Pokémon - HOENN EDITION

The game's been out for a while, but the old thread was active right until the Reservia 1 shut down.

Arrange trades, battles, and gripe here.

I beat Y version awhile back. It was alright. Now I just wait until PokeBank is live so that I can transfer over all of my GodMons.

Pokebank has been released in Europe!

Oh sweet!

Yeah, you guys go enjoy your bank thing.

I'll be over here.

Annnnd watch us not get it for like 2 weeks.

I hope you'll get it soon :[

I'm dying here.
Well I haven't played for a while, but I'd love to send some Pokes over.

Ughhhhhh, I hope they release NAs soooooon. (Also Suiko I'd still like a Vulpix if that's still on the table xD)

I still have that ready for ya! Lemme know when ya have time!

Yay, I finally filled my whole Dex
...well aside from Meloetta(?) I got every little annoying thing.

If we don't get Pokebank in America in the next couple days... Let's just say Sapphie will be able to help me transfer over all my Pokemon.

I have time any time today now <3

Also I still do want a Venomoth/Venonat(Tinted Lens), Piloswine/Swinub with their HA, HootHoot/Noctowl with their HA, but of course those are more specific asks so I would understand if you wanted something equally as significant in return!

I still need HA Swinub..... if anyone can spare.... eventually....

I've been attempting to hatch a Shiny Litwick.

Today is Day 4.

Ugggghhh, why won't this stupid candle turn teal already?

(Yes, I'm using the Masuda Method.)

This is a silly question, but does Pokebank need to be on the same 3DS as the game? Because I have a Japanese 3DS and could download it there..

To be honest I don't know =(

I was wondering what you people think of my current team for double battles:

Heliolisk @ Leftovers
Ability: Dry Skin
- Electrify
- Parabolic Charge
- Glare
- Volt Switch

Lanturn @ Shell Bell
Ability: Volt Absorb
- Surf
- Soak
- Ice Beam
- Thunder

Klefki @ Damp Rock
Ability: Prankster
- Rain Dance
- Foul Play
- Thunder Wave
- Heal Block

Galvantula @ Focus Sash
Ability: Compound Eyes
- Thunder
- Gastro Acid
- Sticky Web
- Signal Beam

Aerodactyl @ Aerodactylite
Ability: Rock Head
- Sky Drop
- Fire Fang
- Iron Head
- Rock Slide

Whimsicott @ Lagging Tail
Ability: Prankster
- U-turn
- Hurricane
- Switcheroo
- Encore

Lanturn and Heliolisk are an item. If it's raining they're even better, but it's not necessary. In one turn Heliolisk can heal over half of his health, and Lanturn a little over a quarter, while dealing damage to the opponents simultaneously.

Aerodactyl Sky Drop + Galvantula Thunder is just mean. And deadly. Very deadly.

Whimsicott holds a Lagging Tail so it can U-Turn at the end of the turn, ensuring a safe switch in for my next poke. Of course the switcheroo shenanigans with lagging tail are a big plus as well.

I don't have the exact IV's, natures and EV spreads with me at the moment, but Heliolisk, Lanturn and Klefki are built to be both physical and special tanks. Galvantula, Aerodactyl and Whimsicott have maxed Speed and maxed Special Attack, Attack and HP respectively.

I'll post a video link or two tomorrow of a ranked battle.

I'm barely managing to win one out of every five battles in ranked matches with this at the moment, which I guess is still quite a lot with a team like this (crippling earthquake weakness). Do you fellow pokemon trainers/ breeders/ fans have any ideas how I could improve this team?

I still want to see how your Garchomp matchup goes Slivvy.

Pff, nothing that a little priority Switcheroo Ring Target can't handle.

Edit: Slivius, again, thank you for the pokebank transfering!

POISON JAB EYYYYYYYY

But yeah Slivvy's Spider Web..... I need to get a Rapid Spinner.....

I had a foray into Double Battling today going up against Moony. Turns out Mega Gyarados and Skarmory have pretty good synergy, what with Skarmory immune to M-Gyarados' Earthquake and can Whirlwind out threats and whatnot. Also Dragon Dance on Gyarados.

It's tied to your nintendoshop id thing I think but idk?

You wiped the floor with my poor babies ;w; I need revenge someday.

...Did Eren Yaeger just swear vengeance on me?

You did well. I think you could benefit from looking at the opponent's team at the team select, though. Seeing as I had two flying types and two Pokemon with Levitate, laying down two layers of Toxic Spikes wasn't going to really do much to a majority of my team. Just my Infernape and my Whimsicott.

That team isn't even made for double battles though...

Lmao you betcha.

Actually, I usually do better than than with keeping track of weaknesses and advantages etc. Using Nidoqueen was mostly an experiment since I'm not sure how good it fits with my other pokemon. But yes, having the opportunity to look at the opponents team before the match starts is something I need to take advantage of more often ō_ō;
