I've gotten some pretty cool stuff from Japanese players. Not much from Korean players, but I haven't run into many Korean players yet. And no one plays Pokemon in China anymore.

What's a good EV spread for bulky will-o-wisp Mega Charizard X?

My favorite Wonder Trade story is the guy who got a level 99 shiny Bagon nicknamed "NoMence4u".

Shiny Gourgeist with Pokerus. :D

What's a good counter for Mandibuzz?

Wow. That signature move and base stats make it an absolute beast. It's a good thing it's pretty slow. A bit lacking on the specially defensive side, but Steam Eruption makes up for it. 110 BP and 50% burn rate!? What was Game Freak thinking?

Why Rock Slide and not Stone Edge?

Those designs. Ugh. To be honest I don't think that either of the Lati twins are going to edge out other Megas like Mewtwo or Kangaskhan for a spot. I don't even see them being banned from OU. It would have been better if they'd gotten new abilities. Multiscale Latias would have been a monster.

I got a Japanese Conkeldurr, a Jolly Zubat with Defog/Brave Bird, and a Japanese Timid Froakie with Protean and egg moves. Not bad for my first day. Update: Adamant Speed Boost Torchic, Adamant Gale Wings Fletchling, Adamant Beldum, and a Chespin. Yay!

Alrighty, here we go: Machamp: I'm not sure Assault Vest is the best option for this guy. I'd prefer Life Orb or maybe even Choice Band to increase damage output. But the big thing is that you're missing out on a great combo of Dynamicpunch and No Guard (ability). Dynamicpunch is powerful and...

Alright, let's go down this one-by-one: Aggron: I recommend Leftovers or Rocky Helmet over Quick Claw, which depends too much on chance. Otherwise, I don't know much about running M-Aggron and it looks fine so I'll leave it at that. Umbreon: Instead of running Toxic, you should run Heal Bell...

If Skarmory doesn't work you could try shuffler Dragonite. I haven't tried this out in X/Y but essentially the philosophy was you invest a lot in bulk, force a switch and set up a substitute, then use Thunder Wave and Dragon Tail on the next turn. So you end up paralyzing and racking up hazard...

This is going to be long, so get ready: Your Azumarill's moveset is very unorthodox. Instead of running Superpower I recommend Ice Punch as that gives better coverage, and there's absolutely no reason to use Double-edge when Azumarill a) takes recoil that really stacks up along with Life Orb...

...why are you running HP DRAGON on Zoroark? If you really, really want to hit dragon-types you could just run HP Ice or Fairy and get additional coverage. If you're going to rely on Red Card for shuffling, instead of Red Card on Hawlucha, I recommend running Klefki. Klefki can priority Recycle...
