Okay guys, a little general pokemon help from those more in the know; Should I level up my Pokemon as soon as possible? I got a pretty dope charjabug, but Poni Poni island where he evolves is quite a bit away for me. Should I put him in a box so he doesn't level up then when I get there put him in my party so he can evolve and get more levels in in his evolved form? The way I understand it, when a Pokémon in its second evolution levels up it gets +2 in a stat whereas a Pokemon in its third and final stage gets +3. Is that correct? In general, if I can't evolve a Pokemon should I hold off on levelling them up until I can?

Calico Heart posted:Okay guys, a little general pokemon help from those more in the know; Actually, from a technical standpoint, it's normally better to level up without evolving, since you learn moves earlier at lower evolutions. Though this doesn't tend to apply for cases like Charjabug. You don't usually really lose anything for evolving at a later level as opposed to an earlier level, but you can potentially lose out on moves for doing the reverse. Of course, there's exceptions on the other side too; later evolutions can learn moves earlier evolutions can't, and if you don't evolve by the level they learn it at, they miss them, but those can be recovered with the Move Relearner, whereas moves only learned by earlier evolutions can't. The stats you mentioned happen regardless of when you actually evolve.

Can you get the other starters easily or do you need to restart? I kinda want a fire kitty but I'm at the first gym and didn't think of reset trading until now.

No that's not how it works at all. Pokemon takes a completely different approach to stats -- you're thinking of something like a Final Fantasy game. A Pokemon's stats are calculated from a few numbers: their base stats (determined by their species), EVs (gained in battle), IVs (intrinsic to each individual pokemon), Nature (+10%/-10% to two stats) and Level. If any of these numbers change, the stat is recalculated. When a Pokemon evolves, their stats are now calculated using the base stat of their new species. For example, Charjabug has pretty low base Special Attack (55) so that stat will always be pretty low. But Vikavolt, its evolved form, has 145 base Special Attack. When your Charjabug evolves, its Special Attack will suddenly be much higher! It doesn't matter how many levels it spent as a Charjabug. So yes, level up your pokemon as soon as possible. Charjabug is pretty strong for a second-stage pokemon, and mine was crucial for several fights throughout the game.

Calico Heart posted:Okay guys, a little general pokemon help from those more in the know; There is no stat difference between a Pokemon that waited until level 99 to evolve and a Pokemon that evolved immediately, in and of itself. A given Pokemon of a given species at a given level always has the same stats, the only thing that changes those stats is EVs, IVs, and Nature.

According to the QR code/island scan list, Togekiss is Tuesday's spawn for Poni Island. So in less than 24 hours you have a shot of getting one yourself. Can you SOS chain island scan Pokemon tho? I've been in such a rush to catch them that I haven't bothered to find out. Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Nov 28, 2016 |

This is probably not a simple question but how do nature, characteristic, EVs and IVs relate? I thought IVs were the ones you changed by fighting with certain items equipped.

You're assuming he still have a Love Ball. You only get one, after all. Which actually makes this sound like it'd suck hard unless you already have a Togekiss, due to how the love ball works. And no, you can't chain them. Unfortunately.

I thought IVs were the ones you changed by fighting with certain items equipped. - IVs (Individual Values) are set when a Pokemon is caught or hatched. You can't change them, except through the Hyper Training in S/M. They range from 0 to 31. - Characteristics are a clue to the value of the Pokemon's highest IV. It's kind of useless. - EVs are gained in battle, and certain items increase how many you get. They range from 0 to 252. Every 4 EVs in a stat increasing that stat by 1 at level 100. - Nature gives a 10% boost to one stat and 10% penalty to another.

Other way around. IVs (Individual Values) are set in stone at birth or when caught and range from 0 to 31. In Gen 7, you can adjust effective IVs through Hyper Training at level 100. EVs (Effort Values) are accumulated through battling or PokePelago. A Pokemon can have a total of 510 EVs, with a maximum of 252 in a single stat. Nature is a 10% bonus to one stat and 10% penalty to another stat. Characteristic is meaningless, it's just a vague indicator of IVs.

Man people love Sandshrew. Managed to get pretty much every single Sun-exclusive except legendaries by just putting up the lil' guy on the GTS. Speaking of which how do you get version-esclusive legendaries without putting up legendaries of your own? They can't breed, right?

It's supposed to encourage trade and socializing. It helps that you get multiple of the UB's. Before you were always stuck trading your single legendary for the other single legendary, or else getting lucky with crazy people on the GTS offering their version legendary for random crap.

I think the best way to look at it is that a pokemon has certain basic stats (determined by EVs, IVs, species, etc), and level is simply a multiplier on those stats. The act of leveling itself is almost totally irrelevant except for learning moves or meeting the level curve of the story.

RE not leveling Charjabug, specifically; if you don't want to use a heartscale, then evolving it into Vikavolt before level 31 lets it learn bug buzz. Other than that, throw an eviolite on it and ride that little battery hard.

I can't wait for Pokemon Bank in January, I want to do a lot more runs of Sun but I don't want to give up my current Pokemon. I'm thinking of doing a mono-grass run: - Lurantis (Grass) - Shiinotic (Grass/Fairy) - Tsareena (Grass) - Dhelmise (Ghost/Grass) - Exeggcutor (Grass/Dragon) - Pelipper??? (Water/Flying) [Drizzle] I'm not sure what to use for the last slot. Pelipper would be useful for shutting down Fire and Bug types, but it's not a Grass type. I wanted to use new Pokemon and Alola forms, too. And maybe I should swap out either Lurantis or Tsareena for something else, since they're both mono-grass Physical attackers. boy are my arms tired posted:this actually doesn't change the IV, it sets a flag to pretend the pokemon is at 31 IVs That's true, but I was trying to keep it simple.

Goodness, people really do like Castform. Managed to luck out and get one off the GTS for like a Clefable or something and I'm starting up an Ultra Beast collection already. Guessing that'll change after Bank gets updated so I'm gonna stock up on fancy things while I can. Got all the version exclusives at least. Also had a great mission of type-matchup. Ended up being with 100 people and almost hit 1000 answers. The numbers were just flying up.
