I know pokebank (or whatever the transfer tool is called) lasts for a year. If I purchase this now, does it last until the end of December this year, or do I get it until the end of May 2015 (12 months after the month I purchase it)?

Also, can someone explain what scorpionede is? Everyone's talking about it on the baton pass thread (OU).
Well, considering it says that you have 365 days after you purchase it, I'd assume it'd be until may :3
Also, scolipede is a new speed booster that was introduced last gen, but received an upgrade in its HA from quick feet to speed boost this gen. It also got a 10 base attack raise this gen, and it learns a lot of set up moves, like SD and iron defense :3
 
Guys, how should i EV a Brave 31/31/31/31/31/x Swampert for my personal use in 3rd Gen (namely the Battle Frontier and Colosseum/XD stuff)? i don't know if i should go for a straight 252/252/6 spread, or with a more custom-ish spread; any help deciding this would be appreciated.
 
Looking for TSV 1285 and 3996
Edit:Both just happen to be either not available on reddit(3996) or 1 month ago 1285

I really don't know because I'm dumb because I don't understand 3rd gen mechanics that much, but when doing the battle frontier I'd personally go for a 40 Atk 212 SpA 252 HP spread because Swampert has good attack anyways for spamming Earthquake, and with a bit more investment in SpA it can really fire off those Surfs and Ice Beams. Full investment in HP so he can take those annoying Giga Drains a bit better.


ALSO, does anyone have a random useless Zekrom lying about? No IVs, or anything required, I just need it to become one with my shiny new kyurem.

If you haven't got one within 9 hours from now I'll give you mine.
 
Since I spent 3 hours or more on this I don't plan on changing it. BUT as far as HP Fire goes since I doubt I will EVER get it perfect before 1000+ eggs, is this good?
Froakie - #656 (Hasty) Male (♂) : 31 / 13 / 28 / 30 / 31 / 30

getting hp fire is easy if you have both hp fire male and female . It's basically a 5 iv pokemon except the the attack is even or odd
So 1 in 10 eggs to get a perfect iv , 1 in 20 eggs to get a perfect Hp pokemon

Yeah I'm using an HP Fire Ditto, and 20-odd eggs in I got this the only one I have. So...yeah.......not likely. -__- So back to my question please. "Will this do?"
 
Does the shiny charm have work when breeding as well or is it just for wild encounters?
there's a research thread on the issue http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/shiny-charm-and-masuda-method.3496464/

i would be more worried about the 13 atk than the def tbh. the whole point of hasty is using a physical attack, and there's no reason to limit by 18 points when you can keep breeding for a 31

sucks with the gender ratio with reparenting froakie. i know the feels ;~;
but yeah, like TyVip said, aim for perfection. it'll be worth it in the long run
 
SRing event buzz, thought I'd get some opininons on the spread I decided to settle with. No synchronizer and IVs, this thing was a real pain to get. Best IVs Magmar/Electabuzz I've seen around, though.

Any tips on breeding hp ice? Using a hp ice joltik (thanks to dr00) and hex 31 ditto. (trying to get the correct ability on joltik)
using a hex 31 ditto will be hard. if you get an HP Ice ditto, it'll be a lot easier (i got mine from Gonzo206), but if you don't have them, what you'll need to do is keep reparenting and hope that among the two parents, you'll have the 5 IVs you need and just let Atk up to chance (cos you'll have a 50% chance it'll be the odd or even you want)

gotta run now, but i can give you some more tips later if you still need them
 
Aim for perfection lol . Who knows ? that 3 points in defense might make a difference in a tournament, where you win money lol

-__- With what? I lack all of the following: The "proper" materials (a.k.a. Perfect HP Fire Parents with a Hasty Nature) and most importantly the paitence and as of now the ability to care. Since I'm not nor do I even plan on (or care at this point) about it being perfect anymore, can I please just have a simple yes or no answer? "
As far as an Imperfect HP Fire Hasty Protean Froakie/Greninja goes, will this do?"
Sorry to be short about it (and quite likely incredibly rude), but I am tired literally (it's 2:30ish in the morning for me and I've been at this for hours) and metaphorically (of not getting a definitive answer to the question I originally asked.)

Yes it's usable but U-turn won't deal much damage

Thanks. And to be honest I don't care how much damage U-Turn Does. This thing is meant to be fast, and Sweep, maybe even block using Mat Flip. This is for Doubles not Singles so it will have support, in fact I just realized I NEVER mentioned that. ;-; Now I feel like an ass. Okay let's disregaurd this whole discussion and try it again when I am not mentally exhausted, which has more adversly affected my mood and ability to explain things than I though it would. Sound good, and sorry for bitting BOTH of your heads off.

In fact you should be concerned about U-Turn's damage because that's the only reason for running a hasty nature in the first place, otherwise go Timid since every other move is either status or special. Also since it's meant for doubles I believe there are better companions to have a Fire type move (ie. STAB heat wave) than Greninja since it already suffers from a 4-moveslot syndrome.
