For a few days now, I can't connect my wi-fi for my Moon cartridge for a few days. It keeps saying there is maintenance going on. I've checked today and it still says the same thing. Is there really maintenance going on? Or is it a personal problem?
I just tried it and it worked fine, but I've had that happen before. Are you pressing Enter or clicking on the button to sign in after you put in your info? IIRC it seemed to happen when I pressed Enter to sign in, but not if I clicked on the button.Is anyone else having trouble logging into the Pokémon Global Link? I'm using my correct username and password - I even reset my password just in case I'd forgot it - but each time I try to log in it just resets the screen and empties the text boxes. Doesn't log me in or even show me an error message.
I've always had best luck with Volcarona and other species that shoot the big, slow, powerful shots. Each fully charged shot does a ton of damage (can be >1000) once you've maxed (Special) Attack and Speed EVs, making most battles go super fast. Charge, shoot, repeat a few times and success. While I've never really noticed the shot's color, bulbapedia lists it as a "green" shot. Their list of all species with this type of shot is here.Is there any Pokémon that would subjectively be the best for completing Super Training regiments the fastest (for evo stones and other Secret ST regiment items)? I've been curious but haven't found anything via Google.
This question should be asked in the battle tree discussion thread directly. But the basic point of Timid Chansey is that the high Speed plays really well with Substitute (if you move first, you'll know exactly when to resub) and is especially helpful when facing OHKO move users. Also remember that since this Chansey runs Minimize, predicting when your Sub is going to get broken is difficult when going second, and so you risk either wasting limited Sub PP Subing on a turn where the foe's attack misses, or if you choose not to use Sub, you risk being stuck without a Sub up on the next turn if the foe's attack hits. 244 EVs get Chansey to 111 Speed, which easily outspeeds important OHKO users like Walrein4 and Articuno2. You could imagine stopping at 106 Speed (one point faster than Articuno2), but at that point, putting the small number of EVs you've saved into defenses does very little, while outrunning things in the 106-110 range is, while not perhaps absolutely essential, still very useful. The reason the set stops at 244 Speed EVs is that maxing to 252 puts Chansey at 112 Speed, which results in a lot of Speed ties. Speed ties are really bad when using Substitute, as they make predicting when to resub nearly impossible. You still tie with Clawitzer4 at 111, but that's not really a big deal, because if you look at its moveset, you'll see that Speed tie or no, Chansey always loses if it locks into Aura Sphere and wins otherwise. 252 EVs going into Defense is standard, since they enable Chansey to survive a number of physical attacks she otherwise wouldn't be able to, and with Chansey's base HP and Special Defense already so big, pumping lots of EVs into them has limited effect. The remaining few EVs go into Special Defense since they'll do more good there than boosting Chansey's off-the-charts HP.In the battle tree, what exactly does this chansey ev spread do? Ive seen it on the battle tree forums but i havent seen an explanation.

The last 5 unreleased Mega-Stones in Sun and Moon are: Altarianite, Ampharosite, Diancite, Latiasite and Latiosite.I'm curious: after Aggronite was released this morning, how many Mega Stones does that leave currently unreleased for Sun and Moon? I know the Latis are two of them.
I just updated this in the OP, but the list has been there for a while. There are still a couple which are not available via codes, but they seem to be going back over the ones which were from competitions and releasing them slowly but surely.I'm curious: after Aggronite was released this morning, how many Mega Stones does that leave currently unreleased for Sun and Moon?

You can get more FC by talking to the NPC's in Festival Plaza and guiding them to where they want to go as well as playing in missions. The Dancer in front of the castle gives three tickets a day.I've never messed around with Festival Plaza in the games (except to trade online), so I have no idea what I'm doing and have a few questions.
How do I get more FC?
What needs to be done to unlock the following places (or are they unlocked from the start)?
Thanks!
- Haunted Houses
- Lottery
- Café (the one that sells the Rare Buffet)
probably not, back in gen 4 the ai would almost never switch, hence the shenanigans people have used to get long streaks in the battle facilitiesI'm working on a Platinum Nuzlocke and have a plan to beat Cynthia. It involves spamming Captivate on Spiritomb with Lumineon, switching in a Baton Passer (Girafarig or Lopunny) to Agili-Pass to Gallade. Then use Swords Dance and sweep her team with Ice Punch/Close Combat/Leaf Blade. Will her Spiritomb switch with -6 SpA? I did this to Fantina's Mismagius with Staravia and she didn't switch
Theoretically probably yes, but as far as I'm aware there has been no research put into it at all and the wait times would be so ridiculously extortionate that you'd be better off just laddering normally and losing a streak to a bad matchup and starting over, rather than waiting weeks, months, or even years for a favourable one.In Emerald, is there a way to abuse the RNG to influence the Pokemon I face in Battle Frontier facilities?
There might be, but with Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon coming this November, and revealing at least two new formes that are either for Necrozma or Solgaleo and Lunala so far, the metagame could change again.Hello I am currently revisiting games for older Legendary's because they now can be perfectly used with Sun and Moon because of the Hyper Training. Now I am playing X and Alpha Sapphire but I am actually kind of confused with the SM meta and the XY meta. I can understand they are different because of buffs and Nerves, that I can understand. However I am doubting which Natures of the XY/ORAS Legendary's really should be used or not. According to Karxrida Paragon Knight (http://www.smogon.com/forums/thread...ad-before-posting.3523153/page-3#post-5891892) Post 59 those are the natures you should aim for. But I have compared some of them to the Sun and Moon meta and well while some of the natures are the same, at the same time they are completely different. So my Question is, is there a new List for which Natures I should aim for those Pokémon in the current (Sun and Moon) meta/competitive play?
My best advice is to look up the Pokemon you want on these statistics and aim for whichever nature is best according to that. For example, if you see this:Hello I am currently revisiting games for older Legendary's because they now can be perfectly used with Sun and Moon because of the Hyper Training.

then it means the last page of statistics was collected from players with Glicko ratings higher than 1825. Those players are more likely to be experienced and know what they're doing, so I think those statistics are a reliable way to determine which natures are good.

The Tapus and Ultra Beasts are technically not legendaries because their stats are too low. You also forgot Necrozma.bulu: jolly or adamant
fini: timid for singles, modest/bold for everything else. hp fire/electric/grass are good but mostly unnecessary
koko: timid and naive are fun, hp ice is good to bop them lando ts but if you're running specs dazzling gleam or something then you can blaze through ferro with hp fire
lele: timid or modest. hp fire is good in smogon tiers and vgc 17 but ground is recommended in battle spot as well for heatran.
nihilego: timid, hp ice or maybe fire if you hate steel types and you're too lazy to run dugtrio
buzzwole: impish or adamant. hidden power fairy is good on swords dance sets. i'm sorry
pheromosa: run naive or hasty if you want on mixed sets, modest is best on qd. hidden power electric is fun to slap mantine
xurkitree: timid hp ice. hp fire is another option if you feel like switching to dazzling gleam
kartana: jolly. if you run that timid kartana set then i'm going to track your ip and beat you up
celesteela: adamant/jolly/modest/timid for autotomize depending on what moves you like using, sassy and relaxed are the best natures for defensive sets
guzzlord: who knows what this thing does man??? the nu set is choice specs with modest so use that if you want, other options are fine and you can rarely go wrong by just using a nature that just decreases speed (unless you plan on using said specs set). doesn't need hidden power blah blah
