currently trying to choose which pokemon i'm going to leave uncleaned and see if i can get a nice stack going

Love that if they get hit with sand attack, after battle theyre fuckin covered in sand. Like cleaning up your lil kids after a soccer game

just caught a cyndaquil with the island scanner thing. its really rare to see a wild starter so ive never known how tricky they were to catch.... false swiped him down to 1hp and it still took like 10 balls to get him

It has a brand new move this gen too:

To inflict massive damage, the user burns itself out. After using this move, the user will no longer be Fire type. 130BP

Rustys guide to getting abras of every nature (theoretical because I assume breeding works the same as OR/AS):

1. Get a pokemon with Flame Body or Magma Armor ability (fletchinder on route 8 or level up a fletchling)

2. Get a Friendly Goon to trade you any male abra (optional but breeding pokemon from different trainers gives eggs faster)

3. Catch a female abra with Synchronize (females have 80% chance of passing down their ability)

4. Breed thise two bad boys, run around and hatch all the eggs with your flame body pokemon on your team. Good luck.

I been reading around about poke breeding and I think the only mechanic I don't get is IVs. Are they just random at birth/catch, outside of the ones that get passed down from the parents?

Yea. Every game has a way to catch pokemon with a number of IVs at 31 though, in this game its SOS battles. I think they can get up to 4 perfect IVs

If you use the destiny knot when breeding, 5 of the 6 IVs will be passed down from the parents. Which 5 stats and which parent is random. The last IV is random

SOS battles are the ones where they call in reinforcements right?

Yeah. Supposedly every time a pokemon is called in the same battle, it has a higher chance of having one or more perfect IVs, and its hidden ability

So I screwed up the first step, should have caught a female with perfect IVs first and then given her destiny knot and bred with male with the nature I want holding an everstone

It doesnt matter which parent has the good IVs. Each inherited IV does a coinflip to see which parent it comes from

It takes a while but it feels good to do all the breeding stuff right and then EV train properly and level up and learn the right moves and use the good TMs and give it a good nickname then finally you are extremely out of bubblegum

It used to be but you can use EV training hold items to max out specific stats without worrying who you fight

Not totally true. When holding them you get 8 EVs of the corresponding stat no matter what pokemon you fight, but you still get the EVs of the pokemon on top of that. So you still wanna fight the right ones

Yeah true, I forgot to mention that but I read it. Btw do you know what's up with the guy who will max your IVs with a bottle cap. I read online that this doesn't actually do anything to the math, it will just increase the numbers on he stats page without doing anything. Is that true?

From what I read, it gives a permanent boost to the stat to make it equivalent to a 31 IV. So for battle purposes it should be exactly like having a 31 IV, but it will pass down your original IV when breeding and won't change your Hidden Power type

Nintendo doesnt like change so instead of overhauling the system they just add things to make it easier. I havent done it yet but it looks like EV training is more painless this gen than any before, at least

Or like 75...is there a PvP meta? Is it level 100 for all the EV, IV and Nature math to be worth it -_-

If you go online or do whatever the postgame battle thing is, it usually scales you down to 50. Not sure in this game tho

You are forced to fight Tapu Koko after the Elite 4/Champion battle and the other Tapus are optional after that. Postgame also unlocks a questline that will have you hunting the UBs. Dunno about the Tapus but the UBs still stay in place after you faint them so the quest only progresses after you catch them.

Can you get to a pc between the E4 / tapu koko?
