I've been wondering that as well, actually. Bashful, Docile, Hardy, Quirky, and Serious seem pointless to me. Some charts show them on one of the five spots that each adjust one stat in the opposite direction.

Cyclone

Thus being pointless. Its annoying when breeding. When I was breeding a frillish my first 8 of 10 of them were indifferent statuses.

I'm guessing that GameFreak added in the neutral natures because they still wanted Pokemon whose stats weren't affected by natures in any way.

Edit @above: Start training with the Volcarona you caught. The Larvesta you showed is a waste at this point because the Impish nature wastes away the potential Volcarona's good Special Attack.

Ok then should I even keep the larva for breeding?

i would say you breed a larva to desired nature. Yes itll take a long @$$ time but you should get max stat bonuses by doing so.

Final question on this topic what is better nature with sp attack mild or modest (didn't name other 2 cuz I'm not keen on losing speed or sp defense)

I personally say Modest is better since it lowers Attack which a special attacker like Volcarona won't need.

You should probably choose Modest because Volcaroa's Defence is low and you wont need any physical attacking move on Volcarona.

Thx for the help guys here is another
Tornadus or Xatu
On the one hand Tornadus stats are better and has less weaknesses.
On the other hand Xatu is Psychic so its more effective against more types and i dont have a psychic on my team, down side it gains 3 more weaknesses....
*edit Or Sigilyph whos stats are slightly better then Xatu

Actually this place is for in-game help, but for team things then you need to ask within in-game team questions :3

Mistralton City Gym

Hey

I can not get inside the Mistralton City Gym.
I've already been to the tower and ring the bell.
When I went back to the gym, there was nobody, but I can not enter.
The blue ports are closed.
What should I do?

That's weird. It shouldn't be like that. I suggest trying again. Maybe that'll work, I hope xD

Don't know what to say, maybe you should go somewhere else before the gym battle. Btw i would like to ask for help too. I beat the league twice, i got all the legendaries and i've almost completed the dex. What should i do? How can i get tornadus and victini? Obviously they're not in the dex so i can't ask for them in gts

If you have Thundurus then you can't get Tornadus unfortunately (nor Landorus). BUT if you haven't got any of the genies, after the 8th gym battle when you've walked onto route 10 head to route 7 and then they'll be ready for capture. Victini's only obtainable by event, but if the GTS doesn't work for any of those, you can ask in the Quick Trade Thread. n____n

If you bike/walk/run near the daycare, the man standing out in front should call out to you (when you pass in front of him) when your pokemon have made an egg. Or you can just talk to him.
Precisely. If I want to breed a Pokémon, I get out the Bike and pedal back and forth a few times. It works splendidly; bred three starters in four trips today.

Note that he won't call out to you if your party is full even if he's found an egg, so you should have a free spot in your party and just bike back and forth in front of him like others suggested, otherwise you'll have to go talk to him.
