I guess it was inevitable, but oh well.

Ghost Lunis February 22nd, 2014 6:36 PM

Of course it was. Hopefully this time around though game freak can stay on top of it and prevent some. I doubt it though.

Speaking of not being able to trade over wifi, how come the legendary dogs that unlocked zorua in b/w can't be traded?

Got a few more to brag about later.... trouble with HP breeding Eevee is the darn so few females thing. I need a few more females to pop out of eggs soon before I cry.

Because they have a ribbon. Any event Pokemon with an event ribbon can not be traded. This includes things like Pikachu with special moves, or the Scizor event. It is not just locked yo legendary events.

BakingBluePotatoe February 22nd, 2014 6:56 PM

I forgot you can check the status of your GTS trade on the Global Link!

Looks like I've got a nice HA female Zangoose waiting for me when I log on again! 8D

Absol February 22nd, 2014 7:01 PM

Speaking of the GTS, I can still trade off 5 IV Eevees for Xerneas and Yveltal. Trying to collect one of every language cause I can. Plus it's worth more than my Eevees. :P

tabor62 February 22nd, 2014 9:42 PM

So I couldn't get a Safari Gible on my own, but [supporter]Christopher[/supporter] helped me get one :D Kudos to you sir.

In other news I'm still looking for other pretty Ball/female combinations.

Your search is pointless. I've already told everybody, Premier Ball is the best. I can breed you most things in a Premier Ball, there is no prettier!!

Primier Ball Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile please.

And I don't care if it's a strange combination, I'm more interested in it's rarity often times (like my Safari Ball Scyther)

I understand why you're doing it, I just wanted all HA, I had this debate with myself months ago, I decided I wanted all matching with HA. By no means do I think your collection will be bad.

destinedjagold February 23rd, 2014 3:54 AM

Internet was down this weekend yet again, so I decided to just breeding Phantump to replace my not-so-great shiny Trevenant.
These are what I got. :3



It wasn't really the perfect one I was looking for, but eh, I'm just happy to hatch another 6IV mon. :3

And then...



I am actually happy that I managed to get this perfect Phantump for my needs. <3

Griffinbane February 23rd, 2014 7:43 AM

Why would you need a 3DS for HG? It's not THAT much of a hassle to switch carts...

I am guessing no DSLite then? Keeping a DSLite(or original DS for that matter) is VERY handy. VERY... As in super-duper-I-could-barely-live-without-VERY. For one thing I do all my RNGs on my Lite, and I feel doing that on my 3DS would be a learning curve I do not want.

For Example:
Yesterday while I was working on my breeding projects on my 3DS, I was using my DSLite to dig through FR/LG/R/S (although I can't find my Emerald... *cry*). As well as at one point was using the time trick to mess with my Safari's (wasn't trying to shoot for the 100 days Tabor was talking about, just playing with it)... I moved forward about 20 days and still could not get Pokemon that only require 10 days. I think the time trick only works for other time events such as the Apricorns re-spawning, but NOT for the Safari (JUST a theory... Just saying... my experience).

And just saying.... I think shooting for HP is way cooler. You would probably have all them a long time ago by now if you were checking eggs as you hatch them. I can trade you a 6IV 30 Ditto if you want.... but unless you have a Foreign Female Eevee I know that won't help you with MMing.

Soon is a very relative term though. Progress in Colloseum feels slow as I can only get the TV after my son and wife go to bed. So I get maybe an hour a day depending on how tired I am. I am only at the first battle you have with Mirror B(for those that know the game). I would say about 25% of the way to the end of the story mode.

Acctually Premier Ball is my second favorite ball. My favorite is Dream Balls because of their scarcity. Premier are second. Pretty much All the Apricorn balls from HG/SS are tied for third, once again like Dream Balls it is all rarity. Safari Balls fall a nice fourth.

Aeroblast February 23rd, 2014 9:56 AM

I wish I could run a shinifying service here, but oh well.

