Hey folks. Just need some quick help trade evolving my Boldore. Wouldn't mind adding someone new to get the job done, but I literally only have one more slot for a new friend. Would prefer to trade with someone who I'm already friends with, and I know that at least 90% of my friend list is accumulated from Smogon.
Thank you, I'm coming online now.
thanks, but i went to bed and now i have my zapdos! ty for the offer though and for doing this giveaway, it's really cool of you.
posting this again:
I am looking for a Shiny, Swift Swim Politwag/whirl/toed in a Dive Ball. I know its a stretch finding one, but hes my favorite Pokemon, and I had one I bred myself on my previous game that I lost so Im going for a replacement without the hours and hours of breeding. Since I'm new to the game again, I dont have a ton to trade, but I would be willing to trade both of the following together for one:
Mewtwo - Caught in the Pokeball of your choice, holding Mewtwonite Y
Yveltal - Caught in Timer ball holding any other Y Mega Stone of your choice.
Just message me if you have one! Ill take a clone without hesitation.

What is a good suggestion for my first breeding project?
Do your favorite pokemon(seems to be Blaziken so do Torchics)
Perhaps one of your favorite Pokemon? That's always a good place to start. If not, then I guess it depends on which tier you plan on playing.
I'd recommend trying with something that doesn't require an HA (hidden ability) to be useful, but is powerful and widely liked. Something like gastly or honedge come to mind.
torchics can be a pain though because they're only 1/8 female. it's easy to get discouraged if a difficult pokemon is your first project, i think.
i agree with EnGarde. something without a low female ratio, that doesn't hatch in a baby form (unless it's incense-triggered and you can avoid it), that doesn't have a really high step count for hatching, and that doesn't require a hidden ability or complicated breeding chains to be useful. unless you have easy access to HA pokemon and want to go for it, like something in one of your friend safaris. something that's popular can also help you acquire a pool of good IV parents from other people. and if you have a few pokemon you like that all share an egg group, maybe start with one of them, and use the resulting males as parents for the others. once you get a few good parents to use, it because a lot less work to breed difficult pokemon.
Well,I won't care about genders with pokemkn without pokeballs except pokeballs,both genders can pass it,so it should not be too much of a problem,my first project was Torchics,even though it ought to have been gibles
Here's all of them (this is probably your best bet right now).
Hidden grotto & gen3/4/5 encounter slot tables (csv/xls and htm format)
only mothers can pass poke balls, and only mothers can pass hidden abilities unless the parents are male+ditto. even if neither of those things matter, if you aren't getting a lot of females from eggs then it's hard to upgrade the female parent as you get eggs with better IVs, and your only other option is ditto.
Why not use the ditto?
because you can't breed dittos and you'd have to try to catch a good IV one yourself. you could get one from someone else, but for this discussion i was assuming no access to pokemon from other people, since having a limited pool of pokemon to work with is pretty much the only thing that makes any first project hard. also, you can't get a pretty poke ball from ditto :p
I have a bunch of dittos, so that's good. I have a bunch of spitbacks from wonder trade, and i do have quite a few safaris with good pokes, like fletchinder, and some starters.
Yes you can pass the ball if its a female breeding with a ditto
i meant a male can't pass on a ball with ditto. i was talking about breeding males with ditto because of a lack of good females to use.
then this entire conversation is useless!! lol. just pick something, make sure you know what you're getting into (unlike me when i chose elekids as my first project) and you'll be fine :p
Why is elekid bad? ;) I was possibly gonna try it?
That would be great, thanks. What would you like in return?
Those are perfect, I think i can get you the love ball chansey.
You have to evolve the babies, since they can't breed. Leveling up to 30 every time you need a new parent is a lot more time than breeding something else
Very true. I bred riolu a while ago, and it was similarly challenging because it used up a lot of my happiness berries.
EDIT:
EDIT: Also, about your breeding dittos: do you have one that has 6 perfect 31 IVs? Because breeding with any old ditto doesn't help much with competitive breeding, just breeding with a perfect ditto.
