  1. I need some advice, guys. So I beat the league and now I don’t know what I should do next. I think I should hold off on the battle tree cause my pokemon are only 57. Should I do the UB quest? Any other suggestions? Fill in my living dex with alolans some more?

  2. Slhtubit92 is a remixer and on Twitter yesterday I think he had some great ideas for Sun and Moon follow ups xD

    Pokémon S/M sequels: Pokémon Red Sun & Blue Moon
    – New Areas, more Pokémon
    – New evil team: Team Eclipse
    – Trials followed by Gym battles
    – Team Reskull + Aether work together to preserve Alolan peace
    – “That person” is back from Kanto
    – New trials and Kahunas
    – New UB’s, including Omni Beast after capturing all new UB’s
    – The return of even more old characters (Lance, Silver, etc)
    – And finally, the Battle Frontier from Emerald

    I really like the trials followed by Gym Battles. Complete the trial and defeat the Totem Pokémon to be given permission to challenge the Gym. I’d add Kanto post-game region just based on those names alone as well. But a 2 region game? Who said what?

  3. OMG, this episode was soooo good!

    And I was always sceptical about Black and White Kyurem, they were so freak looking to me. Now after all these years I understand that they are intended to look like that. They’re fusions, chimeras, freak creatures. I should have realised this way before since I am a fan of Full Metal Achemist.

    Oh god, I love Unova so much.

    • And JESUS, the story is taking place in BW2 time but that was the protagonist from BW, not BW2. In BW2 everyone was asking about what happened to our former hero if you used memory link. Now here is him, he is there to save N! It feels so moving.

        • I think you have it backwards. I did not approve at first becasue there were no cross-gen evolutions and no Safari Zone. But then I realized that you could catch Pokemon from previous generations on your computer, even before you recieve the National Dex. This allowed me to accept that a Pokedex completely consisting of new Pokemon was indeed a fresh start. That was the best part about Generation 5. Sun and Moon had a similar trait, but no challenge at all. Where is the fun of gym battles?

          Reply
          • The fun of gym battles is called Trials and Kahunas my friend. Plus Gen 5 was the most controversial era of Pokemon, it was divided 50/50 on the gen.

          • Story, Pokemon, Pokemon design, graphics, literally everything. I’m sorry but Gen 5 wasted an entire part of the 2000s. It was the horrendous gap between Gen 4 and 6.

          • That’s impossible! HAU are you being such a Lusamine! I’m Gladion I’m not soft as a Palossand, or I would Pyukumuku all over you!

    • I always prefered the BW and XY shows than the SM crap. Doesn’t matter if there are ony 5 episodes so far. The BW and XY anime’s character design are more true to the design of those in the game. SM, not so much. CN made Pokemon completely original. I think it’s wrong of them to even put the show on Disney XD. In fact, if Steven Universe were to be cancelled, Pac-Man should take the place as well.

  6. I just want HM’s back as well. I already prepared some tough Pokemon in my Pokemon Y game. My Reuniclus knows the moves Psychic, Dizzy Punch, Power-Up Punch, and Recover.

  7. Nanu gets better and better the more I learn about him.

    He straight up ‘forgets’ to go to a Kahuna meeting. Typical Nanu.
    And he used to be pretty high up with the International Police.

    Cool.

  8. For anyone struggling to find hold items on wild Pokémon, here’s what you should do: Catch a Butterfree with Compound Eyes, faint it and put it at the front of your party. You’ll find a significant increase in the chance of the wild ‘mon holding an item.

  9. Progress Update: Working on the Pokedex. I have to say that the split and percentage analysis has made this the most fun I have ever had completing the Pokedex!

    Melemele: 70%
    Akala: 63%
    Ula’Ula: 51%
    Poni: 55%
    Alola: 55%

  10. Sun Moon introduced a lot of changes, but for you what change was the Best and what change was the worst?

    For me, the best was The replacement of gyms.

    And worst was The change of PSS to festival plaza

  11. X and Y were better. The dresses were so cute and I’m so salty there weren’t any in SuMo. Still my character looks really nice so thats fine. They better keep it in DPPt remakes though

    Reply
  12. I feel like we won’t be getting D/P remakes but a kind of sequel similar to how they nintendo did ALBW with zelda. A story involving arceus and Silvally facing off and such, there was a lot in the games that alluded to going back to Sinnoh but also a lot that seemed to say the story may be different.

