Thanks for the help!
Another stupid question related to my last stupid question.
If I were to upgrade my 3DS to an XL and transfer all the save data and such, would things get messed up? I'm asking because I'm considering getting an XL but I don't want to mess up my Pokemon games.
It would not. All game- and ds data is transferred, including time and date settings, so the game would treat it as the same ds.
If you where to encounter a shiny Rayquaza in pokemon Omega Ruby or Alpha Saphire, would the space cut scene feature a shiny- or a regular rayquaza?
Doesn't matter for the cutscene, as Ray is shiny locked in ORAS.
WideTomato I'm pretty sure Ray is shiny-locked for this reason...
Actually, I'm pretty sure all shiny locks are locked because of cutscenes (why shiny lock Moltres/Articuno/Zapdos in XY then though?)

That actually makes a lot of sense. I guess the the birds was shiny locked because of how you encounter them. You encounter it as an ordinary bird the first time, and for it to suddenly be shiny would be a minor plot hole. I mean they could have made it so that it is encounter-able as shiny the first time you run into it but that would make soft resetting for IV's impossible...
Edit: whelp, this is my post number 404... I should have made something grand out of it.
Is it possible to reach route 15 in pokemon XY before taking on the 6th gym?
Nope. Just use Thumper to wreck Valerie (may need to grind a bit if he's been in your PC)
Is it possible to get a female Serperior from the event? I would love to breed a Cherish Ball Snivy...
Yes, but Cherish Ball cannot be bred unfortunately.
Cherish and Master Ball can't be passed down, and just results in a regular Poke Ball on the offspring.
Is this worth using for the Battle Maison, or should I not use it?
It's Shiny GameStop event
It should be fine, but I don't know if Suicune would really hate the speed loss (against certain threats - I don't know which ones). It may do well as a Calm Mind + Rest set (is that what people call "Crocune?") in singles. I'm pretty sure the crown beasts were nature-locked, so if the negative speed nature kills it, I'm sure someone in the WiFi section would be willing to trade a better one. Anyway, I'm sure others will let you know if it's worth using.
Ah, OK :)
I've been planning to have..
252 HP, 252 Defense, 4 SP. Attack with Rest, Sleep Talk, Calm Mind, & Scald (Leftovers)

In that case, I don't think Suicune really cares all that much about speed. Maybe a quick glance at the SmogonDex would prove fruitful (in any generation).
EDIT:
Yeah, the preferred nature for a "CroCune" is Bold. However, there is an older BW set for your specific Crown Beast for use in doubles. Maybe you should check it out and compare the two (maybe run a few calcs) to ultimately decide what you want this Suicune to do and how to do it.
BW Suicune

Hm.
It's not letting me put it through Poke transfer..
Is it because of its moves
Sheer Cold
Air Slash
Extreme speed
Aqua Ring
?

All my shiny event beasts got through (as did everyone else's), therefore it must be hacked
Hello:
I am in the process of RNG'ing my Thundurus in pokemon white. I cant decide between 31/0/30/31/31/31 (HP Ice 68) Timid, or 31/2/30/31/31/31 (HP Ice 70). Regardless of which one I choose, if one of these Thundurus is sent to ORAS through Poke Bank it will have HP Ice 60 regardless of which spread I choose, correct?

Hidden Power will always have a base power of 60 in Gen VI. IVs only affect the type now.
Yeah so definitely go with the 0 attack spread.
In the future, it's probably best to ask in the Wi-Fi simple questions thread. There's also a thread for RNGing incase you ever need help
The moveset is legit; so is the nature...
Have you used any external tools (action replay, pokegen etc.) to EV train it or raise IVs? You might want to check its evs, ivs, trainer id and PID.
about to breed up a shiny Bisharp. What ball would match it best? Pondering between a dive ball (blue/white) and the net ball (blue/white/black) or something else if you can recommend a better one. (Too bad moon ball is perfect)
