But if they can block legendaries being requested at that level, why not evolved Pokemon? Or is it something addressed in the 1.1 patch and what we are seeing is residual junk left over from 1.0 .... this is one of the same problems the previous Gens' GTS had, and while it is not as bad (better GTS tools / clean slate) it is still happening and it will continue to pile up.

I would try and get a shiny Diggersby because I love using him but trying to get one that has his HA (Huge power) would be the biggest pain in the ass

Nothing's better than Diggersby slapping the SHIT out of another mon.

Dude, trade me your Lv.100 Xerneas for my Lv.3 Scatterbug.

If you have both games, then such a trade could happen so that one side could have both Legendaries. Obviously, a one-sided deal would be done by those who have decided to play both X and Y. But a bigger question would be- why play both games?

What does that have to do with my GTS joke?
Also one game is your main, the other is used for a nuzlocke (or similar challenge) game.

So after being sweeped by a Klefki (T_T), I decided it was time to maybe switch up my team to deal with my glaring-strategic-black-hole weakness to Steel types.

Hey, whaddya know? While hunting for new Pokémon to add to my team, I found a Shiny! Tolerable nature! Tolerable IVs! The exact 'mon I was looking for!

Truly Arceus shines down on me this day.

I havent touched X since completing the Kalos pokedex, but seeing as burdboy started a tournament-type thingy I might incestuously breed myself a damn fine team for next time.

Battle Maison is so hard. First ten matches are easy but you get double BPs for a reason once your streak hits double digits. The opponents' Pokemon have this annoying tendency to "hang on" with just a sliver of HP and still land shots on your Pokemon, and since they use a variety of attacks, they'll probably find a mismatch. Also, they have Berries. I was fighting against a Bug-type Pokemon and given that Bugs have so many weaknesses, I was surprised to find one of the Battle Maison trainers had the EXACT Berry for the type of move I was planning to use and that dampened my super-effective move. If I didn't know any better, I would have thought that maybe the game just added that Berry at the last minute just to dampen the attack, right before I was going to use it. There is a diabolus ex machina you have to defeat if you want to reach 20 wins at the Battle Chateau.

I know that the only reward for fighting is more BP, but I still want to beat one of the Chatelains just to say that I did.

You're not doing the "super" challenges yet?
Clearing the 20 for the normal challenge is easy.

Fear the Hypno-Purrloin.....or just taunt it. It's not so bad once it's locked into attacking. Also...

I had no idea you could relearn egg moves once they were bred into a pokemon. Save me a ton of time finding that out.

I've been so lazy with my game lately. I'm gonna try to pick back up again.

I'll bet the Super Challenges are even worse. It just seems a little cheap that some opposing Pokemon get to hang on with a little bit of HP and it never seems that you get the same friendly treatment when you take the Maison challenges yourself. Of course, that's one of the video game cliches we've grown to hate since Final Fantasy- the enemies' moves always seem to work and when we use the same move, it usually doesn't have the same effectiveness. Also, if your opponent has Hypnosis or Yawn, you have to take them out as quickly as possible or your Pokemon becomes unusable, which is also the same when taking part in a linked battle.

The first challenge is really easy, I just used my original team (who are not ev trained or anything).
If the pokemon keep hanging on (provided they are not using a focus sash/band) then maybe you need to change your strategy and/or use stronger pokemon.

Man up, dude, you can do it. (Or should that be "mon up" ?)

You get double BP after ten battles because the AI is slowly notching up the difficulty (more-evolved Mons, etc.) the more you win. And of course the AI is going to have an interesting mix of attack elements at their disposal; you should too! Also note that double battles can be potentially more forgiving than singles because it's easier to nail weak points when you have two Pokemon on the field at a time instead of one (doubly so when you strike first).

There is a diabolus ex machina you have to defeat if you want to reach 20 wins at the Battle Chateau.

Not really. You can pretty much bet that any opponent with a 4x weakness will be carrying a Berry to match it. (I beat the Multi Battle challenge with Hawlucha and Megalucario; my NPC partner had a Raikou with an Air Balloon - he laughed off any attempts by opponents to go straight for his sole elemental weakness.)

Reportedly, the moves a Pokemon actually hatched with are permanently recorded in its metadata so the relearner can teach them back to you. (I think something similar applies to evolution by level, too.)

It's Pokemon month on FB. (just change your avatar to a Pokemon for December basically). The only FB trend I actually take part in and find cool. This year is Genesect. My fave of Unova and I think favorite of Pokemon in general.
