AAAAAAAAAGH

Looking at all the Vivillon trades in the GTS, so many want Legendaries for them. T_T

...is Rattata in this game?

Unionhawk

@FAE I don't think so.

The people want legendaries or pokemon from previous generations

FAE

@Unionhawk I thought you weren't allowed to put in pokemon you hadn't seen in the GTS.

Oh I see

Unionhawk

You can ask for them manually.

Yuki

@BenBrocka Hax.

Ben Brocka

Also the battle maison reportedly cheats

Yuki

00:51

@BenBrocka There was one video of a Walrein hitting 3 OHKO-moves (Fissure, Sheer Cold, etc.) in a row.

A: Clothing stores never change products

This is a quirk in how the shops work; the displays rotate every day, but they will not rotate to an item you have already purchased. This means that the day after you buy them out, their stock will remain the same forever. Confusingly, stock will not always rotate to the next new item, however....

@Yuki that's just mean

Yuki

> So trainers can learn to do the impossible, see the invisible, and roh roh fight da powah by winning such difficult battles.

Ben Brocka

I like the battle maison for the most part but some fights have seemed kinda BS

haven't spotted 5 moves though

Yuki

Ben Brocka

though I have NO idea how I'm going to beat a team full of Uber legendary pokemon with no legendaries of my own

Yuki

00:54

@BenBrocka Mind Reader + Sheer Cold Articuno, go!

Also, 3 Wobbuffets?

Oh wait, no duplicate Pokemon.

Ben Brocka

I did meet an Aggron with Focus Sash and Metal Burst

my least favorite was a roost/thunderwave dragonite

I don't have ice moves so that was basically impossible

wait on the stat screen is blue the increased or decreased stat?

I assumed blue=increased but my Jolly seasel has blue sp attack

Yuki

@BenBrocka Red is increased.

Ben Brocka

Oh, I've been reading them backwards this whole time, not that it matters

my randomly natured Charizard is worse than I thought and my hydreigon better but squishier to special attack

There should be a list of pokemon that are walls but don't look like it. Never would have guessed the defensive stats of leafeon or umbreon

Yuki

01:16

@BenBrocka Florges maybe?

Ben Brocka

okay when you said that I was expecting s def but not 154

Yuki

Yeah. She's got SpD better than a lot of Ubers.

Ben Brocka

uh does walking in a circle with soothe bell still work?

Yuki

@BenBrocka It should.

If you're talking about raising ~~affection~~ happiness, that is.

Ben Brocka

yeah

took sneasel on a 5 minute bikeride and she's still at 2 hearts

fortunately it's making her hungry though

Q: What Pokemon in X & Y have access to Signature moves?

Kinda curious about this. I know Greninja gets Mat Block and Water Shuriken (signature moves). What Pokemon in X&Y have access to signature moves, and what are the moves?

Yuki

01:44

@StackExchange Love how that one guy just posts a link-only answer as I'm halfway through typing mine up.

Fluttershy

Wrong room!

Unionhawk

@Yuki Gotta love it.

Yuki

Also, finally added all the links to my answer.

There were a lot more signature moves than I expected.

Although I believe some will be eliminated since we just don't know all the Egg Moves yet.

Especially since quite a few Pokemon aren't available for discovering Egg Moves.

OrigamiRobot

02:00

@StackExchange I love how this guy asks terrible questions

Yuki

I think Retrosaur has asked the most pokemon-xy questions.

Ben Brocka

02:27

@Yuki that's...unfortunate

Ben Brocka

03:02

@Yuki will I recognize good IVs on a pokemon at level 1 just from base stats?

C-dizzle

3 more shiny in about the past hour! I think I might evolve the Poliwag into a Politoed

OrigamiRobot

@C-dizzle And one actually looks different from the original!

C-dizzle

@OrigamiRobot I know right... once I get my Politoed, I know that color is much different from the original

Ben Brocka

03:24

OMG same trainer different pokemon is so insanely slow for eggs

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka eh?

