Dunno, I just spent 34k on some fucking sandles so I won't be a fucking shoobie.

How does this new IV training for bottlecaps thing work? Say I have a pokemon with like 20/31 IVs in speed and 10/31 IVs in attack, but it's Jolly and has the right ability etc.
Can I just train it with these bottlecaps and instantly get 31/31 in each stat? No more breeding with destiny knot/stat items fuckery?

Is 12 hours the fastest I can get the pokemon to come back with stuff from the item cave in Poke Pelago. I desperately need another Ice Stone. And why the fuck doesn't Olivia sell Ice Stones?

>>30108974
It raises stats effectively but not actually.

So the stats are calculated as if you have 31s BUT breeding and hidden power will still pass on the lower stats.

>>30108952
kek, glad im not the only one

Does anyone have a 5 Star Green Dye Tent?

Do nature's matter that much ingame? How about casual online competitive?

>Do nature's matter that much ingame? How about casual online competitive?
Yes, especially in online play.

A nature will raise 1 stat, while lowering the other.

So you can imagine having a Snorlax whose Att. is boosted at the cost of his already nonexistent speed would be beneficial.

WTF is this pokemon Festival shit about? It's fucking creepy, everyone whispers, and you have this cult like greeting when you talk to them? Are these random AI? What the fuck is the point of this...


Also Is there a way to turn off the fucking RotomDex from staring at me in a creepy pedo way? It's distracting as fuck, seeing those two big ass blinking eyes, staring up at me on my 2nd screen... I really hope I can remove the dumb ass eyes at least.

Is the Hau'oli mall postgame?

>Train an Abra untill it evolves
>Still no attacking moves
jesus christ it is already level 18 and all it has is Teleport, Kinesis and Disable wtf

>>30109077
Natures sort of matter in-game. They raise one stat by 20% and lower another by 20% which could turn something from mediocre to unusable or pretty good (the same way IVs can). Online comp: natures and IVs are win/lose stuff.

Been trying to catch a Goomy for the last 45mins or so in Lush Forest.

I heard that it can only appear by the "calling for help" bullcrap while it is raining.

Is rain summoned by based Drizzle Pelipper and/or Rain Dance fine or does it need to be "natural" rain?

(and fuck me if it's natural rain, how can I make it appear?)

When I bought new clothes my trainer's original clothes are gone from my inventory. I tried going back to put the shirt back on but its just disappeared? Anyone else have this happen or know why?

>>30109266
Needs to be raining, go to Route 17 instead.

Goomy is available thru SOS battle there and its raining in the overworld already.

>>30109246
No Magmar is common in sun moon.

Does Synchronize work on SOS chains? I really hope so. Also, does the Pokemon have to be not KOd for it to work?

>>30109285
Just remove your current clothes. It will return to your default one.

Is it possible to get Gastrodon West Sea, or is East Sea the only variant currently?

3. kind of specific, but when you take out lusamine and lillie says shes going to look after her mum back at the foundation, can you visit them there for any extra dialogue. I kinda forgot to go check, and I assume nobody else bothered but I might as well ask.
4. how do i get more beast balls, is there an infinite supply in some form?

How does Pyukumuku work?
Does Innards Out cause equal number damage, if it died with 40 does it deal 40?

But where is it ever stated that her world was destroyed, let alone the entire Gen I - V universe? I keep seeing everyone talk about it actually happening. Maybe I missed it, maybe I skipped through the dialogue too fast, but I haven't found anywhere that explicitly states that the Ultra Beasts destroyed the universe of Gens I to V.

Which is a pretty depressing thought, honestly. It means the past seventeen years were all destroyed by these eldritch monsters.

One thing I'm really curious about with Hyper Training is, since it doesn't raise IVs, is it PC friendly? In older games, when you artificially raise stats without touching EVs/IVs through hax, it'd recalculate to what they're supposed to be before being modified.

I guess what I'm asking is, is it safe to deposit hyper trained Pokemon into a box?

