It basically says, Pokemon that were born ingame, caught ingame, or received from events ingame will have the pentagon, which qualifies it for use in official battles.Are there any new details about the Kalos pentagon revealed in this? Skip to 2:00.
In particular, does it say anything about non-pentagon pokemon in the battle spot?
It retains the last type it became before Protean.if greninja loses protean, does it become water/dark again or retain the last type it was changed to?
I used Mega Lucario and Mega Venusaur in my first play-through. I think that having one mega would be better, but 2 is not detrimental if you want to use 2. 3 or more is probably too many.Does anyone have any experience using multiple mega evolutions in a playthrough? I was wondering about trading to use mega blastoise and mega charizard in a runthrough. In that case I assume it's not really a problem as almost all trainers ingame have a type class and M. Char X and M. Blastoise have very different usage. It seems like a much worse idea to use mega Gengar and mega alakazam on the same team for instance.
Does anyone have any first hand experience?
I've been a longtime user of the safari IRC, and I can tell you that the problem is that the game has now been out for a while, during which time most people have already found all the safaris they need and are sitting with a full friend list, at which point they are no longer eager to swap friend codes except to trade.Ok I know this isn't the thread for this, but I am down on my luck.
Look I need a Ditto safari so I can start breeding Pokemon.
I have gone through the entire smogon safari list to find people and their are only a handful active users on there with Ditto safaris, none of them interested in sharing friend codes anymore. No one on the IRC channel seems to have any, at best they can manually trade me dittos from their safaris.
Look I know a lot of you guys breed on this site, can you just tell me who the heck you are getting the ditto safaris from.
People may sometimes include "second choice options' on egg moves to drive up the value of their product; 'trade for my Riolu, it has extra bells and whistles" Unless people suddenly started using HJK over Close Combat competitvely, I see no reason for extra moves sometimes other than adding variability and an extra choice. Close Combat out damages Blaze Kick against both Ferrothorn and Skarmory, plus it's stab and therefore gets the Adaptability boost, but a reason to be running blaze kick would be an option to get past Forretress or Scizor. Hi Jump Kick would be for those who dislike the defense drop from Close Combat and aren't worried about Ghosts, Protect, or missing.I'm trying to breed a perfect Riolu which I plan to use as Mega Lucario. I decided that while I'm at it, I might as well put in egg moves. My question is that which egg moves are best for it? I am aware Bullet Punch and Crunch are two of the most popular choices, but the other two are still up in the air. I'm seeing a lot of people breeding Riolus with High Jump Kick and Blaze Kick, but I don't understand why these are useful for Lucario.
Depends on the game, and whether you're planning on RNG abusing it or not.Hi all,
I was thinking of EV training a Gyarados and was wondering if there is any point breeding a Magikarp or just catching one in the wild with the right nature?-As you can already catch Magikarp at such a low level.
Thanks
If you're bothering with EVs, you should probably bother catching/breeding a Magikarp with good IVs as well. Breeding is definitely easier when trying to get good IVs (Breeding is easiest in XY, due to the new Destiny Knot mechanics).Hi all,

Ok I am trying to breed Tentacool and something is going wrong when I am using the "time machine" method.
This is what I did:
1. Breed 2 magikarps holding an everstone and destiny knot
2. bike until the guy gets the egg
3. reject the egg, save
4. bike until the guy gets another egg
5. check which stats each parent gives the the child, reset if undesired pattern
6. Repeat steps 2-5 until I got the pattern I wanted: female gives HP and Male gives Special attack and speed
The thing is, its not working. Currently if I make an egg and hatch it, and then check it, the Magikarp will always have the same pattern. So, after resetting, I take the Magikarps out, put in a female Tentacool with 31 HP and male with 31 speed and special attack, holding everstone and destiny knot.
I should be getting a Tentacool with 31 HP, Special Attack, and Speed right now, but I am only getting one's with perfect Speed.
Simply put, what the heck am I doing wrong here?
After you battle the legendary bird without catching it, ie it faints, you run, or your team faints, then it dissapears without another chance of catching it. If you have saved your game after you defeated it, then it's gone. If you saved sometime before, but not after, then you wuold be able to return to that earlier save state.So I spent forever trying to get Articuno to rest at the Sea Spirit's Den, but I didn't save beforehand. Wanting to soft reset for IVs, etc I just ran from the battle, and now it says that Articuno's location is unknown in the Pokedex. Did I screw up?
I tried beating the Elite Four again as well as restarting. Neither moved Articuno back to the Den.
Wow.After you battle the legendary bird without catching it, ie it faints, you run, or your team faints, then it dissapears without another chance of catching it. If you have saved your game after you defeated it, then it's gone. If you saved sometime before, but not after, then you wuold be able to return to that earlier save state.
If you did save afterwards, you can always trade another legendary or high value mon on GTS for an Articuno (this is very easy if you don't mind letting go of your zyguarde/yveltal/xerneas/mewtwo and soon with pokemonbank, other legendaries) and hope to eventually get one that has a satisfactory IV spread. Good luck :)
I've never been a big legendary person myself, but at least in BW2 they gave you two chances to catch the muskateers, and i believe in HGSS the dogs would keep running till you caught them? but yea, it is kind of dissapointing, and if you want I can trade you my Zapdos which you can use as currency since I have no real use for itWow.
I already have the trio in Black 2, but I wanted to get Articuno to trade for Xerneas. After all the effort to get it to show up, I can't believe that it's just gone. I'm not one to get mad at Gamefreak for their design choices, but this one might convince me to.
Time to trade my Yveltal / Zygarde then.
I really want to say that this was only a thing starting with platinum.If Palkia is defeated or if I run away from it in Pearl, will it appear after the Elite Four as some legendaries do in other games? Sorry if this isn't the right section, but I wasn't sure where the most appropriate place to post this would be.
