anything you have in gen 5 or 6 you'll be able to get in... january, i think? when the pokemon bank gets updated. gen 1 support will be added too.

ok well at least that seems like a huge amount of the pokemon then, hopefully they'll do those event legendaries again

also wowzers, I just realized what a pain its going to be to get pokemon from old games

are most of the pokemon in relatively recent games? I guess old event legendaries are basically lost to me forever too

Once Pokemon Bank updates in January, it's going to be super easy to get everything from XY/ORAS into SM. I think that leaves only certain event-only pokemon that are unobtainable between SM and the Gen 6 games.

If you've got sentimental value attached to certain old mons, you can still move it over, you just have to jump through hoops to do so because every inter-gen pokemon transferring method until Pokebank was stupid (and anything from gen 2 and earlier you're locked out from forever)

It's one of my best friends. It learns a bunch of 80-90 BP moves, though coverage is sort of thin. I think it's one of my favorite new pokemon.

rimbombee was pretty much my MVP, she's decently strong and ridiculously fast, gets a 90 BP bug move as soon as she evolves and eventually picks up quiver dance + dazzling gleam plus a handful of good support moves (stun spore, aromatherapy)

she also gets energy ball via TM if you're not carrying a grass type like my dumb rear end

Has anyone had any luck getting a Castform yet? I snagged Goomy in the rain in front of Po Town, but I've tried SOS chaining in other weather areas and still no sign of Castform.

When you get the Bugnium Z from the Team Skull Mansion, there really needed to be just some random grunt show up, do the pose, and leave. Same for all of the Z-Crystals.

Also, is it just me, or did they nerf the Pokemon-Amie/Refresh bonuses? Because my entire team is at max affection except for Zydog, and they aren't constantly landing critical hits like in X/Y. It's a good change, don't get me wrong, X/Y's endgame was an exercise in pointing my team at any trainer and then winning.

Is experienced shared with the Exp. Share scaled to the level of the active monster in your party? In other words, if I'm rolling over every fight with my starter, is the reduced experience from his relatively high level affecting the amount of experienced distributed to the rest of my team?

For pokemon that require trades to evolve into their final form, do they stop learning moves in Pokemon Sun once they evolve?

I traded my Kadabra as soon as he evolved so I can get Alakazam for the stat boosts and my friend told me he won't learn moves anymore. Is this true?

It varies from pokemon to pokemon but in Kadabra's case, no, it learns the same moves at the same levels once you evolve it to Alakazam.

weird fact about Thousand Arrows: it's a ground move that hits flying types and levitating mons, but when it hits one of those two types it hits as Neutral effectiveness regardless of the second type if it has one. so hitting a Zapdos or Skarmory with Thousand Arrows it'll be 1x effective rather than 2x. similarly hitting a Mega Pinsir will be 1x effective instead of .5x (since bug resists ground)

weird fact about Thousand Arrows #2: after the first hit against a flyer it applies the Smack Down debuff, so any hits AFTER the first will then consider the secondary type, meaning Zapdos/etc. take 2x damage.
