Pokémon Thread XXI: Playground Plays Pokémon!

IMPORTANT: Remember to update your copy of X/Y to the most recent version, as explained here (http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1061).

These are friend codes (May be out of date/incomplete: If they are, please PM me with your codes and I'll fix them). For your friends. If you're not on here? It means you're not friendly. Or that for whatever reason your codes didn't get put here. If you're not here, just mention it whenever you can (poke me with a PM if I don't get you up in a couple of days, the thread moves fast and I don't like thread-digging much). Additions in the thread will be added to the end of the respective list, and then will (if I remember) be re-alphabetized... later.

Friend codes, for the uninitiated, are how you connect with other players. The DS (and thus Gen IV & V games) uses a different Friend Code for each game you have, while the 3DS uses one Friend Code for the system.

Note about DS Connectivity: All remaining online services for Nintendo DS cards (including all Gen IV and V Pokémon software, but not including DSiWare) will be taken down on May 20th. See this notice from Nintendo for details. (http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/info/services-update.jsp) At that time, the DS Friend Code table will be taken down here as well, since it will no longer serve any function.

So, you're tired of navigating a Pokemon thread where everyone uses fancy words and stuff? Well no worries! Here's a guide on... BREEDING FOR DUMMIES!

One of the first things to remember in breeding is that there are Natures that help and ones that hinder. For instance, a Special Attacker such as Mewtwo would be hindered by an Adamant nature, but helped in his stat growth by a Modest nature. To improve your chances for getting a particular Nature in a child Pokémon, use at least one parent with the Nature you want, and give it the Everstone. In Gen IV, the Everstone doesn't guarantee the inherited Nature, though it does in Gen V and VI.

Brilliant Spreadsheet for Growth (http://pokemon.marriland.com/statcalc_dp.php).

Some IVs (don't know what an IV is? Check the next spoiler box!) are randomly inherited from the parents. You can lock in a maximum of one IV by giving a parent the corresponding Power training item (Power Bracer for Attack, Power Lens for Special Attack, and so forth), or (starting with XY) randomly inherit 5 (instead of the normal 3) by holding the Destiny Knot. Use Flat Battles to determine the IVs of a hatched Pokémon, or if you only care about the highest IV and the sum of all of its IVs, you can take it to a guy who's in the lobby of either the Battle Tower or the Battle Subway in the DS games, depending on the generation, and in the Kiloude City Pokémon Center in XY. You're looking for them to judge it Relatively Superior overall and Can't Be Better in its best stat. The XY judge will also tell you about any really bad IVs the Pokémon has.

The third main thing with breeding is Egg Moves. Egg moves are moves the parent has, and passes down to a child. For instance, in my breeding of Chimchar, the egg moves are Grass Knot and Swords Dance, which are passed down to the child who gets said moves from the start. In order to pass on most Egg Moves, the father must know the move (Genderless Pokémon never learn Egg Moves). These include all of the moves that are listed as the child Pokémon's Egg Moves in a move list chart, as well as any compatible TMs or HMs. You can also pass on moves that the child would learn by level-up that aren't in those two lists--for these, both parents must know the move. In XY, some moves can be inherited from the mother...

The fourth and final thing to keep in mind are Hidden Abilities. Starting in Generation V, most Pokémon were assigned an additional ability that they could only get if you caught them under certain circumstances (the special Darmanitan in Desert Resort, or Pokémon found in hidden grottoes, the Dream World, or some in Friend Safaris). Some Hidden Abilities are highly sought-after, like Dragonite's Multiscale. If the mother has the Hidden Ability, the children will inherit it. The father can occasionally pass down the Hidden Ability if bred with a Ditto.

Dr. Strangemon or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Min-Max
Don't feel the need to bother with this stuff unless you're playing against humans or at one of those "Battle Whatever" places. You shouldn't need it for most of the game, and it can be kind of a pain.

First, the equations. These are how the game calculates the Pokémon's final stats.
HP = (IV + 2*Base + EV/4) * Level/100 + 10
Others = ((IV + 2*Base + EV/4) * Level/100 + 5) * Nature
So, at level 100, 1 IV or 4 EV raises a Pokémon's stat by 1 while a 1 point difference in Base stat is worth 2.

Nature
Most natures raise one stat and lower another, while some don't change any stats. A raised stat has a multiplier of 1.1 (or +10%), a lowered stat has a multiplier of 0.9 (or -10%), and a neutral stat has a multiplier of 1.0.