    I also may be way off base but oh well

  13. Very dumb theory I came up with today: Kalos is based on the four seasons. We start off in spring (this is the loosest connection) because everything seems moderate. Not chilly, but not summery weather either, as NPCs seem to be wearing clothing of varying degrees. Next, we go to coastal kalos. Summer (as next in a year). There are beachs and swimmers, both very summery elements, and Coumarine is said to be (I might very well be wrong on this) a place where people vacation in kalos. Next, we go to northern kalos. This is obvious, autumn. There are piles of leaves everywhere, giant mystical trees, and even halloween themed pokemon (pumpkaboo). Lastly we have east kalos: winter. We have snowbelle, a very cold snowy town, which has a snowy cave near. Side point: inbetween the autumn and winter sections we have dendemille town, a town that doesn’t shown distinct season qualities, except it represents a transition between the two, it’s not too cold but it’s getting chilly, as you can clearly see your breath.
    The best part of this theory is the coherence of the seasons, as the order you go through kalos’ seasoned areas is the same order of the seasons in the year.

    After typing all this, I’ve come to realize that it isn’t a dumb theory at all. In fact, I’m quite proud of this loose theory. Tell me what you think! 😀

  14. I highly recommend the use of WT if you want ideas for competitive pokemon as you are bound to get a good pokemon eventually (or a good base to breed off) I just got Love ball Mimikyu, Beast Ball Gible 5IV, 5IV Vulpix. Try it (especially, but not particularly, on wednesday)

  17. I like how gen 7 fulfilled lots of my wishes:
    Increased Difficulty
    Longer game
    More Unique Starter types (I specifically asked for water fairy)
    More unique elite 4 types. Rock and Flying are normally gym types
    Buff to hail
    Amazing Music

  18. Without Spoilers how important is it to beat Poison and Electric types in Sun/Moon? Like can I get away with not carrying a Ground type move? The last slot for my Sun team plan is irritating me because I still can’t decidueye on it.

  20. I don’t mean to mini-mod, but can we please reduce amount of battle reactions during the battle. It makes it slightly annoying when someone not in the battle sees it all

  21. I just got to Poni Island and I don’t want to play the game anymore. I’m bored. I was expecting so much more of Alola. SuMo has great characters (Lillie, Hau, Gladion) and that’s it. Team Skull are forgettable. The story is silly and uninspired. The region… Hoenn is a better tropical and diverse region! I know my opinion is very different, but that’s how I feel about the game right now. 🙁

    Reply
    • Im glad someone else said this. It’s always how I felt. Everyone praises the story, but honestly I think the great characters blind the otherwise boring, and weird story.

      Reply
      • By story, I mean Team Skull. It’s all just so weird. What I’ve been told, team skull steals pokemon and Aether foundation saves them to cover up Lusamine’s plan and make her seem like the good guy. Which is kinda cool, but I totally missed it while playing

        Reply
        • I can agree with this.

          I didn’t understand it until after I thought about it for a while, and even then, if the “saving pokemon” was all an elaborate ruse, then what does the aether foundation do now?

          Reply
          • Moon golf says. They were just listening to Lusamine, and are actually good, but Lusamine was just the bad one

          • It still doesn’t add up though. If the main goal was to save pokemon from team skull, then what do they do now that team skull has disbanded? Or do you they just save pokemon in general?

          • It’s just in general, it’s established the moment you meet them

            For example, saving Corsola from over hunting by Toxapex

          • Ah, I forgot about that.
            The story is much deeper than any other pokemon game, I will say that. The climax was the most dissapointing part for me, but the raid of the AF was super exciting.

          • I loved the Climax do kinda wish that after killing all of the pokemon you battled Ultra Lusamine though. Poison/Fairy? Maybe just Poison/Rock since it is Nihiligo? Or no type at all?

        • Actually, the majority of Aether has good intentions and are doing what they think what’s right, unaware of what Lusamine, the dark side of the foundation, and Skull are doing.

          Reply
      • Yes! The great characters compensates the poor story. I still think BW has a better plot. I know that at the end was the cliché bad guy wants to rule the world, but it really was about N, about using Pokémon as tools, about divergent ideas and points of view. SuMo is about a crazy woman and her strange kids…?

        Reply
        • I really saw the story more of a character story than a “thing A happens then thing B happens” It is more about Lillie and Gladion and Lusamine and the other minor characters like Kukui and thats what I loved about it

          Reply
    • I couldn’t disagree more there, but my advice, as typical as it may be, is to keep playing and you’ll enjoy it more (at least the story).

