    Hawlucha, some kind of bipedal bird D:

    Fighting/Flying..looks like a luchador and is classified as the "Wrestling Pokemon" :D

    If I wasn't using Pancham, it'd have a spot on my team for sure. Guess I'll use it for Sky Battles.

    Edit: Ahh, doesn't look like it'll evolve, though. Sigilyph comes immediately after it in the Pokedex.

    He can't sky battle anyhow.

    Have they mentioned what Streetpassing will get you in this? Been playing with the Homepass relay since today's update extended it to the "Last 6 visitors" and not the "Last visitor." Wonder what getting a ton of Streetpasses will do for X and Y. Probably just add NPCs to the (nonexistant) postgame content?

    Streetpassing will get you Pokemiles, which you can trade for various items. You can also get them by trading with someone over the internet - the greater the distance between the two players doing the trade, the more Pokemiles they will get.

    There's probably other stuff, but I haven't encountered anything else yet.

    So is it determined by IP or by your country selection on your 3DS?

    Do trainers with Sky Battles just reject you like Triple-trainers if your party doesn't meet requirements?

    Oh, I got an idea. I could select different sexes in different games this gen.

    There may be a new hold-item that disincentivises supereffectives, especially against Sturdy things. The holder is boosted when its weakness is hit.

    Can someone explain to me what the difference between a Primary Ability, Secondary Ability and Hidden Ability are?

    I read about a capsule that lets you swap them... so is only one active at a time?

  • ZephiranZephiran Registered User regular
    All pogeymuns have Abilities. Most have a possible selection of two, in fact, but can only ever be obtained with either one ability and then that's that. The Hidden Ability is a third Ability that was introduced via Gen V's Dream World. This is why they are also known as Dream World Abilities. These are somewhat special, in that they are supposed to be fairly rare due to their gated method of acquisition - i.e., you get them in Pokemon obtained from the soon to be defunct Dream World, special events, and if I'm not mistaken a few can be found via Caves in B2W2. Hidden Abilities usually sport somewhat unusual or very specific functionality. On some mons they end up fairly useless in the grand scheme of things, but for the most part they're still fun and lend themselves to quirky (and sometimes VERY powerful) strategies.

    And I think that about covers the basics.

    Fairly credible leaks and rumours have it that the new generation has introduced a special item that lets you switch abilities when the item is used, but the exact mechanics are still somewhat unknown. I've seen some people say it's a Hold Item, others that it is a strictly one time in-battle use thing similar to most Pokemon consumables, like Potions, and some have theorised that you pop it once on a poke outside battle and then you choose a new Ability for it.

    Bulbapedia should have some more details once the game officially rolls around.

    Alright and in this next scene all the animals have AIDS.

    I got a little excited when I saw your ship.

    I see so only one of those abilities is active at a time? Whether Primary, Secondary or Hidden?

    So the new Torchic with the Hidden Ability speed thingy... that won't actually be available when we first get him? We'll need to get this new item that seems to cost BP and then use it (however it's used) to switch over to the Hidden ABility?

    Is that correct?

    I've played pokemon since R/B and I never new that pokes could have second or even thrid abilities that were not shown.

    My whole world has been flipped upside down!

  • ZephiranZephiran Registered User regular
    Yes, one ability at a time.

    No, he'll come with his Hidden Ability right off the bat, no setup required.

    You could, however, conceivably change its ability over and back again if you so fancy with the new item.
