A new type of battle are Inverse Battles. You can only play inverse battles with the person in the house on Route 18. Within Inverse Battles, Super-Effective Moves turn into Not Very Effective Moves, and vice-versa. This person uses different Pokemon everyday, but all of them will be fully EV Trained.
You will receive a prize that varies depending on how well you did in battle.
A new type of battle are Sky Battles. Only Flying-Type Pokemon and Pokemon with the Ability Levitate can participate in Sky Battles. However, not all Flying-Type Pokemon can participate in them. Besides Ground-Type Moves not working, Sky Battles are a lot like normal battles. If you can defeat all Sky Battle Trainers in the game, you will be given a medal.
A new type of battle are horde battles. These types of battles can be found in the wild. In horde battles, you will face five different Pokemon. Some hordes will contain five of the same Pokemon, while others will not. Some hordes will work together to defeat you (Miltank & Tauros), while others with fight against each other (Zangoose & Seviper). All horde Pokemon will be a lower levels, allowing the player to not be overpowered.
Horde Battles work a lot like Triple Battles. The best way to defeat all Pokemon in a horde is by using attacks, such as surf, that will hit multiple opponents. If you are trying to catch a specific Pokemon in the horde, it is best to defeat all the others before trying to do so.
Go to tremuis cave (the cave near the city with a big waterfall) and find a opening in it with no light. Go in and find zygard. Done.
Here are some methods of getting Shiny Pokemon...
1. Masuda Method
Obtain a Pokemon not from your country, and breed it with a Pokemon from your country. The chances of getting Shinies goes up a little.
Note: This takes FOREVER.
2. Pokemon Radar Chaining
This is only after beating the game. Go to Professor Sycamore's lab, and go to the 2nd Floor to the guy standing next to the computer showing images of the Pokemon Trubbish (Why Trubbish?!). He will give you the Poke Radar. Stand in a patch of grass (WALK there, NOT ROLLERSKATE.) and select the Poke Radar. Multiple patches of grass will shake, indicating where the Pokemon are hiding.
Note: DO NOT go to patches of grass near the edge of the tall grass area where you're standing, and DO NOT go to p..
If you do not plan on playing your game for a couple of days or just have nothing better to do... You can rack up tons of PM and BP by simply depositing EVERY Pokemon YOU OWN into the Pokemon Bank for a few days... This will allow you to rack up tons of BP so you can buy things such as Focus Sash or even the coveted Ability Capsule ... Otherwise you would have to battle for them and if you don't have a good team that can be very difficult...
Also, I highly recommend collecting the battle points over pokemiles because you can get tons of those by simply breeding a Pokemon (for shiny why not...) and wonder trading them at night... (if you wonder trade at night that means that you will likely be trading across time zones and therefore your Pokemon will travel farther henc..

If you talk to the man in the hotel in Coumarine City who claims to be the 'Game Director' when you have completed parts of the Pokedex you will see a diploma which can be viewed at any time in your house in Vaniville. Mew, Jirachi, Deoxys, Shaymin, Darkrai, Arceus, Keldeo, Meloetta, Genesect, Diancie, Hoopa, and Volcanion are not required for any of these. If you have owned the Pokemon at some point then that will suffice as being 'caught'.
Central Kalos Pokedex Diploma:
Catch ALL Pokemon in the Central Kalos Pokedex and talk with the Director.
Coastal Kalos Pokedex Diploma:
Catch ALL Pokemon in the Coastal Kalos Pokedex and talk with the Director.
Kalos Pokedex Diploma:

When you have several eggs from the breeders go to Prisim Tower in Lumiose City. Then when you are outside of the tower hold Left or Right to begin an infinite loop without worrying about random battles.
Check out the video below to get some tips on how to breed Pokemon.
Watch the video If you use an Opower when you are training in a restaurant in Lumiose you will discover that it will not run out after three minutes but instead work until you have completed the restaurant.
When you equip the Pokemon in front of the 3 star restaurant with the Amulet Coin ALL the Balm Mushrooms you get will be for profit.
Completing any of the following tasks will advance your Trainer Card colour from green to blue, then silver, then gold.
* Capture ALL Pokemon in the Kalos Pokedex.
* Get a 50-win streak in the Battle Maison.
* Defeat the Elite Four and Champion to enter the Hall of Fame.
After you have beaten the Elite Four go to Lumiose City and get the TMV pass. Then go to Kiloude City to access the Friend Safari at the top right corner of the map.
