anyone have mawile, nuzleaf, spiritomb, fletchinder, shuckle, tropius, helioptile, lilipup, or espurr in their friend safari?
I’ll post this again, just for the heck of it.
Hoopa, the Sound Wave Pokemon
Psychic/Ghost
1’3″
6 lbs
Hoopa are blind, and use echolocation to find their way. It sends out pulses from the rings on it’s body, which can subdue foes.
Volcanion, the Lava Whale Pokemon
Fire/Water
39’11”
3,000 lbs
Volcanion floats idle in the sea, occasionally spewing lava from the vents on its back. Flying Pokemon often rest on it.
I’ve been hording for two whole hors straight and no shiny! I just don’t have the patience for this! And that’s kinda dissapionting because all I’ve ever wanted from a pokemon game was just one shiny! Any suggestions? Help please 🙂
Pokeradar….but I still don’t have the patience for that. I usually find shinies when I’m not trying to find shinies.
I .. .. Just . . .Cant . . TAKE IT!!
Stop trying to find shinies, and you will find a shiny
I’ve played all the games since ruby/sapphire and never ever found a shiny except for the red gyarados.
Should I try consecutive fishing instead?
you just gotta be patient, everybody’s first time is special
I have NEVER EVER caught a Shiny!! Not in White, Black2, White2, or X! Never!
I usually find shinies while EV training the old way. But now with sweet scent you should EV train with hordes. That way it will feel like you are doing something while increasing your chances of finding a shiny.
In Black, I found a shiny litwick while EV training in the celestial tower.
I found a shiny Litwick there as well (EV training a Litwick)
I’ve played all the games since ruby/sapphire and never caught one except for a red gyarados in hg/ss through a story event.
I am sorry, but can everyone on here look at my ideas for Volcanion and Hoopa? And give me your honest opinion of them?
I up voted. I like them. I thought volcanion would look more like a tiki torchy thing. 🙂
But how would they work the water type into that?
IDK, just my ideas. I thought of the strange souvenior.
is the intriguing stone still of no use?
As far as we know, yes, but I have my suspicions about it.
It looks like a mega stone, so maybe its used for a new or previous legendary?
Something to do with Strange Souvenir?
I like the idea that when you are at sea, Volcanion looks like a volcano when the body is submerged.
Thanks!
I think you should make fan art of your own pokemon. Your drawing style is amazing!
Thank you so much! I try, but I have Once-You-Draw-It-Once-You-Can’t-Draw-It-Again Syndrome.
Yeah, me too. I love making my own pokemon,and I have an image in my head, I just cant put it on paper. And if I try, I just make a fool of myself.
Same here. So many heads filled with untold ideas…
Someone wants to have a multi battle?
hey guys, i need more friends for the friend safari!
Friend code: 3969 – 3987 – 4488 name: Duncan
0473 8753 9731 add me
3110-4650-3890 add me
Guys, can you please stop boasting about your shinies for the people who don’t have one? I’ve played all the games since ruby/sapphire and never a shiny. Not to metion the times I’ve restarted. I don’t mean to be mean, but its kinda been depressing me. Thanks 🙂
Did anyone like my Hoopa?
me
And now I follow you.
thanks, do you want me too?
Sure!
Thanks, I did.
Just so everyone knows, Hoopa’s my favorite.
I just had a thought: Horde encounters in the friend safari?
hmmm, I haven’t tried sweet scent there before….interesting thought
It might just be what I need to get a shiny . . . Hmmm
Nope never mind, can’t use honey so I doubt sweet scent
How do people record high quality footage of a 3ds? I’ve looked everywhere to find it but no luck. I’m doing a pokemon Y walkthrough if I can find a way to record the screen. My walkthrough team will be :
Chesnaught / Nutella
Talonflame / Bonflyer (sorry, I liked the name)
Sylveon / Stella
Blastiose/ King Koopa
Ampharos / Savio? Fabulos? (ideas?)
Tyrantrum / King baby
Using a 3DS Capture Card. If you can’t, the next best thing is to get a camera/a tripod and concentrate the camera to record the screen.
I would name it “L’Oréal” just because :p
Or Fabio! XD
Haha, or Pantene.
