PKHex now can unlock all clothing and add festival coins.
Is there any reason to even take the free plaza levels that come from having 9999 coins?

>>30142315
basement

Is the Elite 4 the best levelling spot? I've been killing mons near the Battle Tree and that's seems to work well.

Also: Put this shit in the description too guys it's not that hard.

How can I reset EVs?

does stuff like sap sipper absorb z moves too?

>>30142398
Grow the shit out of EV lowing berries

>>30142268
someone?

>>30142268
UBs are only catchable after the League

>>30142615
yeah the UBs are postgame

>>30142561
where do i PLANT the berries?
not in the berry grove? is it in one of those bottom screen icon thingies- the plaza or the pelago or whatever?

>>30142671
Pelago. Get the berry growing island and upgrade the fuck out of it

Does macho brace exist in this game? I'd like a little EV help before the grind to get all the other EV training items.

>>30142561
god fucking dammit

Which Pokecenters have the Specialty Ball seller?

>>30142705
k. ty anon.

Just finished the league, who the fuck is the guy who gives you Sharpedo rider?

When it reaches 252 will he let me know?
I don't want Null sitting in there doing nothing cause I can't tell if he's done or not.
I don't remember how many EVs he had prior to putting him in again.

>>30142561

What berries?

>>30142753
route 2 I believe, and theres another one idk where

Besides amulet coin and fishing up pearls, how can I money grind?

>>30142777
Grimsley. He was the Dark-type E4 member of Unova.

>>30142813
Wasn't he a different colour in that game? No wonder I didn't recognise him. Does he turn up at the Tree or something later?

>>30142789
You can control Null's nature with Synchronize right? Does it comes with some max IVs or is it treated like a random pokemon?

>>30142808
Kelpsey, Tomato, Grepa, Hondew, Pomeg, Qualot

How do you use the QR scanner in the pokedex? I can't find this shit anywhere

>>30142843
Yeah, he wore a black suit in his original appearance. Guess he wanted to shake things up on his vacation.

And also yes, he's a potential opponent at the Battle Tree.

>>30142882
Dunno sorry.

>>30142906
where do you get them?
berry piles with everything else?
i've noticed i've gotten lum and leppa that way... those were a bit rarer in previous gens i believe.

>>30142882
I don't think you can synchronize, and it comes with 3 guaranteed IVs as its classed as a sublegendary

What does the Strange Souvenir from the supermarket do?

>>30142934
I believe specific berry trees give out a select few berries so you might wanna check serebii on that

>>30142966
Nothing, it's a souvenir.

Bump for this

>>30142966
Waste your money because you get a free one later.

So is there an easy/best way to get bottle caps?

I caught the Nihilego at the Volcano, am I still able to get the one in Diglett's cave? It hasn't shown up yet.

>>30143065

You only get the one at either spot, not both.

>>30143065
Only one

>>30143046
Pray to get one from the lottery or collect shards from Pelago.

>>30142974

Kelpsey -not listed
Tomato -Royal Avenue
Grepa -not listed
Hondew -Route 10
Pomeg -not listed
Qualot -Route 10

>>30143115
>4 kartana
what the fuck

>>30143098
I've found Kelpsy berries on Ula'ula Island. I think the free sample guy at the discount market can randomly give you some each day as well.

>>30142981
>>30143042
Thanks.
There's also that girl in the Battle Royale building that says something about your mons giving effort, what's that about?

>>30143115
Don't you get 2 Xurkitree?

>>30143143
you do, yes

my bad

Does the Horsea line no longer get Sniper as an ability? I've been breeding them left and right and they've only been Swift Swim after about 15 or so eggs.

HOLY SHIT

XURKITREE

"CIRCUITRY"

DUDE

What's the deal with the desert? I've never visited it once. Now that I have, the lay out seems to be confusing me.

>>30143158
If the mother has Swift Swim it's only a 20% chance to get Sniper unless this has changed, guess you're just unlucky

i have pokemon moon and i really want clothing in the beige colorway but its not purchase-able or dye-able is there any way besides trying your luck to buy it off of someone from the festival plaza.... if i can find anyone wearing anything beige at all....

so is there a character from the non mega timeline in sm? I remember reading that

>>30143186
it's intentionally mazelike

the only things of worth in there are psychium z and a comet shard

>>30143158
I think you're just massively unlucky

>>30143115
>>30143133
4 pheromosa too

Is Golisopod's Emergency Exit mandatory, or can I "switch" into itself?

