Yes, the other person needs to add you. That is how you become friends.

Does anyone know why I added a lot of friends and only two show up on the bottom screen? I tried to reset my game and 3ds but it isn't working?

Pokemon Amie Issues

Hey,

So I am having issues with Pokemon Amie. When I used it the first few times it worked perfectly fine, at least to my knowledge. Now when I try to access it, where the pokemon should be facing me it instead has its back turned towards me (if the pokemon is large, part of it is on the top screen) and the game completely freezes. I cannot do a single thing except shut the 3ds off.

Anyone had this happen to them or know what I could do?

Thanks.

Where can I find mega...

Where can I find the mega stones for Venasaur and Blastoise. I have been looking around and never found them and I have a Wartortle and I heard you can get the stones but I dont know where to get them.

 

[scprepschool]

Guy in the left corner of the stone store. But if you haven't done a lot in lumiose he's gonna charge 1,000,000 but if you do a lot of stuff he will drop the price I got my charizard y stone and blastoise stone for 100,000 a piece. I heard you can get it as low as 10,000 though

 

[4O4]

Where is the Mega Stone Store? Is there a way to get a Bulbasaur in game?

It's in Lumiose's Vernal Avenue, which is one if its middle boulevards.

I'm a bit confused as to how hidden abilities work.

I see that Cloyster can have:

1. Shell Armor OR Skill Link
2. Overcoat

I caught a Cloyster from the Friend Safari and it has "Overcoat" listed. But isn't that the "Hidden" ability?

My end goal is a Shellder with Skill Link and Overcoat. I've caught a Cloyster with Overcoat, can I just start breeding it now and waiting for the child to have both? Or do I need to keep finding a mother with both for the child to have both?

Thanks.

A Pokemon can only have 1 ability. The breeding mechanics changed in Gen VI, so either the mother or father can pass down their DW abilities, assuming the parents are similar species or the mother is a Ditto. Cloyster's preferred ability is and always will be Skill Link.

Oh, I was under the impression that it was a second, "hidden" ability. That makes more sense.

[Quinn]

[TrainerNico]

Uhm, is a Phanpy with Stealth Rock possible in this gen?

If a Pokémon's got its back turned on you, then it's most likely distracted. You need to do something to grab its attention. Try poking it on its back by tapping the screen. Do it as fast as you can. When you do, it should turn around immediately. (: If it doesn't, then your screen's sensitivity might be a bit low. Try tapping a little harder. If none of this work, then shout at it through the mic. Don't do it too loudly, though. If your game still freezes, then exit the Amie and try re-entering with a different Pokémon.

Here's my situation: Breeding two woopers
and looking for a 31/31/31/31/31/31 Bold Unaware Baby.

The mother: Mom
Bold nature
unaware ability
Holding everstone
31/X/31/31/31/31

The Father: Dad
Bold Nature
Unaware ability
Holding destiny knot
31/31/31/31/X/31

Basically what are the odds that the perfectionist in me gets the perfect offspring I'm after? The mother will actually suit my purposes perfectly, but there's something desirable and lucrative with a complete 31/31/31/31/31/31 spread.

I'm new to IV breeding but I think I'm managing pretty well up to this point.

Just saying, Bold is a terrible nature for Quagsire to have. It weakens the attacking stat that it intends to use most often (its Attack, since its main offensive move is Earthquake). A Relaxed nature is preferable, since Quagsire also usually runs Scald as a secondary STAB.

Anyways, you have a 1/6 chance of getting a flawless baby.

 

[Gogoat Rocks!]

Most People know about the bad egg glitch in the wonder trade.
I haven't gotten the bad egg but I have a question.
you start to wonder trade and you see your getting a egg and you quickly turn off the 3DS(or 2DS).
if you turn off your game while wonder trading. does it damage your game cartridge?
(like... erase your Save File?)

it may seem to have some complications when you suddenly turned your unit off... though i never gotten a bad egg on WT before.. im on it almost 5 hours a day just giving and taking mons... and well never had that glitch

Thanks, I wasn't sure if it would be 1/6 or if it would be like (1/6)*(1/31).

As for his nature, I'm using bold because I plan to forgo EQ for toxic. I'm using a weird gimmicky set to stall out swords dance users, my local friends use a couple of boosting sweepers so an unaware tanky quagsire will be invaluable, and since I'm not using his attack stat, bold seems to make sense.
