I'm breeding a male Limber one with a Ditto. Haha, with ditto males are weighted to give their ability over- to include HA. With females they are weighted to pass theirs over the males.

I've been chaining Pichu's in the hopes of getting a shiny so I can get a shiny A-Raichu which is the cutest thing ever... but I've killed several hundred now and I'm starting to feel bad

Blaziken386 posted:Friend of mine is currently trying for a shiny Bounsweet, and has killed around 150 in one chain. It's definitely an... interesting way of "targeting" shinies. I think I like it? At this point I'm gonna run out of PP restoring items though, RIP my chain. Unrelated question: I haven't actually gotten to the Move Relearner yet, so can someone tell me if he'll let me learn moves that my Pokémon would have learned had I not evolved them? For example, if I evolve a Pichu at level 12 will my Pikachu (or Raichu for that matter) ever be able to learn Nasty Plot?

Just grow Leppa berries in Pelago. You can get 6 per plot every 24 hours which adds up quick. And no, for the Move relearner. They can only learn moves on their levelup list so Pikachu/Raichu cannot learn Nasty Plot. The only change from prior gens is that if a mon learns a move at level 60 and its level 45 the relearner will let you get that move.

Well, I may as well keep going anyway until I get a Merciless one, then start breeding that whatever gender it winds up being. Will throw the spare Limber ones out in Wonder Trades, unless anyone wants some of my reject starfish babies.

Clarste posted:IVs are not stats, they're IVs. I don't know why this question was apparently so hard to answer. Because you're being super obtuse so let me put it the simplest possible terms. When using Bottle caps to increase IVs The pokemons initial IVs are kept as a snapshot for things like determining Hidden Power Type and Passing on IVs for breeding and then the stats are raised to where they would be if their corresponding IV were 31.

I asked a simple question and Fetus answered in the most useless way possible, as if I only cared about breeding and Hidden Power instead of being a casual noob who doesn't know anything about this game and wants to keep using my best friend I captured on route 1 but would like him to have better stats. The answers were all directed at a min-maxing competitive player, which I am clearly not if I'm asking in the first place. In the meantime I looked it up on google and apparently you can only even do this on level 100 pokemon anyway, which means every single one of you has completely wasted my time by not mentioning this incredibly important fact.

If you're a super casual player nothing about stats matters at all and you can use any Pokémon you want for whatever.

If you happen to have Sun I wouldn't mind any Sun-exclusive thing in exchange, or another thing that's a pain to get, but I don't really mind whatever. FC is 3952-7007-7220, name is Dane or R.

Is there any way to get a pink Gastrodon in this game? It says they're colored by region so I assume that means we can't get anything other than blue until Poké Bank.

I have like a rainbow one, and the Pokedex calls it the "East Sea" form. Which implies to me it's regions within Alola, not the international Region.
