"lend" is not exactly the word I would use. How would you return it? :)

Nah October 30th, 2014 11:08 AM

I can't remember, are the codes region locked?

Stock response. "So?"

You should have seen my disapproval of Heracross.

Ugh I can imagine. Im kinda glad I didn't get that event.

Indeed, I compared the event to my own. Mine has 4 Egg Moves, it can have its hidden ability, and it has 6IVs and a special Poké Ball (Level Ball) if I abandon the hidden ability. Nintendo could have gone and created a special move to go with it; even the Pinsir got three TMs on it at receipt, though no special moves. So I basically have the Heracross for collectibility, but I sure as hell ain't using it. :)

Did anyone like the NPC dialogue when they got Diancie? On one hand it was annoying to scroll through that on each reset, on the other it made Diancie feel more special because NO ONE mentions this thing in-game at all.

Howmander October 30th, 2014 4:49 PM

So I've been soft resetting for hours and been going on message boards to get some idea how long this may take to get a 5iv diancie (of which I did get one once, but was a neutral nature and was missing so def) but the vast majority of posters are trying for nature that boost speed (hasty, naive, etc) am I missing something? Why would you waste the extra points on such a horrible stat? (Base 50) and it's most message boards I've seen, from gamefaqs to Facebook, and I get speed is good so you can attack first, when the initial base is 50, why bother? especially when it naturally learns trick room and can also learn gyro ball, I would think intentionally lowering your speed would be more beneficial

I think that those people have Mega Diancie in mind. When it mega evolves, its Speed stat jumps all the way up to 110. It also gets base 160 offenses (at the cost of a little Defense and Sp.Defense).

But if you don't plan on Mega Evolving your Diancie, then you're right, you don't wanna bother with a +Speed nature.

OOOOOHHH!!! Okay, I had no idea that happened, okay, yeah, THAT makes a lot of sense now, thank you for bringing that to my attention! (I am really getting to hate mega evolution more and more! If it was just blanket boosting to pokemon, great, but more and more have completely different stats than their pre evolved forms that you more and more need to train for their normal forms OR their mega forms, not always both)

So, Opinions, I got one with the IV spread 31/31/31/28-29/31/31 but it has a Neutral Nature, so should I just keep trying for the nature and IV spread I want, or settle for close to the IVs I want?

GreenFlame November 1st, 2014 2:33 AM

Are the codes region-locked? If so, has anybody got a spare one that will work in Australia? Me and my sibling were gonna go this weekend to get ourselves a Shiny Gengar each, but then something came up and we can't go and the promotion ends in a few days, so the only way I'm getting a code/s is on the internet. I would be very grateful to the person who gets me one, and I can even give a 5 IV Timid Protean Froakie to show gratitude.

If you haven't read my post earlier in the thread, Australia will be getting its own Diancie event starting on the 10th, so you could just wait until then. But as far as I'm aware, the codes in the US Diancie event going on right now are region-locked because I think I heard from a user on Tumblr that they couldn't trade their Diancie to a non-US 3DS.

The codes can also be picked up on the 8th and 9th at Hoyts Cinemas where the Diancie movie will be screened during that time.

I know Diancie isn't available in Australia yet, I was talking about the Shiny Gengar that's available. Sorry, I should have specified. It will no longer be available come November 5th.

JeanCG November 1st, 2014 8:28 PM

Does anyone have any code of Diancie that could give me? Because in my country was not available neither Gengar and nor Diancie!

Cyclone November 2nd, 2014 8:23 AM

So, someone update me. Is the Diancie, at this point, STILL untradeable?

oshimas November 2nd, 2014 4:59 PM

i've been on my 5th soft-reset and still no 3 perfect/near perfect ivs. :/ idk how long it's going to take me.

Which one? Gengar or Diancie? Gengar has all 6 IVs totally random, whereas Diancie apparently has a glitch that some game cartridges get random IVs whereas others get teh correct 3 IVs. I myself got two, one in X and one in Y, and the X had no perfect IVs at all, no matter how often I reset, until I happened to get one with 2 IVs so I just took it and ran. The second Diancie in my Y game DID have the 3 perfect IVs so I kept resetting until I got a 31/31/31/29/31/31 spread, and I figured that was probably the best I could hope for so I took it. Incidentally, that took me 3 solid days of Soft Resetting. It wasn't so bad though, I was catching up on Netflix shows at the time and just kept tapping the button.

Just with Diancie, the last spread I got using serebii's iv calculator was: 31 / 26,27 / 22 / 7 / 28 / 2
and I'm still waiting to get one with some decent IV spread for a speed team.

edit: i gave up for this spread: 20, 21 / 22, 23 / 2, 3 / 8, 9 / 14, 15 / 30

I know someone posted on Tumblr (to be specific, two users, both of whose posts I since reblogged to my page) said they couldn't use the Diancie in online battles, but I'm still not sure about the trading issue. If they couldn't battle with it, there could be a chance that it may be unable to be traded as well, and that means if one wants to get it over to OR/AS they'll have to do it via Pokemon Bank which can be a fiddly process.

I could already imagine some people may not even want to get the Diancie now if they found out about these limitations. I already hate how terribly event distributions this generation have been going so far, not only has there been a severe lack of global wi-fi events (only ones I know of are Blazikenite Torchic, Fancy Vivillon and the recent Super Size Pumpkaboo) but almost every event barring those have either been exclusive to a certain country or have those single-use codes which I think is a stupid way to distribute event Pokemon.

Game Freak are like being totally literal with the term "region-locked" here.

What do you mean a fiddly process? I just moved my Diancie from X to Pokebank, then swapped teh X and Y cartridges and moved it into there. Took seconds each time. And since Diancie has a time limit on the availability of the event, their options are to get it now or wait 5 years till the next event comes out, particularly if the Diancie remains untradeable.

Here's what I'm concluding. See the following post I'm quoting which is above yours:

Nintendo obviously wanted all Diancie to be a minimum of 3 perfect IVs. These ones are not registering that every time due to the apparent glitch. Those Diancie are being blocked by the GTS.

The only fix is to allow any and all Diancie to be tradeable from this event. That is the only fix. The only limitation at this point should be Shiny since it is not released. Other Diancie can enforce the usual limitation, and Nintendo needs to re-release the Diancie event for those who did not get the correct Diancie. Because these people will NOT get a Diancie that can be traded to the new games for the Mega Stone. Of course, they can keep them untradeable and just put a Diancie event in OR/AS, but that would conflict with the Shiny Beldum.

The main problem I'm mentioning about Bank is that not everyone can afford it.

Its $5 a YEAR. the game is $39 - $44 (depending on the store) and you can use Nintendo eShop gift cards to pay for it, so if you can afford the game, you can afford Pokebank. Heck, if you buy the game at Wal Mart instead of EB Games the $5 you save on teh price difference pays for 1 year of Pokebank.
