I realized my planned team has too many water weaknesses so I now have to replace my originally planned rapid spinner. Does anyone know how to breed Rapid Spin onto a Tentacool? I'm not seeing a lot of overlap between that move and the Water 3 egg group.
Starmie's in the water 3 egg group.
It also taunts me by being genderless.
Ah of course.
Fastest way seems to be squirtle -> kabuto -> tentacool.

EDIT: And it's not enough for Maytag to just beat me with his team of flying demons, now he beats me at posting too!

Math question from previous thread! I guess it's no big deal if no one knows, I'm just curious.
I know that there are 65,536 trainer IDs. (Despite the 5 digits allowing for 100,000, it's just a 16-bit number.)
It's easy to calculate your odds of winning the lottery outright. With just my ID it's 1/65,536, if I have 100 pokemon from Wonder Trade and the IDs are unique it's 100/65,536, or about 1/655.
But how do you calculate the chance of winning 2nd, 3rd, or 4th prize? When it's about matching digits, and you can match any digit, but the digit has to be in the same position, and each digit can be from 0-9...I forget how all this works.
Say I have 100 trainer IDs in my box and I want to know how often I will match 2 and get a PP Up. What's the answer?
So I decided to be a huge nerd and whip up a Python script that could give us a pretty accurate estimate of these percentages (assuming IDs vary from 00000 to 65535 - it might be slightly different if they vary from 00001 to 65536). These estimates are accurate to +/- 0.1%.

Heh is night shade his only attack? Victory! Dam nice game, if Xatu had another attack you probably would have won.
I was really hoping that night shade worked differently for some arbitrary reason and would work on a normal pokemon, as it can't be super effective either.
Too bad for me

Going into that battle my only thought was "Please don't have a gale force talonflame. Please."
Heh when I sent in Breloom it mostly so I could get Fake-Out back, figured he would die a horrible psychic bird death. I was puzzled why you didn't destroy him utterly the 1st turn until I thought back to what he had done before.

Hah, don't think that would've helped me much in retrospect. Not like Talonflame would have been able to do much against reuniclus and kangashkan, which were the most difficult 2 to handle.

I'm now tempted to use Starmie as a rapid spinner as opposed to Tentacruel to avoid the rapid spin egg chain (even though only breeding with Dittoes will be maddening) and because I already have a pokemon that can hit the other team with Toxic. I worry that it may be too squishy though. My other team members are starting to look like it'll be Talonflame, Kangaskhan, Gliscor, Goodra, and Gengar (who feels a bit boring for me Gengar just has such different weaknesses than most of the team).
So how come when you're trading players can't look at each others' boxes? Feels like it would make random online trades a lot easier.
I would LOVE for a person trading with me to be able to pick out what they want from my boxes. @CoolTrainer opened a trade with me last night, "Dan" in game, and I could not remember what he wanted until he flashed his own Eevee. Maybe I should just start turning on the voice chat for trades
For whatever reason, I can text chat with the best of 'em but as soon as my voice enters the picture I become incredibly shy. Trading is a bitch.

So honestly...having 100 looks to be right about where you want to be. Eliminate Moomoo Milk and keep the Rare Candy percentage low...and it only uses ~3 boxes instead of ~8.
Does your script just brute force it, pick X random numbers from 0-65535, pick a winning number, check, and do it over again repeatedly?
Guys, just got pokemon (the last one i played was red & blue a million years ago.) So I have dumb questions:
1. So, to watch the video, you get into VS and search the code? Where do I find this "vs" thing?
2. How does auto-levelling in battles work? Are all they retaining is the movesets, or the stats as well?

1: You have to have the VS recorder which you don't get until you step into the postgame town for the first time. Lame, I know.
2: They're auto leveled to 50 and their stats are exactly what they would be at 50. Your moves are whatever you have them, they aren't changed.
For whatever reason, I can text chat with the best of 'em but as soon as my voice enters the picture I become incredibly shy. Trading is a bitch.
Can you even text chat in Pokemon at all?
I just mean in general. Right now I'm "text chatting" with you. If this was skype I'd be silent, but it's not so I'm saying things.

Aren't Pokemon below level 50 only auto-leveled to 50 in some formats? I remember playing against my cousin in a singles match and having all my under-leveled 'mons at 50, but soon after trying out Doubles and having all of mine at their normal levels.
Also, is Rain Dish Wartortle not available in Friend Safari? I've been getting my Sligoo to perform Rain Dance at the start of every encounter and haven't yet had a Wartortle react to it.
