Nothing exciting to see here. Move along.
Just got through the Aether Foundation, second time, and am currently starting on the last island of Alola. Man, Guzma does not gently caress around in his rematch on the Aether Foundation base: he was so close to utterly annihilating my team of Pokémon that were almost all 10 or more levels above his (and actually did kill my two primary Bug Pokémon wreckers) purely thanks to his Golisopod and I eventually just went with my already EV-trained Zygarde-50% purely because it was the only thing actually tanking the hits of the drat thing. It was kind of a wake-up compared to Aether Foundation grunts and Faba and the Team Skull Grunts accompanying him. Compared to that, Lusamine was actually a bit easier to deal with despite having a team of five, very strong Pokémon of different types and roles and a couple levels higher than Guzma's. Can't shake the feeling that I'm going to be dealing with a harder Lusamine down the line, especially since she and Guzma kind of skedaddled and it's obvious that I have not seen the last of them.

I don't have a Barboach, Sableye, Sandshrew, Shellder, Staryu, Vanillish, or oddly enough, Weedle. If you can trade one of those, I would appreciate it, otherwise, anything is fine!

I can explain the last one: Weedle isn't in the Aloladex.

Thank you Chill Penguin! Ennakointi means "anticipation" in Finnish, Anticipation being the HA for Eevee.

Thanks! It will become a powerful Espeon... speaking of which: day/night evolutions go off the in-game condition, right? So, since I'm playing Moon, it's currently nighttime, in which case Eevee would become Umbreon, right?

Are there any in-game consequences for changing the 3DS's clock? I noticed mine is still in Daylight Savings time and want to correct it but since the game uses the clock I'm not sure what it'll do if it thinks I'm trying to cheat.

You're locked out of daily stuff for a day, or at least the Festival Plaza lotteries and game tickets wait for the midnight after 24 hours have passed to reset. That's all I noticed when I fixed my own DST.

They do, but by default you only start with a generic NPC breeder partner outside of the local multiplayer aspect. You gain other NPC options by paying 10BP to "scout" the named characters as they show up during singles and doubles.

I should add that the starting partner is basically hard mode. Her team is Barbaracle and Hawlucha and sometimes they won't even get a move off before getting dumpstered. All battles will become 2v1 against you or worse.

She'll stumble across a Mew, then Mewtwo, then a literal mountain of Mewtwonite, in that order. She'll travel with them and not choose any of them as a starter.

I got a good Rowlet factory going on now from brother and sister Rowlets Noctowl and Nocturne. Should be useful in gts, though I don't have any idea of their IVs or natures.

I've been running with a Ninetales with backup Toxapex and the starting partner has worked phenomenally. Once aurora veil is up, the only thing Barbaracle really has to worry about is grass attacks and it can shell smash to its hearts content. The hawlucha soloed 3/4 pokemon when i hit Cynthia and Wally after i got caught in her garchomps earthquakes (Which also wrecked wallys magnezone and gallade lmao)

are people seriously still getting legendaries for castforms? I bred up a big pile to round out the annoying corners of the pokedex (fishing, mostly) and it looked like castforms were super saturated looking for UBs and cover legendaries

Guess I'll throw one up for a moon UB when I get home from work and hope for the best then.

Once my pokemon are at max hearts how often do I need to pet them to maintain that? Also, I still need help filling my team

Primarina
Charjabug
Lycanroc
Smeargle (Just so he can be really high level when I go for the living dex)

So, two slots open. I'm thinking maybe Sandygast and whatever he evolves into because he's rad as hell.

Once they're maxed you never need to pet them again to maintain.
