haha np, anytime :)

Thanks :) Now i've got one of each of the pokemon in my pokebank, just stored them all ^^ the 719! so when a new game is released I'd just need to transfer them into the new game's pc, and it's done :) i've got the both charm now :)

Awesome! Yeah a living dex it definitely the way to do it haha. Congrats! ^_^

Thanks dude :)

Hi :) just a question, i was looking for a guide to perfect my breeding skills , and i ended up on this '' old '' video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL1PtXHDzFU

Is this thing legit? Seems op to get good iv with just the dittos from safari !

Oh yeah, totally! That's the method a lot of people use, and myself on (rare) occasion

Here's a guide .com wrote for it if you want to check it out: https://sites.google.com/site/timemachineguide/home

I see, and is it better than simply going for a 6iv ditto + a pokemon you want with random iv and than replacing the random by the same pokemon with better iv each time you breed?

The method only really works if you have several parents on hand with different IV spreads. If you're starting with a 6IV Ditto, then it doesn't matter as much. It becomes more helpful if you are breeding for HP spreads.

Personally, I just replace the parent and keep in my 6 IV ditto. You can try experimenting though to see which method you prefer. :) Some people on here use TMM for everything haha

i see :p
well, idk what would be the best method to shiny breed smthg, i mean with this TMBM you can see if it'll have the hidden abilitie for example and also force it to get right IV

Yeah, that is certainly the benefit of it. If you also have a method of restoring your save file, you can "lock" into a good (perhaps even shiny) TMBM spread by making a backup. That way you can get as many shinies as you want haha.

But if you're just hatching them as you go, the TMBM will give you a better chance of getting a shiny with good IVs

i don't know about the method of restoring ^^
right now i've captured some shinies, and i'm collecting all the mega gemmes / objects like the mirror for landorus etc

Than i'll start breeding some serious competitive mons

I was basically just referring to powersaves, or copy over files on your SD card if you have a digital game. There's different methods discussed online haha

Sounds like a plan though! Good luck :)

ty :)

yeah i don't know much about cloning and powersaving, all that stuff, but i do have a SD card and the lector for it, few months ago i bought it to implement the Eon Pass for Latios, through the pkhex, never touched this again but can i use it to clone my pokemons for giveaways?

Well, if you have a way of accessing your SD card on the computer (and you have a digital game) you might be able to. Not really sure haha. I don't think PKHeX would help out with cloning though.

If you mean "is that legal here?" If you state how you did it, and as long as the pokemon are legitimately acquired, then it should be fine. I'm not the last say on that though haha.

I see, i'll try to figure out if i can clone, otherwise i don't know how i should proceed :s

Btw, do you have the togetic and ditto mentioned in the TMBM tuto ?

Hmm, I'll have to check on those. I think I might. It's an all 31 ditto and an all 29 togetic right?

Hey sorry. If you could send me 4 fodder mons over (that have 0 value preferably), I can send you an all 0 Ditto, and an all 29 Magikarp, Togetic, and Porygon. They aren't .com's (they're actually all mine) but they'll work the same :)

yeah i'll take them as well :)

haha ok cool. Just let me know when you're ready to trade and I'll send them over.

ok i wasn't sure you would be available for this trade this soon, okay im going to catch 4 pokemons quickly