This item has the ability to increase your odds of finding Shiny Pokemon. Using the Shiny Charm in the wild will make your chances of finding them go from 1 in 4,096 to 1,365.3 which means it makes it approximately three times more likely. To get the Shiny Charm complete the National Pokedex and then visit Professor Sycamore.
After having your Mega Ring upgraded to find Mega Stones go to Frost Cavern. Behind the Abomasnow at the end of the cave you can pick up the Scizorite.
Note: Mega Stone is not always found.
After entering the Hall of Fame for the first time and leave your house Shauna will be there. She will ask to trade and will accept any Pokemon. The Pokemon you get in return is either Chespin, Fennekin, or Frankie. They are level 5 with their normal move set.
So, you have a Poke Radar, but you can't use it because of an error message. Now what? Well, first, you CANNOT use roller skates while using the Radar. Use the D-Pad (The arrows below the joystick) to walk normally. Then go into a patch of grass still walking. Select the Poke Radar from the bag. You will see some patches of grass rustling. Walk into the rustling grass and a Pokemon will appear! After the battle, more grass will shake. Keep walking into the patches and eventually there will be a chain of Pokemon of the same species. After 40 or more battles, eventually a SHINY Pokemon will appear! (Note: If the music is more upbeat, the chances of finding shinies will be higher.) (Another Note: Some rustling grass will not have pokemon. Be careful, because this will break up your chain re..
Once you gain access to the juices such as "rare soda, ultra rare soda, colorful shake, red, blue green... Etc." you can buy one a day for your Pokemon... But, what you don't know is that you can choose which juice you want to get...
Lets say your Pokemon is at level 95 and you want it level 100 without too much work and you want it now... But all the shoppe has been selling you is the $20,000 rare soda (+2 levels) (the price is directly related to the stat gain... Ie. 50,000 ultra rare soda will elevate level by 5) as long as you save the game before you ever enter the juice shoppe, you can pick what juice to get... If they don't have the juice you want... Press 'L+R+START+SELECT' (soft reset) and continue the game and go in again... Check what they have and if they still don..
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Krookodile is one of these Pokemon. Krookodile's Base Defense Stat has increased 10 Points, from 70 to 80. This is okay, I guess. An increase in attack or speed would have been better for Krookodile.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Scolipede is one of these Pokemon. Scolipede's Base Attack Stat has increased 10 Points, from 90 to 100. A great stat increase for Scolipede. It makes Speed Boost Scolipede even better.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Leavanny is one of these Pokemon. Leavanny's Base Special Defensive Stat has increased 10 Points, from 70 to 80. This isn't really a good stat increase for Leavanny. An attack stat increase would have been better, and would have made Chlorophyll Leavanny even better.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Seismitoad is one of these Pokemon. Seismitoad's Base Attack Stat has increased 10 Points, from 85 to 95. This is a decent increase for Seismitoad.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Gigalith is one of these Pokemon. Gigalith's Base Special Defense Stat has increased 10 Points, from 70 to 80. Gigalith is pretty terrible. A stat increase in any area won't change that.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Unfezant is one of these Pokemon. Unfezant's Base Attack Stat has increased 10 Points, from 105 to 115. This is a very good stat increase for Unfezant.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Stoutland is one of these Pokemon. Stoutland's Base Attack Stat has increased 10 Points, from 100 to 110. This is awesome. It makes Sand Rush Stoutland a beast.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Roserade is one of these Pokemon. Roserade's Base Defense Stat has increased 10 Points, from 55 to 65. This is not a good increase. It would have been better if an increase in Roserade's speed was given.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Staraptor is one of these Pokemon. Staraptor's Base Special Defense Stat has increased 10 Points, from 50 to 60. This does nothing for Staraptor. It would have been better if it's attack or speed had received an increase.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Exploud is one of these Pokemon. Exploud's Base Special Defense Stat has increased 10 Points, from 63 to 73. This doesn't do much for Exploud. It gives it a little less of a below average special defense stat.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Beautifly is one of these Pokemon. Beautifly's Base Special Attack Stat has increased 10 Points, from 90 to 100. This makes Beautifly an even better special attacker, but still very slow.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Jumpluff is one of these Pokemon. Jumpluff's Base Special Defense Stat has increased 10 Points, from 85 to 95. I guess this okay. It doesn't do much, but no 10 Point Base Stat Increase for Jumpluff would.