How do I get mega stones like pidgeot and houndoom?

There's no location on them anywhere and I highly doubt they would removed certain ones completely

Say I caught only one NIHILEGO, then told the detective I finished the mission. Can I still catch the other one? I've already stared the ub 02 mission.

is Extreme Evoboost post-game?
also how to get it?

What's the best place to grind postgame? Elite 4?

>>30157604
You can only catch one of them anyways

What should I do now that the boredom's creeping in?

I have the pre release lurantis CIA on my ds. Can I connect to WiFi without getting banned?

this game is great BUT FUCK I'M CONSTANTLY OVERLEVELED TO SHIT NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I SAY OK TIME TO SHELF THIS GUY AND TRAIN A NEW EGG POKEMON SO THIS GAMES INTERESTING BATTLES STAY INTERESTING INSTEAD OF ME ONE SHOTTING LITERALLY EVERYTHING
>exp share
I just wish they had scaled it properly even with EXP share. like... I don't get it. I skip a lot of trainer battles, literally don't fight wild pokemon if I can help it, and I still end up so over leveled.
I need to start using shit mons or something. Anyone have the definitive shit mon list?

>>30157301
how many of each UB can you catch?

What's the catch rate of beast balls? On UBs and regular pokemon.

>>30157709
just turn it off and the game is pretty challenging at times

>>30157709
so you use the Exp. Share or not?

>>30157660
Yes. Go to the supermarket in royal avenue, and talk to the first cashier you see on the left while entering. It's post game, yes.

>>30157744
1 Nihilego (S/M)
2 Buzzwole (S)
4 Pheromosa (M)
2 Xurkitree (S/M)
4 Kartana (S)
2 Celesteela (M)
1 Guzzlord (S/M)

>>30157763
>>30157754
sometimes i use it to level up level 1 pokemon, but of course i learned you have to turn it off

What Pokémon are time-locked? Like how Spinarak only appears at night

I can't find Mallow after the Pokemon League, where is this bitch.

There's a Murkrow at Poke Pelago that's been there for a few days and Mohn keeps asking me to take it but I don't want it and it won't go away.

How do you traverse the distortion at the altar?

what's a good Tapu Lele set? I caught a 5 IV one (only missing 2 or 3 points in HP) with a Neutral Nature. I thought I'd at least use it in Battle Tree.
Also, does Misty Terrain block rest? And does it heal statuses?

Is there a way to improve the fishing? I hate how it works

>>30157301
So am I able to buy any stone in this game? I just don't want to throw this ice stone at this shit-natured Vulpix for my in-game team if more are hard to find.

Where in Brooklet Hill can i find a Feebas?
Just fishing at rooks or??

>>30157469
all of those are probably going to be released via mystery gift

>>30158784
Just fishing. If the rocks have ripples around them, there is a 5% encounter rate. Otherwise, only a 1% encounter rate. Feebas only appears in the area leading up to the trial, not the Totem room.

Is it true that if you KO legendaries you get another chance to catch them later? Is this true for UBs, so even if you KO a buzzwole you can still catch 2?
And if you KO a legendary, will it have a new nature when you find it again?

I kinda want to just KO them all and then try to get them with good natures, if possible. But I'm really afraid of missing out on any of them.

>>30158415
bump

>>30158690
I don't think most stones are available for purchase. When you get Isle Aphun to rank 2 on poke pelago, you can send box pokemon to look for stones. It takes 24 hours, unless you can supply 12 hours worth the beans, then it takes 12 hours.

>>30159037
Don't know about most of those, but you have to catch the UBs in order to finish the missions, so knocking them out does nothing.

I know why Nanu wasn't in the E4, but why wasn't Hapu? And who is Kahili?

>>30158885
Thanks anon.

>>30159116
>I know why Nanu wasn't in the E4
why?

at what time does the day reset for those playing pokemon moon? noon or midnight?

>>30159156
The ripple spots are preset each time you enter an area, and there is one right next to the entrance of brooklet hill. Keep going in and out to get the ripple spot.

>>30159172
He's old and tired, that's what Acerola alluded to anyways.

>>30159116
Hapu's too new at being a kahuna. Kahili was a previous Island Challenge champ, so while she wasn't a first pick for being in the E4, she's definitely worthy of the spot.

