I mean, there´s always the possibility that I made a logical error. If you are really interested in the topic, I´m sure there´s a lot of literature regarding the maths behind the Magic Square (or special versions of it, in your case).

There seems to be one important property to a magic square (ms): the sum of all squares devided by the number of squares is equal to the center-number As such, your center-4 magic square would need a sum of 36 and your center-6 magic square would need a sum of 54. Added together this would be a sum of 90 - so far it seems possible. The 4-ms would need a row/column/diagonal sum of 12 and the 6-ms would need one of 18. It follows, that the 4-ms needs all the 1s and 2s, the 6-ms on the other hand needs all the 9s and 8s. Looking at the 4ms: 4 + 1 + x = 12 -> the 4ms needs a 7 for every 1 it has. Same goes for 4+2+x=12 -> it needs a 6 for every 2 it has. And this is the point where it stops working, since you only have 2 6s. So as long as the mentioned property is mandatory, it doesn´t work. I wasn´t able to proof/find proof yet, that it is mandatory. It just seems intuitive by looking at proper magic squares. But should you be able to find proof that it is mandatory, it would equal proof that your initial idea doesn´t work.

I think especially Ep. 18 showed that Cain uses this kind of behaviour as a defense mechanism. And as such, it is not his entire personality. And while I agree, that until this point his character seems rather flat, I think regarding potential, he could be one of the deeper characters. And about you not getting accused of being homophobic: I don´t think it was ever mentioned that Cain is homosexual. Sexual innuendos and flirting aren´t necessarily an expression of being sexually interested in someone.

It actually changes a lot since the ratio of base stat/EVs is quite different. Lower level means base stats are less important -> you can use pokemon that wouldn´t be viable otherwise. Edit: One way to make lower levels happen would be to use Showdown for the tournament. This would also solve the problem of people not having the software to record the matches. Only issue would be that you don´t have to breed/train your mons.

And since you can use z-spash, I assume you have the mega-z ring and access to megas, correct? (When you post your safe file, just quote/mention me, so I get a notification)

Do you mind posting your safe file? I always like to look around what pokemon you have to work with in your boxes and then test some strategies with them. I´ll let you know once I find a way that works consistently.

You need a pokemon-specific megastone + a mega-z ring. http://pokemon-reborn.wikia.com/wiki/Mega-Z_Ring_Sidequest

You have to use the move in a battle vs. a wild pokemon of course.

Well, you can switch them out before you start the gauntlet. Or are you somehow stuck between two battles? And as others already mentioned: Aegislash and Heracross-mega work wonders in this battle. Combine them with healing items and they can do the entire battle on their own. If you still struggle to beat this part, you can upload your safe file and I´ll try to find a strategy that consistently works.

I know you can find some rare berries in the woods where you found the heracross/pinsir (the one that you could catch). Might have been custap/chesto berries, though. You can definitely buy them on the 10th floor.

You can ask for someone to add it to your game. That´s how I did it since I thought it was a bug. But as far as I know, missed items will be available later on, so waiting seems to be an option too.

The best way to get blue moon ice cream is to use the vending machine in the store south to the day care. Just safe in front of it and buy vanilla ice cream until a blue moon pops out. If you went a long time without receiving one, restart your game and start again (reseting doesn´t change the odds, it just means you´ll spend less money). It takes me usually 30-40 tries, which equals ~4 minutes.

You´re welcome! (The pokemon I gave you have quite good IVs except for Oshawott. So you might consider hatching them and breeding new eggs before you turn them in for the side quest) I´m not sure. I think the option to close it should be on the bottom right of the page.

Alright, you can go online, I´ll request the trade.

Not sure, I probably released Osha since I hate it. But I think I got a Charmander. Eww, I just found an Oshawott in my PC. I´ll just breed it.

In five minutes.

Yes! Sorry I didn´t respond. I usually need notifications or I forget

You´re welcome! And be careful with deleting the moves. Egg moves can´t be relearned.

I´ll request the trade in 1 minute from now.

Can give you one. Don´t need anything in return.

Iron head is available as tutor move. I can give you what you need.

Pretty sure I tried that and it didn´t work. Is the z-Crystal still there (in your bag) after taking it from the pokemon?

You are able to obtain it now in Ep. 18.

I can steal one from Indra the clown and give it to you...

Jup. Do you know if it´s just a joke or if it ever was in the game?
