    @Matrias It took a while due to unbelievably shitty luck, but your Bulbasaur is ready. Do you want a nickname?
    oh wow. I kind of just wanted a base with the 30 IVs. You didn't have to make one. :D
    Thank you!
    Can you name him Tyrell?
    Sure thing, I don't know if I have you added or not, but I'll do that now and then I'm ready any time.

    HMs you mean? Surf and Waterfall aren't bad. That's historically about it for HM usefulness in Pokemon games.
    Man, I'm breeding all these sweet Abras, and keep putting one on the GTS looking for a bunnelby with pickup, and people keep sending me one without pick up! Not classy, pokemon world, not classy at all.

    Does it have to be Bunnelby? I prefer Dedenne, myself. Easier to level them up without getting evolutionspammed every time one of them dings.

    Nah, anything that learns Pick Up as its ability in its final/only stage of evolution would be fine. I just figure you can catch a bunnelby on route 2 so that's easiest.

    I have six lvl. 90ish Pickup Aipoms that I don't need any more. You could have them if you want.

    @undergroundmonorail Even if you just sent one my way I'd appreciate it.

    So uh. Someone just Wonder Traded me a Timid Protean Froakie. Whelp, that's something I don't need to catch now. Thanks Pokemon world! You're classy SOMETIMES.

    E: Also, the GTS is gobbling up these Knock Off Abras I keep breeding. I'm just breeding a Synchronize team, but people really like my rejects.

    It's pretty gimmicky, because as soon as you force out a sweeper that can boost, a will-o-wisp staller, or a rapid spinner/defogger, the party is pretty much over. Still, I imagine it would be hilarious against hyper offense teams.

    I don't know if I'll keep Red Card on Escavalier in 6 vs 6 Singles, but in 3 vs 3 it has let me OHKO Tyranitar, Alakazam, Mewtwo, and Gardevoir with a readied Megahorn. It doesn't even give them the chance to Mega Evolve first (not that Mega Evolving would save them).

    I can't choose what else to put on Escavalier, though. Quick Claw is nice for the surprise factor, Lum Berry protects against burns and paralysis, Insect Plate boosts Megahorn's already crazy attack power, Rocky Helmet gives any Flare Blitzing Talonflames a parting gift, and Leftovers paired with Leech Seed (and perhaps Drizzle) gives him major survivability.

    I'm running Megahorn, Iron Head, Knock-Off and Iron Defense on Escavalier right now. For partners I have a Focus Sash-equipped Scolipede with Megahorn, Toxic Spikes, Swords Dance and Baton Pass, as well as a Leftovers-equipped Gourgeist with Leech Seed, Substitute, Shadow Sneak and Will-O-Wisp. Politoed sometimes comes along to supply Drizzle and burn with Scald, as does a Toxicroak with Stone Edge and a Choice-Specs'd Heliolisk.

    I'm also thinking of trying a Trick Room team. Escavalier has a 0 Speed IV, and I also have a few other sluggish Pokemon.

    Awesome! Thanks! I figured it would be decent since it has Gale Wings, but its perfect! That Binacle is prolly 3x31, it was one of the random non-4x31s from my breeding I threw in the PC for some reason.

    Fucking hell, all of the good stats are females again.

    You know what, fuck it. 31\31\31\31\21\7 male, I'm using that for the next breeding gen. Shuckle is outspeeding exactly nobody ever anyway.

    Are you trying for a 31/31/31/x/31/0 something?

    Also, the next time you check a batch of eggs, would you mind checking some for me?

    No, as a matter of fact now that I think about it I probably will want to have the attack/sp. attack IVs to be as shit as possible if I opt to use Power Split. That may require an additional generation.

    And yes next time I have a box ready I'll check yours.

    @Donnicton, your Swinub is ready. Thanks for helping me out with this breeding project!

    They're both Adamant, 31/31/31/x/31/31, with Icicle Crash / Avalanche / Stealth Rock / Curse.

    One's a male and one's a female. You have any preference as to which one?

    Everyone else: I've got a bunch of others if you want one. They're all "imperfect" in some way -- not 5IVs, wrong nature, wrong ability, and/or egg moves got removed by the dumb daycare lady -- but they might be useful for your own breeding projects.

    @undergroundmonorail you wonderful insane person. I plugged that Bulbasaur into an IV calculator & it's IVs were 31/30/31/30/30. There was no need for you to go get the attack that high, too.

    I really appreciate it! Thank you!

    You gave me one a few days ago, which I'm using the jump start my Mineral Group breeding program. I got a bunch of 4IV ones breeding what you gave me with a 2IV Ditto, and now I'm hoping to get a finished product from the original 5IV and one of the 2nd gen 4IV females.

    But thanks! You're anything but nosy, but maybe too generous, since you forgot you helped me out already :)