>>30159172
Being Kahuna is an obligation put on him by the island's guardian. He's sure as hell not going to be an Elite Four too just because Kukui asked.

>>30159214
Will do that, thanks anon.

Why didn't the Fairy Painter show up at the festival?

Does anyone else get "nothing seems to be biting" like a million times more than anything else while fishing? It makes getting Feebas that much more annoying.

>>30159282
probably too busy smoking weed and painting

How to i unlock clothes dye

>>30159330
Festival Plaza.

>>30157301
If Refresh has given a Pokemon an EXP boost, will it persist even if they receive EXP from EXP Share?

Playing Moon and still haven´t gotten hang of the time. PLaying in europe, it´s nearly 24:00. Can I still evolve Yungoos while leveling it or do I have to wait now?

>>30157301
Do the E4 get raised levels the second time you challenge them?

>>30159488
It might work though you gotta hurry

How do I evolve the following:
Charjabug
Magneton
Crawbrawler?

So let me ask, I want to have someone trade me a pokemon you can't get in either game currently to breed it and Jew for legendaries on the GTA. In this scenario, what pokemon unavailable in either game are garnering the most GTS value?

>>30159606
I put that picture in the OP for a reason you fucking numskull

does blue have a mega like every other trainer does?

>>30159606
level up the first 2 in vast poni canyon
level up the last in the mountain that leads to the pokemon league

>>30157469
You gotta buy them out of the battle tree.

YES, I know you get Return and Frustration from the Oranguru in the malasada shop in Malie City. YES, I know it has to be night.

Why the living shit isn't he there?

HOW THE FUCK DO I GET TO SEAWARD CAVE/DOWN TO KALA'E BAY

>>30159746
idk why not try exploring. its literally a little hole you press A next to.
why not even google it since i bet (aka have seen that) theres a million other retards asking the exact same
kind of sad that you cant even find it yourself in such a linear game....

>>30159746
Okay go to the mele meadow and find a small crawl space behind some flowers. That's the cave. Then you gotta walk through it a little and you'll come out at the bay.

question for completionists who have beaten the game:

Should I even bother trying to get every item and pokemon available to me as I progress through the game or should I just come back once I beat the game?

Here's my planned team for the battle tree:

Alolan Persian @ Darkium Z or something (after I get enough BP for a choice scarf I'll use that)
Timid
Parting Shot
Foul Play
Switcheroo
Taunt

Garchomp @ Lum Berry
Jolly
Swords Dance
Outrage
Earthquake
Fourth Move (?)

What should i put in my last slot?

The idea is to use Parting Shot since generally the AI doesn't switch anyway, possibly trap them with a choice scarf, then switch into chomp and set up for a sweep with SD. What should I use in my last slot? I'm thinking maybe M-Alakazam since I only have his stone for now

Can you trade for pokemon who aren't in either Sun and Moon on the GTA or wifi?

>>30159789
yes

>>30159200
bump

Is there only one Nihilego?

>>30159789
pick up whatever you want desu. Don't bother with zygarde cores since it's easier with a checklist. Do whatever you want for TMs since the game has a built in checklist

Does it matter what pokemon i chain to get politoed? Im in the garden and its raining.

>>30159849
not sure but just go with poliwag because they aren't rare just in case.

slush rush sandshrew, how

>>30159724
shopping mall in hau'oli city (or whatever it's called, the first city on the first island).

>>30159826
Yes, one per game

>>30159634
>not available in either game
>trade for
... How?

>>30159905
Adrenaline Orb chaining wild Sandshrew.

>>30159939


Someone injecting it into their game

What happens if you trade Zygarde away? Do you lose out on your cells or do you get them back?

Do males influence anything in breeding?
I was hoping at least the ball the new Pokemon is in will inherited from the male, but nope.

Also, how fucked up is Pokemon breeding?
I'm having those things forcibly make babies, then breed the father with his child again and again.

Where is the auto run option?

>>30159953
have been doing this and checking the ability with worry seed with no fruit of my labor, was wondering if there was any other option. cheers

>>30159955
Ah. I don't think that is going to be very tempting, since people can just wait til January to get legit pokemon.

