So I know that Ultra Necrozma kinda comes out of nowhere and can eat teams for breakfast. I just ran into it yesterday and it outsped and OHKO'd 4 of my team members and 2HKO'd everything else. Did everyone just cheese the fight with toxic?

or did you FEAR it like I did :c00lbutt:

To my detriment, I had three different pokemon who could've taken down UN

Malamar with Topsy-Turvy to debuff it
Zoroark with Illusion to troll it
Inciniroar to Z-Move the heck out of it

The game gives you a LOT of Dark-types at the start of the game

As a result, I struggled more against the Dragon Totem (Used Play Rough to get rid of its Berry, then revived, and Snuggled it to death)

It's called "Hell Wheel" in Japanese, which is an IRL lucha libre move, so at least it has that going for it.

I love having to advance through dialogue every time I want to bring up the map.

Also the little rear end in a top hat calls me Roto-R now and won't stop. I thought it would be a meaningless choice like everything else! :mad:

I got sick of him calling me Roto-L and now he calls me Master. I'm not sure which is worse...

I don't mind the little guy, but I wish you could turn off his hint thing. Or that he wouldn't pop up with them every single time the screen transitions at all.

Get into a battle and run away? Time for Roto Hints!

Get to the next screen and want to check where you're going? Nope! Time for Roto Hints!

Open the menu? Yep, you guessed it! Roto Hints!

Go to Festival Plaza and do some trades? "Hey, Master, looks like you haven't saved in quite some time!" I had him do that right after I opened the menu and saved.

In triples battles in ORAS, it was super easy to cheese. Get an Aron with Sturdy, Berry juice, Protect and Endeavor, put it in the middle, all the enemies try to kill it while your Greninja Mat Blocks and your Garchomp Swords Dances. Proceed to sweep super easily with tandem surf/earthquakes.

See, the problem is that at first I LIKED talking to the Rotom dex, they were kind of cute and I liked seeing them do the little dance when I poked them. But now I've been too nice for too long and they just WON'T. STOP. TALKING.

I've seen the same set of unskipable useless hints repeated so many times, and always when I'm trying to look at the map.

Rotom-dex has the grain of a good idea, but I really don't think it was done well in Ultra Sun/Moon. They were cuter in regular Sun/Moon, back when they shut up most of the time.

This was my experience too. :(

Just let us turn off hints in the options or something if you want to help the kids that badly GF. Also, one of my friends is photosensitive in a specific way where the Rotomdex’s blink animation and grain gives them migraines so she can’t play gen 7. At least gen 8 won’t have a second screen.

Just register Charizard Glide to one of the d-pad directions and use that as the map function from them on. It's a fully functional map so you never need to use the bottom screen for that ever again. And you don't have to fly anywhere just for using it either, since just pressing the same d-pad button hides it again.

Man, gently caress Alola Raichu. I had my surfing Pikachu evolve into one, and it turns out its only available Ability requires a move that it doesn't learn except through breeding. It doesn't seem worthwhile to have another electric Pokemon on my team just to set up Electric Terrain, and while I suppose it would still be good for doubles, I feel like I just wasted a Pokémon. Also they're kinda ugly and their eyes are weird.

Also there's no way to update my system time for Daylight Savings Time without losing Festival Plaza for two days, is there?

Surfing Alolan Raichu also can't use Nasty Plot, since that's an egg move. So just slap a Choice Specs on it and hope for the best.

Also it's barely used in doubles despite Tapu Koko being everywhere.

I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


Alolan Raichu is a good monster, even if its a bit frailer then regular Raichu. I do appreciate that they're finally acknowledging it instead of shafting it for Pikachu.

That being said, I'm currently doing a playthrough with a hatched Emolga.

Original Raichu is one of my all-time favorites, but I used one in Gen 3 and Gen 4, so I grudgingly decided to go with Alola Raichu for the sake of doing something different. I just wish I'd done my research first and bred one instead of using the surfing Pikachu.

Besides Raichu, I think the only Pokémon I've used in my main party for multiple games are Rotom and Vaporeon. I think the latest addition to my revolving door party is going to be original Raticate, because I miss Super Fang and haven't used one since Gen 2.

I just did totem Togedemaru, who is a total rear end with spiked shield and bounce. I refused to use anyone besides Incineroar, so many potions were used until he ran out of pp on spiked shield.


I had read that Totem Togedemaru was a bitch and I unintetionally went in prepared. I had my physically defensive Chesnaught with Bulldoze leading cause I figured he wouldn't be able to do much to it and then I saw Togedemaru using Bounce and was "Oh poo poo, please don't have a Power Herb, please don't have a Power Herb".

So I ended up using Toge's tactic against him by using Rock Tomb on Skarmory during Bounce's 1st turn, then Spiked Shield on Bounce's 2nd turn till he ran out of PP then proceeded to set Leech Seed and Bulldoze.

It only got tricky at one point due to Dedenne's Pickup getting Togedemaru's Sitrus Berry and getting an extra Super Fang off lowering Chesnaught's Hp into danger zone but managed to pull through.
