Route 3? That's where your pokemon are in the level 60s, right? What a way to buff Serra.

Maybe Ame doesn't want to promote smoking and it doesn't really relate to a fire type leader much? Or maybe Charlotte let go of her habit for some reason.

Yep you're basically right. You can catch a sandshrew with no perfect ivs and breed it with a male rattata. If you are lucky then you will get 31 ivs in speed in one egg. But it can take a lot of time too. Also you can have a rattata with a perfect iv and give it power item too. For example rattata with 31 iv attack. You can give rattata power bracer and sandshrew power anklet and put both for breeding. After you have 31 ivs in speed, only then give power anklet to sandshrew for breeding. Also remember, a sandshrew that has 31 ivs in speed and 31 ivs in attack does not always give baby with both stats as 31 ivs. That is also dependent on luck. Your example is fully correct. Do your example, have patience and you'll have a perfect iv sandshrew.

I'll tell you how to breed. The Pokemon you want as perfect ivs has to be a female to breed. Look up who that pokemon's breeding partner is and get a male pokemon of that. If you get a perfect iv in one stat then make the Pokemon with the perfect iv hold the correct power item to transfer the stat. Power anklet is speed, power bracket is attack, power lens is sp attack etc. It's given in the information of the item. These items are only found in the Obsidia department store on maybe 5th or 6th floor. Once you have a pokemon with more than 3 perfect ivs, make the Pokemon hold an item called the destiny knot. It will transfer 5/6 of Pokemon's ivs onto the baby, giving you a higher chance of having a perfect iv baby. Go to Apophyll Academy and in the lava area catch a Macargo with the ability flame body. When you keep Macargo in your party then any eggs you have will hatch faster and save time. That's all you need to know. You can go to 7th street and change the nature of any pokemon with a heart scale so don't bother about that until you have your perfect iv pokemon.

Easy solution for you. How tedious do you find the game? Would you want a perfect IV pokemon so bad that you are ready to spend at least 6 hours in catching a female, getting a male and breeding it till it's perfect? If you are ready then no need for a mod because you want to experience the "difficulty". But if you only enjoy the story or like tough battles but don't have the time to prepare for them by doing time consuming stuff then the mod is perfect for you. Gym leaders use perfect IV pokemon so you using the mod is basically leveling the playing field. In that sense it is fair. But the difficulty of the game includes the fact that you don't get access to perfect IV pokemon so you have to struggle. If you find that not being able to use perfect IV pokemon in a basically competitive game is unfair then you could classify the difficulty as "artificial difficulty" and use the mod. If you think that pokemon showdown is bs and the proper way to play competitive is only by breeding pokemon and using only those pokemon in battles then don't use the mod but breed.

Use Kricketune to make her lead pokemon fall asleep. In that time let Swoobat use charge beam to raise sp attack. After both pokemon asleep, switch to Swampert and Air cutter, rock slide her team.

