As usual, Niantic has released some details on their next update for Pokémon GO!
This time around the latest update to their popular mobile game will make adjustments to the Combat Power of several Pokémon: increasing the CP of Pokémon such as Alakazam, Rhydon, and Gengar (mentioned specifically), and lowering the CP of other, unspecified Pokémon.
In the words of Niantic, “These changes will allow a more balanced and competitive battling and training experience in Gyms. We will continue to adjust the CP going forward to improve the game balance when necessary.”
No word on an official list of all the effected Pokémon, however if you open up the app the changes to CP have already been implanted! Check out Niantic’s official blog for their full statement!
In addition to this, in celebration of Thanksgiving, starting November 22nd users will be able to enjoy a week of double XP and Stardust!
Who cares about Go
I caught a Jolly Buzzwole
I will never get over that name
What’s Pokémon Go again?
Wait when was this game announced? When did it come out again?
I’m kidding I still like this game
I haven’t launched this game in months. A game I have played a little bit recently is Pokémon Sun. I just finished the UB side quest, it was extremely fun. I just found out that Celesteela is exclusive to Moon though…I have Moon as well, but it will be a while until I want to start a new Alola playthrough. There’s also a reward at the end, make sure you commit…
What is this Pokeyman go
Put Snorlax on this list or I quit!!!
Lol I still haven’t finished sun…. So busy… But today that will change!!!
Shoot, I just got swept by Hau’s Raichu. That was completely unexpected lol.
That’s the thing about there games. They give you problems just as you’re getting comfortable. It keeps you on your toes lol
It’s a ton of fun when it’s like that. Definitely better than XY which held your hand through the entire game and had zero difficulty.
Also they aren’t focusing on the right things IMO. The fun was never in the battles for me, it was in the collecting and hunting.
So fix the d*mn tracker Niantic!! It’s been MONTHS!!
Pokemon GO stuff huh? Ok…… whatever. Lol Anyway! Ugh……I’m at work right now and then immediately after I have to go to a shoot and that’ll go until only god knows……I wanna play Pokemon tho!!! I’m about to take on Mallow’s trial. Once again I just gotta say I love this game!! Lol
Hey can someone who can breed in gen 7 test something for me? It could be quite interesting to some.
Could someone breed a starter with a male in their egg group caught in a different ball and see if it passes down at all. Also can someone try both a Male and Female in different Balls with a Ditto? I want to know how Pokéball inheritance works in gen 7 after some rumours I’ve read. If Males can pass them without Ditto we may be able to have things like Safari Ball Rowlet, Dream Ball Popplio or Sport Ball Litten etc.
Yessss. Love it.
Have you tried it?
Nope. Just hoping it’s true. Sorry. Haha I feel like fixing any gaps relating to passing down PokéBalls through breeding need fixed. Mainly because most competitive players don’t breed, they just hack for their team or someone else does for them. And regardless of how one feels about that, its dumb that some people get harassed when their Aegislash is illegally in a Dream Ball despite the Aegislash’s stats being 100% legal.
My only issue is if the Male and Female Pokéball don’t match and you’re trying for a shiny offspring in a specific Pokéball you may end up with the wrong one. Which is why I want to test it so much.
Eh. I kinda got bored of Pokemon GO. If they add Johto Pokemon I’m sure that I’ll start playing it again.
So the wild Pokemon levels are higher than my team levels. Um.
totem mimikyu is tough…and i completely forgot about its disguise, and used my z move first turn
The perfect follow up to Pokémon Sun and Moon
GO?
Every time there’s a Pokemon GO article the comments are super predictable lol. It’s always “add Johto”, “fix the tracker”, “nobody plays this game anymore”.
But seriously fix the tracker. xD
i still enjoy playing GO, but ive got good mons of most types, so i only catch a select few while i wait
My issue is that I’ve already caught all of them that aren’t exceedingly rare (Charizard, Dragonite, etc.) so it’s no fun for me to play anymore.
I just caught an Omastar yesterday. I don’t play religiously, so I can drag out what it’s worth.
There’s no point for me to play it when I’ll only get some fun out of it on a very rare occasion, but it was a ton of fun when it first released.
Yeah. I was hoping that they would release gen 2 sooner.
Plus it’ll be cold out when they do release it (at least in my area) so it’ll be less fun than it was in summer.
Yeah. But with Illinois’ crazy weather, you never know XD
Oh yeah, I forgot you live there too. You’re right about that. xD
I don’t think gen 2 is really going to be as fun as people are hoping it will be. 11/100 gen 2 pokemon are just evolutions for gen 1 pokemon, 8/100 are baby pokemon for gen 1 pokemon, and 6/100 are legendaries (meaning we won’t get them at release, if ever). So that’s only 73 new pokemon to catch and a lot of them are part of a line 😛
Benefits of Thanksgiving break week:
1) More time to play Moon.
2) More time to play Moon.
3) More time to play Moon.
4) More time to play Moon
And
5) More time to play Moon.
If only that were true.
What do you mean?
I have to work 3/5 days I’m off for break, I have 4 papers due in the next 2 weeks, and my sister is coming into town. I doubt I’ll have much time for S/M 🙁
Yeah… I can see it now.
I’m an 8th grader so….
Oh my god. You’re the same age as my youngest sibling.
I remember those days. Cherish them. Everything will turn to shit one day
@Green don’t listen to Ultron. Yes, there are a variety of ways in which the realities of adulthood will disenchant your perception of life and the world. But there is always something worth being happy about.
You realize I’m joking? I’d rather not go back in time to 8th grade even if my life is difficult right now (which it’s really not, I just have a lot going on). But, do cherish your childhood.
Good lol But man you never know. Nostalgia for one’s childhood can really jade some people towards the present. Sorry <3
I’m enjoying a nine day break right now.
I feel so lucky because I’m the only school in the entire city that is off today and tomorrow.
I only have a 5 day break starting Wednesday.
That’s what most of my area has too. It’s not by any means bad, but I just have a little extra.
You forgot 6.
6) More time to play Moon.
How could I have forgotten the most important one??
Make it 7) More time to play Moon.
Lucky you! You people get a week off for Thanksgiving, and us Canadians only got a 4 day weekend in October :/
We have Trump… you have Trudeau… You win, even with a 4 day break instead of a week long one…
Hehe yeah, we do. Even the worst Canadians, Kellie Leith, who says she “shares” values of Trump, at least she said she’s not racist.
Well, just having Trudeau you win at everything
That’s a good one, having Trudeau isn’t perfect and is the opposite.
Actually, what you just said is the exact opposite!
😉
😉
Well, you know what they say about people who claim to not be racist…
Funny thing is that far-right parties are usually the ones who boast about democracy. They’re using it as a defence on their things.
I don’t get it.
It’s not a full week. It’s 5 days starting Wednesday
OH
For me it’s more time to play Sun : D
Something I find interesting: Hau refers to the aether paradise as “a branch” of the AF in Alola. Does this mean we might see more if it really is just a branch?
If I timetravel in the game (I played at 15h, but it’s almost 22h now and I don’t want to play at night), will it change anything? (I’m still in the beginning, trainer’s school)
I don’t think so, BUT you can’t time travel for time based events. For instance, if there’s no crabrawler in the berry patches, then you can’t change the date to find one, you actually have to wait that out.
Is it gonna affect catching these? (the 6th one should be wimpod) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d1f44942403b591bc7fc195e268821f5bfae2c07fa008b04e11c2b867f0ad9f5.png
Nope, you should be fine!
Also I wish you luck with your Salandit hunt. *shudders*
Poekoko told me that the first Salandit he encountered was a female.
Lucky. My friend had the same happen to him. I kid you not, it took me two dedicated hours to find a female.
My popplio was female and timid right away without having to reset so I hope I’ll be lucky again
I hope so too!
took 4 tries to take out the mimikyu trial, damn
That was actually one of the easiest for me.. but I think I over leveled haha
im pretty sure i was underleveled. Gonna have to grind a little now
I baited on ‘mon in order to take out its Disguise and then Z-Moved with Primarina for game. haha
i basically did the same, but incanaroar’s z move left it with like 5 hp
I’ve lost three battles so far. I’m so glad this game is difficult. From the trailers and such I expected this to be as easy as XY, but that’s definitely not the case. I’d say they’re up there with the likes of gen 4.
i still play the go of pokemon
You and two people probably.
im not part of the cool kids club
I am the other of the two
And my mom is the third. xD
Seriously, she’s extremely dedicated to GO, it’s so weird.
So is there really no way to buy apricorn balls in S/M?
Maybe we’ll see Gold and Silver on eShop next year, being the reason GF put the apricorn balls in the game.
Hm…interesting theory
Noob question: can ditto pass down pokeballs?
No?
Ugh. The apricorn ball thing sucks now.
No
Shoot.
Maybe. Monkeyfuzz says there are rumors that it’s a yes now.
Oh, I misinterpreted that comment then.
I’m intrigued.
It requires testing. If they can’t it may be that males can. In which case when Bank is released I will be able to breed any gendered Pokémon in almost any ball. If genderless can now pass them with Ditto I will work on catching those available in HGSS in them and try to collect the remaining Genderless Dream Ball ones.
When is official art expected for the remaining pokemon?
Didn’t they reveal all of the official art the day of release with gen 6? Maybe they’re waiting until Wednesday.
arent the art usually in the guide book?
Not always. The XY guide book was SUPER incomplete, it was missing text, had many errors, and most annoying of all, didn’t have any art for Pokemon that weren’t revealed before release.
oh thats just dumb
Yeah that’s why I’m not risking it this time.
who needs a guide book when u got serebii lol
I remember the Platinum guidebook I bought for $20 was 4x as big the cruddy X&Y one was. They used to be cool, now they’re not worth it
yep guide books these days suck… except the skyrim one
That guide book was literally what convinced me to blow all money for a DS and Platinum
It’s a great book!
Lol help me I’ve ordered the special edition guide book that costs 65£… (I sort of collect them so it makes sense, but honestly I hope it has decent content…)
I was pissed about that cause I bought it -_-
What guide book?
the sun and moon one
They are holding the art hostage in the guidebook. You must buy it for exorbitant prices as Nintendo has dictated.
Pokemon GO or GEn 7? Which is better (obvious answer is obvious, just wanna see if you know)
wellll Pokemon go got more nominations in the game awards so the people have spoken… lol jk
You do realize Pokemon Go existed more than S/M right?
no ik but technically sun and moon should of got nominated for something as the deadline is the 24th
100% it will be.
yea i hope it deserves alot
Ultra Beast Hunting is going great
I caught a Jolly Buzzwole and a Timid Xurkitree
So yeah if I figure out how to reset EVs and EV train these things will be pure evil
Oh nice! Are they easy to catch? I have low 60s Tapus and a lvl 71 Primarina.
Ehhhh one Buzzwole killed my Mudsdale in one punch….and he’s defensive as fack
i caught it with one ball
Then it must be a weakling
It took me a good amount of fighting
the ubs have a easy catch rate
Thank god for that.
Is Buzzwole Sun? If so YES!
Me and my friend decided to just catch rare/low encounter Pokémon, instead of progressing through the story. Shellder is soooo annoying. These 1% chance ‘mons are killing me lol.
i gave up and traded
After I met with Wicke, where do I go? Where do I get the Beast balls?
Where the heck is Verdunt Cavenr!
Route 2
OMG?! Why isn’t UB02 appearing?! Ugh Im in Verdant cavern!
Can someone tell me if it’s normal that I’m not finding Pheromones? I actinide mission 2, yet it wont appear.
Any Pixar fans in here? I know we at least have animation fans. Cause the Cars 3 teaser dropped. And it looks… serious? Gritty? They should title it: “McQueen”
https://youtu.be/E4K7JgPJ8-s
Well, the kids who loved Cars when they were 8 are almost in their twenties now, so it’s kind of pandering to the people who watched the first movies.
like me 😮
16/17 isn’t really all that close to 20’s
Cars came out ten years ago so that makes 11 years next year.
Hm, I thought it was ’06. My bad.
2008**
It looks so realistic. We really are in the future.
I cant believe McQueen is fucking dead
I just beat Lusamine in Aether Paradise, Decidueye finished it with Sinister Arrow Raid, was epic. On my way to Poni Island now. Story’s not even over, and Lusamine is without a doubt the best villain we’ve ever had imo.
Is she a villain you can sympathise with, or is she just straight up nuts? Or both?
Straight up nuts!
Cool.
Hows the game with the grass starter by the way? And what team are you using?
Decidueye is a beast, both in-game and competitve (regi thinks its the best one. It has its downsides, but needs to be used properly).
My team is:
Decidueye
Alola Raichu
Lycanroc Midday
Shiny Magmar
Alola Ninetales
Bewear
I just recently learned I struggle against bulky Fairy types, but I’m still loving this team!
How is Lycanroc? My Rockruff is meh
Lycanroc has its moments. Its had its fair share of ups and downs.
I had a Decidueye trap and take out my Ferothorn 🙁 so I do think it can be good if used effectively.
Cool team. Don’t anticipate myself using any of them except Decidueye and Lycanrock. I’ve heard Pallosand is a beast in game. Salandit will help with bulky fairies (should have used it instead of Shiny Magmar :p).
Yeah, Decidueye has a lot of cool things about it 😀
And I just couldn’t resist! XD I love those random shinies xD I’ve found a love for Magmar I never thought I’d have for the butthead xD
Wait you still talk to regi? O.o
Yeah!
He’s without a doubt the strongest person I’ve ever faced in a wifi match. I still have the flashbacks. xD
We both do! Toughest opponent I’ve ever faced. Luckily tho I kick his ass in Smash so at least I have that over him xD
Ah, so it’s not just me lol.
I couldn’t sympathize with her until the bitter end. Those who have completed the game may understand.
I dont understand. Lol jk
4 UB’s down…1 to go. Guzzlord it is time!
Hey! I was wondering if you could help me real quick with a trade. Nobody else I know is available at this current moment >.< If I trade you my Magmar holding a Magmarizer, could you trade it right back after it evolves? 🙂
Sure! Give me a sec to connect. Was away to connect to GTS anyway to try and trade for the 2 Moon exclusive UB’s!
YAY!! THANKS!!! 😀 I’ll head online now as well!
Online now.
Ah i forgot you had found a shiny! One Pink Magmortar coming back your way!!
Yeah! I’m so excited! 😀
I really owe you something, you’ve helped me twice now!
Nah i was glad to help, also I hope Kartana helped with your dex as i remember you are playing Moon!
It does! I appreciate it all so much ^_^
You’re lucky I had to pick up my siblings
I should have them all
So if I want a better chance at catching a female salandit I should try and catch a male pokemon with cute charm?
Highly encouraged unless you are feeling lucky!
This stupid igglybuff is a girl with competitive and won’t summon friends :/
I got an Eevee and evolved it into Sylveon as I couldn’t find an Igglybuff and Sylveon only requires 2 hearts of affection in this game as opposed to 3.
Yesss it summoned a male jigglypuff with cute charm! >:)
I wish I would’ve thought of that. It took me two hours lol
What does Honey do now if there are no hoards?
Drizzle it onto your body to attract Buzzwole
I’ll drizzle it on my buzzwole to attract buzzwole
It sees it as a threat and punches you to pulp
-Volcarona used Hurricane-
It could miss
-starts raining-
Focus Sash?
Unless it had TM’s there’s nothing it could do to OHKO Volcarona anyway 😛
Damn it….. Fine then what about………….Nihilego?
Hm…depends if Volcarona has used quiver dance yet..mine always carries psychic
Its raining
No! That is BEASTiality!
Hey, you’re the one reading into that! 😛
It’s kind of weird how you randomly find Probopass everywhere…it’s also a Sinnoh Pokemon so it’s not that strange.
well the dimensional lab talks about Palkia Giratina and Bronzor sinnoh is getting alot of love lol
There was also the guy who said that they received supplies from Canalave City or something. They’re really trying to make it obvious.
also the blue and pink team skull backgrounds
Palkia and Giratina I get but I thought Bronzong summoned the rain and sun via high pitched frequencies
Mareanie is such a pain to get
Really?! It’s on one of my teams! Or I had planned it to be on one.
its a sos call with corsola who is 1% or 5% depending on location. 20% if the fishing area has bubbles
Where’s the best place to get clothing? I’m loaded with cash right now.
Buy TMs first
Being Fashionable is a wasted investment
I went from 150K to 10K buying TMs and Potions/Revives.
Is it?
http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/180/717/203.gif
She’s not being fashionable she’s just showing a lot of skin
Why not both?
She has a cool personality, but her dress sense is seriously lacking
Yeah fair enough. However, I have enough for both.
I’m dirt poor. When my mother gave me the money I was worried about the game being too easy with cash, but now I’m fresh out.
Should have used the Amulet coin?
Shoot, I passed that up. It’s not too late for me though, I just reached Malie city.
Geez everyone must be GTS trading UB’s right now…took me 5 trade attempts to get Pheromosa as the first 4 had been taken by the time i selected my spare Buzzwhole!
Spare? Can you get more than 1 UB?
Its a requirement actually to complete the UB missions.
There is 1 Nihilego, 2 Buzzwhole’s (Sun) , 4 Pheromosa’s (Moon) , 2 Xurkitree’s, 4 Kartana’s (Sun) , 2 Celesteela’s (Moon) and 1 Buzzwhole.
Oh, that’s cool!
Is there any way of rebattling general trainers in the game? You know for grinding purposes.
Aww man no one wants a Kartana for Celesteela…. come on!
I’ll trade ya one
Really!? That would be great!
My FC is 0705-7097-9576 Max
I really want to know what’s up with these empty plots of land all across Alola!
I’m calling it now; gyms in stars.
TBH I thought it would be gyms post game of SM, but that isn’t the case clearly.
But mah totems!! Maybe they can make it where you have to beat a totem before you can challenge the gym.
Post game sounds better. Totem fights are fun and challenging enough (more so than gyms even).
You mean like the locked power plant in Kalos. I wonder what that’s about. Oh wait…
:p
And Couriway Town! ;~;
All will be revealed in Pokemon stars!
They obviously just saved going back to Kalos for Stars. Zygarde still has no plot dammit!!!
That’s one area though, there are enough of these to warrant use eventually.
It’s Ok, Tapu Koko was in the power plant, that’s why they couldnt open it
Makes sense.
What are the freaking chances I catch two Sassy Kartana in a row
Sassy are the best one. Make it max SpD with Assault Vest
The thing is literally paper base 31
A ember would kill it
Dude. A Water Gun probably kills it
1/625
Everyone always talks about couriway and the power plant, but what I want to know most is what the heck is going on in Jaune plaza. The people are taking about a lava dome Pokemon and that being in the plaza makes you want to mimic cries.
*about (not balky)
Ghost Girl
I BOUGHT A SKULL TANK TOP
Sorry, what was that about clothing being a wasted investment?
