ORAS Wonder Trade% FAQ

Q: What are you playing on, it is emulator?
A: No, I play on a new3DSXL using software purchased from https://www.merki.net

Q: Why Play as the girl?
A: It makes the 2nd rival fight a lot easier because the grovyle has a lower sp def due to its nature if you pick the boy it has higher sp def

Q: What is Wonder Trade%?
A: The run starts as soon as you gain the access to use wonder trade (After the catching tutorial) I trade a pokemon that I catch in the wild then get a pokemon at random from wonder trade. I then decide if its good enough to do a run with and if I think I can beat the game with it I'll do a run!

Q: So you can use level 100s and legends?
A: The answer to this is technically yes but having a level 100 pokemon makes it have disobedience issues, Generally I wont attempt a run with any pokemon unless its under level 20