>>30143115
depends on version i got 4 phermosa and 2 xurkitree in moon

>>30143210
>>30143216
I'm just gonna delete that

it's wrong af

How do you get to that sea cave below route 3 on melemele?

>>30143215
mandatory, activates like you used a volt switch type move

>>30143195
Can you get someone to show up via friend code and buy it from them like that?

Is there any way to change a pokemon's Hidden Power

>>30143115
>>30143150
4 pheromosa as well.

>>30143205
Well I do need the Psychium Z to finish off the set, plus more money from the Shard would be nice. I also see a TM beyond some rocks near the one NPC in the area.

Is there a map or a layout somewhere?

>>30143230
There's a hidden cave entrance you can crawl through on the left side of the flower field.

>>30143254
is it like the rando plaza people where they randomly offer you one item of clothing?

>>30143191
>>30143208
I see. I'll go a little while longer, but I'm becoming increasingly convinced they removed it as an ability for them.

>>30143243
Well that seems pretty fucking useless on such a slow pokemon, where he'll take a hit and then switch out before i get to attack. Why would I want that?

>>30143272
no

I recently caught Pokerus on an Emerald cartridge. Is there a way to get it to my copy of Sun now or do I need to wait for the Pokebank update in January?

Does buying the Sinnoh Orbs or the Plates in the Mele Mele Mall trigger anything?

>>30143281
Probably, but it seems you can register them as VIP so they'll stay like that until the day they offer you what you want.

>>30142789
Surely somebody has EV trained even one stat after all this time.

>>30143295
dang that sucks

my nihilego has a really useless one (rock)

>>30143294
its built around first impression, also it gets sucker punch so u get the priority then it switches out on hit so u can get the priority again

>>30143225
I'll try, but I might get it wrong as fuck too..

Both:
1 nihilego
1 guzzlord
2 zirkutree

sun:
2 buzzwole
4 kartana

moon
2 celesteela
4 pheromosa

did i get it right?
and i think 1 of everything else...

Is it possible to get purple or violet hair for the female player character and if so how?

>>30143340
No, the closest thing would be wine red, which you get after beating the game

>>30143324
y would u run hp on a nihiligo anyway

>>30143355
hp ice so you don't get fucked up by garchomp or other ground types

How do I get all of the battle poses in Sun?

>>30143355
Its coverage is pretty shit

best way to make money / exp before beating e4?

Doing island scan and horsea is at kala'e bay. Do I surf or fish?

>>30143347
fug, that's really disappointing
will have to stick to pink brown for now then
thanks for the answer

>>30143355
4x weakness to Ground and the only answer it has is Grass Knot, which isn't very reliable.

>>30143381
>get the event munchlax
>train it
>keep happy hour
>amulet coin (found behind a truck near the ranch on the second island)
>???
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvHuQ4QoRyU

>>30143381
Get the mystery gift Munchlax that comes with the move Happy Hour and Amulet Coin. Both of them double prize money and their effects stack, so have Munchlax use Happy Hour in a battle while holding the amulet coin to get 4x the cash.

I'm sitting on 300k between doing the Ghost trial and storming the Aether building using this method and I even skipped some trainers.

Should I drop toxic spikes?

I just got to Malie City, but only after struggling with Olivia and Hau. Team is currently;
>Incineroar 34
>Lycanroc (m) 32
>Phantump 28
>Kangaskhan 28
>Gyarados 28
>Wimpod 26

I made sure to raise all of their affections to 5 for the bonuses it gives, and so far Lycanroc has been my star. Gyarados hasn't been useful, likely due to a shit nature and no STAB moves yet.

I just reached Malie City. What should I do with my team? Lycanroc is a staple, and I want Golisopod, but the others have been hit or miss way too much.

