They're not hard to get for Castforms!

I had a few extra celesteelas that I ended up trading for... maybe more Buzzwoles, maybe that Necrozma, I forget. Fair enough point; need to build those ranks back up.

For Castform? It's been taking me a little longer, but it's still been working just fine.

I also secretly suspect I could try aiming for Tapu Fini/Bulu and backdooring into the good Tapus from there.

That's too long - gotta relist after twelve hours or so, they get buried under all the crap since it's sorted chronologically and I guess people are lazy? But it really does work better for me if I relist.

Final question sirs and I do appreciate all the responses. I have bred a Minior with Beast Ball that has 5 perfect IV's. Speed however is only "Decent", should I try giving this Minior a destiny knot and breeding it with another Minior that has a perfect speed IV?

Genderless Pokémon can only breed with Ditto. But do keep a destiny knot on one of them (it actually doesn't matter which) and maybe try and get lucky that the child gets Minior's 5 perfect IVs as well as randomly perfect speed?

If you don't have a 6 IV Ditto, a 4 IV is attainable through chaining at least 30 in a single battle; this would greatly boost your odds of a perfect Minior.

Whoever wanted a HA Vulpix egg moves earlier, I still have one. But I'm going to bed early, so I can get it to you tomorrow if someone else can't!

I used Dragonite @ Lum Berry (Multiscale) / Milotic @ Sitrus Berry (Competitive) / Aegislash @ Leftovers for my initial farm. Now that I have some choice items I'm using Tapu Fini @ Choice Scarf instead of the Milotic.

Those three don't need any special items, just berries and leftovers. You can sub anything stall-y that doesn't duplicate weaknesses in the middle slot, like an Eviolite Chansey. Muk probably works, too. Toxapex definitely.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

I can toss a 5IV HA Vulpix w/ egg moves in a lux ball your way. I don't really need anything special in return but I'll take a beast ball slowpoke if you've still got some.

Well, I only play doubles so this may not work for you, but so far I've been having good results with:

Primarina @ Sitrus berry
- Dazzling Gleam
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Perish Song

Tsareena @ Fighting Z
(Queenly Majesty)
- Trop Kick
- High Jump Kick / Low Sweep
- Teeter Dance
- Protect

Muk-A @ Black Sludge
(Power of Alchemy)
- Substitute
- Minimize / Protect / Acid Armor
- Poison Jab / Gunk Shot
- Knock off

Marowak-A @ Thick Club
(Lightningrod)
- Protect
- Bonemerang
- Shadow Bone
- Flare Blitz

Muk is the glue of the team, the idea is to use his HA to keep Marowak and Tsareena's protective abilities around as long as possible. Against players I wouldn't use minimize Muk, it's too unreliable imo, but against the AI it's fine. If you don't like that, you could use Acid Armor or Protect instead though.

Low Sweep is probably better than HJK for battle tree, because it's more reliable and offers some speed control, but if you're mostly using it to power the Z-move, you may miss out on some OHKOs.

Primarina has proven to be bulkier than I expected. I kinda just picked her because I wanted something with Perish Song to beat stallers, and fairy typing seemed helpful so I wanted to try it out. If you don't like Primarina, Lapras and Politoed are good alternatives that still get Perish Song, and they both have better abilities for Muk to copy.

EVs are nothing fancy, just full investment in HP and the best attacking stat, though I should probably make Muk more defensive. All of the items are available without BP by stealing. Probably the hardest part would be finding an alchemist Grimer, and for that you can chain them at the trainer's school (it's less annoying to chain them there because they don't know Minimize yet).

Anyone have any general tips, or anything I should know before doing the Looker mission where you catch all the UBs?? I can just kill them and they'll come back? And some of them I can catch twice?? should I catch the Tapus first?? And like, regular Pokeballs/non Beast Balls are fine?