Behold, everyone's least favorite Champion, Alder. Some people may like his casual attitude and his laid back battle theme. But Cynthia literally spoiled everyone and now the expectations from a Champion is no less than a God. But what did gamefreak give us instead? Some main character from an anime looking dude who loses both his Champion battles! Unacceptable! Or....is it? Now these are the points as to why Alder gets to be super chill and relaxed as a Champion. This is a video from Game theory. This video, as the title suggests, shows how rich a Pokemon master can become by comparing pokemon money to real world money. The result? A 10 year old kid would be in debt of 4000 US Dollars if they decided to go on a Pokemon journey and beat the Champion. That's right. Being a Pokemon trainer is a really bad choice for a job. This leads me to conclude that pokemon battling is not for people who are poor. This video also gives a strong idea that the Pokemon league is actually a huge entertainment industry. People pay to watch matches and the elite four and champion get a cut from that. But how else do champions sustain themselves then? Let's look at them: Blue. His grandad is a world renowned professor. And he's 10. He helps his grandad in research. Professor Oak is happy with him. Safe to say that he gets all his daily life needs from professor Oak. Lance. If you played the original games, Lance was an elite four member. He barely scrapes through as a Champion. We can assume that he's barely making money via the entertainment industry. He also gives you a very low cash reward on winning further suggesting his poverty. Steven. He is the son of the President of Devon Corp, the owner of all the items sold in pokemarts. Plus he excavates stones like an archaeologist. Safe to say that he meets his daily needs just fine. Cynthia. She is a real mystery. Her hobby is traveling across the region researching legendary Pokemon. Her entire life is devoted to Pokemon. In the anime, we can see her struggling to decide between buying a sandwich and an ice cream from the team rocket stall. This shows that she actually cares about her finances and suggests that she's not too rich. But she has multiple contacts around the world. Including an elite four member of Unova, Catyln, who let's Cynthia stay at her villa for free. So yeah, she's kinda good. Iris. She's a pure dragon lover. She was born and raised in a village. She's not used to the rich life. She doesn't want a rich life. All she wants is more dragon pokemon. Okay to say that she would survive just fine without caring too much about daily expenses. Diantha. She's a straight up model. Modelling is a very high paid job. And she's the most popular in Kalos? Yeah she rakes in money like no tomorrow. This is further proved by the reward money given by her. Yep, it's the highest among all the Champions from every single generation. She's definitely good. Alola. The Alolan region builds a Pokemon league from ground up. Everyone shares everything they have. Nobody has a luxurious lifestyle. They're all nature fanatics because of all the greenery. Nobody cares about money. They survive barely and that's good enough. This brings us to Alder. What about him you ask? ALDER IS RICH AS FUCK You heard me. He's rolling in cash. He gives you the SECOND HIGHEST cash reward among every single Champion from all generations. And it's very very close to Diantha's reward. This shows that he is literally the most laid back guy ever. Combine this with the fact that the Pokemon league is an entertainment industry? Yeah he doesn't care. Now my second point. Alder's age. In Black2/White2, we see that Alder has a grandson called Jenga. A grandson. Let's see how old that makes Alder. Assuming he married at 21. Had a kid by 22/23. His son would have to be 21. So 23+21= 44 years old. If his son had a kid at 23 as well. And assuming Jenga is 10-11 years old. Alder's age= 44+2+11 = 57 years old. Alder is 57 years old. That's like old old. Blue is 10 and 15 in USUM. Lance might be 30. Steven might be 27. Cynthia might be 28. Iris might be 15 maybe? Diantha could be 26 because modelling. Alola is Alola. In comparison, 57 years! No wonder he got beaten twice. He's literally at the age of retirement. That's why he takes life so easy. So what happened in black/white and Black 2/White2? Unova is place of technology. The life in some places(Lenora's town) is super relaxed and in some places is full of rush(Castellia City). People are used to entertainment and a cool lifestyle. Due to such a lifestyle, it can be assumed that everyone in Unova is super chill. Alder was one trainer who valued experiences. He wanted to experience everything in life. Of course, including becoming the Champion. And that's just what he did. But after that what? Absolutely nothing that's what. Everyone is still happy and chill. There's no threat and Alder starts roaming about the region without caring about his Champion status because he wants a new experience. But when he's roaming around the region, team plasma incident happened. A person called N rose. You could call N an 'over the top pokemon activist' who fought for pokemon rights. Then came us, the player. That's like 2 super ultra serious characters who only want victory. This is obviously not the style of Unova. Nobody is serious in the region. Even gym leaders have jobs because there is so less activity (restaurant, museum, painter, model, miner, pilot, actor). Of course the entire events of the game took place. Alder had to return to the Champion hall so he could stop N. But of course he wasn't expecting a legendary Pokemon. His old age plus lax battle style completely got him bodied. And thus he decided to retire. But he knew it would be unfair to the player who worked so hard just to reach the top. He admires the player's dedication. And decides to remain Champion until the true victor of the Pokemon league takes his place. He of course gets bodied again. But he knew it was coming. He embraces his loss and gives the player a place in the hall of fame. Just like they deserved. In Black2/White2 he's already retired. He's just coaching young trainers and enjoying life. He knows his old age won't get him anywhere so he's chill. But notice how we never ever know why he's rich? What's his job? How did he become Champion? What was he like earlier? This is probably the least expanded Champion in the Pokemon universe. There are so many secrets to his life. So next time you see Alder, don't just dismiss him off as a useless guy. He may just be the most knowledgeable and powerful among all the Pokemon champions without you knowing it. His first battle with the player does start of with a level 72/62 pokemon after all....

Thanks guys. I'll finally have my female Charmander to breed.

Is this for episode 18? I haven't updated yet so it wouldn't work for me if it's episode 18.

Post this in the troubleshooting forum. It's a bug I think and someone will fix your save file for you.

Woa didn't know you could fish one up. I got my Charmander from a team Magma member. I was part of team Aqua and after finishing the entire quests, I went on 7th Street and talked to the Magma grunts. One of them gave me a Charmander I think.

Dragon pulse(level up)/Draco meteor(don't know where it's available) Hurricane Flamethrower Boom burst You can replace flamethrower with fly whenever you want because of the tm.

Your team is pretty weak against bug types. But you also need a Pokemon that hits hard. If you don't want too much hastle and want a flying type then get a Noivern. It's fast and does very good damage with choice specs. Plus it has a solid move pool and you can keep a slot empty for fly if you want. If you want a physical attacker then go for Crobat, Archeops or a Staraptor.
