These UBs just don't want to show up :( I accidentally killed one (how was I supposed to guess the bamboo monster was weak to ELECTRIC of all things?!) and now I've been walking around in both areas where it's supposed to spawn for like 20 minutes with nothing but regular ol random encounters. Is it supposed to take this long or do I have to do something to "reset" it?

I found rezoning helped when I had to kill a UB, but I don't know for sure. Worth a shot. Is tense music still playing in the overworld?

The music was playing the entire time, yeah. Turns out I was just unlucky I guess, because after like 30 minutes it finally appeared again (and I caught it).

Speaking of rare Pokémon, I heard that you get Magearna from a QR code so on a whim I googled it and uh... now I have a Magearna I guess?? She's very cute and I named her Maggie. :3:

I think it's probably because I have a Japanese 3DS, since it has already been released in Japan. The QR code looked like someone had taken a photo of it, and I'm honestly surprised it worked!

e: Unrelated, but I really like a couple of the UBs. Nihilego is a cutie, Pheromosa is kinda cool in a freaky way (I'm not a fan of bugs) and Celesteela is.. something. The cable spaghetti jazz hands is also pretty neat, although I don't like the trash compactor mon.

Anyone got any good nickname ideas for Nihilego and Pheromosa?

It's a little weird yeah, but basically you connect to the internet and you can talk to people whose names are red and then if you show them a shop that they want (it's a total crapshoot in my experience whether they like it or not) you get Festival Coins

Festival coins can be used to do things like: dye clothes colours not available in the shops, buy items for leveling, buy items for competitive training and play minigames

It seems like half thought-out at best. I'd rather they have put in a real money shop of some kind for like, alternative skins for pokes or clothes or pokeballs or something.

Unless I'm missing something, the Festival Plaza is basically textboxes forever until eternity. Want to see if someone has a shop you're interested in? Better be prepared to press A something like 20 times (and of course 90% offer Thump Bump Land★) I don't understand the minigames either, because some people manage to get 20+ answers in Type Matchup and I can barely get 17 if I answer everything correctly. All the time is spent mashing A through textbox after textbox after textbox.

I got my first shiny, and it's a Cotonnee :kimchi:

Not my favorite shiny (shiny Whimsicott is p. spooky) and I've been breeding literally hundreds of Pichus and Komalas in the hopes of getting one of those but... still! This has only strengthened my resolve, I'm going to breed thousands of Pokémon in this game and I will get my beautiful shinies!

I got the same feeling from Join Avenue back in generation 5. The dialog feels so stiff and unwieldy, like it was directly translated and not localized. It stands out badly compared to the rest of the game.

I primarily use it to order clothing I can't normally buy in my version.

One good thing is I managed to get a dye shop that will dye my white clothes pink, but it's 100 FC and it seems ridiculously slow to get any FC at all.

Festival Plaza would be three times better if every visitor could do something to give you FC, rather than having to search for the, like, two in the crowd that actually have any reason to be there.

I'd still prefer Join Avenue but I might have ever bothered actually engaging with it.

When you reach rank 3 you unlock Festival Games and you get 3 tickets a day and use those to host minigames that anyone online can join you (And you can join theirs) and you get poo poo tons of FC.

I think the point is that it's pretty dumb and grindy to gate content behind ten minutes of running around in a circle mashing the A button to get through text boxes

Let me pay real money for FC for fucks sake

Sleep lasts from 2-5 turns, it does not come down upon damage

The quests that ask you to find people who speak a certain language or type match ups give you like 100+ if you're fast. You can use the mission tickets the dancer lady gives you or just tap on the red banner above the giant trade button when it's running.

Also a name for Nihilego Lillie :v:

Nah, you can bop sleeping enemies and they'll still stay sleeping. They just have a random chance to wake up. Sometimes it's the turn after they get put to sleep and sometimes it's like four turns later.

It also has the biggest multiplier to catch rates.

Ok So I have a Butterfree that hit 13. So far I gave is Stun and Poison Powder. The other two moves are Gust and Confusion. I kind of want to keep those two so which powder move do I keep?

It's probably too late to help you now, but you can use repels while UB hunting.
