How do I get better festival plaza facilities? God I hate festival plaza.

You can try talking to everyone in your plaza - you can purchase a facility from them, but its a crapshoot and the vast majority of people will just have a 1-star ball shop on offer.

Otherwise, pray to the RNG gods when you level up your plaza.

Apparently there's a way to game the plaza so you can soft-reset for facilities you want, but its time-consuming and I haven't tried it.

I'd like to try a Wishiwashi as a competitive Pokemon, probably as part of a Trick Room team to compensate for the abyssmal speed score. Since its Attack and Special Attack are equal, which one's the better choice. (Not that it has a great movepool, mind--physical is basically just Aqua Tail/Waterfall, Earthquake & U-Turn while the main special attacks are Hydro Pump & Ice Beam.)

You get offered a random facility every time your Plaza increases a rank, but mainly you'll just buy them from other people. When you interact with someone in your Festival Plaza they'll offer you the first facility in their list.

Speaking of which: does anyone have a Hoenn Tent fortune teller with just a single star? I recently found out that the phrases you get are dependent the kind of fortune teller AND its level. I really want that Mirage Island phrase.

Go to QR scan, scan 10x codes, you'll unlock 1x island scan. It will create a pokemon spawn depending on the week day and which island you are on. http://www.serebii.net/sunmoon/dailyevent.shtml if you want to see a list of what spawns.

And you don't care about Pokedex entries simply scan these (they work once a day).


The Magearna QR code for your region can also be re-used and counts for 20 points as well.

Is it more efficient investing in HP, or do you pump it all into the defense or attack stats instead?

I went with a Scald/Muddy Water/Ice Beam/protect set with one of the berries that heals 50% at 25%. A set with Surf along side a telepathy Oranguru which can then instruct the surfs might be alright.

How well does Oranguru's Instruct pair with mega-Khangaskhan?

I wouldn't know, I only really play VGC where Mega Kang isn't allowed this season. Generally speaking though, you normally see Oranguru use Instruct with spread moves as opposed to single target moves.

I pumped it all into HP and SpA with the leftover 6 in Att. If you are using only one attacking stat them may as well put those last point into a defense. His base HP is so low even while schooling that he benefits significantly more from maxing the HP stat rather than putting it in defenses. This is generally the case except for some fringe cases like Excadril where you get better bulk from investing in the defensive stats. You could put some into a defensive stat if you were looking to survive specific boosted attacks or SE hits with however much HP remaining, but Max HP, Max primary attacking stat seemed to work quite well.

The announcement said that the QR code could be used "indefinitely" although I have no idea if claiming it is tied to a save game or the game itself.
Putting a Pokemon with Synchronize in the lead of your party guarantees a nature, like with all gift/given Pokemon.

You can use the QR code multiple times for Island Scan purposes. You can only claim Magearna once per save though.

Seems you have been unlucky, since Pokemon House seems to work differently than the other fortune teller tents.

For the other tents you might need to downgrade for certain phrases. I got two new lines in two days from a single star Hoenn tent that I didn't get from having a five star version for over a month.

A brand new move that only exists on a single old Pokemon who couldn't even be imported into the game for the first two months of its existence. Move is "eh" and the Pokemon is pretty solidly unpopular. Sometimes I really do wonder what in the hell they're smoking over at GameFreak.

It's even physical, even though Heatmor has higher Sp.Atk than Attack. Not much higher, but still, what the hell :psyduck: It'd be a fantastic move on a better attacker (Fire-type Crunch w/ 100% defense drop? That's a crazy wall-busting move) but unfortunately physical Fire-types are few and far between, and it's such a specifically designed move that they'll never give it to anything else because ~flavor~

Unlike Heatmor, however, Durant is cool and good and powerful. Use Durant more often.

Look man, somewhere out there is a kid who loved his dearly departed pet anteater and he thinks Heatmor is just the coolest poo poo ever. Let them have a cool signature move for once. (Also, aren't like 4 out of 7 fire starters primarily physical attackers? Plus Flareon, Arcanine... You're not wrong on the raw numbers but that's partly because there are fewer fire-types, period. They're not really uncommon, is what I'm saying.)
