I really do want to use Type: Null/Silvally at some point. But if you can't get it until the post-game and they can't breed. Solumin fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Nov 28, 2016 |

I somehow ended up with way too many physical attackers. My team right now includes Lycanroc, Minior, Golem, Mudsdale, Lurantis, Araquanid, Golisopod, Incineroar, Dugtrio, Raticate, Persian, Komala, and one or two others... while for special attackers I have Salazzle, Kadabra, and freaking Pelipper. Where did I go wrong? What have I missed? I feel like I'm pretty far, currently making my way through Po Town.

Finally reached the fourth island, having a ton of fun still Golisopod is a monster and carries my team, Minior is finally becoming really useful, Mimikyu is fun Decidueye is the ultimate decider though, Sinister Arrow Raid has yet to not one-shot anything it has hit, then again he's level 61 Rowlet is the coolest starter

I'm still pretty early in the game and I beat the first kahuna. Then I went around the island with Tauros smashing boulders and collecting items. (spoilers for new players) Then I ran into a lady and her Machamp at the cemetery. I did not expect a story about her husband dying in an accident. It's surprising to see a Pokemon game talk about dealing with death and emotions so frankly. Also, Wonder Trade finally paid off. It was mostly an endless stream of Rattatas and Zubats, and then I got a Popplio and a Pheromosa.  My in-game team right now: Dartrix, Pikipek, Slowpoke, Geodude, Grimer, and Jangmo-o. I got everything set up early thanks to GTS. This probably won't change but we'll see! guts and bolts posted:Rowlet is the coolest starter  When was the last time we had such a good Grass starter?

Where did I go wrong? What have I missed? I feel like I'm pretty far, currently making my way through Po Town. There's like 4 or 5 dedicated special attacker lines among the new pokemon. Two of them are Primarina, a starter, and Drampa, a Moon exclusive. (I say "dedicated" because there are a few lines, like Rowlet, whose attack and special attack are almost the same but they learn few special moves by level up.) Expanding the scope to the whole Alola Pokedex gives you maybe 10 lines total. A lot of the new pokemon are incredibly strong physical attackers. I don't know what Game Freak was thinking with this distribution. It also seems like the new physical attackers all have >100 Attack, while the new Special Attackers are much lower.

I really like it and I honestly think it's healthy, so props to GF.

Senerio posted:My Decidueye has been kinda underwhelming every time, dying really hard whenever she got sent out, and always going second. Decidueye is slow as all hell to begin with. Even with max speed EVs it has garbage speed On an unrelated note, I've got two questions for more seasoned Battle Spot/Showdown/VGC players: - Is there any way to reset my Battle Spot ranking back to 1500? I've been on an awful, awful, awful run (and trying gimmicky poo poo in ratings battles) lately on top of my not being very good to begin with and I'm down to 1330 and I'm not getting fast matches anymore since I think it tries to match you around your anking - This is probably super elementary but what's the best way to counter Trick Room if you don't have your own Trick Room setter? By that I mean if the lead is Oranguru and Marowak I know I have to stop Oranguru somehow but if you can't OHKO or 2HKO the Trick Room setter do you just have to fuckin' deal?

Does anyone know when the soonest you can get Vulpix is? The pokedex is making it look like it's stuck in the mountainous area where the league is going to be and I'm probably not going to be able to get to 'til way later, but I did just pick up an Ice Stone in Po Town so...

It learns Ice Beam then, and Blizzard at 42. (Blizzard is only useful if you have the HA one, though) Only learns one move as a Ninetales, and that's Dazzling Gleam when it first evolves.

I waded through 600-700 aborted Staryus to get a shiny for nearly 4 straight days in ORAS (sunk cost fallacy) and then I get a shiny Hawlucha in barely 50. I was doubting that the Masuda method was actually being applied because of a funky setup I have going, but evidently I was mistaken. Got a Timid black Charizard on the cheap on GTS too so hopefully I'm done with the loop of egg hell until my copy of Moon arrives in Dec

Athena was the name of my Noctowl who was the MVP of my HG team. That was a fun one because I researched mythology extensively for all the nicknames I did. Athena was easy though.

At that point I was also using Ribombee and Pallosand, and a Toxapex whose only offensive move was Venoshock. You can also pick up Vulpix (in Sun) and Snorunt in the town before Po Town.
