Woop! Showdown now updated their random battles with XY pokemon and megaevolutions! No more infinite weather and hello fairy typing.

[Furtuka]

Turns out the fabled boutique discount coupon is actually a real thing, and is going to be distributed via some sort of global link event starting on the 14th

I've somehow obtained a azurill and a riolu with good I.V.s. Sort of. They have mid-upper 20ies across the board with the exception of a singular stat, which is in the single digits. The crippled I.V. for azurill is health and for riolu is speed. The azurill I got through wonder trade (Looking at its level, it appears to be a random capture that was thrown out there. The donator likely didn't know or care what they sent out.), and the riolu through GTS. Corrective breeding on the way. Only now do I realize how frustrating it is to breed lucario.

Meanwhile, I've been trying to scrap together decent I.V. pokes from the pokemon giveaway subreddit. Minimal success so far, but it appears promising.

All baby pokemon have at least two perfect IVs when caught in the wild.

[Thexor]

I know legendaries are guaranteed 3 perfect IVs, didn't know about babies having 2 though. Is that just for 'baby' (ie non-breedable) mons, or anyone capable of using Eviolite?

[umiman]

Actually, I think it's 3 IVs. Let me check.

Yeah. It's three. Here you go: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/in-game-question-do-baby-pokemon-always-have-3-perfect-ivs.3490056/

Basically if you find any of these in the wild in XY, they'll have three IVs.

[BuriBuriZaemon]

Yes, those baby pokemons are awesome, that's how I got my 3IVs Azumarill and Lucario without even realising it. Now I have the 5IVs ones. XD

Just got a Marvel Scale Dratini with ESpeed and DDance, been looking for a while!

Also is anyone here interested in sparring matches? I don't have enough RL friends that play Pokemon.

[umiman]

I'm always on Showdown.

/r/Pokemongiveaway is great. I just got a adamant, huge power, aquajet and bellydrum, 4iv (Likely not perfect, just according to the one iv judge.) marill. Woo. It's great because I suck at breeding.

So far, scrapping together Pokemon from that subreddit is working.

[BuriBuriZaemon]

Call me old school but I take more pleasure playing on wifi. :p

/r/Pokemongiveaway is great.

I shall try this.

On a sidenote, from a giveaway 5IV Marvel Scale Dratini I got only an hour earlier, I hatched a 6IV one. If only it had Mixed Sweeper nature, Thunderbolt would be a good coverage move.

[Tsuchigumo550]

I'm going to eventually attempt to build my team.

Scrafty has too good of a momentum movepool for me to give up. I've swept OU three times now by dragon-dancing first turn, then mixing Drain Punch and Dual Chop, along with a different move that varied each time. The fourth time, it was toxic-ed after the first turn and managed to off half of the enemy team before succumbing.

It's a fantastic steel and dragon counter.

[umiman]

How does it counter dragons?

[Reudh]

Speed, attack, and I'm pretty sure it can learn Ice Punch.

[umiman]

Literally every single fully evolved dragon in the game is faster than Scrafty. Even Goodra is, and Goodra is pretty slow as it is. 58 base speed.

It does get ice punch, but it's a tutor move and thus can't get it in XY. Even ignoring the somewhat meh 90 attack stat and the fact that it isn't a STAB move.

I guess if it has like... 3x stacks of moxie it can probably OHKO dragons with its moveset, but that's kind of a silly point. That's like saying Magikarp is the best as with belly drum it can OHKO Dialga.

After setting up, of course. It's got okay defense, and few dragons that aren't Hydreigon tend to carry fighting moves to deal with it. You'd be surprised how fun it is to use.
