I smash your Boxes.
Can someone clear me on the subject of EVs ?
Every time I max 2 stats in the Super Training application, I fill a last stat with the leftovers, it says +6 instead ? Why am I often seeing, in competitive movesets and stuff, 252 / 252 / 4 if a stat can reach up to 6 EVs after two others maxed ?

Because the last 2 EVs don't matter.

You see, 4 EVs=1 Stat Point, so the last 2 are useless.

is it possible to breed for a shiny vivillon with a pattern that I don't have?

let's say i have a foreign father bug Pokemon, and then a female Pokemon with a pattern that I want but it's still different country from the father.

will this work?

No, if you hatch a Scatterbug with the Egg being from you own game, it would just Evolve into a Vivillion of your own game.

You earn EV lowering berries through mutation. No other way to get them I believe.

Okay, so what if I already added people to my safari, and they already got my third Pokemon. And then I decided to switch to a cartridge that hasn't beaten the league yet. Will it effect my friends?

Let's say I'm using a Pokemon with Pixilate. If I use a normal type move, does the Pokemon get the 30% boost from the ability and STAB or does the change in type not count?

It should not affect them.

There's no STAB bonus on Pixilated moves from Normal-type Pokemon. There is a STAB bonus for Fairy-type Pokemon, however.

Yeah, the latter was what I was trying to ask. Thanks, was debating on whether it was worth it to raise and transfer a hyper voice Gardevoir or not, but obviously the power will be.

Question : I've messed with my 3DS (Time Only) for a couple of times in search for megastone available throughout the region. However I recently heard it damages the game based time events so i quickly looked for all the stones and return it to the regular time of my zone. After so far I've only notice my rival Serena stopped battling me daily at Kiloude City. Any solution to this?

Nothing in the game is "damaged" by changing the 3DS time. The game only "punishes" you for 24 hours by stopping all time-based events (Mega Stones, berries growing, your rival battling you) from occurring during that 24-hour time period. Hydrohs posted earlier that it's 72 hours (3 days) but I changed my time on my 3DS once and I swear that it was only 24 hours that my time-based events didn't occur.

Anyway, long story short is wait for a couple of days and your time-based events will start occurring again. The game is just punishing you for trying to trick it.

You have to continuously encounter that little bug. Dont forget to fight it because running away will break the chain
