Thanks for the Carbink Neiteio! I tried to give you a good Eevee, but I don't have any yet. Lol.

You don't want it? I'd love to have it, but not if you want it. I'm fine with extra breeding.
Firemind-dono, you strike wildly with your sword as if something was in your rear. If you would like, I shall strike it with my weapon, but do not guarantee your safety.
I don't even know if Roar even worked against a Substitute now, just assuming since it is a sound-based move, ScraftyDevil-dono.
Those who played AA5 will understand me. Amazing game.
I think it does break Substitute. I'm pretty sure I've done it before.

Got it the first day, but have sadly delayed starting it playing this!
You're basically gambling with it. Drop it. Swagger can be worthwhile if you're willing to risk the opponent's doubled attack. (the doubled attack also affects how hard they hit themselves, which is why it's better than plain old confuse ray.)

Alright, finally:
I think that's every Pokemon currently available in X/Y. I have most of the remainder ready to go, too, sitting in a box in my copy of Black 2 waiting for Pokemon Bank. I just have to catch Entei in Superior Silver and I'll have almost everything but the event-only Legendaries, which hopefully won't be required to complete the National 'Dex.
I spent the last few days replaying Black to get a Reshiram and those three -Orus guys, only to find that you can't get Landorus without having both Tornadus and Thundurus. They're version exclusives, and you can't even see Thundurus in Black version, meaning you can't request it on the GTS, so I'm SOL. I'll just have to trade some Legendaries for it on the GTS once I transfer them over to X. Ugh, I really don't like B/W. I still can't believe Game Freak let those games out the door with the wild encounter rate as insane as it is.

You'll think no Sleep Clause is great until these guys start popping up.
Darkrai won't pop up on any rated battles and there are plenty of ways to deal with Breloom. Talonflame is probably my favorite.

If you're willing to spend 4 smackers and like torturing yourself the Dream Radar app is also an option.
If you're looking for a casual match Darkrai's going to put a huge damper on your day. Breloom is a fair point, but once Talonflame is out of the equation you have a problem and Taunt users generally don't enjoy getting smacked in the face with Breloom's attacks.

Swagger is also relatively safe to use on Walls and Special Attackers. Makes the gamble less risky.
edit: THIS PHANTUMP REFUSES TO PASS ITS HIDDEN ABILITY.
60% chance my ass.
Bidoof is pretty great too once all of its counters are out of the way.
Thanks, yea my experience with it hasn't been worthwhile but I wanted to make sure. Now I have a extra move slot for both Umbreon and Gourgiest lol.

Ah, thanks, I didn't think of that. I think it's pretty obvious that I do, in fact, hate myself at this point

Thanks man. And it's Merick.
I hope you aren't offended Neiteio. I really appreciate you breeding a Carbink for me.

Giving you a Gastly with max IV's in everything but HP and Timid.
Thanks again Neiteio!
Thanks again Neiteio!
Offended? Not at all. I suggested in that PM I sent to you that you take this fine fellow up on his offer. If anything, I think it's very kind of you to let me hand off a higher-IV specimen to someone else.
I thought you saw my message earlier in the day. I am sorry for having you get me one but I no longer need it. Sorry again.

5 Phantump children from parents with 5 IVs each. Only one had Harvest. And none had perfect attack -_-.
Ah, OK, so it was you. I'll knock you off the list. Well, guess that frees up another one.

Aw I though Pinsirinite was in Y like how Tyranitarite is in X but Tyranitar is exclusive to Y.

Thanks man. You Rock!Enjoy and welcome to the Carbink family!

Okay, good. Thanks again for taking the time to do this for everyone!Offended? Not at all. I suggested in that PM I sent to you that you take this fine fellow up on his offer. If anything, I think it's very kind of you to let me hand off a higher-IV specimen to someone else.

I'm IV breeding Froakie today, and I got a Timid one with 31/x/31/31/31/31.
Torrent ;_;
OK, that's nice to know.
Play it ASAP.
If it is a male, then it is time to celebrate. You can use that as a parent.
Sleep is not that great now.
It lasts only 3 turns at most, it doesn't reset when you switch out, and Breloom has been heavily nerfed.
Unless Whimsicott gets Spore and Parting Shot or something, I imagine Smogon will change their rules on that or something.
But even then, they'd probably just ban Whimsicott or something (I dunno how Smogon works).

My pleasure!
All of my Carbinks are actually a descendant of a Mystery Egg that was gifted to me by Busaiku. I hatched the egg, and used the mother to breed the perfect Carbink I use. And that Carbink, in turn, birthed the nearly 40 Bold Sturdy Carbinks now being sent around GAF.
The Grand GAF Carbink Colony!
How does sleep count turns? 1st turn: when you put them to sleep, 2nd turn: free move, 3rd turn: wake up?
You can be asleep that 3rd turn, but wake up on the next.
But you'd have to be lucky or unlucky.

It's male, but it took forever to get a single female with Protean, so I only got to put it in the day care a few minutes ago.

Don't worry about it! You put in the work to breed me (and lots of others) some great Carbinks, so I'm just helping out! I'll probably put in the work breeding this a bit more to get the IV's passed I want. Thanks again!
HypnoDarkrai is our true prophet.
He's the one that caught the Sturdy Carbink, and it had like 3 Perfect IVs.
The Progenitor Carbink :O
I love how we're all like in-laws now, lol
So the family tree goes HypnoDarkrai --> Busaiku --> Neiteio --> One billion people
Smogon generally resists banning combinations (The only major incident I remember of this is Garchomp with sand veil. And Lati@s with Soul dew, but no other pokemon can take advantage of that item.)
The thing is even if sleep lasts more than 1 turn it's a free setup turn and that mildly dangerous Darkrai or Breloom can be turned into a monster with Nasty plot/swords dance. If sleep clause isn't in place your opponent won't be able to switch to another pokemon because the sleep user can put them down too.

You guys are great I don't think I could have bred so many to giveaway.

Is a max IV in Speed for Carbink detrimental at all?
