I hate how leftovers is suggested for like 90% of Pokemon for competitive battling. I only have one of those!

Smogon and other competitive players mostly use simulators. So yeah... just use not leftovers. Or use offensive Pokemon.

 

[MicH]

There are other semi-good healing items that can sorta replace Leftovers, like Shell Bell and Sitrus Berry

Black Sludge is actually superior to Leftovers if you're using a Sitrus Berry, and Shell Bell works really well on certain offensive-oriented sets (coughcoughENDEAVOR ARONcough)

I cant find Beauty Aimee anywhere. This is what I get for iv breeding a Klefki. The Pokemon gods are shaming me.

 

[spindashing]

Well, I'm going to run SwagKeys on Klefki, or at least start breeding...

I am just unsure whether to do Impish or Calm...

Edit: My condolences, Nub... If I do find an extra, I'll hand it your way if you don't have one by then.

What time is it where you are right now? I can't find her either. I'm guessing she comes in the evening.

I used to have 2, but I released one holding a Destiny Knot. If I had it, I would have sent it to you. =/

Im just gonna run around lumiose city battling everyone until she shows up. Ill probably fight her twice and get two of them in case this happens again.

I think there are ten people in Lumiose you can fight, and after you beat one they dissapear and another one pops up somewhere else in the city. Ill just have to battle them until she shows up.

Is Klefki actually good? My favorite Prankster has always been Whimsicott.

Do you still need that Anticipation Eevee? I can send a spare Destiny Knot along with it if you're still up for a trade.

Got an Archen on Wonder Trade. The next one was a Bunnery. It happens.

Ive got to go to class now, but ill be able to get on in about 3 hours.

Same situation as yesterday? Fair enough.

 

[CornBurrito]

Fuck fuck fuck fuck

I am so stupidly obsessive over getting a near perfect Xerneas. I had 31/28/2/31/31/31. And reset because the defense was a 2. Almost 5 perfect stats and the perfectionist in me would not allow it. The game needs to stop giving me high fucking attack IVs on my modest Xerneas.

Klefki seems pretty amazing, I'm running it right now with Swagger, Thunder Wave, Substitute and Foul Play which seems a pretty decent set.

EDIT: I just found a x/31/x/31/31/31 Ditto from the Friend Safari!

 

[bernardobri]

So, anyone knows why, despite streetpassing loads of people with the game, the Pokemiles don't seem to sum up? I'm still stuck in the ammount I got once, and that's it.

why swagger over a screen

 

[Antiwhippy]

Haha holy shit. Was fighting a gyarados/greninja/delphox team in rank and it came down to my weavile vs delphox. Weavile has incredibly low HP with life orb and delphox just came in, but had some health taken off from stealth rocks. I do pursuit, as it's the only dark type move I have, and it KOs her surprisingly, and life orb took my life down to just 1 HP.

Talk about down to the wire. Though I'm pretty sure that even if I got KO'd I would have gotten the win due to KOing his team first.

 

[spindashing]

For Foul Play.

 

[MicH]

I love the Pokémileage Club. Such an easy way to get heart scales and rare candies.

Kinda makes me wonder why they even put Rare Candy into the BP shop as I can't see anyone willing to spend 48 BP when they can get it for free by wonder trading

 

[Antiwhippy]

Toxic stall gliscor is hilarious, I have to say. I've taken down a garchomp just from toxic damage.

Huh, I didn't have to login into the website to get them. Now I registered my account and tried to sync up but the server is busy. Seems like I will have to try again later.

 

[theprodigy]

way too luck reliant, if confusion doesn't work you die

 

[DaBoss]

Wow, Avalugg is so shit in terms of Sp Def. What was GF thinking?

 

[Robin64]

How do I see the IVs of a Ditto I catch in Friend Safari? Is there something I just plug the stats into and it tells me?

I dunno, same reason why Blissey's defense is shit?

I got my timid protean froakie now along with my modest ralts. I am trying to figure out who my third would be for BP runs lol.

 

[Fury Sense]

Venusaur - Bruteroot

 

[Mr-Joker]

That's why you set up the Thunder Wave and Substitute first before hitting up the Swagger or in my case set up the Substitute first and then double team.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Poison heal gliscor with a toxic orb, with earthquake, toxic, protect and substitute. Mostly just try to poison them first and then just wall the hell out of them, and then slowly heal away with toxic orb, which does a pretty decent 12.5% I believe. You could even use roost instead of protect, just to make your recovery rate even more ridiculous. Make him as defensively bulky as possible. Also have teammates to cover his water and ice weakness, which you could just do with a bulky water type.

Earthquake for STAB against steel types and poison types.

Gengar wrecks you though, seeing that you can't do anything to it, but I have other mons to deal with gengar.

Works surprisingly well. I wanted to do a baton pass agility set at first but this one is so much more effective for my team. Other than water and ice he is surprisingly effective as a physical wall.

which you can do without running that gimmicky set

 

[Neiteio]

Swagger has been on nearly every Klefki set discussed in this thread. I've been running this set myself and it works beautifully. Yes, it won't work all the time, but often the paralysis/confusion combo creates a great deal of frustration for the opponent. Also, if the enemy can't be hit with Thunder Wave, you can use Swagger instead. And of course it powers up Foul Play. It can be a lot of fun.

Nice! I guess it's Def and HP EV?

And for the Hidden Ability, there is gliscar in safaris? I need someone with one of them haha.

No it isn't.

I only play buy the official tournament rules set by The Pokémon company and not Smogon.

Pfft, additional community rules.

 

[Antiwhippy]

HP is max, but I split between speed and def actually. He has pretty decent speed so why not make use of it?

Also no luck in the safari. I had to capture gligar from hordes in route 19, and let me tell you what a nightmare it was. I can spare a few immunity gligars if you want to breed them though. Can't guarantee good IVs because I quit at the first good IV gligar I got. Breeding for hidden abilities is a pain in the ass.

 

[Caladrius]

Even being paired with dragon and given a base stat total of 700 an Ice type still managed to get put into OU.

Oh, that would be awesome, don't worry for IV, I can do it myself, I got quite an army of IV dittos. I'll PM you.

Why after a draw one of the players is assigned win and another loss? I mean, it's a draw

 

[Not75Drops]

I spend 15 minutes looking for a Huge Power Diggersby. I finally find it and use False Swipe. "The wild Diggersby used Take Down!". Oh well, shouldn't be too hard to find another one. The one I found was Male so it would've been more difficult to pass down Huge Power anyway.

Why after a draw one of the players is assigned win and another loss? I mean, it's a draw

GF made it like that intentionally. For example, if each player is down to their last Pokemon and one of them uses Explosion/Selfdestruct, that player loses. I can't remember what it's like for recoil moves, Life Orb or Rough Skin/Aftermath/Rocky Helmet.
