from serebii: "The official site has updated and has announced that, across Japan, various O Powers are to be distributed to players at special events. These O Powers are at Level 2, making them more powerful and make them last long. First is HP Recovery Power which increases the amount you heal by 50%. Next is PP Recovery Power which increases the amount of PP recovered. Finally, there is Prize Money Power which increases the amount of money won in battles."
so seems like pass powers are back

I have a new feature that hopefully many of you will find useful in the weeks to come!
I've been using the same method to collect and organize FCs for AC:NL for almost four months.
Pokémon XY FC Compendium
What do you think? If you have questions or suggestions, leave me a profile message!
You can find these links in the first post of this thread. My signature also contains a link to this post.
If you see anything inappropriate on the spreadsheet, leave me a profile message.
Two weeks left, woo!

- Complete this short form to automatically record your username, 3DS information, and time zone.
- Every time someone enters a new FC, it will automatically appear on this spreadsheet. It is updated in real time.
- You can see the statistical breakdown of Pokémon X vs. Pokémon Y here. I thought this was a cool bonus!

Let's see here.
Clefable @ Leftovers
Magic Guard
252 HP 4 Sp Attack 252 Def
Bold Nature
Assuming Normal/Fairy or Fairy typing
Stored Power/Psyshock
Draining Kiss
Focus Blast/Fire Blast
Calm Mind
I can see that actually working quite well. An improved typing with decent bulk, especially when you factor in the immunity to weather and status damage, perfect coverage, a new STAB healing attack, an ever multiplying Stored Power with Calm Mind.
Take out those steel types and see how it goes :D

Well we actually knew about O Powers back innnn July? I think?
e:
yeah we knew about these

So Ghost types can switch out from even Trapping Abilities such as Shadow Tag. That makes Honedge and Doublade are the first Steel types to be able to switch out of Magnezone's Magnet Pull without the use of Shed Shell. That and it has perfect type coverage with both STABs and Sacred Sword.
Well...thanks for remembering me that Clefable exists lol
I was thinking of using a fairy type in-game and nothing better than the original fairy in pokemon
edit: the only time i used it before was in a nuzlocke normal run in pokemon red or blue(don't remember)...it was raticate(traded a lv 5 ratatta to be my "starter"), fearow, wiglytuff, snorlax, clefable, and a water type just for surf.

Also Doublade to be able run/switch from Dugtrio arena trap must be?
Yep. That too. Probably Fire Spin too. But we'll need to test that first.
Is that official? The website just says moves can't prevent ghosts from fleeing. I haven't heard anything regarding trapping abilities or switching out.
Masuda said abilities the site says moves
So probably both.
So probably both.
$47 in the 3DS Eshop. Gonna be one hell of a weekend.
I think for the first time I might actually be excited to use a Clefable.
Has anyone noticed the love for normal types this generation? Fire/Normal, Electric/Normal, Fairy/Normal, and there may be that pokebeach rumored poison/normal. (did I miss any?) Are we possibly getting an influx of usable/varied normal types to combat the newly boosted ghost types?

They wouldn't be very normal if they had exciting type match ups.
I think the boon to Ghost types and the addition to Fairy Types may have threatened Normal Types early in the planning stages of XY. To me, Normal Type has always been the 'jack of all trades' type so there had to be things done to keep it at the epicenter of types; not too great, but not too bad.
Possessing only one weakness, large movepools and some of the most diverse actual effects makes up for Normal not being an exciting STAB. The problem with normal types has always been that they don't get many 'mons with decent high BSTs, not their type match-up.
I indeed believe this is the case. I expect even some older Normals gaining secondary typings. Normal/Fairy, Normal/Poison, and I expect even a Normal/Ghost, new sorts of Normals - probably even several with amazing stat distributions and possibly some having a (very) high BST.
I actually believe a Normal/Poison will be very plausible because GF will not have forgotten Gengar and very well know it might dominate if left untouched.
Wait- what's $47 in the 3DS Eshop?
I'm actually not fond of the gold would bud I would make little 3ds's with the blue one. I'm in love with that thing.
It will have respectable DEFENSE not defenses. Generally steel types as a whole have crappy spdef but amazing def.lol same with rock types actually... You know what now I'm thinking about what typing as a whole has the best special defense
Accidental double post!

Famitsu page update today with what looks like the new youngster/shorts boy art.
That's my favorite of the bunch too, but I still haven't decided which one I want yet (if any). It'll probably just come down to me nabbing the cheapest one I can find right before release.
Not anything groundbreaking, but I just saw this picture and I thought it was kind of interesting because I'd never seen Yveltal with his mouth open before:

(also wow i'm stupid because i'd never even noticed Yveltal's mouth and now all i can see in his Sugimori artwork is his malicious smirk)
