6th Gen In-Game Quick Questions & Answers

[Hikamaru]

What horde gives Special Defense EVs? I would check this page but my internet is actually so slow right now that I can't even load it.

According to Serebii, the hordes that yield Sp. Defense EVs are Swablu, Kecleon, Spoink and Lotad (Alpha Sapphire only). You can find out their locations here: https://www.serebii.net/omegarubyalphasapphire/hordes.shtml

Is there anything to Deoxys then just catching it in the Delta episode? If you go back to the Space Center afterwards they ask you if you find info on Deoxys to tell them.

I guess you just catch it, because I don't recall the people in the Space Center mentioning Deoxys. I may be wrong though.

I have no clue, just went back to the Space Center and they asked about that.

If you KOed Deoxys in the Delta Episode, you'll have to defeat the Elite 4 again. If you do, Deoxys will respawn at the top of Sky Pillar. That's what the Space Center scientists were hinting at.

So its like the Looker line, leads nowhere.

Not exactly. There's still the Battle Resort, as well as catching legendaries in Mirage Spots.

What I meant is a storyline doesn't start with Deoxys or Looker. Once you meet/catch them they don't go anywhere.

Does the game automatically save after the delta episode?

Heyyo! Yep the game does indeed save automatically after you complete the Delta Episode. ^-^

Oh thanks for the prompt reply. c: So if I soft reset for the starter, I would still have the rayquaza and deoxys?

When SRing for a starter, does it appear shiny when choosing the starter or is it shown during the battle?

Do you need X and Y to trade in these games? Or can you trade among the Alpha/Omega users?

You can trade between all 4 of those games.

 

[TatumJay]

Ah, I see. I was worried I would be unable to trade without buying X/Y. Thank you.

There are certian items and pokemon that can't be trading between those, just letting you know.

Hmm I see. Hopefully nothing too important, then.

 

[Nah]

Hmm I see. Hopefully nothing too important, then.

Basically what you can't trade to X/Y from ORAS is all the Mega Stones introduced in ORAS (like Lopunnite or Beedrillite), the Red and Blue Orbs, and any Groudons, Kyogres, and Rayquazas that know Precipice Blades, Origin Pulse, or Dragon Ascent, respectively.

I would like to add on that, you can trade Latiosite and Latiasite to XY, despite they are not obtainable in XY. As they were programmed in Pokémon XY. Otherwise everything is as Nah says.

I'm getting the game in about a week's time. I just have a question about DexNaving.

Is it wise to start chaining for good Egg Moves on certain Pokemon before I beat the Elite Four / Delta Episode or should I just try to limit my chain to 5-10 to not be overlevelled and risk whiting out when trying to catch that Pokemon?

I would suggest actual breeding than chaining for Egg Moves, as the moves from DexNav come randomly.

Here's what I gathered from Bulbapedia when it comes to your concern about the overlevel.
Hidden Pokémon can be 10 levels higher than the level otherwise possible in that area. If a Pokémon is at a higher level due to this, an exclamation mark will appear next to its level. Whenever this occurs, the Pokémon will also have an egg move as its first move.

• By chaining hidden Pokémon, a separate bonus of up to 20 levels can also be reached (making the total possible bonus +30 levels).

Yes, there is a chance you'll be whited out if you aren't careful.

As the image shows, this Skitty is Level 8. In the same matter, when you're really hunting for a Pokémon just watch out for the level.

While there are risks and the Egg Moves are totally random, DexNav undeniably is a good method for hunting Pokémon with Hidden Abilities.

Thanks for the quick response! That answered my other question which I was about to post as well.

Pretty New Here & Need Some Help...

I just posted a thread the other day and it was for the sake of exchanging Friend Codes w/ other players. It got taken down, so I obviously posted it in the wrong place. Where do we exchange FCs for OR&AS? I thought it would be in this section since this is the OR&AS forum. Thanks, guys.
