Is there any math on the mechanics of Sleep? Cause I hav been trying to catch Entei for horus now (and resetting when it gets the wrong nature or an IV in a stat I won't use, etc) so all told I am estimating around 70 - 80 turns of just putting it to sleep and throwing repeat balls I have been fighting Entei. Now, I have been using Sleep once I get it's HP down to 1 and TWICE it has stayed asleep more than one turn. Every single other time without fail it goes to sleep the turn I use the sleep move on, and then wakes up the very next turn after I have thrown ONE pokeball. The 75% chance of burning, and it knowing to use Swagger the same turn I use Full Restore (even if it was the turn AFTER it already used Swagger!) is getting extremely frsutrating so I just want to know the mechanics of sleep if possible because it seems like absolutely every other pokemon (deoxys and Rayqauz included) at least SOMETIMES stay asleep for more than half a turn!

There was one event where they gave anyway Darkrais during the showing of the Diancie movie in Japan or something, so if that event wasn't shiny locked it could be possible.

I'd ask in this thread though to make sure:
http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=304470

The people down there would know more about this kind of thing.

@Howmander: I think you just had some really shitty luck there

When should I renew Pokemon Bank? I don't want to do it too early because I still have days left that I don't want to go unused, but I don't want to risk doing it too late either just in case I lose everything. Has anyone else renewed theirs yet? Does the year start from as soon as you pay, or is it added onto the end of whatever days you currently have left?

KururuMan February 5th, 2015 9:21 PM

I hope this is not a dumb question, but how do you remove your skin color so you can see through your characters face? People (hackers) online do it and unless they are using a rom I probably have the equipment to do so, too. I just don't know how.

Howmander February 5th, 2015 9:56 PM

I've never heard of that, would you happen to have a pic showing us what you mean?

You do not lose everything once your pass expires. Once this happens, you are unable to upload Pokemon to the bank, but you can bring them back as you please. From that standpoint, you should wait until the day after your pass expires.

Let me find a pic of the no face thing. Might be a while. Edit: i.ytimg.com/vi/dwtNMnj8QMg/hqdefault.jpg

There are Diggersby in Centrico Plaza... Do you think there's any connection to the fact that a Clemont has a Bunnelby in the anime?

I don't really think they're there intentionally, given the games are often made before the anime. So I'm just assuming the Diggersby are there just for aesthetic purposes.

I'm STILL having trouble figuring out what to do with my Smeargle so any suggestions would be great (except for Mind Reader + Sheer Cold, I already have that in the back of my mind but has been using that since Gen 3 so I am just looking for something to change things up, also don't suggest a Baton Passer because I also already have a second Smeargle specifically for that, this smeargle I want to use as an actual attacker of some sort)

Which is more useful:

Transform
Dark Void
Confuse Ray
Leech Seed

or

Transform
Dark Void
Gastro Acid
Leech Seed

Basically in both sets I'm trying to put the opponent to sleep long enough to load up status effects and then transform into it so I can then attack it. I thought of moves to lower it's attacks, but then when I transform into it my attacks are lowered too. Basically the only thing I am set on is having Transform, everything else is pretty open.

(note: disregard my previous question, I did find out that using Gastro Acid first then tranform does NOT negate you from getting the original ability of the pokemon you're copying)

I'd say the second one. Confusion is kinda unreliable, and most Pokemon really don't like losing their ability. Even if they switch out, the incoming Pokemon will lose its ability to Gastro Acid.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, I'll do the second moveset and try it out and see how it works out.

Good Grinding Location(s)
 
Hello! I am in the midst of trying to complete a 'live' Pokedex for the Kalos region and I have encountered a problem of sorts. I can't seem to level my Pokemon up in a timely manner. For instance, Noibat, Tyrunt, and Aurorus are the stinkers that come to mind. Does anybody know a good location with high leveled Pokemon? [Besides Victory Road{XD}] Or trainers that have decent 'mons? Thanks in advance. :)

Pendraflare February 16th, 2015 12:41 PM

Personally, the area i'm most content with is using Sweet Scent in Terminus Cave and battling the Durant there. With those, you'll get over 4000 EXP with the Lucky Egg after one horde. It's not terribly fast, but it'll tide you over at least long enough to get the evolutions or reach to Level 50 you may need.

Gardevoir the Dragon Slayer February 16th, 2015 12:42 PM

I use the Battle Chateau to Grind, Gym Leaders, the Elite four and the Champion all turn up there.