>>30143421
>>30143429
but there's no way to re-match trainers like ORAS

>>30143456
Stick with Gyarados for two more levels and it gets Aqua Tail. Wimpod evolves at Lv 30, but it seems you'll have some overlapping types so just keep that in mind.

At the end of the island I believe the Kahuna you face has Pokemon whose levels are in the late 30s, just to give you an idea of the levels on this island.

>>30143448
>toxic spikes
>haze
>in-game
cmon lad

>>30142174
so dark-type really is more darkness and less plain evil now since the z-move, huh?

>>30143467
Have another team member hold the coin and put a focus sash on the munchlax. Let it get hit once, use the move, switch it out next turn.

i know it may be silly to ask but if anyone is willing to do this i can trade u a 6 iv shiny foreign ditto, i dont have pkhex (obviously or this clothing thing wouldnt be an issue) but obviously this ditto is hacked in lol
the items i would want you to be wearing are:
tank top - beige
casual shorts - beige
sport sneakers - multi beige
messenger bag - beige
beach hat - beige
please respond if you are interested reply to this with your friend code and add me at 2449-5135-2540 and thanks in advance to anyone who offers
itd be a major help to me <3
pic related is the outfit in moon's sad grey version haha i dont actually dislike it i just dont want it in grey

>>30143448
From a comp sense? Scald and Toxic/Spikes are pretty redundant together, unless the enemy has a troublesome Poison type, but you shouldn't be using Toxapex if that's what you're dealing with.

For in-game? It does not matter. Use what's fun to you.

>>30143510
Haze was an egg move, thought toxic spikes might be useful. Toxic it is.

>>30143467
Did you fully explore every area and battle every trainer already? If not, there may be some trainers you can still extort.

so im at route 17 and i haven gone to the desert yet.
should i do that before or after i do whatever i need to do here?

Am I the first to report that if your pokemon levels up you can't refresh it after battle?

Like brushing it or drying it.

>>30143508
Well I guess it's time to rush Wimpod to 30. Just gotta find me something easy to kill with a shitty bug type move.

Good to know Gyarados is close to having a worthwhile move other than Bite. I was getting worried enough to box it, despite Gyarados being one of my favorites since Gen 1.

>>30143552
For now there's only PsychicZ in the desert, it's not important otherwise.

this is probably super dumb but if you go through the sunne/moone altar portal while doing the looker quest, shouldn't you be able to get the opposite version exclusives? Or does the portal not open till after that?

>>30143584
>shouldn't you be able to get the opposite version exclusives?
Is this actually how it works? I thought it was just a cosmetic night/day change and the Cosmog.

I kind of want to run a all bug team after seeing how rad Scuba spider is.

>>30143580
cool thanks. i just assumed they would point me there eventually, and i was getting nervous because i'm pretty far now.

>>30143577
Garydos eventually becomes cancerous again with DD, Aqua Tail and Crunch, sticking with it almost trivializes the end of the game.

>>30143610
I'm probably going to do a mono-bug at some point, there's so many fun options

>>30143624
Even later it's just one of the optional legends, it's probably the worst desert so far.

>>30143605
I dunno, I didn't try it myself, I feel like someone would have said something if it wasn't just some kind of cosmetic thing.

What's the best nature for a jangmo-o?

>>30143204
bump for this

>>30143650
>85 speed
Probably Adamant

Can my pokemon evolve from poke pelago? Either from isle evelup and level boost drink, or for friendship based pokemon from isle avue? Or do I need to take them out and gain a level with them after?

>>30143639
The pokerider makes having fun teams so much easier.

>>30143566
Shit, fuck.
I meant if it EVOLVES.

More of a general question, but how do I attain EVs again? Does simply encountering any given pokemon count, or do I need to defeat them?

How do you change the way you throw a Pokeball?

>>30143774
The Pokemon has to be defeated to yield EVs. The EVs are dependent on the Pokemon KO'd. Power items were buffed to +8 instead of +4 in this generation.

>>30143700
it gets ddance don't forget
and 100 base spA that you could at least use for fire blast

>>30143788
Trash plant on third island, you have to revisit trial leaders to unlock the different styles.

I know you can't find them in the wild, but does Pikachu with a cap have the same 5% chance of having a Light Ball on it as normal Pikachu? Do Mega Evolutions have wild held items programmed on them?