>>30160002
In the second gen remakes.

>>30159981
You lose the cells.

Frost Breath or Ice Beam for Ninetails? Frost Breath is technically STAB 120 power but is there some bullshit as to why I shouldn't use it?

>>30159995
Males can pass on moves to the female's species' they otherwise would not have.

>>30160134
So, the guys are about fighting and adventure and the females about breeding.

Typical Japanese developers.

>>30157301
How do I rematch the captains? I know it's postgame
But do I just visit them where they live or what?

What's the fastest way to level up your festival?

>>30160046
Not him, but is it possible to break down Zygarde you get from other people?

>>30157301
do we have a team builder that supports all 7 generations?

>>30160208
Go online and play type match up with a lot of people, over and over again.

>>30159660
Wheres vast poni canyon? Is it the mudsdale thing in 3rd island?
Does Magneton evolve there too?

>>30160319
Is Magneton one of the first 2 pokemon you listed?
Is the 3rd island Poni island?

how are you even alive, you stupid fuck?

>>30157677
but that's wrong, retard.

>>30160391
ok

With what Pokémon can I breed vulpix? I just got one from GTS and want to breed a baby to raise. Egg group data from SM doesn't seem to be available yet.

When you get Type: Null, is it in a default ball? Or can you pick any ball? I would love to put it in the Friend Ball.

Can you expand your festival plaza when you reach a certain level? or are you stuck with the same number of shops?

>>30160426
Are you against using a ditto for some reason? If not, go catch one on the path below the observatory.

I've got Minior with acrobatics, stone edge, and shell smash. What would be a good last move?

>>30160426
www.serebii.net/pokedex-sm/egg/037.shtml
CTRL + F alola form only and look at the parents.
It's not complete but it's something.

>>30160475
Gifted from Gladion in the Aether Paradise after beating the main story, mandatory standard ball.

>>30160998
U-Turn? Pass on those sweet buffs in a pinch

>>30157301
Still haven't gotten the game yet. How big is the region compared to past ones and how big (if any at all) is the post-game?

So I just beat the elite 4.

What can I do now? I know I can go catch the tapu's, start the UB quest.. but what else?

It says you can get 10 beast balls from wicke on serebii.

how?

>>30161191
Battle Tree and breed for competitive play

What's the best way to level up new guys in the postgame?

Do pokemon from poke pelago have a better chance at having a good nature? A adamant pikipek showed up one day and a modest staryu the next day of course neither stayed tho

>>30161191
rest of Poni island
battle tree
champion title defending
NPC rematches (Guzma, Fuba, there's more but I forget)

How does SOS chaining for shinies work? I know you use Adrenaline orbs, but that is about all I know. I have about 30 will I need way more, like hundreds?

>>30160963
Oh shit, didn't know ditto was in the game so early.

>>30161231
E4 rematches

Make sure to get the Lucky Egg from Kakui

>>30161182
Region size is pretty standard. Probably has the most post game out of any Pokemon game, unless you considering grinding BP at the Battle Frontier as post game.

>>30161380
So like Kanto sized? I was worried that it would be even smaller than Kalos. Big post-game is surprising to me.

What was the starters and rockruff's secret?

How do I get the mind plate? I'm searching near my garage

I just beat the Elite 4, what should I do now?

>>30161279
You only need one for each encounter. Just make sure you have false swipe and thunder wave/spore/etc, maybe the shiny charm if you have it.

>>30161762
Explore Poni Island, do the Looker missions, fill your dex, whatever you want.

>>30162021
Do the chances keep getting better or is there an upper limit for the max you can increase the odds?

Was it ever revealed who actually lives in this room?
It's in the house where the parents say their child left some time ago or something.

What's the best Nature for Solgaleo? Does it work better pure phys or mixed? Should I prioritize speed or power?

>>30162234
Guzma. Go back at the end of the game to get the swagger tm.

>>30162234
Did you beat the game? Go to the house right now
It's your boy

Is poni canyon post game? I really want that fighting dragon for my playthrough.

Ayyy can I catch this fucking giant Totem Raticate?

