There isn't a way to increase the chance of a certain gender, is there?

Well, there's cute charm for wild encounters. Lead Pokemon with this ability will increase the chance of encountering Pokemon of the opposite gender.

However, for Pokemon hatched in eggs, there is no method that I know of that will increase the chances of hatching a certain gender.

Absolutely there is, Cute Charm. Males with Cute Charm attract females at 66%, Females with cute charm attract males at 66% regardless of their normal gender spread. (Meaning, if you are trying to catch a female Charmeleon in Safari Zone you normally only have a 12.5% chance of finding one, but with Cute Charm that changes to 66%)

Here's a list of the abilites that have in field effects (besides Cute Charm, my favourite is Synhronize for obvious reasons! ;-) ) http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Abilities_with_field_effects

Is Route 8 before or after the 2nd gym? And what about Reflection Cave?

Route 8 is before the 2nd gym. Reflection Cave comes after the aforementioned gym. You could've checked the Town Map.

Is the Shinx I received from Wonder Trade hacked? It's lvl 1 and has all the elemental fangs (Fire, Ice, and Thunder) on its moveset.

They're egg moves: http://serebii.net/pokedex-xy/403.shtml If someone bred it for the fangs it might also have some good IVs so check that out too.

Can an Ability Capsule from the Battle Maison reverse a hidden ability? I know it can't give a Pokemon their hidden ability but can it be used to get rid one of their standard abilities?

And I tried breeding a male Charmander with a female Axew (that I caught on a timer ball) and all the eggs always come out as Axew. Do I keep trying to hatch eggs? Or will it always hatch as the same pokemon as its mother?

Is there no other way around this?

You can catch a female Charmeleon in the friend safari though :)

The pokemon from breeding will always be the unevolved form of the mother.

1. Would using two copies of the same game (e.g., 2X or 2Y) on the same 3DS cause any problems? In this case, both are cartridge versions, so I'm assuming all of the relevant data should be on the cartridges themselves, but I don't know if it would mess up settings, online stuff, etc.

Nope, I have two copies of Y and have used them one the one 3DS with no problems. The only thing it really affects is the friend safari.

For example, if I've been online at the same time as other people on my friend list in X and have unlocked all of their safari Pokémon, will I need to be online at the same time with them on Y to give my Y game access to their safari Pokémon as well? Will they lose access to my third safari Pokémon (unlocked for them by seeing me online in my completed X game) if they see me online on the same 3DS from an incomplete Y file?

You will have the same safaris on each game, but the third slot in a person's safari won't be available unless you have been online as that person in the copy of the game you wish to access it in. E.g, in one copy of Y I can access my friend's normal safari and its ditto (3rd slot), but in the other copy of Y I cannot as I haven't been online at the same time as him while playing that copy of Y. I am unsure of how switching games will affect the other people and their access to your safari.

Not that I am aware, as each game has a separate online interaction code. This is shown when you set the cartridges up for game sync. However you cannot use the one nintendo account for two copies of the same game. One X and one Y is fine though.

4. What are the consequences of switching between two 3DSs? When I accidently did it with X back in October, I seem to recall issues with berry growth, store stocks, etc., for a couple of days, but are there any longer-term/more significant side-effects that I'm forgetting?

As far as I am aware, the only impact this has is that all clock based events won't take effect until a full 24-hour cycle has been completed on the console you are using. No long-term effects as far as I know.

As far as I'm aware, Ability Capsule does not work on Pokémon that have their hidden abilities. If this doesn't answer your question, then... could you please rephrase it? It's a bit confusing. xD"

So does anyone have any advice on Zen Mode Darminitan? I have NO clue what nature or EV training to do with it, as when Zen Mode hits, it goes from having high AT, speed and lower def and sp def to High Sp Att, higher def and Sp def and low speed so how the heck should I train it? Is this one of the pokemon that SHOULD have a neutral nature? If not, then what nature would you suggest? Even Smogon quite literally says "We don't know what gamefreak was thinking, use Sheer Force Darminitan instead) Any suggestions would be fantastic because this is a total stumper for me. (and no, Sheer Force Darminitan is not an option, I want Zen Mode)

Zen Mode Darmanitan is not worth using at all. Ever. While you may be already aware of this, Zen Mode only activates at half-health, and at this point, even though Darmanitan's defenses are significantly increased in this form, they're wasted when it's on the verge of being KOed.

Sure, I'll help you out. My FC is 0619-4178-0907. Add me back so I can get into your friend safari.

Doesn't negate that I still want it and want opinions on how it should be EV trained and what nature it should have. :-) Just because something is hard to figure out doesn't mean it should be given up on.

Melonfrog December 28th, 2013 2:48 PM

I have one source telling me Masuda method is 1/1200 chances of a Shiny. Another said 1/1000 and another 1/800 something.

Which one is true?

I'm sticking to my point that Zen Mode Darmanitan is a gimmick. I'm sure someone else can point you in the right direction, but for now, I can't suggest anything for that reason alone.

depends on what you have breeding, the lowest is 1/800 with a different region pokemon

In generation four, the chances were somewhere around 1/1638 I believe. From gen five and onwards, they were changed to 1/1365. I'm not an expert at this though, so I may be wrong. :p

Melonfrog December 28th, 2013 3:55 PM

Two different answers.... Hmmm... Thanks anyway.

iTeruri December 28th, 2013 4:21 PM

It was 1/1365 in Gen V, but X and Y doubled the chance to get a shiny, so it's 2/1365, or about 1/683. That is, if the Masuda Method still increases the chance to get a shiny by the same amount. With a Shiny Charm, this would be 1/512.

Oh it's a gimmick? Well then I don't want it anymore. Thanks for clearing that up. ;-) The whole concept of pokemon is a gimmick, tens of millions of people worldwide are spending hundreds of hours to get bits of data on a video game system. If an entire gaming community dedicated to competitive battling can be utterly destroyed by a surskit with Double Team then there's definitely got to be SOME way to make Darmanitan useful. Just giving up never accomplishes anything.

You...really don't like the evasion clause, do you?

But that's not important. I'll try to help you with your Zen Mode Darmanitan. If I was gonna EV train one, I'd think training it in Defense and Sp.Defense would be best, to maximize its defensive capabilities. Or you pick which side you wanna tank, physical or special, then put the EVs into HP and the defensive stat you picked. One of those should hopefully get it down to Zen Mode HP range without endangering it too much. It might be able to make use of Roar and Toxic.

The hard part about using it is that it'll revert to regular mode if its HP goes over 50%, but Leftovers still might be useful since it'll be taking hits anyway.

You're probably gonna just have to test it out on Showdown or something a lot, learn by trial and error.

Shrew December 28th, 2013 6:24 PM

1. For the battle chateau, does defeating trainers make room for new trainers to appear more quickly? Or is it independent, and they disappear and reappear at their own schedule?

2. If you have egg moves on a pokemon, and the pokemon forgets these egg moves while in the daycare, will the child be born with these egg moves even though the parent forgot them? If so, is it possible for a child pokemon to be born with more than 4 egg moves and to heart scale them back?
