If you haven't saved recently and don't want to reset, struggle will eventually end the battle one way or the other.

currently stuck in a battle with the first beauty on the way to the first trial. has a ghastly. it doesnt have any attack moves... all my munchlax attacks are normal and can't affect it. I cant run, and it used this move to make it so I can't escape. Might have to reset since there's no way to end this battle.

Edit: and none of my metronome moves worked so yeah, totally boned.

over half my team died to the magnetmite teacher fight, and i had to tank it with pichu thundershocks

so you did better then me in how far you got to the first roadblock

struggle is what happens when a pokemon has no PP for moves left

It's the self damaging move every Pokémon uses once it runs out of pp for everything

more importantly, it's a Typeless move and hits everything regardless of immunities. It's piss-weak but still an attack.

Dokuro, of course, being "Skull" in japanese. :eng101:

In alola the tails routinely fall off slowpokes without them noticing or feeling any pain, and they grow back later.

Pokémon Moon seems pretty open about eating Pokémon:

Crabrawler posted:

It punches so much, its pincers often come off from overuse, but they grow back quickly. What little meat they contain is rich and delicious.

Slowpoke posted:

Alolan home cooking involves drying Slowpoke tails and then simmering them into a salty stew.

Pokémon Sun makes no mention of this.


Delicious Pokémon aside, I absolutely love this game so far. :kimchi: The setting is so nice and everything is so cute! I wasn't a big fan of XY's "rich people and poodles" style and it felt like they didn't really know what to do with the newfangled third dimension. In this game, the environments, movement and utilization of the world (like the trials, photo opportunities, etc.) makes it feel so much more fresh.

Speaking of Rotom, I'll ask again just in case someone knows (the thread moves fast);

Is there any way to stop the god drat blinking on the bottom screen?

It's not so much the constant staring that bothers me, it's that he keeps blinking and it makes me involuntarily move my eyes to the bottom screen thinking something has happened. I wanted to like the Rotomdex but this is my #1 biggest problem with the game right now :smith:

WHERE IS THE MUK HAT

Also I like that you can apparently change Oricorio around by giving it nectar, that's better than my old plan of 'catch all of them'.
