It's MISSEL! Or SISSLE!

Also also Z-Metronome rules. I dunno what the mechanics are but it can do all the generic Z moves by the looks of things?

Z-Metronome chooses a random move like it always does but then gives you the Z-version of that move. So most of the time you get the standard elemental Z-moves but then sometimes you'll get one of the special ones and it rules.

I keep seeing Stuffuls that belong to other people, but have never been able to find one in the wild! I gave up trying to find one on route 8. Is it only in a certain patch of grass?

My team is pretty great as is, but I do need a Stufful. I ran across a lady with 8 of them! Why can't I just have one of hers?

Try the Akala outskirts, there's only one encounter table there so there's no worries about using the wrong grass.

Serebii says it's just a really rare (5%) encounter. I was having similar trouble finding Delibird on Route 3 since he's only found there in the top patch 10% of the time.

Still now that my spider's leveled up I'm gonna experiment with Wishiwashi. Anyone messed around with the coward shrimp thing? I can't even catch one let alone tinker with it to know if it's worth leveling to evolve.

Wishiwashi isn't bad, and I wanna use mine more, but he's instantly outclassed by the waterspider you can get in the exact same area who hilariously gets a bonus on top of STAB for water moves and has a better movepool to pick from.

I love the spider's design. As cool as Washiwashi is, I might try out the spider instead...

...except I'm trying to lessen my flying/rock weaknesses, not make it even worse. I guess I could swap out my Grubbin though.
Why do there have to be so many cool bug types this gen?

You mean Wimpod? Yeah, I raised one. It's a bit of a pain to level but you get one around level 20 and it evolves at level 30 and it's a monster when it evolves. I think it's definitely worth it.

So many people are finding shiny pokemon this generation, it's insane. My friend caught a shiny zubat earlier this evening.
Maybe there's a glitch that's making it actually much higher than 1/4000 chance?

There are a lot of people playing right now, so you're going to be hearing about a lot of success stories. Keep in mind that people aren't gonna be talking about the several other non-shinies they ran into. :v:

"Most plans are critically flawed by their own logic. A failure at any step will ruin everything after it. That's just basic cause and effect. It's easy for a good plan to fall apart. Therefore, a plan that has no attachment to logic cannot be stopped."
Why the hell do they introduce you to Battle Royales this early in the game, and then not bother implementing the staple feature from old Battle Tower variants of leveling your Pokemon up when you enter? I accidentally went with a Cutiefly that had Honey Gather, I need that drat Ability Capsule now.

The grass trial zone has a bunch of grass stuff I think. Using the bounsweet is a good idea though, tsareena is incredible
