Normal type Friend Safari with Ditto in it?

I don't have or know of one, but it's possible.

I just got a lvl 1 Pokémon on GTS through apparently the daycare and it's in an ultra ball.... is this a hack? Or is this a new mechanic in Pokémon X and Y? Because in old games lvl 1 daycare Pokémon need to be in regular Pokeballs. Please help, I've gotten 2 of these in a row, and I'm really confused! :(

It's not a hack. One of the parents passes down their ball.

How do I make Pikachu learn Iron Tail on Pokémon X and Y?!

You probably need to wait for the Poke Transporter to get a Pikachu/Raichu with Iron Tail.

However, it may be able to be passed down by breeding, but its unlikely. The extent of the egg moves in X/Y is not known.

Right from the start, I guess. They won't obey you without a gym badge though.

Why am I unable to use Gengar in sky battles? Could it be some kind of error? I know Haunter is allowed to be used. Sorry if this is the wrong place for this.

Because for some reason Pokemon who are Flying type or who have Levitate whose models show them standing rather than flying/floating aren't allowed to enter. Guess it would look weird. :/

...so is the best postgame training area the 3 star cafe in Lumiose?

Battle Chateau is arguably better, because once you reach the title of Grand Duke, you can issue a writ that makes all trainers there stronger by 20 levels. That means level 65 Audino, and a level 80 Champion.

I like the Sushi Restaurant, which is a rank higher than the 3 star cafe. Can't remember what levels the Pokémon are, but pretty high (and you earn a lot of money from battles and also by selling whatever you win). To battle there it costs 500,000 though (well, 450,000 for me know as apparently I'm stylish enough) so that's the only minus.

Hmm, I see...
The 3 star one is 100,000, but with amulet coin and an O-Power I make that back from just beating the trainers. Then you can sell the prizes for massive money..

I shall check out the sushi restaurant then!
I have two level 100s, so have just been doing double battles with 4 things gaining from exp share.

Saw that some of the older pokemons got their Stats changed.

Its good that Pidgeot Base Speed was increased but the other Normal/Flying types still outclass it.

Would have been better if they had also switched its Attack with its Special Attack stat and given it some more Special based moves like Hyper Voice or Focus Blast (and some S.Atk boosting moves like Nasty Plot). Atleast then it would have been slightly more usable than the other fully evolved Normal/Flying ones (considering that we have only 2 viable Special based Normal/Flying type Pokemon).

Also Pikachu & Raichu received a boost of 20 Base Points while the all the others only got a boost of 10 BP. Seems kind of unfair especially to Pokemons like Pidgeot.

No, you can only get one of each Mega Stone.
