I recommend the Battle institute if you have a decent team. You will usually get 11-13 points per 5 battles which feel much quicker than the Maison and are much more fun IMO.

I'd still recommend Horde training even without Pokerus when you get the power items. Just use the Lapras you're given and use Surf should take out pretty much every type of horde. 25 EVs per horde is still a lot and if you get a streak of say 5 of the horde you want it'll take no time at all. It's just annoying when you want Speed EVs and keep running into Slowpoke hordes :p.
 
Moothead, say you need to train speed and attack or any other two at the same time on multiple pokes you can equip the speed boost item even while fighting attack ev pokemon and still get 20 speed evs and 5 attack evs. Get half way there, swap the power items round and you can max both pokes in 2 stats in one short sitting. Or more if you have more/multiples of power items.

Will give that a try later, just need a bit more grinding in Restaurant Le Wow to finish off the move sets for Tyranitar and Blaziken and I should be ready!

Getting 5 IVs on every Pokemon in my team is taking ages. So far I'd say it takes around 4-5 hours per Pokemon... :(

Ouch :eek: I've got 6 IVs on my Blaziken and Greninja but they don't really need them, you might as well just go for the 5 IVs you'll actually use. In fact, with a special attacker like Greninja, you're probably better off with 0 in attack in case you get confused, so you won't hit yourself so hard.

It might be worth trying to get a ditto safari and farming a 4 IV one? I'm not exactly sure how long it's taken me to breed my 5/6 IV pokes but I'd say it's roughly 1-2 hours, and I did a 5 IV Magikarp in about 45 minutes (had to breed about 20 of them, if that).

Did you breed that dratini with that ditto? I would've thought those two would've given you a 5 IV dratini pretty quickly.

The Ditto certainly helped a lot so it only took about 2 hours for him. My Greninja before that took around 6 hours. Rhyhorn (with dittos help) took about 4 hours. I'm in the middle of breeding bulbasaur at the moment with my 5 IV Rhyhorn (they're both in the monster egg group). Problem is that she won't pop out a female.

I think part of the trouble is whenever I hit 5 IV's the hidden abilities aren't successfully passed down. So I've quite a few 5 IV pokemon without the hidden abilities and 5 out of the 6 I'm training use hidden abilities lol :D

So, where can I find a website which gives me guide to the best teams /strategy /moves?

Smogon university

Pretty much all the pokemon worth using have full builds, strategy descriptions, counters, and partener advice. On their forums the "uncharted" section is for discussing new pokes, and changes to Gen VI - such as defog now removing hazards, the end of unlimited weather, and electric now being immune to paralysis

Finally, all 6 pokemon with 5 perfect IVs, hidden abilities and good natures :D Now it's time to EV train ha ha

:O

I'm close to getting my 4th, but getting the right nature is proving a pain.

You're using the Everstone, right? Even if you don't have a ditto safari, you could still catch some dittos from the Pokemon Village with a bunch of different natures and then use them with the Everstone to pass down the nature you want.

I think I'm either really lucky, or having that army of dittos makes a massive difference to breeding time as I managed to pump out 8 perfect pokes in a couple of days, including a couple of 6 IVs. Not meaning to gloat or anything but if you're going to be doing a lot of breeding, it might save time in the long run if you can farm a 4 IV ditto or two. They're pretty rare mind, think I filled up about 11 boxes with dittos and only got 3 of them. :p

Managed to get all the Power items last night. Did the normal Singles training in the Battle Maison first as I wanted to upgrade the Mega Ring, managed to beat that pretty easily with Mega Blaziken roflstomping everything and Tyranitar and Mawile backing up. Super Singles is a fair bit harder though, think the furthest I got was about Round 6 before I came up against a Gyrados which set up with Dragon Dance and wrecked me.
 
4 down, 2 to go. Does anyone have a vullaby/mandibuzz or a solar power helioptile?

EDIT: Just need the solar power (hidden ability) helioptile now :)

OMG!!! My Pokemiles kept disappearing so I googled it and found out they get transferred to the website if you have the auto-sync thingy on!

Turns out I had collected almost 20,000 pokemiles, enough to buy around 80 rare candies lol :p
 
Can people please add me and let me know if you do so I can add you back?

I've beat the elite four but don't have any friends who play Pokemon and therefore have no idea what's in my safari.

My friend code is 0946 - 2343 - 3497

Brilliant have added you. Has anyone got a ditto friend safari because i'm struggling to do any breeding above 2 IV's without one. Also looking for one with Froakie and fletchinder with hidden abilities.

If your interested let me know if you've added me :)