Base Stats (Base)
With a new generation just out, there's a lot of talk about finding out about a Pokémon's base stats. What are these, some of you ask? Well, they're modifiers to stats that a Pokémon gains just by being that kind of Pokémon. A (normal) Tyranitar has a base Attack of 135, a Mewtwo has 154 base Special Attack, and so on. When a Pokémon's stats change as it Mega Evolves or changes Form, it does so by changing the set of base stats it looks at. Otherwise, these base stats can't be changed (hence the "base"). At level 100, a Pokémon gets twice its Base stat to its final stats.

Individual Values (IV)
In addition to base stats, every Pokémon gets a bonus of 0-31 points applied to each stat. So a level 100 Tyranitar could have an attack stat of 273, or it could have a attack of 304. That bonus is the IV.
A Pokémon has its IVs generated the moment you meet it, or accept its egg, and there's no way to change them. You're stuck with what you've got. However, you can influence them a little, if you're willing to breed. Bred Pokémon don't randomly generate all their IVs, they inherit up to 3 from their parents. In XY, giving a parent the Destiny Knot causes them to inherit five random IVs instead. There's a few other ways of influencing IVs in bred Pokémon, which are explained in the breeding section.
In addition, in XY, some Pokémon are guaranteed to have some "perfect" (31) IVs. Pokémon found in the Friend Safari will have two random perfect IVs, while Pokémon that can't breed will have 3.

Effort Values (EV)
Every time you win a fight, your Pokémon get experience, but that's not all they get. Every Pokémon also gives out effort points. For every 4 effort points in a particular stat, your Pokémon gains 1 point in it. So if that Tyranitar from earlier with 304 attack had 4 attack EVs, his actual attack would be 305. If he had 252 attack EVs, it'd be 367. Sounds handy, but there are limits. You can't have more than 255 points in a single stat, and you can't have more than 510 EVs in total.

You'll see a lot of Pokémon with 252 attack/special attack EVs, 252 speed, and 4 HP, but there are a lot of ways to configure them. Defensive Pokémon will obviously focus on different things, Pokémon which use both physical and special attacks will need to split EVs between them or possibly sacrifice speed, and so on.

It's a tremendous pain to work out what EVs your Pokémon has (if you weren't keeping track, anyway), so you'll likely want to start with a Pokémon that you freshly hatched and work from there, though you don't have to. There are 6 berries that reduce EVs in a single stat each, so you can use those to reset your Pokémon and start from scratch. After that, just keep a careful record of what you fight, and only take down Pokémon that you know give you the EVs you want.

EV training takes a while, but there are a few ways you can speed it up. The first is an astonishingly rare status condition called Pokérus. Any Pokémon with Pokérus gets double EVs from fights, and will spread the Pokérus to any Pokémon in your party for the first 72 hours after it catches it. After those 72 hours it stops being contagious, but still gets double EVs. Pokérus has something like 1/20000 chance to appear on wild Pokemon, but with the magic of the internet I'm sure you can obtain it.

The second way to speed up EV training is through Power Items. If a Pokémon is holding the right item, they get bonus EVs from every fight. For example, a Pokémon holding a Power Lens will get 4 special attack EVs. A Pokémon holding a Power Anklet will get 4 speed EVs. A Pokémon holding a Macho Brace will just get double the EVs of whatever they're fighting. These bonuses are doubled if you have Pokérus.

The third way to speed up EVs is through vitamins. Each vitamin given to a Pokémon gives them +10 EVs in a certain stat, up to a limit of 100. 1 protein gives 10 attack EVs, 10 give 100. These unfortunately aren't doubled by Pokérus or items, so you'll have to pay for the full amount. Luckily money is easy to come by in these games.

