Can someone help me? I just got pokemon y (im very new to pokemon; ive only ever played Silver) and i traded my caterpie for a togepi in wonder trade. A passerby then offered me a level 100 hydreigon with Fly, Dragon Rush, Earthquake and Outrage for my togepi. I accepted. Please note that I'm 20 minutes into the game.
I think I just got an amazing deal... what just happened?

Yes, you got an amazing deal.

Unfortunately Hydreigon is horrible against fairies.

I kinda feel shitty though because im less than 20 minutes into the game and now I can feel like i can blast through at least 50% of the game with just this pokemon. Fuck.

You need to get the last badge for it to properly obey you anyway

It won't listen to you most of the time and battles will take just as long as with your normal mons.

I just got a brainwave. Is the ranking system in ranked battles determined by your pokemon or your time played etc? Because if its by time played, i reckon i could slay quite a few people

You've probably figured this out by now, but you can't actually use that Hydreigon to win any in-game battles. You don't have enough badges to train it.
You went from having a great fairy type to a non-functioning, and therefore useless pokemon. I'd say you got ripped-off.

Play through the game with Hydreigon, and record all the times it refuses to do what you want it. Then post it here for the lols

A mon of that level will only obey you if you have all the gym badges.

Don't bother with Hydreigon just now.

Just put it in the PC until you have all 8 badges, then it will listen to you.

Do nothing, fall asleep, select a random move. Probably takes even longer than a battle with your normal mons until it finally selects a move by itself.

1. Use the Hydreigon for emergencies (or after the 8th badge when it obeys you. Unless you like it disobeying and falling asleep on you!)

2. Catch some other Pokemon and build a team (don't be afraid to use Pokemon from other games!). If you are still unsure of what to do, use the EXP Share. It's the "training wheels" for anyone who wants an easy playthrough.

From single-player standpoint, you'll get used to it. From a competitive view however...

I don't blame you. You're going to need to get your head around IVs, EVs and Natures and shit. You'll also need to get used to what's popular at the moment.

>>18463927

It's not useless. It's just going to disobey you a lot. It will probably attack occasionally.

If you are going to wonder trade put something less useful up, you don't want to end with a level 5 froakie.

Nah.

Just store it until later.

You'd probably get something bad from wonder trading anyway.

Do not want. I watched a few x&y battles online and they were talking about sorts of nature. Seems pretty fucking unnecessary to me.

Just try to keep an open mind to it. It's actually quite simple.

See, like most RPGs, you have stats: HP, Attack, Defence, Special Attack, Special Defence, Speed.

Now certain natures will boost a stat and decrease a stat. For example, if you wanted a physical Machamp, you'd choose to make its nature Adamant because it increases the attack stat but decreases the special attack.

It's really simple to get certain natures onto Pokemon too. You just breed with an Everstone.

Honestly, if you're open to the adventure, it can be a pretty good ride.

Don't worry about natures, EVs, and IVs unless you want to get into PvP.

But let's be honest.. Why wouldn't you want to get into PvP? Online Pokemon battling is something we've all wanted for years.

Yeah sure. I mean, once i start to get more into the PvP scene i could just start using wikis and such. It seems like they're butchering the series with the mega-evolution bullshit though.
Anyways, thanks for the help guys.

Yep, use wikis. Hell, I still have to look up certain Pokemon's weaknesses even now.

The mega evolution thing is something everyone was sceptical of at first, but it's definitely a welcome addition to the series.
