Politoed can't even get OU anymore, I don't see how Pelipper would.

You see the most shocking sights sometimes
Is there a way to get Pokemon with hidden abilities in the main game, or is that post-game?

Do the routes in Sun/Moon have individual names like in XY?

This is an important question.

Pelipper has way more going for it than Politoed, as my good friend countblanc outlined above.

Unless it's not in the data for some reason, there isn't. The only old pokemon that got ability changes were Gengar, the Dog HAs to Inner Focus, the new weather group, and Beartic getting Slush Rush.

Hard to say if they really changed them, given that they didn't exist before in the first place. They were just placeholders.

The only reason Bibarel isn't kind of OU at this very moment is that Smogon is afraid of his true form and sealed away Moody with the blood of 100 sacrifices.

There are both numbered and named routes.

Also, I don't remember if this was in XY or not, but individual patches of grass have encounter tables, rather than routes, which means there are a few cases where a given pokemon will appear only in one spot on a given route.

Jokes aside I never got people who would argue for the use of moody

it just makes the whole battle a boring slog/crapshoot

poo poo at least it's something useless/squishy like Bibarel, imagine like Ferrothorn with moody

hey thread what in your opinion is the weirdest change a pokemon undergoes when evolving? while there's some that drastically change (magikarp > gyarados, trapinch > vibrava etc.) there are at least thematic reasons behind them. but then there's stuff like shroomish > breloom, and aside from retaining the mushroom theme, i don't see how they're connected at all. why would this random mushroom turn into a boxing kangaroo??

Feebas had a 100% capture rate if you went fishing at one specific spot in ORAS under a bridge on route 119

So Alola Sandslash's Slush Rush ability makes it speed up while in Hail.

It's a blue quilled creature with the ability to move at high speeds.

Yes, like that except it applies to regular grass.

Although I did spend about two hours trying to catch a Feebas at the behest of an NPC with no luck. Now that fishing only happens at specific nodes, though, I imagine this was more bad luck than pixel hunt.
