Well, Sandshrew has been said to have different stats, so it's possible the others will get some rearrangements to that could really improve them without changing their totals.

ninetales is already 40 times better by having an amazing offensive typing and being generally the most beautiful pupper I've ever seen

This got buried in the CoroCoro stuff, but does it specify happiness or Pokemon Amie affection? Which one did you do? Try the other one?

He's specifically worried about Uxie, who is a pain. If the current time isn't working for you, then use the in-game time: if it looks like it's sunset/dusk, then that's the time Uxie is available. It is only one hour out of the whole day, which is definitely annoying.

I literally said "Alolan Meowth when" yesterday and not even in like a serious tone. What the gently caress

I really love Bewear's prevo though, and the sandcastle Pokémon are similarly awesome

Alolan ninetales is weak to actual ninetales and this confuses me (Also 4x weak to steel lol)

I'm rusty but I think that the evolved castle's name is Shirodesuna, which is a fantastic pun that could be read as shiro de suna (castle of sand) or shiro desu na (it's a castle, isn't it?).

Aside from being 50% sassier looking Alola Meowth just looks like a quick recolor to me and I don't think that sassiness will translate into the 3D model version.

Also I thought Alola sandshrew looks the same but the tiles on its skin are slightly raised and turn it into a tiny little igloo :3:

Let's hope the Exp. Share is the same as in XY, so we won't have to limit ourselves.

Alolan Marowak developed in response to its natural predators in order to resist them.

Ground is weak to grass and ice while fire/ghost resists them both, so I wonder who the predators are?

So people seem to be saying I can still do the Mew glitch in yellow as long as there is some trainer in the world that walks up to you from long range, and I face the correct ditto to get the right special stat.

I can't find any info about this online, could someone elaborate or link to a guide?

It's harder in Yellow due to the location of Dittos.

If you'd like to only use one trainer, I suggest using the one east of Fuschia, right where the route turns north. Trigger him from off-screen, fly back to Fuschia, change boxes at a PC, restart the game, go to the Warden's house, use strength on the boulder in there, fly to Cinnabar, fight a Ditto, have it transform, kill it or run away, use an escape rope, fly back to Fuschia, walk east. The start screen will pop up. Press start. The pokemon that will appear will have the index number of the special stat the pokemon the ditto transformed into. Here's a full list: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_index_number_(Generation_I)

It's easier in Red/Blue because Ditto is on that same route east of Fuschia instead of the basement of the loving Pokémon Mansion. I have a full living dex in red by doing this.

Edit: Note that the index wraps around at 255. If you want a Rhydon out of it for whatever reason you'd need a special stat of 256.

Alola Muk (Fire)


Alola Nosepass (Grass/Ghost)


Alola Huntail (Water/Fairy, has Cute Charm)


Alola Jynx + Gurdurr (Both are Rock/Fighting)


Alola Unown (Psychic/Fairy I guess??)