RingoH February 23rd, 2014 10:14 AM

Mostly to taunt EV with.... Here are my latest Eevee's with HP:

https://www.pokecheck.org/i/anim/133.gif
https://www.pokecheck.org/i/itm/576.png Eevee https://www.pokecheck.org/i/itm/576.png
Lvl 1. -- Anticipation -- Male
HP Fighting
30/X/30/30/30/30

https://www.pokecheck.org/i/anim/133.gif
Eevee
Lvl 1. -- Anticipation -- Male
HP Steel
30/30/X/30/31/30

I know I already have one with Fighting I showed off, but this one has all 5 at 30IV. I have Rock and Flying too.... but the only Female I have in a Dream Ball has two terrible stats that keep getting passed on. Statistically I should have been able to breed to more Females by now, but all her eggs are always Male. *Sigh*.

Absol February 23rd, 2014 11:33 AM

Oooo pretty Eevees. I love. <333

Let's explain this whole long story of me and my DSes shall we?

Beginning of this year I had: One 3DS, one Lite, and 3 Phats.
Last month my lite broke in half. Literally. It was a refurbished one that I bought just to RNG on and I laid it down to do something, came back, picked it up, and.... yeah... I can sorta use it but then I risk damaging it more because the more I use the more it falls apart. D: The right hinge came completely off but it still works fine I just won't touch it because I might completely break it. :(
Then my phat... I can't find it anywhere. It literally just disappeared. I suspect my sister ran off with it and won't give it back. :/ The other two phats... one has no battery and the hinges are broke off it. It still works I think but it's so horrible to even just look at it I can't do it. The phat I'm using now has a battery life of about 5 minutes fully charged and is missing the top screen. So yeah. I need a new DS please so I can play two games at once.

I love my 3DS the most though because of how big it is. My eyesight is rather bad on small things so the large screens are awesome. Plus I have big hands so holding those small DSes are a pain.

On a happy note though, I ordered my own Powersave and it should be here in a few days!! :D :D

Azire February 23rd, 2014 12:17 PM

Haha you noobs!! I just figured out how to fully Poké-Amie Pokémon without spending any time. GOML!!

My daughter is having the time of her life. :D

She also can't mess anything up although she kept trying to do my trade with lunis.... >.>

No battles or trading for her, we'll get her into that later. Maybe I'll breed her a pretty team, possibly in Dream Balls? Ideas?

A Shiny Cottonee you say? Reason behind this choice? I can try to find one in Dream Ball. Keep it as Cottonee? I guess most kids on the games don't have evolved Pokémon anyway.

I'm younger than all of you! I'll just pretend you're all my children and have you do stuff for me.

Ghost Lunis February 23rd, 2014 12:43 PM

Azire February 23rd, 2014 12:49 PM

Okay Trade Corner, we have Cottonee, I need up to 5 more to hunt for. I would prefer something I can get in a Dream Ball. I was just thinking I could teach her how to Battle in Maison because all those people are really easy and you can rebattle them. No purpose throwing her into the E4 to start lol.

BakingBluePotatoe February 23rd, 2014 1:04 PM

Hm.... pretty and cute shinies... well, girls like Pink, maybe.... Dratini? but then Shiny Dragonite is an ugly shade of green @[email protected]
AIPOM! it's cute to begin with and it's pink.. and it doesn't turn an ugly color on evolution... same for Sneasle... and Skorupi (it's red)
Also, Shiny Mereep. When it evolves to Ampharos and goes Mega, it's FABULOUS!
Shiny Charmander? SHINY CHARIZARD IS TOTALLY BA.
And Shiny Oddish... because Shiny Bellosom is pretty!

They have something like 100 different vocal inflections. You would sooo not believe how accurate that song really is.

Azire February 23rd, 2014 2:00 PM

Shiny Mareep is absolutely genius!! Slow as all hell upon Mega Evolution but whatever. Great ideas. I think I have a full team to collect. Cottonee, Mareep, Vulpix are all winners. Can I get a Female Eevee in a Dream Ball? I will look into the other teammates suggested by Potatoe. The Eeveelution she goes with should be interesting. I'll have to show them all to her and evolve it myself probably.

If I wasn't busy on White, I'd breed that.... unless you wanna borrow mine for a while. unless someone else has one!

hm... my favorite Shiny Eeveelutions are Vaporeon (pink), Umbreon (blue marks), Sylveon (blue instead of pink), and Flareon (it's GOLDEN!)

