Wondertrade is seriously the best thing to happen to the series in years. You really can get anything there. The GTS is just a cesspool of pure greed.

I've gotten some good stuff from the GTS, but only by offering a pokemon and asking for what I want in return. Trying to browse the stuff for trade is crazy if you don't want to trade a legendary for an eevee.


Also, Sun Team Update:

So far I've got ninetails (for drought support), a solarpowered charizard Y (abusing solar power while sun is out, and mega-evolving if he needs to bring it out himself), a chlorophyll venusaur, a rapid spinning mold breaker excadrill, and a sitris berry holding harvest Trevenant. The last slot is one I'm debating on. The idea behind a sun team seems pretty offensive based, so I could add in a dragonite for further power, or a greninja for U-Turn, spikes (which treverant can spinblock), and ice beam for dragons, or a rotom-W to help handle gyrados and talonflame.
 
If you're running a sun team, you'd probably really hate for a rain inducer to come in and ruin your day, so I suggest a Pokemon capable of punching holes in opposing rain teams. To that end, Rotom-W seems like the best bet.
 
Poe gave me a Protean Froakie, which I anticipate will do lots of damage to lots of unfortunate enemies. Poe rocks. :D

Huh, also got a Charmander with Dragon Dance over Wonder Trade. I'll take it!
 
My pokemon breeding puppy mill is now in full operation. I have several dittos with at least 3 perfect IV's each (and one with 4!) as well as a ditto of EVERY nature.

Every last one caught by me, because goddamn people want crazy shit for dittos on the GTS.

I really don't want to admit just how long this took.

Adamant, one of the most popular natures, seemed to be the rarest to get, the RNG gods just were not kind to me. I ended up using an adamant Mr Mime to breed an adamant Abra with synchronize, and used it to catch an adamant ditto.
 
And you know most of the Ditto on GTS are the Pokemon Village ones.
Oh, of course they are. Greedy bastards. But it's ok, I have a friend code from a random guy on a webforum I never visit!


So, I have good news and bad news, twice.

Good news! I just managed to accidentally breed my first ever 6 perfect IV pokemon! Bad news, it's a rotom, which can only breed with dittos. So I can't use it in my puppy mill.

Good news! I found my first shiny EVER! (and yet I've contracted pokerus twice!)

Bad news, it was a shiny zangoose in a horde of serviper.

The snakes killed it before I could kill the snakes :(

Dude, that's not easy. That's a perfect competitive Pokemon, and a very versatile one at that. Hell, I've got two 5IV Larvitars pumping out eggs constantly, and I've yet to get a perfect. A 5IV shiny, yes, but not perfect.

I've actually bred two perfects, myself - an Adamant Marill and a Jolly Gible...not exactly ones that can take full advantage of that.

Jolly Garchomp could surely see some use?
Oh, they're both going into my competitive team, it's just that neither can really function as a mixed attacker. I do believe I'll just have to wait for Pokebank and port over my perfect IV Jolly Larvitar then.

Oh, I'm not going to look a perfect IV pokemon in the mouth, but it would still be nice if it was one that could breed and spread that genetic wealth around. I don't seem to have much trouble creating 5IV pokemon with my ditto mill. I've managed a 5IV Venusaur, Charizard, and Blaziken so far, and haven't been bothered to take the time to make more.

Everyone keeps telling me that weather teams are dead this generation. To that, I say ha! I'll show them!

(no, I probably won't, but I'll try)

I've been pushing out Larvitar, Gible, and just started an Axew project. I really want raw power for an offensive team.
 
Once my sun team is ready to go, my next goal is six level 100 zigzagoons. I'm not even going to let them evolve, they will remain zigzagoons.


And then I will go pickup fishing for leftovers (and other items)

Wow. Twenty minutes into the Axew project, I got the spread, nature, and ability I wanted. Nice.

I'm pretty sure you know this, but I've been surprised by how many people don't, so I'll just make sure.

You can use O-powers on yourself.
 
Oh god, just got a Drought Vulpix on Wonder Trade.

I feel like I'm using up all my karma on Wonder Trade. I keep sending out crap Pokemon while getting awesome stuff in return.

Breeders dump their spitbacks on Wondertrade because it's just less of a loss than releasing them. Nowadays, it's not unheard of to empty a box of 3/4IV Pokes on Wondertrade. I've done it multiple times, even throwing out flawed 5IV dudes.

It seems the best time to hit it is weekday nights. Lots of kiddies are on in the day and the weekends, throwing out piles of route 2 stuff. I don't begrudge them, but I kinda want a chance at getting a couple back that could jump start a breeding project of my own.
 
Also, more people need to add me back in their friend list. :p

So far I've got Poe as a friend, and I've also added Zero Esc, Gusto, Dei, Far, Bert, Ashburner, and Zappit. :D

You could have asked me for one. :awesome:


BREED ALL THE POKES![DOUBLEPOST=1386653844,1386653793][/DOUBLEPOST]

I would release more of my breeding rejects on wonder trade if it was faster than throwing them one at a time an waiting for the trade. There needs to be like a grab bag to toss them into.
 
I don't know whether to be happy or so sad that I no longer understand anything you guys are talking about.
 
I've been doing the restaurant battles to level pokemon and earn gold (so much gold) but I swear they're built to troll you as hard as they can.

I've been doing the rotation battles, and the gimmick is to win the most money, you have to win on a specific turn, usually turn six (these are 3v3 battles). So to get the best score, the killing blow has to be delivered on turn 6. Easy, right?

BUT EVERY ENEMY POKEMON HAS PROTECT :rage:

Sorry, I haven't played much since the beginning of November. Will add you over the next few days.
 
I need to find my 3DS, then I will add you. I lost track of if after I finished Link Between Worlds.
