Do Articuno. The most competitive legendary ever.
Ehhh, really trying to stick to emerald, since I already used my masterball on mewtwo in my firered XD
Well if it HAS to be that way, Kyogre is nice and awesome.
Try a Groudon with Stealth Rock, Iron Head, Fire Punch, and Thunder Punch.
Well, looks like its a 1 all tie. Although, if its still undecided, I'll probably just choose rayquaza, just because I'm closer to it and I can catch it in more natures then I could the other two :]
Edit: also, from now on, send me a PM or a message on my profile with you opinion on what I should catch. Don't want to clog up the thread too much XD

I just caught this Adamant Zygarde with the following IV spread:
31/31/31/28-29/25/12
Keep or toss?
31/31/31/28-29/25/12
Keep or toss?
Toss. You definitely need the speed for DD, assuming you are as your going for adamant. Even if not DD, you still need the speed.
I'd toss. You should aim for flawless at least on HP/Speed and your main attacking stat.
Toss. Going Adamant means you wish go Dragon Dance, and you need the speed.
I think I'd be looking for max or close to max speed if I were you.
Toss, those IVs are terrible
It has been decided to be tossed, thanks for the honest input.
What is a good nature for a pixilate sylveon? I have one with modest already, but maybe another nature is better? I saw someone mention quick attack. Would that need an attack-boosting nature?
Just for the record, I wasn't complaining about the rules myself. In fact, I was worried that my wonder trade eevee might not be legitimate and asked to make sure before using it. (Pity it's not, I'll probably just release it.)

If you're not using a +SpA nature, you should be using a +Def or +SpD nature. Sylveon's attack is far too low to be useable
So quick attack is no good then?
It's not going be very useful competitively, but it's remarkably good if you weren't trying to get good IVs
Yeah, unlike M-Pinsir, Sylveon doesn't have the stats to use Quick Attack
Okay, Was just wondering. I thought it was weird that it was suggested for something with such a low attack stat.
Come to think of it, I read something a while back about quick attack being used on a bold vaporeon. That doesn't sound useful, either. Is there something I'm missing here?
Gotta disagree...quick attack hits reasonably hard when its super effective and provides priority that can be very useful especially if something already took a hit coming in. I wouldnt suggest a physical sylveon but it definitely has a niche
Is it just because its lacking more 31 ivs?
I did soft reset a few times wanting perfect special atk/spd with the same nature.
The cons far outweigh the pros as far as physical Sylveon is concerned.
Ah, so it's for weakened opponents? Too bad sylveon doesn't have a special version of quick attack. Why aren't there more special priority moves?
Im not suggesting physical...but a quiet nature isnt taking away anything useful and gives you a stab priority move that can make the difference when its hitting for se damage and youre at risk of getting poisoned by some special wall coming in to eat the hypervoice
Edit: Also, since that didnt really address what you said I meant quick attack has a niche...not physical sylveon
