How many generations until we get a pokemon that evolves when you heal it at a Pokemon Center? They're not branching out enough with conditions that aren't "level in an endgame area" or "level unreasonably high", dammit.

I still want an ghost-type eeveelution that evolves if it levels while fainted.

I just hit the Elite 4 and my team is actually quite underleveled due to me constantly switching people in and out. Are my only grinding options wild pokemon on the "Victory Road" equivalent?

buy a shitload of items. most of my team was around level 46-48 when I fought the E4 and I had to use a bunch of X-Stat boosters, revives, etc since I turned off EXP Share immediately. felt really good to beat though and I didn't have to go back and grind.

I stepped in a single patch of grass and caught it instantly.

I also fished up a Feebas in one try at a spot I didn't know had Feebas.

Yep yep also dude is starting to take hits and keep going don't even care anymore that he still has one digit speed.

When I fought the Kahuna on the first island, Munchlax used Happy Hour and immediately got the poo poo wrecked out of him by an incredibly unexpected Z-Fighting Move. I was a bit over-leveled though, so Munchlax hung on with like eight HP. It was when I simultaneously realized Munch was the poo poo and that this game was not kidding around anymore.

I was immensely proud of him, especially because he's named "Heart" after the guy from Fist of the North Star who famously takes a shitload of hits and dies, and he did not do that. Good boy, Heart.

Oh no! He's a Snorlax now, I'm just only on the second island so it's a recent change.

Friends will show up in your Plaza along with the mess of other people who show up there, add them to your VIP list and they'll always be there, and you can choose to link trade them

It's a little awkward though, imo.

so I find myself gravitating toward pokemon that I'm familiar with

i've done a few trials and i'm about level 30. what are pokemon that may be newer that are pretty good that I could try

I'm really wanting a decent fire type, water type, or electric type

right now I've got evolved grass starter, snorlax, kadabra, eevee, magmy, and something else

Salazzle feels like it's basically stuck with life orb or choice specs in order to present a credible threat. Probably better off with the specs. Were you finding that even with that it was not capable of providing a sufficient threat?

Yeah Salazzle strikes me as a lot like Heliolisk; her time in the meta might come but it is not this early. No one knows what she's any good at, and with so many threats carrying Earthquake it seems like she's just...not gonna find a niche anywhere higher than RU (or NU, whichever is higher). MAYBE UU if she's lucky.

Wouldn't necessarily require a rare candy. Could also be triggered by leveling up in a trainer battle and then subsequently fainting.

I'm getting really, really glad that the game vomits free healing items and pokeballs at you, because I go broke from fashion on each new island.

Also, I'm surprised at how much dancebird is pulling its weight. I originally put it on my team as filler until something cooler came along, but now I think I'll keep it. :3:

They're on the tail end of a year of giving you (almost?) every event legendary for free in gamestop/wi-fi events, you just have bad timing.

Since the giveaways are so recent you might have less trouble finding someone willing to give you one, at least.

e: Also, if you want to add a 3DS friend to your plaza, go in the castle and talk to the pager NPC(back left). You can scroll to your friends list and pick from there, instead of hoping your friend shows up randomly.

e: and yes I believe every single legendary has been given out this year, except one: I started caring in June and I got everything but loving Diancie, which was in 2015 and hasn't gotten a second round unlike Hoopa.