  28. Fun fact… even though the anime implied it, something in this game seems to imply that Anabel was actually a kid/teen in emerald

    Reply
  29. Favorite Trial Captain: Probably Acerola. She was fairly well developed and also a very upbeat, charismatic girl. I enjoyed her dialogue and found many things odd about her, particularly her royal beginnings and close friendship with Nanu (because she is his niece). I was excited to see her again later in the game for a particular reason, and hope to see more of her in the future. She seems like one of the younger Trial Captains, so it’s almost a given we’ll be seeing her.

    Favorite Kahuna: Hapu by far. Don’t get me wrong, I love all of the Kahunas, but Hapu had wonderful development, since we knew about her since Akala Island. She was a huge helper, had great dialogue, and a particular cutscene right before the Altar that gave me chills. Of course, no one really embodied the Kahuna spirit like Hala, but I really enjoyed Hapu’s backstory and journey to get to where she is.

    • Guzma and Lusamine are my favorite villains of the series to date. Although we really can’t call either true “villains,” there’s some good in the both of them.

      • Here it is

        1. Minor but this is important, the original Faller was a her, so that clears up some other options
        2. She’s well aware of the other dimensions, very few characters even are. It seems very strange, even if she is a Draconid
        3. Listen to her theme.. compared to every other theme, even Wally, it sounds very strange in ORAS. Like it clearly doesn’t belong. It seems Kalosian…. but not quite
        4. She’s first seen disguised as a Aqua/Magma member. She’s playing the disguise role.. Only three other characters to my knowledge even do this. Petrel, the PC of Heartgold/Soulsilver… And Looker, a member of the international Police
        5. She tends to do things in a very unorthodox manner, and the International police tend to do this as well. The faller example speaks for itself.
        6. The typical person doesn’t just “know” that much about the mossdeep space station. Her relation to Devon is quite strange
        And finally
        7. Isn’t it funny that the only other faller besides yourself, Guzma, Lusamine, and Lillie is from Hoenn? It seems funny that Zinnia’s goals are all in Hoenn

        Reply
  30. Just realized the irony of Lillie, PC, and Cosmog…. Omg… this is literally an english enthusiasts wet dream! And I feel REALLY at home with this!

  32. NitPick – Why do Pokemon say their names in the overworld in sun and moon? They are animals it makes no sense. I get they did it in the anime so that people would remember their names but in the games there is no reason to other than to tick me of 😛

    Reply
    • That’s nothing new, it’s been there since the early games iirc. My headcanon is that their cries can vaguely sound like their names in some cases. I know it barely works, but it’s either that or just saying they rationalise all their calls as their names somehow. I REFUSE to accept they’re saying their names, that’s one of the most egregiously moronic thing about the anime, it makes no bloody sense and it’s one of the reasons pokémon is perceived as dumb and childish.

  33. Omg… I just figured out why SuMo anime is good… they finally embraced the truth
    The pokemon anime is a meme… so they embraced it… YES

    • There’s nothing cringey about sharing an opinion.

      Also I expected Magic Guard as it’s hidden ability. Granted back then I didn’t believe the rumoured final evos were real so I expected to like Popplios final evolutions as opposed to what we got.

      Reply
      • It’s just because of how Adamant everyone was, saying that it absolutely couldn’t be Water/Fairy and that the art couldn’t of been real. People who were like ‘I think it’s something else’ or ‘I don’t think these are real’ aren’t cringey at all.

        There’s nothing wrong with admitting something from the past is cringey and sharing a good laugh or memories over it, even if you were one of the people who others think was cringey

        Also Magic Guard > Liquid Shit

        Reply
        • Fair enough. That’s why I’m never adamant with an opinion. Anything can happen.

          And the hidden abilities were really lacklustre this gen. I guess after the broken shit they made last gen, they had to tone it down.

          Reply
          • Liquid Voice should’ve been ‘Hydrate’ or something and turned Normal moves into Water moves

            Rather than giving it a second Sparkling Aria which it can’t activate its Z-Move off of (Hydro Vortex or Oceanic Operetta)

    • Remember when people thought Rowlet could’ve been Grass/Ground? I liked the idea… but people were so adamant that a starter wouldn’t change it’s secondary typing, and that it would have to stay Grass/Flying all the way to the end.
      What we got in the end was so much better than Grass/Ground or Grass/Flying, imo.

