    It really sucks having a crappy safari zone. I'm tempted to restart my entire game.

    Based on your friend code, so you'd have to format your 3DS :p

    Wow. Scratch that plan then.

    Just beat the game and got to the safari zone. I'm not looking for anything in particular ATM, so I just pulled five random usernames off the list: @Arikado @ Athenor (no friend code?) @Anzekay @Maytag @Sevorak @V Faction

    If anyone adds me and visits my safari, please ping me or PM me with the type and pokemon it has so I can update the spreadsheet.

    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 ;)
    I have a bunch of 4IV rejects @akjak! I'll happily trade you one.

    I'll check and make sure we're friends when I get a chance (probably lunch in a couple hours). I won't be able to trade until after 6pm PST because work wifi hates pokemon trading for some reason.

    I'm up to something like 45-ish Pokemon and still haven't gone into Lumiose yet. I'm not literally trying to catch one of everything, but filling the Pokedex seems like a manageable goal, so I'm trying to catch everything that can be caught as I go through the zone.

  • Cameron_TalleyCameron_Talley Registered User regular
    Yeah, getting experience from caught Pokemon is fantastic. Now I just try to catch everything for wonder trades, rather than kill it. Since you still get experience, what's not to like?

    So what does the IV guy say when your Pokemon has perfect IVs?

    I think my Mawile is "almost Outstanding and it's HP good, also it's attack, also it's defense, also it's speed. Yup it can't be beat"

    they have to have the move at the time of you putting them in daycare. even if it gets overwritten while in daycare, they'll keep passing it on till you take them out

    You got two main routes.

    One: Nasty Plot. You can combine it with Sludge Wave, Dark Pulse, and either Focus Blast or Vacuum Wave.

    Twi: SubPunch. Substitute, Focus punch, Sucker Punch, and Poison Jab or Drain Punch.

    Either set is well-served by packing Black Sludge and using Dry Skin.

    These days, I suppose you could also go for a Special-focused Substitute set, with Toxic and Venoshock.

    Given the infiltrator changes and sound attacks going through subsitute (aka Volcarona's Bug Buzz going through Subsitute), I'm not terribly certain how much SubPunch is going to be useful in OU these days. In lower tiers there might be more usefulness as Volcarona won't exist, but it's still a much scarier proposition than it was before.

    Chandelure getting infiltrator for infil will o wisp is just evil. Same on Crobat w/ Toxic.

    Basically that. He got hit by the rain nerf pretty significantly though. Also now that infiltrator goes through sub his focus punch set isn't as reliable either.

    Then perhaps he should pack Stone Edge instead of Poison Jab.

    He double-resists Bug Buzz and will almost certainly one-shot Volcarona with Stone Edge.

    Its a Sandstorm team and I can already see a few weaknesses but cant tell where to add the moves or maybe change a Pokemon. Right now im missing someone with a backup Sandstorm move, a way to beat Water types and Dragon Types. I could also use help figuring out what Hold Items to use.
