December couldn't come soon enough...

The flood of Gen 2-5 starters makes me giddy.

cant get 6 IV mawile. stuck at 5 D:

 

[hhs]

Excited for other starters too. Hope they release mega stones for them alongside the bank as an event.

In other news, swept 5 matches this morning with the G-train (Gyarados). No brakes. I opened with Meowstic like usual and reflected, safeguarded and thunderwaved a few dudes. Most people still don't see meowstic very much and underestimate it. So they lose their sweepers and all the Rotoms, Chandeleurs, Klefkis are rendered useless to safeguard. Sweepers paralyzed and reflected.

Then Gdos comes out with the two walls and a perfectly safe Dragon Dance opening. If they have electric I go mega and shake it off. If not I might wait to reduce fighting and fairy move effectiveness. After a single dance I can basically sweep most teams. If I'm feeling super safe I can go for two and OHKO even defensive things like Quagsire and Rotom. I'll often fill the last slot as a counter pick to their team. It'll be either PowerHerbVolcarona/HelmetRestBronzong/LOGarchomp/FSTtar. All morning I didn't need to call on any of them.

Honestly I doubt anyone would be THAT lucky

still doesn't harm ask. and even when you're right, I read that you have a higher chance of shinys on friend safari and with a modest synchonizer as leader of your party the odds raises quite a bit to be fairly possible .
and after saying all that I still have very bad luck as shiny hunter, the very first shiny I caught is a pokemon I don't even like and masuda hates me. but I'll be doing masuda method until I get my precious shiny sparkly Goomy .

Congrats.
What set are you planning to use?

maybe the typical set. taunt, sucker punch, play rough and iron head
im not a competitive battler so i actually have no idea what sets are good.

I've been in this Friend Safari for roughly 5 hours. Where is my shiny Abra ;^;

 

[Chary]

Went to chain with the Pokeradar. On the first chain was a shiny Pancham.
Also got a shiny Shelgon from friend safari, as well as a shiny Skunky. That officially brings my shiny count to the big 20.

Probably a noob question but what is the point of getting perfect IVs and specific natures?

I'm guessing the desire for female pokemon is because the female determines the species.

IV's and natures control stats.

Ok So far I have 3 shinies:
Drowzee (ugh I hate this)
Maractus (Didn't even know this was a real pokemon, lol)
Helioptile (Awesome!!)

Currently I'm going for my 4th a shiny eevee for my eevee competitive team

 

[Sonia]

How does one share battle videos? I forgot. XD

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out.

 

[max_6186]

Someone have fairy safari with Spritzee?

 

[FireGrey]

Does anyone have a dragonair safari?
I have a Wartortle safari.

 

[Arras]

Man, radar chaining is not really working for me. I keep randomly losing my chain at around 15.

 

[icedragon258]

please if someone has dragon safari with shellgons trade FC with me i need one and if you have a moxie naive bagon please trade one to me i can offer some good things

 

[Deadvolt]

I'm feeling a bit discouraged seeing Japan has already released at minimum three WonderCard wifi-event pokemon :/
What the hell man?!?

 

[Arras]

Okay, I finally got a 40 chain. After that I spent 40 Super Repels running around spamming the Radar. Not a single shiny patch
