That bites, but I'm hoping for some way to get the opposite megastones without having to trade mine away. May have to wait for someone to gameshark them in though.

I'm pretty sure there will be some cool goons that will give their's away without wanting the opposite stone in return.

I mean I guess if you just really hate that pokemon or something. :confused:

I mean it's still bad to only give one per file, but I don't plan on using a lot of the megas and the ones I want to use aren't version exclusive so I might as well give mine away since they won't be any use to me. v:shobon:v

In addition to this you can find Goletts on the same route as Siglyph, Honedge on Route 6, there are Solosis in the cave with all the mirrors before the third gym, and Ralts and Abra, but I can't remember where you find them.

So I beat the game last night and I've started breeding up some mons. How the hell are you supposed to catch up a bunch of L1 monsters in the postgame? There isn't an entire half of the map to explore like in B/W, and it's not like there's a L70 Audino outside of PokeVersailles for me to beat up on over and over. Is it really just "Go the Unknown Cave and/or Elite Four and grind like a motherfucker"?

In addition to what everyone said, there's an Exp. O-power and you can use them on yourself.

I'm really starting to think they're hiding something else in game. The guy saying you'll visit his region in due time, the official X&Y pokedex book having 800 pages yet only ~720 Pokemon in the region, the second set of train tracks, and the fact that the guide really doesn't say anything about the post game leads me to believe there is something more.

E: oh yeah, don't buy the guide, it covers through the elite four and then abruptly ends with a TM list and item list.

Not gonna lie if there's nothing hidden in the game I hope they go the DLC route. Having access to the inevitable 3rd game content without having to start over would be nice.

My Blaziken has maximum speed EVs and its nature doesn't hinder it, it wasn't paralyzed the Bibarel used Surf, it was not scarfed because it used a different attack after KOing Blaziken, and it didn't have Moody.

Has anyone written up a guide for super training like how Ogen did for Pokemon Amie? Like what the purple sparks mean, the red goals, the yellow goals, timing for your high powered shots, what pattern to dodge in to miss the soccer balls, etc? Like an optimized time path to boost a stat?

I'm slogging though it by spam tapping the screen, but I'd rather have a better idea what I'm doing.

Also, has anyone found the EV reducing berries yet? I finally got some reset bags, but I'd rather target my mistrained Gible than do all of attack and most of speed over again

I found pomeg berries by cross breeding the restores hp, but may confuse berries and I have feeling that is the only way to get them for now.

Someone help me, I'm reading articles on Smogon, trying to build a competitive team for the time and I'm getting confused, mostly over tiers. Some of the Pokemon I want to use are in different tiers, can I use them together or do I need to find Pokemon that are in the same tier?

Actually how does everyone pick their mons? Do you follow the tier list or do you use your favorites?

Nibble posted:

If you follow the tier battling thing strictly, you'd only be able to use a team in the highest tier of any individual pokemon in it. So if you've got 5 RU pokes and one OU, that would be considered an OU team. Basically you can use something from a lower tier in a higher tier battle if you want, but never something from a higher tier in a lower tier battle.

Thank you very much this definitely makes things much easier and clears up a lot of confusion.

Don't worry about tiers. Just use what you want on your team. Tiers are only used in strictly regulated battles, and those are the ones that aren't fun. You can battle whoever you want whenever you want, so you won't have a shortage of opponents.

Plus, using mixed tiers has the added benefit of making insufferable competitive manchildren lose their poo poo. :v:

Actually if I'm reading the tier list right most of the Pokemon I want to use are considered good. :v:

Edit: I want a defensive fairy on my team which one is better, Klefki or Carbink? Also what would be a good nature for either of them?

3DS hacking in general isn't all that far along. There was a fundraiser to decap a 3DS to try and see what the insides look like and the bar seems to keep being raised for that. An exploit in firmware 4.1-4.5 was found, but the piracy device that uses it can't run Pokemon and Animal crossing because of their savescum prevention (but they're working on it, honest. Buy now $80.) There's also a 3DS save hack dongle and someone has managed to mess with Monster Hunter 4. There are also pictures out there of the legendary dogs.

Of them fighting or in the Pokedex? Because if it's the latter people in the cafe show you the legendary dogs for some reason.
