6th Gen X/Y Quick Q&A

[BUKKØW]

nope shouldnt matter.. is the ditto foreign? if not it will take a lot longer to get a shiny.. even if it is foreign( japanese, french, italian) it still a crap shoot. i have 9 boxes of froakies and still no shiny.. it takes time and patience but ive heard its worth the wait...

 

[PlatinumDude]

I've found 20 mega stones, and I know there are at least two more I'm missing. How many of these stones are there as of now (counting X/Y stones as one)? I only want to know the number, not what they are or where they're found.

There are 28 Mega Stones total.

 

[Gizmo-Dude17]

I'm not sure, but that most likely/probably doesn't effect your chanses of a shiny at all. Nor have I ever heard of anything like that effecting the game in any way (awhile breeding pokemon). good luck though!

Mega Alakazam...better than Life Orb+MG?

I'm quite partial to the gen 5 Life Orb + Magic Guard Alakazam, he was one of my favorite special attackers in the game. And I'm going to place him back into my gen 6 team atleast for now...but is it worth attaching the Life Orb? or should I go for the Mega Alakazam? Which is more powerful in the long run? Do you guys have any insight?

I run a Calm Mind offensive set...with or without sub

Yeah it's japanese with the little tag showing it is. Thanks for the reply I was starting to get worried haha

Right!? But, I have heard, and seen videos of where people find a pokemon egg to be a shiny only after 20 eggs! Ugh! Lucky persons! >_>

In my opinion, you'd be better off going with Mega Alakazam. Regular Alakazam may out rank its mega form offensively while holding onto Life Orb, but Mega Alakazam is much faster. Not only that, but it's also got better defensive stats, so opponents won't be having such an easy time trying to take it down.

Also, I'm merging this with quick Q&A; it doesn't need to have its own thread. d:

Merged.

Question about iv breeding:
I have a Fletchling(male) with 31 at HP/ATK/SPEED and a fletchinder with 31 DEF/SPEEDand Gale Wings(female)
I wanna go for a 31/31/31/??/31/31 Talonflame so i gave fletchling the everstone to pass down the Adamant and fletchinder the destiny knot.Then once i hatch a fletchling with 31 IVS at HP ATK DEF SPEED Male with Gale wings i am gonna take out thefletchinder with the destiny knot(female)take a ditto with 31 at special def,give it the destiny knot and breed it with the Fletcchling(male with gale wings) that has 31 at everything except SpAtk and SpDef.Then i will continue breeding till i find the one i want.
Is there something wrong with that method?
I have been breeding my Male fletchling max HP ATK SPEED with my Fletchinder Female with gale wings max Def Speed(destiny knot)for an hour and i havent gotten a single one that has max HP ATK DEF SPEED.

Could anyone help me find a few shiny values for my eggs please? Thank you!
I have the program, and I can check your eggs for you if you like as well.

etc...

It not a bad method, but it will take a long time. couple hours at least.

I've got a question regarding consecutive fishing.

Yesterday, I started consecutive fishing and three times, I had a chain of about 30 to 50 Pokémon. But no shiny yet. I heard it was fairly easy to catch a shiny via consecutive fishing but how long does the chain have to be in order to encounter a shiny?

 

[NRG]

If a politoed with drizzle holds a damp rock will it increase the number of turns the rain falls for, or is it's effect restricted to rain dance?

There's no set point where you will get a shiny, but (supposedly) the chances of getting a shiny increase with each consecutive pull. The odds will still be low, just better than normal.

I had lots of chains that size, never had a shiny, then today I was fishing to fill a pokedex and got a shiny Staryu on the 5th pull. So yeah... pretty random.

So, I'm at the unkempt part of route 6, & I've heard that there are Pokémon that are found in patches of shaking grass. Is finding a patch of shaking grass in X/Y work the same way as in B/W?

No, the shaking bushes are located in the middle path of the route. They shake at random and a Pokémon will jump at you if you walk close to them.

Ok what just happend?!?

Ok so 3 1/2 weeks ago i caught a shiny skorupi. We all know that shiny are now a bit more common. So after i beat the game and everything i decide to start training it. and then it reaches level 40. then it evolves!!! Fun stuff right? Nope 'cause the evolved drapion lost its shiny color. in my opinion i think it might be a glitch because now it does not look like this

instead its the regular old purple Drapion. if you think it might be a glitch let me know in my profile or the thread. If its a newly discoverd glitch lets solve it!!

 

[pokewalker]

Just reset your game and evolve it again. Also report it to Nintendo. Take a pic of its summary and send it to them along with it, including where you evolved it.
And nope, never heard of it xD

Eviolite

Does the eviolite work on pokemon that can mega evolve?
