Pokemon X and Pokemon Y - October 2013

Anyone got any info on that steel ghost? Looks sweet to me but bulbapedia and other places have no info on it.

[Prpl_Mage]

Yes, I use the **** out of Honedge. You can get it pretty early in the grass around a mansion of sorts. Great attack and Def, bad Sp atk and speed. HP is so and so. Starts to learn all the great moves after evolving into Duoblade. How can you say no to something with Sacred sword and night slash? Starts with sword dance, can learn iron defence and power trick(or swap, can't remember the name).
Ghost removes steel weakness to fighting, the fire and ground weakness is still there though and can be problematic. Unsure if it can come with levitate, mine came with no guard. And for some reason, Steel is no longer resistant against dark so dark still deals SE damage. Also, ghost is one of the few types that steel doesn't resist so that's still SE as well. On the bright side, the probably exchanged the dark resistance because steel is now resistant to fairy. And steel is SE against fairy as well. Loads of fairy types out there now.
Oh, and a third evolution, although not as cool. You need a stone for that.

PS: duoblade looks cooler than aegislash though.

PSS: should probably explain aegislash ability. Basically, in blade forme you take a bunch of def/sp def and add it to your attack perimeters. This mode will be activated right before you use any move that harm the enemy. Then we have shiled forme which is the start forme and have terrible attack and sp attack but amazing def and sp def, it is reactivated by using a non-attack like sword's dance.
Summery: when attacking you are a glascannon but you can buff your attack safely with sword dance before starting attacking.

So that's why I was 13 levels higher than everyone... LOL!  Didn't the person who gave it to you in the game say that the fighting pokemon gets 50% and the others get the remaining 50% divided up?  The game would've been much harder if I hadn't been using it then.  Not a big deal to me though. 

Well in that case the NPC is lying. What happens is that you still recieve full EXP, and everyone else gets 50% of that and the IVs.

So if you defeat something worth 1200 exp. The leader gets that exp. with exp share ON, the leader gets 1200 exp, and everyone else gets 600. So I would turn it OFF. I usually just turn it on for gym battles since in the end there's probably just gonna be 1-2 pokes clearing the entire thing.

So Zigzagoon. Never really cared for them in the past. They are now my favorite.

So.

FUCKING.

Adorable.

Stuff

Sounds pretty sweet. I'm pretty glad his switch ability doesn't suck. It seems pretty useful.

Anyone try the water started with protean yet?

I have to point out that I reloaded my game after evolving it. I couldn't stand having that ability myself. I can definitely see a lot of people finding this useful and tactical, I'm just not one of those people. Also, duoblade looks way cooler.
Statwise there wasn't much progress since the last form except the special stats and speed. But I wasn't comfortable with it turning into a glascannon considering how your defense stats are lowered to that of a lvl 25 while attacking. And let's face it, I usually attack things. And they're not gonna die in one hit.

Yeah, i don't like that EV share.  I don't want my non fighters to get EVs.  I'm very picky about what stats get what amount of effort value points.  And just a fun fact... [spoiler]Mega Aggron's defense can hit over 600[/spoiler]

[DragonBlaze]

I like exp. share on... The issue I had with most of the past games is my main pokemon (and possibly a side pokemon or two) would be way higher than everyone I fought, but my other pokemon would be so much lower, that they got their asses kicked to the point where I didn't want to use them. It would be nice if ALL of your pokemon got 50% exp, but I think the way it is right now is still better than having 4 of my 6 pokemon un-usable.

[Prpl_Mage]

Problem with it now is that All your pokes easily get way higher than everyone you fight.

[oooog]

Managed to get my hands on a Protean Froakie.

WTF is a Protean Froakle?

[oooog]

Froakie's alternate ability

Changes the Pokémon's type to the type of the move it's using.

And how did you do that?

[oooog]

Some nice Japanese dude on Wonder Trade.  Got it, bred it like crazy, and now I have a platoon of them to distribute for presents or leverage.  Anyone got a Chlorophyll Bulbasaur?

[daoman89]

For those who cannot find good poke info, use Serebii.net. The site is great!  I would like a Protean Froakie too 4768-7532-9706. Ive added u Ooog.

So one of my aquaintances randomly wanted to battle me and i made the mistake of picking only 3 monsters instead of 6.  So let me share a video of how beast Aegislash is!

Youll need a VS Recorder i believe: TK5W-WWWW-WWWX-YP5H
