Is there any way to breed or increase the likelihood of a pokemon having a certain hidden power type? I lucked into an electric type HP for my yellow Oricorio, and she was one of my stars. However, my wife has also fallen for yellow Oricorio, but has not been able to get the same lucky find. Also, what is that terrible clanging noise in konikoni-something city?

Bug is a fun type to play around with.

If you're willing to count the UBs, they're obviously incredible, Pheremosa is even in Ubers. For the other definitions of good, as in my favourites, see Paul Power's post.

So what the gently caress is the deal with brutal swing? Is it just completely useless? A 60 BP move that hits both pokemon and your own in doubles. Great  Tired Moritz posted:Name me some good bug pokemon, I want to be Guzma junior. Araquanid Golisopod Ribombee Scizor Mega-Pinsir Excluding UBs I think that's it for good bug Pokemon in Alola.

Whoo, I made HA Beast Ball Fomantis with 4 egg moves a thing. I messed up half a dozen times in the process tho and have nearly 2 boxes worth to show for it. Pro-tip: catch a male in the beast ball to make your life easier. Anyway, going to take a break now and I'll start working on the IVs later. I'll share my info when they are ready for your collections.

Island Scan mons can't call in reinforcements, so while Venipede's available, its hidden ability isn't until it can be Banked up.

DACK FAYDEN posted:Masuda method works entirely off the language you're playing in. You're good to get an English ditto and call it a day. This is not correct. Masuda method works based on the languages of the games the two pokemon originally came from. If you get two Spanish mons and breed them together in an English-language game, you won't benefit from the Masuda method. The language of the game you are playing in is relevant in as much as you have a ready supply of mons that are in that language. edit: Actually, I'm not sure about this. Bulbapedia's page is confusingly worded and seems to suggest that there is an additional, hidden language tag that is different to the one displayed on the status screen.

So after taking 2 days to get a Magnemite, Abra and Gastly with the right nature, the cartridge was mistakenly taken out of my 3DS. I then realized I hadn't saved during that time.

Not sure about any hidden language tag, but my experience suggests that the visible language tag is what counts. I'm playing in English on a Japanese 3DS and using a Japanese Ditto to breed, and so far I seem to be more or less hitting the 1/512 that I should (6 shinies in around 3k eggs).

Space Cadet Omoly posted: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. I was also disappointed to learn of the clothing colour exclusivity as someone who wears mostly grey, blue, purple and green, but bought Sun. I spent pretty much the whole game wearing pink and black.

The daily loto in the Hau'oli City also requires you to save.

I signed up for the first VCG17 Reddit tournament. Better buckle down and start practicing. So far I've discovered my team had no answer to Torkal. Waterfall on Gyrados is 3hko which is unacceptable. Trick room teams seem super strong in general really. I'd never attempt to breed a 0 IV team but for showdown it's worth exploring