Hikamaru February 16th, 2015 12:44 PM

A great place to grind is against certain trainers in the Battle Chateau (the Furisode Girls there) who use only Audino on their teams, and with a Black Writ of Challenge in effect they get to around Level 55/65 which allows them to give sizable chunks of EXP.

It's recommended to have the Exp. Share on, by using a stronger Pokemon to defeat the Audinos while the rest of the team mooch off the EXP. The trainers in question are unlocked once you reach the Marquis/Marchioness rank.

Pinkie-Dawn February 16th, 2015 12:57 PM

There's the route on the right side of Victory Road, the Battle Chateau, your rival, and the Elite Four. Those are the highest levels you can get.

Foamster-Whiskey February 16th, 2015 1:27 PM

Does anyone know how to upload the VS. Recorder battles from the SD card to the PC. I know you can't just simply put the SD card directly into the PC and search the files. I've looked on the internet but not really found an answer either

One other thing you can try is Restaurant Le Wow in Lumiose City. Rotations is best, to let 2 other Pokemon get the full exp of being in the battle without having to worry about them getting attacked. Lucky Egg and Exp O power is very helpful too. The shrooms you get afterwards make up for the high entry fee.

Also moving this into our Q&A thread.

Is it better to purchase a digital copy or physical copy of the game and if DIGITAL, how big in BYTES the files are to be downloaded?

I always prefer the physical games over digital games because if your devices gets stolen, destroyed, damaged through water or whatever, everything you have is gone, whereas if it's a physical game it's just that one game (yes, I know that you can re download digital games, but look at the apple app store or the google play store, just because some digital programs and games are available NOW doesn't mean they will be available years from now) also if you have a friend or family member that wants to try one of your games you can just lend out the game rather than giving your whole game system. Also, if you start accumulating a lot of games that you no longer play, you can trade them in for credit at some game stores, whereas with digital games, nada.

As for the size of Pokemon, it's not bytes, it's almost 2 GIGABYTES ( http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/09/pokemon_omega_ruby_and_alpha_sapphires_file_size_is_a_bit_of_a_pocket_monster ) so that's another reason I prefer physical games, you don't need to ever worry about losing space or needing to buy another SD Card when you want to buy a new game.

Why would someone do that? And no, you purchase digital games first and once your payment goes through, then you can download it. (you can't download it first and then pay for it afterwards)

Qibli February 16th, 2015 10:30 PM

Oh I see, yes you can stop downloading and download it again later, no you can't download without buying because your purchase actually needs get processed before the system allows the download to begin.

Okay, so, wait, I got a Winter Sawsbuck with Serene Grace so I was going to breed a winter form Deerling, however on looking on Serebii it only has 5 moves that use Serene Grace (Energy Ball, Shadow Ball, Rock Smash, Bounce and Snore) and 3 of them are special moves anyway, is that accurate or am I skimming over the move pool and missing something?

This is accurate, yes. Because of this, Serene Grace is inferior compared to Chlorophyll and Sap Sipper on the Sawsbuck family. Just because a Pokemon has access to a good ability doesn't mean it has the right moves to abuse it.

No idea if you can dodge an Aerial Ace in an in-game battle, but Max Affection is ignored in online PvP battles.

Nope, moves that can't miss can't miss, regardless of affection, agility, evasion or any other modifiers. The exceptions are two turn moves like Dig, Phantom Force, etc, or moves like Detect, Protect, etc.

Qibli February 23rd, 2015 5:33 PM

What I mean is.

Moves like Aerial Ace/Shockwave can it miss if my pokemon affection is level 5 (max) [and I'm refering to offline play]

As Howmander said before, they cannot miss even if your Affection is maxed out.

Tailwind indeed lasts 4 turns, including the turn you used it. However, you essentially only have 3 turns to take advantage of the Speed boost.

Which does more Damage? Frost Breath or Ice Beam? I know the critical hit damage is no longer 100%, but a google search is giving me conflicting information, so places say Critical Hit does 60% more damage (therefore Frost Breath gets slightly more damage while at the same time ignoring defensive stat boosts) but other sites say it only does 33% more damage (making Frost Breath still do less damage than Ice Beam) so which number is accurate? Thanks!

According to Bulbapedia, Frost Breath has 60 base power, and critical hits do 50% more damage, so Frost Breath is a 90 base power move, just like Ice Beam. Ice Beam is more accurate, and does have the chance to freeze, so Ice Beam is still superior.

