If you don't poke Rotom when he is sad you are a) a monster and b) missing out on so much free money from roto bargain, and roto prize money, that I legitimately feel sad for you

the_steve posted:You can win one from the prize corner in Goldenrod, but, if you're in a hurry to power through the game, then that's obviously not ideal. Its also pretty easy a dratini one out of the pokewalker to use early on in the game, if you still have that peripheral.

Oxyclean posted:I looked up First Impression because I wasn't fully sure what the deal was beyond seeing Golisopod use it. Farfetch'd is literally the only other pokemon that can get it beyond stuff like smergle. How weird. Like why only farfetch'd? Well it might be a "seize the moment"/"make a good first impression" gag based on Farfetch'd and its' origin ("A duck that brings its' own onion" is meant to be a really fortunate occasion that you shouldn't pass up. I.e, using a really strong priority Bug move on the first turn.) But that hardly makes sense because it only makes sense with the American name of the move. But the gimmick of Farfetch'd only works in Japanese. So I have no loving clue.

Amppelix posted:I can't believe I'm saying this but I think the late totems and Necrozma are actually too hard. A pokemon game has unfairly hard bosses. There's a sentence I would never have imagined myself uttering. EDIT: Also I tried to catch a severely weakened, sleeping, female as opposed to my male Mimikyu currently out Eevee in my single love ball... and she broke out after the third wiggle. UNFAIR!

I found that as of ORAS, synchronize works 100% of the time on gift pokemon in the unidentified egg group, which is extremely specific but it means that getting a shiny Poipole with the right nature is entirely feasible. Bee dragon

I'm just glad they upped Necrozma's catch rate a whole lot for the story in US/UM. Now I can put my chunky laser-shooting friend in a luxury ball where he belongs.

Is there a good guide for pokemon I should have in my party? Or does it not really matter that much? I didn't really get into any of the Pokemon other than Blue and Red so a lot of the pokemon I don't know. Seems like Hawlucha is good, Starter obviouslly. Pikachu/Riachu?

I mean, there's hundreds of them and a lot is up to personal taste. Your starter is always a good bet, bit otherwise feel free to use whatever you think is cool and it should mostly work out. Unless you think Luvdisc is cool. Don't use Luvdisc.

Almost any Pokémon family will do okay for the main campaign. If you want, you can browse over the Pokémon that exist, find ones that look interesting to you, and get a goon to trade them to you. (In any case, Hawlucha is absolutely great for the job.)

There's no Pokemon you should have in your party, but here's my opinions on a few of the new ones. Pikipek line is surprisingly good with a wide move pool. It can also learn Brick Break Raichu has an Alolan form that's pretty great. Mudbray with the Stamina ability are great. A very good horsey. Cutiefly line is fast and is a good special attacker. Stufful is a super cutie that is good and strong.

Alolan Muk is a solid choice, he's slow as dirt but fabulously patterned. He was probably the most reliable fucker on my Moon team.

I swapped between around 18 or so pokemon for my party this time around playing the game and all of them were good and cool friends that I love and ended up pulling their weight, even the ones that were bad. So really just go with whichever looks cool.

Built like a tank, hits like one, great movepool, resists a bunch of common types, and is only weak to Ground. He's pretty slow but has more than enough bulk to make up for it. In terms of cool 'mons you can pick up early game, Murkrow and Gastly in the graveyard are really great. Unfortunately they got rid of Misdreavus in USUM I honestly recommend just opening Serebii and following the routes as you go through them so you know what can appear. That's what I've been doing, and just picking up cool favorites on the way instead of really planning anything. Kite Pride Worldwide fucked around with this message at 11:26 on Nov 29, 2017 |

it's because golisopod is trying to be cool and buff but is still the same coward as it always was, it's just flavored as a "tactical retreat" now instead of being a scaredy boy it's real good.

Yeah, because its a fun little character thing. Wimpod got all big, strong and imposing but is still the same scared bug inside :3 Its not like there aren't a ton of other renamed abilities. Vital Spirit/Insomnia, Cloud Nine/Airlock, Mold Breaker/Terravolt/Turboblaze, Huge Power/Pure Power, Rough Skin/Iron Barbs and Filter/Solid Rock.

Fritzler posted:My Exeggutor survived (barely) and OHKO him on return with draco meteor. My houndoom one shot togedmaru (I think with his Z-move) who I know a lot of people had trouble with, but I had a lot of problems with Lurantis. I didn't have air slash on my vikavolt yet (dunno if I even had vikavolt), but lurantis had a fighting move and outsped my houndoom which just wrecked him. I re-played that one several times and think I just got lucky from the AI making bad decisions.

Does Necrozma have smart AI, or does it do things at random? I'm not convinced that I wasn't somehow tricking it at firing off ineffectual Photon Geysers at my Zoroark and getting an immensely easy victory that way. I'm almost upset that I somehow missed out on this very stressful boss battle.

Good on me, then. Zoroark also made the normally stressful Dexio Mega Evolution tutorial battle a joke. It was a difficult investment but totally worth it in the end.
