    Yeah I read recently that he's about the only thing that has no weaknesses, though it can be thwarted in a couple ways.

    Or other pure electric types holding an Air Balloon, which pops easily.

    He probably won't ever eat a super effective attack in single player play. I'm not sure how common Mold Breaker is in multiplayer either right now.

    Pretty good moves?

    Surf and sometimes waterfall. HM moves are mostly subpar.

    My issue with HMs is that they rarely make the game more interesting- they don't provide puzzles, or interesting challenges, they just provide road blocks. The ones that AT LEAST aren't also bad moves are the ones people don't seem to mind- people care less about having Strength on their Pokemon than Flash, or (Gen IV) Defog, for instance. But this is just because they are the least burdensome on the player- its not very exciting to have your Pokemon use Cut on a tree and then just keep walking, there's nothing to it. The real solution is to make HMs interesting to use.
    yeah, and they also put a billion prompts to use freaking cut ona freaking bush.

    And yeah, @UncleSporky, I have bred Rotom for each forme.

    Speaking of which, I'm still jonesing for the non-spring Sawsbucks and Deerlings, if anyone could breed me 2 deerlings (or one Sawsbuck) of each season I'd be delighted.

    I can make a billion Polar Vivillons for anyone who wants them, BTW, and I have a few spare of other patterns.

    Your Summer, Fall, and Winter Deerling are ready (only HD time to breed one of each)! Free tomorrow evening for trades?

    Oh, thanks so much! I think those 3 are enough for me to get the Sawsbucks too!

    Let us exchange FCs, and I can trade mons whenever it's good for you. Do you want anything?

    Sure! My FC is in my signature, so feel free to send me yours in a DM or reply here!

    added you on my side, my fc is in my sig too. Whenever you're ready!

    Signing on now, but got "Server is undergoing maintenance."

    Yeah, got that too. No worries, I'm in no hurry.

    And yeah, @UncleSporky prolly knows he can hit me up any time for those mons, but I'd guessed he wants to try other means first.

    Online currently - if you're around, let me know!

    I see you in game, will call you for a trade now. I'm Ceres over there!

    EDIT:
    Thank you SO much, and sorry for the lame mons I sent back. At least they're from outside NA, so they could be useful in making shiny pokemons.

    There are 18 regional Vivillon formes, plus 2 event specials. And even if you get hold of a different region's pattern via trade, the babies will also have your region's pattern. So all you can do is trade and trade, and you can't even help your buddies with this unless you trade duplicates.

    I mean, Defense is its lowest stat so it takes less of a hit with the Mild Nature, and its not like it was going to take a hit defensively anyway, so I guess if you wanted a mixed attacker with emphasis on the special attack its pretty good? I always hate getting almost perfect spreads that are just slightly off.

    edit: http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/another-mew-is-in-the-news/ Make sure your Trainer Club Emails are working because Mew is coming to town

    It is practically raining legendaries at this point.

    Well, they are in the habit of sending highly "Spam-like" emails that invariably get dumped into obscure folders and have titles that never mention the gifted pokemons.

    I decided to keep that Hoopa. Its defense is the lowest stat but it wasn't going to take hits from normal attacks anyway.

    don't think it's out, no. Some of us did receive the Legendary Birds one, though, that's what we're referring to.

    Hmm. Something's not right, no. I usually do codes, not fairshare. I think they may have added that tag because people kept using code, but...

    I do believe it always shows as loading for the maker though?

    Lightning Spider is ok. Lightning fish eel thing is where its at though. Levitate means he has no weaknesses and his defensive stats are great. Slow as all hell though.

    It has a lot of interesting moves that work together.