I have most buyable TMs
WHERE
Po Town
Which is now my new favorite place
Dark
Secluded
And always raining
Wait how do you get it?
PC
Do you have to beat the E4 first?
I just bought it, thanks.
What level should I be at for the Pokemon League?
55-65 preferably.
Uhg, still cant find the Gothitelle top in any of the stores -.-
Don’t know if this will help at all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqsDNIY2a_4
I’m writing proposals to our school administration… wish me luck! 0_0
good luck!
Does that egg from the day care have a higher shiny chance?
looks like the GO update is out. my highest pokemon, vaporeon, was CP 1940’s this morning, now its in the 2200’s
What the heck? I feel dumb. No else has asked about this but where do I go after the guy tells me to screw off in Po Town even though I know the passwords?
After you say the passwords, say no
That’s so weird
It is written on one of the cards. The one with Tapu Cocoa.
It’s actually really clever XD
Ok is everyone in the Alola Region made of iron?
Because I keep smashing into people on Tauros (mostly purposely) and they are unfazed
They’re made of code
Alright time to hunt down my favorite Ultra Beast
https://img.pokemondb.net/artwork/guzzlord.jpg
If I can get impish or careful
Hp Defense sp d trip split
Leftovers/Sitrus Berry/Lum
Toxic
Stockpile
Belch/Earthquake
Rest/Swallow
Me Too!
It was a bit of a challenge to get to Resolution Cave, but it felt very fulfilling once I did.
Yush! Someone traded their Celesteela for my spare Kartana on GTS! Just Buzzwhole to go!
I think I found something relating to the next games. I know I’m crazy, you don’t have to say it. I decided to look around Malie City, the one based on Chinese culture (which is likely the basis of the next generation) to scour for clues. If you notice, there are lanterns with circles, triangles, and three lines. On the two parallel walkways across the city, there is a black and white circle, triangle, and square, in that order. Now, look at this:
http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/8/7/1/5/highres_445474581.jpeg
This is the symbol for Lectorium Rosicrucianism. Basically, it’s a belief that all members of this religion have wisdom handed down from ancient times. Read this little blurb I found online:
“The circle stands for the macrocosmic, unknowable Spirit of God, the fullness (the Pleroma), from which all revelation evolves, and which embraces all creation. From the circle, the triangle evolves, meaning the divine spirit in its threefold revelation as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. From the Holy Spirit evolves the “square of the building”, the embodiment of the divine idea within the substance.
Circle, triangle and square together at every level – whether the macrocosm, cosmos or microcosm – a universal symbol for the divine creation, in its perfect manifestation of spirit (circle), soul (triangle) and body (square). Thus, the sign of the unity of circle, triangle and square is also a symbol of the divine human being, who is to be revealed on the path of Rosycross.”
Maybe I’m wrong, but maybe I’m not?
Sinnoh? It is up next on the Remake List, if you don’t count FRLG, or we skip another Gen.
Nah, I don’t think this has to do with Sinnoh. The symbols are in Black and White after all. I think it will go Stars, Sinnoh remakes, then 8th Gen. But given the Chinese theme of the city, they’re probably being super subtle with this hint and thinking way ahead. If this really is related, then only crazy people would even think of it.
Are you sure Malie City is based off China? They were saying people from Johto created the garden and I thought Johto was (more so than the other three) based off of Japan?
I may have mixed that up a little, but it really doesn’t make much of a difference to the actual pattern I found.
the first 4 regions ARE Japan… LITERALLY BASED OFF OF REGIONS OF JAPAN. Kanto even shares a name with it’s counterpart.
Yea but Johto has the most strong influences in the architecture, imo.
So according to Looker and Nanu…Sun and Moon take place at least 10 years after the events of Emerald!
So Red and Blue are 20, going off the Hoenn and Kanto take place relatively the same time thing.
I guess so and actually their new art does make that sound about right….and its the 20th anniversary! Haha
Now my only question is…what the hell happened to Grimsley? XD
Yeah… that as the most random encounter in the whole game! Unless I have yet to come across his story or reason for being there…. Anabel has gotten a really well fleshed out story for this game, even more so that in Emerald but Grimsley was an enigma!
Definitely was! That being said, his re-design is the best xD
His gambling habits got the best of him. After becoming an elite four member the only thing left to conquer was luck itself.
He makes me want Black and White 3 with him as the Champion
B3W3 <3 Don't even joke. I'd die of joy overload.
We still need the complete dragon, Couriway and Kalos power plants, and the empty plots in Alola solved.
Gimme Tao-Kyurem. That’s all I need.
Tao Kyurem in Anville town and it flees to Kalos via the trains, where we then boat to Alola and take on the new gyms.
so Johto/Sinnoh is 87 years ago, and black and white are at least 2 years ago
No?
DAMN YOU NOT REPLACING NUMBERS!
B2W2 and XY happen at the same time so there is time between the games
B2W2 and XY, which are 2 years after BW, meaning Alola takes place some point after because even Handsome can’t be in two countries at once. and ORAS is an enigma because it has to take place before gen 5 or the in this alternate universe the Royal Unova wasn’t built until later.
Yes so its more than 2 years
so BW are at least 2 years ago. and B2W2XY are indeterminate amount of time ago.
That’s was my guess. Out of the four time jumps. 2 of them add up to roughly 5 years. So I figured the other two would be the same.
How often do Berry piles regenerate in Alola? I’m looking for a certain ‘mon for my team and I’d rather not soft reset
I’m mad that you can’t get Vikavolt until the 4th island, since by the time I got here It was already well past level 41… and I can’t get Zap Cannon Relearned until I can climb Mt.NoIceTypesForYouUntilTheEnd
I forgot Ice type existed
Love the name although you can get Ice types before the 6th Trial at Tapu Village.
I know this it’s just annoying, What’s also annoying is the sheer amount of pokemon FOUND IN ONE LOCATION, I mean we have Rats and Mongooses on every route! GIVE US VARIETY
Well at least it reflects reality in that they are successful invasives :p
My word..Nanu’s Persian is a monster in the post-game! WTHHHH
Fatface took out 4 of my Pokemon in the Kahuna battle! I’m shuddering just thinking about the post-game now omg
It took out my Tsareena and my PRIMARINA! My fairy type….FAIRY TYPE! EVIL!
Dexio…. not to be mean or anything but im hunting… i don’t want to know about Mega Evolution!!
I love that Primarina’s hair just floats
I think it should be dye-able.
Brave or Quiet for Wishiwashi?
I prefer Quiet. The brave ones always try to spark a revolution
Depends what it’s moveset is gonna be.
Who’s Crazier? Cyrus, Lysandre, or Lusamine
that last one, but in a different way
Cyrus isnt crazy, he’s a nihilist. Lysandre isn’t crazy, he’s a fudging idiot who doesn’t get economics on any basic level, sooo I guess choice C.
A NIHILIST DOESN’T TRY AND REWRITE REALITY!
And Lysandre IS LITERALLY TRYING TO NUKE FRANCE!
Honestly though. You know what I’d love? I keep predicting re-remakes for RBG/FRLG but gimme sequels set during B2W2/XY.
I want Sinnoh sequels so that we can see how the fuck long it’s been since Gen 4.
Yes. Those are coming. And I want them. But I’m convinced there will be a shift or addition to the pattern. The point in the Pokémon remakes is that the games are generational and all connected by being in the same world so it makes sense to sell an older region to fans who want to go back and to new fans who have never been there. I don’t think we’ll just never see Kanto, Johto, etc again. So I’ve been predicting re-remakes. But sequels would be cooler.
ORAS has to take place before gen 5, since the Boat isn’t done yet, or it could be due to multiverse theory.
For future reference:

Or a Kanto with two timelines that you can “Switch” back and forth from. One would be a dystopian present based on a timeline where the Pokemon War never ended, while the other would be normal and unharmed.
That would fuck the timeline even more
Not really. It’s really just an alternate dimension.
I don’t want a post-apocalyptic Pokémon game. So. Nah. haha
you mean RGBY/FRLG? you forgot yellow.
Yellow was loosely based off the anime and isn’t canon to the video game world. So no.
Totally unrelated but this is perhaps my new favorite song in the world

Catching morelull is the biggest pain in the ass. Moonlight + flash + summoning allies -_- I’m pissed
Hypnosis and Taunt are your friends.
Don’t have thoseee
You should go get something that learns them then?
Too much work before the post game.
Do you not have Taunt as a TM?
I’m not sure, but I already caught it anyway 😛
Oh, well done then 🙂
Yeah, it was just rather annoying lol
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY ONE AREA ENCOUNTERS!
If this stars thing is real, THEY BETTER REBALANCE THE ENCOUNTERS AND INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PLACES YOU CAN FIND CERTAIN POKEMON!
I think your caps lock or shift key is broken
I’m just angry because there are so many Pokemon that are only in one location while you can find Raticates and Gumshoos everywhere.
I’ve encountered quite a variety. But yes, the standard rodents and birds tend to show up a lot in a region.
INB4 a press release reveals that they are taking pointers from Pokémon Go on rodent encounters.
How do you get Mago berries? I need some to dye a skirt but cant find any! Serebii says they are in the lush jungle but I cant find them there either
Those mago berries in Lush Jungle were part of the trial, though.
Looks like berries are like randomness this time, we get them from trees or we don’t…
if you do get them GROW MORE WITH POKEPELAGO!
A-ha!
Well I actually have a level 3 beanstalk and a level 2 berry farm already, so I’ll probably do that.
I was adding to the comment chain…
Well yeah I know
Can someone name all the Pokemon in Sun and Moon that can only be encountered in one area?
There are not one, not two, not three, but FOUR Pokemon you can only find in lush jungle, although 2 of them are version exclusives, that’s way too many!
Formantis can be found on Route 5 though
Fomantis isn’t one of them!
But the idea is probably that jungles have a wider variety of species in the real world too
Honestly I love this and the fact some are unique to patches, it makes hunting for pokémon and pokedex completion way more interesting and true to life…
Crap, I just got Machamp, but now I forgot the places I could use it when backtracking. I remembered Ten Carat Hill and Diglett’s Cave, but were there more?
I’m guessing all of the Ruins.
I don’t think it’ll let me catch the Tapus yet, but I think I’ll try going there.
Lush Jungle.
Thank you!
Your welcome.
3 Pokemon in lush jungle can only be found there.
This wishiwashi has successfully called for help 6 times and I’m just trying to catch it….!
I really hate SOS
Literally every time I knock out the summoned pokemon it summons another!
If they were going to do this, at least finally make us able to catch a Pokemon when multiple are on the field.
Right!? that would be awesome cause I’m trying to catch one with a good nature
YES! I finally did it! I got all the UBs, and I caught the final legendary until Marshadow and Magearna,, Necrozma! I am so relieved! Hardest part of post-game finished!
Beldum is a freaking Devil to catch. Screw that.
Yea. It’s a real headache.
I just had one struggle away. I guess it wasn’t meant to be.
The one i had recoiled itself to death, not even hypnosis helped me.
8 pearls, 11 big pearls, 1 pearl string, 1 stardust, 1 star piece = 74,500 Poké-Dollars
if anyone needs Mareanie let me know, currently breeding them, and have 4 spares.
Do they have their HA?
Not yet no. But figured if there are people who want to breed their own, and not endure trying to catch it as it’s quite a pain to get lol
Omg yeah it was, I finally caught one earlier this morning, was trying to get its HA xD
If I hatch one with the HA ill post here 🙂
I’ll keep an eye out! :0
72 hatches, still no regenerator xD
So, third day asking, but I really am interested! How is everyone doing solar? Any new Champs? Any kahuna killers? Trial trumpers? UB catchers? For me, I finally finished the long UB side quest, and caught the extremely difficult Necrozma.
I’m putting UB’s and such on the back burner to hatch some eggs and get stuff im missing off of the GTS
Oh nice! BTW, level up your Pokemon. The UB side quest is sort of….tedious. You need to catch 4 Buzzwole/Pheremosa, 2 Xurkitree, 2 Celesteela, 1 Kartana/Guzzlord, the actual battle with the Fairy Captain, and another battle (hint, they’re empthatizing use of Fairy-types in this one) with Nanu.
My team is in the 80s, I think I’m okay 😛 hahah but thanks!
IN THE 80S?! Wow. I was in the 60s and I was able to win (my Primarina was highest at 73).
HOW DID YOU LEVEL THAT MUCH?!
grinding xD I’m levelling up mons to fill up the pokedex and such, and work on getting the actual competitive ones I want at the right levels
But grinding wheeeeeeeere?
Vast Poni Canyon
Huh…
I finished the UB sidequest and I’m about to go after Necrozma. I’m really excited!
That’s fantastic! If you have Lunala, USE IT. Mine was at a lvl 64, and Necromanza kept using their OP defence rising power, yet I was able to get it to 9 HP, and after some turns or so where Lunala got hurt about halfway, healed, failing moves and balls, I caught Necrozma!
I’ve been collecting Pokemon to fill out my boxes and to develop Pokepalago and collecting the UBs
soon i’ll hit up the Battle Tree for items for competitive
get a Talonflame Egg nanny
learn how festival plaza works and start hunting down dittos and things with trace and synchronize
i have a busy week this week so i doubt i’ll make good head way
Oh nice!
my biggest quest it to collect all 100 Cells
i think i am around 67
I actually have two Zygardes in ORAS/XY. One is a lvl 100 someone gave me, another is another lvl 100, the one I caught myself. I’ll put both inside and make a 100% Zygarde!
brb i’m in a flame war
some loser thinks Sonic Boom is actually good
Lol
The damn fool
he actually said it has likable characters and good writing
Surely Earthen cannot let this go without punishment
Heading to the Ruins of Life to take on Olivia. Should be some fun stuff right there.
She’s especially easy with a Popplio.
No Popplio, but I got Dartrix (lv. 32) and Slowpoke (lv. 28)
OK so I posted this earlier, not sure if anyone is able to do this now, but here we go:
Can someone who can breed in gen 7 test something for me? It could be quite interesting to some.
Could someone breed a starter with a male in their egg group caught in a different ball and see if it passes down at all. Also can someone try both a Male and Female in different Balls with a Ditto? I want to know how Pokéball inheritance works in gen 7 after some rumours I’ve read. If Males can pass them without Ditto we may be able to have things like Safari Ball Rowlet, Dream Ball Popplio or Sport Ball Litten etc.
Who can’t breed;
The Tapu Squad
Ultra Beasts
Solgaleo and Lunala
Cosmog
Necrozma.
That isn’t what I’m asking. I’m asking about Pokéball inheritance with breedable Pokémon.
I have no idea.
I’ll probably have a breeding session later, I’ll tell you about the results. Male in weird balls + ditto or male in weird balls + female in pokeball can easily be arranged.
Great thanks, it could have both good and bad news for people who collect these things.
I posted my findings so far but here’s what I have:
Genderless in special ball + Ditto = Egg in special ball
Male in special ball + Ditto = Egg in special ball
Genderless in pokeball + Ditto in special ball = Egg in pokeball
So basically a lot of male-only Dream Ball pokemon can now be legit bred.
OK thanks, I had read somewhere that someone bred 2 Oranguru in different Balls together and they got offspring in both kinds. This means at least some new combinations are now possible. Looks like I need to obtain some more stuff to complete my Dream Ball collection. Thank you for testing this for me 😀
Ok I guess I need more testing with the 2 balls male and female later. I’ll try to have a bigger sample size for male+female when I do it again and it can confirm if it’s 100% female balls or 50% each. We’ll see… 🙂
It may be to do with the species. Same+same=either ball passed, different+different=only female ball passed.
Tsareena learned High Jump Kick in the middle of the climactic battles just in time to whoop Bewear’s butt!
Oh wow.
Some real anime shit right there
I didn’t want to teach it to Tsareena as I didnt want to give up a Grass type space.
Only move I’ve used on Tsareena the whole game is Trop Kick lol
Lol, I didnt’ use it that much as I caught it way later in the game and it was behind. Just caught it cuz it’s beautiful.
That trainer:

lmao gold
Timer balls are your friend when it comes to catching Beldum….I suggest having a ghost type as your lead tho haha
Plot related
one of the answers to Lillie’s new outfit should have been an attempt to hit on her
OH MY GOD HER ATTEMPT AT A Z MOVE DANCE. SO PRECIOUS.
i dunno i like the ponytail but the short hair isn’t doing it for me
Like even if it wasn’t romantic I really wanted to hug her so bad a billion times throughout the story
she is literally the most cinnamony cinnamon roll to ever exist
well there is also wicke who I am so glad is innocent. But Lillie is just precious and she is just so happy after she starts coming out of her comfort zone and decides she wants to be brave like the player
I’m still trying to get Vulpix HA after my nap. Before my nap I forgot that Pokemon ran out of moves so the Vulpix that was alive used Struggle… XD
My Flareon that I cleverly named Cerberus because of its 666 CP is now 748 CP….
Pokemon S/M or Pokemon NotGO-od?
Of course Pokémon S/M is better
I’m talking about GO
Ohh, yeah I knew that lol
I need you guys to pray that I get my game tomorrow. I need all the prays I can get.
I can tell you this: It’s unhealthy to stay without this game for too long. I’m praying for you.
Yeah I actually got sick because I’ve been stressing about this game 😐
Oh Dam.
I was so addicted to the game I finished it less than a week!
1 like on this post = 1 pray.
I’m getting it tomorrow too ! The wait is seriously unbearable ! I’ve only been able to quench my thirst for it by watching let’s plays
Breeding (Genderless) Magneton in Premier Ball + Ditto = Magnemite egg IN PREMIER BALL!
😮
YES!
Yaaaaaaaas
This means the HA Dreamball Porygon I have was totally worth keeping. 🙂 When bank comes out I can finally reproduce that.
Staryu in Pokeball + Ditto in Dusk Ball = Staryu egg in Pokeball.
Whoops. No copying balls from Ditto. 🙂
Male Mankey in Great Ball + Ditto = Mankey egg in Great Ball!
So yeah, pokeball inheritance from males is here. No need to intentionally catch females anymore if you wanna breed special ball Pokemon.
Final test:
Male Mudsdale in Great Ball + Female Popplio in Pokeball =
…
…
Popplio egg in Pokeball!
Anyone know if you can catch Dhelmise from the Fishing Spot at the village in POni?
I did dis
Go to the Seafolk village to the Steelix bout
pop in and out for the bubble rings
What do you mean bubble rings?
the wavy things you’ll see them
Don’t question me
it has a 10% chance instead of 1%
How do you pop in and out?
go in, there’s a south exit where there’s a balcony just go to the Steelix bout and look around you’ll find it
OH THT’S WHAT YOU MEAN
bout friggin time
I already caught him a bit ago anyways.
Damn. Can’t believe there’s still more to go after that battle. Gotta stop for the night tho.
