Do you guys like my new icon? :3 I was just messing about with my friends but when one told me that mine was the kawaiiest of all, I just had to use it for something.
Anyway ... things have been hectic here which is why I think I've sort of been neglecting my trade thread lately. To keep things more active, I've been thinking of doing something new. The Battle Spot is obviously my favourite metagame, and every time a new online competition is announced, a thread is created over at the forum to discuss it. I love looking at the sets that people post about wanting to use, so I was thinking that maybe I should try breeding Pokemon specifically for each competition to keep things fresh?
Or should I concentrate on breeding and training the most commonly used Battle Spot Pokemon first? The problem with the latter is, I will very definitely want to breed each and every one of them shiny because I am a masochist, but I so often get burnt out when I breed a dozen eggs with no matches :( Any thoughts?
#252. Treecko
| Nicknamed 'Leilani' | Hatched in Laverre City
Timid Nature | Overgrow | 31.15.30.30.31.30
Leaf Storm | Synthesis | Bullet Seed | Leech Seed

Bred by me, hatched by /u/Godreig. The nickname is Hawaiian for 'heavenly flowers', since Sceptile is king of the forest, but this Treecko is a lady.
#248. Tyranitar @ Lum Berry
| Nicknamed 'Julian' | Hatched in Granite Cave
Adamant Nature | Sand Stream | 31.31.31.01.31.31
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Crunch | Rock Slide | Dragon Dance | Pursuit
OT: Petunia | ID: 56221
Egg Moves: Assurance, Ancient Power
I personally prefer Protect over Pursuit since my favourite format doesn't (or shouldn't, no accounting for skill, I suppose) involve switching.
#254. Sceptile @ Sceptilite
| Nicknamed 'Leilani' | Hatched in Laverre City
Timid Nature | Overgrow | 31.15.30.30.31.30
Leaf Storm | Dragon Pulse | Giga Drain | Hidden Power Fire
EVs: 12 HP / 248 Sp Atk / 248 Spe
OT: Emani | ID: 45318
Egg Moves: Synthesis, Leech Seed, Bullet Seed
Sp Atk and Spe aren't fully invested since 4 EVs won't make any difference at level 50 with one point less to make for HP Fire.

I've also updated a thing about breeding: I now do those multiple 'spitback for spitback' trade thingies, on the condition that you don't mind clones. They'll all be flawless clones though. It's just that I don't have a lot of time (or patience) these days, so I'll just be breeding flawless using TMBM spreads I've locked into and cloning the flawless female. I know it's lazy, forgive me u_u You can find information about the TMBM spreads I use in post #17. And yeah, if your TSV matches those, you can ask me to trade you flawless eggs for you to hatch shiny (or for you to give to people you know match those TSVs).
