Pokémon Sun/Moon - Nov 18, 2016

[Yeager]

Has anyone here done much PokePelago? I just started playing with it, and yesterday I had a Modest nature Magnemite come to visit. Now this morning it wants to join my party and there's 2 more Pokemon visiting my PokePelago, a Gastly and a Carbink.

[Drai]

So Ghost trial almost wiped me... used so many revives...

A lot of the trials in this game were actually a bit tough, had a lot of close calls despite my parties levels being at or higher then the trials, first ever full party wipe wasn't until post game though D:

I mostly did it for the beans and shards lol. It's good investment overall though I found so far, upgraded everything fully so seeing what the outcome will be. Having some sitrus and oran berries flowing in could be good, least for main game.

Well, come to find out, that Modest nature Magnemite that joined my party via Poke Pelago has 4 perfect IVs. HP, DEF, Sp. Atk, and Speed. As far as what species comes to visit you, it seems random but from the looks of it, these Pokemon that come to visit you and eventually join you come with at least a few perfect IVs.

Noticing I'm having difficulty. I'll have several levels on something, it won't even be the pokemons weakness.. and one move nearly decimates it. I guess all those years of people complaining they're making it too easy? It's a bit frustrating as I'm so use to easy mode steam rolling through. I already blacked out once at the trainer school, and have had to use items to prevent it from happening again. I -never- have to use items until this game.

Just toss me yours and let me know if you want Male or Female and/or specific nature for Rowlet. I've got 5~ females. Haven't counted.

Edit:
Just unlocked one of the EV training things in my Festival Plaza. Stomp-Stomp House. For HP and Speed training.

[Drai]

I agree with the using items, this was the first pokemon game to legitimately force me to use healing items to prevent blackouts during the main story, and for referance my team was all 60+ when I finished the game, I wasn't underleveled at any point in this game, but you could tell certain trainers had max iv'd ev trained pokemon, unlike other games in the series.

Especially :

Spoiler: show

Red at the battle tree, his level 70 pikachu one shotted my level 68 Kommo'o with fucking volt tackle, "It's not very effective" my ass >.>

[Seravi Edalborez]

So I got on this morning, and my Poke Pelago, for some reason, still says I have like..19 hours left or something til they are back, and I started it like..3 PM yesterday afternoon. Does it countdown while you aren't on the game? or only in game, because that seems like it'd be pretty bad.

It should be ticking while game is off.

Aside, I think it's pretty sad that 10% Zygarde is kind of a wasted design, given that it'll probably be blanket banned from regular Battle Spot just because it's Zygarde. It's also a little too similar stat-wise to day-Lycanroc.

Also all through pre-release I was thinking how dumb Alola Meowth/Persian looked but here I am using it as one of my favorites of the new gen. Refresh really adds a lot of character to mons. Their smug-ass faces just hooked me.

[Omniyoji]

Jeez and I thought I was already making it difficult on myself with non-shift battles and no evolving...

[Katlan]

Hmm I rolled a Hardy Rowlett. I think the neutral is better than rerolling endlessly. Any opinions?

Get any nature that doesn't destroy your preferred attacking stat, nor speed if possible. Neutral is great.

Yeah I fixed it. Dunno why my timer wasn't counting down properly.

[Warudo Ecksu]

done w/grad school till january so time to be a real person again. my fc is 2981 5989 3271 if anyone wants to add me. I just started moon last night =^-^=

[Drai]

So, pretty random but...

Spoiler: show

The reward for catching all the U Beasts was a million bucks, didn't see that coming at all lol, as if the pokemon weren't good enough

[Voyage1970]

For anyone interested in a fast way of egg farming/hatching (not including the Hot Springs in Poke Pelago) use this method:



It doesn't matter how fast you spin as long as the Taurus is still dashing since dashing counts as multiple steps. Trying to breed an Adamant Skill Link Toucannon and even with the lowest possible chance of an egg appearing the longest I've gone was about 1:30 minutes of spinning. Eggs hatch in about 3 minutes even without a Flame Body mon in my team.

[Seravi Edalborez]

I was a little disappointed at no infinite hatching route but uh, that's about the next best thing.

Also if you wanted your outfit in a certain color, seems they are semi-version exclusive. I don't off the top of my head remember which colors are in my actual clothes shops in Sun but for Festival Plaza dye stalls, Sun gets Red Green Orange Purple, Moon gets Yellow Blue NavyBlue and Pink. You can start "recruiting" other peoples' stalls at plaza rank 8, I think it's the first stall in their lineup (immediately right after exiting the castle). Higher ranks of stalls give Dark (3*) and Light (5*) shade options in addition to Pastel.

[Omniyoji]

Hardest fight for me so far was catching Sudowoodo early on... Jesus! Nearly wiped my team

[Kaslo]

Just finished the main story, gotta say this story was much more engaging than any other pokemon game I've played... in fact I almost way to say this would be my favorite JRPG of this year (though Tokyo Mirage Sessions is still up there)

[Akiyama]

Can someone breed me a Timid Ninetales? Alolan version. It's so adorable, and a nice ice type :D

Timid Ninetales with Nasty Plot, Freeze-Dry (learned through breeding), Moonblast (same), and Blizzard is super solid. Freeze-Dry is a nice move. Super effective on water types.

I got lucky and this at least happened to me in a wild battle instead of trainer, so I wasn't stuck spamming moves for 10 minutes.

e: Looks like a video of all(?) clothing options has surfaced. Here's the female version. I'm kinda underwhelmed, no long coat options like XY though I guess that clashes with the climate or something. Oh well. Doesn't include all dye options though, as dark/light shades are through Festival Plaza.