Also did they add any means to find 6v6 singles online or am I still stuck slogging through friend codes/showdown?

I've played since gen 1 and over the last few gens have had less desire to play. I've yet to even beat omega ruby.

The worst part about the cut scenes is not length but the transitions that are very awkward. Lots of cuts to a black screen.

Instead of turning your character back, the roadblocks in SM refresh the screen and teleport you like five steps away.

>>30111937
Try it out, guy.
I think so far, it's better than OR/AS.
It's different, since there's no gyms.

I just can't help but feel like it must have been some headcanon that spread too far and somehow just isn't refuted yet, likely owing to the fact that a lot of people are probably still trying to get through the game (after all, most people do have jobs or school).

This whole subplot raises so many questions. Some major questions that just came to mind is that apparently your player character is a Faller. I'm pretty sure I remember the sub plot talking about how there were three Fallers in the room, referring to Anabel, Looker, and you. Meaning you must have come from an alternate universe as well? And if you're from Kanto, and considering that Gen I will have compatibility with Gen VII and all, does that mean... your player character is actually Red? Or Leaf? But what about the actual Red you see in game?

I'm willing to bring this to its own thread if need be.

>>30111925
timid for sure

>>30112009
You jumped dimensions with the box legend to hit Ultra Space, that makes you a Faller.

The whole destroyed dimension thing is just dumb headcanon no one refuted because almost no one who cares about that sort of dumb lore shit had played the games.

>>30108824
So, how big is this region compared to past ones? Is there a decent post-game? Where the fuck do we get bottlecaps from that aren't given in events?

>>30112009
Not quite.

Remember, you ENTER the Ultra Dimension to stop Lusamine through an Ultra Wormhole. Looker and Anabel fell through one from the Gen I-V universe.

Why is there no red clothing?
I'm playing moon version

>>30112036
Well it and Modest are the two I already had Vulpixes of, so that makes it easy.

>>30112086
Warm colors are Sun only, cool colors Moon only.

>>30112109
God dammit.
This is absurd.

Which shops in the Festival Plaza are the best?

Is the best way to beat the game the first time by just stacking wall mons?

>>30112069
Right, that makes more sense then. So that means the definition of Faller would then just be someone who had exposure to Ultra Wormhole energy, passing through it, passing through Ultra Space somehow, whether voluntarily (to stop Lusamine) or otherwise (as I'm guessing that's how Looker and Anabel ended up here), right?.

>>30112060
I knew it had to be some silly headcanon. I might not be the most attentive person but I still paid enough attention to the subplot's dialogue and I'm almost certain I saw nothing that explicitly stated that the Gen I - V universe is destroyed because of the UBs. I keep seeing that around, with support for this headcanon being stuff like oh, there's nothing strong enough to take on the UBs especially since there's no Mega Evolutions or whatever. Which is dumb because that doesn't even work statistically, yes Megas are strong, but you know what else every region had that can take on any threat? Just regular plain ol' Legendaries!

>>30112086
You need a 5 star dye shop to get red, or you can order from a player in festival plaza.

Does anyone here have one of those yet?

Is there a trick to making special fishing spots appear, or do I just keep re-entering the route?

Pokemon pelago looks interesting, almost like a complete rip-off of Digimon Cyber Sleuth's "Farm Islands", which is a very very good thing.

Do you think gamefreak will eventually introduce items that let you change a pokemon's nature like in cyber sleuth as well? It would make almost all pokemon viable. They're taking good steps forward...

Which version of the game is Trapinch and by extension Flygon catchable in? IGN's list on Google says Moon but the twitter list says Sun and I want to make sure before I commit to one or the other.

Anyone know how much you need to chain a pokemon to get a shiny? or at least the % increase of encountering one?

I'm about 60 sos calls into a fight atm

So I switched the clock using the postgame thing, and after saving and quitting it still shows my Altar and Lake being swapped, but my clock is backwards once again (I'm playing Moon). What's going on here?