    Reply
          • Nope, you assume it’s bad because of a speed drop
            But that insane attack power and solid defensive typing and since I always use it in Sandstorm I take full advantage of Sand Force Earthquake plus stab

            180 base damage per earthquake

          • Speed drop matters because it gets outsped by Slush Rush users and Alolan Ninetales and can’t hold an item to patch that speed up

            Hail got buffed with another setter and Aurora Veil so your sandstorm gimmicks will be less effective

            Plus it gets shat on by Tapu Lele

          • Please I’m a master of getting the weather to work to me,
            And don’t forget I have ice counters which can eat a Blizzard or two
            I just Mamoswine to break the fox and with it out of the equation Slush Rush becomes sand rush and I’ll have my way
            Then I shatter them to pieces

          • 1) There’s multiple Hail setters
            2) They’ll have counters to you
            3) Abomasnow shits on Hippowdon
            4) The synergy with Grassy Terrain probably means that they’re laughing at your Ground-Type attacks

          • Multiple hail setters you are SUCH A TRYHARD you obviously never actually fight because you just throw out blunt counters
            It’s Abomasnow the Fox and the Dino that’s three and at most only one per team
            Abomasnow is insanely slow and fragil I’ve 1shotted it with Iron Head without sand, also my Nidoking has a sexy flamethrower boosted by Sheer Force
            And where are you getting Grassy Terrain from?

          • Not yet, I thought we could get one through island scan but
            Hell no am I going through another breeding session for Sheer force NidoranM

          • I agree. NidoranF always appear when nobody wants them. I was IV breeding for nidoranM I think and I found like 3 shiny NidoF (and a nidoran M) all in dream balls, and all I wanted was a 6iv 🙁

          • Because Grassy Terrain synergises with Hail becuase it cancels out the damage

            And your Mamoswine gets outsped an killed by a bunch of shit, every Pokémon does. They either kill you on the switch or don’t send it in because they’re not stupid

            Also, tryhard? Pot kettle black

          • But WHERE ARE YOU GETTING FROM IT YOU DUMBASS
            Abomasnow can’t learn it

            And Mamoswine is faster then it looks and a pretty solid HP and Thick Fat and Ice Shard helps a lot,

          • And when was that ever stated Hmmmmmm just Moon trying to act all tough even though he never actually fights competitively

            Doesn’t matter, it’s still part Fairy and all it takes is a good clean Iron Head
            Or a Garchomp poison jab

            252 Atk Garchomp Poison Jab vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Tapu Bulu: 164-196 (92.6 – 110.7%) — 56.3% chance to OHKO
            And that’s just regular Garchomp

          • Honestly Earthen I don’t care

            If Terrain is mentioned, you should presume it’s a Tapu because that’s their whole job

            They’ll have counters to Garchomp like you have counters to Bulu

            I do fight competitively you presumptive cantaloupe

            Honestly Earthen, bug off. I literally don’t care anymore. It’s a chat about a kids game and you’re constantly feeling the need to ‘win’ even a dumb argument like this because of you fragile ego and it’s legit tiring to be the person arguing with you becuase you don’t know when to give up and either just agree to disagree or just accept defeat, rather skulking off with out a word when told off or saying stuff like ‘when was that stated?’ when it was so obviously implied a blind person could read it and understand it’s meant to be.

    • No Mega Gardevoir? Nooooo…oh well, Tapu Lele is better now anyway.

      But Mega Gardevoir’s Hyper Voice is unmatched.

      Also which other fairy megas were there? Mega Audino?

      Reply
      • My favourite Mega Altaria, as well as mega Mawile, diancie there were 5 in total.

        but… tapu lele better? it seems we play by different rules as in my eyes all pokemon are usable in one way or another

        Reply
        • Didn’t say anything about not being useable. Of course some Pokemon will outclass others in certain roles. Dunno about rules, but it depends what you need on your team. I find Tapu Lele better cos I play Hyper offensive (it hits harder). And Tapu Lele provides greater team support.

          But Gardevour is still one of my favourite Pokemon.

          Reply
      • I’d say they have different niches

        Gardevoir is faster and bypasses Substitute as well as better from the Fairy side, but Lele has stronger Psychic potential and dgaf about priority

        Reply
        • In most cases I think Tapu Lele will win over Mega Gardevoir mainly cos it’s ability doesn’t leave it weak to Scizor, and other priority. And it hits harder.

          But yes, it’s definitely what you need on your team. Lele has the advantage of hitting harder, avoiding priority and providing team support. Mega Gardevoir hits through subs, has greater special bulk and can Wish support + Wisp if needed.

