Awesome! I can trade any time within the next hour or so (after that I'm off to bed ).
I was so upset.... all that money...
Not yet, I'm still in the process of IV testing the most recent batch of Wishing Eevees If you don't care too much about stats I can breed one for you quick though. Oh and I do advise waiting to evolve it until it learns Extrasensory, as Ninetales won't learn it. (I am super excited to abuse Drought + Solar Beam on Ninetales again though! )
Making laps in front of the daycare as I type this I LOVE my Ninetales on my B2 version. Drought, Flamethrower, Solar Beam, Extrasensory and Hidden Power Ice. Along with Chlorophyll Leafeon, they led my Doubles team and were surprisingly solid as far as partners go. Ivysaur is fine, unless you happen to have Galvantula I miss Compoundeyes + Thunder.

I can trade any time within the next hour or so (after that I'm off to bed ).did you have any Drought Vulpix babies on hand? :3 Quote from: Aitsuki on October 21, 2013, 03:25:13 PMI was so upset.... all that money...i hear ya. D: I know in past games, i would use all of my poke balls and still wouldnt catch the legendary. And always would carry extras just in case.
Thanks for the trade, Glacia! Polar Vivillon is so pretty!I feel so non-hardcore. I've been playing Pokemon since the very beginning, so I thought I'd had a pretty good handle on the games, but it seems to play competitively you've got to get so complicated. I have no idea what Pokemon's natures do. As far as abilities, if I catch two of one pokemon and one has an ability that sounds more useful than the other, that's the one I'll use, but I don't know what every ability does or which possible abilities each pokemon can get. I also don't really understand how moves or abilities are passed along through eggs, or why people bother. And EV training? (Is that the right term?) Seems over the top. I'm so unsophisticated!
Flarewing- Added you too! I'd love to get the other starters eventually (especially Charmander, if you have him!) Is there anything in particular you're looking for in return?

Effort values (abbreviated EVs and previously called Stat Exp), officially called base stats (Japanese: きそポイント base point), are attributes which give bonuses to a Pokémon's stats and improve differently depending which Pokémon they defeat. These bonuses, in the form of effort points, are gained in addition to bonuses gained by increasing level. A Pokémon which increases in level using a Rare Candy instead of battling does not gain any EVs, making it weaker than a Pokémon who increases in level normally.Roughly speaking, defeating fast Pokémon increases Speed better than fighting slow Pokémon, defeating Pokémon with high hit points improves HP more than defeating Pokémon with low HP, and so on. For example, fighting 100 Machop will improve a Pokémon's Attack stat more than fighting 100 Abra of the same level, whereas the Abra will improve the Special Attack stat more.Unlike experience points, which are reduced when multiple Pokémon are receiving experience, effort points are awarded equally to all Pokémon who participated in defeating a Pokémon. Though they are shared, each of the Pokémon will receive the standard amount of effort points.
Individual values, IVs for short, sometimes also known as determinant values, DVs for short, are the Pokémon equivalent of genes. They are instrumental in determining the stats of a Pokémon, being responsible for the large variation in stats among untrained Pokémon of the same species.Each of the six battle stats has an IV associated with it, with that IV coming into calculation alongside the Pokémon's base stats and EVs to determine the actual stat number. A Pokémon's IVs are determined when it is generated by the game; when it is obtained as an Egg from the Pokémon Day Care, encountered in the wild, or given to the player by an NPC.
I have a question - what is the difference between wonder trade and GTS? is one better then the other? Or does it matter?
I'm too lazy to battle competitively. Plus, I always battle with favorites, which makes my team an easy target in the competitive department.
On the subject of Wonder Trade, what have you all received that has made you think 'Didn't expect that to come through'?
