Eh. I'm not a fan of Rest sets, myself

My new roommate loves Pokemon, which is nice. However, he has no idea how to train Pokemon. The amount of stupidity that comes out of his mouth when he tries to give me "Tips" is incredibly annoying.
Here's a few of his thoughts:
1. Shiny Pokemon are invariably stronger than normal ones (This is listed first because it WAS the case in Gen 2, but hasn't been so for the past decade)
2. Female Pokemon are weaker than male (Never true)
3. Some Pokemon have doubled stats when bred right (This one sounds like IVs, but a perfect IV doesn't double their stats (Noticeable increase though? Yes). He also doesn't know how to IV breed anyway (Me neither, but that's not the point >>))
4. Pokemon born of 2 Level 100 Pokemon are born stronger than average (Seriously)
5. Breeding 2 Pokemon of the same species has better results than with a Ditto (This one not so stupid, but he wouldn't believe me when I told him otherwise, coming up with a bullshit story about his RSE team that was soooo totes strong that could one shot anyone even double their level and he's totally not making things up)
6. Breeding a shiny doubles the odds of the baby being a shiny (Lots of people believe this, annoyingly, though...)
He also said something about natures, but that one I couldn't remember because he was spouting so much other nonsense...

I wouldn't be so peeved if he didn't just dismiss everything I said as I was ripping his team apart.
He wrote my victory off because I used defensive tactics than just going full sweepers, and that he'd win in an all out battle.

And then did you kick his ass with Sweepers prompting him to pack up his balls and go home like an angry 6-year-old?

[Matrixbeast]

I could've, but just hearing the anger against Milotic is music to my ears~
(That and he didn't want a rematch afterwards )

Honestly I perfectly breed & train my Pokémon (IV, EV, everything) yet I never play Pokémon against other people. I don't know why.

[Matrixbeast]

I attempted to IV breed, but I wasn't having any fun and I got bored. Now I tend to just breed for natures. Much simpler and it didn't make me want to throw my 3DS.
I know it means my Pokemon, even with max EVs will invariably be weaker, but eh. If I fought someone who was IV breeding, I doubt I'd stand much of a chance anyway since they'd probably be taking the game too seriously

[Kiwami]

Well I'm IV breeding and you would destroy me, I can tell you that much.

Breeding is really easy since the last generation though. You can get very good Ditto's for breeding through the Friend Safari and with that new item a child can inherit 5 IV's from the parents instead of the old 3. Breeding 5-6 IV's Pokémon is really easy and not very time consuming if you do it right. Also during the actual breeding part of it you can just watch TV or a movie while your doing it.

I just hate it when people brag about some of their Pokemon and claim that they can't be defeated.

I met a guy who told me that no one could take out his Mega Aggron. I accepted his challenge to prove him wrong.

I beat his Mega Aggron with a Stunfisk...

The guy obviously didn't EV train or else Aggron would've survived that Earth Power. The dude was silent for the rest of the day XD
