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.

oooh! I never thought of that, that showdown site would be a GREAT way to test out some stuff! Thanks very much for the help and EV suggestions

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?

1. It's not so much defeating trainers (although you should defeat them as you come across them) but it seems to be either time or going in and out of rooms, because I had about 3 trainers and no others so I started running around in and out of rooms and all the way around and EVENTUALLY trainers started slowly showing up here and there. It seems to take a while though.

2. I can only repeat what I heard so I'm not completely sure, however, many pokemon, including the final evolved forms, have several moves they don't learn but can be relearned using the heart scale even if they never knew those moves to begin with. Egg moves can also be relearned this same way, but only if that pokemon had know the move at some point (was at least born with it) not any of it's other egg moves unless it learned those too the same way. If the pokemon doesn't actively have that move, then it will not get passed onto the baby. You will need to take it to the move relearner to get the move back, then breed it while it knows the egg move. Because of that, the baby can only learn the egg moves known by the parent at the time of breeding, not if they once knew the move but no longer know it.

As for the child and more than 4 egg moves, that brings up an interesting question. Even though the egg moves used to only come from the father so this was never an issue as you could only get a max of 4 egg moves, with the current gen there is also now a small chance the mother can pass down egg moves too, just not as high a chance as the father. So in that situation, I don't know what would take priority. I know that's not the situation you were presenting, but it is something to find out.

Trading help?
 
I got Pokemon Y today and me and my friend swapped friend codes, and have each other registered in each other's ds's. We're connected to WiFi but we aren't appearing on the friends thing on the touch screen in game??? Anybody know what might be wrong?

InfernusX December 28th, 2013 8:04 PM

I just found a "Shadow Tag" 'Wobbuffet?" in some cave, and is it rare?
 
It was a dream world ability last generation, so?

so it's level 22 and is female, for some more info

is anyone interested in it? Sorry, I don't know if it's rare

-_-

oops, it's the normal ability

not dreamworld

not special

etc.

but still, it's female, so anyone want? I really want that clauncher X exclusive pokemon.

Flushed December 28th, 2013 8:05 PM

Check your friend's list to make sure they're not provisional or anything, they may appear on the Passerby list too, I'm not entirely sure.

Howmander December 28th, 2013 8:06 PM

Nope, Shadow Tag is it's regular ability, Telepathy is it's Hidden Ability

oshizlgzngahr December 28th, 2013 8:10 PM

I'll text him that. Me and him are both new to this friend code stuff.

Howmander December 28th, 2013 8:10 PM

Even though your 3DS' are connected to wifi, is the game? In the Friends screen there is a blue wave button in the top right of the screen, if you see the waves, you are not connected. Tap it and choose to connect. Once you see "Internet" over the button, then you are connected to the internet.

Yes, my game was, and he said his was.

When a Pokemon gains exp. after you capture a wild Pokemon, does it gain EV as well?

In anything Pokemon Battle related, if the Pokemon receives EXP it gains EVs from the Pokemon it battled. So, if you catch a Pokemon, you get EVs. If you KO a Pokemon and have EXP Share on, they all get the EVs. If you catch a Pokemon with EXP Share on, they all get EVs. If you switch out and KO the Pokemon, all Pokemon that were in battle receive EVs.

When evolving Eevee into Sylveon, it says you need to max out affection, does that mean all 5 hearts? the first time i did it it only took 2 and i haven't seen anything other than maxing it out.

Eevee only needs 2 Amie hearts, a Fairy move (Baby Doll Eyes or Charm in this case), and a level up to evolve into Sylveon.

thanks, just wanted to double check in case they changed something with the updates

So apparently the nickname filter prevents unnicknamed Bulbasaurs from being traded on the GTS? o_O

Does this apply to Wondertrade too? I wanna breed some Bulbasaurs at some point and WT them around, will I have to Nickname them all?

I've traded bulbasaurs both via wonder trade and posting on the gts both giving and receiving, is it a bred bulbasaur or one you got from a previos game via poke bank? the pokebank version might not, but i dunno

I'm thinking of breeding Chimchar with a Focus Punch. Will Infernape benefits from Focus Punch in competitive level?

Focus Punch is definitely not a good move for Infernape. Go with Close Combat instead, or maybe even Mach Punch. If you want a complete moveset, then here it is:

Infernape (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Blaze
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Mach Punch / Close Combat
- Blaze Kick
- Acrobatics

Here's another one:

Infernape (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Iron Fist
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- U-turn
- Mach Punch
- Flare Blitz
- Hidden Power [Water]

It's based on real time. In my experience it takes about an hour for all the trainers to be replaced, maybe less.

Infernape is too frail to set up Swords Dance (and Nasty Plot) this generation. Acrobatics is terrible without Flying Gem, and Infernape is easily picked off by priority. It also needs Thunder Punch to muscle past Water Pokemon:
-Flare Blitz
-Close Combat
-U-turn/Mach Punch
-Thunder Punch
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Band
Ability: Iron Fist

or
-Overheat/Fire Blast
-Close Combat
-Thunder Punch
-U-turn/Mach Punch/Hidden Power (Ice)
Nature: Hasty/Naive
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Expert Belt
Ability: Iron Fist

or
-Flare Blitz/Fire Blast
-Close Combat
-U-turn
-Stone Edge/Hidden Power (Ice)
Nature: Hasty/Naive
EVs: 36 Atk/220 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Scarf

or
-Fake Out
-Stealth Rock
-Overheat
-Close Combat
Nature: Hasty/Naive
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Focus Sash
Ability: Blaze

Cofagrigas is the only Pokemon that is still limited to being nicknamed to be GTS or Wonder Trade traded. I've traded and received unnicknamed Bulbasaurs from both and you can search GTS for bulbasaur and see them without nicknames.

Where did you get your Bulbasaur, does it have anything on it like move wise or item? What language is your game and system though I don't think Bulbasaur's names are filtered at all.

How do I spread pokerus to my other pokemon? Will putting the infected pokemon in the PC keep it from losing its pokerus status indefinitely?

Leaving a Pokerus-infected Pokemon in the PC will retain the virus. The only way to spread it among the team is to put the Pokemon in the team and walk/run/bike around for a bit.

This is only a thing I've heard on Wikis. So I can trade away unnicked Bulbasaurs? x3 Good to know!

1: You need to have the infected Pokemon in your party, and any of the Pokemon you wish to infect in as well. Then you have to battle. After every battle (maybe it's every 3 battles, it's been a while) there is a chance that the pokemon in the slot next to an infected Pokemon will get infected as well.
2: Yes

Sorry about that. To get a Gengar with Disable, you have to breed it with a Muk, one of the Duskull line, Yasmask, or Cofagrigus that knows Disable.