>>30112657
Sun has a normal cycle, and Moon is 12 hours apart.

>>30112591
The shiny rate caps out at about 1/500 as the chain approaches around 50~. Dunno the odds with the Shiny Charm.

I honestly had almost no problems playing through it on o3DS, it lagged maybe twice during double battles after using a Z-Move, but that was really about it.

So, Anabel is likely to be from Emeral Hoenn (as the BF doesn't exist in this dimension), but I have a feeling Looker isn't from the original dimension.

What if the Looker in SM is this dimension's looker, and the looker in ORAS who is a faller is still an amnesiac living a life entirely separate of the international police?

how do you get the other starters Z-moves? I only got the one from the starter I picked.

Can the game be played through without using the shoulder buttons? My 3DS is a lil busted up and I couldn't play SMD because of it.

>>30113665
You can't take photos of Pokemon, but yeah.

>>30113665
It's certainly not necessary, I'm playing with L=A on which also disables the R button and haven't missed out on anything

If ultra beast balls can catch normal pokemon, can they also be inherited through breeding?

>>30113665
You miss "minor" things like character rotation, pokefinder, and easier access in menus, some can be done in the touch screen.

>>30113771
You can't take out the camera without R.

>>30113665
>>30113710
You can also use the touch screen for photos.

>>30113665
The only things you need in this game are the circle pad and face buttons.

>>30113781
They can, I got a Japanese beldum with one through wonder trade

>>30113710
you just tap on the touchscreen, my R bumper is busted and that's how i do it

Beat Guzma - Post Game, melemele island, house next to the hotel (to the right)

then go down to the city beach near the beginning of the game and you can battle him there, he will give you a dawn stone if you beat him.

Welp, there goes my hopes of using a Froslass for the elite four. Thanks for the info!

Why do pokemon in SOS battles suddenly seem to faint out of nowhere? I'm not lasting anywhere near long enough for them to struggle, but they're just fainting for no obvious reason.

>>30112936
Well?

>>30113532
Lv 55 to Lv 60 or so.

>>30113862
They attack themselves sometimes, was it that?

>>30113532
I did it at 50-53... I should say that im a fairly competitive battler so most of my pokemon's natures were optimized and I knew what I was doing.

I'd recommend 55

>>30113821
>>30113854
Wait what?

I fucking wandered and trekked through those mountains for a Snowrunt for 2 fucking hours and I won't be able to get a Froslass?

Who's the asshole who came up with this?

>>30113944
I don't think so. I'm fighting Dittos. Had one transform into a Magikarp that only knows splash and tackle. It used tackle on my Mimikyu, which somehow broke the disguise, and died for some reason after the attack ended.

There anything in the desert except the psychic Z stone?

If it's like gen 6, it's completely random with no restrictions

>>30112943
Game Freak made a mechanics change in Gen 7. Every single Pokemon now has one of its Lv. 1 moves duplicated. For example, Toucannon seemingly learns Beak Blast twice at Lv. 1. The new mechanic is that the very first move listed is a move that is automatically learned upon evolution if the Pokemon does not yet have a full move set. For example, if you use the Move Deleter to delete, say, Pluck, on a Lv. 33 Trumbeak, it will automatically learn Beak Blast upon evolving at Lv. 34. If Trumbeak has four moves, though, it will not be offered Beak Blast. Likewise, Trumbeak has Rock Blast as its first Lv. 1 move, and it will learn this upon evolving from Pikipek if it does not yet have four moves. Knowing this, this potentially allows every Pokemon to have access to a good move upon evolution, earlier than might otherwise be possible.

Sounds great, right? Well, Game Freak seemingly made a mistake. This mechanic is overriding level-up moves at the evolution level. As has been noted, Kadabra seems to be the best example. It learns Confusion at Lv. 16. Abra will only have Teleport, so plenty of space, right? The problem is this new mechanic will automatically give Kadabra Kinesis. What is supposed to happen is Kadabra gets Kinesis and Confusion. But this new mechanic is seemingly using the logic of "X instead of Y" when it is supposed to be using the logic of "X in addition to Y." In other words, Kinesis is now overriding Confusion from being learned normally, forcing the usage of the move relearner.

