Haha, I actually dumped a bunch of traded Pokemon into the bank, so I've been getting consistently worse prizes. [noparse]
[/noparse]I don't think it's realistic to aim for that, though. Even with a PC maxed out with traded Pokemon, you're looking at less than a 1/100 chance for something you can only try once a day.

Is it even possible to get a master ball from the lottery? I've one the 'first' prize a few times, and it's only a measly rare candy. :c The second and third prizes are much better (PP Max/PP up). Is there a 'grand' prize that's a Master ball or something?
On a related note, while wonder trading three boxes of not-shiny noibats yesterday, I received a shiny, level 100 metagross in return. It had 0 EVS.
>_>
<_<
TOTALLY LEGIT!
But, not complaining. ^^ Interesting to see that there are working hacks for pokemon creation in this gen though.

Yeah, it is. I'm guessing it'd be called a grand prize, like you said.
It's pretty lame that there's no way of telling if a Pokemon's legitimate or not, unless it's obvious. That's the worst part about it, the fact that it spreads and people (like me~) can be none the wiser.

Yep. I actually won a master ball from there. So I now have 2 of it. Doing it daily for a chance to get another. Who knows. Lol. And wonder trading is a good way to increase the chances. That and it actually helps me fill in my dex without having to catch anything.
I'm about 3 fourths done with the kalos dex. Around 100 pokemon left to get/evolve/breed. Lol.
And speaking of which. I just got an extra moon stone. I love my linoone. Haha. I'm planning on raising a whole team of pickupers just to get items and that spare leftover.
My problem is the dusk and shiny stones. It's hard to get them in super training. And it's even more random in air balloon popping.
And I know how ye guys feel. I am got a level 5 palkia from the gts. I'm pretty sure ye can't get one at that level.

Once upon a time in Gen IV, there was a limited event in which the player could choose between a Level 1 Palkia, Dialga or Giratina.
But I'm still gonna guess it ain't legitimate.

If I heard correctly, you need an event Arceus to unlock the event. Beyond that, the DPP legendary is gifted in a perfectly normal manner.

Now this is the coolest thing I've ever seen from GameFreak.
They're now listing the top 12 Pokemon used in ranking battle formats.
You can click the Pokemon and see their most common moves, their most frequent team mates, their most common abilities, their most common natures, and their most common items.
There's two other tabs; one that shows you the most common moves that winning Pokemon have as well as the Pokemon they're most effective against, and one that shows you the most common moves the Pokemon loses to as well as the Pokemon that beat them.
You can actually access other Pokemon too through the search feature.

That looks cool. I can search how my pangoro fares. XD
And looks like the top pokemon it defeats is kangaskhan.
@dr dingo. Oh. I didn't know that. Makes me wish I didn't gts it off for another palkia then. Oh well. No wonder I see lots of low level palkia and dialga in the gts. I never stopped to think that those might somehow in a small chance be legit.

I was kind of forcred to use my master ball on Moltres in Y >__> I went into the cave without saving. I figured it would just sit there like any other legendary Pokémon.
But no! Lavados has to be special! XP Empty cave, I go in further, it swoops down from the ceiling. I had no way to reliably hit it without knocking it out by accident so I went for the master ball...
As for Twitch Plays Pokémon, there was a Strawpoll for some time where they wanted to decide what to do with the master ball. The result was to catch Zapdos which really is a rather smart move. A strong electro typ is definitely a good idea.
And they restored LORD HELIX! O_O

That ain't gonna be a problem on Twitch, shinies didn't exist until Gen 3!
I catch all my shinies in Premier Balls and Luxury Balls. It's pretty useful that I have a Level 100 Farfetch'd with False Swipe that I trained up as I went through the game!
Maybe it's about time I handed that honour to my Swellow now. It will be my Level 94 Flying and False-swipey Pokemon!

Gamebreaker much?
BTW, I just deposited two of my Lucario (mother is the HG Lucario I beat Red with; father is the XY Lucario I beat Diantha with) in the Daycare and no sooner do I walk out the door but THEY'VE ALREADY PRODUCED AN EGG!?! Seriously, you two, I know it's your first time and all but shouldn't you get to know each other better first? Show a little self-control!

Shaymin doesn't count towards completion though, so you're good. [noparse]
[/noparse]I don't have Shaymin either, since I skipped Platinum. It stinks, 'cause the Sky form's so gosh darn cute!

I hate the perfectionist in me. I have actually been buying off all the platinum games I have seen around town in an attempt to get it. I think I may have to trade off meloetta to try and get it. But I still got a while before I have to resort to that. I still have 350 more pokemons to earn first!

Hamburger time.
What do you expect? Lucarios are horn-dogs. :V

I wouldn't trade an event Pokemon for another one, unless I had a spare... Especially if you're planning to transfer to future generations. Personally I'm just gonna wait it out for another Shaymin event. They're giving away Celebi right now, so who knows.

My shaymin hack made it through the bank >w>
I wouldn't dare use it online though, never ever use legendaries in online stuff. It makes the game too easy and stuff.
I think what made the hack work was that I ARed it in Platinum, using a fateful encounter shaymin code (I just wanted a sky shaymin to play with)

They give celebis away like candy! I am a bit skeptical of trading away most of my legends tho. If I get every
Guy except shaymin I think I might have to do the trade tho. I'm by no means moving fast at this whole Pokemon evolving thing.

Whoa, according to Bulbapedia, some of the locations in Unova are based on New Jersey, not just New York. The places are still very far from where I am, but it's cool that my state's actually represented in the games.
