What sort of things are you up to, post-game?
 
Well, I just beat the Elite Four (rather easily I must admit :/) and I'm kind of at a loss of things to do. What I've been spending most of my time on is researching IV breeding and such, then I found out how tedious and time consuming it could be, and the guides always lack good grounding and proper instructions, so I've basically abandoned trying to IV breed the perfect Pokemon. My Gengar seems to have OK IVs based on the calculations I did on Psypoke and Serebii.

I'm just a little discouraged as to what to do next. I just hatch more Ghastly's until the calculator tells me it has good IVs? Seems like a wild goose chase with a lot of chance involved. I already wasted enough time training EVs only to find out that IVs were also a big piece of the puzzle. Anyway, it's all too much depth for me. It seems so time consuming... does it really make that much of a difference?

Anyway. After beating the Elite Four there doesn't seem to be too much to do. I'm about to make my way to the Battle Chateau for some training, and I've looked through the Battle Maison rewards and only a couple of the rewards seem worth going for. As of now the only reward I've claimed is the Life Orb since my Nidoking's Sheer Force hidden ability counters the recoil but keeps the 30% power buff (turns out he doesn't have his Hidden Ability. Cheers for those 48 BP), I'm just a little disappointed that Gengar can't learn Sludge Wave (anyone know why?) Apparently he can learn it if you catch a Ghastly from Dream World (wut). But yeah.

What are some of the things you guys do after having become to Pokemon Champion? ;O

Search for all the megastones, build a competitive team, scout the region for items & TMs, look for shinies, hunt the legendaries, use the friend safari, breed & battle my rival.

Ig Pokemon Lover October 23rd, 2013 7:02 PM

Nothing really just disappointed in the lack of new Pokemon and wish we had more legendaries also new areas to explore. My opinion the Kalos region is small.

gionell October 23rd, 2013 7:03 PM

Well there is mewtwo to catch, the legendary birds and the location of other mega stones, you can trigger the mega stones events when you fight the battle mansion and the rival in which sycamore will call you the looker missions are good to try, other than that is pretty much the postgame, you will have to wait until future events to see more postgame content. By the way i added you add me back FC: 3738-0585-5355

SpokeyDokey October 23rd, 2013 7:06 PM

I don't understand how you can have the patience to do that >_>

rivinus October 23rd, 2013 9:10 PM

Been trying to breed a perfect IV larvitar. It takes up all my time. -_-

Sabrewulf238 October 23rd, 2013 9:57 PM

Currently I'm breeding beldums. The gts is crazy for beldums, whatever non legendary pokemon you want is yours within minutes if you offer a beldum.

I only have zapdos left to catch now. After that it's filling up the pokedex and probably fighting more in the battle chateau.

Exitosus October 23rd, 2013 10:43 PM

ive hatched over 600 eggs and only have made 2 perfect IV pokes along with around 20-30 pokes that have 4 to 5 perfect IV stats.

Haha wow, you're JUST like me. Added tip: Throw in Pokerus, too. You'll get legendaries in no more than 10 minutes.

Layla-Mai October 24th, 2013 3:46 AM

I'm breeding shinies to make a better in game team, and then I'm going to aim to make a competitive team and hopefully get a bit better at battling!
I still need to get the megastones too, must remember to do that.

BeefTaco October 24th, 2013 3:48 AM

Gonna be doing some experimenting breeding new pokes with old pokes to see if they get some certain moves. Also I am almost done with getting an almost perfect IV (no need for Sp. Attack) Axew.

Colress Machine October 24th, 2013 4:42 AM

I'm not through yet, but I'm probably just going to train some Pokémon I wanted to use on my team, but didn't. I'd really like to fill up the Kalos Pokédex (With caught Pokémon). Once Pokémon bank opens, I'll start wonder trading a lot more to fill my Pokédex since I'm assuming way more Pokémon will be traded when everyone's Pokémon from previous games come in. I'd also like to get my actual team to lv. 100 which I haven't done since I got my first game. I also might do some shiny hunting if I'm willing to take the time, haha.

Rengoku October 24th, 2013 5:53 AM

I am trying to collect all the Vivillions now. It's hard, but I hope I'll get to it :)

Kikaito plush October 24th, 2013 6:11 AM

I am breeding Garden form Vivillons for the GTS as People like to collect all forms of Scatterbug line.

Iceshadow3317 October 24th, 2013 6:34 AM

Just finish catching every pokemon available in the wild in the game minus about 10. So starting to breed and hatch them. Really that is all I am doing. Already caught the 4 legends in game and found all the known Mega Stones in my game.

Jessie October 24th, 2013 6:49 AM

Right now I'm breeding Teddiursa and Pumpkaboo's for shinies. I have boxes and boxes of them, so I'm also having fun with Wonder Trade.

Also working on completing the Pokedex with caught Pokemon.

Yuuto October 24th, 2013 6:51 AM

I honestly have a lot I should be doing like working on a competitive team, filling the Pokedex (though I still do this a lot), getting the mega stones and legendaries, and so on... but I've just been spending the last few days hunting for shinies.

I have no regrets.

Meri October 24th, 2013 7:24 AM

Breeding for shiny Spheal :)
Gardening :P
Thinking about what balanced team I'd want...

lunemoon October 24th, 2013 7:44 AM

shiny hunting, battle maison, filling the pokedex, breeding for trades, breeding for pokemon for myself, trading via wonder trade for fun, checking out the gts for anything decent, training a proper team for online battles(though I've not really started on this....), trying to figure out what the more mysterious things could mean, shiny hunting....

trying to buy all the available clothes

Vanish October 24th, 2013 8:34 AM

A bit of everything. Catching anything I don't already have in the Friend Safari, searching for Megastones, making money at the restaurants, doing a touch of breeding, attempting to hatch/find a shiny Froakie/Frogadier. -_- I'm kind of in limbo at the moment. Not quite sure what I want to do. I've always wanted to get into competitive battling, but it seems like a massive commitment (the meta game has always been a bit intimidating). We'll see.

Naxus_Darkstar October 24th, 2013 8:37 AM

Right now I'm just filling up the dex. Turns out you don't get jack for filling up the central dex, we'll see what happens with all three.

0mnipotence October 24th, 2013 8:41 AM

I have literally bought every item from all the boutiques. Except Lumois city...I can't figure out how to get in there.

Sinstroke October 24th, 2013 8:44 AM

Finished Pokemon X, Bought Pokemon Y
