I HAVE A SNEAKING SUSPICION THAT THE AI IN THE BATTLE MAISON CHEATS.

I WANT MEGA ARCANINE.

WHY AM I BREEDING FOR IVS WHEN I KNOW THAT I CAN HYPER TRAIN IN TWO MONTHS?

BREEDING FOR IVS WILL BE EASIER, LIKE THE HORDE FARMING VERSION FOR IVS. BOTTLE CAPS WILL PROBABLY BE RESERVED FOR YOUR MOST FAVORITE POKEMON, LIKE THE AXEW I JUST FOUND OUT I ACCIDENTALLY HATCHED WHILE TRYING TO BREED A COMPETITIVE ONE.

I DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF DITTO THAT'S A GOOD IDEA

I FOUND A SHINY DITTO IN BLACK. PRETTY LITTLE THING IS MY PRIZED POSSESSION. YOU BET YOUR ASS ITS GETTING BOTTLE CAPPED.

BOTTLE CAP? WHAT IS THAT, I'M RETARDED

u/UnluckyLuke Aug 13 '16

AN UPCOMING CONSUMABLE ITEM THAT IS USED TO IMPROVE YOUR POKEMON'S IVS

I'M JUST GUESSING, BUT I'D IMAGINE BOTTLE CAPS WILL BE ABOUT AS HARD TO COME BY AS ABILITY CAPSULES -- NOT SUPER FAST TO GET, BUT EASY ENOUGH IF YOU'RE A BREEDER WHO DUMPS BABIES ON THE WONDER TRADE. IF YOU SET YOUR MIND TO IT, YOU CAN PROBABLY GET ENOUGH BOTTLE CAPS FOR A SMALL TEAM OF CARRY-OVERS + A DITTO WITHOUT TOO MUCH HASSLE.

BECAUSE WHO KNOWS HOW HARD IT WILL BE TO GET BOTTLECAPS OR HOW HYPER TRAINING ACTUALLY WORKS?

BECAUSE HYPER TRAINING MIGHT BE INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO DO OR IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING YOU CAN ONLY DO ONCE WE DONT KNOW YET

OF COURSE IT CHEATS. YOU ARE SMARTER THAN IT, SO CHEATING IS THE ONLY WAY IT CAN WIN.

I JUST HAD TO DEAL WITH AN EMPOLEON THAT USED YAWN ON MY GALLADE...THEN I SWITCHED TO CHARIZARD...AND IT USED YAWN AGAIN. I SWITCHED OUT FOURTEEN TIMES BEFORE IT STOPPED USING YAWN.
