So what are the best shops in festival plaza? I've got a pink dye shop and a 4 star rare kitchen but everything else is kind of meh. Are there anything I should be looking out for?
There's a pretty sweet trick you can do with a two-star Treasure Hunt as a VIP-purchasable shop to buy infinitely many Bottle Caps for 150 FC each, but you don't want to keep it permanently so someone has to take the bullet and leave it in their one-slot.

Dye shops are good. Rare kitchen is good. Lottery places are fine filler. That's about it.

The issue is if there was a better option for Pheromosa, I'd use it. As it stands I don't think it can learn anything half as good that's 100% accurate.

when do you get access to the move tutor? i'm on the third island but i'm not allowed to go up where the tutor is hiding???
my marowak ghost with her club is great but it looks like some of the more useful moves are only learned before she evolved(??? why)

also wishwashi is amazing and i love it, if only it's move pool wasn't so shallow

Marowak learning Shadow Bone at 27 and evolving at 28 and NOT learning the Shadow Claw TM and the Move Relearner being right before the Elite Four is the worst thing in the game. Not close.

It's because the move relearner in this game lets you learn moves you aren't high enough level for as well.

I'm also a fan of Golisopod learning Razor Shell at 27 and evolving at 30. Only other physical water move it learns is Liquidation at 48 or Waterfall via TM.

More point than you'd think, honestly. Pheromosa gets caught at 60 and learns High Jump Kick at 67 and I'm lazy. There's plenty of stuff that learns a good move late enough that you can just shrug and toss a Heart Scale at it, especially since you literally buy them for ~500 bucks per this gen.

I'd imagine that if you want to only level your pokemon to 50, you can still get access to its whole movepool for online play.

50 wins in super singles :toot: A few rough battles near the end, but the 50th guy was kinda a pushover thankfully. Shame I don't have much use for the 50BP bonus, since I've been bashing my head against the battle tree for awhile and already have most of the things I want and all the mega stones anyways. Guess it's time to come up with a doubles team.

No, I didn't mean "ugh, they're harder to catch in full health form", I meant "ugh, it's not random so I have to catch and not breed".

What's with GTS's hard-on for specifically Celesteela? I would have expected more Pheromosa demand but I'm going Castform>Celesteela>[random BB mon] frequently.
Robo-Kaguya is the best and coolest Ultra Beast :colbert:

But goddamn nobody wants Pheromosa at all, I'm having worse luck trying to pawn off my kickroaches than I am random Minior (which have gotten me most of the new Pokemon so far).

I need help from a goon trading off some of my held item evolvers. Scizor, Electavire, Magmortar, and Porygons. I think the last pokemon I need in my dex is Froslass after I get these out of the way. I can provide any of several good breeding mons for GTS trade fodder as payment. Also, you get the traded ones in your dex as well!

Yeah, it's weird because it's got such insane stats and yet nobody seems to want them. Celesteela (for Tapus if needed) has been great for getting me stuff, but Pheromosa, nope.

e: Ha, operation "search for evolved forms instead" got me at least one new Beast Ball mon!

I've been doing exactly this for the past few days, dozens of 4-5 IV Mimikyus with slightly different ways to misspell Pikachu, like P!kachu, Pikachv, Pykachw, P:kachu, Pikachu...?

Great minds think alike, I suppose.

Has anyone else already complained about how you can only buy red clothes from shops in Sun? In moon you can only get red clothes by either A) randomly asking people in festival plaza if you can buy a random piece of their outfit or B) dying white clothes at a dye shop, which can only be gotten randomly.

It just kinda pisses me off because red is my favorite color.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

I think the fortune teller might be good to have in festival plaza. I had one day where it said I might have good luck in festival plaza itself and suddenly the FC I was getting from guest requests was doubled. I went from rank 40 to 51 in a day and it didn't involve grinding missions.

The problem with the fortune teller is that it is not consistent or guaranteed. Good luck with the lottery? Well, it could give you two bottlecaps, it could give you a berry juice.

How many times must I remind you to WASH YOUR HANDS?

Yay, I managed to beat battle tree normal singles with Mimikyu, Whimsicott, and Espeon despite having no good answer to steel! :v: Saps trying to z-move disguised mimikyu will never not be funny.

I should probably get a good fire type before trying to get further, though, and unfortunately it will probably replace Whimsicott because the prankster nerf sucks.

Please recommend a cute fire pokemon tia