How the fuck do I upload battle videos?

Is that not a thing anymore?

Is there anywhere I can get a lucky egg?

>>30143890
Go talk to Kukui in his lab postgame with 50 pokemon registered in your Pokedex, he just hands it to you. Then you can just leave the room and come back to get the Substitute TM.

How do I get full moon lunala?

Is it possible to catch a HA Slowpoke in route 1?

>>30143940
There is a chance through SOS battles.

>>30143774
I just got done watching this and I think it does a pretty good job explaining the changes and optimal methods for EV training in S/M
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSZMwGUKSM8&index=1&list=LLmaGTyFEWqwVVyjeTsH8gNQ

Why can I not find Comfei in this god forsaken jungle?

>>30143985
I feel you. I'm currently trying to get the god damn monkey.

so what was the deal with that tauros in the art being a different color?

was that just a miscolor?

>>30144001
I caught a spooky monkey then they show up every other encounter now.

Physical or Special Minior? I like the sound of Shell Smash Acrobatics for Battle Tree.

>>30144017
ALOLA forms for the next patch.

>>30144020
I ran into Comfei and Pinsir each once, caught them, and haven't run into them again since, while still looking for Passimian. I don't even like Passimian, just gottacatchemall.

Alright Question general, here's my team in order of how much I love them:

Alola Muk
Magmar
Alola Raichu
Araquanid
Bewear

I had Alola exeggutor but it's just not working out.
Currently I have Solgaleo cause I felt bad boxing nebby straight away.

But what 6th pokemon should I get? Maybe Ice Sandslash or The dragon fighting thing.

>>30143940
yeah i got mine there
took about 40 chains

Does the island scan only yield one pokemon each time you use it?

>>30144099
Yes, so pick your island carefully

When should i evolve volpix into ninetales?

How do I make a QR code for my team?

How exactly do damage scalers work in this game?

Are they applied iteratively or all on the base damage?

I fought against elite 4 Olivia and her Carbink.
I used Bruxish with Strong Jaw and Odd Incense.

Psychic Fangs (85) + STAB + Strong Jaw + Odd Incense heavily outpowered
Aqua Tail (90) + STAB + Super Effective

I wonder if it even makes sense to carry Aqua Tail if Psychic Fangs are stronger neutral than Aqua Tail if it's super effective.

around what level do you fight the elite 4?

>>30144199
it ranges from ~55 to 58.

>>30144224
>>30144199
I barely scraped by with level 48-50s and savescumming

>>30144199
I'd say 50-55.
Depends on how many repels you used in the last two areas. Because I'm sure you will.

Where can I get a Magnet?

Wanna give one to Charjabug already.

>oops I forgot to save before the battle
>that's ok because I'm going to win anyway
he did
many times

>>30144246
>want to round out my levels before E4
>everything before it gives like 600xp still

>>30144268
I was gonna make a joke about having magnets on my fridge but that's like a shit joke.

I don't know about the in game item though. Maybe there's like in game fridges.

If I breed a pink Minior will it's babies also be pink?

>>30144271
Guzma?

>>30144271
how did you lose to him, he had 3 eeveelutions

>>30144351
Morimoto

took my 3 dragon dances, a devastating drake, and 3 outrages to finally put a crack in the armor

Rate my team, just about to do the Water Trial on the second island.

Snorlax
KPop Starter
Magnemite
Rock Pupper
Bagon
Alolan Slimer

What will wreck my shit and how should I improve it?

>>30144389
dragonite bro, it was faster than everything on my team and the type match ups were not in my favor, it was able to 1 hit everything

Is there any way at all to get a specific facility you want in the Festival Plaza?

I've been looking all over for someone with a purple dye shop.

>>30144400
Give Snorlax the Confide TM, debuff it to hell.

>>30144400
pretty good for 2nd island, or maybe just in general.
water trial wasnt that hard for me and i had the fire starter. i think i killed i with snorlax and cutiefly if i recall correctly. can't even remember what i had, i think i had rock dog and evee but those were useless.
it never heal pulsed me with the summons like i did for some though so i had a pretty easy go at it.

Where can I grab a White Herb?