Here's a test... Someone hack an Abra with four random moves, then get to Lv. 16. It should then be offered Confusion upon evolving into Kadabra, and Kinesis won't be offered at all.

So, yes, there is a glitch. But the overall change to the mechanics is intended and in fact beneficial. This also explains why the move deleter is available earlier in the game than usual, and the move relearner is later in the game than usual.

how do I get a full map view in the rotom dex/pokedex? I've down this twice but accidentally and don't know how to toggle and use full map view when I need/want....

Do I encounter the Move Relearner before Pikachu learns Thunderbolt and/or before I get the TM?

Because if so, shouldn't I be able to teach it to Pikachu then and there before the other options?

Has anyone found all the plates yet?

Probably been asked a bunch, but is there any solid post game training / grinding methods?

Does Crobat get a new ability or not?
What should I run on him now? Leech life obviously.

Is there a good way to farm/gather poke beans?

Should I evolve litten?

Reminder that your character is a prodigy.

At age ten (or eleven or whatever) you graduate the fucking trainer school in 30 minutes where as those other kids have probably been there for years. Whenever you battle someone with only 1 or 2 pokemon it's because that's all they are capable of catching.

>>30116076
wrong thread?

You're right though. Being a pokemon trainer is super hard judging by how much difficulty everyone else has. It's just that you're a freak.

>>30115888
Berries respawn each day.

Anyone else black here?

>>30116076
Uh that actually makes me feel good with myself thanks anon

i just made it to mount hokulani and i've been grinding for new pokemon to catch, and i found a cleffa. it called for help and now i have to choose between cleffa and chansey

halp

>>30116175
fuck it, i'm going for the chansey

>>30114497
I found an Ice Plate on Haouli City Beach using Stoutland.
Apparently team skull hijacked the truck that had the rest of the plates. Idk what that means and where to look though

>>30116175
You can get a Happiny easily later on, but Chansey is rare.

How do I teach (/breed) a pokemon the move "wish" in this gen? Can I get a togepi? Or is there a new pokemon which learns it through level up? Or am I fucked without trading from older gens or cheating?

>>30116227
i'll probably just evolve that happiny when i get it, and use this one for trading, unless there's some reason to hang onto it

>>30116228
Depends what the Pokemon is, it needs to breed with something in its egg group that has Wish

Alomomola gets it and then Smeargle can learn it

how do you find your own player records? i can check other peoples in festival plaza but can't find my own.

How do you get Lickitung in this game? Do I need to scan a QR code then trade for it?

I got Moon because I could get it early for Europe standards.

Did I fuck up by not getting Sun?

>>30116275
I never tried to raise a competetive mon before wanted to try it out for the first time and decided to do an umbreon. I looked online and everyone seems to run a wish version of it.

>>30116279
I see, that helps. Even though I guess it will take me some time to get it right, if I've never done it before.

>>30116310
it's personal preference, gts means it's pretty easy to fill in the gaps

the only thing is the day/night cycle is flipped, so it will be night ingame when it's day

You get Mallow.

>>30116319
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-sm/egg/197.shtml#wish

Unfortunately Wish Umbreon is a bit complicated since you either need to use Smeargle or chain breed

If you don't understand the basics of breeding, you breed a female of the mon you want + a compatible male with the move

>>30116319
Ergh I hate breeding something with a 87.5/12.5 split between males and females. You spend most of your time frustrated that you never get a decent female to go with the decent male you have.

>>30116272
>>30116227
and i nabbed a cleffa like 4 encounters after, so i think i made the right choice

Yeah I already looked up how to do it, I just didn't know what the chain had to look like. Thanks though. I think I'm fine now.
