It's the potential for it to break the Evasion Clause I believe. Although it does have the ability to produce incredible buffs and the drops can be counteracted by using the right moves, (attack drop, using Swords Dance, or Power-up Punch or Bulk up or...) and then with the buffs it works absolute wonders on baton pasing teams, so if you get a drop in Special Defense baton pass out to whoever your Specially Defensive pokemon is on your team with Calm Mind or Amnesia to get read of the drop, for example.

3DS friend codes by Voyd on 2014-12-11 00:59:00 UTC Reply

So here I am with questions.

I have Pokémon Y version, and I've unlocked the Friend Safari. Unfortunately, I only have one 3DS friend: My brother. Thus, the only Friend Safari I have is a Bug-type safari from him.

Would anyone be willing to share their 3DS friend codes? Hey, maybe this could end up with a lot of people getting them.

Anyway, my own Friend Code is 1392-5826-5259, and my Nintendo username is Voyd.

Hoping to get a 2DS and X for Christmas, I'll tell you after then (hopefully). Until then I'm jealous (slightly)
Friend code! by doctorlit on 2014-12-11 05:44:00 UTC Reply

Name is doctorlit, code is 2277-7567-7254.

Hm. We need to get Maslab and Plat from the chatroom to join in . . .

I've only got two badges myself, so it'll be a while before I get to partake in the Friend Safari, but at least you guys can make use of my code. (I'm one of those weirdos who actually likes level-grinding, and does it one at a time, no experience sharing, Rare Candies are sell-high items to me. It takes me a while to get through an RPG.)

Also, anyone want a Machamp? I grinded a Machop into a Machoke for the Pokédex, but I want to use my Machamp from White Version instead. So the Machoke/Machamp is up for grabs, first come, first served.

By the way... by Voyd on 2014-12-11 15:27:00 UTC Reply

Which version do you have? I have plenty of things that you could breed/train, due to copious use of the GTS (I always have fair trades) and Wonder Trade.

I have Y version, but I've managed to get my grubby mitts on 281 breeds of Pokémon.

Granted, I still haven't transferred all of my Mons from HeartGold and Black, so I probably have way more.

I have Y. by doctorlit on 2014-12-12 06:01:00 UTC Reply

But I also have Sapphire, Platinum, SoulSilver, White and Black 2, so . . . I'm pretty set 'Dex-wise. Thanks for the offer, though.

So, I'm a Grass safari? Sweet! Grass is one of my favorite types. (Which is ironic, since in real life, plants are my most hated enemies.) Sorry about that third slot. Like I said, I play slow, so don't expect those to get filled in anytime soon. I didn't beat either Gen V story-line until after X and Y came out . . .
Breed Chikoritas. by Iximaz on 2014-12-11 18:41:00 UTC Reply

Those little green bean Pokémon will go like hotcakes on the GTS; that's how I completed my Kalos 'dex.

If you'd like, I could trade you a starting pair.

Chikorita? by Voyd on 2014-12-11 20:14:00 UTC Reply

Of all Pokémon, why Chikorita?

No idea. by Iximaz on 2014-12-11 21:10:00 UTC Reply

Probably because they're one of the harder-to-obtain starters? Either way, some fool traded a Chikorita to my RL friend for a Suicune, of all things.

Doc's Friend Safari by Voyd on 2014-12-11 15:22:00 UTC Reply

You have a Grass-type Friend Safari. The occupants are Tangela, Swadloon, and a bloody elusive third party that I haven't managed to find yet.

Bulbapedia knows why we can't find it. by Iximaz on 2014-12-11 15:29:00 UTC Reply

It's because you need to have entered the Hall of Fame before it shows up, though that doesn't explain why I couldn't find Voyd's third.

Maybe Slot 3 is just annoyingly rare? (nm) by Voyd on 2014-12-11 15:30:00 UTC Reply

That might be it. by Iximaz on 2014-12-11 15:33:00 UTC Reply

My brother nearly went crazy trying to find my third 'mon, though his and one of my real-life friends Safaris never gave me any trouble. All the others, though...

Re: 3DS friend codes by Tira on 2014-12-11 03:09:00 UTC Reply

My Friend Code is 3024-6553-0049, and my Mii's name is Dess.

Thanks for doing this! I don't actually have any 3DS friends, so I've never gotten to check out the Friend Safari.