As of Gen 6, criticals add 50%, or x1.5, however you want to take it. :p

Due to the always critical in Frost Breath, it becomes 90 BP instead of it's normal 60.
So Frost Breath and Ice Beam are the same power, but obviously, one can be more useful than the other during different situations.

I hope this answered your question. :D

So there's a THIRD number floating around now, lol! :D But I'm glad the actual number was confirmed (people always say Google it, but when you do you get wrong answers anyway! Definitely way better to ask these questions on a message board!) But yes, since they're the same power that definitely makes my decision for me, Frost Breath it is! Thank you guys

This is actually about Bank, so I'll just assume the XY Q&A is an okay place to ask, as I've done in the past lol. Anyway, I think my days on my pass have expired, so how lenient is Bank on when you need to pay for your pass renewal? I plan on buying it today, but last I checked, at the beginning of February I had 22 days left. So I can't imagine I'm far behind. It doesn't delete your Pokemon if you're not right on time to renew or anything does it? It's just a Pokemon storing program not a water bill, so I figure it's more lenient, but wanted to make sure if anyone knew. My boyfriend keeps his Pokemon in my Bank (I think he uses it more than I do wow) and I don't want him to lose anything. Thanks in advance!

Howmander March 4th, 2015 8:08 AM

Does Me First rely on the Att/SpAtt of the user, or is it simply a blanket 50% boost on however strong the move would have been when used by the opponent? (Hopefully that wording makes sense)

Pendraflare March 4th, 2015 9:03 AM

I'm pretty sure the 50% boost is the user's offensive stats, not the opponents. Not like, say, Foul Play, which clearly uses the opponent's stats, this one is the move you're about to use on them.

Howmander March 5th, 2015 2:38 AM

I ask this because certain things that stack don't mathmatically compute (such as a move that hits 5 times with King's Rock does not actually equal a 50% chance of flinching) which is why I'm asking this: If Sitrus Berry heals 25% and Cheek Pouch heals by 33%, does using them together heal the user by 58% or is there some sort of nerf that happens when using them together?

Sitrus Berry+Cheek Pouch does just simply add together, so you get 58% of your health from that. King's Rock+Skill Link must use a different formula for its calculation or something, but idk.

I know that it's just the way it is, but has anyone ever read WHY Nidorina and Nidoqueen cannot breed? I have been running around Route 11 trying to find a Nidorina and I just went onto Serebii to check egg moves and saw that it can't breed. I did get a female Nidoran from a horde and understand that in order to get egg moves I just breed them using the female Nidoran so I don't need explanations on how to breed egg moves, I am just curious if there has ever been an explanation as to why Nidorina and Nidoqueen can't breed at all. It just seems like a ridiculous mechanic to put in the game. I can see it being a glitch in gen 2 or something, but a glitch wouldn't have been left in the game 5 generations later.

It's most likely an oversight in Gen II, when breeding was introduced.

So further Nido question, why is almost every suggested moveset for Nidoking a special moveset? Shouldn't it be physical movesets since it has a much higher Att stat, or did Nidoking used to have high special attack or something or is there something unique about it that makes it a better special attacker?

Nidoking's special moves have better coverage than its physical ones. Pretty much all its viable special attacks benefit from Sheer Force, which includes, but not limited to: Sludge Bomb/Wave, Earth Power, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt and Fire Blast. While its physical move pool is also good, Earthquake forces Nidoking to take Life Orb recoil, as it isn't an attack that benefits from Sheer Force (to clarify, if a Sheer Force Pokemon holding Life Orb uses an attack that's boosted by Sheer Force, it doesn't take Life Orb recoil). In perspective, Sheer Force + Life Orb-boosted Earth Power (slightly) outdamages a simple Life Orb-boosted Earthquake. The same can be said for Sludge Wave and Poison Jab.

Okay, so does Sand Force REALLY boost the pokemon's Sp Def by 50% AS WELL AS boosting the strength of ground, rock and steel type moves by 33%? (or technically, Rock type pokemon) Cause if so, that seems to be a GREATLY overlooked ability, and had I known that earlier on, a lot more of my rock pokemon would have gotten that ability! The reason I ask is because neither Bulbapedia nor Serebii say it boosts Sp Def by 50% ( http://www.serebii.net/abilitydex/sandforce.shtml , http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Sand_Force_(Ability) ) however on an old Serebii Pokemon of the Week article ( http://www.serebii.net/potw-bw/526.shtml ) and Pokemon DB thread ( http://pokemondb.net/pokebase/101504/sandstorm-sand-force ) say it does so is this 50% boost accurate? And if it only applies to Rock Types, does that mean only pure rock types or dual Rock and other types?

