• 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 have a quick question about breeding/masuda method. I had gotten a Axew from GTS from Korea, bred it with a Ditto for IVs, now breeding the Korean Axew with a perfect IV axew. Will the masuda method work on this, since the offspring I'm using was technically bred from the original Axew?

Assuming your Axew is not Korean, the pair you mentioned should be able to be MM for shiny.

Well the way it went was

K Axew+My Ditto= new Axew, New Axew+My Ditto= IV Axew. Now it's IV Axew+K Axew= Shiny?

As long as one breeding partner has a Foreign tag, in your chase KOR, and the other partner does not have a foreign tag, MM is in effect. So in this instance yes MM should be working since the Korean Axew is breeding with an Axew that you hatched in your region.

Ah thank you very much. And 1 more question, does breeding with a shiny increase the chance for more shiny pokemon?

Hello everybody, I need help, please.

My girlfriend is playing X version and she can't rematch her rival. She already won a match on Battle Maison, battled her rival once on Kiloude City, upgraded the mega ring, even found the Manectite. But now she goes where her rival is, but he doesn't battle >_<
He just says "When we first set off on our journey..."

Help us T.T

Did she go back on the same day or is this been over different days?

She defeated him almost two weeks ago and today she can't battle him again =/

hm? Did she go look for any of the mega stones? Maybe you have to find some of the stones before you trigger the daily event. Or did she mess with the clock on her 3ds?

Well, she found the Manectite the day that she battled him. The clock is fine on my 3DS, I can battle my rival each day normally on my Y version u.u

I hope it's ok to ask this here. I'm replaying Pokemon X and I'm trying to decide between having Pupitar or Lucario in my team. I just got badge 3.

I think that you should tell us which is your team, if Pupitar or Lucario is better depends on your team :)

has the rate been figured out for masuda methoding in gen 6, when you DO NOT have the shiny charm? Is it still 25%? I've been through easily 500, nothing...

Probablities don't work the way you think. They don't guarantee you anything. I have the shiny charm and while I have had Masuda methods in ~30 eggs, I've also had ones go over 1,000 with no sign of a shiny. Going over 500 eggs with no shiny is pretty common, even with the shiny charm. You're just not having particularly good luck

I need some pokedex help, I'm trying to complete the pokedex to get the shiny charm for future shiny hunts, but I do not have meloetta or keldeo in my pokedex, i don't have them in my other games either. How am I supposed to get event only pokemon for my dex when the event is over?
