A Shiny Eevee?

Any chance I can clone it and trade it back? :) The cloning DSi is across from me right now, so both systems are available. I'll trade one of the Pokémon I want to evolve as a promise to return it if you want (namely, Graveler evolving into Golem, I need Golem's entry and it also clears the entry in W2 for you, where its breed isn't found; yes, you're welcome to breed Geodude while I clone as it's female).

BTW, I decided to give Swablu Aerial Ace. Imagine my surprise when I didn't find it in my inventory. I didn't know we had an event to have it appear on the runway! Figured that out, I now have it and Swablu knows it.

Axew was easier: only Dragon Claw gets STAB. I gave it that.

Working on the Pal Pad now, but quick cake break. Someone's birthday here (not mine).

I'll accept the Cacnea and Spoink from White. After all, they're not Dragons. ;) I'll be prepared for three garbage trades when trading there. :D Will bypass W2 code.

I grabbed one of my special Tepig clones to send to Black (in the event you ever, you know, want a Tepig with Yawn, Fire Blast, and Taunt at birth along with Tackle). I also have five of my Keldeo now, so I can use one of those. Anything else will likely be one of the many clones currently in my Trade box; once I have Kanto and Johto fully (or almost fully) imported, I'll be trying to organize my boxes better.

Hmm...maybe I'll send you a Jirachi. It's a legit. Wishmaker one, SMR2010. ;) I can also send you a Japanese Ditto clone (mine pretty much lives in the daycare, no need to have it battle at Lv.100). That takes care of three from Black...how many do you want to send me from there? I have precisely 11 pairs of clones (originals in other boxes) in the "TRADES" box right now. None of the Dragons will be traded until you're on the White code, so basically, I'll keep trading if you do. LMAO :)

Duly noted. Will grab the 3DS and make room in my Pal Pad; I have two empty lists, but want to remove people I've already traded with and don't have more trades planned with instead of just tacking to the end. :D Besides, I have to figure out how to transfer Pokémon tonite, which I can play with later after I catch a few of the Pokémon that I'm missing in Black. :D

New thing I'm trying to figure out now...if the Pokémon are all on different games, I somehow have to get all five I'm trading to your new(ish) game run for the Dragon run. Are we going to include some garbage trades in some cases here? LMAO Or should I send an "unwanted" Egg for these ones? LMAO

Okie, let me know which FCs to add. :)

BTW, did you want all of the Eggs unhatched? Or do you want me to hatch any (like Swablu) to add a TM move? I know Deino will be unhatched, and Giratina/Rayquaza aren't really an option.

Yes, go ahead and add my Black. Send all five DW Pokémon for trade to the same game so we can do all of the trading at once (to review: Axew, Swablu, Deino [already hatched], Giratina, and Rayquaza - the legendaries at Lv.53 and Lv.50 respectively), and of course the list of Pokémon I'm most seeking is those Hoenn ones I found in the list (Chatot is on that list of options, though I am sure I can find one on Pearl or Platinum at well). Let me know which FC they're on. :)

I did finish SoulSilver officially today, at least the Johto run. Spent an hour running around figuring out the borders of the area I'm currently allowed to travel in. Disappointed I cannot currently travel to Route 22 and unlock the path between Kanto and Johto, knowing I can fly there to quickly get to either region again. (Just for fun, I did Action Replay using walk through walls and went into the Mystery Zone, then north into Route 22 through the rocks; hilariously, I had the path unlocked between the regions without finishing the E4. Obviously I did not save that...)

(EDIT: Missed you by four minutes!)

All right! Need your FC plz. :) See my sig. for mine.

Egg details for Axew:

Egg 1: Calm ♂, Mold Breaker
Egg 2: Quiet ♂, Rivalry
Egg 3: Relaxed ♀, Rivalry

Rivalry "deals more damage to a Pokémon of {the} same gender", while Mold Breaker allows moves to be used that normally would be hindered by abilities (for instance, Earthquake used by a Mold Breaker Pokémon will hit a Pokémon with Levitate). Scratch and Night Slash (requested Egg move) are the known moves.

