Pokemon Tournament Stage I: "Gotta Raise'em All!"

[Del Murder]

One stat down, 5 more to go. I don't think I'll need pokerus. The horde training is the way to go, especially if you have a lot of pokemon to learn that stat. With exp share on I can train 4 at a time (need a spot for the sweeper and a Combee). I just pass the Macho Brace between pokemon to distribute it evenly.

Gained a few levels doing this too so it's killing two birds.

[Freya]

Freya, can you double check your Friend Code for me? I'm showing that 0791-1388-7088 is invalid. Also, I had friended you previously under 0791-1388-7078, though you never Friended me back if that number is accurate.

My own code is 1547-6378-0895. I have your eggs ready.

IT is probably 78, i may have typoed it. but I should be able to trade when I get home this afternoon. I'll VM you when I can.

So it turns out I had a pokerus pokemon just sitting in a box. I have no idea how I got that. Things are progressing well.

I need a few TMs but most of them I just need to go find. I do need two from the Battle Maison but I think I can just run through a few battles to get the BP for it.

I also noticed that a couple of my pokemon have moves they only could have learned from breeding. Not sure if that was on purpose or not, but it's pretty cool! A couple of them I might keep on there.

[Fynn]

Yep. Sky's a pro breeder. That's also why four of my Pokemon have five perfect IVs, while the other two have four.

Yes and no. These eggs all were bred from Pokémon I had prepared to be competitively viable. Due to the way the 6th Gen Pokémon games handle Egg Moves (unlike previous games, Gen 6 actually remembers which moves your Pokémon has when it hatches, so that you can ALWAYS relearn those moves), I put my four favorite Egg Moves on each Pokémon when I'm actually working on breeding up a new competitive team member. However, most of those moves aren't actually viable, so I only keep the ones which I feel actually benefit the Pokémon.

So if your Pokémon has an Egg Move on it, it's a move that I kept for my competitive set with that Pokémon. Also, yeah, there are going to be a lot of perfect IVs there. But which ones are all random, as I wasn't actually breeding these eggs for top-tier competitive play, but just for fun.

[Del Murder]

I didn't even check the IVs. That's pretty cool as well.

I also will point out that, although not everyone got the 'best' nature for their traditional usage, none of my team has a bad nature (for example -Speed on a sweeper or something like that). Almost all of them got an increase in a stat they will use and a decrease in a stat they don't really need.

Sky, you should market your services as a pro breeder!

[Sir Lancealot]

EV training done, now to start leveling.

I would gladly do so, if I thought it was a viable business.

Anyway, Freya has received the final six eggs, and I gave her a Hatching Power Level 3 as well, so we should know shortly who the final competitors are.


Fynn, how many eggs do we have left?

[Fynn]

Freya makes 15 contestants, so that means there's 20 eggs left.

[Freya]

Which Espurr? Male or female? It'll matter when it evolves.

[Jinx]

MR. PICKLES AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[Freya]

I'm not sure what I'll evolve ever into and I think it's a male espurr
