I was previously upset about not being able to evolve Eevee into Sylveon (my favorite eeveelution). However, not already having a fairy type on my team encouraged me too try having an Aloan Ninetales on my team and now I love her just as much as Sylveon.

Also, I can put a pink shirt and ribbons and a cute hat on my Eevee so she's just as stylish as Sylveon anyway :3:

Pro tip for battling Mewtwo if your team is woefully underprepared - find someone on your team that can take at least one hit, and replace one of their TM-able moves with Toxic. Apply it and continually heal as Mewtwo tries to kill you. Eventually when its health gets low enough from the Toxic damage it will be spamming Recover instead of attacking and won't be able to keep up now that you have free reign to attack it without fear of getting hit yourself.

In a game with no hold items and no abilities, Alolan Marowak was always going to be an uphill battle

Marowak's at an advantage really, because it gets Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, Rock Slide, and Earthquake all by TM pre-Victory Road.

The Alolan Marowak you can get in-game is freaking worthless. It has overleveled all of its good moves, and yet, doesn't have them. You have to wait until Indigo Plateau to get the move relearner to fix it!

And he's my favorite Alolan form! :(

its still funny to me Alolan Marrowak evolves a level after it learns its signature move in SuMo, and obviously cubone can't get it

I’ve been getting them from taking my Pokemon for strolls.

One day of walking turned my level 5 Magikarp into a level 20 Gyarados. I’m still at Mt Moon because I’ve been busy, but I have a group of level 20+ Pokemon because of the Pokeball Plus.

By strolls, do you mean walking around with them in the pokeball plus?

That was my original thought too, but Caterpie and Weedle don't learn Bug Bite in this game. You're stuck with Tackle/Poison Sting.

A fun thing about candies is that they make a runthrough with NFE Pokemon completely viable, and not an exercise in frustration. I'm getting Eevee game first, but when I get Pikachu game I intend to play through as Yellow from Adventures, with her own team (subbing Graveller for its Alola form). Should be a riot, especially with the way the timeline shifted.

Just makes the Totem Marowak in Ultra Sun all the more useful... since he comes at level 25, already evolved and low enough level to pick up that signature move.

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned yet, or if it’s something others find cool, but: the interior of the game case has an illustrated map of kanto with all the pokemon painted in, and legendary birds and mewtwo in the four corners. A really pretty map that I reversed and made the cover right away.

It has to be something you can't do in any previous generation, so you gotta do all that and use a new TM move or while wearing an otherwise useless hold item.

You have to solo a special trainer with your regular Eevee, that trainer has the Bug, Rock, Steel, Ghost, Fighting, and Ground Eeveelutions.

But that shouldn't be the last one, the last one should be Normal

It would complete the cycle because the pattern, although it's never been called attention to, to eeveelutions thus far has been that it can only evolve into types that used to be specially-attacking before that was made into a property of moves themselves in gen IV. Now, fairy didn't exist before the split but it's fairly obvious it would have been a special attacking type if it did. And dragon is the last special attack type left with no corresponding eevee.

Yes, dragon was special and ghost was physical. Don't ask me.
