Also, what should I use my Master Ball on? I was thinking the electric guardian one since he seems cool as poo poo.
If you're going to use one of the Tapus in Battle Tree/online and like the way a Master Ball looks, go for it. Otherwise, eh, I just threw mine at Necrozma because I generally just toss it at the last legendary to save myself a fight.

I hate when you go to swap a pokemon out to breed a new type, but they lay an egg before you can get to the PC and to the counter.

How would I get a Smergle with

False Swpies
Soak
Thunderwave
SLEEP MOVE

I want one for capturing things. Specfically the Mimikyu in a Beast Ball

Sketch one of the dozens of Pokemon that learn it via HM OR Sketch the Hold Back on your Mystery Gift Snorlax for style-points.
Alomomola/Golduck/Psyduck or go with Pelipper if you have access to the Move Reminder late in the game
Pichu/Pikachu.
Spore? Paras. The ones at route 11 will have it.

This is the most first-world problem and I will confess that I get absolutely FURIOUS EVERY TIME. It's an embarrassment of riches.

e: also, Thunder Wave is a TM, don't catch something specifically for it unless somehow you have nothing in your box that learns it

The best way to sketch a move that a friendly pokemon knows is to SOS smeargle. Use adrenaline orb first turn, have the smeargle struggle. When it calls for help kill the first one with the move you want to use. the second smeargle will sketch then you're free to sketch from that one.

This is apparently true! Emerald and Platinum gave me the mindset that Thunder Wave is always something you have to buy from the post-game content with Battle Points, but it is much easier to obtain in the games after that.

We really should make a Beast Ball spreadsheet, mostly so I can pester people to get everything they currently have and then become a pusher.

Why aren't the box Legendary pokemon assigned a gender? The Dex entries straight up say "Lunala is the girl and Solgaleo is the boy" so it's kinda weird that it doesn't reflect that.

Yeah, that would be great, also just for coordinating who catches what so we don't have people wasting balls on something that's already floating around.

Thank you based tyb. I need to hunt down something to beast ball myself to pass around. What's the real trick here anyway, just abuse storage to stock up as many beast balls as you can stomach and toss & reset until get a lucky crit catch?

Pretty much, yeah. The rate is low, but if you're catching something reasonable it's not that bad at 1 HP asleep.

yeah, they have massively reduced chances so you'll need a ton of them

Yeah, I was silly and rushed through the UB quests and so I only have 20 balls left, but I'll probably end up buying Moon and farming them there. Until then I just soft reset if I need to use more than 2-3 balls, or 1 if it's an easy one.

So tons of beast balls, first thing. Got it. Is there an old man I can talk to who can show me how to catch pokemon? Maybe an island somewhere that I can surf along and encounter special pokemon with item slot blessings?

Also, what's up with Shellder? I haven't been able to GTS one even for oddball mid-evolutions that seem to go pretty fast like Vanillish.

Alas, because of GF's "one step forward, two back" policy, Missigno. is no longer in the game. :(

Shellder is one of those kind of hard to get Pokemon that most people don't want anyway. Just keep trying I guess.

Read the PC in lab A and talk to Wicke about the balls. They aren't producing more of them and are instead just trying to pawn off their stock because it reminds them of the darker half of the organization. All of the money they cost to produce was money already paid and they're a product they wouldn't want to try to sell over pawning them off on a 11 year old who surely won't use them for evil in the future.
