I didn't get the stamps until I talked to the guy in the Game Freak office. The crowns did show up though, I traded for anything not available in Moon.

Hmm. I have stuff that's complete but I didn't get a crown, or stamp when I went to the office. I am assuming it's because I didn't catch it myself. Dadgummit.

I got about 1/4 of my dex entries from the GTS, you should get credit. I got all the UBs and Legendaries with the GTS and still have the quests to do in my game but I have the shiny charm.

If you're fine with the ball, I've got a 5IVs (and very good speed) HA Bold Mareanie with Haze ready in a luxury ball, otherwise I'm about to hatch one in a beast ball (IVs will be different). Take your pick!

You can use Ash-Greninja and one box legendary. Does that break anything, aside from using the legendary in basically every fight? Is Necrozma better than the boxen? Is Battle Bond even good?

The dex page gets a silver crown if you've "seen" everything, it turns gold once you've actually completed it. You need to have handled the pokemon for rotom-dex to fill out the entry.

I was unreasonably excited about Cosmog getting Splash so Lunala had Z-Splash access until I remembered whoops, no items.

e: and only then did I realize Lunala was a special attacker, although +3 goes a long way towards mitigating that.

No items seems weird since I feel it really benefits defensive pokemon - It's a lot harder to wallbreak without Life Orb or Choice Band somewhere on your team. Toxapex doesn't need to run Leftovers to be a fat sack of poo poo, but lots of mons need those items to secure Fast Frags.

My theory is that it's designed to be casual-small-child friendly. Doubles opens up stuff they'd never think of, and I mean stuff as basic as Torkoal plus something that likes the sun or Ninetales plus Sandslash. No items means they can't not know about Choice items and just have no shot ever. One legendary means they can use their fave.

All right. The Beast Ball/Apricorn spreadsheet was lacking Love Ball Luvdisc. This has now been corrected. Hit me up if you want some love!

Or anything else I've caught in Beast Balls. Give me your Apricorn/Beast Ball things! I made a box for them and everything, called BEAST MODE.

Yeah, I was that kid back in the day, I know how it is. But I meant more like they could use one and there are only two to pick from if you don't do a fair chunk of trading and then they can fill the team with Tapus and UBs or whatever and get eliminated we all know how it is.

What's the standard Lunala set? Are they bulky?

Adamant Aegislash Shadow Sneak after Rocks has a chance to OHKO, guessing something good with Sucker Punch has a guaranteed OHKO after Rocks. Bringing Rocks to 3 vs. 3 seems eeehhh though.

Just be sure to have a Koko, Lunala and Pheromosa counter basically :v:

EDIT: Actually holy poo poo Acrobatics Talonflame may actually be usable in this format.

For now, anyway. I just dedicated space to them, is all. I figure when Bank updates, I'll make a separate section for Beast Ball 'mons. I worked too hard on Fashion Balling other Pokemon to just give all that up. Not everything looks best in a Beast Ball. Still want to collect them all though.

Anyway, I'll start by breeding a few each of my Beast Ball Pokemon. Would all you other Beast Ball havers let me know when you're available to swap? I'm on the Discord too (username same as it is here). I'll be around off on and on all weekend. Next week I have a few things going on but for the most part I'll be around.

As someone who's favorite Pokemon since Gen 1 has been Marowak, seeing him take the spotlight in this gen makes me very happy.

I guess he was OU in Gen 2, but I'm not playing any gen where the matches last 3000 turns.
