I'm looking for some suggestions on how to build a proper Battle Tower team around Polteageist as its one of my favorites from this gen. Full disclosure: I haven't played competitively since RSE when people were still using Netbattle lol so I'm quite rusty. I have the following build...

Lee great shots. I just got back up into running from a near 6 month hiatus. Running has been a relatively recent (started in the past 2 years) thing for me and I got to the point where I could run a 5K in about 22:00...not great but I was proud to have gone down from 30:00. Clocked in at 30:00...

Did anyone apply to Rice and get in/waitlisted? Just curious as I'm an alum :x Decisions were released sometime this past week. I interview a couple of applicants in my area earlier this year and was surprised to find out that they didn't get in...they were way more impressive than I ever was...

Taking a gap year now to do research with a professor I wanted to work with. Plans are to go to grad school...eventually. I'm applying for a Fulbright research scholarship this fall and praying that I get that. Otherwise, I might try to find work for a year before applying for grad school. I'm...

This is a thread dedicated to outdoor activities -- hiking/backpacking, climbing, cycling, trail running, etc. Feel free to post about recent hikes/trips you've done or cool places in your area. I'm mostly into hiking myself. I've been trying to ease my way into longer hikes since a few friends...

Am I allowed to say my own country (U.S.)? I travel a fair bit but I feel like I haven't appreciated this country enough until recently. As an avid hiker, there's so much to see and do here. Otherwise, probably Iceland, Scotland, or Ireland.

Keep or toss this Diancie? Hasty: 31 / 31 / 4-5 / 28-29 / 28-29 / 31 Looked good until the horrible defense :/

Keep or toss this Latias? Planning to use Mega-Latias Bold: 31/xx/29/29/31/31 Pretty much going to be used for in-game purposes, i.e. Battle Resort. No intentions of participating in any official tournaments.

Quick question: how do I reliably check IVs on Latias in ORAS on Southern Island? Since it's at level 30, it seems like I'd only be able to tell from the stats whether the IV is 30 or 31. Metalkid IV calc says I'd need to get to Lv 37 to check Def and 51 to check speed, and I definitely don't...

Anyone have a Speed Boost Torchic they can spare? Nature and IVs don't matter as I plan to do the breeding myself. I can offer some 5IV Charmander, Honedge, or Larvesta (non-HA). They're leftover from breeding so they don't have a competitive 5IV spread, but can easily be used for breeding...

Can you let me know which Pokemon you find in my Safari?

Your friend safari is rock type. Dwebble and corsola so far, not sure about the 3rd slot. Didn't want to clog up the simple request thread

Hi all, just finally started on the X/Y kick after not playing since D/P. Looking to add people with water and fire friend safaris (specifically Frogadier and Larvesta). I've no idea what type my safari is since this is my first time using it. FC: 3540-2026-1264

So I can offer a bit of insight on Switzerland as I was there for about 3 months. It may help a bit to know what exactly you're interested in seeing in CH. As others have already stated, best way to get around Switzerland is by train. They go to all of the major cities and also pretty much all...

Thanks. I didn't see Minas Tirith, but googling the filming location, it doesn't look that interesting imo...I didn't really seek out any filming locations, but wound up inadvertently seeing a couple on some of the hikes I did. Damn, I probably should've asked if there were any locals around...