Yeah, you have to get it from a DWF Eevee that was obtained in a Gen V game. I transferred over my DWF Eevee from White 2 today, and have two in the Daycare right now, unfortunately they both have 31 Attack and only one has 31 Sp Atk. x( I could trade my 31/x/31/x/x/31 Female Dream Ball Anticipation Eevee to Kirk if he wants it, since I don't need it that badly anymore (although i'd prefer to at least wait until I get an ideal Anticipation Eevee that I can use).

Azire February 23rd, 2014 2:49 PM

Hey to everybody, yes any help would be appreciated. IV are entirely unimportant as I can breed myself. Ability would be nice as Hidden.

EV has already given me a Female HA Vulpix in Dream Ball so that's nice. I think a round of applause is in order for her.

That leaves, Mareep, Eevee, Cottonee. Still looking into whatever else.

Totally was available. Here is the little lady that I am breeding all my HP Eevee's with:

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/icon/133.pnghttp://www.pokecheck.org/i/notshiny.png #133 Eevee ♀ (level 10) http://www.pokecheck.org/i/itm/576.png
OT: http://www.pokecheck.org/i/lang/2.png RUSH ♀ (Black, 2112/24292)
Docile - Anticipation - 31/10/31/10/31/30 - Untrained
Tackle - Helping Hand - Sand-Attack - Charm

So far she has not bred me a single female.... and those two 10's keep cropping up in many of her babys. I have been breeding for her with my all 30 Ditto. Look over the last few pages of this thread to see her most impressive offspring.

Lucky you. Last shiny I got was a Gible back in November, and that wound up being the harbinger of doom as I lost my entire bag of games mere hours later. Lesson of the story? Shiny Gible sucks!

RingoH February 23rd, 2014 4:24 PM

I am not a fan of transporter and bank. Just saying.

With how long we had to wait for these two products couldn't Nintendo have made them more user friendly to navigate? I am tcould have sworn my Box 1 in Black 2 was empty already.... but now it's full and I need to move EVERYTHING just to transfer three little Pokemon. :-(

Ghost Lunis February 23rd, 2014 4:29 PM

Woot another big trade! This involved me getting 15 shinies and one was a monsoon vivillon. That thing is so pretty.

I think after I finish my shiny collection, I'm shooting for a shiny vivillon and then shiny unown collection.

Plumpyfoof February 23rd, 2014 9:32 PM

Nothing makes me angrier than breeding for ages for a flawless Iron Fist Chimchar, finally getting one with the right IV's, EV training it only to realise it has Blaze.
So I start again this time I have my flawless Iron Fist Chimchar I made sure of it, so EV trained that. Oh what's that the nature is wrong? I want to jump in an active volcano.

Okay first things first, Vivillon is my favorite Gen 6 Pokémon and up there on my list of all time favorites, probably #3. Sandstorm is the best Vivillon.

Second, I am not sure Unown is available Shiny in all forms.

of course, you can only CATCH them, so MMing won't work, and you cant SR like you could for say... a legendary. Sure sounds like a PAAAAAAAAAIN

Azire February 23rd, 2014 10:51 PM

I've heard that only some are available Shiny, that may be wrong, I don't know. Of course you should always catch them in Premier. :)

I've heard this too, something about IVs determining both Shininess and Form and thus only certain forms can be shiny.

In gen 4 I believe they also determined shininess. I know catching a shiny and calculating it's IVs was the only way to figure out your Secret ID in those games.

EDIT: According to bulbapedia it was generation 2 where IV determined both shininess and form. No mention of some of them not being able to be shiny in any other gen. So it looks possible...good luck. 2 Years of SS and I only have the one.

Ghost Lunis February 24th, 2014 2:03 AM

Good to know it seems possible, thanks guys:)

I know it will be hard, but a complete shiny collection of everyone Seemed daunting at first too. I already have two different shiny unown so that's a start. I used to have about 7 different ones at one point.
I also would have had 2 different vivillon but I was eager to help a certain someone with their collection at the beginning of it:)

Yes, Generation II this was true.

In Generation III and D/P/Plat the room/cave you were in determined the form they took. Each room had four to five of them in there. You could easily shiny hunt or RNG to get them all SHiny.

Hg/SS the mechanic for their form was based on having solved puzzles in the ruins. As you solve puzzles more forms are unlocked. Once again, you can shiny hunt or RNG to your hearts content.

