I picked up UM and I'm using the Penumbra Moon mod and it's pretty fun and nice not being always overleveled and the trainers being able to put up a fight.

Can you save scum a chain? If you save after getting a chain of 31, and pokemon #33 breaks it, could you reload and resume at 31 again?

serebii says saving breaks a chain

What's Penumbra Moon, and is there a US equivalent?

I'm on Koga now and dear god why did they program a move-selection AI that uses protect in singles against single-turn moves when the attacker is faster? It's the most insanely frustrating and unnecessary time waster ever

Got my mind on doritos and doritos on my mind.
Count me in as one of the PoGo players who bought the Lets Go Switch bundle. I’ve played X, OR, and Sun so I’m familiar with the 3DS games. I wasn’t really thinking about getting a Switch until this bundle came out though. It will be nice to be able to transfer the extra shinies from the PoGo community days over to Let’s go and clear up storage space. It should also satisfy my Pokémon need in the winter months when walking around outside at a park isn’t ideal.

So apart from the obvious collection aspect is there any real postgame content in Let's Go or is it still mostly just Mewtwo?

There are "Master Trainers" for each Pokemon, and you have to do some challenge (often a 1v1 mirror match but not always) to be labeled a Master of that Pokemon.

Any idea where some of those trainers are? For reference having now reached the postgame myself my current team consists of:

Eevee
Raichu
Charizard
Blastoise
Moltres
Mewtwo

QUESTIONS

1) I got a Growlithe that's a under leveled compared to my other dudes. Is the best thing to simply keep him as the only person in the party for a bit? It's kind of a pain when it comes to getting XP from catching Pokemon because they get automatically added to your party so I have to take them out afterwards every time.
2) Is there a limit to the amount of times you give your pokemon candy? It seems like you could potentially grind out candies forever and just keep giving them to your Pokemon.
3) How do I know what the "perfect IV"s or whatever are. Like how do I read that and determine how good a Pokemon I catch is? In Pokemon Go I just use one of the apps that can read a screenshot

2: The cap is 200 in each stat. So 200 species specific candy, or as many candy as it takes to get +200 to each stat of the generic candy.

3: There is a professor's aide you talk to upstairs in one of the gates who will unlock the IV check function in the stats screen. Need like 60 odd different species in the pokedex, then press Y on the stat screen. Best is a perfect IV.

Go the 2nd floor of the building in Route 11 after catching 30 unique pokemon and the Assistant will give you the Judge Function which will let you see the IVs of any pokemon you catch.

Solumin posted:

It sounds like Let's Go is pretty fun! I like the idea of candies letting you boost weaker Pokemon up usable levels.

Honestly I kind of want to visit Kanto again. Would y'all say this is the best version of RBY so far?

Have they adjusted move pools at all? One of my biggest gripes with gen 1 is how unusable a lot of it Pokemon are. Candies plus better move pools would fix a lot of them.

They definitely did. I was skimming some of the level up movepools and the stone evolution pokemon tend to learn their good stuff earlier so you don't have to make them wait forever to evolve. For example, Growlithe now learns flamethrower at level 17. It looks like they actually simplified a lot of pokemon's movesets so most only learn STAB attacks and various support moves, but then they added in some really odd moves like giving Beedrill Outrage and Kadabra Night Shade.

OK, bought Nintendo Online since I would have when Smash came out anyway.

Anyone want to trade Kadabras? I have a session open as Pidgey-Bulbasaur-Bulbasaur.

Can keep eachother's Kadabras or trade back after they evolve, I'm good either way.

edit: Since it's only 3 characters, people keep joining my room, leaving when it's taken, and forcing me to reopen. So, just ping me if you wanna trade and I'll reopen. I want an Alakazam!

You, an idiot: Don’t go purchasing Pokeballs because the game gives you balls as a reward for trainer battles and by the end you will have a ton anyway.

Me, a genius: stocking up on pokeballs and great balls because Oak’s Candy Factories will no fuel themselves

I heard lures help with this and they apparently don't run out unless you're moving around.

The shiny charmander spot has 2 areas where you can force them to spawn and despawn so the lure rate is not necessarily the problem

Lures apparently boost the shiny rate and do some other stuff too.

Does anyone know the best spot to get consistent good EXP without much risk of failing captures and such? I decided if I'm gonna conquer at least one Master Trainer it's going to be the Meltan one, and I need to get it to level 100 to earn the title.