What battle?
Lusamine when she first releases all the UBs
Oh that battle.
Shits about to get crazy
Anyone know whether Necrozma is shiny-locked? I’m probably going to go for one in Moon if it isn’t.
IDK
All legendaries and UB are shiny locked
Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/ShinyPokemon/comments/5ddebz/megathread_shiny_hunting_in_sun_moon_nonstory/
Ugh, I hate that. There’s no reason why legendaries shouldn’t have the same shiny chances as every other Pokemon.
Yeah it’s sad, I’d hoped it’d be something like Latias/os in ORAS which can be shiny. Both the story and eon ticket one.
If I remember correctly, I think I left all of the wormholes in Omega Ruby open for when I want to shiny hunt in the future. At least I hope so…
Yeah I didn’t wanna close them too. Even if I only reset for competitive instead of shiny so I already go Thundurus and Cresselia out of the way.
Is it possible to trade with ORAS/XY or is that strictly through the bank?
bank boi
and don’t even think about that until January
Ugggh but trade evolutions 🙁 Guess I’ll just go buy moon then -_-
that’s why i’m trying to get EV and breedables now
Yeah that’s what I’m doing, to round it out and see what I can realistically wait until the box for.
Or just trade online? There are entire communities just for trading pokemon ya know
But but but…I don’t trust anyone :3
How about on here? I’m sure there’s some people willing to help. Even myself.
Perchance, I don’t really know anyone here haha. I’m weird like that xD
i only help only if in return i get your power of attorney
I’d gladly give it to you, nothing much to have power over my friend 😛
I’m pretty sure my attorney doesn’t have any powers unless he’s secretly hiding it from me. /s
same here
check out the pokemon trading subreddit. From my experience it is the safest place for trading.
Anyone else using that fast egg trick.
It’s not “fast”-er than anything else as much as we can see the girl change her pose on the fly to indicate she has picked up an egg…
I meant to hatch it, my bad.
try the big long lane on Akala island
the northern most part of the island
That’s a good idea! Thank you 🙂
Once you have 5 eggs, you can use the up and down route in that area, you can also use festival plaza (as long as you can keep to the center of the thing).
Whoops eggs don’t hatch in FP but the steps count.
Haha thanks for the clarification 🙂
i just run up and down the route tbh, spinning around in circles is getting a tad dizzying
True lol, plus I’m a bit afraid of messing up the circle pad.
exactly how I feel. Besides, if you take the route, and go south and run through Heahea, it ends up being super quick. That’s what I do, up to brooklet hill, and then back down to the docks at heahea
I’ll take that approach instead, not worth damaging my Solgaleo and Lunala 3DS lol
Totem Vikavolt was the easiest one yet by far. I swept it with my newly caught Minior. I feel like it should’ve been a few levels higher honestly.
Agreed, it was def one of the easier ones *glares evilly at Lurantis*.
So far, easiest to hardest for me:
Vikavolt
Gumshoos
Wishiwashi
Lurantis
Salazzle
TBH totems are more difficult and fun than gyms
I totally agree they are more fun than gyms.
Mine were:
Vikavolt
Salazzle
One I don’t want to mention for spoilers
Gumshoos
Wishiwashi (tied with Lurantis for hardest, because i stupidly fainted the support wishiwashi, and it spawned in an alomomola who heal pulsed every other turn)
Lurantis (My trumbeak was one level from evolving and I was determined to get him to evolve from the kill, and he did :3 )
Some of the strategies of totems are so clever. After gen 6, I would have never expected GF to put that much thought into a story related battle.
Wishiwashi was the only retry
the rest were laughably easy
i spent 20 minutes getting the question wrong just to shock Sophocles
It was pretty funny
And you know why i did it?
Pure hatred?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxJrjV4PNXA
Last call for anyone who needs a Mareanie, about to wonder trade off a whole heap of them haha
set one aside for me
rares sell good on GTS
So do starters, I traded a copy for a Toxapex among other ill gotten gains….
I’m doing Popplio next in hopes i get liquid voice
Ill gotten gains can be pawned off for even more
Any particular ability? I have Limber and Merciless up for grabs. Still no Regenerator.
ehh Merciless
Honestly the whole Merciless is good on paper but has such poop stats
Agreed, but I’ve done some testing on showdown, it can do some decent work
Ugh. GTS. The only thing that sells well is a Melloetta if you want a Rattata.
I got a litten for a Mareanie, and a Rowlet for a Carbink xD
That place is even eviler then I
That’s why you don’t just stare at the main page. You actually put effort into finding stuff you want.
There’s legend filters now. Times have changed.
Anyone got a Dhelmise they don’t want? I’m counting the days for Pokebank to be active on sun/moon so my dear Jellicent can join my team.
Well, Dhelmise is a very hard Pokemon to catch, so sorry 🙂
I have one, i put the effort in and now i will breed them and sell the fodder and make bank ECONOMICS
Dhelmise can breed?! Also speaking of which, I have about 20 Dittos or so so I can give anyone one for a small price of Alolan Vulpix!
I also accept Turtonators.
I’m gonna be attempting to catch one in a bit, and then I’ll try to breed it. If I’m successful, I’ll give you one.
What’s Kukui’s deal with the number 4? xD
Oh by the way
Listen up chumps
I highly recommend you start breeding and hatching ASAP, if you hatch over 20 Eggs the IV checker will enable you to check IVs from the PC
A must have for any serious competitor
wait what?! I’ve hatched over 100 eggs I don’t ahve the ability to…Where’s the IV checker lol
Near the battle tree. I read it on serebii. Not there yet myself.
Ah okay, I’ll go check it out then. Sick
:O
THIS IS THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO A BREEDER SINCE SOMETHING.
Male and Genderless can now pass their Pokéball with Ditto and same species males can pass them with a female. Meaning we can now have legit hidden ability Bank Ball ‘mon. I think that’s pretty major too 🙂
Not much of a competitive battler, but I think I’m gonna give it a go ahead this time around.
“Show me your moves”
– Kukui, 2016
“My body is ready”
In Moon, something makes me feel like people are gonna ship Lillie and Ash
:0 They fixed Gunk Shot’s animation! It’s no longer a stupid garbage can xD
Thank Arceus lmao
What is it now? I know the move, I saw the garbage can move, but how is it now?
Why do I hear an aether leitmotif in Guzma’s theme? I don’t know the whole story, so this might be foreshadowing.
I heard that too!!
It is foreshadowing. I didn’t notice it the first time around.
Just play and enjoy 😀 You may, or may not be correct
Foooorrrrrshadddddoooowwwing faaammmm
Looks like I can watch the first 2 episodes of Sun and Moon dubbed. Might watch XY first since I haven’t got ’round to it.
I watched the first half of the first season of XY. It’s as corny as Pokémon has always been. Though Bonnie, Clemont’s little sister, is legitimately funny.
I heard really good things about XYZ and watched the League finals which were epic. But I didn’t watch anything else.
Watched the first two episodes of SuMo and I’m hooked.
I have to watch things from the start to get into them properly, so I’ll have to watch all of XYand XYZ. I have it all recorded, just not got to it yet. I will prob start Sun and Moon (after a break) after I finish it, even if they literally threw it out the window at the beginning.
Is it possible to get the Z crystals of the other two starters or not?
yes, but its postgame-ish
Great! From a collector perspective it’d bother me if you couldn’t.
I hear ya, I thought that too, and then it happenend and I was like, sick GF thanks for reading my mind! 😀
I need help planning the last two members of my team. Currently, I have Dartrix, Salandit, Charjabug and Crabrawler. For my other two, I want them to have types not shared by my other four, and they must be Alola Pokémon. I’m about to fight Olivia. Biggest priority is type coverage, so dual types preferred.
Minior
Komala
If you do, your team would be 5/6 the same as mine. xD
Seriously though, even though they’re one stage, they’re AMAZING.
Considered Minior since it covers two more types, but Komala being Normal type doesn’t really appeal to me.
I don’t really mind using monotypes, but if it bothers you then try Ribombee.
Maybe Drampa or a Fairy type?
Alolan Diglett; and Oricorio (psychic) or Oranguru (if Moon ver.)
What are peoples dexs looking like?
Mines at:
Overall: 34%
Melemele: 45%
Akala: 40%
Ula’Ula: 36%
Poni: 54%
All I know is the full thing is 8%. Though I’ve only just completed my fifth trial.
I think I’m hovering around 45% overall if I remember correctly.
Got my Wimpod off the GTS <3
Which limb did you sell for it? xD
Haha just bred a Popplio for it! And by that I mean I put a Popplio up and requested a Wimpod lol
That’s pretty reasonable. Maybe the early stages of GTS are better?
The new legend filter is helping a lot.
Early on, starters are very valuable.
I believe they’ll be pretty valuable for the next two-three months or so. Since most people probably won’t get the games till Christmas.
Yeah!
Rockruff, Ribombee and Crabrawler are pretty good as well.
I find the Island Scan mons trade kinda poorly (except starters) since probably many people aren’t looking for them or know they exist.
They definitely are, I still see some pretty unreasonable things tho lol
Do you have a spare Popplio? It would help my team out immensely!
I also have some Popplio spares I can breed in case Ariel doesn’t beat me to it.
If you could do that for me I’d sincerely appreciate it!
Ok give it a few minutes to half an hour since I got some chores lined up. I already have 2 egg moves too.
Yeah Dicie will probably prefer the one with egg moves lol. Sorry Dicie I had just got out the shower! By the hi my name is Ariel lol 😛 but if you don’t wanna wait I can go ahead and trade you one.
alright calling it a night
working every day except Thanksgiving so my life will be a living hell
Earthen Out
Goodnight!
Dhelmise has no gender, does that mean it can’t breed 🙁
There are genderless things that can breed like Beldum.
It probably just needs a ditto.
Once I catch it I’ll find out haha.
Edit: Caught it! Now heading over to see if it breeds
Yeah! General rule is if it isn’t a “baby Pokemon” or a legend or Ditto+Ditto, you can probably put it in with a Ditto and you’ll get eggs.
Yup…it can be bred 😀
If I get that Popplio, who gets my last slot?
Drampa, Oranguru or Minior?
Minior
My vote is for Oranguru.
Drampa hits hard but he’s weak to fighting which sucks
SPOILER; Anabel from Hoenn is Looker’s assistant (lost her memory apparently).
What a scare, I thought I lost my everstone.
Breeding Popplio copies now. 🙂
Would you like it to be an egg so you’ll be OT, Dicie?
You can trade eggs? Did not know that lol
Well not on WT or GTS 🙂
But yeah you can trade eggs if it’s link trade…
Good to know thanks 🙂
Uh sure! How long will it take to hatch?
Ok, I kept the last egg in the set so I ran around on Tauros with that for a bit but it is unhatched, so it shouldn’t take you much walking. Did I add you before already?
Yo Malco is Perish Song one of those egg moves your Popplio know?
Only Charm and Aqua Ring so far since they’re on a Pikachu (m) and Popplio (f). I’m trying to get all 4 egg moves though, so eventually (gender ratio is a b****) I’ll get Perish Song. But first I need to hatch a female with Charm + Aqua Ring to proceed.
In case you didnt, FC is 1977-1450-7299
Ok I’ll try to add you shortly.
3351-4646-9325
Egg or Popplio?
Is the egg close to hatching?
Many Popplios have hatched already I was just checking if you wanted an egg instead so you’ll be the original trainer. 🙂 Anyway it seems you want a hatched Popplio so wanna pop online to trade?
In a minute, yep!
Added.
I got Popplios already, but you might want the egg instead so you’ll be OT? When are you available?
Since I’ll basically be posting on here more often from now on, I’ll add my FC
Name: Ariel
FC: 4167 – 5841 – 4337
Maybe we’ll run into each other in festival plaza or something…
Name: Pandora
FC: 3351-4646-9325
I just beat Lusamine for the 2nd time, it was really underwhelming. Was able to set up +6 with Alola Raichu thanks to some RNG help, and it was a clean sweep from there. But the build-up and the atmosphere were omg. And with that ending, how is this game Rated E?
Ok wait, just finished the cutscene, maybe the ending wasn’t as dark as I interpreted it at first.
We don’t have to fly back and forth to Kiloude city anymore lol
http://www.idigitaltimes.com/pokemon-sun-and-moon-iv-checker-judging-and-calculating-your-pokemons-individual-569871
We still need that flame body talon flame though
Move Relearner is on top of that blasted mountain… :p
Oh well while waiting for Dicie I think I’ma find a male Absol for the next step in my evil plan.
I’m ready for trade anytime. I’m online in festival plaza.
Can someone please explain to me how to get a good iv Pokemon in these games. I literally don’t understand. Also I haven’t finished the game.. UGH WHYY I JUST WANT TO EXPERIENCE WVERUTHING XD
With breeding, or hyper training?
Breeding…. I need to understand how to get good iv Pokemon. Or at least, guarentee a good iv Pokemon.
Well first you need a two good IV pokemon, even just one stat. Basically it is randomly generated, but once you get the max/31 you just need to breed it together until all of the good stats are on 1 Pokemon.
With everstone you can keep the nature of the mom/dad and with destiny bond you can copy 5 of parent’s iv’s instead of 3.
Normally i’d just send you a “6iv” ditto to get started but I have those locked up in gen 6 for now.
If you want something good I suggest trying to get a quick to hatch mon that has 2 egg groups (e.g. magikarp, snubbull) and try to make a 6iv out of it so you can use it as a parent.
It’ll take me forever to explain it just search for pokemon breeding guide. The gen 6 ones still generally work except the locations are different and you can check IV’s on the status screen.
woah woah hold on there, I think you mean Destiny KNOT not Destiny BOND not trying to call you out, just don’t want to mislead anyone.
Thanks, I fixed it. 🙂
DUDE THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Like, I can’t say enough. Can’t wait for the meta game this year!
Wait I know this actually. Probably should have read the comment. Oy I’m sorry. I meant if there was a way to guarentee a Pokemon with at least 1 maxed out IV. Like Friend safari sort of. You don’t have to respond, I feel bad for making you type that whole comment. But once again thank you for taking the time!!! 😀
I know pokemon found in an SOS battle have a higher chance of having perfect IV’s the higher the chain.
Oh gotchya… Thank you that certainly helps, I’ll test that out during post game… Still haven’t beaten the game yet… But I like to be prepared 😀
For those who have already gottten past this point. So I just got to Ultra Space with Lillie and the Lunala. I think I am about to face Lusamine. How screwed am I from a scale of 1 to 10 with a team like this:
Crabrawler lv.49
Alola Persian lv. 49
Mimikyu lv.48
Zygarde 10% lv.48
Salazzle lv.49
Primarina lv.49
the trainer has pokemon in the low 50’s. i’d say pick your moves and type matchups correctly and you’ll be fine, but their first pokemon is a monster of a wall. (also, if you notice, the pokemon on their team all have sinister expressions, except for Bewear because bewear doesn’t have a mean bone in its fluffy body)
Thanks.
Y’all are better at this than I am. What’s a good Nature for Popplio?
I would say modest off of the top of my head.
Sounds good to me thanks!
Yea, with reference to Malco’s statement of what role that Popplio would play. I was thinking a special wallbreaker.
Cool! Thank you both! I wanna try to get into competitive battling this time around. Gotta look up breeding tutorials lol.
Calm also works if you want to be support/special wall.
Sorry to keep you waiting, I can’t connect to my hotel wifi…
Ah ok. I know! When you have wifi I’ll trade.
I’ll have more egg moves soon anyway so the future Popplios will be better.
Ready! What do I do?
Ok I thought you can’t connect. Hang on just go online in festival plaza and I find you using friends list.
Thanks so much! 🙂
No prob. Enjoy!
Yer Bobby, right?
Yeppp
huh. I found guzma’s parents.
Where?
route 2, house below the berry field. postgame, you find your boy there
Ah
Wow bewear. just survived a guillotine lol you rock buddy!
Just caught Lunala with a Heal Ball by critical capture. Feeling very lucky today.
cant wait to soft reset cosmog. my Lunala has a jolly nature, yuck.
Just saw that it was Careful. I guess I will be doing the same as you Exeledus.
I will trade this one for my pal’s solgaleo.
Why dont you catch a syncorize Abra so you can SR for IVs instead
Synchnorize
synchronize works on nature, not IV’s (I’m pretty sure, at least.)
Yeah, I meant that if he caught a Modest Abra for example, he can SR for a good IV’d Modest Lunala
ah I see. I have to wonder, do legendary pokemon still always have at least 3 perfect IV’s this gen?
My Solgaleo Has 3 IVs so I guess this law still applies
Nebby aka Solgaleo or Lunala both, has a high catch rate but I still threw my Master ball at it because I like my box art legendaries in master balls
you do you man. I always save my masterball as a emergency shiny pokemon safety net.
chugging right along on that melemele dex! almost have every basic pokemon, then its time to start evolving!
When do you get access to the Hau’oli City Mall?
didn’t even know that was a thing until you said it and I checked it out. I’m in postgame, not sure if you have to be or not.
Lol crap haha. I keep looking it up online, but no luck. I don’t serebii has it either.
It’s open lol. Don’t know exaclty when it did haha But I’m on the third island so….somewhere around there i guess lol
well, in it there is a theater showcasing ride pokemon, so maybe after you have them all? (edit) nevermind, remembered there’s a ride pokemon on the 4th island.
It was already open for me around the time I reached Olivia’s town.
Must be after the grand trial.
With Hala, I mean. I noticed it was open the other day before I took the boat to the 2nd island
Thank you! Yeah I haven’t went back to Melemele in a while so I wasn’t sure.
No prob! Yeah, I was very surprised. I had even asked around the other day if we’re ever allowed to go in and no one answered.
I had access to the mall after the 1st trial, I believe.
My Wishiwashi is a straight up beast. Love it.
I dropped it because it felt like an Uber on my team
Does that mean too powerful? 😛
I believe so.
Actually all water type in this gen are damin competitive.
I love it. This is a great gen for water and bug 🙂
NPC: “this pokemon still doesn’t trust you enough yet”
Me: “B*tch, this is my starter pokemon, and she’s level 65. WTF are you talking about?!?”
Holy SweetSmilingStuffuls, the clothing in the Hau’oli mall is ridiculously expensive, $378,000 for a satchel bag? no thanks!
I know, right? I saw that and was like O.O
But I want it……. especially the Gem Barrette….
I know, I’m using the amulet coin as much as I can to stock up 🙁
Sometimes I just fish for pearls/big pearls/pearl strings.
I got quite a few of those while I was looking for a good wishiwashi
It’s a leather bag and I almost bought the black one lololol
Mhm lok
If only gaining money were as easy as in XY
well, you can earn a free 20,000 a day cleaning beaches. also, fishing up pearls is rather easy.
