    You guys weren't kidding about quick balls. First turn throws on full hp pokemon is working 40-50% of the time. So useful considering my team generally one hit kills every wild pokemon I meet.

    I was surprised to be able to skip ALL trainer battles in the Fairy Gym, no reason to though :P

    Would anyone mind doing a trade and tradeback to help me evolve my Phantump?

    I have X, so I am happy to capture any version exclusives, have a bunch of Clauncher already or can just do some tradebacks as payment?

    Oh crap. The trainers in Victory Road are as high as 60 to begin with? Guess it's time for the EXP Share to make its long-awaited return.

    So, did we ever pin down the exact numbers on Mega Launcher? I need to know if Mega Blastoise's Water Pulse is as strong as his Surf.

    doesn't mega gengar get shadow tag?

    out of curiosity, does mega evolution occur before or after the pokemon switch option?

    A pokemon isn't mega until it's actual taking its turn. So when it switches in it's normal, then the user selects transform and a move.
    So you could use a priority trick to stop it?

    Hey I asked this a few pages back, I don't mean to be annoying so I'll spoiler it, it's IV questions for you guys who know everything about this stuff.
    I'm also on the perfect Aegislash train.

    I have a female with perfect HP, attack, spattack, and spdefense.

    I have a male with perfect HP, attack, and defense.

    Now what I don't get is, when stats are passed down from a parent, is it literally that stat from the parent, or does it just pick any number?

    Like, the child is randomly getting 3 stats from the parents, in this case we'll say it's speed, attack, and HP.
    Is it definitely getting mom or dad's speed, mom or dad's attack, etc.?
    Or might it grab the mom's defense score and use that as speed and the dad's special attack score and use that as HP?

    In other words, with the two I listed above...

    If one holds the power item for attack, is the other parent's perfect attack being wasted, because that number could never be used, since one parent's attack is already being used?

    Instead, the male should hold the power item for defense, since that blocks off the female's defense from being used, which isn't perfect anyway?

    Does that make sense?

    No, from what I hear mega evolution is a special priority that always happens and is not interruptable.

    In fact I believe I have seen the text go something like this:

    Greninja's Quick Claw allows it to go first!
    Sporky's Venusaur is reacting to the Mega Ring!
    Sporky's Venusaur has evolved into Mega Venusaur!
    Greninja uses Bounce!

    etc.

    That makes Water Pulse strictly superior to Surf in one-on-one situations, as it does as much damage (150% of 60 is 90), and carries a Confusion chance.

    the question, then, is whether you think Blastoise needs the added power that comes from Hydro Pump instead.

    And if he can learn Pulses of the Dark, Dragon and Aura Sphere variety.

    Ok, so I was correct? If both parents have the same perfect stat and one wears the power item for that stat, the other's perfect stat is wasted. You want to use a power item on a perfect stat that the other parent does not have because it removes that imperfect stat from the equation. Yes?

    Yeah it's 50%. Clawitzer can learn water pulse, dark pulse, dragon pulse and aura sphere and all of them will have a bp of at least 120 I think. Water pulse will be 135 bp. Pretty crazy!

    I must admit I'm not sure of the answer to that.

    I would assume since the power item guarantees one stat, the system would count that stat as one of the three potential IVs being passed down and not pick a duplicate stat from the other parent.

    That would be kind of a dick move to throw in the whole process.

    Yeah, that's about right. If you have one parent with perfect Speed and Attack, and another with only perfect Speed, and you want both, then using the power item for Attack will double the amount of viable offspring you get compared to the other way around.

    EVs are far more visible than ever, actually.

    Just tur on the Super Training window an you can see how you've been progressing, and go to a mini-game to specifically train a stat.