>>30162323
Ah I guess the answer doesn't matter I just one shot it with an underlevelled fighting type

>>30162390
well the answer is no anyway

>>30162317
it's not post-game, but it's quite late-game. right before the final trial.

>>30162317

Just how much more EVs do you get from chaining?
I read that each mon seems to get doubled by I kind of doubt that.

Is Hakomo-o good? I used him in the league and the only time he was useful was during the Rock E4, he doesn't even feel like a pseudo. What's a good set for him or should I just give up?

Also why is Salazzle so fucking good?

Are you able to hatch eggs in Festival Plaza? I'm trying to see if you can do the same coin-under-circlepad exploit In XY at Lumiose City.

>>30162323
>game outright tells you you can't catch pokemon during trials
>"Hey guys can I catch pokemon during trials?"

How do I defend my title as Champion? Do I have to rematch the league first?

How does using pokebeans work when it comes to shortening the time for EVs? I understand it halves the sessions but is it one bean per pokemon per session or one bean per session or some other way. It isn't entirely clear to me and it's horrible having to wait absolutely ages to get EV training.

I'm working on the plaza front but I've yet to get near getting the shop that provides EV maxing drinks so at the moment i'm stuck with this.

Is there only 1 of each Johto ball? Thats kinda dumb

>>30162772
It didn't tell me that though

>>30164084
Then you need to read when people talk to you, because it literally says that you can't catch pokemon in trial areas until you have completed the trial. Literally right before the first trial starts.

Is the golf course accessible? Or is it just on the map to show it exists?

Where is the "autism box" people use for breeding?

Anyone have the link with all the QR codes?

So, which is the superior version?

I've played
Blue -> Yellow -> Gold -> Crystal -> Sapphire -> Emerald -> Fire Red -> Diamond -> Platinum -> Soul Silver -> Heart Gold -> White -> Black 2 -> X -> Alpha Sapphire

Thunderbolt at 42 the move used for its exclusive z-crystal which it doesn't learn otherwise until way later.

Do abras from breeding always have inner focus?

t. Red and Silver fag

That said, I like Sun more, and I had similar choices otherwise, so use that info as you will

>>30166279
Personally I think it's 100% worth waiting until it learns Thunderbolt because its z-move is cool as fuck.

I'm trying to catch Happiny on the first island, but I don't understand which pokemon will call for its help. Is it any in the specific grass that Happiny's available?

>>30157301
I've been playing this like most Pokémon games and kinda rushing the story etc. But I'm actually kinda interested now. I'm at the part right after you beat the 3rd kahuna. I just really wanted to ask, is the Aether foundation the bad guys? And team skull are basically just goons right?

Can Red and Blue be rebattled?

Where's the breeding path

There is one like Prism Tower, right?

Do you get ANYTHING for beating the Battle Tree?
Is there ANYTHING, beyond having Red/Blue, that makes it any different from the fucking Battle Chateau?

>>30168749
You get BP and some misc items for clearing certain milestones in the Battle Tree. It's pretty much mandatory for breeding.

why the pokemon bank does not work?

Why everyone are finding pokemon shiny so easily? I've been playing around 20 hours and am not found anything

>>30168584
Now there is a separate nursery for breeding, if that is what you want it's next to the cowboy town on the second island.
If you actually want the leveling up there is island evelup on the pokepeligo, it is based on time instead of steps taken, and levels up at a really slow rate, would not recommend.

Does Synchronize work on Zygarde reassembling? Does it have a different nature everh time? Is there a way to farm Heart Scales?

>>30168795
No, there's no Friend Safari.

Pokémon Bank won't work until it's updated in January.

And it all comes down to luck. I myself have found two shinies, just randomly.

>>30168443
Thanks.

>>30168892
The restaurant next to Olivia's shop gives you two Heart Scales with every meal you buy and they're dirt cheap. And you can do it over and over again.

>>30169139
It's in the desert. Wander around enough and you'll find it. I've gotten everything from it and I still have no idea how to navigate the place.

>>30169139
Haina Desert.

How do you get the Greninja and from the demo into your game?

Are there any clothes that only unlock post game?

>>30169282
I don't know if it's post-game only or not, but the mall in Hau'oli has a clothing store with some new stuff.