Its actually easier. Just Level up the mine of poke pellego to level 3 and send your pokemon out to the money mine mission, feed them beans and you’ll get a ton of sellable items from it every 24 hours.
how do I dye clothes? I look fine clad in white, but i’d like some pink highlights in there too!
You need to have a dye place in your festival plaza, then you pick the color and they will tell you the berries required. You also need a “white” version of the clothing you want to dye.
Said dye place also sells clothes of a particular color.
out of curiosity, can you re-purchase white clothing that’s been dyed? or will it still say you already own it?
It will “change color”.
It will say “Tank Top (Pastel Red)”, for example, after dyeing.
so I can go back to a clothing shop and rebuy a white one if I don’t like the died color? I’m sorry if I’m being unclear.
Yep it looks that way. Also this means you can’t “re-dye” the thing you just dyed.
ok that’s nice to know. I will keep my eyes peeled for people recommending dye shops. my plaza is only rank 11, it takes awhile to rank it up…
It’s so slow talking to people and checking out their reco. 🙂
But yeah that’s a consistent way of doing it, at least, rather than wait for Sophocles to randomly offer it on levelup.
huh. the abandoned stufful is gone. I wonder what happened to it? I know its just a game but that seriously made me want to cry :c
Maybe someone adopted it? Ask the motel counter?
Also since it is still there in my game, want me to screenshot it? 🙁
they still say the same thing. maybe its a bug? I hope there’s a happy ending, the stuffuls just melt my heart :3
I hope it found a trainer. (Go catch one and pretend that was it!)
I already have a box full exploring a cave for me XD
Random tip: When SOS chaining, you can just use another Adrenaline Orb to waste a turn without using up a move. It also doesn’t consume an additional Adrenaline Orb.
i was using antidotes, it works the same. youtuber ADrive (the undisputed king of shiny hunting lol) has a nice guide on it, even recommending a certain pokemon and moveset to have infinite PP and recovery.
Can you link the video here so I don’t have to go through tons of spoiler videos please?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HcQ9F2zPQI&t=303s here you go!
Thank you 🙂
Once again I’m struggling to make a good name for a male Jangmo-O, any suggestions?
Any of these tickle your fancy? Shields, Marauder, Scales, Bronze Gong, Ring Mail, Reaper, The Law, Robocop, Saint Seiya, Gladiator, Centurion, Phalanx, Praetorian, Predator, Knight
Clearly Robocop is the appropriate choice.
I actually thought Phalanx too but phalanx seems too…. defensive
Praetorian sounds cool… but idk if I’d use it.. I want something that yells “Badass”
Ok here’s more from the more attacking side (some of it): Barbarian, Berserker, Braveheart, Conan, Soldier, Rampage, Viking, Ragnar, Hoplite, Spartan, Scourge, Leonidas, Shatterhand, Angerfist, Bash, Brawler
Actually, this gave me an idea. I think Ragnarok is the kind of name I’m lookin’ for! Thanks!
whats more badass than Robocop?
Got my female modest Popplio…..gonna train it up to level 31 and replace my male Brionne….which has a bad nature.
Pokedex on Dugtrio:
“These pokemon are cherished in the Alola Region, where they are thought to be feminine deities of a land incarnate” huh, that’s interesting.
lol did anyone get the attract TM?
Yes.
Poor machamp. HAHAHAHA.
So… What’s the story with the three Murkrows on Route 15? I saw a twitter post with a screenshot of a person between the three of them with a caption of, “This game has murder”, but I just found the Murkrow and no person.
I think its just a reference as to how a group of crows is called a “Murder” and the place is spooky.
OHHHH! *Facepalms* And I just found the post and I remembered it wrong, the person was the player’s avatar. Thanks! xDDD
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c9d576b49246cd0bf92f06b336553fd4132c9bc711f3b85c5084779647cbf2e3.jpg I’m up late doing assignments for grad school (It’s 2AM over here), taking a study break by playing Moon. In a bad mood, I wander into the center and the game freezes for a minute. I’m thinking, “Oh shxt, now my game’s frozen. When did I last save?” But it turns out the game just lagged to pop off firecrackers and wish me happy bday. All these years, I’ve really underestimated that feature ^_^ I missed the firecrackers but here’s the cake lol.
Ah, so it is your birthday. Happy Birthday???
I tend to forget that it is my birthday (or when it’s my birthday already) so it’s always a pleasant surprise if anyone greets me, including games like Pokemon or Fire Emblem.
Yeah it is, and thanks! Lol.
Same boat, I completely forgot that it was my birthday today because I’ve been drowning in schoolwork… And simultaneously trying to find time to play Pokemon Moon <.<
I bet the added loading time was like the “scare” of walking into a dark room for a surprise party…
It really kind of was though! I ALMOST turned the game off before it sprung back to life lol.
Happy Birthday! I can only give you one gift: advice!
catch a stufful and love it in refresh. you will be a million times happier.
Thanks! Hmmm… Well Stuffuls are pretty adorable. I think I’ll take that advice =P
I remember that. In X/Y, I was really worried when the game screen was dark, I was OH NO! It’s broken! However after they screamed surprise I realized it was purposely.
well, looks like smogon decided to ban Zygarde Complete. I don’t follow smogon rules, but I do like knowing why, turns out it has an HP stat similar to Blissey.
It can Rest it all back after it transforms to Complete, or just stall with leftovers to gain a decent amount of HP at turn.
Huh, all this time I wondered why ok stat spread but abnormally large HP qualified it as legendary. Question answered.
It’s crazy, it can PP Stall Ho-oh, and setup sweep with Coil.
All it needs to do while it’s 50% Zygarde is ensure it doesn’t die, and take enough damage to get below 50% health (easy with practice, by switching into various predicted non-Dragon non-Ice attacks). After that, the terror can begin.
As someone who used it. It is insanely bulky to the point where 4x super effective hits were doing less than 50%
I never understood what smogon does exactly and how do people even follow their rules?
tomorrow I can finally get my copy of Pokemon Sun.. The EU struggle…
I can relate. The struggle is real son.
Not France ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I was hoping for an early delivery today but not happening 🙁
Wait no one knows what Core Enforcer’s power is?
Oops just saw it nvm
SM better get better because I’m bored with this beginning
lol No worries. It does.
Really? The beginning is so much better than other games IMO. I know it’s mostly cutscenes, but it’s actually different than other games.
It’s getting better now, but the part till you battle Liam is boring. I’ve almost 4h into the game and I still haven’t done the first trial
More like 5h lol
I was on like the 2nd island and had already beaten a trail at 4hrs in, and at the 4th island in less then 24hrs and thats going slow lol
My play time is at 30 hours and I just beat the fifth trial.
what are you guys doing to take this much time? 😛
IDK, I’m just trying to explore at my own pace, I’m talking to everybody, catching a ton of things I don’t have, stopping to listen to the music, etc. I’d rather not rush through the game.
this is like the slowest I have gone in a game and I’m doing all those things too, O_o
Hmm. Maybe I am just slow. xD
I just beat the game and my play time was 51 hours. I talk and explore and backtrack everywhere too, but I was also exploring the festival plaza and poke pelago. I spent a good few hours in festival plaza xD
I’m talking to everybody too + I catching the pokemon those people in the pokecenter ask for, etc. I always do this though
My play time is at 19hrs and I’m heading to Mallow’s trial (the 4th?). I returned to Melemele to explore the areas acessible with Lapras.
It gets super good you just gotta be patient and stick out the beginning. I really didn’t think the beginning was too bad honestly
I’m putting my game on complete hold till my brother catches me at least so my team for now (I’ll still train a bit but not progress in the story)
Brionne- Goofball lvl.20
Alolan Grimer- Honeybeard lvl.20
Rockruff- Rufus lvl.17
PC-
Abra- Al lvl.6
Cutiefly- Cutesie lvl.10
Munchlax- Munch lvl.5
Gumshoos- Goose lvl.20
do you use exp share
No I stopped after the first Trial he’s not at that yet and I’m right near Gladion for the first battle v.s. him
i’m thinking of using exp share everytime my pokemon are underleveled compared to strong trainers or using it the whole time, but i’m not sure yet and tomorrow i’m getting the game.
if you don’t use the exp share the game is going to hit you like a brick by the second island and basically murder you past that
so, you suggest me to keep the exp share on the whole game? I want it to be decently challenging
trust me its already decently challenging, if you turn off the EXP share you’re gunna have a bad time imo
hm, dude you are saving me rn, thanks for the advice, i was so confused on what to do, thanks again!
What level should my pkm be by the time I get to the second island?
well my I had a brionne by that point (it evolved right before half fight) and then it evolved again right after the second island kahuna, so I’m going to say about level 16-18
Even with exp share, it’s hard to overlevel by significant amount unless you really explore or try to catch all Pokemon on a route. Like Gen 5 experience gain is reduced when you’re higher level than the encounter.
I will just keep battling every trainer in my way and do sometimes an explore to routes that I like, thanks for the advice tho!
With respect to my team. I had exp. share on for only a little bit before turning it off before the first Island Trial-when I thought I was near the first island Kahuna’s Pokémon level. I should have turned it back on before reaching Po town, because it was at that point that my Pokémon were under leveled compared to my opponents. There is also a big jump of five levels from the strongest trainer on the third island and the fourth island. It is best to keep that in mind.
wow ok i’m totally convinced that I will have it turned on the whole game lol
Well I wouldn’t do that necessarily. I didn’t have too hard of a time without it. What I would recommend is if you have reached a point where trainers have Pokémon levels above you and it is difficult. I would turn Exp share on and grind in the tall grass nearby. I also rotated some Pokémon in and out because I realized I didn’t like them as much as I thought, so the time and exp. spent leveling them up took away what could have gone to other Pokémon. What I am trying to say is play in a way that you feel you will have the most fun.
Hey guys, I’ll be getting moon tomorrow… as of now what’s the opinion on the game?
That it’s the best Pokémon game to date.
This
My Tsareena can’t learn Play Rough unless I breed for it 🙁 Not gonna ditch one of my faves.
Will finally be getting Sun either today or tomorrow, usually Game are good with pre-orders and ship a day earlier than released but I guess we’ll see!
Can’t wait to build up my team and get started. Also to not make it as easy for me since I’m gonna have all 3 starters on my team (start with Litten then hopefully get the other two via trading), I’ll seek them out maybe one after Hala then one after Olivia, makes it fair that way (since I’m able to get Litten, Grubbin & Rockruff on the Melemele)
Who’s gonna be your sixth?
Jangmo-o, so alllll the way at the end! Might space out the two other starters because of that too
Sun and Moon has the best story in pokemon that I have ever played, its my new favourite game
I’ve liked Minior a lot ever since it was announced, but getting to with it has made it once of my favorites of the generation. Though admittedly, I’m in love with almost all the Pokémon from this gen.
the fact that I am in this exact moment catching minior lol
I’m using one right now and it’s growing on me a ton. I’m just glad the out of battle sprite is the colored one.
I think minior looks awful x)
Is Crabrawler rare? I caught one but not with the best nature ever (not sure I’m using it anyway)
+ can I catch rockruff before the first trial?
No, it’s right after the grand trial (battle with Hala).
I guess my popplio will be overpowered then u_u
Rowlet was going to be the only one on my team until the second trial, but since I wanted to avoid that I caught a few Pokemon to try them out. There’s always that option.
I might use crabrawler till I get rockruff then. I’m looking for salandit/rockfuff/vulpix/wimpod/jangmo-o but I don’t think any (besides rockruff) is available on this island
Semi-rare. The issue with crabrawler is that if you don’t find one in a patch, you have to physically wait until the next day to get another shot, you can’t time travel.
You get it from berry piles, which regenerate about once a day. So it is as rare as the number of berry trees you have access to.
If it isn’t large/shaking already it won’t have a crabrawler.
Anyone know how Minior’s ability interacts with Rest?
Follow up: if Komala uses rest does it just get healed?
I don’t think it can learn rest
O__________________o
How do you change the way you throw a pokeball?
There’s a man who regulates that outside the recycling plant of Malie city outskirts.
Okay so I’m not there yet. Thanks
so is it pretty much confirmed at this point that we only get one each of the HGSS poke balls?
What is even the point of putting them in the games? -.-
I caught my ninetales in a love ball, I guess I will save them for special pokemon I am going to have on my online teams, I’m just afraid that they won’t always work and I will lose the ball
My Minior is in a Moon Ball <3
I was catching them all in colour related balls but then I realized they cant pass them down, so I’m saving my moon ball for Mimikyu I think
They can pass them down now actually when bred with Ditto
wait really??? :O awesome!!1
I haven’t done it myself yet but someone on here I think confirmed it
now I just need to figure out which colour I want to use in my moon play through, I’m thinking either purple or yellow
Wait but can ditto still not pass down balls?
nope
D:
So they spent all that time remodeling the apricorn balls for almost nothing??
Not really, I’d use it on something not available in HGSS. Something special.
You know Nintendo, they intentionally make things scarce to make it feel more valuable (Amiibo, NES Classic, limited console colors…)
I’m honestly totally convinced it’s just for breeding.
So hold on, if you catch a ditto in one and breed it with a male Pokémon, will you get that Pokémon in the ditto’s poke ball?
Nah but male/genderless with Ditto with pass the male/genderless Ball
:OOOOOOOOOOOOO
That’s perfect! I’m going to use each of my Johto balls to catch a ditto!
Shoot, I misread it.
Yeah, but what if the pokemon isn’t caught in the ball? Then you’re screwed
GTS but I agree haha
Cutiefly called for help but nobody came. I’m dead xd
Does liquid voice/hyper voice bypass mimikyu disguise?
Those rhimbombees in the praire with the red flowers before Po town are op af. Also catching minior was a pain in a butt but i love him and palossand is amazing
So there are exclusive clothing colors to the other version?
I just realized from looking at my dye shop in Festival Plaza, I don’t have the following colors for normal clothes: Blue, Purple, Navy Blue and Green. Since I have Sun, I guess these are Moon-only colors?
There must be cause my brother who is playing moon has blue and green clothing options, but doesn’t have yellow 🙁 That’s so stupid.
Ah but fortunately the dye shop is a way to get the other version colors. 🙂
They just made certain colors rare. :p
Yeah and it sucks. I just wanted a pink skirt but nope gotta dye it
Yep, I wanted Purple. 🙂
I knew I should’ve done Moon.
ok so Guzma has a terrible personality and he’s like the biggest loser, but damn plumeria is awesome and so is Lusamine
I think Guzma was just shown off to be less serious than he was. Star version will make him better
he acts like a f*ckboi so I doubt it, he tries way to hard to be something he’s not
I want to compile a complete shopping list for competitive breeding ingredients
-Everstones and a Destiny Knot
-the most important thing of ALL is go find and contract Pokerus and spread it, Pokerus is hard to find but easy to spread after
-a gaggle of Pokemon with Syncronize and Trace for scouting
-a shit load of Dittos of the following natures (Adamant, Jolly, Modest, Timid, Impish, Careful) I’ll be breeding trading Dhelmise and Mimikyu for them
-False Swiper to enable Chains and easy captures
-a Flame Body Egg Nanny Magmar, Flechinder
-a route to effectively hatch eggs with little to no effort (I think the longest is route 8)
-Power Items which all cost BP
-Pokepalageo and Festival Plazedeveloped up the wazoo that will help a lot
Is there anything I missed?
I swear I feel I was dealt a low blow
Pokemon XY and ORAS I was a breeding machine, everything so easy and explainable now reduced to ground zero
A 6IV Ditto
I want one but you know they’re rarer then a “Mon-Violent Earthen”
I actually despise the EV training methods this gen. Gen 6 had it so freaking easy….why would they remove that kind of convenience.
I dunno
Jesus where are we going to freaking hyper level
I need my freaking Chansey and Audino slaughterhouse
And Chaining? That means we have to kill like a freaking bajillion in one sitting and what if they don’t call for back up
Ughhhhhh
And I need to compile a new Alolan OU team
do you catch wimpod early in the game?
You can get him before the Grass trial so that’s pretty early
thanks! what about jangmo-o?
right before the final totem
Team Aether has the best theme song
I wish Primarina got Pixilate.
it got something like pixilate lol
Yeah but it’s water type and pixilate would be better so it ca use hyper voice fairy and hydro pump
Does it give those attacks an extra boost like Pixilate? That is my main concern for the ability.
ATLEAST IT GOT A UNIQUE HA UNLIKE MY STARTER *pouts*
Oh did you hear what I did on my championship final blow?
no tell me good sir
It was when I was fighting his Primarina and it KO’d my whole team and Incineroar was only left and i had 14% health and it had 48%
I needed this last attack to be the perfect attack
I called out for the final attack to end it all here
Mega Malicious Moonsault Z!!!
Incineroar’s belt glew blue and black flames as his entire body was cloaked in a red and black fiery aura and dashed foward!
He roared causing a imposing Burning Arean to form from the ground, he leaped onto the ringside and grinned, the pole started to extend upward with Incineroar perched atop
Letting loose one final shout he dived forward!
Twisting and turning like a cyclone his body was descending like a burning meteor!
After three powerful flips he opened his body and black streams of flame ignited from his belt matching his insignia and collided with Primarina!
The entirety of Mount Lanailka felt the aftershocks of such a powerful attack
Incineroar stood tall and triumphant knowing he had won
Intimidate is good tough
ik. i always complain
No, no more Pixilate
I wish Incineroar got a Unique Ability
How about Showboating
“The User’s Attack and Speed increase for every Knocked out Pokemon”
That’s terribly OP
The difficulty on this game is good? Like i always have problems with totem pokemon (especially vikavolt).
I didn’t
My teams naturally ate every totem Pokemon except for Wishiwashi
I legit had nothing against vikavolt. And my magnetom couldnt 2hko mimikyu
Difficulty is based on what people had when they reached the encounter. Even Wulfric says so. <3
no totem swept me. i destroyed wishiwashi with my torracat actually
I havent lost yet, but i lose like 1 or 2 members
I lost once to Lurantis and without revives would have lost to Vikavolt, honestly I’m glad the game gives you so many revives because I have had to use them a lot even when I’m higher levelled then the pokemon I’m facing, id say its just the right amount of difficulty for a pokemon game but just on the edge of being too hard for kids
That castform lurantis combo was so good
I only ever got trumbeak with it, and it killed my ribombee that I was using against it
Yeah it’s MUCH better than the previous gens. Almost as hard as gen 4 so far.
Ok finally I get to the recycling center and the chance to change my Pokeball throw.
Heading to the supermarket of death now… time to toxistall that stupid totem.
http://static.zerochan.net/Mimikyu.full.2018626.jpg
you hurt its feelings
Acerola put it in my way, blame Acerola. :p
noooo i wont
Search your feelings, you know it to be true…
I keep reading it as Areola…
Oh here let me help it
*Kicks it into the river*
there goes the water supplies
WOW totem Mimikyu just swept my team without taking a single damage.