Can anyone help me evolve some Pokemon that evolve through trade? (2)
Yup, I’m available
I need a similar favor myself for swirlix to evolve him into slurpuff. Also..I can gift you a freshly hatched timid amaura. 🙂
Ok, my FC:4957-3487-9166
Oh, I have a modest one too, but I would have to hatch an egg real quick…which ever you prefer…speed or spec. attack.
No need for the amaura, already got one
Here is my code. 4012 4288 4591
I feel bad not reciprocating your help.
Any other pokemon you would like?
A friend safari: beldum/metang, Zoroark/Zorua or shelgon/bagon if you have any. If not, no problem.
Yep. I have a friend with metang! Give me a couple minutes 🙂
Taking longer than expected…crazy low catch rate!
My FC is: 3196-2837-5620
There’s a Shelgon in my Friend Safari; can’t get to it though. Thank you!
Thanks :). Ready when you are
Just Alakazam?
Scyther too, I just looked it up and it needs a Metal Coat -_- Where can I get one?
Pokeball Factory
Thank you VERY much! 🙂
Anytime 🙂
Turns out I already have one so I will just equip it and ask to trade. Thank you! 😀
Scizor wants to learn Iron Head, which move do you want out?
What moves does it have at the moment?
Double hit: 35/90
X-Scissor: 80/100 (STAB)
Night Slash: 70/100 (high critical)
Air Slash: 75/95 (may flinch)
Wants to learn:
Iron Head: 80/100 (STAB, may flinch)
Double hit isn’t so good so I choose you Double hit!
Anybody has an Own Tempo Female Espurr? Will trade for Modest Amaura (will breed for a female if requested), or a Rash Eevee (Ditto for gender request).
I want a shiny clauncher…
I want a shiny male Eevee to evolve into a shiny male Sylveon. We all have dreams. If I ever do get one though, would you try and get a Hidden Ability Espurr?
Yeah, no problem. What ability would it be?
Own Tempo.
Cool, I’ll see if I can help you out.
consecutive fishing has your name on it!
* doesn’t have a good rod :/ *
I got a shiny clawitzer via consecutive fishing yesterday, give it a try! I also got a seaking and basculin today doing it too! looking for gyarados right now
I am going to do that as well…I hope the mega gyrados reverses the blue and red scales!
Anyone have a hidden ability eevee they wanna trade
Woah…I have been busy this week and I am not sure if this has already been discussed, but I find this interesting relating to the mysterious Volcanion speculation…
http://i.imgur.com/4BZMyLz.jpg
I’ve seen that too. I thought they were talking about Heatran. It IS called “the Lava Dome Pokemon”.
OH…duh..
Why do I get my hopes up? XD
Probably won’t work, but has anyone tried using honey or sweet scent in that area?
Well Volcanion does scream out, “Hey everyone! I have at least something to do with a volcano!” Maybe it’s a Heatran counter part?
It could have something to do with lava cakes.
Is there a way to pass a nature to a Pokemon egg if that parent had it.
By having it hold everstone, I think
Thanks for the help
Everstone
Thanks
I read somewhere that tipping people would gave you a higher rate of catching a shiny I don’t think it’s real.
So what’s the point to add tiping? I think is real
GF trolling us taking our hard earned poke’dollars
there has to be a point…..think about zelda games….something is definitely secretive about this tipping business…..
I definitely have a case of Wonder Trade addiction. Checked my PC boxes and realized over 90% of them (serious estimate) aren’t mine.
I am not so lucky with my trades! haha
Oh…I am breeding a beldum for you…I would give you the metang I caught, but I realized I should breed some back ups since it was a tough catch. Give me 10 more minutes max…sorry about the length of time.
Not a problem, I know how hard catching one of them can be. Got my blood boiling trying to catch one in Black & White
Can someone explain the Masuda method?
breed pokemon of different language origins (i.e USA ditto + JPN pikachu)
You breed two of the same pokemon, but one from a different region. Like me breeding a Honedge caught by me with the German one I got on wonder trade.
