Being a Grand Duke is freaking amazing, with all writs activated, challengers flood in faster than I can clear them, and their levels aren't complete shit.

Yeah it takes a while to get Grand Duke but it's definitely worth it.Jinxy wrote:

I thought only one writ could be in effect at a time? Regardless, I've been meaning to level up in the Chateu as well. How long does it take/what's the fastest way to level up?Jinxy wrote:
I use Silver (increases rate), Gold (prize money) and Black (+20 levels) writs.

if only you could use pokeradar in the friend safari, it'd be so much easier to catch a shiny eevee.. *sigh*Jinxy wrote:
There are also rumors that the Friend Safari basically functions like a permanent 40-chain, because shinies caught in a 40-chain also have 2IVs. You could try looking for Kirlias in a Fairy Safari.

The OU council has concluded that Blaziken and Deoxys-N, two Pokémon allowed initially in XY, will be quick-banned from both current XY OU and PokéBank OU. This means that there will be no public vote; the council has simply decided that this is necessary. Both have been preeminent threats since XY's inception, and are detrimental to the balance of the tier. Blaziken is simply a monster sweeper. Its power is unparalleled, being virtually impossible to counter or even check if the player lacks a Talonflame or Azumarill on his or her offensive team. Defensive teams can opt for Slowbro, defensive Gyrados, or in PokéBank Jellicent, but these Pokemon just are not cut out for any other team in this metagame. With the addition of Baton Pass to its movepool and thus the ability to passed the boost it gains from Swords Dance and Speed Boost, it can pass to a teammate that could handle it."

Agreed. I've seen many threats to Blaziken such as Mega Alakazam and Gale Wings Talonflame that completely destroyed my Blaziken before it did anything since it's somewhat fragile. (Mega Alakazam taking Speed Boost from Trace too).Blazevoir wrote:
...But seriously, I'm somewhat calling BS on that.
I wouldn't mind other people using a Speed Boost Blaziken against me, it'd just a nice challenge to defeat it. That's all I have to say about it. (I'm nowhere with my 6th gen team yet.) Also, why is normal, aka Blaze Blaziken banned as well, by the way? Now I call bullshit on that.Professor Prinny wrote:

My Blaziken worked well with Dragonite in double battles so i'll be missing it again
Though regardless i'll still probably use it.Agreed. I've seen many threats to Blaziken such as Mega Alakazam and Gale Wings Talonflame that completely destroyed my Blaziken before it did anything since it's somewhat fragile. (Mega Alakazam taking Speed Boost from Trace too).Blazevoir wrote:

Just use a faster Pokemon from the offset and or have a good priority Pokemon like Aqua Jet Azumarill and you'll be fine against it. Heck there are a few Pokemon available that can tank it if the Blaziken runs Protect instead of Swords Dance.
Their argument is basically you need such pokemon to counter Blaziken, which reduces team diversity, afaik.Professor Prinny wrote:

ugh, same habit hereStefan wrote:
Just threw 500k out for clothes.. my bad habit.
I probably should have just put them as examples for countering it, but yeah I guess you do have a point about losing team diversity just to counter Blaziken.Jinxy wrote:
