[–]BlueDude35 18 points19 points ago

If it could only hold both the Lucky Egg and the Exp. Share.

[–]studmuffffffin 9 points10 points ago

That would be a cool ability. Being able to hold two items at once.

[–]RockingTheRitz 8 points9 points ago

It should be a hidden ability.

[–]studmuffffffin 0 points1 point ago

It would be amazing with kingdra or some other rester.

[–]Disgruntled__Goat 2 points3 points ago

Just have it hold the Lucky Egg and switch out first turn.

[–]AbsentReality 0 points1 point ago

That's what I do. That feel when your just hatched lvl 1 goes from lvl 1 to lvl 23 after one fight.

[–]Edge578 7 points8 points ago

If you're in BW, then go to Route 12 and fight Audinos. It's much much faster.

[–]Goose_Is_Awesome 5 points6 points ago

Dem HP EVs

[–]gelhardt 0 points1 point ago

Vitamins?

[–]HyzerFlip 1 point2 points ago

No

[–]Goose_Is_Awesome 1 point2 points ago

Doesn't fully EV train. Helps a shit ton, though.

[–]1LT_Obvious 5 points6 points ago

Dat EV loss

[–]Smartio 9 points10 points ago

EV train beforehand. I do this, only after I have them trained though.

[–]IsThisWhereANameGoes 1 point2 points ago

What's EV?

[–]HumanistGeek 1 point2 points ago

Effort Values. At the end of each battle, involved Pokemon get EV and experience. EV makes their stats more powerful, and experience is for leveling up. The amount of EV a battle rewards to totally dependent upon the opposing species. A Pokemon leveled with rare candies is weaker than a Pokemon leveled via hundreds of battles because the former lacks EV.

[–]IsThisWhereANameGoes -1 points0 points ago

Okay, so it's better to switch out then use exp share?

[–]HumanistGeek 1 point2 points ago

The Exp. Share gives out EVs too. Here's the bulbapedia page about EVs. I suggest reading it.

[–]IsThisWhereANameGoes 0 points1 point ago

Okay thanks.

[–]elshroom 0 points1 point ago

then what the hell is IV?! dammit i getting too old for this.

[–]HumanistGeek 0 points1 point ago

IVs (Individual Values) are kinda like a Pokemon's genes. They are randomly generated numbers used to determine each individual Pokemon's stats (HP, attack, defense, speed, special attack, and special defense). If one caught two Pokemon of the same species, they would probably have slightly different stats. This is because their IVs are different. If you want to learn more information about IVs, I suggest reading this.

What kind of sorcery is this??!

[–]elshroom 0 points1 point ago

GAH! black magic!!1

[–]ngamer32 2 points3 points ago

That's the exact face i have when i do this.

[–]RorschachsMask 4 points5 points ago

What? Magikarp is evolving!

[–]Qadd1000 0 points1 point ago

Is that pic from the shining?

[–]ProxyCare 8 points9 points ago

No good sir I believe that this gif is a scene from "anger management" staring adam sandler.

[–]Qadd1000 0 points1 point ago

Oh it looks like the scene from the shining when jack is hunting the kid outside, (if you have seen the movie)

[–]ProxyCare 0 points1 point ago

It does now that you mention it... This gif has now forever changed...

[–]AreWeNotMenOfScience 0 points1 point ago

He's way too old in that gif. This is him in The Shining. http://www.examiner.com/images/blog/wysiwyg/image/Jack_Nicholson_shining.jpg This is Anger Management. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qAtEZmpjltI/TiSBuHxkVTI/AAAAAAAA7FU/TLaQqIJkaP4/s1600/Nichols1.jpg

[–]Qadd1000 0 points1 point ago

I haven't seen the movie in a while...all i remember that it was fucking scary. I though it looked like jack, a bit.

[–]AreWeNotMenOfScience 0 points1 point ago

If you liked the movie I can't suggest the book enough. It's far scarier than the movie.

[–]Qadd1000 0 points1 point ago

The book...the book...NEVER TALK ABOUT THE BOOK AGAIN

[–]AreWeNotMenOfScience 0 points1 point ago

Dude, the topiary animals? I couldn't believe they cut that out of the movie. That scene is why I stopped reading one night and hid the book in the freezer.

[–]Qadd1000 0 points1 point ago

When i was watching the movie I was wondering where they were...

[–]worm_bagged -1 points0 points ago

Dat Gen 2 feel

[–]crug87 1 point2 points ago

I just purchased and started playing Black and White. Is this a thing in this generation?

[–]Richards345 1 point2 points ago

It's a thing in pretty much every gen with an exp. share.

[–]sodearc 0 points1 point ago

Even gen's without an exp share, just swap it out!

[–]Richards345 0 points1 point ago

Yep! That too.

[–]Eihhlin 1 point2 points ago

That was my face when I found out about Audinos.

[–]Idinko 0 points1 point ago

One time I did that with a level 1 pokemon... I sat there for a long time...

[–]fail_girl -1 points0 points ago

I'm more like: ohhhhh yeahhhh..

[–]dabear04 0 points1 point ago

Exp share is literally the only way I could get my dratini yo a point where it could defend itself

[–]Sam_Kablam 0 points1 point ago

My favorite is when you have a lvl 1 Pokemon straight from an egg and it grows 12 levels in one fight.

[–]GeneralHysterics 0 points1 point ago

  1. give it a lucky egg
  2. put it in front of party
  3. switch it out while fighting uber high level enemies
  4. No mystery here, go directly to profit
  5. profit

[–]yunlien -1 points0 points ago

how about this ?

[–]Richard_Kuklinski 0 points1 point ago

Really? This gets over 800 upvotes? What the fuck, /r/Pokemon.

[–]Valorum27 -3 points-2 points ago

I'm probably going to be downvoted to hell for this, but how the fuck is this content? This is just an overused gif with a title.