Just as an example, I'll show how I EV'd my Gengar.
First, I gave him 10 calcium, and 10 carbos, so 100 special attack and 100 speed already.
After that, I gave him Pokérus and a lucky egg, got him to meet a Floatzel (2 speed EVs, doubled to 4 because of Pokérus), and then sent out my Weezing to explode on it so Gengar could get all the experience, for a higher level and 100 special attack, 104 speed.
After that, I gave him a Power Lens, flew over to the Old Chateau, and killed 15 Gastly (1 special attack from Gastly, 4 from the lens, doubled to 10 from Pokérus) for 150 special attack EVs, bringing my total to 250 special attack, 104 speed.
After that I equipped a power anklet and killed one more Gastly (1 special attack from Gastly, 4 speed from the anklet, doubled to 2 and 8 from Pokérus), meaning Gengar had 252 attack, and 112 speed.
Leaving the anklet equipped, I flew to Route 201, and killed 14 Starly (1 speed from Starly, 4 from the anklet, meaning 10 speed per starly thanks to Pokérus), for a total of 252 attack, 252 speed.
All that was left after that was to kill a Bidoof with a Power Weight (1 HP from Bidoof, 4 from the Weight, 10 thanks to Pokerus, although I only gained 6 points because I hit the EV cap), leaving my Gengar with 252 special attack EVs, 252 Speed, and 4 HP, just how I wanted him.
Roughly an hour's work, and one Pokemon down.

In XY, there's an additional method of EV training, which doesn't involve beating up wild Pokémon, but you instead play minigames (called Super Training) with the Pokémon. This lets you choose which stat you'll train, and awards you 4 EVs per difficulty level (so +4 for level 1, +12 for level 3). In addition, you may gain special training bags that can make further Super Training easier, reset your EVs entirely, or other effects. The training system also displays your earned EVs graphically (but not numerically), making it somewhat easier to keep track of a Pokémon's EVs.
tl;dr: The simplified version of EVs/IVs - EVs are gained by fighting other Pokémon. They vary by the Pokémon defeated. They increase your stats for every 4 gained. IVs are inherent to a Pokémon. They increase stats for every point possessed, and range from 0 to 31. EVs have to be manually tracked or else removed entirely with certain berries. IVs can be checked by knowing the EVs of a Pokémon and then plugging its stats into an IV calculator. The higher the Pokémon's level, the more accurate; level 100 wifi battles provide maximum accuracy.

Now, you might ask, "Mando Knight, how do you get those accented e's?" On a PC, change your keyboard layout to US-International, and press 'e. For some versions of Windows, if you don't want the US-International keyboard on all the time, you can also have it switch between different registered keyboards with a press of Ctrl+Shift. You can also copy-paste them from someone else's posts. Or the thread title.

Not sure if you were planning to update this for Gen XY, but I can throw my hat in the ring for this. I've completed the National Dex and could help people in this regard for XY.

Actually, might as well add me. I may not have completed the NAtional Dex yet, but I'm willing to breed just about anything.

I've completed the national dex (except Meloetta) and can breed five-IV Pokémon without much trouble. Impossible Pokémon are, unfortunately, beyond me.

By impossible, do we mean hacked or event-only? I can help with the latter, but not with the former.

None right this moment. Usually both parents are from my own cart, so no Masuda. And I only got the Shiny Charm a few hundred eggs ago. But still.

If true, that would make it largely useless, since you pretty much never go hunting for wild pokemon after completing the Dex.

I've gotten shinies from Wonder Trade... quite a lot of them.

But then again I spend about half of my playtime Wonder Trading.

You also get a decent influx of foreign pokemons which help if you are trying to do Masuda's method.

I found out about shinies and my first shiny pokemon in Sapphire; shiny Spheal, my best friend got his first shiny a few days after when trying to replicate my finding, a shiny snorunt; we traded them for no logical reason to each other.

He stopped playing cartridge games on Diamond and now plays exclusively on Showdown but I still have his now Froslass in my Y.

I was going off what I'd heard from Smogon, in fact. I believe their experimentation so far strongly indicated it. And, if I recall, it was confirmed in gen 5. I see no reason to believe it's changed since then, especially when backed up by Smogon's testing so far.

Strong indication is still not empirical clarification though. And we're all scratching our heads over why the english translation seemed to indicate it no longer worked on breeding.

Hey, Elm11, I've bred a nice Litwick for you, and replaced mine with your's' immediate mother. Better to have Defence than Attack for that one, I figure. (5 IVs, lowest is Attack for both, yours'll have Flame Body)

I've also (very) temporarily put my gym team on hold and stripped my team down to a Tropius and an Ivysaur to go spelunking for Arons with a taste for Metallica. Because I tried with a full team and spent twenty minutes trying to trick a single horde into letting my worry seeder stay out for more than a turn. :smallannoyed: Oh sure, all five of them used Roar, and it bounced me between everything BUT Ivysaur. Rassum frassum.

Anyway, I'll be online for another half-hour as of now, if Elm shows up or anyone wants anything.

