Wow. Just by looking at these posts it seems as if the Shiny Chances have increased! Apparently if you tip people (like bards, waiters, etc) the maximum amount of money then your Shiny Chances will increase. I'd love it if this was confirmed but only seems like a rumor thus far.


Hmmmm I might take 10 photo's then and tip maximum ;p


Still no luck in finding shinies... I just started with the looker missions, is there a page about this yet?

Battled Yveltal with Blaziken and Steelix. I used Ember first, crit hit it, then swiched to Steelix and used Iron Tail and that was a crit hit too. Was down to a slither of health and caught it with one great ball :p

So I've hit the big wall, since I don't want to start Y over again, I must make the one single Yveltal I get count, with it being a competitive one. I already got the battle ready to do, with a Master Ball, and after a while I got a Timid Ralts with Synchronize, the only thing left is to get 50 Rare Candies for obsessive IV checking, with Wonder Trade spam to cover getting the Rare Candies.

You think Yveltal will be legal? He gets refused at the battle maison which might give reason to say certain pokes will not be allowed for championship purposes.

Legendary Pokemon can be used in Free Battles online, been swept by Mega Mewtwo X and Y, and a Xerneas, and seen Zygarde too. Not fun when your not using legends of your own.

Trading an Espurr I got back to someone else on Wonder Trade.

Just caught a shiny Haunter, pretty awkward when I was already traning a Gengar in my team. I am planning to save it for my X walkthrough and just trade it when my team is around that lvl of my shiny Haunter.

Anyone know if the Shiny Appearance rate has changed? I've heard people say that they seem to be popping up more often
 
Stopped playing in route 8 yesterday and I woke up this morning and it was raining. I guess rain is random?
 

Blackjack the Titan

It’s been a while
Just started the game a while ago.
Chose Chespin and did not nickname it. Before I battle Youngster Austin, I leveled it up to Lv 9.
Caught an Weedle, Scatterbug, and Fletchling in the Santalune Forest.
Exited with Chespin at Lv. 11, Lv. 8 Kakuna, Lv 10 Fletchling and Lv 8 Scatterbug.
 
Surprised more people haven't turned off exp share, doesn't it make the game a little too easy, especially if you're using the three starters provided aswell? Every gym leader I've fought have had Pokemon +1 or -1 level of my strongest Pokemon, gift Pokemon have all been bang on the same level aswell

Anyway loving the game and my current team:

Charmeleon - lv 33
Absol(Zhia) - lv 33
Steelix - lv 32
Lapras - lv 31
Exeggutor - lv 30
Carbink - lv 30

Badges - 3
Game time - 36 hours lol
Pokedex -103 pokemon caught out of 168 seen
