Is using drizzle a bad way to try to get the rain only spawns? Will it ever randomly rain in these places? Will it predictably rain in these places?

I thought I would step from the chaining slowpoke to the slowbro like maybe slowbro would call more slowbros but after eight turns he wouldn't call for help and a second adrenaline orb did nothing so I guess you can't do that?

Farming a king's rock is extremely loving awful right now!

In XY only naturally occurring rain triggered Sliggoo's evolution. Rain Dance and Drizzle would not. Might be the same for spawning rain-dependent mons in SM.

It's an artifact from the RBY days where the game was so massive and haphazardly programmed they could only fit one save slot, plus it encouraged people to buy their own copy if they wanted to play.

Just beat the electric trial. I love how they kinda fake you out with how the trials are gonna go, with the first one being just oh hunt down these lovely pokemon until the door to the totem opens, and then the water one is a bit more involved, with amusing NPC interactions, and then by the fire one all bets are off and they're just very funny and entertaining while still maintaining the general gist of beating up some lovely pokemons until the big one shows up

To be fair, since like Gen 3 or 4 they filled that space with a back up of your last save in case things went to poo poo. They probably have room for 2* that on 3DS though, especially with SD cards.

High Horsepower is a super lame signature move but at least it ignores Grassy Terrain. It should be 80 power with a self heal or lower Special Attack

I'm reading the serebii tables and it seems to suggest in the rain it just naturally starts off you're fighting a slowbro or poliwhirl, where if I chain for 20 minutes I get to see one. I mean it works it just sucks rear end.

The poliwhirl I eventually summoned, and the slowbro, both, did not have a king's rock. Compound eyes might have to be the pokemon that observes the new guy come in to work. I have conflicting reports but by loving sheer happenstance butterfree was out when the slowbro finally came out and it didn't work.

You can teach him Steel Wing so a Fairy type is no longer "Welp, we're gonna be here a while" for me.

Why is it no one on the Forums but me goes to Walmart/Target/Best Buy for games? They always get a shitload of stock for big releases and the time you spend walking to the back balances out since they don't try to upsell you on future preorders/Game Informer/trading your games in.

Go to big box stores, dog

The digital downside is Nintendon't do digital very well and it's a hassle to save your games if your 3DS dies or is stolen or w/e, but other than that and the game taking up like 3 GB, nah, go for it

Is there something about using the Dash on lapras that makes rippling spots dissapear? Because this is like the 15th time I've gone up to one only to have it disappear.

Also, i caught my first shiny that wasn't a red garydos, it was a shiny slowpoke. So now I have no idea what to evolve my off color poke into.

They also disappear if you're running by them on land. They're the new rustling spots and going fast makes them disappear.

Should I go for Dazzling or Wonder Skin on a Bruxish? This is for doubles, if it helps. I can see Dazzling being useful to avoid fake outs and other common priority moves, but Wonder Skin can't be discounted for sheer annoyance.

Bruxish is actually pretty cool, if you haven't considered one yet. The ability to stop priority combined with a priority move of its own in Aqua Jet, a signature move that destroys screens and clocks in at a respectable 85 BP, and it can even set trick room if that's something you're into. Plus, it's fabulous.

it's incredibly frustrating that there's no way to track which Zygarde cells you've picked up--I'm going through a serebii guide and it's really annoying to go to stops you've already been

Anyone without a guide would not be able to get 100% Zygarde
