If you guys can tolerate the tedium of hatching eggs, I can trade over things to breed that will reliably get you trades by depositing on the GTS.

This is a terrible time for wonder trading. Lots of brand new game saves equals a lot of trash flooding it as they try to get something interesting instead of the usual trash bugs and birds.

Japanese players are speaking out about the lack of new content. Amazon reviews are mostly 1 star, which apparently is a big deal. The Japanese fans I follow on twitter seem to be mentioning it as well.

Also for anyone curious about the fossil situation;

Ultra Sun has Omanyte, Anorith, Cranidos, Titoruga and Tyrunt

Ultra Moon has Kabuto, Lileep, Shieldon, Archen and Amaura

They're available 1 each for purchase in the in the stone shop on Island 2 like in base Sun and Moon, 7000 a pop.

If you are interested in breeding Pokémon, you can't go wrong with a Destiny Knot. If that's not a concern for you, then Lucky Eggs are a great idea.

I don't think you can trade Z-stones.

You definitely can't via the GTS, trying to trade a mega stone GTS style throws an error.

You can get it's, Mew's, and Marshadow's Z-stones at the resort on Island 2.

Also Snorlax's special Z move blows since it requires Giga Impact

I didn't fully check the egg moves of the beast ball mimikyu I bred for my shiny mimikyu to use in Ultra Sun, and I ended up with a Mimikyu that knew no damage-dealing moves. Like, Curse is damage-dealing, technically, but it's more of a status move, and he also had Nightmare which is useless without a sleep-inducing move.

I ground him up to get shadow sneak but goddamn.

You're supposed to do that when you pick your passport photo at the beginning of the game. Eye colour and hair colour can be changed later.

Moon exclusive and you can get it mid way through the second island (slightly before Konikoni if you get all the others).

So, good news to anyone who wants to use Marowak ingame.

The totem one you get for collecting 40 stickers in Ultra Sum comes at level 25 which means you actually get Shadow Bone before the E4.

Also on totem pokemon, they have hidden abilities. For Marowak, this means you can flare blitz till the cows come home! Lurantis I can confirm has leaf guard, not contrary, so it can't use its new toy superpower while a totem, which sucks.

Can anyone confirm that araquanid and salazzle also suffer from their hidden abilities?

Haha yeah, I ended up with that with the Mimikyu egg I brought across from Moon to Sun. I also brought in a Wimpod, which was at least slightly more useful than your average Wimpod in that it knew Aqua Jet, but was still tricky to use. I had to carry them both for a while.

Of course, now they both carry me :3:.

Yeah, you get them for 20, 40, 50, 70, 80, 100 stickers. There are 50 on the first two islands, but one cannot be gotten without the Machamp strength.

I was more wondering for nature purposes. During my first playthrough, for non-legendaries, I can't be assed to care about them.

So I'm either crazy, or they've massively inflated the FC gains in the plaza. I landed the "best luck in the plaza" fortune this morning, and I've gained 270 FC from a good answer at least twice already. I've also got a 3 star navy blue dye house and a 5 star blue dye house, in case anyone wants to get in on those.
