Level-up move for Mantine (this is why you should link to the most evolved form Blue)

Also, pls stop with the mud sport. Tailwind >>>

^ that. (Both)

My mistake, it's also a level-up move for Mantyke. Although the point still stands. >.>

I think a level up move for Mantyke would be worth adding as an egg move. Not mud sport.

I vote tailwind over mud sport

No, on evolution Mantyke has no exclusive Lv Up moves so it would be a waste. I would rather do Splash than take away a move it otherwise cant get

Mantyke exclusives are only Signal Beam and Tailwind.

However Mantine learns Signal Beam via Lv Up so only Tailwind is an exclusive. Its a tutor move but it is useful still as Mantyke itself cannot use it with Eviolite unless its an EM as only Mantine gets it via tutors.

But so far looks like Tailwind is the way to go.

I feel the EMs are kinda safe but feel free to argue as still havent gotten it yet so not too late. Decided to go ahead as really wanted to play this luck game.

Found 4 imperfect Calms so far but I so far found a perfect Timid and a perfect Modest one if you guys want either of those as well?

Idk, I don't really see the merit in making a Modest one. I know I just suggested 4 Garchomp sets, but Mantine isn't really very good. I suppose a Specs set could be useful though.

Yeah I dont see it working well but it does have Swift Swim so thought it was at least worth a mention. Smogon does list it and as much as I dont really bring that up that means it might be useful.

Oh yeah, Swift Swim is a thing huh...

Well, with that in mind, I think maybe it would be at least worth consideration.

I'm getting alot of good Mantykes. Just no good Calm ones.

2x 5IV Timid
1x 6IV HP Electric Bold
2x 5IV Modest
1x 31/31/x/31/31/31 Shiny Gentle.

Finally got 5IV Calm

These are all the 5IV Spreads I've gotten. I have multiple Modest and Timid ones. Was wondering would you guys want one of these other nature? Not like anyone of you would dare try to rebreed this yourself for Mantyke.

Bold 31/31/31/30/31/31 HP Electric
Modest 31/x/31/31/31/31
Timid 31/x/31/31/31/31

Also found 2 MMd shinies while doing this. One turned out to be a 31/31/x/31/31/31 Gentle Mantyke. The other when I slowed down I was able to SR the save to change the parents and used the save to get a 31/31/31/31/31/29 Shellos which I deem as a usable competitive shiny b/c of its unique speed tier the speed loss will never matter. Though has nothing to do with Mantyke just want to share the bit of luck I had while breeding it.

6IV or bust!

Just wanted to let you guys know

B29 - 1,2 - Mantyke (♂) - Bold - Swift Swim - 31.31.31.30.31.31 - Electric - [3662]
~B29 - 1,3 - Mantyke (♂) - Timid - Swift Swim - 31.5.31.31.31.31 - Dark - [1599]

These are all my extra Mantykes (thanks to Dragon for checking them). One of them I removed to trade to a friend of mine from Serebii. Let me know if you want another one to go with the Calm. These are a pain to breed as Mantykes so even though it doesnt really warrant 2 sets its not easy to breed another one as breeding a good Mantyke is rare and I got lucky to get all of these good ones that we can choose from.

Breeding Mantyke instead of Mantine is useless anyway so thanks but no thanks
