    This thread moves brutally fast.
    @Lanrutcon Are you still looking for a 5 IV Serene Grace Chansey? I know you wanted one but unless I missed it you never got back to me.

    Will open trade now. Anything you're keen on?

    @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.

    Edit: and now I scroll to the bottom and see you've found some already. Ah well.

    I'll take one of those. 3x is fine, the adamant/huge power/aqua jet/drum are the important bits. I'll breed the IVs in I want :)

    I've been dead set on trying to catch a shiny ponyta in Diamond I've been ignoring X for three days now. I should probably stop trying the pokéradar method and find some other way.

    Just get a foreign Ponyta and breed with a compatible mate from your game. That'll increase your odds.

    Still gonna breed these Marill for a bit so I can add them to my current egg move collection (Right now consisting solely of DD/Fang Tyrunts.)

    Maybe Play Rough Absol next.

    Yeah but there is a lot of hurdles like trying to get a foreign Ponyta. I see jerks putting up foreign dittos for Legendaries. Then I gotta see if it has good IV's and Nature. And thats still something I'd have to brush up on.

    no, shinies seem to have a better chance of appearing in friend safaris. I found 3 the other day in an hour and a half. my friend also got a shiny ponta out of the friend safari. it's rumored the person has to be online though.

    Does anyone have a safari zone with Dittos or know who I could message for one? I'd like to help out with that uber list, but I've yet to add anyone with a ditto zone.

    Mekredd and Sargoth iirc

    Thanks, yo!

    Given how OP the EXP Share is in this gen it won't be a problem. My guys are already Lv.45 and just hit Coumarine city.

    Wait...do you mean that if you drop off a level 1 pokemon with 4 egg moves at the daycare and let it gain 30 levels, the game won't stop passing down all four moves until you move it out and back in again?

    Yep.

    Observation I made while IV-breeding Tyrunts with Ice Fang, Fire Fang, Thunder Fang.

    If you have a "reject" of one of those, I wouldn't say no to trading you for it ;)

    Here's the link to the spreadsheet: G&T's Sexy Breeding List

    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.

    Living up to your handle, indeed.

    I've got some things I can add.

    So, my plan of continuing to level up each evolvable Pokemon equally as I go on has gotten stupid now that I have roughly 50 of the buggers to drag around. I should stop farting around, just pick a squad of 20 or so, and level up the rest later, right? I'm 38 hours in and I still only have the bug badge. Stupid vidja game OCD...

    I believe so. I squealed when I saw it, then slapped Surf on my Greninja to surf on the back of a cool ninja frog.

    But I got the generic animation, booooo!

    Ok, I think I finally got passing down IVs, abilities, and natures. How to breed on egg moves? I've done some breeding with high level 'mons, and the babies all still end up with their normal level 1 moves.

    People used to call me a madman for leveling a team of 6 equally because it meant like a week of victory road grinding. Now who's the madman!

    Yeah or that too! I kinda stay in the dark with new games, so I just got to the swamp and caught one and fell in love so I had to look it up. I don't know what to do with it, seems to have a lot of options, but I just want something right now for the normal game. I've been running through these bushes for awhile and have only caught three, and two were Jolly, and even though I'm not doing super serious battling right now, it just bothers me.

    I realized that when I dragged my entire evolvable PC contents, six at a time, over the rocky path to Glittering Cave. It only took me most of Sunday.

    I found that the Exp Share can support somewhere around 16-20 pokemon without grinding until around the seventh gym/mid 40s, at which point you might want to start scaling back.

    I made a new column in the Breeding spreadsheet that says "Specific Trade?"

    This is to be used to indicate whether you will only trade for a certain something. I went ahead and put "No" for everyone already on there, but definitely feel free to go back and change it if you would like. I'm sure most people don't really want anything in particular, but I'm of the opinion that you shouldn't be required to give these away "for nothing" if you don't want.

    On the other hand, for those of us who didn't use Exp Share, the levels this gen get a little out of hand. I'm at the League's doorstep and I have a team at like 54-55, while people tell me this starts at like mid-sixties.

    Man. I probably should have gotten that Gardevoir in place of Meowstick.

    It's tied to your friend code I believe. I think the only way to change it would be to perform a factory reset on your 3DS. I wouldn't worry about it though.
