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

[TwilightBlade]

I was wondering is there a way to get mew or jirachi in pokemon x? Can i catch them? Please help a fellow trainer out.

Nope, you can't catch them. Your only options are to trade for them or wait and see if Nintendo releases the event legendary Pokemon in the future.

So i have read that if i EV train a level 100 pokemon that has 0 EVs it will still get stat boosts.Is it true for this gen?

Scarf raises speed by 50%. A lv50 Mega Houndoom can go up to 183, and lv50 Togekiss goes up to lv45, so a scarf Togekiss would outspeed.

Ahh okay, that makes sense, thank you very much! I was so confused lol.

I find I've been getting a lot of pokemon in dream balls all of a sudden but I don't know if they're real or not, what location should real dreamworld pokemon have?

I'm not really sure, but I think it's supposed to be Entree Forest. Anyway, if these Pokémon were bred, then chances of them being fake is sort of low. If their mothers were held inside Dream Balls, the children would inherit it and be in the same type of Poké Ball.

I don't think a specific location would be listed. For example, the Gyarados I transferred up via PokeBank says this in its descrption: "Seems to have traveled across both space and time in order to reach the Kalos region from the Johto region". It doesn't say eaxctly where I caught it in Johto.

So, if those Dream Ball pokes weren't bred in Kalos, the description should say they came from the Unova region. If they were bred in Kalos, there isn't really a way to tell, but I don't think the chances of them being hacked are that high.

Digital Player ID?

I'm trying to get my Digital Player ID for the Beta Competition and my 3DS takes forever! I've been sitting here for half an hour, and it still doesn't work. I have a fast internet connection, and I've never had issues with anything else regarding Pokemon and Wi Fi, so any ideas?

should only take a little while, all i can suggest is try again later..

Also make sure you already have an account established at www.Pokemon-GL.com, if you don't that could be a reason why.

If you haven't yet, in your Pokemon X/Y game, go to the PSS, the yellow bottom screen that shows your friends//passerbys etc, open it's menu and choose Game Sync and set up your Pokemon-gl account.

If you have already, I'd say just try again later, there's absolutely no reason why it should take "30 minutes", yet alone 1 minute :|

I have set up my global link account and thankfully am eligible since I battled in competitions for black 2 and white 2, so I'm all set there. I'll just try the game sync thing again just in case thank you!

Do you need Nintedo ID in order to play X / Y?

AH okay yeah, THAT'S what's happening, I forgot about that. Thanks!

To access all the online features I think you might, but most of the game's functions can be done without one :)

You only need one to use the Pokemon Bank or Poke Transporter. Everything else you can do without one.

does anyone know if theres a difference between breeding with males vs females other than the pokeball thing?

If you're talking about breeding with Ditto, the only other difference (I think) is that females are more likely to pass down their Ability when breeding with Ditto. If you're talking about breeding a male-female pair, then females take priority in passing down Egg Moves and the hatched Pokemon will always be a species from the female's line.

Females take priority over everything.

Male and Female breeding:

Female dictates species
Female dictates Ability (if regular ability, 80% chance of it being the one the female has. If HA ability 60% chance to pass it on.)
The Pokeball inheritance.
Female has priority over Egg Moves.

Male/Ditto breeding:

Not much to compare as there is no female involved.

Female/Ditto breeding:

Not much to compare as there is no male involved.


Nature is determined at random unless you use Ever Stone. IVs are random unless you use the Destiny Knot or Power Items to force one over to the child.

how exactly do you check your pokemons ha ability btw? most of the technical and mathematical side of pokemon is completely foreign to me because ive always been the kind of player to catch and level pokemon that looked cool to me instead of building an army of perfect super soldiers lol

I need help with my competitive Porygon 2, it has:
Ice beam

Replace Psychic with Thunderbolt. You'll have better coverage with Boltbeam.