    Hard time deciding what to base my first team on.

    Also you can get Bottle Caps by fishing? Cool. I have 2 so far. Which means if I can catch a Timid Lele with 3 Max IV, I can boost up the other 2 and have a 5IV Lele.

  46. I’m 50% done with the Alola Dex!. Slowly, but surely I’m making my way to finishing it. I’m starting to run out of (relatively) easy Pokemon to catch. Got lucky earlier when I encountered a 1% Dratini. lol I may do some breeding of Pokemon that I know are typically needed by others to get the hard ones like Weather SOS Pokemon and such. I may end up using my brothers copy to get Pokemon that need to evolve via trading, but if I can’t I’ll have to depend on you guys! lol

Again I can’t right now, but I’d be ready and willing later on today at the other persons leisure.

          • Yea back in 2012ish Carol officially became Captain Marvel. Marvel has been on a big diversity kick for the past 4-5 years. Personally I’ve liked a lot of the changes that have come out of it. Like Sam Wilson (The Falcon) also uses the Captain America name. They just introduced a black, teen hero who is being mentored by Tony Stark and she has her own armor. There’s an incredibly kick-ass young adult, female Hawkeye named Kate Bishop.

            Also the Captain Marvel movie coming out in the next couple years will star a Bree Larson as Carol Danvers.

          • D.C. hasn’t changed much. They actually recently had a new publishing initiative all focused on the classics that everyone loves, with added focus on some characters like Harley Quinn who have risen to fame. Both companies have their pros and cons.

  48. I have to say this somewhere. They just announced The Last of Us Part 2 and I’m FREAKING out. TLOU was one of my most memorable gaming experiences of all time, I liked it almost too much. I can’t process this right now…I’m going into hibernation until 2018/2019…

          • The pinnacle of the OoT/3D Zelda formula imo. Fantastic characters. Beautiful art direction. Fantastic addition to the lore. The sky portion of the overworld works similar to WW’s ocean. The ground is like a mixture between exploration and puzzles. The dungeons are all so great. 1 : 1 sword fighting is so fun. The new items are incentive. The overall tone is similar to WW. I can’t sing it’s praises enough. It’s one of those things where when someone tells me they don’t like SS, it’s not that I think they’re objectively wrong or anything, but I know to never give their opinions on the franchise much weight. Skyward Sword was everything it needed to be. I think it was the perfect game to make before overhauling the series towards a more truely open world.

          • I really want to get around to it soon. I would need to get a Wii Motion Plus Wiimote though but I really need to play it. I’ve heard to many conflicting opinions so I want to see for myself

          • Ugh. Literally just checked to see if I still had spare motion+ nubs from when I purchased new Wii remotes with it built in but I must have sold them to GameStop. :s Id have shipped one to you in a heart beat

          • Lol. Maybe after Christmas when I get some extra money I’ll pick one up and a used copy of SS to fill that gap between Christmas and The Switch (because the switch release date is also a holiday)

      • Unpopular opinion: Overwatch is an extremely boring game. But maybe that’s just because I’m not a fan of the genre, the gameplay seems too repetitive.

        Reply
          • Yeah, I also thought TF2 was boring, so you’ll probably like Overwatch. It definitely wasn’t the worst game, it kept my interest for around a week or so. I feel like one of the reasons I wasn’t a fan though, is because my skill level at shooters is extremely low, and everyone else seems so good at the game.

          • Yeah that can be pretty frustrating. Like I love Smash Bros but I can never play online because I always get destroyed. Like I think I have won maybe 4 games compared to 200 something matched. I suck 😛

          • Backwards for me. I suck at shooters, but am amazing at smash. Anyway, that’s a good analogy. I wish Overwatch had a tiering system though, that’d make the game much better.

          • You play Smash too? I’m adding you to the list that includes SomeGuy right now as people I need to play against.

          • Here’s what bothers me
            Battleborn is a REALLY fun game! And it’s a lot different than what people claimed it to be! And Overwatch kinda mauled it.
            Worst of all? Battleborn clearly had a lot of thought put into it. The lore and backstory of certain characters in incredible, the most I’ve seen in a very long time. It’s just so sad that it got slaughtered

          • Jim Sterling’s video on it made be feel really bad for it. they should’ve delayed it a couple months just so they could release it at a time they wouldn’t be overshadowed by OW

          • Yeah… It should have
            Lemme just tell you this, this is the level of thinking that was put in the game

            A single rather humorous line said by a certain character sometimes at the start of a match with no actual real relevance actually brought up again by another character in a lore journal. The creators actually remembered this.

