I'll extend this by mentioning I have the ability to make Feebas, Cyndaquil and Mudkip eggs currently.

Working on getting more and more stuff as I can.

Could I get one of those Mudkips? I have Rain Dish Squirtles with Water Spout and Aura Sphere, haven't started on IV breeding them yet though.

Wonder traded a box full of leftover Honedge in hopes of maybe finding a cottonee or piplup, but instead I get a bunch of level 2-4 pokemon from route 2. On the bright side I did get a Protean Kecleon. I take it you goons with Japanese DSs are well into your breeding frenzies already?

For this Christmas I'm giving out all my 4 IV Bold Wish/Yawn Eevees over wonder trade. Hopefully I can get a cool pokebank guy, who knows.

Well within this time I have obtained a mudkip with egg moves curse, avalanche, counter, and mirror coat oddly enough.

Hopefully it'll remain that way for, like, forever. Rewards in cold hard items is always much better than just a piece of paper. Though I do like how the diplomas are now displayed in your room. Is that the same in XY? I haven't really gone out of my way to obtain them, you seem to have a fairly large shelf space.

And for being mad enough to actually complete the Pokedex, shiny Pokemon is definitely a great reward.

Does anyone know if this is for completion as in "catch all pokemon" or if you just need to see all pokemon to count as "National Dex Completion" for the shiny charm?

If anybody is willing to wait, I'll be happy to breed you guys something. You don't have to give me anything for it. The mudkips will also have at least 2-3IVs since she's going to be paired up with my 6IV Froakie.

I wouldn't expect anything else today, or for a few days, on account of all the new players who got 3DSes/Pokemon for Christmas trying out Wonder Trade!

I'm planning to do some wonder trading of random things holding Starf Berries later on. I'm not particularly expecting to get anything good in return. I didn't take the time to breed enough extra mons to do it lots and lots though.

"I got Pokémon X/Y for Christmas! What should I know?"

Firstly, apply the latest patch, you won't be able to take part in any of the Internet connectivity stuff until you do. You can do this free of charge using the 3DS eShop. Secondly, make sure you use Mystery Gift to get your special Torchic! You can only do this until the middle of January. After you've done those things, start playing and have fun! You can find a guide to the game for new players in the second post in this thread if you're feeling unsure what you should be doing.

If you have any questions then they may be answered in the OP, so please check it out, but if it doesn't help then ask away.

I'm happy with gengar, Azumarill and Talonflame. Love them. Just need to pack out the rest of my team
I've heard good things about Sableye - what's his niche?
Ferrothorn is also supposed to be beastly, what attack moves should I run on him?
What about Breloom? Are there any other good fighting types to get? Do I need to get his hidden ability?

How good is Rotom? I heard it's a cock to get.

Sableye gets an ability called Prankster, which allows it to use status moves with higher priority than normal. So people can taunt with priority, confuse you or burn you befor eyou attack, etc etc.

Rotom can only be caught on Tuesdays for whatever reason. But you could just get one off the GTS.

Just ask, even. poo poo man, I got Wonder Traded one just now.

Ferrothorn learns his best attack moves naturally: Power Whip and Gyro Ball. He's entirely usable with no egg moves at all, just give him a speed reducing nature and use Curse/Ingrain/Thunder Wave to round out his set however you choose. Then stick a Rocky Helmet on him and go to town. Breloom is... probably the 1st or 2nd most common Fighting type on competitive teams but you'll need one with its hidden ability Technician to make the standard version everyone goes crazy about.

Or use, like, literally any fighting type. Everything on that list can be pretty goddamn brutal. Fighting is probably one of strongest types overall. It's really hard to gently caress them up.

Thanks, I don't get that kind of team setup. Why would you hinge everything on something so easily nullified.

Does anybody have any good replacement ideas for Rotom-W, he really doesn't pull his weight but I need someone to off set the Dark weakness I have and I can't think of anything better. My main concern is Hydreigon and Greninja who are too fast for or bulky for Aegislash or Chandelure. I was thinking Scizor but that compounds my Fire weakness and I'm not really a fan to start with. I'd really appreciate any advice.

It's not like he didn't have other pokemon either. Take out the Skarmory and he could have been able to set up. I once beat some guy with multiple phazers on my Baton Pass team by wearing down his team and then sacking all my pokemon except Clefable so he wouldn't be able to roar it out and Clefable could Calm Mind its way to victory. As for the dark types, a fast fighting type like Unburden Hawlucha or a fairy special type tank like Florges or Sylveon could probably take those out if Hydreigon doesn't run Sludge Bomb.
