Doesn't everybody playing the game have at least one of the Actual Legendaries as well? They're not rare, I have boxes full of legendaries :shrug:

loving hell there’s no National Dex in US? Who the gently caress thought that’d be a good idea?? I’m making my way to the Battle Tree to check it out and then start my process of completing the regional Dex. After that it’s going to back to White to do some Pokémon hunting there and then finally begging here for pretty much every gen 6 Pokémon as I never got X/Y. If I can find the game on clearance or sale then that’d be a bonus.

EDIT: Oh hell yeah found out about pokedextracker so now I have a clear ideas of what I have and I’m missing. I’m currently... 50.2% done with a live dex :smithicide:

Yeah I hope they reverse course and add a full national dex back for Gen 8.

I like him, and his fairy attacks have served me well, but I also would have been happy with the slowpoke you can pick up on like Route 2.

Have you tried to use slowpoke? It is absolutely miserable until it evolves.

I respect what they were doing, trying to avoid implying that you actually need to catch them all when we're nearing 1000 mons and most of them don't even appear in the game, but... c'mon, just let me track the ones I've got.

You probably need a specific held item to Armor evolution, just like Mega. So you can't do both.

So is there any way yet to get a mon to lvl 100 without just battling the elite 4? I only have SM but would get USUM if they added something to fix how horrible grinding it is.

Make sure that you max out affection, it’ll increase your experience. You can also battle the Game Freak employee in karate gear, and you can do the restaurant challenge in the mall in Hau’oli city

<click> <click> What is it with this dancing?! Bouncing around like fools... I would have thought my own kind at least would understand the seriousness of our Adventurer's Guild!

US/UM does have Chansey Chains in the postgame area, as well as Roto Exp. Points to double Exp yield from battles for a while. So it's definitely faster if you wanna grind in that one for postgame stuff.

Even that is miserably slow in comparison to older methods though, and I really, really hope we get something faster for Sword and Shield. I don't care about getting to level 100 but I evolve a lot of mons for the whole livingdex thing (which in my case also includes international Pokemon, which means I get quite a bit to evolve) and it'd be nice to not take ages for the ones that need higher levels.

You can put it on the training course on Poke Pelago and give it the exp juice, to have up to 18 training passively. I think there are also restaurants in Festival Plaza that have exp food too.

I miss the Battle Chateau so much. :mad:

Max affection, rotom exp power, steal lucky eggs off wild chanseys, then hit the E4 over and over. Exp on pokepelago plateaus around level 40 and then it will take approximately infinity to finish leveling.

If you have a lot of festival plaza coins, for ~300 coins you can level from 66 to 100 pretty much instantaneously. This requires a 5-star rare kitchen, two of them if you want to do the leveling all at once rather than across two days.

how can we not talk about family
when family's all that we got?
level 4 and 5 restaurants in Festival Plaza have meals that add 7-9 levels at a pop, plus the ~10 individual level meals per day. and you can have like six of those restaurants. there's no grinding in S/M at all, unless you want there to be
