Topic: Pokemon X and Y

I caught a shiny Aipom in the Friend Safari today. Whoop whoop!

hey ive recently discovered the pokerus method personally and i was wondering if there are other things like it what i mean by that is if a pokemon is shiny it has a red star if a pokemon has had the pokerus virus it gains a smilly face what other things like that are out there. that give you more icons

How do I find out, if my Pokemon has a hidden ability? Thanks

Oh, so that`s what is it for, I was wondering what these icons mean...

You got Pokerus? That's extremely lucky - throughout my 12 years of playing Pokemon, I have contracted Pokerus only once. It doubles the amount of EVs you gain from each Pokemon fainted.

Also, there's no other icons like that, aside from Pokerus and the shiny star.

N's pokemon from BW2 get a special entry animation, idk if they get an icon too.

i have tons of pokerus pokemon.... well one of em got it n it spread like wildfire.. i shall trade pokerus for shiny :3 anyone? lol

shakes fist

Ugh. I've been trying to make a second team, just for the sake of having a second team, and things aren't going too well. I initially spent half an hour choosing the members, but I'm just not feeling it. Maybe you guys can tell me if this is a good selection or not because I'm just not doing as great with these guys as my A-team when they were growing...

Wailmer, lv. 33
Klefki, lv. 38
(Mega) Ampharos, lv. 38
Phantump, lv. 40
Inkay, lv. 37
Skarmory, 36

The thing is that each person has a certain playstyle with Pokemon. If you're into hyper-offensive Pokemon, take a look at Pokemon like Terrakion, Lucario, Hydreigon, Mamoswine, Breloom, and Excadrill. If you like playing defensively, Skarmory, Blissey, Hippowodon, and Celebi. Really, just look at what you like on Serebii or Smogon and decide for yourself - team building is largely an individual thing to do.

@razerer Yeah, rub it in my face. I have to wait until December to get Pokerus.

Kind of wish that I bothered to continuously transfer over Pokemon. I could surprise all of the trainers after R/S/E with my male Gardevoir and other impossibilities.

i actually got it from a wonder trade jpn ivesaur... im doing my best keeping it contagious by giving it to pokemon n putting em in my box... if anybody wants pokemon infected i dont mind helping with that.. since im stuck till pokebank come on to get some more pokemon... or maybe pokecheck goes live with their x&y support

Not that EV training is tedious anymore - 10 Horde battles and another normal battle at the most can completely max out a stat with a Power item.

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.