Absol February 24th, 2014 10:16 AM

I might be able to RNG shiny Unown with HP Grass 31/11/30/30/31/31 iirc that's what I ID abused for. Have to check when I get home hmmm

Azire February 24th, 2014 10:37 AM

I do believe HP Psychic is best if possible. It gets STAB on that. Obviously nobody is battling with it anyway as it's weak and only learns HP. Also the power rate in previous games is pointless as HP now has a standard power rate of 60 in XY.

EDIT: For anybody trying to RNG Shiny Unown, for the love of Kirk catch them in a Premier Ball!! I will love you forever.

Also I do believe any Shiny Unown are going to be like RingoH's Gen 2 starters in Premier Balls, everybody will want one!! If you can clone that is.

Ghost Lunis February 24th, 2014 11:02 AM

All this shiny unown talk makes me want to actively start the search now. Even though I'm more interested in the vivillon. XD

Suck up to Lugia for Shiny Vivillon. He has the full collection. Myself personally, I'm being an idiot and plan on breeding every Shiny Vivillon form I can on X. Once I get one form I'll change my region, restart and get back to the Daycare. I only need to hatch a 6IV Female before I truly start the process. I already have Females in Premier fully Egg Moved with Compound Eyes. I just need that sweet 6IV.

Also insane considering I haven't hatched a single Shiny Vivillon yet. But it's happening. I will have to trade for the few odd forms my NA 3DS won't be able to region change for. I know Monsoon is one of them.

Got a fun little challenge for you. 0/0/0/0/0/0 Unown with neutral nature just for giggles. (If that's even possible)

Absol February 24th, 2014 12:05 PM

I believe this should work for Unown. I don't know encounter slots and all that I just ran a search to see if 0/0/0/0/0/0 is possible. Got this:

tabor62 February 24th, 2014 12:32 PM

I'd be more interested if it weren't for the fact that Unown can't breed. Must have good females in matching or rare Balls.

RingoH February 24th, 2014 2:11 PM

My Daily dose of making EV jealous......

I finally managed to get not only one but TWO females out of my HP Breeding (although one does not have the hidden ability so will not be the Mum to any of my breeding):


Last but not least.... my first of these to have all 6Iv's be 30 or 31:

30/30/31/30/30/30 -- HP Fighting

My list of Eevee's with Hidden Powers with at least 5IV's of 30-31 is:
Fighting, Flying, Ghost, Steel, Fire, Water, Dark

EDIT: To Add:

All this discussion has me wwwaaaayyyy tooooo tempted to RNG a full collection of Unown.

Too many Pokemon on my wish list.... *sigh*

Griffinbane February 24th, 2014 8:26 PM

Didn't take me as long as I feared to get a female HA Fennekin with 3 egg moves. It popped out flawless woooooooo! (I only got one though so no additions to my shop. Darn.) So then I went to start on my next breeding project... HA Vivillion. Of course the first step was to catch the right one. Second thing I encountered on my hunt... shiny Ledyba.

So, yeah. Shinies seem to pop up more often without shiny charm. :p
BWAHAHAHAHAHA /flee

Absol February 24th, 2014 9:26 PM

Griffy I hate you... although in a few days I'll have more shinies than all of trade corner combined. ;) Hopefully, unless I end up like mac.

Griffinbane February 24th, 2014 9:33 PM

You still have like zilch random kalos shiny encounters. :p
Oh wait, one. DAT LILLIPUP

Absol February 24th, 2014 9:34 PM

Two!!!!!!!!! I also found a shiny 3 IV Cloyster in the next couple days. >:[

Omicron February 24th, 2014 9:39 PM

Even with XY, my random shiny encounters are nonexistant. Zero, nothing, nada. Not a single wild or bred shiny ever. :(

I think that was what brought me into RNG, though. :P

destinedjagold February 24th, 2014 9:44 PM

Legitimately, and aside from the shiny Gyarados in the Lake of Rage, and aside from X and Y, then only time I ever encountered and caught a shiny was on my friend's LeafGreen game. As soon as I got some Pokéballs, I encountered a shiny Pidgey on Route 1 (or was it Route 2?)...
It was a long time ago though, and I was kinda bummed that my friend restarted it because he didn't like the name I gave to the player. :P

Aw well~

Anyway, I went back to MM-ing a shiny Eevee while letting both parent Eevees reach lv90+ :P

Azire February 24th, 2014 10:54 PM

I've only encounted three wild Shiny. Gligar, Camurupt and Trapinch. I've bred more but I always trade them away. I want Flawless Shiny with my OT preferably in a Premier Ball with Egg Moves. Anything less than that is trade fodder. I'm currently collecting all Unavailable Legendary, EV and lunis have been the biggest help with this so far.