As for Swablu:

Egg 1: Adamant ♀
Egg 2: Naughty ♂
Egg 3: Relaxed ♂

They all hatched with Natural Cure, which "automatically heals status ailments upon the end of a battle". I did breed using the DW one, but no Everstone or anything, so this is what I ended up with. I think this is actually more useful than removal of weather effects. They know the standard Peck and Growl moves, so I'll pick a TM I have to teach to whichever one you select if you want it hatched. (Same with Axew, though it has its Egg Move already.)

Three new Eggs for Axew created. Next question: trade hatched (for Axew/Swablu, obviously I know Deino you want unhatched) or trade unhatched for all three?

If unhatched, I'll figure out what each of the three is and put them up in the order I list them in each case. I'll select the Deino you requested and only put that Egg up for trade in that instance.

If hatched for the other two, you can see the summary of each when selecting one. :)

So stupid me, I decide it's a great idea to breed while driving. The first went without a hitch; I have three unhatched Eggs that I will gradually inch towards hatching, then find out what your options are for the Swablu.

The Axew is turning into a much different story. I have a Lv.50 Druddigon that I've had since my visit to Dragonspiral Tower. I get to the daycare with it, the DW Swablu (at the time unbred and untouched), and my Lv.63 Haxorus. After breeding Swablu, I warp to Mistralton and teach Druddigon Night Slash through the usage of a Heart Scale. I return to the daycare and go to drop the Pokémon off.

It's then I realized something important: Druddigon is female.

Cue a warp to Icirrus, during which time I'm getting into the city IRL so I am not paying attention to anything on the game at all except what I run into at the tower. Fortunately, Haxorus knows False Swipe, something I was reminded about when I checked moves in battle after it knocked out my DW Swablu (the weakest party member I had at the time with me at Lv.40). I caught the Druddigon, then realized it was ALSO female. Also, during this catch attempt, I realized I had no Quick Balls, Repeat Balls, and an overall lowering inventory of PokéBalls of many types (mostly due to the fact I don't have a lot of Pokémon left to catch for Pokédex purposes, I know of Dreamyard and B7 of the ruins at Desert Resort for a few stragglers). Warped to the PL. Bought to an inventory holding of 10 of every Ball they sold (Dive Balls exclusive to Undella Town area and excluded from this as they don't help against dragons). I wandered around the tower some more upon return to Icirrus City. I finally found another Druddigon; female. Repeat again. The next one I found was a Lv.32 MALE, thank heavenly God. I throw a Quick Ball. IT DOESN'T STAY CAUGHT. By now, I'm about to purchase a late lunch, so I have to close it up for later.

Return to the game. I False Swipe the thing down to near-death. Meanwhile, it's doing good damage to Haxorus thanks to Rough Skin and its own attacks. (I had parked at a store by this point and was fully concentrating on this damn Pokémon. :D ) At one HP, it refused a standard Pokéball and knocked Haxorus out that turn. "Why you stupid..." I proceeded to chuck the damn Repeat Ball, which I didn't really want to use here, after my next Pokémon got sent out; that ended the battle.

Game closed for a while. I decided to do the drone back-and-forth Audino hunting on Route 11 while driving home (as I needed Druddigon to reach Lv.40 for Night Slash). I got home with a couple levels to go and sat in the car getting to that point. Saved standing outside the daycare. That's where I am now.

So in other words, a whole lot of work and a whole lot of nothing accomplished yet! :D All I have to do is breed now, then save my trio (or whatever, both Pokémon are mine) of Eggs after generated, then I can do options hunting again. I'll just hatch and say goodbye to the ones you don't select so they don't cloud up space in my PC (I'm going to use the second PC on W2 to transfer some stuff to once I am able to send some expensive cloned items to buy a whole bunch of Pokéballs to catch garbage trades in, giving me more freedom of space, not to mention sending a baby or two for use in the maingame; Miracle Eye Gothita is perfect for transfer as it's not in the game).

