Excuse me but I have a question that I like to ask of you. If female Axew have an egg move that has 6 Max Ivs while a Charmander hold an everstone, can it learn one of the egg moves from the mother?

The mother is able to pass on Egg moves as long as the baby is able to learn them.

Anyone know a quick way to reach max Style so I can get the Hatching O-Power? I feel like I have high style already - I've bought a bunch of the outfits, battled in the restaurants many times, and I sometimes get discounts from the taxis (not sure if that last one is related to it) - but I guess I'm not quite there yet. I have all the other O-Powers too.

You can check your style level by the price of the Mega stones in the stone shop. When they are $10,000 then you have max style.

You can max your style by purchasing 100 premier balls but you need to start a new customer transaction for each ball.

What I did was purchase 20-30 balls go check the price of the stones and if necessary repeat.

Your probably not there yet.

Anyways, look here: http://www.serebii.net/xy/lumiosestyle.shtml

The link that I have provided you should give other ways of maxing out your style.

This part is not entirely true. When I received my Hatching O-power, the mega stones were $50,000 for me.

I have a question; What are my chances of breeding a shiny in X and Y when I have the shiny charm combined with a Japanese male Pokemon and an English female Pokemon? Also do genders really matter when breeding a foreign Pokemon with one of my own?

Thanks, I'll try doing that =D

Another unrelated question though, on the 3DS home screen my Pokemon X always has that little green circle in the lower right corner (for notifications I guess) and I don't know how to get rid of it. It's been there for months and I tried everything I could think of to get it to go away but it won't. Any suggestions?

Shiny Encounter: 1/8192
MM: 6x normal - 1/1365
MM+ Shiny Charm: 8x normal: 1/1024
Yes, genders always matter... The Masuda Method will only take effect when all other regular breeding conditions are met.

Thanks, it is nice to see that the odds are somewhat improved. Additionally I was asking if the odds differed between using a male or female foreign Pokemon. Apologies for phrasing it in a semi-incoherent manner.

Oh! Like that! :D No, chances aren't improved further by having a foreign Pokemon of particular gender.

Oh yeah, and in addition, he asked about odds in X/Y specifically, so the probabilities you provided should be doubled* to give the X/Y shiny probabilities.

*MM + shiny charm in X/Y at 1/512 is still a tentative value, to my knowledge

The green circle means that you have received streetpass data for the game. You can get rid of the circle by going to the PSS menu on the bottom screen of the game, and select the Holo Caster from its menu. You can then select Check Announcements to get a few PokeMiles for the streetpasses.

Alternatively, you could disable streetpass for Pokemon X to permantly stop the green circle from appearing.

Completed the National Dex and got the Charm items from Sycamore. I might try and catch a load of Shinies though.

I... I don't understand.

I completed my Kalos/National Dex and I already talked to Sycamore (and I got the Oval/Shiny Charm) and I don't have anything like that in the bedroom. Why?
