So the other day, now that I'm interested in making a good Secret Base and sharing it with you guys, I decided to visit the Lilycove Department Store on a whim, just to see what they had on sale. I had heard that on Saturdays they sell planks of wood that you can use to patch holes in floors, but I wondered if they might not have other deals on other days of the week. Who knows.
So I go over there, and I head straight to the 5th floor via elevator, and ... Spoiler: show Don't bother replying with Spoiler: show if I wanted to I'm perfectly capable of looking things up on Bulbapedia, Serebii, or any number of other resources online, no different from you guys. Keep it to yourselves. I'm going to have a lot of fun with this. This is a great find. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ In other news, Secret Base developments have been halted by a foray back over into Pokémon Y. I'm breeding the ultimates of my Story Mode team from Y, something I've been meaning to do since December 2013 but hadn't gotten around to until now. Once I have those guys bred, I'll trade them over to ORAS and probably set to work more seriously on developing that save file's trainer resources. (Finishing off the rest of the O-Powers, getting the Secret Base set up, etc.) I've been farming {item we've been discussing past few days} in Y, and have four or five copies now. I'll probably not bother with Contests at this point, then, and will just go ahead and trade {an item} over to Omega Ruby in the near future. Saves a lot of time, especially since I don't presently need anything else that completing the Contest circuit grants you.

Yeah, except for one, iirc they all appear outside their Gyms/the League?
idk, I might have just not found the last one, but nobody else did either so ._. |

I like your base. It's cute and cool rolled into one. It represents your interests well. I thought the lava carpet was cute too at first but it's already getting old. ^_^; Your base has a very pretty mix of reds and purples. I like how Wynaut features as your base's mascot, and how the player is informed. Spoiler: show Unfortunately there's not much challenge, despite the good moves on good Pokémon. I brought a gun (Dragon Dance Charizard X) to a knife fight and the A.I., despite doing everything perfectly with Wynaut to fight me, was screwed by its self-imposed Set battle rules (vs. the Shift rules we players normally all enjoy) -- once Encore ended, Charizard was at +4 to Speed and Attack and awaaaaay he went! But I'm actually pleased to see how far the A.I. has come since Hoenn. I just wish that the Secret Base A.I. and switching rules were the same as those featured in the Battle Maison. Would inject a little more challenge. Switch to your mega while I'm DDing, mega evolve, and attack me for a 2HKO before the spell breaks. I hope Gen 7 features WiFi co-op. I look forward to teaming up with Team Weezing in the future.

I was wrong about Blissey bases.
After scrounging up six Lucky Eggs (and a seventh just because), I was finally ready to give some of these Blissey bases a challenge. And it turns out that the 20,000 experience points people were talking about weren't the maximum like in the Battle Château -- they were the minimum. Coupling Blissey's base experience points with a Lucky Egg and a Lv.3 Exp.Point O-Power means you get over 58,000 experience points per KOed Blissey, which is nearly equivalent to the total amount of experience points gained from the best possible Furisode Girl fight. (One of Nicolette, Rosalie, Ione, or Sabine, who have three Lv.65 or so Audino, each of which awards roughly 18,000 experience points @ O-power Lv.3 @ Lucky Egg.) I haven't bothered with Pokémon-Amie here since that would be a further (and apparently quite unnecessary) timesink, but with Amie's friendship bonus to experience point gains the up-leveling would only go even quicker. It's insane. In a good way. For me personally, though, I'll say that I don't think I was wrong about horde battles. I really hate the hassle of going out to some route with a Sweet Scenter, using Sweet Scent, triggering a horde battle, sitting through the creature animations as their models load, having to select a wide attack, and having to manually keep track of how many EVs the Pokémon has gotten. You have to do the last part with Super Training modules too, somewhat, but it's a lot less bad. (It's a lot easier to keep track of where you are in an ST regimen without pen and paper.) For me personally, I think ST regimens are still the way to go. Which means I still need money for vitamins. Which means ORAS might still be letting me down there since I still haven't found anything that comes near to Diantha's ~$172,000 per fight or the Elite Four's ~$130,000 per fight (@ Amulet Coin @ Prize Power Lv.3). Might have to resort to the childhood tactic of farming the Elite Four for money. We'll see. But yeah ... Blissey bases ... holy shit are these much friendlier to my private life than the Château was. No having to scour rooms for Furisodes ... no having to curse at the RNG for giving me tons of Barons and Viscounts ... no having to settle for minor Furisodes because the RNG was too stingy to generate the major ones for me ... This is going to be a huge time saver.

Hordes are a pain but generally once you get the required pokemon it works for every time you want to do horde training
I really need in on Blissey bases but I haven't EV trained anything in a while because I'm aiming to fill the Pokedex (:o)

Huh I guess I never looked into O-Powers because I didn't want to make the game easier than it already is. But yeah if I ever get into breeding a competitive team then that does sound super helpful.