Advice on a good way for a shitter to get BP for Destiny Knot and power items?

>>30144521
Time to lose 144 Battle Royals!

So the legendary you catch is shiny locked. What about the one given to you? I want blood moon bat.

>>30144515
Cry me a river, you always had to deal with the battle facility to get specific items, this time is no different

>>30144620
To be fair, Destiny Knot was usually given away. You could even find it through Pickup, I believe.

>>30143275
Its also where you find tapu bulu.

>>30143337
This is correct

Should I wait to get Thunderbolt to evolve Pikachu or at Discharge?

>>30144603
Shiny locked. As is everything else you think might be.

Where the fuck do you get the substitute TM? The guides are telling me in the pokecenter in Ula'ula island but it's not there.

Looking fpr tm for shadow claw in lush forest, anyone know where it is exactly?

>>30144620
Previous battle facilities started off with NFE shitmon, so I could futz my way through with my ingame team. I'm not even postgame and Battle Royal is surrounding me in megas and shit.

I can't git gud enough for this :'^(

>>30144691
Raichu has an exclusive Z-move that works off Thunderbolt. If you care about that, wait.

>>30144763
Through the tree in the left of the north area.

>>30144691
i'd evolve at dischange
you can get a thunderbolt tm anyway

Is sun or moon more canon when it comes to the actual story with nebby? I don't know what version to get yet

>>30144831
what do you mean? its the same game just it evolves one way or the other

>>30144831
>more canon
Wut m8?
Neither.

Where's a good place to train before the e4, there's no real victory road in this game.

Should I just bully ice types until I'm good?

>>30144798
No, that's the tm for grassknot.

>>30144873
Right, was going from memory. Shadow claw isn't even in lush forest.

>>30144763
you can just buy it at a Pokemon Center.

>>30144763
Konikoni pokemon center.

>>30144856
You don't need to be that high levelled to beat them, they're not as challenging as some of the other games. Which is a let down considering how some of the Totem fights have been the most difficult in the series.

>>30144922
Most of my team is <50 because I switched them up late in the game.

>>30144941
You can probably struggle through at 50, low 50's is probably good enough.

Alola ninetails vs Alola Sandslash

Which one is objectively better?

>>30144268
Held by wild Nosepass and Probopass (5%).

Just beat the first totem Pokemon and no one has said anything about Pokemon obeying me at a certain level... Can I just grind in this game and use my greninja already?

>>30145001
You have to beat the Kahuna's to get the pokemon to obey you

>>30145023
Ohhhhhhhhh I thought I read somewhere that those were optional battles and the trials are the main thing now

>>30144922
I wiped the floor with every totem I guess my team just had an advantageous diversity

>>30144941
Yeah there's really nowhere to train besides the routes you should be going through now. Get your team to 50-55 you should be good.

>>30145038
Captain's are optional battles, Kahuna's are the end of each islands trial

>>30144909
>>30144900
You are correct, sorry.

>>30145073
My phone keeps adding apostrophes, forgive me

Is there any other way I can get a Dawn Stone before the end game or is there way I can get a Froslass?

Do Sun & Moon have any special Ribbons, like in the Battle Tree or other places? I like collecting them.

>Cosmoem
>130Def/130SpDef
>Can hold Eviolite
>Cosmic Power to boost Def and SpDef further

It just needed one other move Game Freak. One other move and it would've been a gimmicky but fun Pokemon.

>>30145096
Pelago. The cave island, don't remember what it is called, but you need it to be rank 2.

Did they change something about breeding? I've been breeding two Stuffel with Cute Charm (HA) for 30 eggs now, and Cute Charm is the ONLY thing the babies have been getting instead of either normal ability.

>>30145135
Ah fuck I just got to Poni Island and I only have 5 Pokemon in my box. Should I even bother?

Actually shit, can I even get Snorunt this early?

>>30145165
Never mind, finally got one with Fluffy, holy shit.

>>30145171
Snorunt is in Tapu Village, so yeah.

If you want to fill your boxes just do some breeding

>>30145165
They may have increased the likelihood of parents passing on the ability, though I'm not sure myself.