If you put 2 pokemons from different countries in the day care, you will have more chances to hatch a shiny pokemon, like 0,01
Thanks, all this talk about shinies got me excited
I have a questions for my Poké peeps. In sapphire, when you went to the town with the hot springs, and you got the Wynaut egg, were yours always shiny? Every time I started a new game in sapphire I would get a shiny Wynaut, but in Ruby it would be regular.
No, You’re very lucky
Well that’s very…. Odd.
Yeah…I thought the man in crystal often gave you a shiny egg, 1/8 chance…Though I never heard this applied to wynaut in gen 3.
Interesting!
I kept trying to get a regular! It freaked me out at first so I retried. I gave up eventually.
Trying to get a non-shiny…That’s a first. XD
Totally. I thought my game was messing up! I was in like third grade.
Nope, you were just so damn lucky.
Note: Played Emerald
Entei can learn Sacred Fire now………O_O
YES!!!!
Victory!
Finally!!! How did you confirm this btw?
Battle maison i think
yeah…I didn’t confirm but other people did from Battle Maison.
I’d rather have Flareon get this than Flareblitz to be honest…..but atleast gamefreak gave it a bone.
huh, on closer inspection, the unknown dungeon has the same design as the sea spirits den and the chamber of emptiness…..
Event chambers/caves/hideouts temd to have the same design. Spirit Den is already reserved for the Bird Trios, guess that means there’s one more cave out there
I knew the chamber of emptiness and sea spirits den had the same design, I just wondered why there was only 2. then I realized the unknown dungeon has the same design as those 2. just a thought, I guess…
Still, I wonder what the Chamber of Emptiness is for other than getting Banettenite. I doubt GF would design a chamber in such a manner without a purpose, especially when you consider how it’s kinda tucked away from the main route
there was also the spooky plate as well… 2 ghost related items… wasn’t one of our “hidden” legendaries a ghost type? maybe it has to do with the chamber?
I think maybe its for Hoopa
does catching a pokemon end your fishing chain? I found a shiny gyarados and I wonder if I catch it if it’ll end or should I keep going after I catch it…
CATCH. IT. NOW.
Someone would like to battle?
Oops…I think I took too long for Dude-E…would anyone care to trade evolve my swilix?
sure
What’s your name again? :p
huh?
Your character’s name, unless it’s the same as dewkage…I can’t keep the names straight of all of the users on here!
no it’s asano
Oh okay…I’ll try to remember that. 🙂
that’s not my real name just my character name
Of course I didn’t mean your real name! haha
I meant to say character’s name in my original post.
i don’t know if you know but you friend safari is psychic
Yep I do! Though, apparently I have a munna in mine that I really want!
i can try for it what kind is it
psychic..it should be in my safari.
Not 100% sure the same pokemon appear in my safari for everyone. I know the type will be the same.
is it just a munna or do you want HA munna
Oh, what does “HA’ stand for?
hidden ability
OH. Okay, sleep deprived over here :p
I would prefer one with telepathy! 🙂
Anything you are looking for?
what is my friend safari
I believe it was bug…yeah, I think I saw a masquerain and butterfree, though there could be a third pokemon as well.
there should i beat the E4
NVM…it’s ghost. Erg..I can’t keep track of my almost 80 friends.
yea i only got like 5
haha…I had a massive friend adding day when I added almost 50 people after I reached the friend safari.
i got a munna with telepathy but it’s nature sucks and it’s female
I would love any munna that just has a decreased attack stat if you can find one…but I have a nice pokemon to trade…a Quilladin, female, with adamant nature.
i got another one that has up Sp.atk and decreased speed
haha…well it’s already as slow as crap so that would be fine :p
do you want an HA braixen
OH. I already have a modest one! 🙂
cool i am trying to breed
Woah…you have a spiritomb!
cool!!!
By the way. Are there any pokes you are looking for? I might have something to offer for your help.
not really you just said you want to evolve your swilix and i figured i could evolve my spritzee
Sure. That works swell.
I am online now, just send a message to “Fenton” whenever you are able to trade.
i have no clue how
Oh. If you connect to the internet I can initiate the trade if you’d like.
i am connected
OH. We must not be friends.
I thought we were, but here is my code: 4012 4288 4591
mine is 4141-2457-3096
