The only people who box their starters are monsters, and, honestly, I hope you're banned :colbert:

EDIT: Okay obvious exception is gen 5 because holy poo poo none of them are interesting or good.

The move relearner got moved to very late in the game. She's in the Pokemon Center at the Pokemon League. But now she teaches your Pokemon any move in their level up pool, no matter what level they're at.

Goddamn. So you could go teach flare blitz to a level 1 Growlithe for just a heart scale? That seems insane(ly cool)

I think this may be the first gen I will consider boxing or wonder trading my starter. Probably box it since there won't be any non-alolan things coming in at all.

I can't decide who to use for my starter. Rowlett has the best first form but Poppilo has the best last form. I really hate Poppilo but love Primarina. It's all too much

If you box your starter, anything you catch at a level below 10 and use for the whole game may be considered an honorary starter.

Behold all the resistances!

I would have liked to use an all new gen team, but the ones I liked (Golisopod, Araquanid and WHYISTHEANCHORNOTGHOSTSTEELWEALREADYHAVEAGHOSTGRASSTHISGEN Dhelmise) added a ton of weaknesses. I also liked Solgaleo and it worked well, but I don't like using Legendaries in my team, so Skarmory stepped up. Plus I never used Skarmory before, so hey, new ground for me too.

They're legendaries on the same tier as zapdos et al. Legal in battle spot too I think? Though I'm not sure.

They are technically legendaries. They're also legal in all battle formats.

Gonna have to trade for a few of those ultra beasts. Can't wait to be able to bank and restart for bargaining chips.

Pakled: Aug 6, 2011; WE ARE SMART

Version-exclusive regular pokemon make for pretty good bargaining chips, especially early in a game's life cycle. A surprising amount of people are willing to trade legendaries and other hard-to-acquire pokemon for version exclusives if you put em up on the GTS.

Actually you can catch multiples of your UB-02, so you'll have spares of your version exclusive.

That means it effectively gets STAB on three types (Grass, Ghost and Steel). Cool beans

Steel STAB is pretty eh though, TBH. Not nearly as much since fairy became a thing, but still.

in addition to just providing general neutral coverage for when your grass/ghost stabs don't cut it (ie: against sap sipper drampa), steel is SE against 3 of the 4 Tapus and that is going to be huge in the new meta

Does anyone know where I can find the following?

A table of new moves, like this, but with plain text for types and categories.
A similar table for new Pokemon, including UBs and Alolan Forms, with at least types and abilities.

I need this information for the project I'm working on, and having it in a table Google Sheets can parse makes things way, way easier than the Smogon pastebins linked in the Discord. Thanks in advance.