I swept that sucker
all these 1% mon through fishing is really annoying
Did you guys notice there is no special Box backgrounds for completing the main story?
That is a major bummer
Finally, my Shiny Feebas has hatched, 31/XX/31/31/31/31, I’m so happy with him!
http://i.imgur.com/m3t1Dn7.gif
http://data.whicdn.com/images/65281854/large.gif
If it’s male then it sucks
No, it will have blue and look amazing
http://www.animateit.net/data/media/feb2013/r7.gif
Nice!
omg so lucky. I’ve had bad experiences with MM.
So have I, though I’ve had amazing ones too. With Hyper training imperfect IV’s won’t be an issue anymore so that’s good.
I also have a female 31 / 31 / 31 / 28 / 31 / 31 one. Not sure which to use in my eventual Alpha Sapphire run.
This pokemon calling thingy is freaking annoying. Trying to catch a rockruff but it calls another one every round
Literally what happened with me and wishiwashi. It summoned 15 wishiwashis. 15.
I love SOS battles lol
They’re definitely annoying but everyone keeps saying they want more challenge. I kind of appreciate the headache they give me when I’m just encountering or catching random Pokémon.
Cool I have acquired Pokerus from GTS…
Get a bunch of Yungoos or Magikarp and spread it I’ll gladly trade stuff for one
i’ll finish this trial first, then I’ll spread it and just trade me some dex fillers. Got a Haunter or Machoke, in particular?
Whatever you need I’ll gladly find for you
But I’m at work and will be home at 3:15 so we’ll talk business later
No prob. Maybe later then! I already distributed the virus so it’s ready anytime.
Do we get the shiny charm for completing the regional dex?
That’s what I heard.
Yep!
Hey Guys Tommorow is the Release for Sun and Moon in Europe
im on my way to my local Gamestop they call and said i can get the games now
i will start tonight my Moon run im so fuckin Hyped i get both games but i start with moon i take Litten as my partner can somebody give me the other starters soon?
I’ll see if I can breed you a Popplio later
That would be very Kind of you 🙂
Do you want a certain nickname?
No Without nickname please
I can get more Rowlets.
Yes please
It’ll be a while before you have access to Festival Plaza which will let you internet trade. I’m about to take a nap but I’ll just check back periodically if I run into you.
At worst we will have to do GTS trade. No one’s gonna do Yungoos for Rowlet so you can put that up and I’ll put in a Rowlet, just state your In-Game Name so I can find you among the sea of Yungoos on GTS.
My Vulpix for someone’s Sylveon on the GTS, someone actually went for that!? 😮
Well at least it was Snow Warning Vulpix.
Maybe they just had moon and didn’t have anyone to trade with.
Well they were lucky they picked my Vulpix. They get their money’s worth. <3
Sheesh…. anyone else have trouble with Mallow’s totem Pokemon? Took me two tries…….what a pain in the butt lol
My brother fought it 7 times before he beat it. He only won because he used an X attack o trumbeak.
Like seriously. After I died the first time I had to think about my strategy before going in. And even then it was tough. My plan for the totems was to keep them alive for the final kill, but this time I had to take it down and then take out its helper mon……*sigh* lol
I like that they made X items viable for the campaign. I still just sell them though lol
Pollen Puff Ribombee OP 😛
rhimbobees are OP they are so fast and hit like a truck
I’m super excited to hunt my shiny one then
It took me one try, but considering three Pokemon fainted, not exactly what I’d call easy.
just wait until mimikyu
How Totem Mimikyu went:
Turn 1: U-Turn
Turn 2: Bulldoze
Turn 3: Bulldoze
Turn 4: Bulldoze
I win! But the AOE Pokemon almost fainted.
I’m having so much trouble. My team is not at all equipped to deal with fairy or ghost.
What is your favorite Ultra Beast? Mine is UB-02 Beauty
besides the box art legends
From what I’ve seen the Origami one and Glutton.
Pheromosa is broken
I don’t like any of them design wise. But Xurkitree is my favourite to use competitively.
How is it broken I’m curious?
Is basically a carbon copy of deoxys and has stab uturn so she can flee trouble
Oh hype
What nature is best for it when I hunt it? Adamant?
She can go mixed so i would go something that lowers defense and increase attack or speed whatever you prefer
151 base speed. And 137 mixed offences. HJK, Bug Buzz, Ice Beam, U-Turn hit everything really hard. Combine all that with the ability Beast Boost. Combine even more with Tapu Lele to remove priority…
What does beast boost do?
Every time you knock out an opponent it boosts your highest stat. So depending on how you’ve EV trained your Pheromosa it will get a boost in its Attack, Special Attack or Speed whenever you KO something…
Guzzlord and Buzzwole
Buzzwole and Guzzlord
Guzzlord and Buzzwole
I got a Careful Guzz and Jolly Buzz so I’m set for life
I thought Guzzlord was Lighting at first because Guzma 😛
Guzzlord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Xurkitree is pretty cool 🙂
No
Either Celesteela or Kartana.
oh man, I don’t even know. I haven’t taken to much of a look at them yet, ive been filling my pokedex up. if I had to say first glance, Xurkitree, Pheromosa, or Celesteela
the greenish one with the pillars and stuff
lusamine battle was amazing. Her team not only has a theme but is strong af plus her battle with song? Iconic
The most fun part of competitive battling: When a Pokémon I love design wise is really strong and viable
The least fun: When a gross ugly Pokémon is stronger
Fun: Tsareena
Least fun: bewear and his incredible bulk
The least fun part: How I feel about every single Ultra Beast…
Fun: When a Pokemon I’m hyped for is GOOD. Or even better, when a Pokemon I’m hyped for is “I love it, but it’s gonna be low tier” (RU or something) and it becomes OU!
Least fun: Winning with hax
Ok Tapu Bulu is broken as fuck
Nope. Zyagrde Complete was broken. Pheromosa is broken. Tapu Bulu just hits really hard…
And doesn’t die

My first win
And that guy was a jackass
I’ve been on the first island for 7h now xd
Halfway across the third island at 40*! 🙂
Let’s take our time, folks!
* Some people have beaten it at 20.
I don’t have that much tiiiime, I have stuff for uni but I also don’t want to rush through the game.
It’s nighttime now and idk if I should change the clock or not (not really a fan of playing at night) hmm..
Don’t change the 3DS clock unless it’s to 11:59pm, because you’ll be locked out of timed events for 24 hours, and you should probably only sacrifice one day instead of (what seems like) two.
Besides finding Crabrawler is there anything worth not changing the clock for?
Just checked the events on serebii and they’re are not worth playing at night tbh x)
It took me 11 hours to beat the kahuna.
By the time I got to him I wanted to get it over with asap. I also wanted my Popplio to evolve after the battle, so it took me a few tries
Well I didn’t get much time to play Sun yesterday, but I now have 6 trials completed! I’d say my team is at a pretty good spot 🙂 Time to head to Ula’Ula Meadow. (RF)
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/049ad3356a3936bca57d15364618f777e1f3fc43bcb009346d0e4e3f2c2742af.jpg
No big holes in the setup, except for the bit of a Rock weakness in half the team, I guess.
Yeah, 4 of them are weak to Rock 😛 Thankfully, my Decidueye and Snorlax can take on Rock types with ease.
you seem over levelled as heck, but maybe I just don’t remember my team at that point
I’ve had Exp. Share on. The NPC Pokémon right now are on their early-mid 30s, so I’m not TOO overleveled. Except for maybe Decidueye.
I had EXP share on the whole game and at points I was underleveled O_o
I guess I spent a bit too much time grinding xD
Woah my team must be underleveled. They’re around level 30 and I’m doing the sixth trial.
I like your team… I’m only on Route 2 right now… Looking for my Crabrawler but I’m also juggling both versions so I don’t get too far ahead in on version.
Ok freaking Aegislash needs to go, also the Ultra Beasts
All theses teams are littered with them
Or maybe you should try a different team?
I find it funny that Professor Burnett looks like she’s sunburned!
How do you do S.O.S. battles?
Or when can you do S.O.S. battles?
Get them wild encounters low, and wait for allies to come. Adrenaline Orbs + low life increases the chance they will call for an ally.
So it can happen at any time in the game?
Yep, any wild encounter can become an SOS battle.
Also, totems always try to get allies.
i think you need to complete the first totem encounter first for it to happen.
And it’s the only way to get Mareanie?
its how had to find it, fish up a corsola, and force it to call for help. corsola can be fished up 5% of the time in its available locations
Cool, I’m probably nowhere near where they are, I’m only on Route 2 for both versions. I’m trying to up my levels cause it sounds like the game is pretty difficult. And I don’t want one version to be too far ahead of the other one. Mareanie is on my team, and I still haven’t done the first trial so.
Late game spoiler but god damn A certain black jellyfish of death just totally destroyed me with its pink wall of doom, why does that thing have magic guard!!!
hardest battle I have ever fought in my life tbh
if you notice, all of that trainers pokemon (bar bewear because he doesn’t have a mean bone in his body) have sinister expressions on their faces. nice touch. also, hardest battle? did you do the battle frontier in emerald/platinum/HGSS?
yes I did and I stand by what I said, really though it was just that first pokemon that like murdered my fairies all the others were fine
alright. I always thought factory head Nolan/thorton were the hardest, because I don’t get to choose my team. torton in particular took me many tries to defeat.
I barely had any trouble when I fought said opponent
-_- k. I guess its all in the teams you choose then, I mean the final totem pokemon in the game I killed in one hit while I’m sure others had trouble with it
I had little trouble because I timed my Z move and switch ins perfectly. That and my team was pretty bulky and hard hitting.
I’ve only had to use a Z move like once in the game, I keep forgetting it exists
Tbh, for me, I’m fairly sure I killed her pink wall of death in 2 hits
I used poison on it and everything and it still took out 5 of my fairies
I think I only lost one mon
nah that final totem wasn’t just you, my primarina ate it in one shot,
THAT PART WAS INSANE I LOVED IT
IT WAS SO GOOD
LIKE I WANTED TO BATTLE HER DIRECTLY AND I WANTED TO SEE OTHER ULTRA FUSIONS LIKE GUZMA OR PLUMERIA OR… IDK BUT ITS AWESOME
same
What about the battle vs Kukui
im not there yet… so thanks for that :/
Sorry dude. I didn’t mean to spoil! *hands you a box of cookies to make it up to you*
Is there a good place for hatching eggs in this game or no? ORAS was perfect, but I don’t expect something that awesome for these games lol
The vertical route next to the nursery is already the best. No more circular place.
(Festival Plaza doesn’t work.)
Gotcha thanks
poke pelago hints that you can put eggs in the hot springs of Isle Avue. not sure if this helps with hatching or not.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-481206731
something interesting about the post game plot: Annabel is said to have gone through the ultra wormhole, they refer to her as a “faller”, a human who has done so, and has no recollection of themselves as a result. they only remember minor details of what they were on the other side. “she was the guardian of some tower, a battle brain”. We know, by reading the files at aether, that professor Mohn discovered the ultra wormholes and the existence of the ultra beasts. we also know, by reading lilies diary at kukui’s loft, that her father disappeared, causing lusamine to go crazy trying to reconnect with him. Mohn also happens to be the name of the Poke Pelago guy, a blonde gentleman with Bright green eyes who works with pokemon in the storage system. a callback to his previous career that he cant remember? One more thing: When wefound looker at the end of ORAS, what condition was he in? He was found washed up; near where the BATTLE TOWER would be in another universe, unable to remember how he got there, or what he was doing there, only his code name: Looker. mind blown. what are you up to, Gamefreak? what happened to the other universe? did the Ultra Beasts destroy it?
The plot thickens.
Seriously the lore this time around is amazing.
If you think you’re overleveled, here’s my team after defeating the haunted supermarket…
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7624fe974fd39cbe6ce743909483c31ec0107c7a93b426b41d72411e5f6eee59.jpg
my god
I think chaining my HA Vulpix, exploration and abusing the GTS did this. 🙂
lol this is nothing, in X, I didn’t find anything I wanted until pretty late, so I had a Lv 40 Chesnaught and a lv 40 Vivillon at the 2nd gym. even worse, my friend played pokemon platinum, and had his Empoleon lv 50 in Eterna forest by grinding double battles with Cheryl.
Ha! Same.
Wow. I’ve done a lot of exploring myself but this is on an entirely different level xD
My Pokémon are in the early 30s and I just visited the Aether Foundation after battling Olivia. Will I be in good shape? (No spoilers)
Yeah you are good
Yeah, though just to be safe you may want to grind a little
Will do, especially my Oranguru which is still in its early 20s 🙁
Right now (and you’re just a bit behind me) trainers are 33+ and wild encounters are up to level 31…
So you should be more than OK.
when i was there, i was like 10 levels below you haha
My team is around level 29 and I’m there right now.
Ugh……I can’t seem to find a Pokemon that wants to breed with my Mareanie. I’ve tried both Greninja and Dewpider. Both of which are apparently compatible, but idk……
Get a ditto fam. They are on the route with the electric trial
Ugh….but I’m not there yet!! lol
probably because its mean and spiky
I would’ve thought Corsola would’ve worked…
PSA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4SfwWwdrfM
It’s Lumiose City all over again, only this time with Pokemon Centers. Apparently it’s a rare glitch that occurs, but if you save inside a Pokemon Center, it’s possible the game will not be able to load your character and will render your save useless as there’s no way to recover your character without modding the game. Try to refrain from saving in Pokemon Centers until a patch is released.
I did this once :O thanks for the heads up
That’s odd, I never encountered this issue in Sun.
Apparently it’s rare that it occurs, but there have been multiple reports of this happening now.
Oh now I’m going I be paranoid I saved in a Pokémon Center every time I turn off the game
Oh no I’ve been saving in pokemon centers o.o Now I’m freaking out
Hey don’t freak out, nothing has happened to your game thankfully, but it’s better to be safe than sorry now until it gets fixed like XY did 🙂
Yeah but the last time I save was in a pokemon center so now I need to check when I get home and go save somewhere else.
Luckily I never turn off my game. I save but I just shut my 3DS
That’s good to know. I think I may have saved and quit in a Pokemon Center before, but I can’t remember. At least now I know to stay away for a while from doing that lol
Well that’s good to know. Thanks!
Words can’t describe how much I love Pokémon Sun and Moon. The different day and night themes, Trial Captains being battleable AND being seen outside of the trial, the variety in locations, all the extra things like Festival Plaza, not to mention an amazing plot…
I’d have to say these are my favorite games to date! I’m only about halfway through, but the whole UB/Aether Foundation plot line is very intriguing.
They’re my favorite Pokémon games since HG/SS.
The challenge of these games is very reminiscent of HGSS, even with the EXP Share.
same, these games are something else, definitely my favorite since ORAS.
So…the previous Pokémon games? xD
well, yeah. I loved Ruby/sapphire/emerald. sure, I miss the battle frontier, but characters I thought were very unique and colorful in the originals looked like blank canvas’s compared to the characters they gave us in ORAS. also, it gave me some of my favorite pokemon, like M-Altaria, my favorite mega evolution.
BE PREPARED TO HAVE FEELS LIKE NEVER BEFORE. The story of Sun and Moon are INCREDIBLE. These games surpass even the best Mystery Dungeon story lines imo. ❤️❤️❤️
That’s exciting to hear! I can’t wait to see how it all unravels!
I literally cried at the end. No lie.
Whoa… the hype is real
Earlier in my playthrough, when I was grinding my Salandit in the jungle to catch it up with the rest of my team, I was in the jungle so long that it started raining. The next Pokémon I encountered triggered an SOS battle and Goomy came to its side. I love Goomy so I decided to capture it, and I’m so glad that I did! Looking at Serebii now, I guess SOS battles in the rain are the only way to find them! 😮
FINALLY evolved into Palossand! Man he’s frail until he evolves
Don’t save at the Battle Tree either.
https://twitter.com/Desuwott/status/801131631067197440
YEESH, stay safe people!! This is XY all over again! Glad an update should be out by the time I play
this is why i barely turn off my 3ds
I named Solgaleo Nebby
Today just got kinkier… I got a certain special delivery… It may be S&M related….
Sun and Moon arrived a day early!!! Thanks Nintendo online store.

Sadly though this week I have a supposed month’s worth of research project work to complete, two coursework titles to come up with, and 2 essays to write, so these are going to stay snug, warm and unopened until next wednesday…
No need to feel sorry for me, I completely dug my own grave here haha. Plus I willingly spoilt myself all but some specific plot points from the main plot, so it’s not like the wait is that bad (I’d probably would have done my work by now had that not been the case haha).
Just gonna leave them on the shelf to motivate me…
are those little figures a pre-order thing? When I pre-ordered here the woman gave my the tiniest little pokemon moon pin that any child could make if they had a button machine
Yeah, in the UK if you got early preoders from GAME (or preorders from the official store when game had run out and was doing crappy mini-posters instead), you could get these!
I would have loved a poster, the pin is literally garbage lol but I cant complain too much you guys had to wait like a week later
It was a postcard-sized poster ( or maybe just a little larger) from the early “People and pokémon of Alola” artwork, that you could literally print on your computer for free, so pretty crap in comparison to figures :p
if you live in the US, you can get those figurines from the alola collections for the TCG.
I live in canada and those things are like $70 lol
curse u pokemon for making me buy pokemon cards
I have a beautiful collection!
anyone know when we get our first Global Mission?
Contrary to what I’ve been hearing, Lana’s trial was pretty easy (Dartrix/Charjabug sweep) but I lost to Kiawe twice. I had to improvise by giving Crabrawler the Water Z-Stone and teaching it Scald. Eventually, it worked!
I beat wishiwashi with torracat.
What? That’s incredible!
the AI used soak it was all over from there
LOL
yeah, same about the 2nd trial. it used growl turn one, then I locked it into growl with encore for the remainder of the fight.
It was funny during Mallow’s trial because the SOS Castform used Sunny Day and made my Salandit’s attacks more powerful! LOL
I’ll sweep Kiawe with Wishiwashi. He won’t see it coming
Don’t touch mah man
It must be done for the greater good
His fire will always prevail
I’ve lost to Hau once, totem Lurantis once, a wild Cutiefly once (it had a lot of friends, ok?), totem Salazze once, and now I’ve lost to Mimikyu at least once.
that mimikyu was the hardest totem to me. I didn’t lose, but all of its stats boosting gave me some trouble.
Play rough is WAY to powerful for my team.
yep. I had incredibly frail pokemon, lycanrock midday with a defense hindering nature didn’t like those playroughs at all. bewear ate them up though. Bewear’s ,massive HP + fluffy= real bulk
I can’t even get off a single move against it with 4/6 of my Pokemon. Ugh.
I haven’t lost a battle yet but I got very very close. Totem Mimikkyu, Totem Lurantis, and Hau all brought my Pokemon down to one. Also Kahuna Nanu….
why is pokemoncenter selling $50 shirts LOL.