>>30169276
Go in the demo and go into the Pokemon Center. I think Kukui will be there and he'll ask if you want to transfer some stuff over. Send over the G-Ninja, and the demo will save.

Boot up your actual game and the Mystery Gift guy will be waiting for you with it. The nature is random, so save before taking it if that matters to you.

>>30169346
Ah, okay. Does it have preset IV's?

I keep seeing people say Lycanroc's Sun form is better than Moon on paper, but the reverse is true in practice - I looked at the stats and abilities, and nothing really puts Moon ahead of Sun (30 speed vs. 10 of each defense?). Does anyone have any testimony one way or the other?

>>30169282
Talk to the Team Skull guys in the Po City Pokecenter.

There's a secret crawl-hole thing in the meadow with all the yellow flowers (forget the name). That leads to a water cavern which eventually comes out to that area.

Does anyone know who to give big mushrooms to? Please respond

Have the Masuda Method odds been changed (as in, has anyone looked in the code and found the actual numbers)? I've hatched roughly 25 eggs total and have gotten two shinies, without the Shiny Charm.

can you sos chain abras by using taunt? I haven't tried it but i'm wanting to breed an alakazam soon and was just wondering if it's possible

How the hell do you pronounce

Which is the best cover legend, Solgageo or Lunalea? Regarding stats and movesets, of course.

Acrobatics is at ten carat hill in the farthest meadow. Take a right from the meadow entrance through the grass and there should be a slope you can go up that has it.

What's the best way to get tons of money quickly?

>>30169797
thank you anon

How do you upload battle replays online? An anon asked this in a previous thread, but I didn't catch the answer (if it was answered).

>>30170204
I've been incidentally getting a lot of money while level grinding/evolving mons for Dex entries, by having to go through the Poni Coast. There's four breakable boulders than can drop Stardust, Star Pieces, and occasionally even Comet Shards.

Quick question.
Is the national dex in the game?

>>30170421
No.

There are no wild double battles, right? How do I get a Smeargle to Sketch useful catching moves like Spore, Foresight, Worry Seed, or Recycle?

Can you only get 1 Ice Stone in the game? Or is there somewhere to buy a 2nd?

>>30170616
If you upgrade the treasure hunting Poke Pelago island you can have a chance at getting more.

What's the method for reducing EV's in this game? Just the berries?

Are A-Vulpix and A-Ninetail good Pokemon? I want to use a Alolan variant, but it's an Ice Type sooo....

Do I need to see or catch everything for the shiny charm?

>>30171289
Catch.

what i don't understand are the differences between the demo and the main game.

why are some of the areas and parts of the towns and stuff way different in the demo than compared to the main game?

So I caught a female Salandit with shit nature but have a bunch of potential male suitors.
Will breeding get me 50/50 on gender type or the same as appearance rate of 12.5/87.5?

Where's Guzma in the post-game? Is he just gone? I found Plumeria but not him.

>>30171483

>regular battle theme
now I wish I hadn't found him.

What did the "Please collect the Pokeball" message mean after I caught Lunala?

Is Ice the only type in Alola without some kind of trainer specializing in it?

Plumeria - poison
Guzma - bug
Ilmia - normal
Lana - water
Kiawe - fire
Mallow - grass
Sophocles - electric
Acerola - ghost
Mina - fairy
Hala - fighting
Olivia - rock
Nanu - dark
Hapu- ground
Kahili - flying
Ryuki - dragon
Molayne - steel
Faba - psychic

Am I missing someone?

Chaining for a slush rush sandshrew, will there be a pop up saying it's ability activates or do I need to check abilities in battle?

Is Lusamine's Clefairy programmed to always get a SE attack on your Pokemon with Metronome? I had Ribombee out and it got Ember then Searing Shot with 2 Metronomes in a row, getting the KO, then I send out Lycanroc and her Metronome gives her Waterfall.

>>30160200
It isn't even postgame, it's just post-island. Also it's only some of the captains, and lana/mallow are S/M exclusive.

