Pokemon Thread #20: It's getting closer to Sun/Moon

[JWK]

Thanks guys

Thanks guys

Breeding HAs off male starters is a GIGANTIC pain in the ass. The rarity of hatching a female starter mon is frustrating enough, but there's nothing like that relief of finally hatching a female being dashed by checking its vitals and finding out it has the wrong ability.

 

[JS19]

Wait, if I breed a male reckless Tepig with female Tepig that has Sucker Punch, can I be able to get a reckless Tepig with Sucker Punch? I haven't bred in so long, I forgot everything.

Your best bet is to do what I did, female Thick Fat Tepig, and male Mawile until you have your beneficial IVs, and then breed a female with Jap Ditto. Idk how that works considering fire kills steel, but whatever lol.

 

[JWK]

Does anyone have a female reckless Tepig, asking for a friend

 

[rangerssharks414]

Yeah, but it turns into Reckless when it evolves.

Yeah, I know. I was just being a smart ass.

On August 1st, not only you get an Arceus code, you also get a ..........

plushie!

I've been debating so long whether to buy the Darkrai plushie or go ahead and get Arceus...

 

[Afino]

is.....is the plush free too?

 

[JWK]

I'm hoping I can make some good $$$$ on Ebay by getting multiple plushies and selling them

I'm currently breeding for shiny Fennekin on Y and thick fat female Tepig on OR.

Also me:

 

[JWK]

Finally hatched a female Tepig!


It's blaze, woot

 

[DCDM]

Oh man August 1 is a Monday and I don't work Mondays

LOOKS LIKE I'm gonna be hunting down a plushie

Today's episode was fantastic.

[spoil]And it adds to the possibility of "charge" moves or something similar being introduced in Sun and Moon. Ash's Greninja's shuriken got bigger as it was fighting, and when it used it at the end, it was insanely strong - enough to basically OHKO a Mega-Sceptile (it took some prior damage, but still).[/spoil]

 

[AfroThunder396]

Decided I'm going to try ONE more time to finish a Wonderlocke in XY. Starting over now:

UP: Froakie L6
DOWN: Plusle L9

UP: Fletchling L2
DOWN: Pelipper L34

UP: Scatterbug L2
DOWN: Oddish L14

UP: Bidoof L4
DOWN: Poochyena L3

UP: Farfetch'd L7
DOWN: Cubone L1

UP: Skitty L8
DOWN: Ledyba L8

Really liking this start so far, I mean Plusle is garbage but the rest is a solid foundation.

Egg counter so far

I hate how the route is done around the daycare man in ORAS. in XY, I can go the long distance from left to right without any interference but in ORAS, i can't because of those damn moving characters.

There's an infinite loop spot for the daycare on the battle resort/fronteir/island/whatever it is.

1) Stand right in front of the kid out front of the daycare.

2) Get on your bicycle. Go all the way to the left until you hit the shoreline.

3) Hold up on the d-pad.

if you do that, you can cycle infinitely around the island without being hit by anything. Just keep holding up and you'll hit each corner of the island, the camera will rotate, and you'll keep going.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I just go left to right in the Battle Resort in front of the Day Care Kid. The sand annoys me so much that I don't do the infinite d-pad thingy.

I forgot there were 2 daycares in ORAS, I was using the one next to Mauville city.

 

[wingsnut19]

I don't breed in ORAS, it is so much easier overall in X/Y even with the loop at the battle resort. I really hope that they make it just as easy in Sun and Moon.

 

[AfroThunder396]

I've gotten REALLY lucky on my wonder trades, I feel like a wave of Bidoofs is looming over my head.

This is my first time breeding in ORAS, and it's not bad. Only bad thing about that loop is those 3 muddy places that slows you down.

I also find that the coin trick doesn't work because every time an egg hatches it resets you, so you have to re-find the line. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I find that slows me down a lot. The only benefit I find in ORAS is that the daycare and the loop are in the same spot, but that doesn't seem to be that helpful, especially when I'm collecting 30 or more eggs before going to hatch them anyways.

123 eggs later, I've got a shiny Speed Boost Torchic.

One good thing about breeding in ORAS is that you don't have to fly to check the IVs.

It's fate.

 

[JWK]

I always question myself when I'm masuda breeding.
