The ORAS Story Legend Soft Reset Thread

First topic message reminder :

To all those playing ORAS:

It appears that the following applies to the Latias/Latios that you get as part of the story. The nature can be influenced by a Synchronizer. So despite the battle beforehand, eliminating the chance for a different nature is well worth it. This is probably the best chance at getting a good legendary on your own game that we've had thus far in Pokemon. I will be Soft Resetting (SR'ing), let us know if you want to give it a try too and we'll get you set up with a Synchronizer, and make sure you post here before you start so we don't overlap sets. Don't forget, the more that contribute, the better off we all are.

UPDATE: This topic is being broadened to include ALL ORAS Legends THAT MUST BE CAPTURED TO PROGRESS THE STORY. This means that if I'm not mistaken, that is 5 Pokemon that will be covered in this thread. If everyone that would like to Soft Reset for the other legends could please refrain until the breeding project is done, that would be great. (Wink Wink)

SUPER UPDATE: It has been brought to my attention by more than one person that Kyogre/Groudon will reappear in the same location later in the game if you knock it out during your first encounter. If this is true, I would suggest doing that, because the second encounter will be without all of the cutscenes. Proceed at your own risk, however, I cannot confirm this to be true. But, even if this isn't true, there are bound to be lots of people that will have perfect ones, and I have been building up my legendary collection lately, so we can surely get another.

I would suggest a spread with 5 really strong IV's. Not necessarily perfect, but darn near it.

Oh, I almost forgot, don't be afraid to use this Latias/Latios, we can always clear it's IV's later. Or, if you want, use Super Training (That's what I'm going to do) to get the set as soon as you get it. post here and we'll decide on IV's for the set.

First of all, I have no idea how you found this little hole in the wall, but congrats for that.

To address the question, I'll ask another. Do you mean another pokemon with similar stars to judge the stats against? Or like a ditto to get the actual stat values without having to catch it?

I've actually been lurking the site for a while already.

Yup, I meant the former.

I think he means to check the legend's stats in battle?

You can only do that with HP and Speed. With set damage moves and having a Pokemon that is 1 point slower than the max speed of that legend your SRing. The other stats you can't know for sure because of min/max damage.

Imo specific Smeargles for each legend are the best for that but since you only have ORAS a Pokemon with speed that can be similar to the legend your fighting that learns Night Shade/Psywave/Seismic Toss is probably your best bet.

Thanks for the tip!

Also guys according to serebii for those in US (as well as other countries). Gamestops will be distributing Hoopa codes later this month.

Sadly for me the Gamestop near I live was one of the one they closed down

Hopefully one of you is lucky enough to get one.

I've got like 10 in range of me. I'll hit them all and pass out codes if you guys want.

10?! x.x GameStop feast o.o

Bunsel, we're watching the Cardinals! Join the chat

Can't. I'm at work lol. But you guys better be ready to keep me out of depression until next baseball season.

Well it looks like its not Gamestop but McDonalds that will be distributing the Hoopa codes in the US. Will start on November 27.

Well, add that to all of the other reasons to go to McDonalds and I've got one reason to go to McDonald's.

I don't eat Big Micks. Let's make that clear. I prefer my buns with sesame seeds.

Was trying to get Master Rank ribbons for my Porygon. Got this today since it was forced.

Timid 31/4-5/30-31/31/31/30 Cosplay Pikachu HP Psychic. No Everstone so it's pretty solid.

Remove my old Pikachu. It was lost in corruption.