Hiya! And wow, thanks! Unfortunately, the uni week may make it super difficult for me to get that off you. But, uhh, that's probably a good thing. I have a -lot- of work to do this week, and I probably don't want nice new pokemon around to distract me. With this in mind, I'll probably grab it off of you on the weekend, if that's alright :smalltongue:

And offering my spare quick feet, bullet seed shroomishes to anyone that wants one. (They come in a Nest ball)

2014-03-10, 10:25 AM

Today's breeding yielded me a number of Tropius of varying IVs and abilities [though about half have Harvest]. A good number have Leech Seed as egg moves as well [about halfway into breeding I realized that bulbapedia lied to me about it no longer being an egg move]. If anyone wants one, I'll see about setting a decent one aside for ya. The only 5IV one I got is the one I am keeping, but I have plenty of 3 and 4s.

I would love a Harvest Tropius - I've seen a few on the GTS, but they're always asking for Legendaries, and there's no guarantee that they're not lying. Would you like to take a 5IV Gastly or Shroomish off of my hands for it? I'd be willing to take a 0IV, dammit. I want the Ability.

Actually, it's kind of funny how many people claim that their Pokémon is shiny on the GTS: don't they know that you can see if it is or not in the preview?

EDIT: Someone was collecting 6IVs, right? Because I've got a 6IV Nidoran (female) that I'm more than willing to give away.... because it has Poison Point.

Is it known already how does the deerling/sawsbuck season coating work in XY?

As far as I know, only the Spring appearance is available in XY and the only way to get the summer/autumn/winter appearances is by importing a deerling/sawsbuck from B/W or B2/W2 with those appearances and breed since the appearance is static and stays the same as the parent(s).

I think it functions the same way as the two different appearance shellos (blue and pink) in that way.

--
Sidenote: I was so disappointed when I noticed that XY had changed away from using changing seasons which was introduced in BWB2W2, since I had looked forward to see how they would display it in 3D... =/

I really hope they bring it back in the next game. ^^
--

Further good news(for me): While delving into egg moves I would want for deerling I found that the only ones I had any interest in I can get from Leafeon (Synthesis, Grass Whistle, Baton Pass) and Jolteon (Agility and also Baton Pass).
Makes things less of a hassle getting them. :D

Shroomish works for me, I just need to organize real quick as my tropius box is a huge mess right now. I'll be on and off through the day, but its the girlfriend's birthday, so probably not guaranteed to be on till late evening/night East Coast US time.

And yeah, the idea of getting a Tropius was originally just to fill dex, then I realized the one I got from GTS had Harvest already, and from there...the rest is history.

When I find a suitable one, any special nickname you want? If you just want it for breeding purposes, I'll just name it after its IVs.

EDIT: Only have 2 4IV females, both have same 31s - Hp, Attack, Defense, and Special Attack. If you want I can dig through my males as well, but I'm pretty sure my only 5IV from the entire breeding session is the one I am keeping for myself.

Also huh, just realized that one of them doesn't have leech seed and the other has a completely random nature - probably a leftover from when I switched over to a full defensive plan on learning leech seed was still an egg move.

If you prefer, later on I can do a little breeding to see if I can get you a nice 5IV with nature of your desire, the one I have for personal use is a female so should not be too hard.

I got a piece of Cardboard, and a tower to circle around.

Hmm. Well thats an interesting piece of news. Still I want to take it one step at a time. This is already kinda overwhelming:

Breed Perfect IVs, then shove em in Daycare, leave for 9 hours, use Pokemiles for extra leveling through rare candies, use Heart scales (Through Pokemiles) to gain the moves I wanted, then EV train, then use pokemon Amie to increase max friend-happyness thing.

Thats quite alot of stuff I gotta do.

I usually EV train first, this gen it is very easy:

Step 1: get pokerus by basically just having one guy with active pokerus in party and running away a lot.
Step 2: activate exp share and put choice item you desire the + stat in on
Step 3: get your combee out and spam sweet scent to get hordes, as they give you 50+EV points per battle. I still use this old reddit post (http://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/1ounim/list_of_horde_encounters_and_ev_values_useful_for/) to judge where I want to go.

For levelling, the Battle Chateau is right next to the breeding place. Once you get high enough rank, you can basically get something from level 1 to 40 in an hour. Just do this part AFTER EV training.

Might be quicker for ya.

