It's time-based, as it has been in all generations.

Thanks, Wanted to make sure before I grind through to the fly HM

 

[Hydrohs]

The game has it's own cycle

Are you sure? I've heard from multiple other places that it runs directly off your 3DS clock.

It does run off the 3DS clock.

 

[Unknown Egg]

That is how my X/Y runs via 3DS clock...



to the original person: Check your 3DS, and see if the AM/PM is messed up... I know mine is off by 1 hour because I didn't change it for daylight savings time.

I figured it out, thanks! Turns out I accidentally had my clock set to 3:41 instead of 15:41. Woops!

How does someone check IVs?

All I can find is ranges but not exact numbers...

You need to level up and possibly insert more info to the IV checker before it can give exact IV Numbers. Lv 50 usually the first time exact IVs can be calculated.

Is there any way to get more than one Leftovers? and if so, where/how do you get them?

I'm sure
It's been day enough of times while I played in the night, and it's been night a lot of times while I played in the day

 

[Goten21]

It does run off the 3DS clock.

Then there must be something wrong with it, because, like I stated above, it isn't always night while it's actually night, and it isn't always day while it's actually day

Is there any way I could give my Charizard Dragon Pulse?

You can breed a female Charizard with a male Kingdra, Altaria, Haxorus, or Hydreigon (all of their pre-evolutions will work too) that knows Dragon Pulse and the Charmander from the egg should know Dragon Pulse.

Where's a good rainy spot where I can evolve my Sligoo? (I thought using Rain Dance would work but it doesn't...guess it has to be an actual route where it's naturally raining).

How do you get to Route 18 after beating the 7th Gym? There's two workers saying a Durant destroyed it

It does need to be raining naturally. and Route 14 is always raining. (I'm pretty sure)

Try Cyllage town

In all the times it has rained in my game, it was there

Actually, it isn't. Annoyingly enough, no route is always raining. I've seen rain in Ambrette Town, as well as Routes 8, 14, 19 and 21, so those would work, possibly.

You'll need to check every so often (unfortunately, I wish it worked like the Pokegear, form gen 2), but, the man tat you get the egg from, will look at the road instead of the daycare when he has an egg

Yeah, I like the Pokégear in gen II it's much more convenient. But thanks!

I'm still confused on how the new EXP. Share works. Does it take the exp and divide it by the # of pokemon that didn't battle then give it to them?

If I'm trying to level up a certain pokemon would only having 2 pokemon in my team when using the exp. Share get the one who didn't battle more exp? And what about the Lucky Egg item? If a pokemon who didn't battle is holding it does it affect the exp?

Short version, the EXP yield for a given battle is no longer one pie divided up into smaller pieces.

Lead Pokémon gets full normal experience. All others get half that number, so with a full party, you get the equivalent of 2.5x the normal experience across the entire party. Not affected by number. Lucky Egg affects what one Pokémon gets if not the lead and affects all of them if the lead has it, iirc.

Hm I'm thinking furfrou has potiental because of it's amazing fur coat ability, but it's stats seem mediocer (which is probally to be expected since other wise it's ability be kind of over powered) Still in some one's professional opinion does it have any potiental and if it did whats a good ev spread and nature?
