The first time you face it you can knock it out then fight it right away when you gain control again. Any time you knock it out after that you have to fight the e4 for it to respawn.

Do the chances for HA increase as the chain continues, if the chain is not always the same Pokemon? I'm attempting to get a Gooey Goomy and in two hours, I saw a grand total of six Goomy and about 40 Fearow from the same chain on Route 17. I had to give up after a while because it was so late at night.

I'm taking a break from the story to breed some starters to through out on Wonder Trade. Dropping Rowlets named after American actors and Cyndaquils with French names. Everyone deserves to have many good friends!

I bet they'll give out more johto balls as rewards for participating in global missions. Not doing that or something similar would just be too silly, even for GF.

Maybe the snorlium-z or whatever from the event munchlax? I'm not 100% on how mystery gifts work, so might be a good idea to look into that if you care about pulverizing pancake access.

Nope! Or at least I don't think so--either that rumour is false or there's some other weird requirement like "it needs to be adjacent to a maxed johto tent" that nobody has figured out yet.

Don't!! I just want these things to be as well traded as possible so nobody has to waste their time like I did. ;)

Seriously, I was so used to seeing the ball shake three times and then pop open that I genuinely questioned what I was seeing when it finally caught.

Post-game only. Once you've hatched 20 eggs, a guy hanging around the battle tree will upgrade your PC with IV--judging

Post game. The NPC who installs that function on the PC is at the Battle Tree, and to unlock it, you need to have hatched 20 eggs.

All the gen 6 guides should continue to work. The only difference I'm aware of is that a male now has a chance to pass down the ball its caught in.

I think they might have tweaked the ability inheritance odds in the player's favor, but I can't prove that - just that I hatched a bunch more Synchronize Abras than I was expecting.

You can buy both with BP. This isn't as much of a catch-22 as the Ev-boosting items are, as IVs are pretty meaningless in the battle tree/battle royal. Destiny Knots are also available from pokemon with pickup, and everstones are in poke pelago and I think you get one for free.

Hyper training is completely not worth it except for legendaries/UBs. If it's breedable, it's faster to breed for IVs than to hyper train.

Breeding for IVs is worth it imo, if you want to do any PVP. Even if you're not willing to do the full time investment, at least breed for max speed.

Everstones are held by wild Roggenrolas and Boldores pretty commonly.

Destiny Knots can be acquired from pickup. Not sure where else they can be found?
