It depends on the day of the week and island you're on. There's only gen 2 and 5 starters.

I think I'll add Araquanid to my team cause apparently its Water Bubble ability is overpowered as gently caress (It doubles water move power BEFORE STAB).

This game is so tight and they've refined so much of the ancillary mechanics over the years that I finally did it...I googled what EVs are and what natures mean. This is a dark road

Good luck. If you get a dad with modest, give him an everstone and all of his kids should be modest too.

I couldn't even find a female one in the wild. I put a male and a ditto together but idk if that actually works

Rustys guide to getting abras of every nature (theoretical because I assume breeding works the same as OR/AS):

1. Get a pokemon with Flame Body or Magma Armor ability (fletchinder on route 8 or level up a fletchling)

2. Get a Friendly Goon to trade you any male abra (optional but breeding pokemon from different trainers gives eggs faster)

3. Catch a female abra with Synchronize (females have 80% chance of passing down their ability)

4. Breed thise two bad boys, run around and hatch all the eggs with your flame body pokemon on your team. Good luck.

I like my team a lot right now and I'm only on island 3. I don't think I'm going to swap any of them out. Once I beat the game though... The Endless Breed begins yet again.

I'm like halfway there. I wanted a cool ghost type and mimikyu is perfect, and I'll probably drop my starter but I have a personal promise to never do that until I've beaten the game

I understand that they're making affection have more of an impact on the actual game but it's mildly weird when Pokemon glance at the screen and are like "Charjabug is thinking about the first time you met..."
