    Pokeball Vivillon looks to be on its way. Already have one but cant hurt to get two more.

    Makes me wonder why they dont do all events like this.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,966 ✭✭✭✭PopePalpatine


    Because that would take away the reason for attending Pokemon events/movies. :pac:

    I wonder how pissed off you were when you got a Shiny Dratini in Black/White 2. I named mine Aemon.

    MY woman has it now, if ya don't breed/random it, it it just doesn have the same appeal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,478 ✭✭✭✭gnfnrhead


    If a friend deletes you can you still get the HA in their friend safari? I have to have caught easily 50 Dugtrio in one that I'm 99% sure has deleted me and not once have I gotten a HA. Usually I average about 1 in 5 being HA.

    Incredibly unlucky or can it no longer be done?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    don't they have to be online for you to get Hidden Ability?

    Is their third Pokémon unlocked? If not I don't think hidden abilities show up. It's either that or it's at a lower rate than it would be if he had beat the Elite Four and you were both online at the same time.

    The fact Dugtrio has 3 possible abilities means it would also take longer!

    *Tip: Use a Pokémon with trace ability (Ralts evolution line), it will save you time catching/checking each ones ability!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,478 ✭✭✭✭gnfnrhead


    The third isn't unlocked but I'm pretty sure I have gotten HA's from others that only have two unlocked. Have another couple that only have two so I'll check and see if I get any HA's from them. The online thing doesn't make a difference as most of the time I don't be online myself and still get the HA's.

    Is their an attack that does the same as trace? Could give it to my False Swipe/Soak/Thief Smeargle. Was thinking Spore originally as the fourth.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,779 ✭✭✭A Neurotic


    Skill Swap would do the job I suppose.

    My understanding was that HAs only became available after the other person had completed the game and you'd both been online at the same time at some point (you just have to have been online together once and then you'll always have access to the HA).


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,126 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    If I recall correctly any move that changes the enemy ability shows the original ability first before it changes, so alongside Role Play and Skill Swap, Entrainment, Simple Beam, and Worry Seed should all serve the purpose too. I think I used Worry Seed when I was hunting for a HA Nidoran during horde battles.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 160 ✭✭beaner09


    So maybe it's that because the other person hasn't beat the Elite 4, the HA rate is lower, and that coupled with Dugtrio having 3 abilities (and you having bad luck) has resulted in it taking so long.

    Regarding the other thing, I just put Gardervoir (or a Ralts) out first holding smoke ball, and when I see the Pokémon has the ability I want, I switch in my False Swipe Pokémon! If it doesn't have the right ability, run!

    Saw on twitter, apparently there's to be an event Pumpkaboo (Super sized) released over WiFi this month. Said it's available for the month of October, doesn't seem to be up yet though.

    Gamestop Ireland twitter told me they will be giving out the codes, going into town tomorrow to see if it's true!

    I have a GS not far from me in Galway, so I'll have a gander in there tomorrow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 160 ✭✭beaner09


    Went in today and the guy in the shop said they aren't getting them! Then checked their Twitter and the guy said Nintendo cancelled the event for Ireland. In reality though, he didn't know at first and spoofed his way through it at first, then had to back track!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    Well, saves me a trip at lunch time, but jesus Ninty... it's bordering on racism now. Portugal is getting these gengars. F'ing PORTUGAL.


  • Registered Users Posts: 482 ✭✭souleater3000


    So the Diancie event is Live, anybody got any ideas on how to get a code as Ireland is always screwed over with these?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 160 ✭✭beaner09

    There'll be none in Ireland, a UK code may work (the UK ORAS demo codes worked here) but you'd have to know someone over there or find a Facebook/Twitter page doing a giveaway! That or trade for a Diancie but you won't get the WonderCard thing then! (which is what I had to settle for)

    I manged to grab a code on Twitter on a page that was putting them up and it was 1st come 1st serve, got he last code there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,966 ✭✭✭✭PopePalpatine


    Dammit, I've been checking Reddit on /r/pokemonplaza and /r/pokemontrades for those codes.


  • Registered Users Posts: 482 ✭✭souleater3000


    https://twitter.com/nintyfeed

    Got it here, they said they cant reveal if they will be getting more codes, so there is a good chance they will.
    You just have to be ready to input the code and be very fast with it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,768 ✭✭✭raze_them_all_


    and id say we wont get the eon ticket either


  • Registered Users Posts: 482 ✭✭souleater3000

    Yeah we dont seem to be, 15 people get it in the UK and they have to pass it on via streetpass.

  • Registered Users Posts: 11,966 ✭✭✭✭PopePalpatine


    I hope there's someone with the ticket when I'm in Birmingham over Christmas.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 118 ✭✭Hears6


    Actually, I think we're more likely to get the eon ticket this way, well some of us if enough people actually street pass it and the amount of times someone can streetpass it isn't limited. Big downside would be that it should take a while for it to become widespread if it was to jump across the pond.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    You get a lot of UK streetpasses from relays in McDonalds or Starbucks or wherever it is in Liffey Valley, so I wouldn't worry too much unless it can't be sent by relay.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,966 ✭✭✭✭PopePalpatine


    Yeah, I've picked up a lot of Streetpass signals when I go to shopping centres. When I was in Birmingham I was getting at least 20 Streetpass hits a day when I went into the city centre.

    Love this wonder trading. Traded a level 1 Wurmple, got a shiny Mewtwo :P


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,126 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    If you send out stuff like Wurmple or Zigzagoon on the WT, you are the worst sort of person.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    I think the first time you send a Wurmple up on WT, no matter what comes back, a part of you is gone forever. Not a big part, but the part that matters most. Then comes a second Wurmple. A third. Then you start deleting their moves and changing their name to wURMPLE before you send them just to rub lemon juice in the wounds. It just gets easier and easier.

    I was actually sending back the pokemon i was getting. Started off with that Lucario you are given in the story.

    Shiny Skarmory came not long after too

    From now on just release any garbage you get, don't feed them back into the system! People wonder trading the ass from the first 5 routes destroyed the wonder trade in x&y. Also please dont ask for a Darkrai or something equally ridiculous for your random poké. You clog up the gts from being a useful device. /rant.

    I was thinking a sort of a tier system, where if you send out nothing but crap, you get put in a tier with all the other people that send out crap in return.

  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,126 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    Oh, yeah. Those are just ridiculous. I remember I was trying to get a Drilbur before, someone was looking for a 6IV legendary of some sort.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,966 ✭✭✭✭PopePalpatine


    I at least tried to do my bit to improve the situation by trading away my rarer Friend Safari catches.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 695 ✭✭✭T0001


    Lv. 3 Zigzagoon for a Lv. 35 Staraptor .... I try to be nice but it's hard sometimes :(

    Guys, been out of the loop for awhile. Did the Dianci event ever happen? What about the other two secret Pokemon?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 160 ✭✭beaner09


    Diancie happened but codes weren't available in shops in Ireland. The other 2 are still unreleased and only available through PKHex/Cyber Save Gadget or Powersaves!