Ben Brocka

just took like 10 trips back and forth for a ditto and sneasel from the same trainer to make an egg

for different trainers it's like 2

maybe it was a fluke though, these last two were much quicker

FAE

Someone on reddit traded me a Sun Vivillon for my Polar. :DDD

Ben Brocka

cool!

FAE

03:46

Is this 3DS capture kit legit, anyone know? Friend of mine is asking.

@BenBrocka, I figure you might know.

Ben Brocka

@FAE I've heard of people getting them sucessfully, haven't bit the bullet yet though

FAE

@BenBrocka Getting and working too?

Krazer

@FAE there are others like this one

Ben Brocka

@FAE pretty sure, there are several people with working ones, I assume they get them from that thing

Krazer

don't trust anything where you don't see the actual product, videos help too

FAE

03:58

@Krazer Thanks

Krazer

needless to say modding your system is required

Krazer

06:16

@BenBrocka in that case...

three new legendaries

Latios and Latias get megas it seems

kotaku.com/…

dunno how I missed this

Unionhawk

06:42

@Krazer People are already asking for Volcanion in the GTS. It's ridiculous.

Krazer

bicthes be trippin'!

Unionhawk

And it doesn't even filter out on "ignore special pokemon". Not yet, at least, I hope.

Q: Tyrunt vs Aerodactyl

So I just got these two Pokemon and can't decide at all which one I want to keep, they are both just so awesome sniff. So I guess what it would come down to is... which one of these two are stronger? Aerodactyl will eventually get his mega form, which I hear has the highest speed stat out of al...

Q: Increase Poké Miles yield from Streetpass?

What determines how many Poké Miles you earn from Streetpasses, and is it possible to increase it? I ask because I always only earn a single Poké Mile per hit, which seems hilariously low considering any kind of online interaction yields far, far higher numbers - I think a single Wonder Trade yi...

C-dizzle

14:26

So I finally got a Pikachu with a light ball, now I'm trying to decide which nature to breed for with volt tackle

Ben Brocka

14:41

@C-dizzle sp attack? He won't survive long if it doesn't OHKO

@SamyamA We have a whole big list of friendcodes actually: docs.google.com/spreadsheet/…

C-dizzle

@BenBrocka I was thinking either something with +atk or +sp atk

Ben Brocka

Oh right forgot light ball is attack too

I'd do attack so Volt Tackle is as strong as possible

IF you use Substitute with Static will contact moves to the sub paralyze?

C-dizzle

I really need to look at IV breeding with this one I think. Usually I only focus on EV training.

@BenBrocka Good question

Ben Brocka

Not sure IV breeding will make a huge difference, it's stats are pretty low to begin with

C-dizzle

I never really understood IV breeding, EV on the other hand is much easier.

Ben Brocka

14:54

@C-dizzle I think I have a 3 or 4 perfect IV sneasel if you want it for breeding. Not attack though.

Wish Sneasel learned more 120 BP physical attacks. Or any, really. Amazing attack stats, limited move pool

C-dizzle

@BenBrocka Sure! I wouldn't be able to get it until a little later, at least until I get on my lunch break

Ben Brocka

I won't be able to give it for another 8 hours anyway

C-dizzle

Any dex entries you need for trade?

Ok thats fine

Ben Brocka

gliscor is the big one I'm missing

Or the non-articuno birds

C-dizzle

I don't have any of those :/

What about Politoed? Poliwrath?

Gorebyss?

Samyam A

15:04

@BenBrocka Thanks for the list. How do I tell these folks to add me back !

C-dizzle

@SamyamA I will add you later when I get a chance, my FC is on that list.

Samyam A

@C-dizzle Thank you will add you right away.

C-dizzle

@SamyamA I get a break from work in 2 more hours, will add you then.

Ben Brocka

@SamyamA just ask 'em in chat if you see 'em or they might just add you when they see new people

Samyam A

@BenBrocka OK, sure.

