It's a pretty cool live blog. I'm not a fan of the needless explanation of outdated breeding practices either but I have established a pretty easy solution to this problem. Don't read it

Is there an NPC that discusses the Destiny Knot changes or any of the other relevant stuff regarding IVs/breeding in these games? There has to be someone who mentions it somewhere, considering so many NPCs just give you little tidbits about mechanics.

The only way we learned about it was when some official guy posted a Tweet or something vaguely hinting at it. So...I doubt there's any NPC who says it.

IIRC, the tweet wasn't remotely vague. It outright told us the change.

Here's something off-topic for you all to answer: I've just started using the GTS to fill up my Pokedex, and realise that there have been inherent problems with hacks online. Obviously this is a 3DS title so how far have people got in terms of hacking the game? Am I remotely likely to get a hack before the Bank is released? I'm more concerned about something that'll corrupt my file but I believe the GTS checks them over for corrupt data and other obvious flaws.

yo, for those people who have added it, does anyone know how you can check your friend safari, other than getting hearsay from other people who use it?

I'm guessing your name is primordial, so:

Your type is Electric, and you have Stunfisk and Emolga so far. I can't see your 3rd mon

Does Destiny Knot breeding fix genders too? I've bred a box of Riolu, and they're male! On the flip side I have 3 more males with 5 31's (all but Def), all in Luxury Balls. No egg moves yet. But they'd make great fathers for the IVs alone.

No, I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Riolu are just very unlikely to be female.

I'm trying to get the 5 IVs on a female, so I can get a male with the egg moves I want on it.

So, as some of you may know, I'm MM hunting fir HA Volbeat, Meowstic, Gible. This will mean I will have many non-Shiny 5IV HA babies. Once I get my Wi-Fi back, will anyone want to obtain their own one?

I would be interested in one of all three, preferably females if you wouldn't mind.

Speaking of Madusa Method, today has to be my luckiest day ever. I’ve just finished work for Christmas and I was wondering what Pokémon game I should play now I’ve got more free time (whether to start a new game on HeartGold or Diamond or carry on breeding in X and Y).

I finally decided I’d try out this Madusa Method as I’d watched a video saying the odds of a shiny were something like 1 in 800 when I’d previously heard they were around 1,200. I thought with the new breeding mechanics this would finally be my chance to get a competitively viable shiny Pokémon.

I didn’t have a clue who to breed at first, but then I remembered I’d gotten a Larvitar with 4 perfect IVs off someone from Pokémon Showdown when I was looking for a Lum Berry. Shiny Tyranitar has always been a shiny form I’ve appreciated and although it’s not as cool as Shiny Gliscor I thought it’d make a good starting point.

I checked my box for the Larvitar only to realise it was from another English player so I wouldn’t get any Madusa benefit from it -.- I had a search on the GTS however and it wasn’t long until I obtained a Japanese Larvitar! It had 3 perfect IVs so it must have been someone’s breeding castaway and my existing Larvitar had 4 IVs which together meant that the offspring had a chance of 5 perfect IVs in everything sans for Special Attack.

With everything set I dropped them off at the daycare, picked up the offspring extremely quickly thanks to the same species – different trainers compatibility, and started cycling around the Eiffel Tower. 5 minutes later my first egg hatched into… wait for it…

Spoiler: show

I was so shocked I had to google whether Larvitar’s colour palette had changed because the difference between shiny and regular is quite subtle. She’s a girl which matches perfectly with her pink chest plate :3

I checked over her IVs and she has 31/31/31/31(WTF – neither parent had 31 Spa)/14/31. Although the Special Defence is disappointing I couldn’t have asked for a luckier hatch. The perfect Spa doesn’t do her any favours either as she has a Jolly Nature.

Another issue is that she doesn’t have Dragon Dance (even though her mother knew DDance, her dad had Pursuit, Iron Head, Stealth Rock and Curse which are all Egg Moves iirc so they must have taken precedence). I much prefer set-up sweepers to choice users but I think with Pursuit she’d work best as a Scarftar. I also thought about a utility set using Tyranitarite but I think that’s kind of a waste of a Jolly nature.

Exact same colouration as her normal form as far as I can see. They could've changed the chest pattern >>;

Although it's overdesigned I do love Mega Tyranitar.

X Nuzlocke Chapter Five - Grant.
Spoiler: show
Steeling my resolve to actually face down the second Gym, I start things off this time by backtracking to Route 8 and grinding there. Almost finished grinding, Lola falls to a critical Psywave from an Inkay after Pin Missile misses. Rest in peace. Heavily discouraged I return to town to pick up Jessica to fill the empty spot. My team is falling apart from poor luck and a few tough decisions, and I don't know if I'll be able to make it much farther. I manage to successfully grind the rest of the way and head to the second half of Route 8. After grabbing the Dowsing Machine, I face down a couple trainers. As I'm facing a Fisher a couple criticals from Icicle Spear in a row takes down Ralph, further crippling my team. Making it back to town, I replace Ralph with Pearl, as my choices continue to dwindle. After YET MORE grinding and Jessica evolving into a Diggersby (tho), I finally hit the Gym. After carefully working my way through the trainers, I eventually meet up with Grant, who Combusken solo's with incredible ease. I head into Route 10 to catch another Pokemon before I finish for now. I immediately find a Houndour who is quickly caught, I name her Jessabelle.

Jessabelle: Stats are, of course, shit. At least she's better than Pearl.

I finish plowing through Route 10 and decide to stop at Geosenge Town.