The 50% Special Defense boost in sandstorm only applies to Rock Pokemon. It's been that way since Gen IV.

Sand Force simply powers up the user's Rock, Ground and Steel moves in sandstorm.

Man you accumulate a lot of questions when breeding! Okay, so what's the deal with Metal Burst? It says it doesn't take type affinities or resistances into account, but then you see sites like this: http://www.marriland.com/pokedex/moves/368-metal-burst that show on the calculator (when you select a particular pokemon) that it does take type affinities into account even though the paragraph right above it says it doesn't, well, which is it? Is it typeless and does straight 1.5x damage back on the opponent, or does it take type affinities into account too?

Metal Burst deals typeless damage. There may be an error with the calculator.

Just check it's description. If it says it traveled through time and space to reach you from the Johto Region, then it could easily be Legit, since in HGSS you can soft-reset for it, the same goes for Kanto from FRLG.

If it has the Blue Pentagon, and it says from the Unknown Dungeon or something like that, then it's hacked.

Okay since I JUST found out (a couple weeks ago) that Rock Types get a 50% boost in Sp Def during Sand Storm (seriously, why do no sites actually make an obvious mention of this?! and I STILL can't find out if it only applies to pure rock types or dual rock types as well) I was wondering if there are other things that aren't mentioned anywhere, specifically, if certain pokemon/pokemon abilities/types of pokemon are more prone to status ailemnts than others, because I am training a Makuhita with Guts and it seems to get infected with status aiments 100% of the time from moves that don't have a 100% infect rate (such Poison Sting that I got hit 10 times in a row with in different battles and got infected with poison 10 times in a row, or Lick which I got hit with 6 times in a row and got infected with paralysis 6 times in a row) mathmatically I should have been able to be hit at least ONCE out of those 16 times with those moves and NOT gotten infected, right? Or does my Makuhita just happen to be prone to infection because of it's ability or even it's species?

The 50% boost to Special Defense applies to all Rock Pokemon, regardless of whether have 1 or 2 types.

The Guts ability has nothing to do with how often the user gets hit by the secondary effects of moves (if the secondary effect happens to be a status). The odds must be against you, then. The best use of Guts is to switch the user in on a predicted Thunder Wave, WIll-o-Wisp or Toxic

on movesets I CONSTANTLY hear to use U-Turn to keep your teams momentum (to the point that I hate hearing the word "momentum" anymore!) but my question is HOW. (I understand that U-turn causes damage before the pokemon leaves, so don't point THAT out, I already understand that part of the equation)

So this is what I'm not getting:

Fast Pokemon uses U-turn 1st turn, switches out for next pokemon, next pokemon can't attack and gets attacked by opponent.

vs

Simply switching pokemon, old pokemon leaves, new pokemon comes in, can't attack and gets attacked by opponent.

So where exactly is this imaginary momentum coming from and how is it different than simply switching?

(again, because people skim read, I understand U-turn damages the opponent before switching, that does not need to be reiterated, what I'm asking is how is any momentum gained when in both situations the new pokemon switching in gets damaged before it can attack anyway. This "momentum" has never made any sense to me because of the above scenario. Thanks to anyone who can clarify.

Edit: Also I understand that U-Turn can switch out on moves/abilities that prevent normal switching out, but again, I don't see how that's "momentum" exactly.

If I understand the concept of U-Turn/Volt Switch momentum in battles correctly, the idea is to use U-Turn/Volt Switch on a predicted switch to bring in a counter to the counter that your opponent is bringing in to your U-Turner/Volt Switcher.

Like let's say you have Scizor out, and the opponent has Mega Diancie out. Your opponent doesn't want to keep in Mega Diancie because it'll get annihilated by Scizor's Bullet Punch. But they have a Heatran on their team, which counters your Scizor. So they're probably going to switch Mega Diancie out for Heatran. So you use U-Turn then, predicting this switch. Heatran comes out, Scizor U-turns away, and you bring in your Heatran counter, all in the same turn. The turn is over, and your opponent is still in an unfavorable position.

