Wew lad.
helps boost emotional investment in your team
To each his own. I can't stand it for whatever reason.

i used to think the same way--then i started doing challenge runs involving permadeath, and i began to see how fun it could be

it also allows you to be creative, especially if you base your pokémon's names around a specific theme

Verbatim · November 28, 2016, 01:57:38 PM

On my way to creating my very first legitimate competitive team (ie. not on a simulator).

It'll be based around Drizzle Pelipper, but I'm not gonna worry about perfecting its IVs right now.

Coming up with dumb nicknames is like the best part about catching Pokemon

Did anyone actually name their Solgaleo/Lunala, Nebby? I was going too but I decided on this instead
Spoiler
Edward for Solgaleo

Alphonse for Cosmog

Spoiler
because Full Metal Body

Wouldn't you call Solgaleo Alphonse though?

It's annoying that Bank support isn't ready yet

Verbatim · November 28, 2016, 04:44:44 PM

So, you know how you can check your Pokémons' EV spreads in their summary now?

What the fuck do the colors mean on that chart? For most of my team, I see a small yellow hexagon inside a large blue* hexagon. What does this mean?

*This blue hexagon is brown for my Decidueye. I don't know what that means either.

nvm, i figured it out

It looks really good

Until I can actually be bothered to breed, I'm going through the Tree with Ash-Greninja/Buzzwole/Tapu Koko and they're doing pretty well

Tapu Koko is gonna be a huge threat in competitive. I can't wait to get my hands on him.

Ribombee has hands down been the mvp of my team so far. He'd be even better with those moves to boot.

I've got an extra competitive Mimikyu for trade. Perfect 5IVs, fully EV trained, optimized moveset and all. Anyone want it?

Mimikyu is an absolute monster in the Battle Tree. You can very easily get your Attack to +4 or +6 with Swords Dance and just sweep because the AI just has no idea how to deal with Disguise + Red Card. Most based Pokemon ever.

bump

Spoiler

I'll take it if no one else wants it.

Spoiler

plus I don't have anything worthwhile to trade in return

I'm going to breed a Weavile first, I'd usually rock Ice Punch, but I'm not sure what learns it so I got an Icicle Crash Sandslash and a Fake Out Alolan Meowth

Spartan · November 29, 2016, 04:24:33 AM

The breeding route sucks in this game

Spartan · November 29, 2016, 05:38:08 AM

I'm not sure how to get both Icicle Crash onto one Sneasel, I have a female with Fake Out and a male with Icicle Crash but breeding them only produces a baby with Fake Out

Verbatim · November 29, 2016, 12:53:53 PM

Who said Bottle Caps don't raise one of your IVs to maximum?

Serebii says otherwise. Do they or don't they?

Why don't they make another endless loop like the one outside the Eiffel Tower in X&Y and put it outside the daycare.
Or better yet ditch the shitty IV mechanic altogether so people don't have to go through this shit.

At the door to the Pokémon League, anxiously waiting for my friends to hurry and catch up so I can go in.

Spartan · November 30, 2016, 03:09:19 AM

I managed to sort out Sneasel (I got rid of Punishment on the parent and now I can get Icicle Crash/Fake Out on a Sneasel fine) so I'll try to get the best IV's for one. I did manage to breed a Mimikyu with best in everything other than Special Attack, which is fine.

Spartan · November 30, 2016, 03:18:23 AM

It looks like the Razor Claw is only available on wild Jangmo-o line

Does anyone know of any good nicknames for a male Mimikyu? It's currently my best bro mon and I can't seem to think of a good name for it.

The Patriarchy

Because it's a decoy that gets attacked instead of something real.

Onion · November 30, 2016, 05:01:38 PM

I hope Lillie comes back at some point when we inevitably revisit Kanto. Maybe as the champion or some other bigger role.

In the meantime, D/P/Pt remakes hype.

When you get a perfect Cutiefly but accidentally release the parent with the Destiny Knot and have to reset to not lose the Knot
