6th Gen X/Y Quick Q&A (Read First Post)

[Howmander]

Maybe it'd be better to let Zoroark's teammates handle Fairies? Sounds better than driving yourself nuts over a very specific IV spread.

And what does Aerial Ace cover for it that its other moves can't?

Well Aerial Ace gets both Fighting and Bug types, which dark is weak against, of which only flamethrower was good against bug and fighting was not specifically good at any of it's weakness types. But anyway, this is kind of one of my MANY complaints about competitive websites throwing on specific hidden power types on almost every pokemon. It's easy when you cheat or go onto battle simulators, but breeding for real to get those hidden powers in a real game just take FOREVER. Maybe I'll just take the 28 Zorua. (although I did get a Zekrom, Reshiram, Registeel and Regice from all my 5 and 6 IV zorua "rejects" so it certainly wasn't all bad experience! :D )

*face palm* Oh ****, how could I forget about Dark's Fighting and Bug weakness?

My first statement (that ended with a question mark, so is that really a statement then?) still stands: it'd be better to not have Zoroark take on Fairies. Leave that to its teammates.

I see there are only three locations for the moonstone in X/Y. Do they regenerate in these locations or is it a one time only deal?

you can get them from the Reflection Cave, Terminus Cave, Secret Super Training (Drag Down Hydreigon!), Route 18 (from Psychic Inver), also they are held by wild Lunatone.

the other way to get them is to play Balloon Poppin' on Pokemon-GL.com one of the 3 games has moonstone as a possible prize, prizes and scores are random, and it only cost 100 pokemiles, so you can score a few moonstones quickly along with numerous other rare/valuable evolutionary items and berries in the matter of minutes.

Sorrow has probably gotten the locations down but I gotta inform that Lunatone have a 5% chance of holding Moon Stones so if you want to increase the chance of finding one I recommend leading with a Pokemon that has Compound Eyes, good candidates include Butterfree or Vivillon.

And a note about the Inverse Battle, to get the evolution stones you need to land at least seven super-effective hits on Inver's Pokemon. Also, if none of your Pokemon faint in the battle you'll get three of a random evolution stone instead of one.

Pokemon with the Pickup ability can also start finding Moon Stones once they hit the Level 41-50 range, with a 4% chance. It eventually increases to a 10% chance once the Pickup user hits the Level 61-70 range.

Zorua

In my honest opinion, Zorua/Zoroark just isn't a pokemon you want on your team in Generation VI..
I tried running one on my early battle team and had it explode (die) instantly to fairies and whatnot >.>

so with the threat of high Special Attack stat Fairy types mixed with Zoroark's deplorable Special Defense Stat, it's just a recipe for instant death. i've encountered many zoroarks in battle, particularly triple battle, even while disguised as a resistant to fairy type, i still had literally 80%+ instant die, cause I always run my Xerneas on the field of battle that does dazzling gleams while my other two pokes do whatever other attacks (usually focus attack the threats to Xerneas).

prior to Gen VI, Zoroark was a decent opponent, especially since you can fool fighting types, but now with Gen VI it could be skipped over in my opinion because even if you sent out a zoroark against a fairy type disguised as a resistant or normal to fairy type, the % is high that most likely their fairy will still use a moonblast which will instant-kill Zoroark, and even if zoroark moves faster, a hidden power steel attack just isn't strong enough to take them out in 1 turn as fairies typically have high special defense..

Hello.How can I get the EXACT IVS of my pokemon.

Hello.How can I get the EXACT IVS of my pokemon.

Cash in your Pokemiles for a bunch of Rare Candies (buy them from the PGL online instead of in game, they're half price this way) save, then use the rare candies to level up your pokemon (it can vary anywhere from level 20 - level 100 depending on the pokemon) then type their stats into this:

https://www.serebii.net/games/iv-calcxy.shtml

and you'll get your IVs. then simply reset and your pokemon as back to where it was and all your rare candies are back.

