>>27553050I'm down to just the event Pokemon, to complete my Living Dex. I do have Jirachi, 2 Arceus', Shaymin and Mew however.
>>27553172Don't look for trades of the GTS- it's full of 11 year olds offering '6IV' Zigzagoons for a Genesect because all the good trades get sniped quickly. Offer reasonable trades- Kadabra for Kadabra and it'll complete in a few minutes.
Strip mine your previous games, obviously.
Get OR or AS as they have fucking buckets full of legendaries after the E4.
It's quicker to breed Pokemon that evolve through happiness than to train one caught in the wild- a bred Woobat or Togepi will evolve at LV 17 with a Soothe Bell, which is like 5 fights in Victory Road.
