Are ya' ready for MK11 kids?!
So I've pretty much finished the single player in AS sans a few legendaries (apparently Lugia can be caught at the abandoned ship? or is this triggered by an event?), and I'm thinking I should get into online battling but I have no idea how the economics work for EV training in the gen 6 meta lol. Where's the best place to get informed on such?

On a side note, anyone who played the original RSE and hasn't reached Groudon/Kyogre yet in OR/AS, mark my words, you'll 'gasm hard hearing the remixed theme for the battle.

Serebii.net for all the information you need.

I didn't play the original RSE and I normally roll my eyes when it comes to anything "legendary" in pokemon, but I was digging the music. That and Wally's theme when you battle him at Victory Road.

Well, all legendaries in ORAS come with 3 perfect IVs. This means the chance of catching one with 5 perfect IVs and a random special attack IV is:

(5C3/6C3)*((1/32)^2)*(3C2/4C2)

Normally the chance of getting the correct nature is 1/25, but having a synchroniser in the front of your party brings this up to 1/2

Hence the probability of any groundon you encounter being the right nature and IV spread is;

1/2*(5C3/6C3)*((1/32)^2)*(3C2/4C2)
or
o.5*(10/20)*(0.0009765625)*(3/6)
= 0.00122 or a 1 in 8192 chance

This means that to have a 95% chance of encountering at least one Groundon with those specifications, you'd have to encounter aproximately 24,500 Groundon.

Good luck.

Basically, use a masterball, hack or give up. Otherwise it's gonna take you forever.
I tried to tell him to give up a long time ago, he really wants it lol. Been catching that Groudon every day for weeks.

Is he at least using a master ball? And is he doing this post elite 4 so that he can skip the cut scene?
He finally just gave up today and killed it. He didn't have a master ball so he went through the trouble of putting it to sleep and false swipe. And it was pre-elite four.

I'm like Franco for the love of Christ you're never going to get that Groudon perfect an if you do it'll probably take a year lmao

I'm stuck on using Pokemon I like vs. Viable Pokemon.

And I'm salty Houndoom got Solar Power as his Mega ability instead of something better.
Solar Power actually isn't bad for him. He learns sunny day, so it's pretty much a setup a when he uses it. Or you can just use nasty plot, but then you can't run solar beam unless you have support. He's doing really well in this meta atm actually.

I find him getting out-sped and 1 hit KO'd too often, especially since he has to set-up sunny day.

There isn't really much that outspeeds him that I think of. There's greninja, lopunny, manectric,tflame, and scarfers/prioirty. However he deals with gallade, metagross, gardevoir if setup, gengar, thundurus. He's lretty anti meta. You dont need sunny day either. Nasty plot is just as good if not a little better.