@BenBrocka On that note can you add me :P

Ben Brocka

15:12

yeah, when I'm home

Samyam A

Great thanks

C-dizzle

@SamyamA do you know what type of safari you have by chance?

Samyam A

@C-dizzle Sorry nope, nobody told me till now.

C-dizzle

@SamyamA I've got you added

You have Rock type

Samyam A

@C-dizzle Thanks and thats good to know

Any idea wat my pokes are?

C-dizzle

15:26

Just found that out too lol...

Shuckle, Magcargo and Dwebble

Samyam A

time to update that sheet then

Yuki

15:57

@SamyamA You have SHUCKLE!

@C-dizzle I would actually think about going Special Attack on Pikachu. He's so fragile that he won't survive against anything that isn't OHKO'd, so Volt Switch might be a good option for a hit-and-run set.

Samyam A

16:19

@Yuki - Yeah a perfect Def,Sp.Def IV'd Shuckle. Thats the dream :P

Yuki

@SamyamA Shouldn't be too hard to achieve. I had this wicked moveset in mind with Shuckle, the only drawback being that I couldn't get one.

Samyam A

@Yuki You should get one at Terminus Cave!! anyways add me and you can catch one with 2 Perfect IV'd stats.

Yuki

@SamyamA Yeah, but my moveset requires the hidden ability, so non-Safari Shuckle are no good.

Samyam A

@Yuki - More reason to add me as a friend :P

Yuki

No problem. I'm at work right now, so I won't be able to add you for another hour or so. Your FC is on the spreadsheet, right?

Samyam A

16:23

yup leave yours there so that I can add you as well.

Yuki

It should already be on there.

Q: What does a "Team Flare Bag" do in Super Training?

It says - "For some reason knocking the stuffing out of this bag feels so good" in the description. Considering its rarity I dont want to waste it if it is any good, so anyone has any idea what this thing is for?

pokemon-xy

Samyam A

ok added.

FAE

17:04

@SamyamA Welcome to the room! Mind if I add you too?

Yuki

17:27

Hmm... wonder if we should a disclaimer to the spreadsheet: "Putting your FC on this spreadsheet gives explicit permission for others to add your Friend Code."

FAE

@Yuki One would think that's implied, yeah, but someone made a note in there to tell them if you add them.

Yay, got my Sun Scatterbug evolved into the Vivillon!

Yuki

@FAE I think we can take him as an exception to the (unspoken) rule.

OrigamiRobot

17:42

Pretty sure they only said that so they'd know when to add people back.

i.e. "I don't want to check this all the time so tell me if you add me"

C-dizzle

18:22

I finally got my hands on that "strange souvenir" from one of the NPCs in a hotel. Everything he said before I got it is leaving my curiosity peaked!

Krazer

19:02

@C-dizzle oh the backpacker?

i wonder if it's going to be like the lock capsule

Samyam A

@FAE Sure you can add me

Yuki

19:31

Yuki

19:49

C-dizzle

20:55

@Krazer No idea... all the messages he says before he give you the souvenir makes it sound like there is another region to be revealed.

3 of the key things he says was "Kalos is cool but you should check out my region. It isn't Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh or Unova." and "The champion in my region..." and "you'll see it in due time"

Yuki

@C-dizzle Gen VII confirmed (i.e. Nintendo's not going broke and they're going to make another Pokemon game)

C-dizzle

@Yuki When was it confirmed?

Unionhawk

@C-dizzle The next generation of pokemon is pretty much continuously confirmed, no?

Yuki

@C-dizzle I'm just playing off the constant "<insert-thing-here> confirmed." meme that's infested r/Pokemon.

C-dizzle

@Yuki Ah, gotcha.

Unionhawk

21:02

@Yuki 3 NEW LEGENDARIES HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED

C-dizzle

@Unionhawk Well if you put it that way, then yes.

Well I just know with the whole souvenir thing, it really has a lot of people thinking.

Madara Uchiha

21:27

Where do I find "bill" in X/Y?

Yuki

@MadaraUchiha Cassius is in... Camphrier, I believe.

