I feel like scald should be super effective against ice-type pokemon, like how freeze-dry is super effective against water-types.

I also don't like that the Pledge moves are locked behind an arbitrary happiness number still, cause they're real useful moves and like double the power of my Brionne's Water Gun. Least in XY and ORAS your starter liked you enough that you could get the move by the time you reached where they were, but not in this game! Guess I'll check again after I get Fly.

No no no no no! It's already a strong enough move as it is, and Ice does not need another defensive weakness.

you can get scald in the 2nd trial area and brionne will still not know a useful water move until then

I ran out of every good ball and then ended up catching it in a random Friend Ball I had stashed away somewhere. So if you just believe you can do it!!

Where is this Horsea on Melemele Island? It says it's in the bay area past the cave, but there are literally three different ways to catch 'mons here. :psyduck:

You were right! I took somewhere close to 50 Pokéballs at 1 health while sleeping, but I finally caught him (in a regular ol' Pokéball) :D

InferiorDhelmise.

Sure you can't get Dhelmise till near endgame, but it's the superior Grass/Ghost pokemon (also gets bonus STAB for steel) and its signature move is a 80 attack power Mean Look.

Probably something Bug or Fighting since you'll have a couple of ghosts. Going for a Wimpod (the evo's cool) or Dewpider would fit nicely.

So is it possible to run through the game grabbing the unique items and legendaries, send them to the uh, pokebank, and then reset the game for duplicates? How long from starter mon -> pokebank access? It'd be neat to have all 3 starters on a playthrough.

choose your own horror isekai sci-fi Souls-like urban fantasy gamer simulator adventure

or don't?
Sometimes people in Festival Plaza will start trading me piles of their good Pokemon for piles of my bad Pokemon, and I don't know why

I don't even know these people, why are they okaying these trades

I can't just not take your Gengar, though, that would be silly

The faster way is to rush the first island, making sure to grab a male that can breed with it and then not far into the second island you'll hit the nursery where you can breed a box of trade fodder for the other starters/ditto/etc.

Do you mean Megas? You can get those from the Battle Tree's BP shop for like 64 BP each, or from various other places, depending on the stone. Bank wouldn't help you get mega stones up to Gen 7 since items aren't allowed to travel through Bank anyway.