            I have had characters I have played for hundreds of games and I’m still hearing new lines.

            Honestly? Every character in the cast has a certain charm to them in my opinion, and it’s rare I feel like a game does that

    Reply
        • Ehh, story’s not something I really count since its mostly as good or bad as they invest time into it. Given they had a lot more time to invest into this story then X&Y, its not really that surprising that it turned out better. Its kind of the same case with Gen 4 and Gen 5.

          Reply
          • Oh don’t get me wrong. I remember a lot about pokemon’s story and love them. Its just something I don’t really hold them to be good or not given Story is one of the last things done when developing a game, giving it the least time in development. So if its bad, its more so because they didn’t spend/have a lot of time to work on it.

          • That more depends on the game though really. For most of gaming a story was little more then something to keep you going from point a to point b. Now games are a bit better handled with more of a focus on story. Heck as I’ve been saying I’ve been playing through FF15 and I’m kind of amazed by how much detail is in the game with it comes to its story and lore. From explaining how an entire town came to be fully run by women(who also pretty much supply power to an entire nation, to a random journalist who sends you out to take pictures for his propaganda magazine, to actually making me feel bad that a generic NPC was shot and killed because he wouldn’t rat out the main character in front of his own grandson, and then giving me a sidequest to basically go around the world to give him some Amiibo to feel better as he crashes with one of the many Waifu’s of the game.

            Story does seem like its becoming more and more important in gaming, but we’re still a long way off from it becoming the first priority. Heck I’m still waiting to see what will happen in the Aftermath of the Switch and see if the concept of a half gen console will actually succeed or fail like it sort of did for the new 3DS.

      • I honestly thought they would keep Super Training since they’re all for the idea of making competitive battling an easy thing to get into but nope

        Reply
        • Yeah. Chalk it up the the controversial design philosophy they have of taking out certain features to make the game/generation more memorable. Sometimes it’s fine like Kurt’s balls or the dream world, but this is a pretty big mistep on their part and really the only bad thing I can say about the game.

          Reply
          • True. It’s really the only complain I have about the entire game. However, it’s a horrible aspect to not excel at since competitive battling is all a Pokemon game has after everything’s been done. Sun and Moon was an amazing game but this just leaves a really bad after taste. Damn.

  63. Another question: What’s the longest you’ve ever chained before either finding a shiny or breaking the chain somehow?

  77. SOS battles are a really poorly designed mechanic. I’m trying to chain in order to find a Castform, and so I used an Adrenaline Orb and the opposing Pokemon is at 1 HP due to False Swipe. Even still, I can go 5 to 10 turns of waiting for it to call help, and it just doesn’t. And then, when it finally calls for help, nothing appears! But on the flip side, if I’m not trying to chain, and just trying to catch a Pokemon and did NOT use an Adrenaline Orb, the damn thing will call for help 5 times in a row and help will always be there!

  79. Question about Type: Null
    Was Silvally ever an intended evolution by the Aether Foundation? Because they mention Type: Null was designed to destroy the UB’s (never mentioning it can evolve), but RKS doesn’t activate until evolution, and Type: Null’s BST is 534, while the UB’s is 570. However, upon evolution, Silvally becomes 570. Silvally’s dex entry then mentions that it’s Gladion who gives the evolution a real name though, so I feel like Type: Null’s whole existence within the games is super unclear.

    Reply
    • I thought Sillvally was the one created to fight UBs but it’s power was unstable so they designed the Helmet to dampen it’s powers. Hence Type:Null.

      Reply
        • This is why it being a evolution irks me slightly. It doesn’t make sense for it to be an evolution. It’s a form change.

          Unless you wanna justify it by saying Type:Null must be comfortable with a trainer before removing it’s helmet becomes safe (hence the ‘evolution’ by happiness).

          But that’s too much of a stretch.

          Reply
          • I agree, as is, Silvally sort of bothers me. They could rectify it by giving Type: Null a form change that isn’t Silvally, but similar. That way Gladion still would be the one to discover Silvally by evolving Type:Null with love instead of helmet removal. They would also probably need to boost Silvally’s BST if they did this though.

