  1. Huh, so always Abra/Slowpoke, Mienfoo/Shinx?
    I figured at higher levels they’d have evolved or more Pokemon.
    I’m using my low level file (immediate DLC after hitting wild area) and was getting my butt handed to me.
    Both Avery and Mustard had theirs in the 10 to 12 range, as mine were also that area of level.

  2. Hey I just got Kubfu in IoA and if anyone here has gotten further than me/finished the story I have a question. Have yall seen any new Pokemon/Galarian Forms aside from the Urshifu line and Slowbro lines? I don’t want to know what they are (if they exist), I want to see that for myself, I’d just like a yes or no

  3. Ok so I haven’t played much but I wanna say Isle is fun but a few flaws

    Biggest one is I absolutely hate the new rivals character
    The other is that it’s kinda short

    • I kinda like Avery. His dialogue is really funny in a stupid fun kinda way for me and even with the sh*tty things he did, I kinda felt bad for him at times

  4. Phew, got Kubfu. Going in as soon as you get to the Wild Area is a struggle.
    I jumped out, got the first badge and went back in with a little extra help.
    Trial 3 had opponent’s Pokemon in the 23 to 25 range.

    Curious if that was some sort of scaling or something else, because the Trial 2 battle had Pokemon late teen/early 20 when I had a level 17 Thwackey.

    Now to only do this two more times, but at least they’ll be easier.

  5. What natures are people pursuing with Kubfu?
    I have a Hardy and a Rash.
    Kind of wish its stats were a bit more “balanced”, as I would have loved a Physical Single Strike Style and a Special Rapid Strike Style.

    • Yea. AJP shared a video doing it when hunting the dens of GMax Blastoise and GMax Venusaur.
      I don’t know how they’re tracking, but don’t forget about your one Zeraora raid.

  6. Anyone else has found Milo just hanging around the beach next to the Tower of Waters? he didn’t initiate combat, but I wonder if this is a new event, maybe a different NPC will appear in the island every day.

    • Huh, okay, I was curious about this because I spoke to Hop (after Mustard went to the battle court) and he mentioned a gym leader. I kind of went through the text too fast, but I thought at the station and no one was there.

      Guess I’ll check around when I try to do these raid battles for mushrooms to grow.

  7. I can’t believe I actually thought we would be getting new Pokémon and or new galarian forms. All we get is galarian slowbro and 2 or 3 legendaries. I lose faith in this franchise more and more every day.

    • I’m sure Tundra will have more Galarian forms/new pokemon. We already know that we’re getting the legendary birds, the two new Regis, cylrex *I think I spelt that right* and we see that the trainer uses relicanth in battle with one of the OG regis so theres gonna be more mons added to the dex that Armor didnt. I have a feeling we might get a Galarian Regigigias to coincide with the 2 new ones. I think they also mentioned G. Slowing would be available in Tundra as well
