I have been told that there's an incident late in the game where a legendary encounter follows a difficult, or at least lengthy, trainer battle, and you don't have an opportunity to change out your team in between. Is this true? When does it happen? What's the pokemon? If I knock it out instead of capturing it, will it respawn, and how? And is there anything else I should know?

I'm pretty deadset on Decidueye but Primarina using a Spirit Bomb as its Z-Move makes a compelling case

That and I'm a huge fan of Wimpod's evolution and the water spider so I will have a ton of Water on my team, but not much fire. Maybe I'll run two teams and get an Litten egg asap.

The only legendary you can get in the main story (aside from Zygarde) is the box legendary, which is a required capture.

Legit kinda bummed to hear you don't have to breed for IV's anymore. I know it sounds dumb but breeding was my favorite thing to do while watching netflix or listening to podcasts or whatever.

Bummed to hear that O Powers are gone. Those made catching legendary Pokémon less of a chore. (You're paralyzed and at 1 HP and I'm using balls with a 3x capture rate, just stay in the ball!)

Don't forget that to Hyper Train a Pokemon it needs to be at Level 100!

Also, raising a Pokémon to level 100 to actually be allowed to use Hyper Training may end up being more tedious and grindy than IV breeding was in Gen 6, anyway. e:f,b

Yeah especially with triple battles going away, I doubt there'll be a powerleveling method as fast and easy as using Restaurant Le Wow.

Fortunately, it seems pretty easy to get heart scales in this game. I got 4 for eating at the restaurant in Malie City, for 4000 pokemoney. I dunno if that's a daily thing or what but I've seen other people saying that getting heart scales is easy so I assume so.

I will happily do it for a few favorites if their IVs is their only imperfection (wait until january my perfect precious Breloom) but unless there is some secret power leveling hidden in the endgame it seems easier to keep on breeding with perfect IV Dittos.

 This is currently what I'm thinking my team will be for Sun. In Pokemon, I usually have the problem of too many members belonging to a certain type (like in Y where I had 3 friggin Fire types because Delphox, Charizard, and event Blaziken), so this time I took the opposite route: every member of my team MUST have a unique typing. This way I won't be tempted to use Incineroar and Salazzle both and end up gimping myself against the inevitable Water type boss. I'd like to see you guys' thoughts on it and see if you have any recommendations for me. Important Note: this is not a competitive team because I have no patience for competitive battling. This is just meant to get me through the main game/post game.

Is Vikavolt late game? I thought he was the Beedrill of Alola

Tatum Girlparts posted:Is Vikavolt late game? I thought he was the Beedrill of Alola I believe it is, but it requires the Magnezone area to evolve if I remember right. Kommo-mo is definitely late game though. EDIT: For opinions, any team with Tsareena is a good team. I personally wouldn't use a Toxapex in my main game since he's a defense heavy dude and I generally blitz through the story with as many high powered guys as possible, but it's your call. Sadly Wimpod overlaps with Vikavolt under your condition. Cipher Pol 9 fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Nov 15, 2016 |

The first stage of Vikavolt can be caught pretty early on in the first island, but the final evolution can't be attained until the fourth island, in the same area you evolve Magnezone.

Tatum Girlparts posted:Is Vikavolt late game? I thought he was the Beedrill of Alola My primary complaint with this gen is that is has a lot of non-standard, sort of obtuse evolutions. Crabrawler is one of the first pokes you can catch but you can't evolve it until the final island. He's level 45 and still in his first form for me, and my charjabuss(?) is in the same situation

Thinking about Vikavolt, they were really stingy with three-stage evolutions this time around. You've got the three starter lines, the regional bird line, the regional pseudo-legendary line, and then just two more.

I'm pretty sure porygon is a post-game mon only and Kommo-o is borderline postgame as well. You might want to make a midgame team that's easier to assemble to fill up spaces. I'm running a Persian until I find a cooler Dark type, you have an EXP share so it doesn't feel like you're wasting your time with a temporary slot. This game has tons of ghost type pokes, a lot of which are super cool and I would very highly recommend having one

You've got the three starter lines, the regional bird line, the regional pseudo-legendary line, and then just two more. I counted and iirc it's something like 13 single stage guys this gen compared to like 5 in gen 6--not counting legendaries. Gen 2 and Gen 4 are practically tied for the lowest number of 3-stagers, but in gen 4's defense it spent a lot of its dex boosting older mons. I mean not that it matters much since I think gen 7's got some of the best Pokemon designs in a while, but it is a bit of a shame they didn't break out with a few more surprise evos. Lookin' at you, Komala.

reading the various pre-release theorycraft threads on smogon is cool, lots of optimism regarding stuff you wouldnt necessarily think (like Minior). even if a lot of these mons are gonna fall by the wayside im really excited for the craziness of the first few weeks/months on showdown e: here's the theorycraft SuMo forum if youre bored http://www.smogon.com/forums/forums/sun-and-moon.374/

I finally collected all the pieces of Zygarde. It just changes ability to Power Construct and that's it. No cutscene or anything outside of a "Good you got them all" message. This is also all information on the official site aside from the bit about what happens at the end.cheetah7071 posted:Which island number is ghost oricorio on? 4 I think.
