Welp, Ven's got a Delta Onix now, and he did so without much difficulty at all! Now that is what I call a come back! How much XP does Ven and Apsis get for it? 1 for both of us, since we creamed it without much trouble?

Also, @Spiritmon I have another idea. Since both our Pokémon are going to be onery as all get out when regardless of their evo, how about we first take Scyther and Onix to the Disobenance Training Camp (They both have 3 Disobedience, which is the cut off point), and lower their Disobedience before we trade them? That way Scizors only has 1 Disobedience and Delta Steelix has 3, so we both would stand to benefit from this!

I only have enough muns to cover my Steel Coat, though, so you would either have to cover the cost of both Pokémon yourself, or only Delta Steelix if you just want to save costs.

Oh, and how much does camping cost again in time and Poke?

You might want to save that for afterwards, actually.  Trading without the pokemon's consent of being traded to someone else has a -1 penalty to Happiness and Loyalty, so trading them while they both have 0 would avoid that penalty entirely.

$1800 a pokemon, 2 days of training, pick up/deposited on the third, but they only take pokemon with 1-3 Disobedience...which would exclude Delta Steelix...but not Delta Onix...hmmm...quite the conundrum...

For me its okay but I think we should at least help and go along with Dragonstrike idea I think. Or not since I want it to at least get the move Sand Tomb who is now Sky Drop from that Delta Onix. Its a interesting move and the previous evolution move Steelix cant learn, only his previous evolution.

Sky Drop costs 37 exp to learn, so that'll be a little bit of a wait.  

Do still have Chatter until then, though.  But good point on Steelix not learning it since it learns Crunch at that level instead...

The way I recall how the Camp works is that it reduce Disobedience directly instead of increasing Loyalty and Happiness, like what happened with Charmeleon when Ven gave them a sound thrashing. If that is the case then both Scyther and Delta Onix can get the benefits of the Camp without losing them upon trade. If not, then only Scyther can benefit from the Camp post trade, and only Delta Onix can be taken to camp. Of course, Ven could just give his Steel Coat to Heart directly to evolve Delta Onix AFTER it goes through camp training if it doesn't reduce Disobedience once he's bonded with it enough, so its still can work out. Just a few more steps, is all.

Your call on how you want to do this, @Spiritmon, so choose~!

It gives +1 Loyalty after 2 days of training.  No disobedience reductions involved.  Just went and checked what the benefit Nidorino got was.

There is always the option for Ventus to purchase his metal coat for Scyther, and Heart can just purchase his for Delta Onix later and trade evolve it when it has enough happiness and loyalty to be fine with the tradeback evolution.

I agree with Dragonstrike. I would to at least keep Onix in his currently form both to keep his level of disobedience as 3 and for me try to bond with him a bit. Besides, I really want to get Sky Drop even with the cheap price of 37 XP to get its a interesting Charge move since the target would be Flinching when using. Its something really useful. Of course, I will have to work a bit in the Camp for a while.

I buy the Metal Coat for Scyther if you already want to evolve Scyther to Scizor but you might loose a few moves. I kind like to keep to chance to get some cool moves in pre-evolution.
