Does anyone have evees in their safari?
Also what's in mine?

[Ad Bot]

[Cybersix]

You know you can catch Eevees on Route 10, right?

Probably wants Hidden Ability or a head start on IV breeding

My updated team:
Blaziken(with mega stone)
Mewtwo(with mega stone)
Lucario(with mega stone)
Charizard(with mega stone)
Delphox
HM slave

I also recently caught Zygarde. Is it worth adding to my team?

[Regulith]

Following up from the post regarding X&Y getting hacked yesterday, there have allegedly been more discoveries regarding unreleased Pokemon. These include two Vivillon patterns, a Floette form, and at least one new Mega Evolution. You can see a compilation of all these unreleased Pokemon (and the 3D model for Arceus) here, but take them with a grain of salt as they could still be well-done fakes.

you could afford to replace delphox with zygarde, as you have a lot of fire types in your team.

Assuming they're real for the sake of conversation, the mega evo is pretty neat. People have been saying they have the same mega evolution (in terms of looks and potentially stats etc) because it is a fusion of the two of them, which explains the coloration and why it samples design from both of the base Pokemon.

Now the next big leak will be the rumored hidden region and Pokemon still unfound in the game.

I'm just interested how a Mega Evo like that would work, unless it has something to do with the DNA Splicers

Well I'm not completely sure because the rumor said two mega stones, which would be one for each Pokemon. But in those pictures the mega evolution seems to be identical, so who knows. We have to wonder when Nintendo planned to release this information - if they're event Pokemon / stones, were these events planned to be all the way after the release of Pokebank?

I got the Chespin for my Charmander.

I'm not really sure if I can be bothered to try and level him up though to match my current team.
It's taken me forever to level up my Absol to reach level 60, where my team is. And I only really levelled up Absol because it was the only pokemon I had that could learn False Swipe, and my team are overleveled for the Wild Pokemon I encounter at the moment.

I do feel like I need to change my team up though. It's not been a hindrance so far, but it's not very varied in type at all.
Currently my team is as such;

Fennley - Delphox - Lv. 65
Squire - Blastoise - Lv. 56
Ocestar fish - Lapras - Lv. 55
Wrigley - Butterfree - Lv. 54
Soladon - Absol - Lv.60
Ruby - Talonflame - Lv. 59

Absol is mostly used for capturing others, but is a useful fighter.
I shouldn't really need Lapras for anything other than Surfing, but I liked her a lot in battle, and Ice was effective against dragons, so I traded her in for my main grass type at the time, Pansage.
Ruby is useful as a fighter and lets me do sky battles, so I'm happy with her.
Wrigley is definitely a weak link in terms of fighting, but he gives me Sleep Powder, which is useful.
Squire and Fennley are sticking around as my main fighters.

I'm happy to train up a grass type, or anything else to replace either Wrigley or Ocestar fish, but I'm not sure what.
And it'll take ages.
I'm currently hoping to get my current team to Level 60, if not level 70. But I am aiming up ahead of myself I think. I'm only at 7 Badges done, and waiting to go see what Team Flare's machine did. I don't think I need my pokemon that strong.
What level are the Elite Four's pokemon at?


Any tips for changes to make to my team?
And any tips for levelling up quickly. Wild pokemon are underlevelled, and there aren't any trainers I can seeminlgy challenge with Pokemon at a similar level.
Using the Lucky Egg helps, but isn't brilliant, and EXP Point O-Powers don't last long.

Also what's in mine?

ice pokemon. Bergemite, Spheal, and something i haven't found yet

im pretty sure

So this is my current online team:

Espeon @ Light Clay
Nature: Timid

Salamence @ Life Orb
Nature: Quirky
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 64 Atk / 192 SpA / 252 Spe
- Draco Meteor
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
- Shadow Claw
(This was a wild shiny that I wanted to use so the nature isn't really the best, but it gets the job done)

Azumarill @ Leftovers
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe
- Double-Edge

- Sucker Punch
- Swords Dance
- Play Rough
- Iron Head

I want to switch Azumarill out for something since Scolipede is taking the place of Blaziken-basher and Mawile already shares a lot of properties with it, but I'm not sure what to replace it with

[kevin 51l]

skiddo has broken all 3 of my almost-there (33, 30, 27) pancham chains

also chain fishing is so easy my friends won't even count them. i did find a shiny relicanth doing it but accidentally killed it, not like i was going to use it

I notice Azumarill is the only one carrying a fighting type move. You can use that to narrow down a replacement, possibly choosing a fighting type specifically for the bonus base power on that fighting type move. Defensively, you're pressured by the Ice-Ground type combo that good players use, so perhaps also use that as a parameter to hone in on a replacement. I'm not sure what options you have available to you but hopefully these things give you an idea.

I might try Weavile and see how that works out

On a related note, is Pickpocket really Sneasel's Hidden Ability? Because I've fought probably ~50 in the Friend Safari and I haven't Traced Pickpocket a single time

I finally found one after over a loving hour
