Only a handful of owls left!

No females remain, but the males have Destiny Knots all the same.

If you'd like one of these Rowlets for yourself, add me at 2337-8002-5560 and then send me a PM with your FC.

It makes it so if a Pokémon uses an attract type move on one holding it, both Pokémon get infatuated

Oh and it also makes it so 5 ivs get passed down to a baby Pokémon from the parents while breeding, but who cares about that

It's a hold item that's practically useless in battle, but when it's held by a pokemon that's being bred, the child will inherit five IVs from its parents instead of the usual three. It's incredibly useful for breeding high IV pokemon.

<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!

I've looked for Castform in the past but no dice. I tried to look on the same route that Goomy would show up in during the rain, is that not the proper way to do it? Just in any weather it might show up? Rain seems like the most harmless one to look in. I need one for my Pokedex, but if it's just a useful bargaining chip I would gladly start breeding a bunch.

Go to the battle buffet at the mall in the first town and you'll have ten turns to fight level 55 trainers with one pokemon each. Make sure you always go for the dishes that have "tall mountain of food". You can also fight the game freak director on the first floor of the dimensional lab (second island) once a day for the oval charm but his team is level 60 though.

Alright, so, science project.

I need to catch an Abra with the hidden ability Magic Guard.

Now, I can run Gastly to Mean Look the Abra, but if the Abra summons any buddies I have no way to tell if they have Magic Guard or not. A terrain hazard like Spikes could clarify who has Magic Guard, but Mean Look expires if you switch out the Pokemon that did the Mean Look.

So I need a Pokemon that can drop a terrain hazard (or something otherwise affected by Magic Guard) AND Mean Look. The search is not going well.

edit: I think Magic Guard might work on poison? I might be able to Toxic these drat Abras

The Goomy I picked up while trying for Gooey HA has four perfect IVs, along with low HP and a trash Sp.D, which is disappointing considering that's Goodra's speciality. This is according to Serebii's S/M IV calculator because I haven't cleared the game yet. Well, at least it's Sassy and I can throw an Assault Vest on it?

Blind Pokemon Moon Nuzlocke Attempt #3 Update:

I got to travel through a huge cavern and watch Lillie anime all over the place before being slapped in the face by another totem Pokemon and another large heaping dose of PLOT.

But no deaths during the entire gauntlet! The game has informed me the next step is the Pokemon League fight against the four Kahunas, so we'll see how that goes.

Always Smeargle.

Either Mean Look a wild Smeargle and switch your Smeargle in after it Sketches, or make your Gastly forget everything else and have a wild Ditto Transform into it and then switch your Smeargle in!

I'm about to breed a couple Beast Ball Goomy, with an attempt at either 4 or 6 perfect IVs, please let me know if you'd like one. Still looking for recommendations on the preferred nature(s). Also looking for suggestions on desirable egg moves, if any.

I would like one, although I am running out of nice stuff to offer in return. :( Don't suppose you want a HA Paras?

Checking Smogon, it seems that depending on the set there's a lot of viable natures for Goodra, and with the meta still not quite settled it's hard to say what the one optimal nature is I think.

Interesting! Well they will probably be Calm or Sassy then (perhaps Careful as well).

I will definitely take a HA Paras. I love those big ol bug eyes. Too bad the evolution is yucky.

Temperament is just an awful holdover from the dark days when you couldn't check IVs. It tells you something about the best IV of the Pokemon, but has no actual effect.
