On the subject of Cubone - do you have access to Thief by the time you can catch them?
Or am I just gonna have to catch a ton and hope one of them has the thick club?

Shiny, level 100, and competitive stats/nature. No HA though, but I'm guessing those might not be available and might flag their legitimacy checks.

Shane, if you could breed the HA from it it would be indisquisable from being legit I'd think.

Why is Ash somehow even younger looking in this new season? Haven't something like 10-15 years passed in the show since it released?

He's a cartoon and cartoons do not age, usually.

I don't think I'd re-buy Sun/Moon for the Switch, but if they put out Pokemon Stars or whatever at the same time, I'd get that.

Thief TM is in the same room as the first totem fight against the Gumshoos, but requires Tauros Ride to break rocks up a ramp.

Fly is in the 3rd island library with a sightseer and Surf/Dive are on the last island with a pair of female swimmers.

How many Pokemon are catchable in Sun/Moon?

Is this one of the games where there's going to be like 300 pokemon that you can only get by trading or transferring from another gen via the bank?

I forget what the Pokedex number for the last Ultra Beast was, but it's around 300 with 70 being completely new. That also counts for the shiny charm.

With the QR Code scanning, you can make something that may not normally appear in the game show up once a day. The couple of times I've done it has always been something from an old gen that's not in Alola. Wild Pokemon show up on the bean island once a day too, but I think that's all Alola stuff. Though not necessarily stuff you've caught before.

But the highest number I have in the Alola Pokedex is 299, so there's probably 400-something you'd have to bank/trade/QR scan for.

How does the QR island scan work? Just go to the route it says and walk through grass?

Question for people that have the game: Is Lillie as adorable in the game as she is in the anime? Because she's the best. :3:


how do you live with yourself

Lillie is kind of warming up to the MC right now but I also wouldn't be terribly surprised if she revealed she was a alien and this was her first time with silly human emotions.

She's reeeally stiff and robotic for a long while.

Yup. The Pokemon will be whatever level usually shows up there, and I think it shows up on the island you're on when you run the scan, so make sure it's not an island with blocked off areas.

When I've had one show up, it's always been the third fight or sooner, and they hang around for an hour before they go away. There's only one, if you catch it or knock it out, it's gone. I haven't tried running away to see if that does it too.

So is Drifloon just a really rare spawn at Han'ouli Cemetary or is it a unique/event one like D/P/P? I've been running around in here for like an hour and have only run into Gastly, Misdreavus and rarely Zubat.

I dunno why but these dumb npc sidequests are getting me to grind this stuff out.

Haven't played a Pokemon game since the first DS one, haven't finished a Pokemon game since Red. Why are people trying to get female starters? Any other tips for someone who's only casually played before but doesn't want to get owned online.

when you breed new pokemon the species is whatever the mother is so getting a female starter means you can breed new starters before getting a ditto
