Poke Stuff (@salo, I guess?)

[Thaed]

So, I'm working on a living dex, and I have few scruples when it comes to obtaining event legendaries. A guy on black market trades said he'd gen me four events (which happens to be exactly the amount that I need) if I breed him a 5IV toxic spikes bankball protean Froakie. Now, here's the problem. He gave me a female Froakie in a friendball with toxic spikes, so that was sorted. Problem is, the Froakie has torrent instead of protean. So, I can pass on the friendball from the female Froakie, but the ability is wrong. Additionally, so far as I'm aware (I checked after breeding 15 of them), a male cannot pass down its hidden ability unless it is bred with a Ditto. So, the only way to breed a new Protean Froakie is to either find a female with its hidden ability (can't use bankball) or breed a male with its hidden ability with a Ditto (again, can't pass on bankball).

So, basically, am I missing something, or is this essentially impossible?

Males pass on hidden abilities too, but only with Ditto- Forget 5th gen entralink RNG, you can now pass down that hidden ability even if you're male. Note that pairing an Impostor Ditto with a non-hidden ability Pokemon will NOT generate a child with a hidden ability. Also, a hidden ability male will not pass down it's ability if it's paired with a regular female of the same species.

Female non-Ditto Pokemon now pass along their Pokeballs- This is a pretty minor change, but if you enjoy having matching / contrasting Pokeballs, your bred Pokemon can have them too. All female Pokemon will pass down their Pokeballs, unless it's a Ditto acting as a female. I recommend that if you're breeding anything that will eventually use Return when fully trained, you breed it in a Luxury Ball to get the happiness up very quickly.

Do you have a Friend Safari for Froakie? I probably have a mummy with Protean, but not in a Friend Ball. I have no idea how to get a Friend Ball in XY though...

Yeah, Friend Ball is the issue, pretty sure it can only be hacked onto a Froakie since they're from gen 2 (4), and you can't transfer items.

Might just ask the guy and hope that it was an honest mistake :/.

Sounds like hackery bullshit to me, if he gave you one in a Friend Ball to begin with.

What Legendaries do you need?

[Thaed]

Keldeo, Deoxys, Manaphy, Meloetta. The hackery involved in getting them doesn't really bother me given that we're at an inherently unfair advantage of obtaining them because we don't live in Japan.

Maybe I buy a 3DS this year. Or whatever revision I'm sure will be out by Pokeremakes.

Are X and Y the best ones to start with if I haven't really played since Gold / Silver? A lot's different. Best to jump in headfirst?

Also salo thanks for posting so I know the forum is still online.

I searched Pokemon looking for the humour thread. That was a hydroblast from the past. Mostly embarrassing Thaed quotes. Also that pun. I'm going to leave now. But first, here's a thing.
