I feel sorta bad that I'm using the In-game trade pokemon to carry my team through the game. Otoh, the Tsareena and Machoke make perfect teammates for my Incineroar's wrestling team

I put xurcitree on this team specifically to gently caress with toxapex but every team that's had one has just let me trap it with the bird

when they burn me or start stockpiling I just spam leaf blade until it crits and ohko's

I have roost as the last move but I'm really tempted to just run adamant and give it sucker punch in that slot just to have something for it to do with those boosts afterward

In the post game, Lunala will have a use.

During day in moon, you can go to the Altar of the Moone and travel to the Alternate Dimension. If you have a Solgaleo you can do it at night too.

You wouldn't happen to have one of these HA vulpixs in a dive ball would you? If not could you specify how you caught the first so i can do it on my own run through? When pokebank comes through I can make it up to you, I got a lot of shinys saved up.

That's what legendaries have always been like: hard to catch, then you just keep them in a box forever.

Go to where the Vulpixes are (third island, snowy area, can't miss it), get one low, and keep killing the help it calls. Eventually it calls for help with a HA and thankfully for that specific ability it's easy.

<click> <click> What is it with this dancing?! Bouncing around like fools... I would have thought my own kind at least would understand the seriousness of our Adventurer's Guild!

Hello, thread. I left for a while to avoid spoilers but now that I've caught the "third legendary" and completed the rest of the post-game story-related stuff I'm back to talk about the game. It was amazing. I started with Rowlet, as is tradition. I ended up catching seven more Pokémon that I used on my team interchangeably, including friends like Ribombee, Lurantis, and Wishiwashi. Toggled EXP Share between on and off as I felt it was appropriate. Ended up getting terribly wrecked in so many battles, the difficulty always seemed consistent the way I played through it. The huge increase in levels between island 3 and island 4 got me good. A lot of legit surprises too, some of the new but unrevealed Pokémon really interested me.

I have a living Pokédex in my Bank already, so first priority is going to be shoring that up. But I see that I'm going to need either some good friends or uncaring people in order to get duplicates of Type: Null, Cosmog, and Cosmoen/Lunala. I was hoping that wouldn't be the case, but oh well, I'll make it. That'll be something to worry about later. I'm using a Kartana as my dedicated False Swiper for now, and I'm gonna go around catching everything I need. I'd also like to complete the Pokédex naturally, just as something to do before the Bank actually drops.

I was legitimately impressed that Bounsweet's line was not just a throwaway grass type.

When I play and don't pick Rowlet I am definitely gonna have a grass-type spot for her.

Yeah, it "takes" two playthroughts, because you get two Cosmogs out of the four you need and of course the box legendary and also there are two Zygarde Formes if you care.

Yes. It had a 4.5 Catch Rate. Took five beast balls (Two resets, and I have two beast balls and a Smeargle designed explicitly to catch pokemon)