So which Deino did you want? From an earlier VM, all have the Hustle ability, and all know Tackle/Dragon Rage at birth:

Egg 1: Lonely ♂
Egg 2: Same as Egg 1
Egg 3: Modest ♀
Egg 4: Hardy ♂

Working on the Axew while traveling today, will try to get Night Slash. Will also see what happens when I Ditto the DW Swablu. Provided I have both Eggs ready (again, may hatch a couple with different natures), I can trade as soon as this evening. Giratina and Rayquaza are on standby as well already in the Trade box.

i have an oshawatt if u still need it?

I guess that makes it difficult! Buy Quick Balls! I managed to Quick Ball mine without a move!

I know they're rare; took me forever searching for a second Murkrow in Abundant Shrine, finally bred a baby for someone. LMAO

Lapras? Have one. In Unova.

In fact, it's findable in B/W as well. We're probably talking about the same 5% chance. If it's easier, I can clone it and send one for that game; I don't think I've touched mine yet.

Turns out I'm traveling a little during the day, so after 6 p.m. ET works for me, too (speaking of, it's after that now). Depending on what's going on, I might be a little later. I'll review the conversation and make sure I cover everything. :)

And yes, from what I can tell, both Pokémon are legit. If the Rayquaza is indeed fake, it's well-disguised; all it says in the info is Johto, you don't get to see where it was caught there. This, I believe, is standard; I'll know sooner or later when I import my Lugia. (And Ho-oh once I can go to the Bellchime Trail, but being at Lv.70, that's far off as I'm just trying to get to Lv.50 right now so I can sweep a good chunk of Kanto's Routes in one swoop the next time I play.)

No worries; I have trades waiting for pickup and the Trades box is starting to get a little confusing; I'll send a PM with final notice that I need them picked up today, and I can't guarantee they'll be there after that. That could make room. ;) LMAO

The two legendaries are already waiting in the box (turns out neither is an Event; Giratina is Lv.53 when traded, so it took part in some fights in Sinnoh, whereas Rayquaza was caught in JOHTO in the Embedded Tower on Route 47 after the events getting Kyogre and Groudon there - and thus it's legit.). I have to complete the breeding, which will occur this evening or tomorrow given your schedule (and thus I don't get it mixed up in the Trade box). After that they'll be lined up like ducks in a row.

One last question. If I can, do you want the Dream World ability of Cloud Nine on the Swablu, or their normal one? I have a female, so it might get the DW automatically NEway, but I can also get my Altaria and breed it instead to guarantee the non-DW ability.

The Druddigon I referred to is one I have that I'm going to use for breeding. I know you probably want to catch your own at Lv.31-33 later. ;)

I have a DreamWorld Dratini from someone, which is amazing. Druddigon is a pokemon I'd be able to catch myself.

For the Swablu, either Steel Wing or Dragon Rush would be okay for egg moves. I'm not really picky.

I have to leave for my grad event in about a half hour, so perhaps when I get home in about three hours I'd be set for trading.

Hmm...only three compatible mates can learn Night Slash, so I'll do my best with that one. I have Druggigon, but have to check that it's male and knows the move (I can always catch a fresh one if it turns out to be female, which I think it is).

Re Swablu: I can do that. I was worried Lv.40 would be a problem. Any Egg move requests? Also, did you want me to level them to a certain point before trading, as a starting point, or will you take them at Lv.1? I might attach an Exp. Share to make it easier to get them leveled up early (don't worry, I cloned a few and you can get two more later as well, you simply won't have to seek them out as they are optional collects).

You already got a Dratini? Too bad...I have one with Extremespeed in SoulSilver (for passing that test in the Dragon's Den) I might have been willing to give ya in a couple of days, or however long it takes me to get through the E4. I have just trained my first group into the 45+ range, going to get a second team later then try to pick and choose who to train specifically for each room. Graveler is already planned for the Lv.50 Champion (currently Lv.47), and not being able to trade it anywhere yet makes it hard to make it a Golem first. Oh well. I can deal. :) If you do want to take advantage of that one, I can let you know when I have it available in Black and cloned. :)

Did you want to clone some DW Porygon?

Doing a slight recharge of the 3DS, will look into the Axew on that system this evening.

Noticing you in this morning - any update? Still waiting for any Egg Move choices on the Axew and Dratini. :)
