I´ll be available on and off for the next 12 hours. You don´t have to trade me anything in return (except of course a trash mon you don´t need anymore).

I´ll see what I can do. But it will have to wait until tomorrow. Should I not respond here in the next 14 hours, you can just contact me - sometimes I forget about things.

What do you need it for?

I can trade you one. Alternatively you can just buy vanilla ice until a blue moon pops out. Takes like 5 minutes.

Alright, I´ll request now. Edit: Thanks for the trade!

We can trade right now if you want. I´ll just need your name to request the trade. And you are sure you only want the magikarp?

That´s acceptable. And you are sure you don´t wanna give me little Mr. Poipole too? Anyways: Which Shinies would you like? You can click the link in my signature to find a list of Shinies I can offer. If you want something that´s not on the list, just mention it and I´ll see what I can do (with the exception of type:null and poipole ofc.)

What are its IVs?

You´re welcome! Have fun with Nox and Lily.

LilyX. And since you are a new member, I have a little surprise for you.

You don´t have to give me anything in return (except for some trash mons that we need to trade the Ralts/Gligar).

I know that they are quite rare since there´s only one per safe file. Still, if you are interested in giving yours away, I´ll give you five 5IV shiny per pokemon in return. This is not limited, I´m interested in multiple Poipoles and multiple Type: Nulls. (Please offer only Pokemon that were obtained legitimately)

I think I might have a few of those. Can´t guarantee nature though, because I don´t have enough heart scales left to change it.

I have a few boxes of 5 IV shinies. If I can make it, I´ll join you!

There are quite a few videos on how to solve the puzzle. Anyways, I could teach your Rotom.

You can get it in exchange for coins in the Game Corner.

I was wondering if there´s any way to get Seismic Toss/Body Slam on my Kangaskhan. In USUM it´s possible by transferring it from earlier generations. As such, I assume it´s impossible in Reborn - just wanted to make sure, since without these moves Kangaskhan is quite a lot weaker.

I should have a few.

I´ll see what I can do.

Do you mind posting your safe file?

As I stated above, a square with 4 in the center would not have sums of 15 but rather 12. So 9+2+1. But yes, as stated above also: It doesn´t work. I understood the puzzle the same way you did, but Lorisaur apparently tried an alternative - and I think it´s perfectly fine to explore other possibilities. To make it short: You are right, it is not possible - especially if you follow the instructions closely (Lorisaur: " I paied [sic] too little attention "). BUT: It´s not "really that simple" as you stated.

Your first point is just not correct in this case because he/she wasn´t talking about standard magic squares, but rather two special magic squares that between each other have to use the numbers from 1-9 twice. This includes using the 9s only in the square with the 6-center and the 1s only in the square with the 4-center. And your second point is just semantics. Arguing that something is a logic puzzle and not a math puzzle doesn´t make sense.

I read somewhere that Minccino/Espurr is actually not decided quite from the beginning but at a point later. About good early mons: your first mistake was picking Rowlet I think the most important one is easily Makuhita.

Resetting for good shinies isn´t worth it in Reborn. In the early stages of the game, your IVs don´t matter that much and in the later stages, you should have the shiny charm and just breed some perfect ones. Regarding your Rowlet: The IVs are clearly far above average and the nature isn´t super bad -> I would keep it.