Freeze-Dry works off of Mamoswine's Sp. Atk, so perhaps not the best idea. Icicle Spear would be interesting; it'd make you an effective substitute-breaker.

I've heard of people using it, though I personally don't think it'd be all that useful. Though I have heard of Weakness Policy sets using it to deal with Rotom-W. So I figured it might at least make my Swinubs more valuable in a trade.

I'll certainly pop Icicle Spear on them, though. And maybe transfer up a Sneasel from Pearl to breed Avalanche onto them, too.

Was there anything in particular you're looking for in trade?

Sure. What do you want for the Swinub?

I'm not looking for anything in particular right now. What do the both of you have for breeding leftovers? I'm sure you'll have something that'll be fine.

I'd be interested in a Nidoran♂. Is it be bred to be a special attacker with Sheer Force?

I only have the one 'perfect' one for my own use, but I do have quite a number of 4IV Hustle Nidorans of both genders. The best of the crop that's left is a 5IV male missing Defense (they're all Timid). I could also offer you a 5IV (missing Atk) Nidoran female with Hustle, if you'd prefer that.

Gullara

2014-03-10, 05:09 PM

Hm...
*looks up how Nidoran breeding works again*
Ah yes. The Nidoran♀ missing attack that you mentioned would be fantastic. It'll be perfect for breeding my own batch of Nidorans of either gender.

I have a 4IV Swinub all lined up for you (I lucked out). I'm online right now if you're ready.

I also have Defog Scyther (yay transferring all the way up!), but I can let Kuulvheysoon get this one unless you're in a hurry.

On another note, I wonder if I should go for an Assault Vest Mamoswine and give it Avalanche. It'd hit a lot harder than Icicle Crash when coupled with decent prediction. Though Mamoswine doesn't have the best typing for taking hits.

I wouldn't say no to one, just because of the ball. I can combine with my Gastly breeding stock to give my Gastlys a little something extra. You need anything?

Don't know what else you got in storage, but if your gastlys got any egg moves/transfer only moves I would take a male one in return. :)

Well, I'd like one.

To repeat, since it was at the very end of last thread, can anyone provide a Fast Ball female Electabuzz? Going to breed them. You can have one of the results, plus anything I've previously bred (or a random request that I might have recently transferred, or a Mystery Egg).

Sure, I'll put one down for you as well and I do got a female electabuzz in a fast ball I moved over from my SS game. I can breed one of those for you too. :)

Btw, it might be a few days still before I start breeding the gastly, still busy breeding squirtles atm. Terrible hard to get the right spread of IVs for it; RNG hates me so much. :x

I have a few meditite with psycho cut, fake out, bullet punch and drain punch, besides the stuff in my sig. They're adamant, but I can whip a jolly one in no time.

I'll make a point of breeding up a spare for you. I think I still need to make some Lunatones, too. Just about finished with Porygon, but I think Forretress will come next. I really need to get my team finished.

If you're helping with Porygon, the least I can do is breed you a good parent for your Bug team. Need anything in particular?

Elhann

Same here.
I see you have most the bugs one may want, but I have some decent pinsirs, I could breed them up and save one for you.

Quietus

2014-03-12, 09:40 AM

Not really needing anything specific right now. Forretress is next on my list, and that'll make six; I may go for a Pinsir if we aim for a larger pool of pokemon in the gyms, but I can't justify both that and Heracross in my six choices. Neither has a moveset that would work without their mega evolutions, so they're pretty mutually exclusive.

::Edit:: Porygon is done, by the way. Starting Forretress now.

I'd be interested. A 6 IV ditto is probably hacked - since they're not breedable, the odds of one are (1/32)^6 - , though.

Kuroten, I think we traded one of my snorunts for a speed boost whirlipede. So, unless you've thrown away one of my babies (how could you! :smalltongue: ), you should have her somewhere. I have two more female moody snorunts, so if that's what you want...

Pokéradar chaining seems to be the best way to get a a 6IV/high IV ditto, if you're good at that (personally I suck at chaining with that thing XD). This guide explains it better. (http://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/1shpw4/guide_how_to_reliably_catch_3iv_dittos_in_gen_vi/)

I just might be interested. Breeding genderless pokemon is just too much of a drag without a good Ditto around, and the best I have have 3IVs.

If it was hacked and made it through Pokébank, the game doesn't know it's hacked. Anyway, I think babies are generated independently and shouldn't show up as hacked.

