What are thoughts are potentially running Defog on Scizor?

On Scizor? Why?

 

[spindashing]

edit: When should I use Destiny Knot instead of the "automatically pass this stat" item on a parent?

Immediately. In my opinion, and I'm sure others can back me up, there really isn't any use for Power Items for IV breeding in this gen now that Destiny Knot is here.

Odd choice, but what are the other moves?

So basically just get a good parent and destiny knot it? Replace old parents with better parents and continue until 5-6 perfects?

Yes. Remember that Destiny Knot, no matter which parent is holding onto it, will take 5 random IVs from both parents.

 

[Otakumegane]

On Scizor? Why?

Pretend to Bullet Punch/Set-up, they send in wall. Troll Defog U-turn out.

 

[Jarekx]

So i'm running this Chesnaught

Impish @ leftovers
252 HP, 252 Def, 4 Attack

Leech seed
Wood Hammer
Spiky Shield
Power-Up Punch

I'm thinking of dropping Power-Up Punch for Toxic and just becoming a really annoying physical wall.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

-I'm thinking about getting a Magnezone, should I go for sturdy or Magnet pull?

Edit: or maybe an eviolite Magneton??

Manger...ability. What does you team need; Magne sorting out pesky steel types (traditionally Skarm; don't know how well it can kill Lucario or that pesky keyring) or Magne being able to withstand a hit from a hard counter? (though weather permitting if it helps).

That reminds me, is magnet pull is announced when you switch in? If it isn't you can play mindgames (an opponent may be deterred from switching steel in and getting trapped), otherwise disregard that.

 

[CornBurrito]

Pretend to Bullet Punch/Set-up, they send in wall. Troll Defog U-turn out.

I mean the surprise factor seems lesser than just using a monstrous Bullet Punch set. They go "omg so weird DEFOG!!!" for all of one second... and then set up again later.

 

[Pegosaurus]

Yo, anyone been breeding Larvitar, Gligar w/ Immunity, or Carbink w/ Sturdy?

 

[spiritfox]

I have some Cabinks with Sturdy. They have poor IVs though. FC is 0404-6055-6338.

Should be fine, I can

Spoiler

hopefully

get them to the ones I want

 

[DaBoss]

Why Immunity? Why not go further and just get one with Poison Heal?

 

[ScraftyDevil]

I have a couple of spare Immunity Gligar that I stopped making after getting my shiny one. They don't have more than 3 perfect IVs, but they've all got the hidden ability and an Impish nature.

FC is 0404-6055-6338. I don't mind anything unless you have Protean Froggies or Gale Wing Fetchlings.

 

[Pegosaurus]

Only Gliscor gets Poison Heal, that's why I want Gligar w/ immunity

It would be awesome if I could get one of those!

 

[A random dude]

How is it possible that people are getting Dittos with 31 IVs in 4/5 of the stats? Is it possible to find a Pokemon with those kind of IVs in the Friend Safari? I've gotten dittos with 31 IVs in 3 stats, but not 4 or 5.

Pure luck.

Alright, my FC is 1375 8639 4921, name is Zach

It all boils down to luck.

No matter how many times you praise the RNG gods, they listen to no man.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

I'll PM you as soon as I'm ready to trade.

By the way, does anyone have any 3+ perfect IV Ditto? I'm willing to trade some 5 perfect IV Hasty Protean Froakies, an Impish Immunity Gligar or a Ditto of any nature for one.

i caught a 4 IV ditto last night.

it's all based on luck.

ok

 

[Jarekx]

Oh man, can I get in on this Sturdy Carbink action?

 

[nubbe]

Its Eevee mania, getting lots of eevees on wonder trade

 

[spiritfox]

Cool thanks for the Speed Boost Venipede. Kinda want to train one.

I have 2 more Sturdy if anyone wants.

sure thing, I don't know that ones IVs though

 

[Boss Doggie]

What the hell is that Litleo glitch

 

[spiritfox]

31 in sp atk and def. I guess I'll breed it.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Any news on any hidden Pokemon yet ):

 

[Not75Drops]

I just saw this image (not sure if posted).

The mystery of Dugtrio's claws will never be known.

 

[Fury Sense]

No way, power items rule!

Let's say you have two safari mons. One has HP/Atk the other Def/SpD. You want all four.

W/ Destiny Knot, offspring inherits 5/6 random stats from the parents.

(2/6) * (1/2 * 4/5) (1/2 * 3/4) (1/2 * 2/3) (1/2 * 1/2)

W/ Destiny Knot + Relevant Power item, offspring inherits 1 guaranteed stat and 4/5 random stats.

(2/5) * (1/2 * 3/4) (1/2 * 2/3) (1/2 * 1/2) (1/1 * 1/1)

The power item increases odds of a 4/4 stat inheritance by 300%!

 

[Pegosaurus]

I literally hate breeding Staryu

 

[DaBoss]

You can't use both Destiny Knot and a Power Item at the same time. Power Item takes priority.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

I only use Power Items for EV training now.
Breeding is always Destiny Knot+Everstone.

 

[KittenMaster]

I just saw this image (not sure if posted).



The mystery of Dugtrio's claws will never be known.

Reminds me of this.

 

[EMT0]

So trying to breed a pair of perfect Modest Nidos.

Current count:
-7 Nidoran F with 5 IVs, but flawed
-3 Nidoran M with 5 IVs, but flawed

The RNG is screwing with my head at this point, I know it. If someone wants one, feel free to ask. They are free.

 

[spindashing]

Hahaha, going from hatching Larvitar eggs to Marill...

These rats are hatching too damned fast.

Power Item completly overrides Destiny Knot. Destiny Knot is disabled and the mon will secure one IV and get 2 from the parents at random
Two power items have 50% chance each of passing down its IV.

 

[NaughtyPrawn]

Finally bred my first perfect pokemon.

A timid Larvesta

That took long enough. Going to try to breed more then offer them for trade in the other thread.

That's a whole lot of Math that I'm too lazy to try and make sense of it but I think I'll stick with Destiny Knot + Everstone, the best collab since Dre/Snoop.

 

[Jarekx]

My luck with Paralyze is terrible. I've got like an hour getting it off every game and not getting one paralyze.

Today is the day. 50 hours in and today is the day I defeat the E4.

 

[DarkKyo]

The mystery is revealed! It can rip a hole in spacetime and appear anywhere as long as it has a thin layer of dirt to create the rip under.

 

[ohlawd]

Power items do rock for breeding...

...

When one parent has one good IV worth passing down while the other doesn't. I wouldn't bother with the Destiny Knot unless both parents have a combined total of at least 4 perfect IVs.

Dugtrio lives in an enchanted Dirt of Holding confirmed.

 

[Astral/H3X]

Not sure why I thought trading my Ylveltal for what was supposedly a 5IV Ditto was a good idea...