What are you still missing? I still have legendaries that I need to transfer over.


This is the first game i have ever encountered any shinies as well. At least the game has more than made up for it though. Now if only I could get this shiny spritzee to hatch.

RingoH February 25th, 2014 4:23 AM

The worry over shiny charm.... Has anyone studied how many hours they played BEFORE shiny charm in relation to how many shinies they had? Then compared the same play time AFTER?

On Y I put in 300 hours (ok, 299 hours) before I got my shiny charm, and truthfully not one shiny. I also was not hunting them. I am only at 310 hours of total game time on it now.... although admittedly still no shinies.

On X I am at just shy of 100 hours, and have 2 shinies. HOWEVER:
I have been attempting to complete my Kalos Dex ONLY through in game means(other than Y Exclusives I traded over, and ones that evlove via trade, etc). I am catching ONLY a female of each species, and ONLY catching in Premier Balls. I have had two random shiny encounters.... But I attribute that in part to my hunt for rare species. I spent four hours sitting in one spot sweet scenting for a Lapras.... which kept showing up Male, and the few females would faint themselves. WHen you sit in one spot sweet scenting, running from every encounter that is not what you want, then repeating.... You face many more encounters thus have many more times that you could encounter a shiny. It's just pure odds.

(But I am still not getting SHiny Charm on my X.... although part of that is I am too lazy to do it a second time. Trading everything over would not be enough)

Swizzy9k February 25th, 2014 5:19 AM

Need some advice (Trading)
 
Would it be wise to trade my lvl 31 Genesect for a lvl 100 Shiny Scizor with 6iv

Plumpyfoof February 25th, 2014 6:01 AM

Someone give me a number. I want to know how many Helix babies to put in the Wonder Trade.

BakingBluePotatoe February 25th, 2014 6:29 AM

Shinies, huh? I believe I'm about more than 200 hours in and found no shiny... then again, I'm just past the 2nd gym still o.o so I don't really even know what I was doing. o.o

@azire I can clone, RNG, and extract .pkm files on Gen 4 so we're all good. ;)

I do not believe I have ever seen encounter slots for Unown.

However, I would do it in Platinum. In HG/SS if you've already solved the puzzles(Which unless you are restarting I have to assume you have) then each variety is available all at once. The form is not determined by the usual encounter slot but by PID. (Note: http://www.smogon.com/ingame/rng/pid_iv_creation#unown_shape )

In Platinum there are seperate rooms for the letters that spell out "Friend", in which those rooms will only have those letters. Once you have the whole alphabet there is a room in which you can enter to recieve ? and ! both as a 50% chance.

However, even in Platinum those other 20 forms are going to be rough.

Griffinbane February 25th, 2014 7:13 AM

I'm getting close to 400 hours in my game. So far, 6 random encounter shinies (1 outside safari), 2 bred (1 was masuda'd). So 8 total shinies without a shiny charm.

That's rather impressive. I had played my White version for nearly 2 years before I reached 500 hours. I don't use that cart for anything now though, so that time will never go up. Sadly I have not had as much luck on the shiny front in X and Y. I only found 2 and lost both of them. The Tangela was cool though, I have to admit.

tabor62 February 25th, 2014 8:32 AM

Somehow I feel like everyone is ahead of me since I only have like 300 hours on my Y D:

Omicron February 25th, 2014 10:07 AM

I only have 120 hours! D:

You guys are way ahead of me.

Even with all the RNG'ing I've done, my White still sits at 105 hours.

Cloning one shiny a few thousand times doesn't mean you have more shinies ;) And as far as i'm concerned, non-Kalos bred shinies are irrelevant.

To contribute to the game time discussion, i'm at 450 hours on my X and about 100 hours on my Y. :D

Griffinbane February 25th, 2014 12:17 PM

My Platinum had maxed out hours before I reset it. Breeding wastes a lot of time, yup.

