KillerOfBlisseys - X/X/E/E/E/E , X= Doesn't matter E= Even

I would have your parents look like this: X/X/X/30/30/30 , this ensures HP Fighting 65+, assuming your defense is even, and gives you max IV's in important stats.

Thankyou, I have many sets of parents so I'll have to go and find one.....
If the Xs are even with the evens is that okay?

Ok, so you know how Swords Dance doubles your attack? Does that mean you will have a stage 2 attack or will it still only be stage 1?

Thanks in advance.

Swords dance is +2 atk stages.

My current breeding project isn't going well.
I want to take a small break (about a week) and breed a pokemon that needs four flawless stats. It can't be in emerald, and can't need hidden power.
Got any ideas, guys?

Thanks.

I just got an IV checking code, but I don't know how to work it. I don't know the title of it or anything, because I got it from a friend. He said something about hold start + select. Does anyone have this code, or think they do? If so, how do you get the IV's to show up (in the first 6 TM's)?

Would it help if I posted the code?

EDIT:
KingOfGames - What are you talking about? You can't possibly think you're going to get a flawless pokemon. Look at Peterko's guide to determine how many eggs you would have to hatch to do that. It doesn't appear as though you've ever hatched 100 of one pokemon, let alone thousands. Legitimate question in general though (about whether people would trade for it).

I know I'm going to get :P
And when I do it, I'm going to get the parents and the flawless pokemon hacked check. I'll post it in my thread tomorrow

Does Psych Up copy stat gains from Scarfs and other hold items, or just stat building moves?

Question for example
infernape 346 speed and using dragon dance* (which it can't) equals to 519 spd? for 1 speed stage raise? 1.5 X 346? so the same will apply to the attack? 1.5 x 307?

second question is Sword Dance will make it 2 x 307? and agility?

Thanks

dragon dance would raise speed 1 stage and attack 1 stage

1 stage = 1.5 boost

1.5 x 346 is correct, it is the same for every stat

swords dance is a x2 boost, it is 2 x 307

Does Synchronize's ability work in Coloseum(I mean the natuer part of the ability)? So if I were to reset for Espeon in the beginning so I get bold nature and then go reset for Suicune, would Suicune be Bold 50% of the time?

 

[Chill]

I was looking at the strategy dex and noticed that Pursuit and Self Destruct is listed as illegal on Snorlax. Why is that?

Blue, syncro will not work in Colloseum.

 

[Ondore]

They're illegal together because Selfdestruct is a move tutor move (from XD) and Pursuit is a 4th gen egg move.

 

[Chill]

ah, I see. I was looking at the parents and wondered why it wasn't possible.

 

[Tytus]

What's the rate that Everstone will produce the desired nature? 50%?

50% officialy but ofcourse theres some luck involved

I was wondering. I have it set for Mild, but of course more Careful and Timid turn up than anything -_-
Thanks for confirming though.

im pretty sure its 50% to match either parent. so both should have the same nature (otherwise there is a 25% chance the undesired nature will be passed, 25 the one you want and 50 random)

 

[marrilpet]

^ No. That would be redundant. Get your facts straight before posting.

No...
It's 50% chance of getting
Ditto + pokemon (either gender) = Ditto's nature [Ditto needs everstone]
Male + Female = Female's nature [Female needs everstone]

 

[Felix91]

if you trade for someones non-redistributiable poke, can you rebreed it better and then trade it?

 

[Bender]

I heard that using the everstone trick doesn't work when using Japanese ditto's but if the other pokemon not the ditto is Japanese will it still work?

 

[The Lost One]

What are common counters to Infernape? And how do I calculate the speed of potential threats? (I'm making my own set)

Also, any other tips on trying to make a new set for a pokemon? I don't necessarily mean the kinds of topics where the new sets are suggested and discussed, I just need to know the general steps.

 

[Epic_Spirit]

I have been pondering on this question for quite a while already "Does Hyper Cutter block out the Atk reduction burn gives?". Sorry if I should have posted this on the Research thread.

Reposting since I was skip last time.

Yes it does the everstone trick doesn't work only when the two pokemon you breed came from different nationalities of the game.

To calculate speed I suggest you use Speed Tiers there's a thread over on C&C. In making new sets the only advice I can give you is be creative.

Thanks for the info. I'll check tthe tiers right away and try to be more creative, because all I've done so far is make my own EV set and choose a few moves on my own which ended up being a combination of the sets on the site. At least its different lol XD.

Does anyone have information on the common switch ins on Infernape?

Cresselia, Starmie, and Vapereon I think.

EDIT: Is it possible to get a legit Celebi at level 15? I just got one off the GTS and it's Calm.