Yeah Money is really just too hard to come by.
What apparently works is activate Lv. 3 Money O-Power, get a Level 100 Smeargle with Happy Hour and Pay Day. Fly to Safari Zone, beat up Gentleman Walter, fly to North Route 104, beat up Lady Cindy, cycle down through Petalburg Woods to South Route 104, beat up Rich Boy Winston. Repeat ad infinitum. 250,000+ Money plus whatever you make through Pay Day in 3 minutes. Just have to move around a bit to recharge their Rematches. Also have to give Smeargle some Attack EVs so Pay Day actually deals damage. The problem is that a. I have no Smeargle b. I don't want to Level one 1to 100 if I did, c. I only have Prize Money O-Power Lv. 1, and d. I need to find a Secret Base with both Happy Hour and Pay Day to use Sketch on. |

I realized yesterday that the math is heavily in favor of horde battles when you are entering battle with 4+ babies on your squad who are all in need of that same EV. So for example, say I've got two Fletchling, a Zigzagoon, and a Gastly (as I do) and I'm wanting to get 252 Speed EVs for them (which I am). The breakdown is as follows: Time to get one (1) Pokémon from 0 EVs to 252 EVs in two stats:So effectively this means that if you're doing horde battles with 4+ babies, then each individual baby is virtually getting 252 x 2 EVs in about 11 minutes. Put another way, 44 minutes vs. 120 minutes means that horde battles would save me 76 minutes per quartet of Pokémon in need of full EV training. So I'm actually going to try out some horde battles for Attack (three Pokémon) and Speed (four Pokémon). I'm then going to continue to use horde battles for another Pokémon, Squirtle, whose ST mode IIRC is the worst (the machine gun-style yellow minis) and who needs both HP and SpDef (which is a pain in the ass to ST train since ST training awards better points the more Atk or SpAtk you've invested). And then I'll continue to use good ol' Super Training to get a fifth Pokémon's, Gastly's, SpAtk up to 252 since they have a good ST training mode and ~10 minutes (it goes faster as you EV train, so it's ~10 rather than ~15) is still better than ~22 minutes.

But if you weren't a breeder, and if you weren't a completionist, then you probably never bothered with O-Powers throughout the entirety of Pokémon X and Y. You wouldn't have needed to have Capture Power Lv.3 because, as a not completionist, you probably didn't bother with catching all the legendaries. (And besides: even if you did, XY didn't have that many capturable legendaries for you to be inconvenienced by anyway.) You wouldn't have needed Hatching Power Lv.3, Prize Power Lv.3, or Exp.Point Power Lv.3 because, as a not breeder, you didn't need help reducing the time it takes to hatch eggs, increasing the money gained from battles, or increasing the experience points gained from battles, all of which are of great use to a breeder who wants to create a squad of competitive Pokémon and raise them to Level 100 in as quick and efficient a manner as possible. Well now you know! And knowing's half the battle! You'll want to max out every possible O-Power in XY to Level 3, iirc, to unlock Hatching Power. In ORAS, I think you only need get them to Level 2 to cycle through the men who award various powers? (I know I don't have everything at Level 3 in ORAS right now yet already have every single possible O-Power in the game, having completed the O-Power sidequest.) The O-Powers you'll most want to have at Level 3 are:
Quote:
And when you say "$250,000 in three minutes," is that $250,000 just from defeating one trainer? Or is that $250,000 from defeating all three trainers? Because I'll take you up on that bet that you are not going through your prescribed course of Safari Zone, Walter, Rustboro, Route 104, Cindy, Petalburg Woods, Route 104, Winston in just three minutes, even with battle animations turned off, if you're KO'ing all these dudes by using Pay Day. ^^; Even using an assured OHKO move like Lv.100 Surf or Earthquake or some such, I'd think your recommended course would take the most competent trainers at least 90 to 120 seconds per trainer, so roughly 4.5 to 6 minutes total. If it's $250,000 gained from a single trainer, that's really good. The best XY offers is Diantha @ Lv.3 Prize Power @ Amulet Coin @ Happy Hour, which is ~$344,000. I don't have Happy Hour on XY, though, so my limit is ~$172,000. But Diantha spawns randomly, and the next best is Elite Four members (@ ~$260,000 maximum, and ~$130,000 for me) followed by gym leaders (@ ~$200,000 maximum, and ~$100,000 for me). XY still wins since a) Diantha offers more money than anyone we've discussed and b) XY gathers all of these cash cows under one roof in the Battle Château, but if ORAS at least provides three regenerable $250,000 battles then that's good. If it's $250,000 total gained from all three trainers, then yeesh, that's really bad. Without Happy Hour that falls to only $125,000. ... Which is less than I can get from a single E4 member in XY's Battle Château. Guess it's a good thing that I might be starting to do a little more horde training now, huh? Yikes. Going to have to scrimp and save if I want to hit $8.8 million like where I'm currently sitting in XY ...

Maths:
Gentleman Walter has a base giveout of 20k, with a 10% chance of giving a Nugget. Lady Cindy has a base givout of 11k, with a 10% chance of giving a Luxury Ball. Rich Boy Winston is the same as Cindy. That's 42k on a base. Happy Hour makes it 84. Amulet Coin makes it 168. O-Power makes it 336. I forgot the exact number last time, as it was supposed to be 350k, not 250k. And it is feasible to OHKO with a Smeargle if it has an Attack Boosting Nature, max Attack IVs, and maxed out Attack EVs. And that is the most. Gentleman Walter gives out the highest amount of money in the entire game, and the Elite Four gives out less than this. |

Can I order it by post? Will they deliver it to the door? It is interesting if the order can be made from all areas without any restriction https://postcodefinder.net/. If somebody ordered it by post, please share your experience. I prefer to buy in the usual shops but unfortunately, I do not have such an opportunity at the moment. Does courier service insure the parcel in case it is lost? Do they compensate for the whole value?
