anyway, pastriez, i'm pretty sure you can get a larvesta egg before the e4, on route 18? at least, i think you can. I know you can't catch the wild lv75 one until afterward.

Also, D_W: Moxie Gyarados > Intimidate Gyarados y/n?

You can get the egg as soon as you have surf.

Moxie is an amazing Ability. ~~Two thumbs~~ Eight tentacles up here.

Moxie is great on a physical sweeper with lots of coverage, Intimidate is great on anything that works like a tank. Gyaraos COULD work as something tankish and it's speed is only VERY slightly above average (81 instead of 78) but my main problem is that I sort of don't think that it's coverage is all that great. Moxie doesn't really help if you need to switch alot, unlike Intimidate...

I suppose you could do something with Earthquake, Stone Edge and Dragon Tail...

I prefer intimidate. With power creep (weirdly) Gyarados foes increasingly well as a bulky-water. And OJ's right, Gyarados's speed and coverage make it difficult to sweep any significant (and consecutive!) amount of pokemon. But Moxie Salamence is really good, right cA? I haven't used Moxie Scrafty, my Scrafty Roxie doesn't moxie, she sheds shkin.

Also I hold out that Stealth Rock will get SOME form of nerf (even indirectly) this gen at which point Intimidate Gyarados gets a boost, unlike Moxie Gyarados which doesn't like switching.

Edit: who is Pastriez? You're not referring to Crumpetz, are you?

This Volcarona is indeed the one from the egg. The one I got from the Relic Castle is named Mothra.

I thought you did need flash in twist mountain? Are you sure? I might've taught it flash for something else, I don't really remember. I never did catch a Cryogonal in Black, though I tried.

by **Hanky Panky** Sat Aug 10, 2013 9:01 pm

I honestly don't know anywhere where flash is required in Unova. I mean, I know there are -some- places, but I can't think of any right now.

by d_what Sun Aug 11, 2013 4:31 am

Not required, but that cave you get Axes and Cobalion in 1, right? Is that it, though...?

by phantasmalDexterity Sun Aug 11, 2013 7:42 am

THat also exists in the 2 too and you need flash on the second level of the Relic Castle.
But you only need it for extra areas.

This was it.
Mystery solved.

EDIT: Also, I drew a thing.

Hey, remember when I was posting my Team from Yellow?

Blue:

A few things to keep in mind:
It's been a LONG time since I played, I was MUCH younger and there weren't as many attacks back in the days...

Oh, also, YES I used Candy to get everyone on level 75 but I never used Candy on Blume. And Tentoxa is actually nicknamed Tentoxa, so that it would have proper upper and lower case letters.

drega i just realized the team you posted right at the beginning has three of the seven known mega evolutions is there something your not tellin us because that seems very suspicious

by **Hanky Panky** Sun Aug 18, 2013 2:38 pm

drega's secretly a NOJ employee working on X/Y and....................

THAT'S HOW THEY GOT HONEDGE! YOU BASTARD!

by tinning3 Sun Aug 18, 2013 3:32 pm

We all knew there was a leak somewhere here, now we know who it was.

by **Hanky Panky** Sun Aug 18, 2013 3:42 pm

for future reference, no one tell drega anything. send it straight to nintendo instead.

It's funny because I speak German, not Japanese mspa

by d_what Thu Sep 19, 2013 5:45 pm

Screw it. I'm gonna commit.

CHESPIN

FLABÉBÉ

HELIOPTILE

SKRELP

BUNNELBY

RANDOM FLY SLAVE

I'm gonna pull a BW and avoid having any older gen mons, including Bulbasaur. And I'm avoiding spoilers for them, too - hope they're not available too late. I figure if they all evolve with the right typings (Grass/???? Fairy/Grass, Water/Poison, Normal/Electric, Normal/Ground) then I'll have every weakness covered handily and hopefully most resistances too. As long as they're all well balanced and none of them are really shitty.

I hope Bunnelby gets Ground Sad

Mono fairy flabebe wouldn't be too bad as long as it has good stats, with or without evolving.

Guys would you mind rating my team so far? I need to come up with a good, solid team for a little tourney I'm doing with some friends. The plan after that is to have this as my gen 6 team though, so I want it to be as good as possible.

So Far I have: Aegislash, Greninja, Mega Gardevoir, Gliscor.

I was thinking of having Mienshao as my lead, Mienshao is an excellent lead. I don't have to, though.

What do I need? I kinda want to be able to balance out my weaknesses here, so that I can take out pretty much anything if not super-effectively then with neutral STABs (the attacker needs to resist the opponent in this situation ideally though). I'd like to use Kalos Pokemon as much as possible. I tend to prefer using sweepers, but I'm perfectly able and happy with a tank/stall Pokemon or even a status inducer, those are always fun.