Okay, that I can sort of understand. Although I still don't get why switching normally ruins your momentum, while U turning keeps it going even though they're both switching at the same point in battle (if your pokemon is faster than your opponent, that is) but I do kind of understand what you're saying though

Manually switching can do the same thing too, it's just that U-Turn/Volt Switch has the added benefits of doing a bit of damage or letting you escape from trapping moves/abilities. It also allows a slow, bulky teammate to safely bring in a frail Pokemon.

Hi all,

I'm having a semi competitive 3vs3 monotype battle with a friend in a few weeks. We don't really get much time to play anymore so im a bit outa of touch, we like the bragging rights of winning against each other so its important i win!

Any suggestions on a monotype that would work well? Looking for a small team that would be able to cover most of their weaknesses(i'm aware that this is impossible) .We are both picking at type from random, so it could go horribly wrong for one of us from the get go.

Just throw your though ideas out there. I think its important to mention that i have Pokemon X and have no access to the latest game.

That is probably and error on Serebii's part. Not like Bulbapedia's immune to errors either, but they don't list Venom Drench on their Sheer Force page:

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Sheer_Force_(Ability)

Venom Drench is also the only non-damaging move listed on the Serebii page. Either way, Sheer Force boosts damage, so there's no way for it to affect non-damaging moves.

Does anyone find Telepathy useful on Musharna? I initially bred two (one with synchronize and one with Forewarn) to try out both to see which I wanted, but I've decided to go the Hypnosis+Dream Eater route and because of that, I CAN'T use Synchronize in case someone paralyses or poisons Musharna first, then it passes that condition to the attacker and therefore cannot put them to sleep, so my only options are Forewarn and to rebreed to get Telepathy, and I never bred telepathy in the first place because not only is it only useful in double or triple battles, but it also is only useful on the (relatively) few attacks that attack team mates so now I'm not really sure what to do with Musharna so I'm just curious now that my only options are Forewarn and Telepathy if anyone uses Telepathy on Musharna and what you think of it. And for that matter, if anyone uses Forewarn (not just read the text description on Serebii and decided it was useless) I'd like to hear opinions on that too please. Thank you!

The Hypnosis + Dream Eater strategy is unreliable because the first thing the opponent does with a sleeping Pokemon is to switch it out, rendering Dream Eater useless on the switch-in.

Telepathy only sees use in double battle formats, when Musharna would be paired with an Earthquake user. In singles, however, Synchronize is the preferred ability in order to punish opponents for burning it, poisoning it or paralyzing it.

There's no secret really. It's just pure chance. And pretty crappy chance at that. They both only have a 10% to appear, and it doesn't help that they only appear from those dark blobs in the cave. And it's not like Magnet Pull or Static helps here, so unfortunately you just have to keep trying until they show up =(

I know it was no real secret, on serebii is says "3d and special" so I thought it was some thing weird about getting those 2. But thanks for the info.

The X/Y updates apply to the DS system you're using, not the game cartridges themselves.

Howmander March 23rd, 2015 11:00 AM

So I just got to Lapras in Y and now I need to dedicate a couple of HM slaves, so what moves are needed to explore in X and Y?

I know Dive is not used (so I won't need that) but are Cut, Fly, Surf, Strength, Waterfall, Flash and Rock Smash the only field moves I'm going to need to explore? (I already know about sweet scent and have a level 100 Teddiursa for that) I want to know all the field moves I will need so I can plan what pokemon will learn what moves. It was easier in ORAS because Dragonite could learn fly, Surf, Dive and Waterfall so I could put all my travel moves on one pokemon and all my obstacle moves on another (Kecleon, I believe) but now that I have Lapras and can ride it ont he overworld, I want to keep that as the water travel pokemon and just want to make sure wI know what moves can be used so I only need one other pokemon to handle everything else I may come across. Thanks!

It says ORAS but it still applies for all 6th Gen games. If you have further questions, feel free to ask in this thread.

If you were instead wondering how to breed for IVs (you train for EVs, breed for IVs, and it's important to know the difference between the two), the Trade Corner has a good guide on breeding right here: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=321336#breeding

Will Deleting my Profile Delete Event Pokemon Also?
 
So I have been considering deleting my profile on Pokemon Y and starting over. I'm just interested in playing the game from the start once again and am willing to re-train my pokemon once again.

The only problem I have is that I also have an Event Diancie that I'm not sure I'll get back if I start over. I noticed I still have a Diancie Wonder Card in the gifts folder, which appears to be separate from the game profiles as it is available at the main menu.

Based on this information I am unsure if this means I can reacquire Diancie once I start again or if I will be stuck with just the Wonder Card. I still have the activation code for some reason but I doubt it will work a second time.