Necrum February 25th, 2014 1:09 PM

I have yet to max out my time on any Pokemon Game. I doubt I could ever play a Sinnoh game for that long.

Absol February 25th, 2014 1:53 PM

@Dyl SVs are back ;) SHINIES EVERYWHERE

I have almost 800 hours on my X, with around 80 hours to beat the game and the rest has been breeding continuously nonstop, but I've quit due to school. Over 400 hours on my White 1, over 200 on White 2, around 70 now on HeartGold, over 300 in Diamond, around 100 on Black... I think I'm addicted to Pokemon guys.

Ghost Lunis February 25th, 2014 2:01 PM

I am at 477 hours in y, maxed out on white, around 700 on pearl, and I think around 300 on heartgold. Can't remember white 2 at all but it's probably only around 150-200 hours.

Also, can anyone with a Powersaves figure out someone else's SV, or do you have to have your own. I know with instacheck, anyone could figure out anyones,,or so I was told. I never got my SV before it went down and I want to know now. Especially since I can clone, albeit terribly, but it's cloning nonetheless.

Azire February 25th, 2014 3:30 PM

I was at about 400 when I restarted Y and I'm at 48 now. Surprisingly I'm pretty sure I could have beat the game already had I not bred so much to trade.

I'm curious with lunis about the Shiny Values. I would love to learn mine and once I can get Powersave I can check all my Eggs for other people. Again my intentions are to let anybody with a matching Shiny Value to one of my Eggs keep it if they want it.

Pendraflare February 25th, 2014 4:02 PM

The most i've had logged on any Pokémon game is like 450 hours on my Pearl. I think second highest is 269 on my White 2, then 255 on Platinum and 227 or so on X. I had 168 on White before I deleted the saved data there.

Anyway, haven't tried for anything too significant since getting those Eevee, although I did breed a couple Scyther parents. Once I get Baton Pass on my Scolipede, i'll try for a proper 5 IV one.

Cordelia February 25th, 2014 4:28 PM

I have almost 600 on my Black, but that's taken me a really long time and LOTS of RNG abuse!

Ghost Lunis February 25th, 2014 5:27 PM

I'm proud to say that the maxed out white game was mostly from trading with people here or battling a while back too.

Absol February 25th, 2014 5:53 PM

Oh hey ho this will be my 1000th post. Decided to post it in my favorite section on PC (duh) and then thank all of the wonderful traders here for being so awesome. <3 Seriously, you guys are an amazing bunch and you help make this forum a cool place to stay and hang out and chat and just have fun. I would do special shoutouts but then it wouldn't be fair to those I don't mention so this is just for all of you. :b

♥♥♥♥ you guys! :D

But logically.... RNG abuse adds VERY LITTLE time to your save. At least compared to the time it took to complete it, especially in Gen IV..... You might have to reset a dozen times to get that one egg or that one capture. A legendary RNG even more so because of the number of times you might hit the right seed but one way or the other screw up the capture. I

So if you are saying that 600 hours is "lots" of RNG abuse.... I am guessing you mean "lots, and lots, and Lots, and LOTS".

destinedjagold February 25th, 2014 6:00 PM

Yesterday evening, still no internet at home, so I decided to breed some PKMN until I got sleepy.

I managed to breed these two lovely PKMN :3

Edit...

Anyway, now that the Power Save has been released, is getting/catching/hatching/trading a shiny still has that "shiny" value on them? Since, y'know, Power Saves can create shinies now. =/

Griffinbane February 25th, 2014 6:53 PM

So I decided to compile all my hours for the hell of it...

Platinum: 999:59? (whatever maxed is)
White: 280 hours
White 2: 148 hours
X: 394 hours

I guess gen 5 is the gen I put the least effort into? Iunno. And considering that XY has been out only for a few months... yeah. I kinda feel sorry for my gen 5 saves. It's strange.

Hiatus February 25th, 2014 10:35 PM

I've never managed to reach maximum playtime in any games before, but one of my longest, though, would probably be around 250 hours in Platinum. Another would be 128, which was in SoulSilver. :P

Aeroblast February 25th, 2014 10:50 PM

Have 999:59 recorded on my HeartGold.

Never reached it either, highest was probably 400 something in Platinum (ugh, completing National dex without trading online was a pain)

By the way... who are you again @>@