>>30145171
Yeah, Tapu Village, 20% chance

>>30145262
>>30145249
>mfw I want to get that sweet froslass
>gotta catch a bunch of pokemon

can i only use the cave once a day? ill probably catch two of those annoying ass birds and just stick them in the nursery

Can you do ANYTHING at the berry fields on route 2 or is all planting done at pelago?

if i catch a female with a beast ball and breed, will the ball be the same for the baby?

I take it you can't change your skin colour after you choose it?

I just can't decide if I should get the tan or not

>>30145477
Get tan

noob to raising competitive pokemon

how does EV battling work? like when you kill a pokemon over and over for its EV.

I'm trying to EV train a level 1 pokemon. is getting the experience good enough? or does it have to actually be in the battle? because it can't kill anything at the moment.

>>30145283
Yeah, it takes them 24 hours to finish searching, so once a day.

You can use beans to speed it up, though. Enough beans means 12 hours instead of 24.

>>30145506
I guess this goes without saying but the chances are really low right?

I think I might actually get it quicker by just completing the league

Anyone have the updated Pickup chart?

>>30145527
I don't know how it works exactly, I think it is even chances for each type of stone, which would make it 1/15 chance, but I don't know how many you get in that one run.

How do I get more PC boxes?

Is there a mushroom collector this gen? Or do you just sell them to the shops?

>>30145694
put one pokemon in each of the boxes you have, then leave the PC and come back in. repeat until you have all 32 boxes

is there a way to fix this? ive only been able to register one vip so far and i really want to hold onto this guys 5 star facility

Is there anywhere to see the team you beat the E4 with besides that guy who just lists off your the team?

How do I quickly evolve Igglybuff?

I've been trying to get a Politoed to spawn for about an hour now but nobody is calling it. I have all the requirements for it, am I just really unlucky or something? Serebii doesn't have S.O.S weather encounter rates. Is it this bad with Castform and Goomy?

Up to which point do I have to play to get event munchlax?

>>30142174
If I want to get a tangela and is not in this image, how to do?
is this where the QR code things come in play?

>>30146496
Tangela isn't in the Alolan dex or Island Scan retard.

So when I'm chaining SOS pokemon of the same species, does the chain break if I kill the original?

In this case I'm chaining geodudes to get one with Galvanize.

>>30143706
They can't evolve from PokePelago or Festival Plaza's level up food.
>>30144071
Some Flying/Levitate mon would be cool. Maybe try Flygon?

Zero hours, just start the game, save, quit, then go to Mystery Gift on the main menu.

Is there any way to get a bulbasaur into Sun right now via trade or whatever(also no hack obviously) ? It's been many years since I played a pokemon game so don't hate me if I'm missing something.

>>30146590
nope, Bank transfers will be allowed in January

wait so I can't evolve my misdreavus until the last island?

Is there no way of getting a dusk stone earlier?

Can anyone here tell when or how crabrawler evolves?

>>30146663
Third island, level it up on the ice mountain

>>30146606
get lucky and get one from the poke pelago

>>30146606
Start Pelago as soon as possible, get Isle Aphun to rank 2 as soon as possible, fill box with beans, check back every 12 hours hoping for the stone you want.

I read that the fastest way to get bottle caps is to run the shard treasure trail on the pelago, but from my two runs, I've only gotten 2-3 shards each run.

Am I doing something wrong? the pelago was only level 1 & I used beans to halve the time.

Also, does anyone have any idea how quickly beans grow on the level 3 beanstalk island?

>>30146663

Mount Lanikila that opens up after you finish the story and challenge the league on top it. The ice path beneath the summit has a large icy rock, level it up there. Also catch a Drampa while you wait.

>>30146690
Obviously if you level up your mining island to 3 you'd get more shards...

>>30146711
Thanks, do you have an estimate as to how many shards you get each run at lv 3?

Where to get the items that up bug / ice and fairy moves?

>>30146723
Ice is from the old lady at the route before Sophocles trial, the one who asks you to get all her stuffuls.

Don't really remember where I got the bug one and haven't gotten the fairy yet

I don't really want to grind but I suppose I'll get my ass kicked going in with level 44s and 45s.

