I'll take it, and I'll give you my magikarp :p

I'll give you.. ENTEI!

I don't WANT Entei. Its stats are okay, but its movepool doesn't complement it at all. Its only physical STAB is Fire Fang, which is too weak. Its special attack just isn't good enough to complement its abundance of special moves.

I change my mind.

Ferrety, if you still have that Dream World female, Eevee, I'd be willing to trade my Garchomp for a baby. I really need my own female one so I can breed for good Eeveelutions.

How about a female Espeon?

*Changed my mind about Entei*

If the female Espeon has its Dream World ability, then I'd gladly trade.

Eh.. I'll check.

How do I know if it does?

EDIT: No, it doesn't, but it has Synchronize.

Synchronize is bad. I need one with the Dream World ability so that I can make Eevees with the Dream World ability, then breed them for the right nature. Synchronize is a good ability, but I don't need it right now. My ultimate goal is to get a Vaporeon with Hydration that has the right nature, but I need a female Dream World Eevee before I can do that.

Hey, Gelo, is Kingler good for anything?

Sorry to be a bit of a bother but would anyone like a Gible egg or a shiny Fearow? Also I've found out my Garchomp's nature is relaxed. What stats gains the benifits from Relaxed nature? :/

Relaxed nature raises Defense and lowers Speed. That's bad, because Garchomp needs to be really fast to survive. And no, I don't need a Gible egg because I've got plenty of them, and they even have Outrage as an egg move.

It's got incredible Attack, the same as Garchomp in fact, but its speed is a bit too low. Luckily, it has great Defense to make up for that, but it also has poor HP which hinders its defensive capabilities. It also has horrendous Special Defense, so it can't take any special moves that it doesn't resist. In short, use at your own risk. If you're lucky, it can deal massive damage. If you can Baton Pass a speed boost to it, that would help it a lot. I suggest using Scizor to Baton Pass Agility.

Crud. I'm going to have to do something about that..-_-

Use Huntail to pass Shell Smash?

Ooh, Shell Smash would be really good for Kingler. If Kingler can learn it (which would make sense, seeing as he's a crab), then you might not even need to pass it.

I would suggest breeding a whole new one. I would suggest using Druddigon to breed Outrage onto it, and make sure you have either an Adamant or Jolly nature. Adamant is for power, Jolly is for speed.

Also, I'm going to do a Monotype challenge in Sapphire. I'm doing Grass type, and here's my planned team:

- Sceptile
- Ludicolo
- Breloom
- Cacturne
- Cradily
- Tropius

So far, all I have is Treeko and Lotad. But I'll get Shroomish while I'm in Petalburg Woods and my team will already be halfway there. Wish me luck.

Wow good luck with that Gelo! As for me I think I have a female Druddigon. Drat I might need to go capture a male one with the right nature! Oy evy luck is not on my side today. -_-

The Druddigon doesn't have to have the right nature, but it does have to be male to pass on the egg moves. If you want to speed up the process, use a female Gible with the nature you're looking for and give it an everstone. That way, the babies have a much higher chance of inheriting the right nature.

Surprisingly, Kingler can't learn Shell Smash. In fact, the only Poke'mon I have that can learn Shell Smash is Omanyte.

Obtain a Huntail. Like Ferrety said earlier, it's very good at passing Shell Smashes.

Ok, I actually was trying to get a Huntail anyway.


Speaking of Omanyte, is he/Omastar useful for anything? Sorry if I keep asking these things, it's just that you seem to be the official on Poke'mon and I want to use my Poke'mon to their greatest extent.

Omastar has an excellent Special Attack, but atrocious Speed. He could be used well on a Trick Room team. Alternatively, you could remedy the speed problem with Rock Polish, but that requires a turn of set-up. He has a very reliable water STAB move in Surf, but doesn't have any good special Rock STAB, unless you count Ancientopower, which is really bad. If you're using a fourth gen game, then he can learn Earth Power from the Battle Frontier move tutors.

Actually, forget what I said about Rock Polish. Use Shell Smash. Omastar learns it through level-up, and it happens to double Special Attack at the same time that it's doubling Speed.

I decided to hatch my Gible egg. First of all it's a male, second it has Gentle nature and third I tried to boost it's stats by giving it lot's of calcium, zinc, etc to the max possible.

Current lv 27 (I'm going to see if it can learn better moves before I evolve it)
Stats:

Attack: 49

Defense: 39

Sp.Attack: 34

Sp.Defense: 42

Speed: 40

I think this is an awful stats by far for a Gible. -_-

I don't know, it lowers Def and raises Sp. Def. This would give it a little more coverage against Ice-types (who are mainly Special), and I don't think Def is too important for Gible.

It still probably would've been better if it had a Hasty or Jolly nature, though.

Thanks for agreeing with me. I think I shall try breed a lot of them to see if I can get the right nature.

I forgot though, if you breed a shiny and a normal pokemon how much of a chance will a hatched pokemon have? Also what's the medusa method again?

No added chance for a shiny if you breed a shiny. The Masuda Method is when you breed 2 Pokemon from different language games together. It increases the shiny rate by either 4 or 6 times, depending on the generation.