Pokemoncenter.com is outrageously overpriced.
they had better make a stufful/bewear plush, and if they put an additional tag on stufful, I’m going to rage.
They’ll put a tag on stufful’s tag
Genius
Tagception….. (BWAAAAAAAAAAAA……)
is there anyway to report festival plaza trainers? I have had this guy with the name, and sorry if I offend anyone, BURNT-NGGER here since I got the game and.,…. I don’t really want him here anymore.
wtf
that’s what I thought. I censored it for fear of the ban hammer, but the guys name is just uncensored, I thought this game had auto censors in it?
It does have a censor, but the second word is not spelled correctly, you can’t expect the censor to get every possible misspelling.
I misspelled it here on disqus to avoid any possible ban (not even sure if that’s a thing) but his was spelled correctly.
IIRC they removed the censors on this one because the system was kinda shoddy and it was having ridiculous censoring effects on pokémon names, especially foreign transferred ones…
Oh, haha. They forgot that. Well just block and cycle him out and forget him.
I’m sorry, but I lol’d at that. It is offensive though and he should be banned. There are little kids.
Reminds me of my brother
He’s an absolute potty mouth and his World of Warcraft character got reported twice
He was a Gnome Rogue under the name Lilkunt
And he just never shuts up, I can hear him cursing through the basement and whenever I call it out on him he responds that he has free speech and he shouldn’t change if he’s offending someone
The Genesect distribution ends thursday and I don’t have time to go to game tomorrow :/ ….
Is there any absolute angel who’d have a spare PAL region genesect code?
Or failing that, a spare Genesect? It’d be the only 20th anniversary ‘mon that would be missing from my collection :/
(This applies to ORAS/XY obvs)
In exchange you can have my eternal gratitude, and I have a stockpile of the 20th anniversary mythicals distributed over Wi-fi so I’d be glad to trade one over (which I’m pretty certain I haven’t collected in X so I can even SR for any desired nature)!
Do note I can’t access the wi-fi at uni on the 3DS though so the trade could only happen in 2 weeks!
If I get multiple offers and one of them is a code, I’ll take that in priority, but if a person offers a trade first I’ll still give them a mythical if they want one (first come first served, so I’m giving out a maximum of 2 :p )
Sorry for spamming, this will be my one and only post, but I’d really love to have a complete collection!
Wait does the glitch thing happen directly after/during the save or does it happen when you reload your file? I’m scared that this happened to me right now, I save in centers a lot.
I’m assuming it’s when you reload the file
Shoot. If this happened to me would it be fine if I didn’t reload until a patch was released and I had it downloaded?
I don’t know :/ I imagine you could play and check though because this glitch seems like it just freezes your game when you open your save file. So if when you open it it’s frozen, just turn it off and wait for a patch. If not, you’re all good and make sure to be careful where you save.
I might as well see if it happened or not. D:
Yeah, I would. Odds are you’re all good though 🙂
Phew, it’s fine. I don’t know what I would’ve done if it hadn’t. I know I don’t have anything super special or rare, but losing all progress would suck.
of course most of the mons i need are 1% encounter rate gg
Makes actually getting one rewarding though, and it makes owning one kinda special! Think of it like that, you’re working hard to realise your objectives, doesn’t it make your aventure more engrossing from that perspective?
it gets tedious when magikarp hasa 70% encounter rate and fishing is totally different now
Until people are giving them away like candy. xD
VGC 17 Sandstorm
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7vgc2017-481257108
I wish that VGC had a side tournament of singles. I can’t win in doubles for the life of me, but I’m actually pretty good in singles.
Doubles is definitely harder, imo. My brain struggles to predict what my opponent wants to do in doubles. In OU I’ve made some hella pro calls and won because of them. But VGC I’m just like… uuuh. I THINK I should Protect this turn? lol
Plus the constant use of legendary Pokemon inexplicably annoys me.
Eh. Only sub 600 base stat Legendaries get in. Other than weird years like last year. So the pseudos have higher BSTs.
It’s more personal preference than anything. I like teams that try to use more uncommon strategies that don’t use them, like your team for instance.
It’s not just VGC either, during the main story and everything I despise legendary Pokemon.
Oh definitely. I do agree with that. And Legendaries are not allowed on my story teams.
I can’t play any more video games today, my eyes hurt xd
Psst, who needs healthy eyes when you have Pokemon?
Can’t enjoy the game when I’m mentally tired + my eyes hurt : / I stopped at the ranch
Using headphones in the abandoned supermarket is disgusting. Did anyone else do this?
I immediately shut my 3DS to grab them when I realized they were rocking the music in there.
Rocking? You mean the switch from ear to ear?
Rocking as in it was awesome. So very very cool and eerie.
Oh. Is the switch from ear to ear just my headphones messing up on me?
No. that’s the game. It helps make a creepy atmosphere
Good to know. Personally though I’m not a fan of the ear switch thing.
Oh I love when music takes advantage of stereo sound. Very immersive.
It’s fine when it’s used properly, but completely muting one ear for a second or so kills the theme IMO.
Nah it’s a broken down, haunted store. So it’s like a broken speaker is playing it over the intercom system in the store.
It makes sense a little, but you’d still hear broken speaker through both ears.
The Champion battle was the most difficult Champion I’ve faced since Steven Stone in Ruby. Took me a few attempts, holy crap the bulk on some Pokemon and the fact that my moves would miss at the most inopportune times was frustrating…but all the more fun because of the challenge. Now back then I was a kid and didn’t know any better, but for my playthrough of Moon, I had rules of Battle Style on “set” and no healing items during battles. I broke the no healing items rule the time I won ;~; But only because I wanted Decidueye to finish off the fight with Sinister Arrow Raid…I still would’ve won because my last Pokemon was Magmortar at full health. I love this game, I want to play it again!
I won using Solgaleo because the rest of my team was dead and I had no revives left. I just cosmic powered and full restored to get as bulky as possible, then busted out the attacks
I was actually considering using Lunala the finish the story because I felt it was fitting regarding everything that happened. But decided not to xD
I had Solgaleo, Incineroar, Misdreavus, Meganium, Toucannon, and Alolan Muk as the team I beat the game with.
How many mons did you have alive when you beat the Champ battle. I had 2 Solgaleo and Incineroar, with Incineroar at like half health. The rest of my team was dead.
Only 2, I had Decidueye who finished it, and Magmortar who was still at full health.
Okay I seriously need tips for totem mimikyu. I’ve lost 3 times now. My team is:
Dartrix LV 31
Minior LV 31
Crabrawler LV 29
Salandit LV 30
Golisopod LV 31
Komala LV 30
Here are some issues:
– Komala can’t touch them at all. It literally can’t do anything.
– Salandit has toxic, which was my strategy, but it can’t get off any moves before being OHKO’d by shadow claw.
– Minior has gyro ball but can’t withstand more than 2 turns, and I use one of those knocking out the disguise.
Any ideas?
Man, Mimikyu was one of the easiest for me. I had Decidueye by then, used Spirit Shackle first turn to get rid of Disguise. I then survived a Sucker Punch from the Haunter and a Shadow Claw from Mimkyu, and OHKO’d Mimikyu with Sinister Arrow Raid.
Try leading with Golispod and First Impression to get rid of the disguise quickly maybe. Save Minior in the back end to finish up.
Should I knock out the haunter or not waste my time on it?
Focus on Mimikyu. Haunter is easy enough to take out afterwards.
I’ll try that next, thanks!
If you have access to Psychic save that Pokémon to deal with Haunter afterwards.
Minior has that. Thanks!
Accelerock
Then switch to Mudsdale and used Heavy Slam easy peasy
Something else: Golisopod can either withstand one or two turns, depending on how things go. Should I spend those setting up sand attacks?
Did you stock up on revives and healing items?
I have three revives, but it’d feel like a waste since they could only last one turn or so anyway.
Get a better team
What lvl is the Mimikyu?
33
You seem a little underleveled to me. Try grinding up a bit.
Where’s that Vs Seeker when you need one
Back in gen 4. 🙁
In my opinion the best method of rebattling regular trainers and they just done away with it after Gen 4…smh
2018
Evolve dartix
I don’t really want to grind, the whole reason I’m not using the EXP share is to put a handicap on myself. Plus it’d feel good to win from strategy. Even if it wasn’t mine. xD
Git gud
thnx
Haven’t come close but I’m kinda good at in game strategy though first off
-What is Komala’s moveset?
-What is Salandit’s moveset?
-Pretty much what are Crabrawler and Golisopds movesets?
-Minior’s Defensive capability?
Komala’s moveset is irrelevant, it can’t do anything.
All crabrawler has that effects them is bubble beam.
Golisopod:
– First Impression
– Sucker Punch
– Sand Attack
– Leech Life
Salandit:
– Toxic
– Dragon rage
– Flame burst
– double slap
Minior can withstand two turns if it leads off the battle, one turn if it doesn’t.
Can Mimikyu be hit through Disguise with Toxic? Do you have any attack or speed lowering attacks?
Actually I’m not sure. And no.
Hmm
Iirc you’re only a few levels off evolving Salandit, so maybe evolve it and then make use of Toxic?
I’m trying the toxic disguise thing now.
I just lost Salandit without even getting off a move.
Totem Mimikyu is Satan confirmed?
100%
I just thought use Oder Slueth with something I suggest Gumshoos with Strong Jaw ability and Crunch or Bite and a Normalium Z crystal
Hmm. I could go grab one from route 11.
Yeah yet sadly Fairy got no nerf from Dragon like Ghost got from Normal so Dragon rage is useless ?
Tbh Dragon Rage would probably get Salandit killed if it had to use an Immunity nullifying move first
Actually just looked so you have TM Payback if so give Komala the move it could work
Oh I didn’t even think about that. Thanks! 😀
Don’t mention it I’m in a good mood cause my break just started
Enjoy it man! I’ve been on break for a while actually, and I’m really happy about the lucky timing. 😀
Train up Dartrix until it evolves into Decidueye and learns Spirit Shackle. Use Spirit Shackle the first turn because of disguise, then use Sinister Arrow Raid. Then Spirit Shackle again for the Haunter.
I like your taste. I was hoping to sweep with Salazzle (gonna train up to 35, still at Aether Paradise) but I’m not sure. My advice would be grind some more? I beat Olivia with a team of early 30s.
Ok I think I’m starting to like this team
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-481275172
Mind if someone rate it while I finish my shift?
I FINALLY HAVE SUN AND MOON FAN EDITION!! <3 <3 <3
Got the £££ from dad

Can’t believe its only 4~ hours until I get SuMo! 😀
SM.
I don’t know why but I hate when people call it SuMo. xD
I don’t mind any abbreviation tbh, it’s just that SuMo is the one my autocorrect remembers XD
Oh lol
S&M is better :p
No, do you know what kind of stuff that is?! Do you want kids looking that up!
This is what bothers me!!
If we just stopped thinking of it like that then we wouldn’t have any issue saying Pokemon SM.
You’re right i should have thought before typing sorry
Damn Scottish money is ugly
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/92d285b05690dbc813c424c19d7a0f75a4b64cd23f068b06f51fa7acbebac234.jpg
That face when you can’t beat totem Mimikyu
Can’t wait to scream in pain tbh
I haven’t started playing yet but the National Pokedex is annoying tf out of me :/
I gotta admit, it sucks, but I’m learning to deal with it.
I just don’t see why not it’s the laziest thing they have done this gen so far even though these could potentially be the best Poiemon games ever
There is a N dex in bank
TBF it makes sense seeing at least until remakes you’ll realistically need bank for a living Dex
But if i’m playing and suddenly want to look up a Pokemon i have to close the game
In fairness it’s not like I read the dex like a dictionary all that often.
I look in the National dex often and for me it’s like leaving half the actors out of the credits
I feel like i’m whining too much i’ll stop now lol
Nah, it’s a legit complaint
I guess….STILL HYPED THOUGH!!!
It’s annoying, but it’s not a big deal for me. As long as I can store all my pokemon on S/M, I’m good.
What scares me is that this is one step closer to not including every Pokemon in every game.
Like if they left out sprites?
Left out data entirely. As in, any Pokemon not in the regional dex couldn’t be in the game. I seriously doubt it’ll ever happen, but it scares me to think about.
That would destroy the game for me
Yeah it’ll likely never happen.
Ugh Pichu has a 5% encounter rate. Been running the grass for almost an hour now
Oh no i want a pichu for my team 😮
I found one Rockruff koh’d the damn thing
I encountered two and killed both with one Echoed Voice ffs
For those of you who played SuMo, or are playing it: how similar is your actual team to your planned team?
3 Pokemon off
I should have said which ones. xD
I forgot. Again.
Mimikyu -> Komala
Oricorio -> Minior
Lycanroc -> Golisopod
Komala is perf tbh, is it any good?
Has the same attack as Tapu Koko lol
And Incineroar
I love it
Amazing. It’s bulky enough and has an astronomical attack stat.
YASS
Where can you catch it?
Route 11, near Malie city. Basically available as soon as you get to Ula’Ula.
I switched Komala for Mimikyu but everyone is the same
I literally started 2 hours ago and have Pikipek, Rowlet and Grubbin. Basically what I wanted beforehand
I ditched Pikipek for Oricorio (I was between the two) and Komala
Mostly the same so far
Brionne
Rockruff
Grimer
The team I beat the game with was: Incineroar, Solgaleo, Meganium, Misdreavus, Alolan Muk, and Toucannon
Planned > Actual
Palossand > Mudsdale
Oricorio > Crabominable
Dugtrio > Persian
Persian is best cat
Primarina – Planned but I chose Litten until the leaks
Salazzle – Salandit grew on me so I had it on my team since
Lycanrock – Day instead of Night
Mimikyu – Had it since announcement
Raichu – Was goona have Pikipek but then my dreams died
Tsareena – Went back and forth between Tsareena and Lurantis. I made the right choice
I beg to differ. About the right choice thing.
It should’ve been bug type
But that defeats its whole premise
That’s the point.
The only thing I switched was Alolan Exeggutor for Vikavolt, because I wanted that Grass/Dragon typing. Oh yeah, also Crabominable for Passimian.
My team is to the point
But that’s boring 😮
Very different, but I’m having a blast!
Should I eventually when I get there switch Grimer for Sandshrew?
Compare both and see what works
Ok cause my team depends on them knowing I may want to replace one with Poison or Dark type
Salazzle boi
TBF though I’ve heard it’s tedious to catch a female without luck
And it and Muk have totally separate niches on a team
It took me two hours to find one.
*Cute Charm farming intensifies*
Honestly thank God Tsareena is always female becuase Salazzle and Primarina are gonna kill me
Good luck
Seeing as I’m going to the midnight release and I have school tomorrow I’m probably just going to soft reset for a Popplio and then fall asleep XD
It’s so worth it though
Well Sandshrew isn’t until after you catch the legendary so
i thought it was at tapu village
It is at Tapu Village, can vouch for thus
Oh really? Oh that’s actually nice
No
Dont want any spoilers but can someone tell me where I can catch Rockruff and Cutiefly? I’m grinding around Hau’oli City atm
Cutiefly-Route 3 & Melemele Meadow
Rockruff-Ten Carat Hill (where you fight the demo Totem)
Both are near the end of your Melemele adventure
cutiefly is just a little further ahead, but rockruff isnt until after you beat Hala
I found Cutiefly on Route 2 after the Cemetery
OMG YES SO SOON THEN <3
Has anyone tried the new shiny method yet?
No not really unless you mean on purpose letting Caterpie summon allies to train
My friend did. He gave up when it struggled to death.
Moral of the story: be sure to alternate the Pokemon you faint occasionally.
I haven’t tried the method yet, but when I was trying to catch a Petilil, I used a move that hits both pokemon and it brought it to yellow. It called for another Petilil, so I used the move again and brought the other to yellow. It called for another Petilil, and repeated that for a good 7 Petilils!
Idk how effective it is, but it seemed to work well.
I did. Turns out flame burst some times hits two Pokémon
Rip
What were you hunting?
Cutiefly ;-;
At least I got use Lycanrock who I now love
FINALLY I CAUGHT PICHU <3
YOU SHOUKD HAVE WAITED FIR OIKACHU
BUT NASTY PLOT
Oikachu
NO BECAUSE PICHU IS CUTEST THING EVER
AGREED
Upvoted for truth!
OMG I GOT 10 ultra balls and I’m not even at the first trial yet 😀
The game being nice before Healing items and clothes starve you for money
WHERE CAN I BUY CLOTHES?
There’s a few boutiques, I know Hau’oli has one
WHAT? where
It’s in the shopping district if it’s the same as the demo
Omg there goes my 80k Pokedollars lol
Picture from demo:

That’s 7 losses now. I guess it’s really time to *sigh* grind. 🙁
Sorry to ask, but does anyone have a six IV ditto?
I doubt anyone would this early. I may be wrong, but I’d say don’t count on it.
I’m tempted to Pkhex one in at this point….
Ugh
Do it. And then do it again. And then trade me one
Nuuuu
…If I knew how to work it….
My game from Nintendo came with an oversized classic style game manual like the type that used to be in the case 😀
So what’s that structure off the shore of route 14 supposed to be the ruins of?
When do I get a Lucky Egg and Exp.Share?
Idk about lucky egg, but EXP share is given to you by Kukui at the trainer school
Item listing on Serebii says Lucky Egg can be found on route 1
Ok
I heard that lucky egg is given to you in Kukui’s lab once you see 50 Pokemon in the dex. Hence its location showing as ‘route 1’ on Serebii.
When do we get Machamp Shove? 😮
Poni island
;-;
Energy Ball and Supersonic Skystrike are at the end of the game then? ;-;
I guess?
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3be732d6cc187bfde3c2bf738ae2b59d8682978a98d49ebe0c4f0ed8ca2aa60e.gif
Got my game today! Squee! I’m already at the point where you can trade so if anyone’s IV breeding already please give me a shout, there’s some Pokemon I need and will pay you in 6th gen mythicals, thankies 🙂

I don’t really play doubles all that much
But I imagine the Tapus will be everywhere.
It’s mostly Bulu and Koko, Lele is quite rare, probably because it screws over Prankster and Triage, and Fini has the worst Terrain for doubles
Yeh I can imagine. Bulu and Koko probably have the least draw backs. Lele will screw with fake out shenanigans and Fini is kind of useless. I guess weather (specifically rain) will be as dominant as ever. I honestly don’t see Hail becoming that popular despite its buffs, Rain is just too good.
I’ve been running Hail + Grassy Terrain, it cancels out Hail’s negatives whilst letting Aurora Veil, Blizzard and Slash rush proper.
