Everstones, Sync, and Natures... my head hurts...

gluttony808

So, I want nothing more than a Shiny, Modest, Spiritomb. I've tried the Everstone+Modest Female Spiritomb=Modest Babies...lies I tell you! None of them were Modest. I've heard it was only a 50% chance, but still, out of 5 eggs? None? Next, I questioned the Sync method, that a Quiet Alakazam with Sync will net you Quiet catches. Is this true, and if it is, can I use a Modest Abra/Ralts and soft reset for a Shiny Spiritomb, that is Modest?

Before asking why Modest.... Sleep and Sweep baby, Hypnosis, Plot, and Dark Pulse away! (Not Shadow Ball since I want to use a Gengar on my team as well).

Thanks for the help! :toast:
 
If it has Nasty Plot to boost its attack, I'd suggest going with a +Def or +SDef nature instead, since that stat isn't going to be boosted. Or Bold, with Calm Mind.
 
Syberia: Hmm, you really think so? My mindset was something along the lines of sleeping, then pain splitting, then plotting, then wiping, or maybe replace PS with Dream Eater, after a plot, it could prove to be a substantial recovery depending on the foe. I was looking at the "Strategy dex" and found a starter I'd alter for Pursuit/Sucker Punch, Taunt, PS, and WoW, but with Careful Nature, which makes sense due to a lack of boosting moves. The attacking one had Hyp, NP/CM, Shadow Ball(which I have covered), and Hidden Power Fighting. Modest. My complaint is that if I'm going to sleep, then boost, why not throw in a strong damage move like Dream Eater, and get some health back? Take full advantage of Sleep Imo.

Sixonesix:I don't have wi-fi, my dad's either getting a wireless router, or I'm getting a usb adapter for my tower (I think that's the name)

EFF:Nope, Gaspar, the Haunter you get for Medicham at Snowpoint. Diff IV's + Same Egg Group = Fast Eggs :D
^^ Leaves me perplexed >.<

What about the whole Sync thing?

So you're planning to go with Nasty Plot, and then only one attack? That's just asking to get walled by something, especially if it's Dark Pulse, Shadow Ball, or (no, just no) Dream Eater.

Hypnosis/Calm Mind/Shadow Ball/HP Fighting might work, though. Spiritomb is really too slow to Nasty Plot effectively; it likes the defense boost Calm Mind provides as well as the attack.
 
I actually had an idea in the shower, of all places. Start with Snorlax, yawn, then the turn they are to sleep, send in scizor with bat pass and agi. agi up, then pass off to Spirit :D And why not dream eater, doesnt seem like a terrible idea, especially with being able to go first :D
 
Dream eaters bad because the opponent would just switch out when they're asleep, and so you're left with a useless move (unless you're not playing with sleep clause).
