[Handheld] Pokemon X/Y and Alpha Centari with Beta Ray Bill

Also, how'd you get an Excadrill anyway? Bulbapedia says it's not available this gen yet.
Excadrill is available in ground-type friend safaris. Drilbur is not, though you can of course just breed Excadrill to get one.[DOUBLEPOST=1387179555,1387179425][/DOUBLEPOST]I've found Bulbapedia to be very inaccurate so far this gen, while Serebii tends to be updated far faster.
 
... you wouldn't happen to have an adamant Drilbur or Excadrill just burning a hole in one of your boxes?
I've got tons.

Unfortunately I don't have any that are max IV bred. Like I said, Excadrill didn't excite me much, so I'm using some imperfect ones while still deciding what to do with them.
 
I'll take one with imperfect IVs. I'm mainly playing in-game, instead of battling competitively, so it won't affect me much.

I only ask that you give it a cool nickname. :D

The game must have taken pity on me for that shiny Zangoose bullshit, because I just caught a shiny Ledyba that popped up in my berry trees.

Shit, that last independent clause did not sound masculine at all.
 
So just singleplayer? Whichever you want. I'd go garchomp, because he has a mega evolution. Also, he's a ground shark, nothing else matters.

Ground shark.

Also, name it Kaiju.
Yeah, I'm just getting through the single-player at the moment. Maybe later I'll breed up some pokes for competitive battling.

Also, Kaiju is an excellent idea!

According to today's Nintendo Direct, everyone who used the Pokemon Bank gets a free Celebi. Sweet!
 
Kind of wish I hadn't restarted Pokemon Y; just not feeling this Nuzlocke.

Maybe went the transfer comes out I'll just make babies of whatever I want and play through like that.
 
Well fuck... where did my lucky egg go?

Did I trade it? Did I release a pokemon with it? There really needs to be a confirmation when canning a pokemon with an item.

...

Now I need to find someone with a chansey friend safari.
 
Slowly building up a competitive team...have a perfect IV Aegislash, now working on breeding a perfect Goodra.
Why don't we have your friend code? We needs it, and you need to adds us, for the safaris!

Also, I'm happy to offer my breeding services.

...

Feel free to add any inuendo you like, I don't care.
 
So I just caught Xerneas.

It's Jolly.

Well this is one legendary Pokemon that's never seeing the light of day again.

The Battle Maison is a bitch. I cleared the first singles challenge pretty easily, but I've got max speed EV Mons getting outspend by almost everything. My Azumarill is going to be an absolute monster once I build up to that Ability Capsule, and I need to put Grass Knot on my Greninja.

Planning on running it hard with this team:

Greninja - Timid
Ability - Protean
Grass Knot
Ice Beam
Dark Pulse
Scald

Charizard Y - Modest
Ability - Blaze
Solarbeam
Fire Blast
Focus Blast
Dragon Pulse

Garchomp - Jolly
Ability - Rough Skin
Crunch
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Dragon Claw

My downfall my first couple runs was a lack of items, lack of Grass Knot, and the horrific self-injury rate of confusion.

Damnit, I want those 100 and 200 win streak berries! They can make an item that's a double Rare Candy.

If you don't want to spend 200BP on an ability capsule, you could ask me to breed you one. I even have an adamant 5IV bellydrum/aqua jet azumarill with huge power ready to go.[DOUBLEPOST=1387579894,1387579589][/DOUBLEPOST]In fact, I'll offer it up for a choice band, which is much cheaper than an ability capsule.

Sorry, Poe. Had a strong run and got a Capsule after tweaking the team. I'm set. But, if you need a Choice Band, one quick run would net enough BP for that.

Oh, I can get the bp myself. I just have lots of items to buy, and had a spare azumarill laying around.
 
Any wild shiny is going to be terrible. It's in the thrill of the catch!
Well, it's a safari zone catch, so it had the chance to be halfway decent. Smeargle doesn't really need a ton of perfect IV's to be good, but terrible speed will definitely hurt it.

(of course, I already have 3 perfect Smeargles, so maybe I shouldn't be greedy...)