Kuroten, I can confirm you that I have Three female 4 IV swift swim poliwag. All three lack attack, one lacks also defense, other lacks HP and the last one lacks speed. Which one do you prefer for the ghastly?

Quietus, if you happen to have one with the hidden ability I'd prefer that. Nature doesn't matter, I'm planning to breed three tyrogues, one to grow as a -chan, one as a -lee and one as a -top. Please remind me what did you want for it?

I lucked out big time today. I am starting to better organize my breeding and get good sets of parents so I can more reliably produce 5IVs. For god knows what reason I decided to start with Snorlax. This involved getting him more egg moves (Pursuit and Whirlwind to go with the Curse I already had).

I was certain it was going to take forever due to Snorlax being mostly male, but when I'd started breeding for IVs, the first Snorlax I hatched was a perfect 5IV female! Right ability, too. :smallbiggrin:

No prob. I still have 6IV Dittos for Kuroten, Kuulv, Zelt, and JustPlay if any of you can get on.

I'm busy tonight and probably a good chunk of tomorrow inventorying, inspecting, and cleaning the antique firearms I inherited today. I'll try to be on for a while tomorrow. I have Spheal, Ralts, Gastly, Fletchling, Rhyhorn, and Goomy in my breeding extras. I think that's really it now. Anything strike your fancy? I could probably breed up a special request as well. My breeding stock boxes are getting fairly diverse.

@Kuroten: Was that you that just sent me a trade request? Before I finished my battle I lost internet. The wifi here is iffy sometimes.

Nope wasn't me. I got distracted and didn't make it online at all late last night. :x

I'll try to catch you (and everyone else) sometime today.

Kuroten, I can confirm you that I have Three female 4 IV swift swim poliwag. All three lack attack, one lacks also defense, other lacks HP and the last one lacks speed. Which one do you prefer for the ghastly?

The important factor to me is that it's female and got swift swim, other than that; surprise me! :D

While I was breeding a Chimchar for Kuroten, I managed to hatch a Shiny Chimchar. For the record, it is pink.

Lucky! Congratulations! :D

That's the second or third time someone gets a shiny after I asked to get a certain pokemon from them. XD

I don't have a hidden ability one, but if anyone here has access to one with that ability then I would gladly breed that up. Or a friend safari that has Tyrogues...

I got access to a Tyrogue safari. Want me to catch you a HA one? :)

Is the 6 IV Ditto still available?

Also, I just got a shiny Squirtle over Wondertrade o3o

That'd be fantastic, can you send me that in place of the Gastly for Carbink? I'll be on tonight to trade, around 10-12 PM (GMT-5). I was able to pick up some Black Sludge off of a Croagunk, so I don't need to worry about that any more.

Sure, no problem. ^^

Edit: Oh! If you got an extra Pineco, I can give you both :)

Sure to those who want a Ditto. I should be on some time this evening.

Believe I have a few - they're relaxed nature, 5 IVs, missing speed.

Rez, if you can clone me a copy of that ditto, I'll give you a male shinx with 3 IVs and fire, ice, and thunder fang as egg moves. And its Japanese, so you can use it to Masuda if you want.

Sure, that would work.

With the new EXP Share being a key item, do Pokémon holding the Macho Brace or Power items get doubled/quadrupled EVs even if they don't appear in battle?

Elhann

Yes, they do. Well, not cuadrupled with a power item. you get +4 EVs to the relevant stat besides whatever EVs the pokemon you defeat gives.

Which makes EV-training a matter of minutes even without pokerus. Sweet scent to summon a horde, a "hit-everything" move such as surf, and there you go, 25 of the desired EVs each time (50 with pokerus)

Good hordes:
HP: Zoobat roost (whishmur)
Att: Route 14 (the swampy route between not-Paris and Fairy Gym town) has bellsprout
Defense: Route 18 (where you can fight the inverse battles) has geodude and durant (durant give 2 def EV)
SpAtt: Frost cavern has vanillite and smoochum
SpDef: Route 7 (daycare route) has hoppip
Speed: Route 8 has tailow and wingull

Oh, right. I remembered a 4, but I thought it was x4, not +4. My bad.

I've been trying to get Lickitung in Victory Road for 2HP each but I keep running into Floatzel instead. And I'm sure when I come back with the other ones who need speed EVs all I'll run into will be Lickitung.

Lickitung hordes are one of the scariest things I've seen.

It reminds me of visiting our dogs.