At level 100 you can hyper train it to max IVs. But the nature will always be shit.

>>30146911
following up to say it does activate if anyone else was wondering

Is there any website/post/thread where i can find Strategys/Movesets for the new Pokemon for competitive?

>>30146896
Rockruffs defense is mostly from typing.

Do wild pokemon always have their latest possible moves?
I need to get freeze-dry on a smeargle to breed it with vulpix, but it seems like the only way to do that is catch a snorunt, evolve it, fight against a smeargle who calls sos so I can kill one and the other one can sketch it, so my own smeargle can sketch that one.

You can't sketch your own partners in double battles anymore?

>>30147187
I think you still can, but other pokemon are obnoxious.
whatever ends up being faster.
It's still a pain in the ass, I'd like to get my perfect vulpix as early as possible and now I have to wait until island 4 even though I can get vulpix on island 3.

How do you grind for money after beating the game? The E4 only gives 100k per run at best.

Where do you get EV reducing berries? I have a few but not all of them
Also where do you get Porygon?

Is Rest still choosed by Sleep Talk?

>>30147221
Are you using both coin/incense and Happy Hour? That should be more than 100k.

Still not nearly as much as the opower boosted haul you could get before, unfortunately.

So you only have box space for 960 mons, plus six in your team and those at the day care, right?

Is there a guide where I can see where to evolve certain mons, like crawbrawler?

Gladion, Nona or the Skull lady boss?

Hope you like Delibird, I don't think you get any other ice pokemon for a while.

So anyone know if I can chain Lycanrock Midnight form in sun to get a shiny one?

Might be the hardest thing to ever do.

Where the fuck is TM 21 and 27? It says the Malasada shop but Oranguru isn't there.

>>30147352
Fuck Pokémon Bank. I want to play the game without relying on some shitty subscription service that takes me out of the game and wastes five minutes just to transfer some stuff.

I also take it that they won't improve that shitty service compared to its gen VI version. Pokémon Stadium had better search functionality than Bank.

No, I don't have homebrew for whatever free Bank replacement someone might have built.

Finished my first playthrough.

I feel like my team was lacking, I wish there was a mode where you can restart but keep all the pokemon you caught. Like they put them in a box that can't be used until you defeat the E4, that way you get access to them after finishing the story.

>>30147392

It showed up in the post-game for me, not sure if that's what triggers it

>>30147401
Pokebank

>>30147413
I'd gladly pay them if Bank was integrated into the games and if it gave me proper search functionality (even the base game is better at this). The way they built it I can't even use the touchscreen to move my mons around.

It's not that I can't afford it, I just won't pay for a shitty service.

What's the best egg route?

>Gladeon battle out of nowhere

Battles so far haven't been difficult, but at least they've taken me by surprise.

I need your expertise, /vp/. How do you know if whatever you are chaining as a hidden ability? Catch it and hope for the best? Is there any pokemon in alola who can use an ability like Trace to know the wild pokemon's ability without catching it? Or an ability like Frisk to know if a wild pokemon is holding something, without catching it first?

>>30144831
Nebby is such a girly name, it fits Lunala better.

Carbink can learn Skill Swap, I think Abra line can too.

Is it just me or is it a fuck-tonne harder to run away from wild pokemon now? Seems I have to endure at least 1-2 turns of "Couldn't escape!"

Fucking bullshit.

>>30147539
never encountered that

>>30147539
Lots of Pokemon are slow now.

>>30147539
It's because fleeing is based on speed and all Alola mons are slow as shit.

Event pokemon like munchlax are still once per save file, right? I want to restart, but not lose the munchlax.

How early can you get to the move relearner? I know its at the elite 4 pokecenter but please tell me it isnt like locked to pretty much the post game....

>>30147728
once per cart from what i've heard.

>>30147724
why do so many people complain about crab and bug evos being endgame when you could just get someone else to do it?

>>30147751

Is there anyway to stop an S.O.S Chain? I'ver currently got 7 Delibirds in a row, just trying to catch one for the fucking dex but everytime i faint one it summons a new one.

I swear Delibird has the shittest capture rate going. 3 ultra balls and 2 great balls when its on 1hp,

He truly looks like a Faba bean.
