Good luck: Got a crit-capture on Zygarde with a Poke Ball. It was the last ball I had. Bad luck: the IVs on that Zygarde were 0/0/0/0/0/0. And a Modest nature, to add insult to injury.

My first encounter with Pokerus was way back in Sapphire. It's been so long that I've forgotten what pokemon I'd run into or which of my pokes got the virus. I had no idea what Pokerus was or what it did; indeed, I was barely even paying attention to what I was doing, until I realized that the...

Back when I was about 9 or 10, on my first run through Ruby I ran into a shiny Geodude in that cave north of dewford town. I had no poke balls to catch it with, so I ran, bought some balls, and proceeded to spend the next five hours looking for it again. The next day I discovered the 1/8192...

Health restoration is applied BEFORE Iron Barbs and Rocky Helmet damage, so if the mama's at full HP, the first Drain Punch won't do jack for you. Even after that, the 1/2 damage recovered will only barely leave her standing, if it overcomes the recoil damage at all. And this is without...

Oblivion Wing gets 10 base PP.

But, built right, it CAN survive to get off a Mirror Coat. That's all I needed to hear.

I remember someone earlier in the thread mentioning Wobbuffet as a possible counter to Xerneas. Can somebody check the numbers and see if a 252 HP / 252+ SpD Wobbuffet has a chance to avoid a OHKO from a +2 Moonblast and OHKO back with Mirror Coat?

Oh, I get that much. What I meant was, even if you use the same move repeatedly to imitate a choice item's aftereffects, people might wonder where that 50% stat boost is. They might assume you're using a move that wouldn't benefit from one choice item or the other, get suspicious at the...

How exactly would you 'bluff' a Choice item?

Took me multiple SRs, but I finally got a Xerneas that satisfied me (the RNG gods were seemingly upset with me, because Synchronize just wouldn't activate and give me a Modest nature). EV trained him up, and now he should be metagame-worthy, should I ever make the decision to step into that...

That so...? Well, I guess that means I just wasted a ton of balls for 8 heart scales. Forgot I was doing the same exact thing to my Chestnaught on my other game, alternating him between regular team member and HM slave.

Anyone know what the drop rate for Heart Scales is when breaking rocks with Rock Smash? I didn't want to waste time on my Doublade just to get Iron Head and Sacred Sword, and because of that I'll need to replace my Aegislash's entire moveset once I reach the move relearner. EDIT: screw it, I'll...

Yeah, Ralts is there. It's just a bitch to find... Which is why I simply traded over the Modest-natured Ralts given to me by Diantha in my other game. I played that game through with a Ralts, too, but then this one will just be a placeholder for my team's fairy type until I get Xerneas.

Drop to the bottom of the alphabetical list when searching for pokemon in the GTS. You'll find an option labeled "What pokemon?" where you can manually enter the name of the pokemon you're looking for! You can't search for a specific gender this way, though.

Okay, I'm not the most hardcore meta gamer, so I'm just going to neglect speed for Honedge. I've got full attack, 180 hp, and 72 special defense because they aren't exactly stellar on the special side of things. EDIT: Serebii's finally got rough BST estimates for the Kalos pokemon. Turns out...
