EV Item + Pokerus + Sweet Scent + A Earthquaker to babysit your pokemon = 50 EVs per Horde

This is insane, you can finish EV training a guy by like 15 minutes. Also it's fun to watch Spindas drop like dominoes.

Using this method to EV train my 31/x/31/31/31/31 Frogadier right now.
Do you perhaps have some list about which hordes are good for each EV gain? I could totally use that.

Does anyone happen to have a Clauncher and Swirlix they could assist me with acquiring? I have the whipped dream already, but the GTS requests for these are stupid.
Trash Boat
The Triple Battles and Rotation Battles also came back?
Azure_Kite
Yes, they did.

I can catch one real quick, though, IIRC, Jinxy is breeding some perfect/with good IV ones so if you'll be using it to fill your dex then I can go and catch one.
And yeah, I can trade a Swirlix too-

I'll be sending you an request as soon as i have both together since i don't have much time left in my hands :/
Will be inactive for 3 days or so w/o pokemon. D:
Azure_Kite
Yeah, just got a Clauncher :D

I'm just getting a Swirlix now, by the sounds of it. Thanks for the help though :)

Battle Points are hilariously easy to get in the Battle Institute. You're almost guaranteed to get 9 BP for 5 battles. Hell, you could forfeit all 5 battles and they still give you 3 BP for getting 0 points!

EDIT: Beating 3 and forfeiting 2 seems to be the most efficient way I've found so far to get Super and 9 BP.
It's not really that bad. The first 3 are pretty easy in my experiences, and the last 2 only gives me problems if I'm unprepared (I DIDN'T KNOW AURORUS HAD THUNDER SORRY GRENINJA). If you really have trouble, forfeiting all 5 battles is an option.
For real? Once I get a couple more nice Pokemon under my belt I'll be doing that.

And yes, pseudo-flawless breeding FTW.

I tried that 3win2forfeit strat already, works pretty flawlessly. Easy 9 BP, unless you screw it up somewhere (hard to do).

Guess I'll try then, though I don't use teams centered around strategies, so (read: I'm more of a casual player)...

I used some of my mons I beat game with, all non-proper EV and without proper natures - Lapras, Delphox and an Aegislash. First trainer uses non-evolved mons, which are easy. I think second guy also doesn't use fully evolved ones. Third already gets them but it's not a hard fight anyway.
Zerostarry
I actually lost 2 battles there cause I have no ****ing idea what the typings are for Gen V pokemon. (I skipped that gen)

Also, non-EV/IV pokes
Noobita
umm, can anyone calculate Yveltal's IVs for me if i post its stats and nature? ._.

You can try using this.

Dang, I figured Pokerus with the EV item would be faster than super training. But I never even thought about using hordes.
Trash Boat
why Nintendo took so long revealing the Mega Evolutions? they were already on 1st gen, accord to Pokémon Origins
Edit: sorry to change the topic, but Xerneas has been revealed as a Pokéball Pokémon on the next Super Smash Bros game, accord to the official site. i hope Yveltal and Zygarde will be revealed, too.

I did the 3win2forfeit thing precisely because the last 2 fights actually had some semblance of strategy and I did end up losing sometimes. Through, they still don't switch out. I had my Mega Mawile set up on a (Toxic Stall I think) Shuckle and proceed to use Huge Power Sucker Punch with +6 attack boost to OHKO the rest.
mathexpert
Currently grinding for 9 Eevees w/ premier balls ;_;
Jinxy
If you breed them, the child inherits the mother's pokeball I think
mathexpert
Yeah, you're right (I've already bred one) but 9000+ steps is even more painful. I'll be using the bred one for Sylveon since it needs a fairy type move (it gets it @ lv 9) though~
Rorona
How do people plan on spending their Poké Miles?
I actually would like to know, I don't really see a use for them.
NaomiMinette
PP Up's for me.
Trash Boat
does anyone that has a 3DS enjoys the 3D effects with 3D ON?
Not talking to you, Rorona
Azure_Kite
I've been getting a few thousand at a time and spending them on Rare Candies, it speeds up evolution a lot for me, and considering I'm aiming for a living pokedex, and am three pokemon away from having every Kalos pokemon....

EDIT: Kalos region pokemon are all mine, from Aegislash to Zygarde.

Get a fletchling, or whatever the second/third evolution is called. Halves the amount of steps needed, and bikes count.

Also, I ended up getting a shiny two days ago, a Mawile to be exact. From a egg, after I only managed to find one and mated it with Ditto. Feels good man.

Does the prof give anything, like a oval or shiny charm?

Does it? I didn't get the megastone thing for it yet, still around Route 17. Breeding Pokemon for hopes of shinies and all that. Plus trading for Y specific pokemans.

I'd like a Mawile, if you have an extra one ^o^
Faust
As would I ! Though I won't be on till the 30th or so.
Bestelle
I do have about 8 more I think, just trying to figure out how to edit myself into the google docs thing, never tampered with this shit before.
Faust halp

Edit: Scratch that, 12 more.

Boomkin_old_1
i have a spare mawile if you still need it Rorona
Rorona
I'd love one, just uh...I'm kind of tired, it's about 1:30 in the morning here, and I just played two marathon songs to try to get my rank back up :o

Those are seriously exhausting.
Ciunek
Finally got Hatching O-power before going to sleep yesterday. For the Style check, go to Lumiose City where you buy Stones (or use a Taxi) - once the price drops to 50k, you're stylish enough to receive the final o-power from Cafe Introverse.

Just realized something, you know the leader Valerie, the fairy with weird looks and style? I remember watching a video about Valeria Lukyanova (just go google images with her name), I swear they based her off that girl.
Jinxy
I still have 10 mawiles I bred just sitting in my PC box someone pls

Relatively good IVs, with 2-3 31s and a few 25< IVs if anyone wants them

EDIT: i wish i was this good at pr videos

I meant the new pokes :P

I still need like 50 of the classics to complete the Kalos Dex

EDIT Jinxy you should totally check out my PR video. Although I wish there was finer time granularity than 1s intervals.

I agree but it's fun to make PR videos regardless.
I would have loved to have a hair flick pose though.

Edit: Just made a new one if anyone wants to see just ask when I'm on.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Oval Charm was brought back, but we most likely won't be able to see what he gives last until December.

Wait, are you talking about the starter Mega Stones? If so, that goes down to 10K.

I was disappointed that you couldn't enter custom text... I was gonna try and do something deep :(

Yes, I know the price of those stones can drop to 10k, what I meant is once you get the 50k cost you're stylish enough to get final o-power.

The "pants" look more purple, and the chompy mouths are pink like regular Shiny Mawile.


I also just realised how much I missed out on the routes, since I played through without a HM slave. Went on a journey around Kalos again and walked out with a bunch of pretty sweet TMs, including the Dark Pulse I needed for Greninja.