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Azumarill is one of these Pokemon. Azumarill's Base Special Attack Stat has increased 10 Points, from 50 to 60. This is useless because Azumarill isn't a good attacker to begin with.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Bellossom is one of these Pokemon. Bellossom's Base Defense Stat has increased 10 Points, from 85 to 95. Not really a good stat increase. Bellossom could have used a boost to it's special attack, which would have made Chlorophyll Bellossom semi-decent.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Ampharos is one of these Pokemon. Ampharos' Base Defense Stat has increased 10 Points, from 75 to 85. I guess this is okay. Ampharos probably could have used a little extra special attack, but this is still okay.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Golem is one of these Pokemon. Golem's Base Attack Stat has increased 10 Points, from 110 to 120. This is probably the best stat increase Golem could have received. We all know Golem is more of a Defensive Pokemon than Offensive Pokemon. This allows Golem to hit harder, if it has the chance to.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Victreebel is one of these Pokemon. Victreebel's Base Special Defense Stat has increased 10 Points, from 60 to 70. This doesn't do much for Victreebel. It would have been better if it received an attack or special attack boost.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Alakazam is one of these Pokemon. Alakazam's Base Special Defense Stat has increased 10 Points, from 85 to 95. Everyone knows Alakazam is a pure special attacker. It would have been better if they increase it's base speed or special attack (something that would have made Alakazam even better). But, this is okay, I guess. Alakazam might be able to take an extra Shadowball now.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Poliwrath is one of these Pokemon. Poliwrath's Base Attack Stat has increased 10 Points, from 85 to 95. This makes Poliwrath a bit stronger, but it's attack is still only decent.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Vileplume is one of these Pokemon. Vileplume's Base Special Attack Stat has increased 10 Points, from 100 to 110. This is awesome. It makes Chlorophyll Vileplume fast and strong.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Wigglytuff is one of these Pokemon. Wigglytuff's Base Special Attack Stat has increased 10 Points, from 75 to 85. This is okay, I guess. It makes Wigglytuff a little more of an attacker.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Clefable is one of these Pokemon. Clefable's Base Special Attack Stat has increased 10 Points, from 85 to 95. This is a nice boost that makes Clefable hit harder.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Nidoking is one of these Pokemon. Nidoking's Base Attack Stat has increased 10 Points, from 92 to 102. This is a great boost for Nidoking. It makes Sheer Force Nidoking an even bigger threat.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Nidoqueen is one of these Pokemon. Nidoqueen's Base Attack Stat has increased 10 Points, from 82 to 92. This was probably the best base stat increase Nidoqueen could have received, since all of it's stats are mediocre.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Raichu is one of these Pokemon. Raichu's Base Speed Stat has increased 10 Points, from 100 to 110. This is a pretty good base stat increase. An increase in base attack or special attack might have been better, but this is still good.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Pikachu is one of these Pokemon. Pikachu's Base Defense Stat has increased 10 Points, from 30 to 40. Its Base Special Defense Stat also increased by 10 Points, from 40 to 50. This really doesn't do much for Pikachu; it still can be 1 Hit KO with ease.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Pidgeot is one of these Pokemon. Pidgeot's Base Speed Stat has increased 10 Points, from 91 to 101. Pidgeot could have used a stat increase in it's attack stat, but this is still okay. At least it gives Pidgeot an even higher chance of moving first in battle.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Beedrill is one of these Pokemon. Beedrill's Base Attack Stat has increased 10 Points, from 80 to 90. This makes Beedrill an even better attack Pokemon.
Many Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y have had their Stats updated. Butterfree is one of these Pokemon. Butterfree's Base Special Attack Stat has increased 10 Points, from 80 to 90. This makes Butterfree an even better special attacker.
First, put up a Haunter on the GTS and ask for another Haunter. When you get your Haunter, it will evolve into Gengar. To get the mega stone, have Gengar in your Pokedex and go to the Hex Maniac to the left of the Team Flare guy in Laverre City. She will give you the Gengar Stone! Yay!

If you chose Froakie as your Starter Pokemon, Moltres will begin roaming the Kalos Region after defeating the Elite Four. You can track it using your Pokedex. Unlike other games with roaming Pokemon, you will not be able to attack Moltres when in battle; it will flee before you can select a move.

If you chose Fennekin as your Starter Pokemon, Zapdos will begin roaming the Kalos Region after defeating the Elite Four. You can track it using your Pokedex.