Tira if your Friend Safari type is Poison and has Kakuna in it...would you be willing to add me? I have been looking for a Kakuna safari for several months now but I have never been able to find one.

my 3DS FC is 4399-0142-7083
my 3DS name is David

I'm willing to add you, if it means that much to you. I'm glad I can help you?

However, if you're interested in the PPC you should make an introduction thread on the Board, too.

ok and im about to add you and thank you so very much

Er, who are you? by eatpraylove on 2014-12-15 13:55:00 UTC Reply

Since your name doesn't show up in a Board search, I have to assume you're a newbie. In which case...

Hi, newbie! Have some movie-theater popcorn!

Tira's Friend Safari by Voyd on 2014-12-11 15:24:00 UTC Reply

You have a Poison-type Safari. The Pokémon I've managed to find are Kakuna and Venomoth.

Why is it that the only Safari where I've found all three Pokémon is my brother's? He has a Bug-type safari (which is hilariously fitting, he loves little critters) with Paras, Beautifly and Vivillon.

Thanks for the information! (nm) by Tira on 2014-12-11 15:53:00 UTC Reply

I have a Fighting-type Safari, with Mankey, Breloom, Throh.

By the way... by Voyd on 2014-12-11 01:41:00 UTC Reply

If you get the chance, can you let me know what my Friend Safari Pokémon are? My brother hasn't been to Kiloude City, and we're mailing his 2DS to Nintendo, so it's not like I can ask him.

Ice, Ice baby! by Iximaz on 2014-12-11 02:01:00 UTC Reply

The Pokémon are Sneasel (WOOT), Snover, and the third one is refusing to show up. Sorry, but I got bored running in the tall grass for so long. To be fair, I never found out one of my buddy's Pokémon after trying for an hour, so... yeah.

Heheheh by Voyd on 2014-12-11 02:11:00 UTC Reply

Is it strange that that's EXACTLY what I thought it would be?

Is the Mii's name Iximaz? (nm) by eatpraylove on 2014-12-11 01:31:00 UTC Reply

There we go, he relented. It's Sabrina. (nm) by Iximaz on 2014-12-11 01:47:00 UTC Reply
Uhh, I'll get back to you on that? by Iximaz on 2014-12-11 01:34:00 UTC Reply

My brother's the only one home right now and he's being a turd. I can't climb the stairs right now and I left my DS in my room.

But for what it's worth, look for either Iximaz, Rina, or Sabrina. I honestly don't remember what I put.

Ooo, friend codes! by eatpraylove on 2014-12-11 01:24:00 UTC Reply

Unfortunately, I don't have X/Y (yet), so I can't help you with the whole Friend Safari thing. My code is 0576-5807-4247, and my Mii's name is Sara. (Anyone reading this who plays Animal Crossing: New Leaf, my town is called Daisy if you wanna pay me a visit.)

EPL's Friend Safari by Voyd on 2014-12-11 01:39:00 UTC Reply

The Pokémon in your Safari are apparently of OMG proportions: Bibarel and Wartortle.

If you get X/Y and we're online at the same time, a Bibarel I catch in your Safari could have the most broken ability in the game, Moody.

Brobarels got banned from competitive thanks to Moody. by Iximaz on 2014-12-11 02:41:00 UTC Reply

Just further proof of how awesome they are. Don't. Diss. The Bidoofs.

How is Moody that good? by doctorlit on 2014-12-11 05:48:00 UTC Reply

It relies so much on luck to get useful buffs/not harmful drops. Seems like it wouldn't be successful often enough to warrant banning . . .

It's not so much the luck... by Storme Hawk on 2014-12-11 12:48:00 UTC Reply

It's the potential for it to break the Evasion Clause I believe. Although it does have the ability to produce incredible buffs and the drops can be counteracted by using the right moves, (attack drop, using Swords Dance, or Power-up Punch or Bulk up or...) and then with the buffs it works absolute wonders on baton pasing teams, so if you get a drop in Special Defense baton pass out to whoever your Specially Defensive pokemon is on your team with Calm Mind or Amnesia to get read of the drop, for example.

I like Bidoof BECAUSE he's so derpy looking. by Voyd on 2014-12-11 02:51:00 UTC Reply

I named mine Hodor.

You don't actually have to have the game; apparently your Friend Safari is Water-type. I'll let you know what the three Pokémon are, soon as I find out.
