Third island, there's a waste management plant north of the first town, and you can talk to an old guy.

That's what the festival plaza is for. Find people with Red rimmed glasses and compliment their fashion.

Restarted at the end of the third island because I wanted to go through the game with a better team and reroll for a better nature on my starter. :shepface:

Can't really explain how my mind works but I think I did the right thing.

Crabominable is such an awful Pokemon, even in game. Evolving did not help it at all.

Yeah, I was honestly very disappointed. Ice Punch was not good enough to make me keep the fucker around. It wasn't worth it.

Final town in the second island, so after 4th trial but before 2nd Kahuna. There's a shop that sells stones.

I believe you first find one... behind a truck in Akala somewhere.

But either way I know it's sold in Olivia's jewelry shop on the second island.

Lord knows I stuck up for Crabrawler when everyone was down on him for evolving too late to matter, but I'm kind of on that boat too. I fought through most of the game with him on my team (never even got to evolve him) and he was definitely a weak link.

His design is hands-down one of the best of the gen (his evo not so much) but power-wise he never stood out and they never did anything fun with his moveset. He really had the makings of a great single-stage Poke with decent stats but they just had to make him a mediocre pre-evo with an evo that comes too little too late. And ugly as sin, my god.

not having pokemon with priority moves in battle royale is so frustrating. the amount of pokemon living with just 1 hp left is killing me inside. I don't want to start breeding until I get the destiny knot, but that is 48 BP and you only get 1-2 BP per battle :negative:

His design is great. Mr Drunk has yet to make it out of the box for me.

I was pumped to be able to get Growlithe on the first island because he's my favorite even if I don't know how good he is.

Serebii lists it as banned in Battle Tree, they don't seem to have a Spot banlist but if it's shared, well, yeah.

I think people favor a defensive Arcanine for pvp stuff but in general Arcanine is a stalwart ally in the campaign

That's really stupid since breeding is on the second island, and dittos are on the third.

There's a 90% chance I never venture into online activities with Pokémon (got it for a few 8 hour flights and holiday downtime), so that is good news. Between my Rowlet bro and Arcanine I've already locked in 1/3 of my party for the whole game.

Anyone playing Moon who hasn't caught all their Pheromosas yet: Can you save one uncaught for me to trade you a Buzzwole or Kartana for, once I'm off work later this evening? Unsure which Nature I want on it (almost surely Naughty, but maybe Naive) but not worried about IVs because lol bottle caps etc.

So what are the best grinding spots for every EV? Somehow I feel that fighting these machokes that keep buffing and then dual chopping my ghost owl isn't the most efficient strat.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

It took me way too long to realize that the last person you wonder traded with will chill in the festival plaza castle. Talking to them gives you a little FC and then the standard guest options. It's how I picked up some sweet glasses :coal:

Good enough! Let me know what nature you want and whether you'd prefer Buzz or Kart.
