One Pokémon X save catches four legendaries: Xerneas at Lv. 50, then a starter-locked bird, Zygarde and Mewtwo at Lv. 70. X and Y have seven between them, with Yveltal in Y.
Rock Smash is TM94 in Pokémon X and Y. A girl outside the Ambrette Aquarium gives it to you for free, no badge needed. Here's where she stands, every cracked rock in Kalos, and what jumps out of them.
Pokémon X Thunder Stones sit on Route 10 and hidden on Route 11. The Stone Emporium doesn’t sell them. Farm Super Training or Inver for more.