If you have any information it would be greatly appreciated

Howmander March 25th, 2015 6:22 PM

Nope, once you delete your save file off your game card EVERYTHING is gone, including all your pokemon if you don't move them to another game or onto Pokebank. Wonder cards, everything is deleted. And even if your Diancie Wonder Card didn't get deleted (for the sake of argument) the event has expired so you can no longer download it from the internet.

Alpha_Spike March 25th, 2015 7:11 PM

As stated above, you'll lose everything upon deleting the save. However there is a way to keep certain stuff you want, if you like. It requires another system and game, or another person willing to help. Trade all you wish to keep to them, giving the pokemon items to hold, then restart. As soon as you get the pokedex and balls, start catching enough to trade back for them. Requires someone you trust, or as I said another system and game that you can control. Also apparently if you have Pokebank you can send pokemon to there, without items, and keep them in a new game. But for items the way I suggested is the only way, and also the way I suggested is free.

I moved your question into the X/Y Q&A thread.

The reason that Sweet Scent doesn't work in Route13/Lumiose Badlands is because of the ever-present strong winds and sandstorm; the Sweet Scent gets blown away. Sweet Scent also does not work when it's raining.

If you're in need of a Hidden Ability Gible, either try to get a Friend Safari that contains Gabite, or ask for one in the Trade Corner.

Which would be more useful, Entrainment or Skill Swap? I want the move primarily to give levitate to a partner, but I can see situations where it might be handy to get the targets ability in exchange for giving levitate to the target, so I'm not really sure which move would be more useful.

Serene Grace works with any move that has a chance of inflicting secondary effects, and Poison Jab under normal conditions has a 30% chance of inflicting poison which gets doubled to 60% with Serene Grace. So basically, it's a yes here.

If Furfrou is on the right, go at it from the left. You need to make the Furfrou go north into the maze. Next, position your rival at the spot Furfrou was just standing, then walk towards the Furfrou at the top of the maze to corner it in the dead end. Walk towards the Furfrou from the side again so it doesn't run past you, and make sure you come at it from the opposite direction of your Rival's position. If your Rival is at the bottom right, come at Furfrou from the left."

What's the advantage of Nuzzle over Thunder Wave? Obviously there's damage involved, but it's so miniscule is it even worth considering? The reason I ask is because Nuzzle is a contact move so it activates abilities that are affected by direct contact, whereas thunder wave does not, so wouldn't thunder wave be better? O ris there stuff that nuzzle can paralyze that thunder wave cannot?

Nah April 1st, 2015 3:24 PM

Nuzzle doesn't get effected by Taunt, so there's that. I suppose it could also let you paralyze an opponent while breaking Sturdy/Focus Sash too.

This is a super specific question that maybe no one on the boards can answer, but I am using Shaw Go Wifi at work and cannot trade Pokemon. I did update my game to the latest version, I can see people online, I can say Nice to them, I can get them back, I can initiate interactions with people and I get notifications when friends come online, i can give and recieve O-Powers, but I can't trade. When I try to trade with a friend, it always tells me there's an error and to try again from the beginning, and when I try to wonder trade it always tells me it couldn't find me a trading partner and to try again in a little while, thing is when I'm at home (also by the same Internet provider) I have no problem to trade at all, and even though this wifi is at work, it's by the same company and uses my same login info, so it should be the same wifi as far as I know. So has anyone had a similar issue? I've already called Nintendo and they said to contact my service provider, and I contacted my service provider 3 times (cause the first two knew nothing about game systems on public wifi) and the third one told me to contact Nintendo so I have no idea why I can't trade but why that is the only function I cannot do. I can even fully access Pokebank with no issues, it's literally ONLY trading I cannot do

That's the thing, it's not my work that provides my wifi, the company that provides my home Internet also has free wifi set up at most major public spaces open to anyone who has an account with them. They offer this service across the country wherever they operate, and once you log into one hot spot you automatically are logged in anywhere in Canada that the company offers wireless Internet, so it has nothing to do with my work security, it's simply that my work happens to also be one of the public places that the company offers it's own wifi to it's customers

You're going to need something to fly on and a Water type for water travel since Braxien, Axew, and Honedge don't do those things. Which ones you use are up to you, because we all find different shinies to look good/bad.

Shiny Talonflame/Shiny Charizard for Fly duties - not ideal for the crossover of fire typing but much better pokemon than braixen in my opinion.
