Someone was saying a while ago that you could catch other versions of your version exclusive ultra beasts for trading. Is that true or do you only get one and I will need to soft reset to get additional copies?

Of the exclusive ultra beasts you get 4 of 1, and 2 of the other.

... why aren't Scraggy/Scrafty in the Alola dex? They are literally the perfect pokemon for Team Skull. Or if they are in Alola and I'm not aware of it yet: why don't any Team Skull grunts have them? This is the most obvious thing
Also Bellossom, the literal hula dancer Pokemon, isn't in the Alola dex :psyduck:

If there's still any left, I'd like one as well. Though, the only thing I have on hand to trade is some Adamant Beast Ball Beldums with regular ability and unknown IVs.

Edit: Apparently I WT'd all the Beldums already, but still had some Castforms. I thought it was the other way around. But I guess that was good enough anyway? Thanks!

It's worth 5 points once you reach master rank, it's only a victory when one person dies in order to encourage strategy rather than ganging up one person indiscriminately and everyone will goon squad you if you're either about to win or an easy target.

You want to use more bulky, defensive guys and never leave somebody in if you think anybody on the field could 1HKO them. Because they will.

Strangely enough, in both AI and online in Battle Spot, I am never targeted unless I'm sweeping way too much and pull into first place right away (like with a lucky earthquake). But then again, I don't usually pick Pokemon with more than 3 type weaknesses.

It's not that bad. Once you have a team that can do super singles/doubles, you'll start getting BP really fast--the amount of BP you get is 2 + the tens digit of the match you're on, max 7. That's way better than Battle Royal.

Speaking of trading for rare things, I really need to purge some of my Pokémon. I've got Wimpod in Fast Balls, Trapinch in Friend Balls, Dhelmise in Lure Balls, Skarmory in Heavy Balls, and Snow Warning Vulpix, Sewaddle, and Shinx in Beast Balls. Anything with hidden abilities, rare balls, or useful egg moves would be cool, but I'll take random trash for them too.

20. Just be warned that it's far harder to get through the normal battles this time. But the Ultra Beasts can help with that if you need to just get enough BP to get the tools you need to build up your own team.

You also get the awesome "Idol Style" battle stance for beating it. A V sign and a spin when tossing out your pokeballs, it's so cool. But maybe the mysterious "Get a Battle Tree streak of 50 or higher" Passionate Style might look better, though I don't think I'm getting it any time soon.

Given that Terrain is such a big part of the meta thanks to the Tapus, do you think that moves that are dependent on terrain types like Camouflage and Nature Power might see a rise in popularity?

Nature Power in particular could be a fun gamble, it has great distribution as a TM and can't be Sucker Punched.
