All right, first batch of Calm Regenerator Haze Beast Ball Mareanies is done! They all have 31 IV in Defense and Special Defense, some have some atk and/or spatk 31s, some have ~27-30 HP and/or speed. I figured two perfects and the right ball and egg move and nature and Hidden Ability was sufficient. (Plus I kept the two best ones for future parents.)

Thank you! My collection just became a little more awesome.

(I can also immediately breed the eggexcute for DACK FAYDEN if he's interested since it seems I might be stealing it from him)

For some reason I thought I'd already traded you the Paras and you just wanted something better than the Vanillite. :sweatdrop:

Thanks for the Goomy! The one I got is maxed in Attack and Speed, Very Good in Sp. Attack, Pretty good in Sp. Defense and Decent HP.

Finally got some battle spot time in, and here my thoughts on the team I haphazardly put together with no thoughts to synergy.

Underperformers:
Pheromosa--I suspect she's just worse in 3v3 than 6v6. She doesn't have the bulk to push through her bad matchups like more traditional sweepers can
Mega-Salamence--Just use Garchomp

Overperformers:
Garchomp--<3
Primarina--water/ice/fairy is incredible coverage and she hits like a goddamn truck. No speed but a lot of special bulk, and reflect to help out on the physical side

Not sure yet:
Celesteela--Just haven't deployed it enough to really have an opinion yet
Nihilego--When it's good, it's good, but its type coverage is utter crap. I've seen some people giving it a Z-crystal to help with getting that crucial first beast boost, which might be better than using specs like I am

So far I have Primarina, Alolan Marowak, Golisopod, Minior, and Bewear, looking for a good buddy to occupy the 6th spot. Am I missing any important coverages? Glaring weaknesses? I feel like I need another good special attacker so I don't get totally blocked by physical walls but right now I'm drawing a blank.

Interesting! I'd actually forgotten that Destiny Knots only transfer over 3 IVs (not all 6) so I guess I'll have no real way of confirming perfect pokebabies until I clear the game. As tyblazitar only got two perfect IVs that means the Shiny Ditto is not totally perfect but is still :perfect: to me.

The Goomy I got from you was 31/31/~18ish/31/31/31 so that Ditto probably is maxed out.

It feels like most of the new mons are physical attackers.Notable exceptions include Vikavolt and Alazzle, and probably some others I'm forgetting.

Keep rolling, rolling
I'm starting up my Moon run and wanted to trade over some of my babies from Sun - you know, throw up early route trash mons and ask for a good one in return, then go to the other game and try to trade with myself from there.

But I'm not showing up as a potential trade partner about 75% of the time. It's kind of bumming me out.

Side note - when you trade with yourself, the avatar that shows up in the castle is identical to the one you're using in that game, not the one you traded from. So my Moon avatar gave my Moon avatar friend coins.

Yeah, they transfer 5. But it's 5IVs randomly selected for both parents.

Got my mind on doritos and doritos on my mind.
What is the goon consensus on sun and moon so far? I've played the game for about 6-7 hours and have made it to the second island, but I don't know how much I enjoy it so far. I think I prefer several things from ORAS including the storyline/gym style of play. It also seems like this game is way too slow compared to previous generations. I also really liked the dexnav and thought that was a really nice feature so I'm surprised they got rid of it. I mean I guess change is okay but there is like no way I would ever replay a game like this based on how slow the beginning of this game is.

I'd say this one is more like four steps forward, since it really is a vast improvement in a lot of ways... but if the ORAS team was involved in it they sure as hell didn't push hard enough to make it show.

I'm on Exeggutor island, it is raining, I have used an adrenaline orb, and I'm killing each exeggcute after it calls for help, then killing the next one after it calls for help

Am I doing this right? I should see a castform at some point, right?