Madara Uchiha

Thanks, found him

Who can help me evolve my Haunter?

Krazer

@MadaraUchiha I have some time... lemme see if I can get on

Madara Uchiha

hold on finishing a battle

Krazer

@MadaraUchiha ready

@MadaraUchiha finish them off with your splash attack

Madara Uchiha

21:38

Zen Headbutt works too :D

Yuki

Use Tail Whip!

Krazer

@MadaraUchiha that's very thoughtful move

Yuki

Which did damage in the first couple episodes of the anime, IIRC.

Madara Uchiha

@Krazer It's also mistranslated

The actual translation says "Hop"

Yuki

@MadaraUchiha Magikarp is more like to "splash" than "hop", I think.

Madara Uchiha

21:41

@Yuki Hophip?

Also, splash implies it's a water type

When it's actually normal :)

Krazer

@Yuki flop

Yuki

Magikarp was the premier (read: only) user of Splash in Gen I.

Krazer

@MadaraUchiha there'as an achievement for keeping splash on Pokemon GL it seems

Madara Uchiha

Aight Axya, trade request sent

Yuki

So it's an artifact of adaptation. The translators obviously thought "hop" wouldn't work for a fish Pokemon, so they translated it as "Splash" instead.

Madara Uchiha

21:43

@Krazer you set?

Krazer

@MadaraUchiha hai

Madara Uchiha

Trade me then :)

@MadaraUchiha Yes, Master

Madara Uchiha

If you have something you want to evolve as well :) Now's the time

Krazer

@MadaraUchiha working on an alakazham

Madara Uchiha

21:49

Domo, @Krazer

Want anything else? :)

Krazer

@MadaraUchiha not really but here's a togepi for you

Madara Uchiha

Thanks :)

Krazer

should have at 2-3 perfect ivs

s atk, def, and either hp or sdef

I'm not deep enough to know

Yuki

Ugh, breeding this Zorua is just an exercise in frustration.

The RNG manipulation isn't really helpful either.

Krazer

@Yuki how so?

Yuki

21:53

@Krazer You know you're supposed to replace the female with hatched females with better IVs every time you do your breeding cycle?

Honestly, you could do either male or female, but I'm using females so I can pass down the Luxury Ball.

Anyways, Zorua has a 87.5% male, 12.5% female distribution.

Krazer

@Yuki I had that problem trying to breed a female solar power charmander D:

Yuki

@Krazer Luckily for me, I got a Modest 5/6 Solar Power Charmander through a Wonder Trade. :D

Krazer

@Yuki Lucky~ Mine's Timid xD

Yuki

Check all your L1 Wonder Trade Pokemon. They might have been part of someone's breeding stock so they could have surprisingly good IVs.

Krazer

@Yuki I haven't had much luck it seems

Madara Uchiha

21:59

Bah, you can't fly to victory road :X

Yuki

I might try an easier breeding project after this. Like Flabebe or something.

Krazer

I do have an eevee I need to check out... at lvl 1 it's 12 and all 6 with a serious nature

Yuki

Sigh, another batch of all-male Zorua.

Krazer

@Yuki I'll take one of those... "failures"

Madara Uchiha

@Yuki I might have a female zoroark.

Nope, male sorry :X

Krazer

22:06

down with the injustice that's skewed gender distribution!

Yuki

@MadaraUchiha I have quite a few female Zoroark. Just none with a good IV distribution.

Mostly one here or two there.

Doesn't make for easy breeding or RNG abuse.

Finally! A 4/6 IV female Zorua!

Now I can abuse the RNG to my heart's content!

Krazer

I don't get it... why can't Gengar Sky Battle when it has Levitate?

Yuki

@Krazer Doesn't have a "flying" animation.

Same reason why Hawlucha can learn Fly but not participate in Sky Battles.

His battle animation shows him standing on the ground with two feet.

On a related note:

Krazer

@Yuki that's silly

Fluttershy

23:24

Anybody need a Charmander? I just got two from Wonder Trade.
