  • Yeah, brings to mind the "The More You Know" PSA. But yeah, i haven't done a lot of shiny breeding although I want to try it sometime. It's not hard at all to get international Pokemon with the GTS now. Anyways, I just recently opened up a Starter Pokemon Lab Trade Thread under the Wi-fi corner, so if there are any starter Pokemon that you need, I'm breeding a lot right now. Check it out sometime!
    The Masuda method is a really effective method that breeders use to get Shiny Pokemon. You see, every Pokemon you encounter has a 1 in 8000 or so chance of being a shiny Pokemon. This doesn't mean that you have to catch 8000 Pokemon to get a shiny; this means that every Pokemon you encounter has the same chances. However, the Masuda method takes those chances from about 8000 to close to 1 in 1000. To do you this, you have to breed a Pokemon from another country with one of your own. By breeding two different nationality Pokemon, the chances of their offspring become 1 in 1000. It takes much less time. Hope this helps!
    Yeah, no problem. I know it took a while for me to get used to the metagame, but once you understand, things make so much more sense. Now, you say you're a breeder?
    Sorry no elektrike atm, and I can breed the totodile but the only croconaw I have has those moves so I might as well go to the move deleter...
    Hahaha no no I get it, I used to be the same way, but I just talked with some friends and did some research and figured out what to do to make a nice competitive team, which is a lot different from an In-game team.
    Let's see, some terms here. There are three main classes of Pokemon, Underused (UU), Overused (OU), and Uber. It's based off of the general strength of Pokemon and their base stats (how many stats the Pokemon has to begin with). Stronger and legendary Pokemon go in Uber, and then the next strongest go in OU, and the others go in UU. Some people use a strategy to use UU Pokemon in their team because other trainers don't see them coming.
    Anyways, there are different roles that Pokemon take on in a team:
    Sweeper: A very, very strong Pokemon whose job it is to beat almost/all the Pokemon on an opposing team, or "sweep" the other team.
    Wall: A Pokemon with stronger defensive stats whose job it is to "wall" out the other team and provide lots of defense.
    Support: A Pokemon who sets up a strategy for another Pokemon, like setting up Light Screen and Reflect, or Stealth Rock and Spikes, or a status like Toxic, and switches out for a stronger Pokemon who can benefit from the opposite team's crippling.
    Wow, that was a lot longer than I expected! Sorry about that. :P Any other questions?
    Do you battle competitively at all? Or do you just do in game?

    Seeing as Salamence and Blaziken are both primarily physical sweepers, they probably would need a lot of wall support. Which is hard to manage if you have too many...I'm sure it could work, but it might be a bit more difficult than OU strategies.
    That's good! Glad to hear you're doing better! :D

    Yeah, I suppose I have multiple favorites. I wonder if I can work Blaziken into a team with Salamence....hmmmm, it would be a stretch!
