So how far into the game do you need to get to get Tyrunt? (AKA not just get the Jaw Fossil but actually get the pokemon out of it)

How do I reset EVs? I remember there being a way, but I just started level 3 Special training and well my Tyrantrum's EV's are messed up

I think this might be my favorite Pokemon yet. Of course, I'm pretty sure I've been saying that since Red/Blue, so. :v: Just wonder-traded my Abra for a Pancham named Pam-Pam from someone in France.

Does tipping affect anything? It's kind of weird that this would be the game to include it. Tipping is pretty uncommon in France, and given how heavily (and pretty well, generally) they're leaning into THIS IS LITERALLY FRANCE W/ POKEMON, I'm surprised they'd make this kind of gaffe.

Sorry if this has been asked a bunch, but what are the circumstances that affect ability to trade/battle/o-power others? My girlfriend and I have been playing right next to each other since launch and about 50% of the time our options are greyed out, regardless of what situation we are in.

Sorry to self-quote so soon, but my question seems to have slipped by. What makes it so I can't o-power and such even when on wifi and internet? It seems to be random. Is there a level difference cap?

You can get the Tyrunt soon after you receive the fossil by traveling back to the lab.

You can revive it in the museum as soon as you get the fossil.

Sorry for the newbie question, this is my first poke game, but what are things to consider when the question of evolutions come up? Should I evolve right away? or wait?

I'm pretty sure the only pokemon that can get screwed on movesets are ones that evolve using stones. And that kind of doesn't really matter now that TMs are infinite.

You get the fossil in Glittering Cave and you can resurrect it immediately after leave the cave and going back to Ambrette Town which is something like a 5 minute walk at most.

Whose bright idea was it to give motherfucking Gengar of all pokemon access to an 80 power Special Fairy-type move and a goddamn Mega Evolution? I'm not complaining, Gengar is one of my all-time favorites, but with both of its preferred types buffed in Gen VI throwing it the ability to be SE against Fighting/Dark/Dragon/Grass/Fairy/Psychic/Ghost/Flying/Water and mega-evolve just makes it a ridiculous in-game sweeper and probably don't hurt none competitively either (although you probably wouldn't run Shadow Ball/Sludge Bomb/Thunderbolt/Dazzling Gleam competitively, but the fact it can take any of those in combo is insane).

Seriously, you beautiful ghost bastard.

The game even provides you an escape rope right next to the guy that gives you a fossil for easy exit.

Unrelated, Serebii has updated their Pokearth with locations for Pokemon. I wasn't able to use the little map they had but the drop down menu works fine. It doesn't provide percentages but it will at least tell you where things are in each route. Also some more information about Pokemon not considered for sky battles and how certain Pokemon evolve.

Most of the crew in this game don't even want to fight, and rival girl sucks rear end at pokemon battling (you seriously still only have 3 mon's what the hell are you doing).

My Quilladin, Wartortle, and Combusken all evolved at the same time after the rival battle to determine who will be getting a Mega Ring. It was glorious.

Actually, speaking of, what happens if you lose that battle? I assume you just white out and try again, but it would be amazing if you could lock yourself out of a mega ring until postgame or something.

Just had a great string of luck. I Wonder Trade a Slowpoke, get a Japanese Ditto in return. Breed my Squirtle with the Ditto, result is shiny (and I nearly Wonder Trade it away before I see the red star). Trade off another Squirtle in GTS, get a Charmander with Pokerus. This is all wonderful news, but the best part is come December, I'll finally have my all water starter team with shiny mega Blastoise taking his rightful place as captain.

Yeah, what I don't like is that the main rival in this game sounds like a stereotype trainer. They don't seem to have a personality, just "oh, there is a thing to be done. Let us go do the thing."

Honestly, getting exp for catching Pokemon has made me catch more Pokemon in general. Why hasn't it been this way the whole time?
