Speaking of glitches, I threw an Ultra Ball at Elgyem and it wiggled once, then the little stars came out (indicating it had been caught). Does anyone know why it did this, seen something similar? Am I missing some sort of in game thing?
P.S. I wasn't hallucinating :D

Critical damn capture, its a new mechanic its been said already like 10 times through this thread, here:
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Catch_rate#Critical_capture
It basically boosts your chances of catching a pokemon, because when you throw a pokeball, it geneartes 4 numbers, and those 4 numbers have to be below a certain value calculated via catch rate and status etc.
Critical capture only generated 2 numbers so your chance is increased. It doesnt guarentee capture though

Speaking of glitches, I was flipping through my party comparing stats and my Durant showed its backsprite on the summary screen. I went back and forth between Durant and the other pokes, and they were all frontsprites. I saved, turned it off, and it was normal the next time I played.
If you tap the pokemon on it's summary screen, it'll flip to it's backsprite.
Thank you! I seem to have missed it amongst the 2000+ posts here so far :D
I've been having a breeze with the new EV training mechansims, because I can tell when my Pokemon finishes gaining them! Just raised my Quiet Shiny Chimecho in Celestial Tower and I didn't even have to count. Save+check after a few battles. Also, does anyone know where to use Flash/Strength in the centre of the Abyssal Ruins? I've made it to Floor 2 but I can't get past it...grrrr...
Ev training escavalier in defence is such a chore. LEVEL 70, and is still outsped by fucking durant. (mind you i did have power belt)
ya volcarona is amazing for breeding. its strong yet usefull lol
So I just managed to hatch a 31/0-1/31/31/31/31 Bold Solosis with Overcoat.
I think I'm going to shoot something.

Well, at least it made a good parent. Have my 31/16/31/31/31/6 Magic Guard Solosis now, so at least that went fairly quickly. And for once with this egg group, it actually ended up male in the end. I have a 31/21/27/31/31/31 Mismagius, the earlier Solosis, a 31/31/31/31/31/29 Jolly Solosis, and my 10(ugh)/31/31/31/30/31 Gengar, all ladies.
Now, my experience trying to breed an Azumarill...that was torture.

What careful breeding? It's all percentages, and the RNG can screw you to hell whenever it feels like it. Honestly, I wish that the items for keeping IVs and natures worked higher than 50% of the time. Seems so pointless after I've bred a few dozen eggs all with differing natures than the one I want that I've Everstoned. Or getting a correct nature but not getting the IVs I've tried to pass down with the correct item for another few dozen eggs.
25 IVs is usable, you should stick with it. Also, at least you had better luck than me trying to breed a Timid Snivy. I got one with 31s in SpA, Def, and Speed, and 29-30 in the other stats. Except for SpDef. That was a 0. I was incredibly pissed.
I had a bit more success than you. Here's the Snivy I hatched last night: 26-27/31/24/30/15/30, Timid. Its Hidden Power was Fire with base 67 power, but I was very disappointed by the Special Defense IV. Even though the mother Snivy had the perfect Special Defense IV, it wasn't passed down.
Okay then, thank you. Now it's a Vaporeon with 248 HP/216 Def/ 44 Sp.Def