But Rain and Sun are Definetley going to be more prominent, I actually feel Sun will be more dominant since its setters aren’t weak to electric or grass which is a huge boon with Koko and Bulu running about
Bet no one is looking but puppy wants a mimikyuu xD https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4542b376c27f919dd18242ae0464b35d89f0d4bd4be83f6bf4156fe675229dd0.jpg
Went and bought some TMs. Now Golisopod and Komala have payback and shadow claw.
Something I thought was poorly planned out: immeadiatly after the first battle royal with Hau and Gladion, the battle royales are all level 50 Pokemon, and the game doesn’t bump your Pokemon up to that level. So after they hype up this mode, it becomes unplayable for a while.
Completely agree. So I played some Free Royal battles on Battle Spot and I’ve had a great time with that. I can’t wait to get more into Royals once I start getting competitive Pokémon ready.
I can’t wait for. . . BATTLE FRIDAYS!!!!!
I will actually die of happiness if we successfully set up competitive and non competitive tourneys
Out of curiosity, would anyone want to do anything Christmas related? Like a Secret Santa trade, or a Christmas themed tourney, etc
I know it’s not for another month but I still feel it could be really exciting!
I’d be up for a tourney.
Not a fan of secret Santa exchanges.
Yeah I can’t do secret Santa…by law
I’m sure sending someone a Pokémon ain’t gonna get you on any trouble :p
Oh I thought you meant gift.
Nah, that’d be hella tricky to settle over PJ, and I don’t want to sound rude but I’ve only known all of you guys for a few months :s
No I’d totally be up for a trade.
I’m referring to the “other” times
*Montage of people relieving extremely dangerous and lethal gifts*
If there was a secret santa, there would probably need to be some sort of guideline so that people weren’t sending pikipeks and getting 5IV pokemon in return.
Definetley!
I would maybe be interested, but it depends how far I get into S/M. Most of my good stuff is stuck in gen 6
Tbh I think a lot of it will just be shinies, seeing as the shiny charm is easier to get now and chaining is quite reliable
How about no hackmons? 😛
^This
Unless its shiny… .I’d want a 5IV shiny Pikipek
I would put in a level 100 magikarp probably
Do you get salandit on the second or the third island?
second
Cool, thanks!
Second island, about before the third trial.
when can i get type: null? is it post game?
Yep post game
Yeah, Gladion gives you one
He also gives you assortments of drives to give Type Null.
Ok Celeessteela is super broken
Which one is that? White Diamond?
Little miss spams leech seed and protect, and letting beast boost make it a threat
RIP
My diamond… your diamond
PINK DIAMOND!!!!
PINK DIAMOND?! Diancie! Where where where!
ded
RIP. Also where do you get the Diancite?
You can’t just call something broken because you struggle with it. Celesteela is set up bait by anything that has a sub. Hell Charizard X sets up all over it even without sub.
I don’t think you can catch Charmander in the wild.
Probably not, but he’s talking about Showdown.
Oh. But Pokebank isn’t available JUST yet.
They have 2 Metas at the moment.
One that’s similar to in-game.
And one with Pokebank Pokemon available to use.
oy
It also has to sacrifice Special Defense if it wants to attack anything
I struggled with it at first when I didn’t know what it does. Sending in a Ferrothorn for Seed immunity only to be hit by Flamethrower, but after that it’s literally the most predictable thing ever.
I run one and it literally only works when you play around it
Otherwise it’s special attack bait
I’m not sure if I should use Lunaala or not for the E4. The story really left me wanting to use it like in Black and White but I love my team and I don’t know who o apuld replace 🙁
Psst! Use Lunala for the Ghost team!
You mean for the Pokejungle League? I’m fairy type
For the E4.
Pokejungle league? I’m new and confused..
I say try it without lunala and see how it is
I wouldn’t. I hate using Legendaries.
Plus it feels stolen, it was in the care of Lillie originally.
yeah but she gave it to me because she wanted it to be happy in battle
Until it sits in a PC box for eternity after it gets used once. 😛
I swear all these Ultra Beasts and Tapu are driving me nuts
Did you catch any of em?
TBF
Nihilego-What is a physical attack?
Pheromosa-Attack it and it dies
Kartana-Special attack/Fire-Type = ded
Xurkitree-Attack (probably twice) and it dies
Buzzwole-Special attack/Flying-Type = ded
Guzzlord-Lol no its terrible
The thing with most of them is their crazy stat spreads. Pheromosa has paper thin defences, but insane speed and attacking stats. Even finding an opening to get an attack in against it is tough (outside of priority, but that’s where Tapu Lele comes in).
Nihlego has a very trollish speed stat at 103 as well.
Xurkitree with scarf is an amazing late game sweeper (akin to scarf Moxie Pokemon).
The UBs have a lot going for them….except Guzzlord.
I had to use Xuritree against itself to catch the 2nd one.
Sun and Moon legend/special Pokemon list left;
– Magearna
– Marshadow
Wow, they really went all out…
Well, it’s just one Pokemon less than Gen 6’s event Pokemon.
Magearna is discount Diancie, but marshadow is cool at least.
I’m pretty sure Magearna and Diancie are related.
Probably just how Diancie and carbink were “related”.
I.E. Not at all
They should make a movie on how Diancie and Magearna are actually related.
They are very obviously related though?
IIRC they weren’t related
They are though
Ones a spontaneous mutation of the other
Oh, that’s news to me. I stand corrected.
I mean tbh they don’t share that much in common sans broad themes
Feminine
Fairy Types
Princess
No more of a discount than the reptile grass starts or the fighter based Fire starters
Body shape as well.
Also you’re right about the fire starters, but the reptiles are vastly different.
I mean the body styles aren’t that similar?
Like yeah they’re both humanoid but that’s true of most mythicals
Diancie is a bunch of complex shapes whereas Magearna is a bunch of spheres with limbs
They both have the dress-like structure, same eyes, two structures protruding from their head, etc. It’s really not hard to notice the similarities.
But Diancie and Magearna have completely different protrusions, Diancie has ‘ponytails’ and Magearna has ears
It’s all just loose connections, but they look WAY too similar IMO for me to really think it’s that unique. Take for example, Celebi and Mew, they certainly have similar attributes, but not in the same way that these pokemon do.
Magearna is better than Diancie though. Steel/Fairy is a much better typing, they have similar bulk, and Magearna hits harder.
You do realize I’m not talking about stats/competitive niche, right?
When you say ‘discount’ I imagined you were basing it on numbers. My bad.
For the record I like Magearna more than Diancie competitively or otherwise :p
Lol sorry about that wording. xD
Yeh people usually say that about Pokemon that are outclassed by others.
Things like ‘Flygon is a poor man’s Garchomp’ e.t.c.
😉
Thanks for the heads up, I’ll be clearer next time.
Can we all just agree that Guzzlord is terrible
Like its adorable af but a Fairy could just touch it and it’d burn to ash
GUZZLORD IS THE BEST!!!
Not competitively
I don’t care about that.
Well that’s what the comment was about sooooo
If you train it enough it’ll be fine
Its just a worse version of hydreigon
Nah, Hydreigon is meant to be a sweeper with some slight tank aspects whereas Guzzlord is a failure at a more balanced Blissey
Guzzlord is actually pretty bulky even with the paper thin defences. That HP stat helps….but not enough unfortunately.
I never thought it was that cute
Doesn’t learn any poison or steel moves?
TOTEM MIMIKYU HAS A LUM BERRY? T_T
The more you know?
I’m only my 11th attempt at taking down that stupid rip-off pikachu. How the heck is it so powerful?
i used a weak but fast move first turn, broke its disguise, and used the strongest z move i could next turn, just gotta get it down fast so it stops calling for help
I feel like one or two shadow claws from Golisopod would work, but, I swear, Haunter’s hypnosis never misses.
Try giving your Pokemon a Chesto berry?
I’m counting on a z crystal for one of them, but this might work on Golisopod.
I mean… .What starter did you pick?
I can’t even get off a single damage. Not one.
Ok everyone seems to stealing my specially defensive Mudsdale build
Nah fam
It’s extremely obvious, Ground type (threw weaknesses that tend to be special) with a high Defense and defense boosting ability?
It’s very obvious investing in SpD is necessary
Urgh, if only it got Bulk Up. Max HP, Max SpD with Bulk Up would be nice. It actually has a Solid movepool, and it gets CC for those annoying Ferrothorn.
Question
Why is High HP that important because if Wailord has 200 HP It will still die to electricity with its Def.
High HP still lets you tank hits, but it has to be backed with Defenses
It’s easier to wear down lower HP stuff.
I got my ass handed to me 3 times by Blue. That was absolutely ridiculous. 14 Revival Herbs and countless Potions down the drain…but at least I won.
Totem Mimikyu is destroying my team. Ugh.
These games can be seriously challenging, no joke. I think this is a good thing, though. It’s tough while also being lighthearted, as usual.
It’s much tougher than XY, which is absolutely a good thing. Gen 6 IMO presented zero challenge, which wasn’t fun at all after a while, so I’m glad to see that GF hasn’t given up on challenge in Pokemon games after all.
Same, I got hundreds of hours out if it but still didn’t feel like I got that “Pokemon” experience. I can’t say that’s true this time around. When I have to go back and challenge something multiple times to succeed, even if I’m angry, I’m still getting more out of it.
Wow, how was it so ha-Ah you didnt have either Primarina or Lunala did you?
Nope, Incineroar hasn’t been too kind to me…
How painful is it to soft reset to catch Solgaleo/Lunala?
Extremely, since you would be doing it indefinitely.
What do you mean?
I was told that all legendaries are shiny locked.
I just mean for nature. Idc about shinies lol
Oh whoops, I guess soft reset and shiny hunting just go together naturally for me!
Lol but in regards for trying to get a good nature will that be painful? I know for Groudon/Kyogre it was terrible cause of that long ass cutscenes
I think you can save right in front of the legend and it’s basically handed to you right away, no battle really happens, so you should be good.
Oh cool. Thank you!
It was easier if you fainted them first time ’round.
If you abra farmed beforehand like me, once or two tries
I just caught a Dhelmise, now I’m off to find Comfey…wish me luck.
I BEAT MIMIKYU!!!
RNG favored me for once and it missed hypnosis twice.
I can’t beat it ugh
You’ll get lucky eventually.
I am dying right now. So, I caught a level 12 Butterfree in the wild, and it leveled up to 13. So, it had Gust, Confusion, Sleep Powder, and Mega Drain. I swept Hala’s entire team by making them sleep and then gusting them.
Anyone heard about this glitch about saving in Pokemon centers? Does the same thing as in Lumiose city.
Yeah. It sucks, hopefully they’ll patch soon.
Same for battle tree.
Okay just wondering, wasn’t sure if anyone has talked about it. Haven’t been on in a while.
That’s why I’ll save on Exeggutor Island….
I’ve been saving in the Pokemon Center every single time. Thank god I turned out alright before I found out about this.
Came to state they definitely stepped up their difficulty. Litten users probably are fine here, but holy crap the 6th trial is so hard. Im on my 3th loss, and running out of strats. Well played Pokemon Company
I just beat Mimikyu after 12 tries, but just got lucky with RNG.
Its so hard. Play rough and shadow claw like ohko, and haunter hypnosis never misses. Im about to rematch for 4th time
I agree, that Haunter is cheating I swear. Yeah, play rough out OHKO every Pokemon I had other than two, so I basically spammed revives and got lucky.
Lucky! Im doing no items during trainer or important battles, so i just have to take my loss.
I done squished it
I forgot disguise existed and wasted my Malicious Moonsault on it. then promptly murdered the shit out of it, then spent a few minutes looking for one, named it Mimikkun
Pokemon Sun and Moon sold a collective unit of 1.9 million copies in Japan during the first three days of release which is down a slight margin compared to X and Y’s total of 2 million. However, the sales figure for Sun and Moon do not include downloads. Thus, if we were to include downloads to the already massive 1.9 million copies, Sun and Moon sold MUCH more than X/Y. Wait for worldwide figures to come soon.
Wow just found Grimsley on route 15. I love how they’re giving more screen time and more development to so many old characters, such as burnet and Anabel.
At this rate I think I’ll find a shiny Magikarp/Wishiwashi before I find Corsola and Mareanie, but I’m honestly fine with that.
Shiny wishiwashi school form is dumb. It should be only the one fish that’s shiny, maybe the pupil.
SON OF A BITCH
The BP needed to buy all Power Items and a Destiny Knot will cost 160BP
Better start cracking skulls
Bad idea #19938383
Killing the haunter brings a stronger and faster gengar
Yo what’s the team looking like so far
Dead again. Oh you mean the pokemon?
I have dartrix crabrawler AVulpix Salazzle Charjabug
I would like no spoilers please
Pokemon Sun and Moon are already the 7th best selling 3DS games. Expect them to be #1 by the end of 2017 and the only titles from the 3DS to pass the 20 million mark.
20 Million Sellers/Shippers:
– 3DS, 0 games
– DS, 3 games
– GBA, 0 games
– GB and GB Color, 3 games
I’m honestly surprised at how successful the Wii was… 7 titles with over 20 million copies sold worldwide and one with over 80 million… 0_0
To be fair the one with 80 million (WIi Sports) was bundled with a lot of Wii’s,
SPOILER; At Malie Garden, after defeating the 5 trainers, this guy asks you to join Team Rocket.
You can use spoiler tags on here if you’d like. Just put and without the spaces.
but team rocket disbanded at some point before more than 2 years ago!
He then talked about that.
I’d say no… I don’t want to be hunted down by Silver.
Within in an hour I’ll have SuMo e-e
So hyped! 😀
Maybe this is common knowledge, but it wasn’t to me. You can jump ahead 12 hours to the dimension opposite of your game by taking Solgaleo/Lunala to the Altar of the Sunne/Moone. This is part of the Cosmog sidequest, but I didn’t realize that it could also be used to completely flip the time and get day/night exclusives!
my only problem is it doesn’t flip version exclusives.
Does Anabel remind anyone of Naoto from Persona 4?
EVERY FREAKING POKEMON ON GTS IS FOR UBS OR LEGENDS
Maybe use the search function my dude
Ugh I have one more class and then I get to go home and play pokemon for the rest of the break. I just wanna be home and play Pokemon 😛
Did anyone else try having a match at the Battle Royal right after that little Battle Royal tutorial battle was over with and got wrecked by a bunch of Lv50s?
…I sure didn’t.
A quick soft-reset cause fuuuuck that. They gave no warning. ;_;
https://pics.onsizzle.com/oh-shit-its-a-pokemon-fuck-em-up-guys-gang-4740559.png
Yeah I lost a bunch
We needs competitive pokes to stand a chance
Still looking for Corsola…please end my suffering. I also need to find 2 of them in order to get Mareanie. This is my life now.
I found a Corsola and it was a ♀, which I definitely wanted. My Arauquanid (which is slow) can Scald it down to red HP, but it kept using Recover. It called out for a Corsola ♂, which I got rid of, but than it summoned another one. Got rid of that one and then it summoned a Mareanie (which I definitely wanted). Have you read its Pokedex entry? It ATTACKED Corsola cause they are its dinner! …I helped and then I caught that little mean bitch.
Named her Nyx. :3
There has to be an easier way to get hidden ability pokemon than SOS battles. I have been looking for a Moody Snorunt and All the snorunt end up using struggle to kill themselves.
you can defeat the original and let the other Pokemon call for help… that way, they won’t run out of PP
hey, while filling the pokedex, I found a pokemon with pokerus!
sooo second shiny in alola was a pikipek and it has skill link. my original toucannon is a beast with it so I’m looking forward to SHINY TOUCANNON SAM
Alright chumps
I’m currently mass breeding a ton of good stuff
Dhelmise
Mimikyu
Passimion
Oranguru
bruxish
Komala
At least 15 each
no mareanie.? 😉
Not yet, I need a seed Pokemon to make it
And that will cost me a Kartana
I’ve got mareanie to trade tho
Then how about a Dhelmise
I’ve got. how bout passimian
Next on the list
sounds good. 4055,4882,8402
fc.?
Yass lads
In the queue at game with my pre order and money, just another 10 minutes 😀
And they’re playing the Pokémon intro theme from Season 1
It’s going to be soo good when you finally start the game
It still hasn’t made me fall in love tbh I just got to Akala
Where are you? I don’t think there are any stores open here lol
Britain, Scotland to be more precise :p
The French need to step up their game
ok I’m currently taking a break from my pokedex to spread my pokerus. not sure if its already common and spread out, so if anyone needs one, I can trade a random infected pokemon to them.
Right here my good….Bear?
I’m currently spreading, I will need your friend code later so I can trade you. give me some time to infect a bunch of my pokemon with it first.
We’re bound to have each other’s
nope. shortly after x and y, I got a new 3ds and didn’t return to pokejungle for nearly 3 years. problem is, I never wanted to ask for FCs, some people relate it to spamming and look down on it.
Ughhhhhh I hate stopping the game for FCs
I find it as bad luck
don’t worry about it for now, I will make sure I provide you with one, earthen. get back to me when you are ready, I will post my FC above.
The goal was for me to mass breed those rares for GTS
Then get the things I want to breed off GTS
And mass breed Yungoos or Magikarp for natures or WT fodder
I find it easy to build teams by mooching off WT leftovers
But that’s gonna stagnat for a while until Bank
4055-4882-8402 🙂
My FC: 0963-1734-7194
I’ve added you. I can give you a mareanie for the pokerus
ive already completed the melemele dex, I don’t really care what you give me. I just need to keep passing it for now, I will let you know when I’m available.
damn that is fast lol no wonder u found the pokerus then haha
about a 1 in 21,000 chance from what I just read. that’s about 5 times rarer than a full odds shiny.
ya i remember gettin it back in crystal the nurse joy said there were little bug like things on my Pokemon lol.
ok I’m ready! give this infected primeape a good home!
ok my ign is Danny
maybe I don’t know how to do this? my in game name is Edea
ok so go to the festival plaza. tap the wifi button to connect to the internet and I can send a request
crap its gunna have to be another pokemon, my primape has the lucky egg whoops. that’s ok, take rhibombee
haha that’s fine. thank you very much. I’ll spread and trade around
me please
Just beat Olivia. How is it possible that the Totem Pokemon are harder to beat than a Kahuna? Lol
URGENT Do not accidentally hit no for accepting Eggs they do not give the fail safe “Are you sure” option
I hate the fail safe anyway.
Same
It doesn’t matter when your trying to get eggs
YES! I caught a Marianne!
sweet. congrats they’re awesome. make sure it has merciless otherwise breed for it
Meh it has mild, but I’ll breed it with my 20+ Ditto waiting in Pokemon Bank XD HRAY for Friend Safari!
lol who cares if ur using it for the story like I am. I focus on ivs and whatnot after the postgame. makes your Pokemon feel like ur partner instead of bred killers
I’m not going to change it after all actually, IDC aboutt heir stats, I just want them!
that’s the spirit. worry bout all that your second playthru
Second?
third.?
