The fairy totem is absolutely evil. I was considering trading for a Celesteela to kill it...

I used toxic and then just fed things to it until it died. It was not an elegant win.

This was me on the electric trial w/ salandit. Thank god for corrosion.

Yeah, my salazzle (with a quick claw) versus solgaleo and real necrozma was definitely the MVP

Buy ten million revives and spend every turn reviving Pokemkn I guess.

I haven’t hit it yet and I’m afraid that I won’t be able to to much to it myself since Fairy hits A-Muk for neutral damage.

It likes to quiver dance, so you basically have to hit it physically hard real fast or do SOMETHING. Once it gets going, no matter what Pokemon you send out it will OHKO it. At least that was my experience, just using a revive each turn and waiting for toxic.

what's a better nature for Naganadel? Timid or Modest?

My Naganadel is timid so I can use nasty plot and then sweep without mercy. If you wanted to run choice scarf though, modest would mean your Beast Boost ups special attack instead of speed, so you get more dangerous while being ridiculously fast.

Tangent but is Poipole named Poipole because it is purple?

EDIT: Also can you get lucky and catch shiny ultra beasts now?

Yeah I think it's POIson/POLE as in shaft like a needle, put together to make it sound like the colour purple!

As to the other thing, just about an hour ago I finished my 9 hour soft reset hell:

I don't think the game needs to fall for Illusion 100% of the time for it to be worth it, plenty of abilities and attacks have no practical application in the campaign. What the heck is Magnet Pull going to be doing for you in PvE? What about Aura Break? Minus???

Actually I've had the a few fights in the game for me make a few switches that surprised me a lot. Hau in general did it a few times.

Aurora Veil on its own sold me. I already went through the painstaking process of making a snow warning vulpix with moonblast and freeze dry in sun and now I want to make a team around it. Any ideas? Someone in the discord was saying something like rotom-heat is needed to stop scizor from completely walling.

If we're talking VGC18, arcanine is a sublime tank/support and could probably still destroy mega scizor

Would someone be willing to trade me a Naughty Pheromosa with a nickname of my choice if I caught and traded them a Buzzswole or Kartana of their desired nature and nickname/no nickname? Not being able to hoard Pheromosa is my main regret of getting Ultra Sun instead of Ultra Moon, even if I'm still happy with my choice.

Got any fun other breedjects? But yeah I can do that if you like.
Edit: what's the nickname by the by?

Ha, well, I haven't found Ultra Jungle or Ultra Forest yet. I've got a phione I'm going to breed once I can see its IVs. Not like Phione is very good in battles, but it might be fun to try to make them as good as they can get.

Whatever you'd like to give me! Just make it something you like with a cool nickname! My FC is 2036-7315-1628!

I'm going to catch a bunch of Xurkitree with decent-to-great natures and send them out on Christmas, I think. A very Ultra Beast Christmas tree.

My question is: should I nickname them all Aluminum, or at least SOMETHING relating to artificial Christmas trees?

If only Charlie Brown could fit.

And you played with the EXP Share on at all times, I imagine, because being level 65 at that point is not normal without heavy grinding.

I was still sitting around level 54-57 at that point and I never turned it off. 65 seems high.

my gf loves pokemon go and is unbelievably hyped for let's go eevee and tbh if it has the same leveling mechanic and i can go out and level my dudes while running/cycling in the park i'm all for it

she was even happier when she realized she could transfer her favorite arcanine to her switch, they definitely found their market for this

Replace arcanine with vaporeon and this is exactly my experience. I am not hype per say, but I have no qualms with playing this with my girlfriend since we've been playing PoGo anyway

Thanks is there a list anywheres of what Pokémon to wait before evolving? Searching online just mentions Go

Traditionally, any stone evolution doesn't learn much after evolution. Nidoking doesn't get poison jab, Arcanine doesn't get much of anything, etc. That's just from memory though.

Obvious exception to the rule is Eevee (except-except flareon who gets nothing even though it should)
