So my Blaziken is too slow. But it has speedboost. Would it make sense to add Protect to it's move set (I will lose coverage) to delay one turn and try to get a hit before it gets OHKOed?
Hm, of the following moves which should I drop for that? Brave Bird, Earthquake, Flare Blitz or Sky Uppercut? Thinking of ditching Brave Bird, it gets the least use because no STAB, recoil and EQ has better coverage and no downside
plus I use EQ in doublebattles with Charizard/Gengar sometimes
I swear the most random crap learns Arial Ace. And uses it on my Chesnaught. Every time.
also before gen 4 I thought that evolving a pokemon late would permanently affect it's stats, because of the +es you get at the end of battle. They don't explain that well
I've noticed the first several boutiques in the game have stopped rotating their wares. This includes Laverre City, Santalune and Cyllage. However the other stores, such as Lumoise, still rotate their inventory every day.
At the beginning of the game I had the clock set ahead a few days (thanks ...
... argh... damn you 3 star restaurant! I nearly had a perfect run, then turn 1 - all 3 enemies use protect. turn 2 - kill 1 severely wound the other two. turn 3 - the remaining 2 use protect.
Shunting a box and a half of stuff onto wonder trade - anyone who's awake and paying attention to chat want a (sassy) leech seed + stealth rock Ferroseed or an adamant Inkay? Speak up if so, you've likely got a good hour before they're gone.
There are a few things which increase XP gain at the end of a battle, for example:
A traded Pokemon gains more XP naturally
The Lucky Egg held item
The Exp. Point O-Power
Pokemon Amie Affection
I know that Exp. Share gives half of the earned XP to the other Pokemon in the party. But do these ...
OK, I just started playing Pokemon-Y. In PokemonAmie there are ways to increase the affection of your pokemon. Is this the same thing as Pokemon Happiness that is used for happiness evolutions?
If not, is there a character that tells you how happy your pokemon is?
It's very cool. And very scary. You have to save and load several times in the Mystery Zone. And if you save in the wrong place your data is corrupt and you can't move
UNfortunately you can't get Arecus that way. I never bothered to get Shaymin
I recommend Greninja. After trying Chesnaught and finding he is, despite his stats, a (slow) glass cannon, and finding Delphox very ugly, I'd recommend Greninja only
Or Braxien with Evolite, if it's stats are even good with that. Braxien is cute at least
I know I want to get Charmander, but I'm not sure if I want Fennekin or Froakie. I kinda like Fennekin but I want to use my Charmander a lot and having my rival having a Water-type would kind of suck then. In addition, I want Torchic, and that'd be a lot of Fire. On the other hand, Froakie does become Water/Dark in his 3rd form, so that's cool (and goes well with the Y Legendary) but I'm not super keen on, well, frogs. I don't know what to dooooooooo.
I've no idea what I'm going to use as a main team.
I don't like it because it's an incredibly common move with no downside other than typing and it's super effective against a wide variety of things. Don't like things that are that excessively safe
@BenBrocka There's no singular depiction of them, but the Seelie and Unseelie Courts are different classifications of fairy types in folklore. Seelie would maybe be fairy/grass, but Unseelie would definitely be fairy/dark.
Despite his crippling 4x weakness to Rock, priority on Flying-type moves? If his ability means that he has the same priority as Pranksters, then he will be ridiculous.
I can see Talonflame being a counter to any Prankster Pokemon. His base 130 Speed means that he would most likely outspeed them and, if his ability works like I think it does, he can easily OHKO them before they get any moves off.
@BenBrocka Silly Jigglypuff, Fire is resistant to Fairy, so you just hit for neutral damage.
Kyurem-R is Dragon/Fire right? I didn't play B2W2.
Although he just doesn't match up against Fairy very well. Everything I've heard says that most Fairies have good Special Defense. And most Gengar movesets I've seen also pack Focus Blast, which Fairies resist as well.
Is there something where I can punch in 4 types and see what coverage I have? I know my types well but I have a hard time abstracting out what coverage I have with 4 moves
especially when dark/psychic/ghost overlap so much
So, I have a hypothesis about the elemental gems that needs testing.
Well, two actually.
One: If you repeatedly get the Normal Gem in that one spot in the Terminus Cave (it respawns daily), you might eventually start getting other elemental gems.
Two: There's a NPC somewhere that you can trade Normal Gems to in return for other elemental gems.
Also, am I remembering wrong when I think pokemon of the same level caught in the wild used to be weaker than those trained to that level? Or was that just an early way of explaining EVs?
@Yuki all I remember from gen 1&2 was loading my pokemon up with vitamins. beyond that... Skipped gen 3. Gen 4 I knew about them, but didn't really care too much. By gen 5 I was EV training when/where I could.
@Yuki Well aware, but like I said, all i ever did was farm the elite 4 for money, then loaded up on vitamins, then used the glitch to fight lvl 300+ pokemon for xp.