I’m serious, I wouldn’t buy another game just for 3-4 other Pokemon.
I mean restart ur game
LOL this poor Trumbeak, it thought it would get help,but no help showed. I love it when that happens it’s so funny and sad!
It has no friends lol
Well looks like my Pokerus isn’t needed anymore, good. 🙂
They’re the same thing but different Pokemon and UBs.
Ditto is now in GO.
Star, you’re wish cane true, they’re disguised as Pidgey, Rattata and stuff
They are?! Meh IDC, they’re not as cool as the actual game ones.
Wait, so how will I know which one is the ditto? I just catch them and they just get registered in the dex as ditto?
You catch the Pokémon and then after the XP/Candies screen, they show a transformation into Ditto.
That’s so stupid!
Ah neat, that’s so clever!
That’s so cool!
The story is the same, I’d pick the one with the legendaries/UB/clothing colors you like and grind that…
they have different clothing colors in each…? Lmao
Yeah: You won’t find the following colors in the opposite version in stores. Gotta grind the festival plaza… :p
Sun: Red/Orange/Yellow/Pink
Moon: Blue/Navy Blue/Green/Purple
see yet another reason to like moon better

hot thumb
That reminds me that I forgot to get the poster from Gamestop at the midnight release. I was kinda scared because the lady kept telling me I preordered from a different Gamestop (which I did NOT), so it just slipped my mind.
wait you’re a boy
Guess who finally got a Corsola? 😀
NOT ME!?!?!?!
Why catch a Corsola?
Trying to complete my Pokedex.
Isn’t it better (and smarter) to first use it to catch Mareanie first? Also, Mareanie eats Corsola.
…Today I learned that I am smarter.
Yesterday I learned that Mareanie don’t come out to help Corsola…
Yes they do, Mareanie was the first Pokemon to come out to help Corsola, they have a 1% chance of coming out.
Oh, you misunderstand me. I wasn’t saying that they don’t pop out. What I meant was that they don’t help Corsola at all. Corsola’s cries for help can draw out nearby Corsola to help defend it. However, when Mareanie hears Corsola’s cries, it’s as good as a dinner bell. Mareanie attack Corsola. They want to eat them.
Oh that’s what you mean, and yes I knew that. It sort of is cool to see that happen!
Quite easy to find them in bubbling fishing spots
Well I didn’t realize that you could easily move in and out of Route 1 and Melemele Sea to create infinite bubbling spots. That’s a portion of my life I will never get back.
Soft resetting works well too haha
Soft-resetting so should earn you an achievement or something. I do it all the time if things don’t go how I’d like it.
That’s where I found a Corsola who SOS’d a hungry Mareanie.
Still didn’t get that Corsola, though… :
Listen up Chumps and Chumpettes
Want to Check IVs like a Boss?
WELL NOW YOU CAN
After you hatch 20 Eggs talk to the Ace Trainer at the Battle Tree
He’ll be so impressed by you forcing Animals to fornicate he shall upgrade your PC to allow you to see what IVs they possess
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/138cf034e7d0585110d9d2aaa6836085f976fdad002ce3421ef9580c6cef2871.jpg
This Xurkitree has 151 to 186 IVs and those Labeled Best mean they are a solid 31 which are perfection
This have 3 IVs in HP, Atk and Def
Remember
Outstanding and Best are the golden words you want to see on your Eggs
are you going to soft reset for better IVs?
I have a Timid Xurkitree so I’m fine
I don’t like to use Legends
After fighting Olivia… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a4b30002b069deed373ac1aa5cf44163544d18f276e12d37ce6c80b10999e6fa.jpg
That’s me after my fight with Hau and his Alolan Raichu.. I have no idea why that thing hit as hard as it did
your using lycanrock mid day when your avi is lycanroc night
https://media.giphy.com/media/l0MYGzh7pUL2SOyty/giphy.gif (rf)
Wow that’s rough. My Mareanie swept the first two Pokemon and then injured her last before falling. Then I used my Mudbray to finish her off. She didn’t seem that tough to me. My Mareanie was lvl 26 and my Mudbray was too I think.
And here I am just completing Kiawe’s trial with a party of levels 28 through 31. (._.)’
I tend to unknowingly over-level in Pokémon games. I guess it’s cause of my pacing.
My Exp. Share is off, that’s the reason I’m so underleveled
Ohhhhh..! That explains it. (-_-)’
Emergency! This is during the festival after the defeat of the elite four. Is it possible to soft reset Tapu Koko’s nature after capturing it now, if so, what nature should it have I need an answer soon as I am encountering it now.
If it’s your first time encountering it, KO it and catch it later and you will have an easier time to SR it. Also go Modest/Timid.
Thanks. I ended up catching it anyway. Luckily I have two games. It ended up being Adamant-which is lucky in its own way-so I guess I can use that Tapu Koko as a physical attacker/pivot considering it already has a high physical attack.
-Wild Charge
-Brave Bird
-U-turn
-Filler Move
Hm, looks good!
Someday that filler might become Knock Off with Move Tutor.
Thanks.
I am proud to say that my team can finally tank up hits and one shot things.. and run away most of the time from wild encounters. AFTER 5 TRIALS
Pokemon showdown is full of aegislash and UB it’s awful lol. They also banned Zygarde complete form to ubers.
I know it’s disgusting
That’s a deserved ban though.
Don’t mind it being upside down
I’m dying

Welcome to the party friend! You’re going to love this game! I know I am lol
Yaaaaas
I thought it didn’t come out till tomorrow in europe
https://media.giphy.com/media/l0MYGzh7pUL2SOyty/giphy.gif
It’s 1pm/2pm (depends where you are) in Europe and I got it at midnight :p
Enjoy your stay, you will love it.
Why are some of these new pokemon so hard to find our have weird capture mechanics. Most of them have a 10% encounter rate. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Wl-qmEZHrBc/UAV71na0KQI/AAAAAAAAB7Q/x_lUuMxJSto/s1600/aint-nobody-got-time-for-that.gif (rf)
Or are only available via SOS or whatever…..very weird lol
Normally I would say trollish things like “deal with it”, but I guess we’re at the whims of
Arceusthe Game Freak gods.Just breed your starter and trade it on the GTS for a Mareanie. :p
Well hello there! I just went to the Sun and Moon website on a whim and found that they updated with art and what not for more Pokemon. Pokemon being Salazzle, Golisopod, the Dewpider line and a few more. Even tho the games are out it’s cool to see their art and stuff. lol
There is also Dream World Art, of at least Salazzle that I’ve seen on Bulbapedia.
Yeah I think the dream world art has been out since Friday or so. It’s what people have been using for art as the official normal art is still not available yet for many.
All here http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Pok%C3%A9mon_Dream_World_artwork
Group Question of the Day! Name 3 of the hardest/difficult Pokemon (Ultrabeasts excluded) to catch or/and find!
For me, this is my list;
1. Mareanie
2. Bruxish
3. Mimikyu
1. Mareanie
2. Castform
3. Bruxish
How do you get Castform?
You fight Alolan Vulpix/Sandshrew then chain until they call a Castform ally.
Wow that’s hard, and you can’t get Castform in Moon?
1: Feebas
2: Pichu
3: Stufful
My son <3

Fabulous since hatching. Before you realize he’ll be singing to britney songs in the shower
Kelly > Britney
Ok Toxapex is on my hate list
And I love the thing. 😉
So it’s good? I have a Mareanie that I’m using. It’s not bad for me so far tho it has Limber rather than Merciless. Either way I’ve heard Toxapex is sort of a wall in certain situations. Looking forward to finally evolving it lol
It’s the new Ferrothorn
Awesome lol
T_T
Sorry for you sadness lol
I’m extremely pissed off
Everyone on showdown has nothing but Tapus and UB and Aegislash and my team only works for non legends
Then adapt your teams
The Tapu and UB only have 570 BST so they’re likely going to be staying in OU sans Pheromosa and Kartana
I hate having to change my team just because everyone cheats by having so many legends
It’s not cheating, it’s within the rules.
Please, if you’re using 6 legends your cheating
I’m sick of seeing the same 10 things every match, you must admit it’s annoying
Well it’s still within the rules.
But I’ll admit it: I would love a no legends/UB OU. But it’ll never happen. When in
RomeShowdown we have to go by their rules…But I haaaaaaate that, it’s always letting those jackasses have THEIR way
Hahaha, just use legends/UB. Free yourself. There are legends/UB that are brutes and right up your alley. 🙂
Or you can try setting up your own Showdown server that has a no legends meta and see if people want to play it.
No I don’t want to be a fucking hippocrit and use legends to win
And like anybody will go on a server that restricts Legends
To me it’s not gonna be hypocrisy, it’s a change of heart/mind. 🙂
Bullshit it is hypocrisy
Blame GF for introducing basically 11 OU-level legends (12 if you count Silvally).
I do, and I blame Smogon for not having a non legends ladder
But like this and in every situation I’m on the losing side always
Good
I’m guessing you don’t need Pokerus anymore right?
Sounds like those glitches from earlier were due to people hacking their games. The tool they used to edit their games f’d them up.Still probably best to stay on the cautious side, but for normal people it sounds like it’s a nonissue
I’m wondering if when transfer is available if Male Kanto Forms can pass their Pokéball to their Female Alolan counterparts. Would allow for Dream and some Safari Ball versions and allow for more Apricorn ones if they can’t be bought at all. Also DBHA Kanto Starters, Gothita and Pikachu will now be Legal.
January
Yeah, do we know the exact day? I think I read the 17th, is that right?
My brain tells me the 5th
Even better 🙂 I’ll go check somewhere. I hope it isn’t delayed like last time.
If you breed with female Kanto mon without everstone, they will hatch into Alola form.
Also without everstone: special ball Male Kanto mon + Ditto = Alola form with special ball.
How do you know this?
I read the dataminers’ research on Kanto forms. 🙂
I don’t have a link right now but it’s out there.
Basically Kanto mon + Kanto mon, x + female Kanto mon, Kanto mon + Ditto = Alola mon unless everstone is equipped.
So my Popplio is Jolly ;-;
Yay for challenge?
SR now 🙂
I can provide a modest or egg of a modest one if you want.
Hey kinda decided to hatch some eggs from some island scan pokemon. Anyone want a Honedge?
If you want, I can provide Marills later. I just need to breed it.
No worries. I’m all about giving people pokemon, I don’t care what I get in return. I”m wondertrading off the bulk of my stock right now, but I figured I’ve save a few for you folks if you wanted them.
Well it’s only fair to trade scan Pokemon for scan Pokemon anyway…
Apparently, saving inside Pokemon Centers and reopening your game can cause your game to be glitched. Just a heads up.
Sounds like that was just from people using a tool to edit their games. Caution is still good, but It sounds like unless you tamper with the game using that tool you should be good. But again caution is always good.
Chill, cause I ALWAYS save at Poké Centers unless I’m out adventuring and need to save. I love loading up the game and seeing my avatar in a center ready to continue his journey. Hoping this is really just a false alarm.
Yeah as far as I know it’s only affecting people who have edited stuff using a program, but again best to stay cautious
…Which program might that be? You know… for the sake of research.
From what I saw it was called PKHeX save editor
Am I the only one that dins Salazzle off putting? Like I like the over all design in a way, but there’s something overly creepy about the way it’s designed that makes me….want to take a step away from it……Like for one it’s incredibly “sexy”….idk if that’s the word I'[d want to use on an animal, but it’s the only one I can think of right now…..anyway……It also has hands that are freaky too. Not only are the fingers super long and slender, but she also has 5 of them. All of that coupled with the Salandit description of them having pheromones that attract both Pokemon and humans alike is well…..like I said off putting lo
No
I think that’s GF intention to make it that way… 🙁
Well then they did their jobs right lol
The way it had its mouth wide open during Kiawe’s trial was so creepy
Oh man idk if I’ve ever been more terrified in my life. I really wasn’t expecting that at all. I nearly jumped when I saw it hahaha
Either sack off to it or don’t I honestly don’t care
Nothing matters anymore
i think they did it on purpose, its design is intentionally “alluring”, the way it wafts is pheromones while also making a beckoning gesture. I like it, I think its super cool, I also like how they went a hot pink with the flames instead of red. I really want a shiny one.
Alright fucking done with Showdown
7 losses ALL BECAUSE OF UBS
I’m sure it will be prohibited soon enough, they just need to wait until all the research and testing comes to a lull. from what I understand, pheramosa is cancer on the game at the moment.
NO FUCKING SHIT I LOST BECAUSE OF IT THIS VERY SECOND
Petting Salandit is THE cutest thing ever <3 <3
no, stufful/bewear. also, all overworld stufuls get the most adorable award. Olivia’s room is heaven.
Okay but the look it gives you when you rub its tummy tho
yepp I love my salandit! well, shes a fully grown salazzle now haha
Quick question. What is the booth that offers a set to reset EVs called in Festival Plaza? Also is there any other way to reset EVs in the game?
I don’t know about any complete resets yet, but…
Friendship Table can provide food that increase friendship and reduce EV’s of specific types. And the EV reducing berries are still there.
Thanks.
It’s the cafe for me, and if your mon has max friendship, consider yourself screwed and enjoy the hours of berry farming that await you.
Thanks as well.
Yw…. No idea why they removed super training… we can’t have anything nice
The most annoying Pokemon to catch so far is Oranguru, because it KEEPS SUMMONING TRUMBEAKS!!! GO AWAY!!! I’M TRYING TO CATCH THE ORANGUTAN!!!
spoiler alert, I caught it. FINALLY. >:v
Hey, haven’t seen you around in a while. I hope you’ve been enjoying the game!
It just wants some musical accompaniment for a jazz number about emulating humans, give it a break :p
Also, no spoilers past the second kahuna. I just made it to the third island and saved. that’s it.
SPOILER ALERT! Kukui is replaced by a clone who breaks up with Burnet, and we have to find the real one!
Ok, not really.
How do you already know the plot of Pokemon Star!!
My drampa is a disgruntled former Nintendo employee who leaked the plot to me!
Ok
Tapu Bulu, Ash-Greninja, any UB is fucking cancer
So are kingler and crabominable :p
I dislike you with great intensity
Well it’s not hate, I’ll take that as a good sign!
Screw that, hate for everything
ok Xurkitree is not cancer. I understand pheromosa, but the others aren’t that bad.
Just because your team can’t deal with them == cancer
Dude Ass-Greninja has boosted priority Water Shuriken
UB beauty is too fast and spams U-Turn
Tapu Bullcrap can get boosted horn leech, grassy heals it And leftovers
Ash-Greninja has to beat a mon first, before that you’re facing a Greninja with no ability
Pheromosa hopefully will be out to Ubers, thing should rot there
Bulu is extremely weak to Flying, Steel and Poison from any side, along with Fire and Ice
And its slow af
It still has high Special Attack and Water Shuriken which still has priority and 2-5 shots how can anything that’s not Grass stop that
A water type?
The only Water types is Golispod and Araqunid and they still get pushed around by Dark Pulse
My only chance is with First Impression
Araquanid is god, accept it
Not with its shitty defense
Still
Ummm, Nihilego? Guzzlord?
Haven’t seen any yet
Exactly, so it’s not any UB
They’re balanced
Fine Beauty, Absorbtion and Blaster
Blaster isn’t terrible though
I can agree with Beauty and Absorbtion, the latter I’ve died far too many times to
Blaster is easy to counter with special attackers
Yeah, Blaster is nice for the Metagame IMO
You’d think
I swallowed my salty pride and put a Salazzle on and it barely helps
The power of 4chan compels you
Like I give a SHIT the stupid thing has Skarmory typing which is the ultimate defense build allowing it to invest both ways
On that matter, Gliscor shouldn’t even be a ground type ;3
It has the whole desert scorpion theme
Gligar came first
True
It can still stall with Leech Seed WHY THE HELL DID THEY GIVE IT THAT
Lore reasons
Kartana
What’s a fire type again? 😉
If it doesn’t resist it any special attack kills it
Pretty much
Thank god for its lack of coverage
Yep! With slash, slash dance, slash with leaves, and even edgier slash as its only viable moveset
Why is Pichu so hard to find ;-;
hatred. that’s why. I have one, took me forever to find it.
Just found one! 😀
now you must decide: Pichu, or Happiny?
Pichu all the way XD
thank god the easier to find bonsly also SOS into happiny
Static is your friend
what other pokemon carry static that are easy to find in SuMo?
now that I think about it.. Elekid?
That isn’t for a while though
I’m not even fighting hau for the first time
Oh damn, welp I guess you’re stuck in Hau’Oli for a while.. Curse these 5% encounter rates
It’s fine, I caught one now! 😀
You would need a pichu…to find a pichu
WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I DID HAHAHA
Looking for a better one?
Yep, the first one had a booty nature
lol the veteran couple near the battle tree
“We are so strong due to a lot of Marital Disputes! Haha…”
Um….I can’t find Mallow in her house. How am I supposed to learn the left-handed battling style if she’s not there?!
She is on the second floor in her room after the 2nd Grand Trial. In moon only.
In Sun you will have to fight Kiawe.
I already found her, and we battled in Lush Jungle, yet that old man says i need to hang out with a lefty. Whaaaat
Well I am a righty…so I can’t help you with that.
That stinks, this game is devilish to lefties.
Well only 10% of the population are lefties, so I guess majority rules.
Not fair!
No clue, I got it randomly
speaking of styles, how do you change them? it says I have elegant style, but I notice nothing. also, lefty refers to Ilima, who is in his house.
Oh! Where is Illima’s house?
Some mansion in the first city. I’ll go find it now.
Elegant Style is such trash, BTW…
how do you “turn them on”? I have them but there isn’t any difference…
You have to go to that old man and ask him to change your style I think.
Never mind, I found out who it was.
You talk to the old man to change your style. If you haven’t unlocked a style yet, he gives clues on what kind of trainer you need to fight.
ok I got it. huh, elegant isn’t really, well, elegant, is it?
Well like they always say, “we get exactly what we pay for”…
It’s the freebie style, so nothing…
Finally a god damn win
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-481517898
Lol this poor Grimer, he tried to summon an ally and nobody came.
He’s a loser now and always will be
I wonder how he felt when nobody came to answer his plea.
http://heartsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Forever-alone-400×400.png
I found Melania Trump in Pokemon Moon. She looked really….Trumpy.
I found Crabrawler, but I decided to catch a male one before properly considering stuff. I now have a Male Crabrawler named Frappucinno, but I now want a Female that I can name Piña Colada to fit the coconut/icy mood.
Took me until Ula’Ula to find a Crabrawler.. but now that I’ve found one, all berry piles have ’em -_-
Colada is actually not too bad of a name for a female Crabrawler.
Thanks 😉
Why does Tsareena tank these hits she too thicccc
Thick thighs save lives
