[Gen6][3DS] Pokemon X & Y

[MugoUrth]

How much is the shiny egg rate now in Gen 6 with Masuda Method?

[RicePigeon]

roughly 1/1365 or 0.07326%

[MugoUrth]

So the same as last gen.

[Galvatron]

I'm only interested if its ability is Prankster. If you have a Friend Safari with Sableye, you could catch one with Prankster in there.

 

EDIT: Nevermind. A friend gave me one.

Oh ok! that cool!

I had a really stupid thought earlier that might wind up actually becoming a reality: I'm thinking of running a Fossil team. I've already got a few ideas sketched out and discussed with Rice.

[PlasmoidThunder]

Suddenly, Ferrothorn :P

Or Ludicolo.

Cool Idea Nook.

 

I was thinking on making a team that relates to farm animals. The only thing is I have to see if I have the pokemon I need.

 

Hmm! I have :Tauros(with Sheer force ability), Milktank(with scrappy ability), psyduck/Golduck, flaafy/ampharos, Spoink/Grumpig, Ponyta/Rapidash. I think that should work!

Suddenly, Tyrantrum. :P

Or Mega Aerodactyl.

I know I'm soo Late on asking this question but how do you get the hatching O-Power?  do you have to Max the other O-powers to unlock it or something?

[RicePigeon]

You dont have to max out the other o-powers, just make sure you have all of them other than the Hatching power, then youll find Mr. Bonding in Lumiose City restaurants who gives you the Hatching O-power.

[DarkWolf13]

And max your style to add on to what Rice has explained. You can easily do that by buying Premier Balls one at a time at the Poke Ball shop... forgot what street in Lumiose City though...

[MugoUrth]

I have a question about the storage system.

You start out with seven storage boxes, but you get more if you have at least one Pokemon in each box. With this in mind, I really have to ask "What the **** is the point of unlocking them that way!?" Completely redundant. They might as well be initially unlocked.

Also, still trying to get a shiny with the Masuda method. I've hatched over 300 eggs so far. I lost count past that.

Oh! ok Thanks you two. I'm just completely lost on how to unlock it. Well at least I don't have to bother Kanbei  and MugoUrth to much no more sending them O-powers unless yall still don't mind.

If you've ever been face to face with Platinum's 1 minute savetimes then you'll know the reason for this.

[PlasmoidThunder]

Saving a lot of data...

[RicePigeon]

Saving a lot of data...

 

Tons of mental scarring with a low DS battery.

 

At least the DS's battery didnt run out of juice every 2 hours unlike its successor.

[DarkWolf13]

My 2DS can last for around 5 hours without charging at the dimmest level of light... I never played my games at no higher bright level. I believe the graphics are the reason why the game have to pull the juice a lot because I think 3DS/2DS last around 8-9 hours at full battery life if DS games are on.

 

And Matt, don't get me started on that! It was annoying doing that everytime you switch a Pokemon. They fixed it in HG/SS but it does the long save if you switch your Pokemon a whole lot in-between storage boxes.

[Galvatron]

Mind 3DS battery last about 3-4 hours playing this game. Though one thing I like about this is the game will give you a warning when the battery is going low so you can save before the system shuts off. =)

[MugoUrth]

How long does it usually take people to get a shiny with the Masuda method? I'm on day 4 right now.

[DarkWolf13]

Don't know and chances are extremely low... and about shinies... *sigh* they're just a palette swap that's a very rare sight and just sparkle everytime they come out the Poke Ball or when they're seen in the wild.

But I still want one. If for no other reason than to say I got one and to wow people in Online battles assuming the Pokemon's any good. After all, Shiny Pokemon may not be stronger than normals, but they're not weaker either.

[PlasmoidThunder]

They probably won't "wow" anyone online. Everyone's seen a shiny, and most people just assume they're hacked anyway.

 

To the really competitive, it's not about looks, it's about what it can do.

[MugoUrth]

It's mostly just to be different. I don't see anyone using shinies online, so it'd be kind of cool to see. Plus, I'm trying to get a shiny of an OU tiered Pokemon so it's possibly viable as an actual fighter. Still, I wonder if chaining with the old rod would be easier than the Masuda Method. I could get a shiny Magikarp that way.

I know it's kind of a stupid reason but hey, it might still be fun just to see.

[Xan]

Very this.

[MugoUrth]

Still, that's not to say you can't have looks AND usefulness.
