6th Gen X/Y Quick Q&A (Read First Post)

[Birdiee]

I know this might seem like a stupid question, but I've just completed the game and looking into breeding and stuff, what is all this perfect IV's about? Like, how would I check etc and how do you get shinys? Thanks :)

The Trade Corner has a pretty good guide on 6th Gen breeding, so you'll wanna read up on that to learn about IV breeding.

As for checking your Pokemon's IVs, you'll wanna take them to the IV Judge down in Kiloude City, in the Pokemon Center. This picture is a pretty good guide to interpret what he's saying:

Perfect IVs are IVs of 31. More information on IVs:

Using IV calculators can help you determine your Pokemon's IVs:

Serebii's

Metalkid's

Shiny Pokemon are hard to come by. There's a 1/8192 chance of you running into one randomly. The Masuda Method increases the odds of you hatching a shiny offspring Pokemon, though you need two parents from different-language ames. The Shiny Charm increases the odds of you getting a shiny in general; the Friend Safari also has an increased chance of you finding shinies, even though the chance is still low.

Perfect IV's are 31, those are Individual Values that are responsible for best Pokemon stat growing, if they're perfect, your Pokemon will have maximized statistics (depends of what EV are you training), you check IV's in Kiloude City Poke Center, there is that guy in the very left of the center and he checks IV's of respective Pokemon.

Here is what i found on Bulbapedia, you could've just google it. Those are his quotes depending of how much IV's your Pokemon might have.

Spoiler:

Highest individual stat
"Incidentally, I would say its greatest potential lies in its <best stat>"
(If the Pokémon has two or more equally good best stats, then he will add one of the following lines:)
"But its Attack stat is good, too."
"Hmm. And its Defense stat is good, too."
"Although its Sp. Atk stat is equally good."
"Its Sp. Def stat seems just as good, though."
"And, well, its Speed stat is good, too."
To describe the value of the Pokémon's highest IV(s), he will use one of the following lines:
IV range of 0-15: "It has rather decent stats, I'd say. That's how I judge it."
IV range of 16-25: "It's definitely got some good stats. That's how I judge it."
IV range 26-30: "This Pokémon has some fantastic stats. That's how I judge it."
IV of 31: "Stats like those... They simply can't be beat! That's how I judge it."
Lowest individual stat
If a Pokémon has any IV of 0, he will use one of the following lines:
"But its HP... It's pretty dismal, you know?"
"But that Attack stat... It's terrible..."
"But how can you make it through battle with this kind of Defense stat?"
"But this Sp. Atk won't even leave a scratch on an opponent..."
"But this low of a Sp. Def stat is going to leave you high and dry..."
"But you won't get anywhere fast with this low of a Speed stat..."
(And if there are 2 or more IVs of 0, then he will also use one of the following lines:)
"And that's quite a disappointing Attack stat there, isn't it?"
"And that Defense stat is nothing to write home about, you know?"
"And I'm afraid that its Sp. Atk is pretty bad, too..."
"And it looks like it's no great shakes when it comes to Sp. Def either..."
"And that Speed stat... Well, it's nothing to brag about, that's for sure."

As for Shinies, there is 1/4096 chance to get one, you can use chaining method via PokeRadar, breed via Masuda Method (one foreign Pokemon eg. from Japan and one Pokemon from your country, chances 1/1365), consecutive fishing and Shinies are easier to get in Friend Safari.

E: Double Ninja'd, but well, chances for shiny are not 1/8192 anymore in X.

Hello all,
In Pokémon Black and White there was a character in a house who gave you a special item if you showed him/her a Pokémon raised from level 1 to 100. I thought I met such a character in Pokémon x, but I don't remember the town. Does anyone know what town s/he is in, and if so, what reward you get from leveling a Pokémon 99 times? Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you.

 

[Hasse]

Cafe Soleil (the one where you first meet her talking to Lysandre)? Are you in the middle of the Looker missions by any chance? Because I recall that event occurs once you enter Lumiose City after upgrading your Mega Ring. If you are, try doing them.

I am, thanks I will try! Sorry for the late answer!

ALL horde battles only yield 1 type of EV. Okay, not ALL hordes, just most. There are a couple (like the Seviper/Zangoose horde) that have mixed pokemon, and there are a couple that gived two different EVs (like the Carbink horde) but that's just because Carbink itself gives two different EVs, but for the most part hordes tend to already only give out 1 type of EV and here's a complete list: https://www.serebii.net/xy/hordes.shtml

Is there anything I can do with a 6IV Pancham with Moldbreaker? I'm still breeding so that I can get an Iron Fist one, but I didn't want to throw this one out. I was a little upset that this Pancham had Moldbreaker and perfect everything else. xD

there's LOTS you can get for that, how about a 5IV Naive Zorua with the IV spread 31/31/31/31/x/31 (which I have!) but even if you don't find anything for it right today, definitely keep it in a box because you absolutely will be able to get something good for that sooner or later

It has 6IVs, so if you breed it with a 6IV Ditto, you literally have a 1/32 chance of getting another 6IV. Add that Iron Fist OR Mold Breaker can appear (or course, whatever's already there is more common).

Help Please (Pokemon GL)

Hello there,

I really need some help here. Recently I created a Pokemon Trainers Club acct. I already had a Pokemon GL acct. , but I would like to delete my Pokemon Y game sync from the first account, and move it to the one linked with Pokemon Trainers Club Acct. So, my ultimate question is : if I delete game sync 123 from acct. Abc, can I move game sync 123 to account CBA?

Please answer guys!

 

[Oblivion Wing]

I have no idea dude. Maybe in the actual website they most likely have a "help" link with questions like these, or actual customer support. Trust me dude, that would drive me nuts too. Just check the GL site and see how it goes.

 

[SlickTheNick]

Ok thanks man; I'm worried XD

 

[Cyclone]

I'm going to guess the answer is no. Once it goes into an account, they aren't likely to merge the information into another account. I believe customer service likes to operate on the basis that everyone has only one account and they can't verify you against two accounts at once (e-mail addresses).

But yes, go to their Support. See what they can do.

 

[Howmander]

What are all the switch out moves? I know of U-Turn, Volt Switch, Ally Switch but that's all I know about. Are there more? And second, are there any pokemon that can learn multiple switch out moves? I'm wanting to try something and just curious how it would wok out (not counting smeargle for obvious reasons!)

Cresselia's Hidden Ability?

I was paying in the battle mansion and I accidentally used Earthquake on Cresselia and it somehow managed to hit the pokemon for some reason. The logical explanation for this is that Cresselia has an unobtainable hidden ability (like zapidos' static). Does anyone else know anything?

Cresselia's only known ability is Levitate. As far as anyone knows, it does not have a Hidden Ability. Those are usually pretty easy for hackers to find out anyway.

It is possible to hit a levitating Pokemon with a Ground attack. Perhaps the Cresselia was holding a Ring Target or an Iron Ball. Maybe Gravity was in effect, or it had been hit by Gastro Acid. And what Pokemon was the one using Earthquake? Because if it's ability is Mold Breaker, that would allow it to hit a levitating Pokemon with Earthquake as well.
