I'm inclined to doubt it, unless a whole bunch of other stuff suddenly got it as an Egg move, because in Generation V, nothing in either of Sceptile's Egg Groups could get Close Combat. Of course, HG/SS did this sort of thing for Bulbasaur to get Sludge as an Egg move...

Pokémon Pokébank changes discussion thread

Said pokemon cannot be used online and nine times out of ten cannot be transfered.
Stop overreacting people, it's the same anti hack system in generation 5.
A quick check in the research thread shows that it cannot learn Dazzling Gleam TM.
I doubt Sceptile got Close Combat. The only new TM's it got were Confide and Power-Up Punch.
For gods sake the pentagon means you got it in your own game. If a pokemon doesnt have the pentagon it doesnt mean its hacked
Considering contrary serperior weren't littering the gen 5 wi-fi landscape I'll guess no.
It's worth specifying that it doesn't seem like everything can get through. I'm pretty sure that things with impossible EVs/IVs/Stats wont get through, it probably trims out things with impossible abilities (like i don't know huge power rattatas or whatever) and moves (here kyurem have ice punch)
also hall of origin arceus, apparently.
Nintendo is clearly staffed by brilliant people who thought it was a good idea to release the most anticipated app for the biggest games on the 3DS around Christmas, where a lot of people would be receiving new consoles and handhelds.
On the topic of Petal Blizzard Meganium, I'm not inclined to use it over other physical, bulky Grass types. There is absolutely no way it can compete with Virizion, hands down. Torterra suffers from a speed disadvantage, but STAB EQ and Stone Edge make it scarier to switch into. I personally would rather give that teamslot to BU Gogoat. It suffers from 4mss, but it has staying power that Meganium does not.

Meganium boasts Aromatherapy, however, which would allow it to act both as a cleric in addition to attacking physically.
Though I'm not sure it's good enough.
It's not really effective and Meganium sorely needs Return to do any sort of damage to Flying types. If you want a cleric with offensive prowess, Shaymin is a better choice.
GF is really pushing for Grassy Terrain in doubles, huh. Pretty much every Grass starter gets it too.
I have my own Grass Type-related questions that have gone unanswered or ignored:
-If I transfer my loveable Contrary Serperior from BW to XY (no weird stats/moveset), where won't I be able to use it?
-Can you SR the Celebi?
-Let's say I have a copy of X and a copy of Y, how many Celebis can I receive?
-Can I link both copies of X and Y to the same PokeBank account? (will that determine/limit how many Celebis I can get?)
I LOVE the Serperior love some people over here have! XD

-Battle Spot
-No, it keeps the IVs and Nature apparently, so no SR
-I don't know, but if you have 1 Bank account then 1, 2 then 2, 3 then 3, and so on
-Yeah, it's based off of some account thing (Club Nintendo?) (Yeah, might limit your Celebii's as I said before)
I don't have Pokebank, the information is all the stuff I gathered together from Serebii, GameFAQs, and here.
Something fast like Sceptile could use it and activate Grass Pelt on a partner Gogoat in Doubles and let it hit like a truck. I don't know, really, but Sceppy looks like the best user of GT because of speed
The Celebi from the HG/SS event are much better. The XY Celebi won't have Leaf Storm, Nasty Plot, Earth Power, Stealth Rock, or Trick....not to mention it likely won't have the advantage of flawless hidden powers. (And before you bitch at me for "but I don't have the event", there are plenty of legit ones available on Pokecheck.)
Thank you Wyvern56!
Guys keep in mind that Florges is also a user of the Terrain moves, using her will prevent the loss of two Grass types to a single Heat Wave.
Age of Kings, I never really messed around with Pokecheck, but I hope it's simple to use...

As much as I want this to be true, is this statement still accurate? Didn't news of Pokebank's release date being changed to TBD in Western countries came at 1:14 PM today (according to Serebii at least)?
The last update was this morning
I am relatively sure people have gone into the e-shop since then and seen it listed as TBD
I still can't get into the JP Eshop, lol. Keeps erroring.
Can NA/EU people? Or any other JP people having the same problem as me?

It is still basically down. Sometimes you can get on for a little bit before being kicked out by error codes
Everyone is having this problem, no doubt. Yesterday was Christmas.