    • I always thought that was silvally was type full but do to them being unable to control it the nerfed it down to type null and only once they figured out how to control it would they remove it’s mask

        • Well to be fair they both had their own uses so it’s kind of hard to say. Also I had Mudsdale most of my game and Ninetails really only for ending part more so (at least until it’s available anyway), but I guess in a way Mudsdale is more useful. Having ground, fighting and a Steel type move available to it is pretty useful. That said in the right battle Ninetails is super useful. Both are great is what i’m saying lol

  87. This is it. I’m out of PP items, and I have exactly 20 more chances to get the Pikipek. If not, I wasted 8 hours on chaining 700 Pikipek for nothing.

  100. 20 Hours into S&M and I’m just about to head to the Ula Ula meadows. I feel like my team is seriously overleveled at this point but it’s cause I’m tryna catch all the Pokemon in the areas as I go through them.
    Incineroar lvl 47
    Decidueye lvl 45
    Lycanrock lvl 43
    Charjabug lvl 44
    Gonna add my female lvl 1 Popplio to my team when I reach Po town and then I’ll be catching my Jangmo-o which will be very under levelled compared to the rest when I reach the final island
    Having fun however so that’s always a plus

    Reply
      • Well they all gain boosted exp cause of Refresh while Decidueye is also traded so he gets trade boosted exp. I’m always way overlevled in my first run of a new gen, when I get Moon, I feel like it’ll be a lot tougher for me cause I won’t be as focused on getting all the Pokemon as I have been now

        Reply
      • I’ve found a shiny dewpider before shiny charm after 150 encounters. Today I got the shiny charm and I got a shiny Bagon after 147 encounters. Now I’m hunting for shiny eevee, I’m at 180 encounters and still nothing. People seem able to find shiny before shiny charm and with less then 100 encounters so imo shiny charm only encrease the chance for each ally to be shiny but like with wild pokemon (1/1300)

        Reply
        • 3 trials isn’t enough to conclude anything imo. You’d need to look at the source code to fully prove that it does or doesn’t affect it.
          Remember that the chance for finding a shiny is exactly that — a chance. It’s possible you’ll go over the odds. It’s possible that you’ll go twice over the odds. It’s possible you’ll get it on your first try.

          There is something I’d like to point out though. Let’s say that the probability of finding a shiny is 1/K. This means that the probability of finding a regular is (K-1)/K. If you want the probability of finding x amount of pokemon and then a shiny, it would be P(x)=((K-1)/K)^x*1/K. Evidently, this decreases as x increases. So it’s possible that the higher you are in the chain, the lower your odds are. Though my math may be wrong because I’m not good at probability & statistics.

    • vulpix used grudge over and over wiping out my PP, Minior can explode, and Ditto is a no go because my false swiper is Goliospod, so like there are a lot of tough things to chain

      oh also morelull has moonlight

      Reply
          • What you need:

            Smeargle with Reflect Type and Recycle
            A false swiper that can hit ghosts (Decidueye/Pangoro probably, preferably Decidueye)
            Haunter (or same evo line) that only knows Explosion
            Something with Trick that is holding a leppa berry
            Something with Damp (Poliwag probably)

            1. Lead with Smeargle, make Ditto copy it.
            2. Put in your Trick user, trick Leppa berry onto the Smeargle.
            3. Put in your Decidueye, wait for Smeargle to copy its type
            4. False Swipe the Smeargle. (Use Foresight as needed.)
            5. Put in your Haunter.
            6. Use Adrenaline Orb.

            What should happen: Now you can just press A to reuse Adrenaline Orb mindlessly until you either see a shiny ditto or you have counted enough chains to get a 4IV. Once you see a Ditto you like or there’s enough chains, just put in the Damp Pokemon, kill the Smeargle and then catch the remaining Haunter with a Timer/Repeat Ball.

          • thanks but this and exceledus’s thing both seem like too much effort for me, I only get to play for a like less than an hour a day now because I’m working so much

          • if the below strat is too complicated, try this:
            -Porygon learns recycle. use the move delete to make sure it is the only move it knows.
            -Get a hypno to learn switcheroo via move tutor. make it hold a leppa berry
            -find a ditto, lead with porygon. use adrenaline orb turn 1.
            -switch to hypno after ditto transforms into porygon, use switcheroo to give ditto a leppa berry
            -the ditto can never ko itself with struggle, because it only has recycle, which is making it constantly use a leppa berry to restore recycle’s PP. chain from there with whatever pokemon you want without worrying about it killing itself.

  111. @ithsme:disqus – apparently it’s possible to overwrite a female’s Pokeball if you use the same species.

