    Nothing in the field as far as I know. Copies the ability of the opposing duder so you can quickly check to see if it has the Hidden ability you want. Not sure how it functions in horde battles though.

    Why Flare Blitz over something like Flamethrower or Fire Blast when you're EV training him for SpA?

    Oh crap balls I forgot that was physical.

    A side question...how do I KNOW that a pokemon has a 31 IV? I mean theoretically with destiny knot and two max IVs on each pokemon via Safari there's a chance of getting zero max IVs.

    I should know this answer, I just took a test on binomial distribution.

    Earthquake is physical too, but I'm not sure if 'zard gets any decent special ground-type moves.

    Its a waste of a move on a special attacker.

    Between focus blast, fire blast and solar beam you should be fine against anything weak to ground

    What about Dragon Pulse or maybe Roost then?

    Both work. Dragon pulse is nicer imo. 100% accuracy that hits a lot of stuff neutral is useful when you're running so many low accuracy attacks

    I've been out of town, so I don't know if this has been brought up at some point, but what would everyone think of a Breeding Google Doc Spreadsheet?

    Here's my thinking: A lot of us have been working on breeding, but there's definitely some overlap going on. Why not make the process a little more efficient? In my limited breeding experience, having a 4 IV Pokemon can drastically improve the time it takes to get to a 5 IV Pokemon, so why not help each other out? In my quest to get a 5 IV Scyther, I ended up with almost a box full of 4 IV Scyther's and they're just sitting there. I would love to give them out, but an individual post gets quickly lost in the behemoth that is this thread.

    We could set it up similarly to the Friend Code spreadsheet, but have it more specialized for breeding. Basically just have the username and what Pokemon that person has available. Maybe list how many Perfect IV's their Pokemon have. I haven't started one yet, simply because I wanted to gauge the interest first, but I can set something up for tweeking later if there's interest.

    I want to do my part to help with the breeding duty, but I'm sure a lot of you guys would agree that fighting with a competitive team is much more fun than riding a bicycle back and forth all day. Hopefully this will help us reach that goal faster.

    @Shen Oh, that makes sense. So you only catch the ones you want. Duh.

    I would not be against helping. It took me a week to get a 5 IV goomy and its a Female.
    90% of that is because its eggs take a lifetime to hatch

    Marills are pretty easy to get since their baby form is in the wild (100% 3ivs) I have an Adamant Marill right now I can spend some time breeding today for you.

    Ooh those sound good too. Its going to be a bit because I've decided to breed Belly Drum and Aqua jet onto it as well.

    See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. I spent a decent chunk of my playing time this weekend working on breeding Marill's, and ended up with jack crap to show for it.

    I'm going to start working on the Google doc, so I'll throw up a link in a bit.

    P.S. I would really like one of those too Adellios.

    I'd love to get in on the breeding shares. I have boxes full of 4 IV pokemon that I don't want to waste! Especially the ones that take so long to get egg moves onto.

    Also... while breeding Ferroseeds, I realized that the change in egg move mechanics means they can have Leech Seed, Spikes, AND Stealth Rock! You used to have to pick 2. Yay!

    @Lanrutcon I have a bunch of 3 IV and maybe a few 4IV adamant huge power marills with aqua jet and belly drum already if you want one.

    Feel free to make any suggestions for the format. I feel like we should just make a separate line for each pokemon we have available. Then I think it would be most optimal to just sort the list by Pokemon.

    Sure, I'll check how many actually good ones I have. If you're just looking for adamant/huge power w/ aqua jet and belly drum i have about 60 of them :p

    Had really bad luck with getting decent stats of them though, until a 4 and a 2 hail maryed the 5 stats I wanted.

    Is the assumption that people are trading those pokemon in the breeding list for random junk or should there be a field for specific wants?
