Sad I missed it this week, I'm always stuck working on Saturdays. Hope everyone had fun, and also glad to see the video where I made finals up!

Had a total blast this week. Made it to finals, but lost to DaisukeLight, who played fantastically. Earlier Rounds: EE6G-WWWW-WWXM-CHAS - Round 1 vs. Xeniera 9GJG-WWWW-WWXM-CH9E - Round 2 vs. The-Magic-Sword WMTG-WWWW-WWXM-CH7P - Round 3 vs. Daisuke (My loss, nooo) LXUW-WWWW-WWXM-CH6Y - Round...

I had fun, sad I had to drop partway through. Totally going to try to join next week.

I know, but it's worth filling in additional details. This is a case of trade offs, and losing a speed advantage is in some cases a bigger deal than losing some defense. Figuring out your HP on your own will let you make those decisions. You are absolutely correct, I just wanted to elaborate on...

A small correction for those on HP breeding. You can get HP ICE with perfect speed. Just your spread needs to be a bit different. Odd/Even/Even/Odd/Odd/Odd will give you hp ice. Taken from x-acts breeding guide (Old, but the formulas have not changed): So, using the chart...

It does not, it only gives BP currency. Thanks for the correction, I get those two mixed up all the time.

Battle Maison as stated by dragonhide, also restaurant le wow is good too. Being able to just toss something in your party with exp share on while you ev train helps greatly as well. One of the details is for poketransfer is that soul dew, the gems, etc. will not be transferrable. So we can...

I need some extra time to setup Gyro Ball, I'll update this post when I have details. Can confirm that Shadow claw and Flash cannon are NOT egg moves. Confirming Gyro ball from Cordyceps below me, evil sleep tempting me instead of updating research.

That is correct. See http://www.serebii.net/xy/items.shtml for a list of the item locations so far. Unfound ones arn't listed, but that only means we don't know where yet, they may be obtainable in some way.

It does nothing to stop torment that turn. Torment does not stop a move that has already been chosen, it only stops you from choosing that move for the round. If you have no choice in choosing it (like with choice items), you use struggle that turn.

Do any of the new dragons pick up Earth Power? I'd love to be able to breed it over to hydreigon before pokebank comes out. Hoping it's not some bs like extremespeed dragonite.

The moveset is pretty much your standard offensive gyrados, so no problems there. I'd suggest sacrificing some attack for HP, just because you want to be more bulky, the offensive boosts you get from blaziken or a DD will make up for the slight loss in attack, and you can't KO significantly more...

Wobb was banned because of how horribly dull Wobb vs Wobb battles were, threatening to always tie. Shadowtag vs Shadowtag being allowed to switch fixes that. Also give the meta some time, right now, it's very new. Also, for Mega Gengar in particular, it does not prevent switching that first...

Centralization is when you have to consider a single pokemon very heavily on every team you build, so much so you have to carry 3~4 counters just to take it down. This was the case with Garchomp, and also Blaziken and Exadrill, and most swift swim pokemon at later times. The thing is, the OU...

I wondertraded a spitback magicarp from my latest breeding project named "Pidgey Bait" for a pidgey... it made my night. I have a weird suspicion that wondertrade is going to turn into a breeders pokemon exchange as time goes on.

Pokémon that have attained abilities learned from move tutors in previous games, not the actual npcs obviously. We've been able to do it every gen starting with gen III, no reason for nintendo to change it now. Items, HM moves, and the spiky eared pichu will probably be the only restrictions...

Not yet, we'll probably see them when the "Pokemon Z" or whatever it's called comes around. Probably in this generation, but not in the current games. If you want elemental punch tutors, you'll have to transfer from previous games.

It's absent in infrared I believe.

Since it's flat battle, and because of team preview, you can choose the half that should win. Naturally, if you end up against another person who's using a half team , it's trouble. vs sandstorm you'd use Rain or your own sandstorm (if it's Hail / Sand). Against rain you go sun (yay for grass...

If it wern't for team preview, far more pokemon would be broken. Garchomp, Salamence, Latios, Latias and even Wobbafet were all banned in gen IV. Most of these are powerful sweepers, and the last is a trapper. By knowing what's coming you can say "It's more important I save my counter to X"...