    So if you have a (whatever ball) male Mareanie and bred it with Timer Ball female Mareanie, a percentage of the offspring will be in the male’s ball. Only works with same species, but that means you can now overwrite the Timer Ball that you dislike and still get an HA.

      • Nononono
        Those buttwipes are going to try to use Shift Gear to give it better speed
        Fluer Cannon is too risky for a sweeper because unless holding a white herb to restore the missing sp atk it’s probably going to run Dazzling Gleam in place since of the reliability
        Also you will only see Ice Beam on this thing

        Reply
        • Oh, I missed that it learned ice beam. Yeah, that’d be better for those ground types. Shift gear seems okay, but idk I feel it’d be a waste of a slot. Its speed stat is only 65, I’d rather boost sp attack and sp defense. Dazzling Gleam over fleur cannon. It’s a considerable drop in power, but I guess there’s more security in not lowering sp attack.

          Reply
          • Speed and attack stability is the most important thing
            Oooo I think maybe Darmanitan can counter this too
            Resisting all attacks it can throw at it

          • Of course
            Because you want to make your moves first and chip away at your opponent before he/she does it to you

            But unless you can garuentee you can resist their onslaught

            See it’s always a game of who can get who into a corner first either by rushing in attacks blazing to smash their strategy or the opposite fortify yourself so nothing touches you and stalling out (this methods causes me nothing but pure anguish)

  116. Okay, can someone tell me what the hell is the deal with the forced Wishiwashi encounters on Brooklet Hill? I was going to catch the first one (lv. 17), but I defeated it, saved after and screwed up that encounter.
    As such, I’m trying to catch the second one (lv. 18). And wtf?! It calls for help 100% of the time, even at full health & paralyzed, starting from turn 1. I tried to catch it before it could call for help by throwing a Net Ball at it right away. Well, it has a catch rate of 60, so no luck there (only managed to capture it once but it had bad IVs). I decided to catch one of the allies.
    Weird thing: even though the original Wishiwashi is always calling for help, if you kill it after it calls an ally, the ally alone doesn’t call for help (or if it does, it does so very rarely). Another weird thing: the allies it calls are either always male or always female (again, it does seems so). That’s actually okay, cause I want a male one, so I just reset until the allies it calls are always male.
    But that brings me to the next problem: Synchronize is not working on the allies. I know that for chaining allies, you need the Synchronizer on the field and the first pokemon in your party (fainted or not) with the nature you want. So, now I have a quiet nature fainted -mon in the 1st slot and my Kadabra on the field. I caught a few of them (5 or 6) to test and none of the allies had the quiet nature. Like, why? It worked before on a previous chain. What’s the problem with this encounter? Did they programmed it this way on purpose?
    I know I can fish for one after the trial, but a random encounter is not as good as a forced one and I already wasted the first adrenaline orb you get in the game (route 4) on that other chain I did and I don’t feel like waiting until the third trial to be able to buy more. By that time, I won’t need the wishiwashi anymore. Is there any way around this? I thought about chaining the allies until the ones with 4 perfect IVs appear, catch one of those and then breed, but how am I going to check the IVs of the baby at this point in the game?

    Reply
    • Yeah, catching those forced encounters is really hard. That’s what I tried to do for my wishiwashi, but ended up killing them all on accident. I would just wait until after the trial honestly to catch a wishiwashi. That’s what I did and I didn’t have any synchronizer so it was tricky. But as far as catching one with good IV’s, I would just wait till you beat the main quest and get to the battle tree to worry about IV’s. You can catch or breed a better wishiwashi later since there’s really no way to check at that point in the game. I think I settled with a Quiet natured Wishiwashi (don’t know how many IV’s yet) and the thing is still a beast. It can tank so many shots.

      Reply
        • I think I caught one of the forced encounter ones but its nature was bad enough that I felt the need to search for another 😛 But it took me like 18 wishiwashi till I got a quiet one from fishing

      • I wanted to catch it now so I wouldn’t have to do it later. I know we don’t need to care much about natures and IVs to beat the game, but I try to get good pokémon anyway.

    • Wait….are you talking about the Wishiwashi that you encounter during Lana’s Trial? If so you can’t catch them. During a Trial you aren’t allowed to catch Pokemon so those Wishiwashi aren’t for sale unfortunately lol

      Needless to say, while I still love Walrein, I despise anyone’s Walrein running Stockpile, Rest, Snore, and Frost Breath holding a Chesto berry.
