Turns out breeding is a lot faster in Sun and Moon for a good reason. I'm not sure about the past games, but in XY, your bike moved 10 steps per second. The Mach Bike in ORAS moves at 12 steps per second. Tauros moves at 33 steps per second when charging.Evil Eagle posted:Timid or Modest for A-Raichu? If you're making use of Surge Surfer, Modest is preferred unless you're worried about an opponent's Alolan Raichu.

Why would someone trade a Type:Null for a castform? You can breed castform! What the heck people!

Like have something long term rather than a short term victory.

FishBulb posted:Why would someone trade a Type:Null for a castform? You can breed castform! What the heck people! Maybe they don't know? They probably also didn't remember that type:null evolves since it isn't in any particular island's dex and is instead just in the alola one. For the island dex stuff you can just look at the pretty images and see the ? gaps, but to know you hosed up and forgot about Silvally you need to scan through the full dex. Also possible that it's their master-stroke plan to trade type:null for your castform, breed it and then get multiple type:null in return.

Blaziken386 posted:The only IV that absolutely needs to be at 0 for maximum effectiveness is Speed. All 0 Attack does is limit damage to yourself if someone uses either Foul Play or Swagger. Honestly, just don't worry about it. This one's new to me--I could understand 0 speed IV for a trick room team or something but why would a Fini want 0 speed IV? Also what's the benefit for a Special Attacker to have 0 IV attack?

There's no way to scum for a rare encounter, right? Honey just works like Sweet Scent used to and gives you something at random, not like when it summoned Swarms?

I put a diglett into GTS with the nickname Diglett Dig for a Dugtrio and set my message to be the one where I ask for a nicknamed pokemon ...Well... that works too I guess... Also, FishBulb, I thought of you.   I'm still trying to get that HA Eevee while deciding between my two mudbrays. Could anyone answer my question about how Anticipation works?  If it only triggers once when the HA Eevee enters into battle, or if it would trigger if it's already in play and I switch in a pokemon with a fighting type move?

The Shortest Path posted:Oh yeah so speaking of Knock Off and Muk-A, he is incredibly strong. OHKOs all the tapus with no attack investment Gunk Shot, is the only stab Knock Off user that's legal and good, has only a single weakness which you can negate with an air balloon if you feel like it, and is massively bulky because he's Muk. Something I'm experimenting with is running gluttony with a figy berry. I'm pretty sure it causes it to proc at sub 50% health rather than 25%, making it a lot more reliable as recovery. Poison touch is pretty useful, but it doesn't do much for me since I started running Tapu Fini and often have misty terrain up. Can't bring myself to use gunk shot though. I already get mad enough with Salazzle whiffs a fire blast.

I just adjusted mine's myself--looks like only 116 ATK EVs (+ Adament) needed to OHKO a S.ATK/SPE Lele No one's running an HP or DEF Lele right?

It's a hidden ability so no you aren't just gunna catch one in the wild with it. You might eventually get it if you catch enough of them as SOS calls (if Abra can even show up that way I have no idea)

When I got my HA vulpix it was about #15 in the chain? So they can show up that early. If you have to check manually then a pokemon that knows Role Play or any ability swapping move is good if you're deep in a chain.

GTS trip report: Mostly people want legendaries for their fuckin Beast Ball mons. Thankfully, people will trade legendaries for Castforms. Picked up Kangaskhan, Jangmo-o, and Gastly, none of which goons previously had. Can breed more if anyone cares.

HA Abra is 100% possible. I used a Trapinch with Sandstorm to check for Magic Guard and Bite to get rid of an Abra before it had to Struggle itself to death. My chain was probably something like 12 when it finally showed up. Magic Guard Abra was calling for help way more often than the other Abras though so it took a bit longer to catch it.
