Pokémon Sun/Moon - Nov 18, 2016

[Rooney]

Well, amazon finally delivered my games... to somewhere else. None of the apartment complexes around me have it, so I'm not sure where the hell they could have delivered it that remotely resembles my address.

[Drai]

Anyone know the best way to increase pokemon friendship for evolving purposes, trying to evolve Type: Null but his ass won't evolve, i've used him enough to go from level 40-70 off level 55-60 wild pokemon, his poke refresh hearts are maxed, I tried the trick where you teach TM moves over and over for 30+ minutes straight but none of that is working D: every referance I can find says he evolves through friendship, but if that's not actually the case please let me know.

Also

Spoiler: show

Post game trying to get that hidden cosmog, every referance says to go into the portal during the day in moon or during the night in sun, but is there an exact real world time for that? I've tried between noon to midnight local time with no luck, not sure what it wants from me D:

soothe bell, feeding those food things

[Voyage1970]

The Friendship Palor or Cafe in Festival Plaza has a meal plan that pretty much maxes out friendship in 2 meals if you have that booth. I think it's like 20FC each. Also Soothe Bell apparently doubles the friendship gains from meals as well so maybe try that?

[Souj]

I just caught a tauros and the pokedex display showed it having an evolution?

Serebii doesn't list it and
I couldn't find anything on it by googling.

[Voyage1970]

It's Miltank, I guess cause it's like Nidoking/Queen. Male/Female subspecies type deal with it being a Bull and a Cow.

[Souj]

Ah. Thanks.

[Leashedragon]

Seriously? I never knew that. They're so... different. I was wondering why the farm had Taurus with Miltanks. Miltanks I understand.

You can visit other people's Festival Paza right? Figured it was this gens feature like having friends opened different pokemon patches in XY through that place. I have one of the Parlors and an EV training place I'd love to share.

Thank christ Hyper training is a thing. Got my Adamant Solgaleo and it has perfect IVs in everything except Speed.....which is a 1.

Have people determined the best way to level up yet? Or are we back to the old school fight the League over and over again method?

Honestly I've tried going through the league a couple of times, but it seems faster to spam the grass outside the battle tree, my team is around level 80 right now and chaining the wild mons there has been pretty quick, side note I used the friendship cafe in my festival area and my Type: Null finally evolved, now just to decide which memory plate to give him.

Current team is:
Decidueye
Kommo'o
Toxipex
Lycanroc (Midday)
Vikavolt
and Silvally (Thinking either Psychic memory or Fairy Memory would be bast for balance and coverage)

Randomly ran into and caught a shiny Psyduck. Golduck is my favorite pokemon so I think I've used up all my luck for the next century. It even had a perfect nature and ability.

[Akiyama]

Sick. Grats! Still no shiny here, but we'll see.

[Voyage1970]

Small bit of advice for people doing SOS Chains, you can use a second Adrenaline Orb to skip a turn and it doesn't waste any items.

@Akiyama I have a female Timid Vulpix with it's Hidden Ability and Blizzard that I'm about to breed Moonblast on to and I can teach it Nasty Plot. Freeze-Dry unfortunately isn't available until Bank transfers are unlocked because you need to chain breed it from an Auroros. If you still need/want the Ninetales I can hook you up.

If you could make me one of those, and possibly leave it egged so I can hatch it as the OT, that'd be great.

[Drai]

was messing around and caught a shiny Hakamo-o with its hidden ability :O where do you check IV's in this game?

[Voyage1970]

Once you unlock the Battle Tree and hatch at least 20 eggs (I think?) there is a guy there who will unlock an IV Checker on the PC. It doesn't give specifics just a scale of Shitty > Best but it shows the graph too so you can probably figure it out. Alternatively you can use Serebii's IV Calculator for Sun & Moon.

If you could make me one of those, and possibly leave it egged so I can hatch it as the OT, that'd be great.

I could leave it as an egg but I'd have no guarantee it'd have the Hidden Ability. That's still a crap shoot of 60%. When I have more free time I'll just keep pumping eggs into you until one shows up if you really want it.

Ya it's up to you whether you wanna do that. I could just go catch a bunch of fodder and you could trade over a few eggs that I could go hatch or whatever. Doesn't matter too much though, just want one to level with my main team most of all.

[Drai]

I forget, can you not save before hatching and reload after it's hatched to check the stats/ability on them? does that not work in this game? also thanks for the IV checker link ^^-b
