Topic: Pokemon X and Y

Apparently, EVs now max at 252 instead of unnecessarily maxing out at 255.

Indeed - it removes another factor of potential mistakes when EV training.

Just a random question, does Gooey go both ways (you use an attack that makes contact with the opponent and vice versa) Or just one of the 2?
Im asking because i just bred a Goomy with an perfect Attack nature per accident, and an Speed-lowering Outrage sounds amazing.

Y'know, now that I think about it, some of my Pokémon over at Black 2 have 255 EVs because I couldn't be bothered to count. What do you think happens when I transfer them over here? Will some stats be redone to 252?

@CorporalPegasus - Contact with the Pokémon lowers the attacker's Speed stat. So it probably doesn't go both ways, but you can always experiment.

I'm now entering Route 12 from Shalour City and the lady sitting down is speaking in German. Anyone else experiencing this?

"Pokémon sind im Pokéball. Ich sitze auf dem Stuhl."

Weird...

You know, I think I found a plausible ingame reason why there's only 72 new Pokemon in this game: the Great War 3000 years ago wiped most of them out.

lol, that's intentional.

Goomy is doing well! She's up to level 31 already (from level one), and already knows one of the final moves I want her to know (Sludge Wave). It can't learn Flamethrower yet, though. Oh well. Anyway, it's already showing amazing potential in Special Defense, it's its second highest stat (behind HP). I've been EV training it in HP and Special Attack, with a little bit put into Special Defense and Defense (just for a little help).

Also, Restaurant Le Wow is awesome for training pokémon, guys! It's the best!

@Gioku As I asked earlier, can I get one without nickname or one specialised for me? I am available now

@Metroidlink: I'll be available in about an hour or so; I can just give you a Goomy egg that you can hatch yourself (and nickname yourself)!

Okay, so Trick-or-Treat is the best move ever; its description is:
"The user takes the target trick-or-treating. This adds Ghost type to the target's type."

That is the best description of a move, ever. 'nuff said!

Well that's a good point.

So, monochrome Pokémon rumor. Prolly false.

I have given it Power Whip, Earthquake and Aqua Tail, but none activate Gooey. Not sure if Outrage is any different, but i doubt it. Still an amazing abillity. Great special wall, and most physical attacks will result in lower speed. Might still train it further, if just for the element of suprise. (Opponent switching into a special wall, because most Goodra run special sets, go Outrage)

@Wonder_Mask Its real, but just unofficial, its caused by a glitch. GF likely will patch it silently (If they haven't already.)

Lol, no kidding! I actually find the move pretty useful in battle too!

On an unrelated side note, if anyone needs a Charmander, let me know. I currently have about 120 of them...

Another weird side note about Trick-or-Treat (and Forest's Curse) is that it doesn't replace the type; it adds a type, even if the opponent is dual type. In the case of a dual type, you end up with a triple type pokémon, which I might imagine has some possibly interesting implications...

Not really it just makes it really annoying when you accidentally give it to something that already has a typing that resists what you were hoping to hit with to take advantage of its new gained type. Although that is pretty gimmicky.

So Tyranitar can't learn the moves I was hoping to have it learn, so...I guess I have to go with Goomey like the rest of the world.

Sigh...the breeding process begins...

Stop being stupid Teejay

Holy crud I just had the most annoying battle ever! Some dude had a hidden ability Dragonite so my super effective hits wouldn't do much at all. He would roost back to full health and so again its hidden ability kicks in. Then he goes for substitute and then thunderwave. He kept alternating be substitute and roost for effing 10 minutes. Jesus! He couldn't even hurt my team. I'm assuming his strategy was to bore opponents into forfeiting!
