Hello all! I have played Pokémon for quite some time and played gen V ubers in the past. Now I'm looking to get into breeding and playing Battle Mason, but I am really lost on how to get started. I don't really have any friends that can trade me Pokémon with good IVs to start off and I don't have any friend safari's either. So I'm looking for some tips on how to get started with breeding.

Hey! You can start by checking out the giveaway section, you can start finding free stuff there. Otherwise, in ORAS, you can chain nav pokemon for decent IVs and egg moves, and then continue breeding them. Ask most for a flawless ditto, that should help with the breeding :) I don't have time now to give some spitbacks I have, but PM me in a couple of days and I could you some for free :)
If it's the actual breeding mechanics that are worrying you, there are a couple of good guides out there, I'll edit my post with the links :P
Any idea for what nature and(if necessary) HP IVs spread should run a Dream World Cotton Guard Banette?After Arceus, I'm going to RNG it.
Sadly don't own ORAS, only Y. But I'll ask for a flawless ditto, that should get me started.
ah, yeah that's less fun for HA... You can ask for FS on reddit I think, and as I said, check on the giveaways, Rufusdrumknott is giving away a lot of spitbacks right now :)
Sorry for sounding like a scrub, but what do you mean with HA?
'Hidden Ability', which in Gen V was only available through dreamworld

L+R+START
Either adamant or brave 0 speed. honestly, prankster destiny bond is mega banette's biggest draw, and you lose that option with the DW one
Oooh duh. Thanks!

- Level Ball Chatot preferable with egg moves such as Nasty Plot
FT (any breedable Pokemon in a pokeball or Moon Ball Gastly with Perish Song, Reflect Typ and Disable)
in case of a perfect breed I can also offer a perfect breed in exchange

Can someone give me a link to the .com's TMBM guide? For some reason i can't download the one in his signature.
Yes, I know that, but Cotton Guard is a unique move for Banette, and for collection(and maybe trading) purpose I want to know a nature and moveset that take advantage of it, even though it may be useless.:P
Best machamp pokeball??..also anyone with a link to pokeball sprites available in oras..uncle google isn't much help
Everyone uses Serebii for Pokeball sprites, but I'm not sure why because they're not aligned properly. I much prefer Bulbapedia's.

They're misaligned because Serebii is dumb, he still won't fix Kyogre and Tropius.
(I'm personally partial to
)

I also use Bulbapedia's Pokeball sprites or direct rips from the game itself.

I like Heavy Ball a lot. Also, in the ball sprite discussion here, I have Serebii's sprites in my thread, because that is what comes with -=Blu-='s forum assist program or whatever it is called, you know, that trade thread thingy.
Probably no value since he doesn't even have pivoting moves or such things
If it has low IVS on speed and everything else is perfect I would keep.
I prefer Moon, but Lux or Net look pretty good as well I think :)
Luxray? Luxury! It's even (partially) in the name!
Great or lux fits best