If their pokemon has HM moves learned and is in their party box, then they need to move it out of their box..

but if it doesn't have HM moves and isn't even in their party box and it's failing, usually means there's somethign fishy about that particular pokemon..

earlier today I tried to exchange an entei for another member's entei as they had problems tryign to go into battle and i had an extra to spare.. it gave us that error, but I had figured out the reason it was not allowing it to be traded or battle is probably because it was in a Pokeball it should not belong in (safari i think it was),

that or it has errors in it's checksum data (such as a bad clone or poorly hacked pokemon).

 

[Azire]

I want to ask you something about cloned pokemon...
I was able to find in these last days lot of cloned pokemon when trading with people around the world (I mean, look how many shiny mew there are all around) and I have to admit that also me and my friend tried to clone some pokemons...
but I have to ask you:

-are these cloned pokemons considered hacked? I mean...can them go through the pokebank or they will be deleted?

-what do you think about cloning pokemon?

-is nintendo going to release an upgrade in order to avoiding duplicating pokemon?

Clones aren't seen as hacks. Shiny Mew is a hack though. You can't trade it on this website at all so don't try.

Nintendo probably wants to get rid of clones but they can't as they are made via glitches in the game. The data would have to be sent and removed at the same time in order to stop it I believe.

Nintendo says this:

Error Code: 006-0112
Situation:

You were disconnected while using an online feature, such as Pokémon Bank.
What to Do:

• If you receive this error code, move closer to your wireless router or access point and try again.
• If the issue persists, review your DNS settings, and update the settings to auto-obtain.
  • If this is already set to auto-obtain, you may try entering an alternate DNS, such as Google's DNS.

Situation Not Resolved:

If the issue continues for an extended amount of time, please contact Nintendo by calling 1-800-255-3700. Representatives are available from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., Pacific Time, 7 days a week.


Also looking on Google. i see someone got it working after they removed then reinstalled pokemon bank, so try that :D!

Lastly, Pokemon Bank may be finnicky at times, sometimes it will even refuse to let me sign in (i never pay attention to any error codes if any), so if it still doesn't work, give it 15-30 min and try again.

I tried removing it and then reinstalling it but still nothing. :( I've been trying at different times and I still get that damn error.

Maybe try using a DNS server like the suggestion by nintendo says, maybe that may help?

Here's nintendo's page on how to set up Google's DNS:

Why do Passerbys try to trade with you? I've never understood it. IDK what you want, random person, why do you wanna trade with me!?

 

[Xerneas_X]

Why do Passerbys try to trade with you? I've never understood it. IDK what you want, random person, why do you wanna trade with me!?

they want to trade so they can become your acquaintance, then if you trade or battle them again, then you have the option to add them to friends :D!

Also random passerby's trade request have yielded some good trades for me prior to Pokemon Bank's North American release.. it's how I got my Arceus, Victini, Mew, and quite a few other Previous Gen Legendaries.

But only times i don't like passerby trades is when the user is obvious a newbie :P and you can see they only have pokemon in their party and 1 partially filled box then try to offer me a Metapod, Pansear, or a Gibble or something like that, lol.

Well, pokebank is finally out for America and I have this one problem thats bugging me. I transferred one of my pokemons from B2 to Y and I tried to trade it on gts and it keeps telling me it is a "special pokemon and cant be traded" the thing is that it's a legendary and I cant breed it either.
Its a Deoxys btw.(Dont worry, I'm not crazy, I have a second one)

Event Pokemon (especially Event-Only Legendaries), which includes Deoxys, cannot be traded over the GTS or posted.
They can only be traded person to person directly.

The other Event-Only Legendaries that cannot be traded over GTS are: Mew • Celebi • Jirachi • Deoxys • Manaphy • Darkrai • Shaymin • Arceus • Victini • Keldeo • Meloetta • Genesect.

And normal Event-Pokemon that are in a Cherish Ball or have a Classic/Premier Ribbon also cannot be traded over GTS (such as the Mystery Gift Torchic we all received with X&Y)

Mega stones/ legendaries

I have both pokemon x and y, I would like to have all the pokemon and mega stones on my y game. Is there any way to get all the mega stones from x onto my y game. I also would like to know if there is anyone who knows how to get all the legendaries on to my x game like darkrai etc.

you just need to trade them, but you need to trade with a person and then they need to trade you back (GTS and Wonder trade won't allow mega stones or event legendaries as you know) but there is no limitation with person to person trades.