Ilima is in his room at his house, far left of hau'oli
Kiawe is in the western town, forget the name. He flies off to the royal supermarket before you can fight him, and you have to follow him there.
Lana is in koni koni, far end near the lighthouse.
Not entirely sure about Mallow since I have sun, but I think she's in Lush jungle somewhere?
As far as I know you can't fight sophoclese or acerola outside of the league rematches.
And the fairy stoner has a minor role in the UB story, then can be found on exeggutor island.

where is a good place to grind

is it true that pokemon won't call for help if they're paralyzed?

>>30172094
yes

>>30172005
Lana and Mallow are not exclusive, you can find Mallow on the restaurant's second floor in Koni Koni.

>>30172094
no

How early can I get Drampa?

Jangmo-o isn't available until Victory Road, and Turtonator is Sun exclusive. It says you can get Drampa on the third island but I don't know how far into the third island it is. If it's late I'm just going to hack and breed a Jangmo-o for my team (and level up the hatchling with Poké Pelago). The difficulty of getting a new dragon on my team is pissing me off.

>>30172244
Literally just before the E4, the same applies to Turtonator.

Been trying to get a fucking Sliggoo for about an hour now. Say's it's a weather SOS Pokemon on Exeggutor Island. It's raining and I've been in a battle with an Exeggcute and I used an adrenaline orb and it's called for help at least a dozen times but no fucking damn Sliggoo.

Do I have to be in a battle with a specific Pokemon?

>>30172244
>>30172268
Not true at all. Blush mountain is well before the E4.

If Moon is anything like Sun because Drampna is Turtonator's counterpart, it will be on Blush mountain on Ula Ula.

>>30172268
>Turtonator
this is literally a lie, you get it before the power plant

This fucker. Is there a way to get a defiant one? I don't play doubles, and I'd like my cool lemur to have a useful ability. The one I've got down to one HP hasn't called any more so far.

or someone could just pkhex me one

>>30157709
Stop constantly keeping your team topped off, that over time keeps your pokemon from fainting and keeps them pretty high level. Plus it really picks up the pace of the gaem

>>30172294
The pokedex tells me that Drampa is only available on Mount Lanakila.

>>30172306
Is that so? I only played Moon and since Turtonator is Drampa's counterpart i just assumed that it was also available on Mount Lanakila.

>>30160008
gotta chain quite a few encounters. I'd say at least 50 before you start checking.

>>30172362
sos chaining probably

>>30172418
Mount Lanakila is the Elite 4 mountain. That sucks dude, guess you can't get it before the E4.

Turtonator is found on Blush mountain which is relatively early on.

It won't let me register any VIPs in Festival Plaza, always says "Registration failed!" What do?

>>30172444
But that's what I'm saying; I've had one down at 1 hp with an adrenalie orb active for a while and all it's called so far are trumbeaks. These guys may not be SOS summonable, which would suck. I'm wondering if anyone knows for sure if it's possible.

>>30171916
anyone know?

>>30172596
You only get a popup for a handful of abilities when a pokemon enters battle, but swift swim and its clones (including slush rush) aren't part of that club. You'll have to rely on worry seed and whatnot.

I know I'm several hours late, but here's how to have a somewhat challenging Sun/Moon experience:

>Exp Share: Off
>Battle mode: Set
>Rotate like a motherfucker near the start of the game, get a feel for temporary placeholder Pokemon to help you out from situation to situation while divvying up the exp even further
>Don't think too much about type balance, if a certain type completely wrecks your team, just roll with it and overcome the odds
>It also helps to babysit a Wimpod or some other similar shitmon/babymon until it evolves. Give it the Magikarp treatment and have it always in the front of the party without actually fighting anything. It becomes a big exp sink.
>If you REALLY want, just do a no evolutions run to keep your Pokemon sufficiently weak

I applied everything except the last point to my (still in progress) run. All three of the Akala Island totems were a fucking ride. Felt really satisfying to withstand their bullshit and come up with strategies to pierce theirs. In the case of Lurantis, it actually became a bit of a war of attrition, it was that bad.

>remove lip colour
>online battle still shows me with bright red lips
??

>>30172537
Serebii's SOS tables show it only summons Trumbeaks unfortunately.

would something like Funbro work for chaining shinies?
for those unaware, it's slowbro with leppa berry/recyle/heal pulse/slack off/block

I would replace block with a damage move for obvious reasons. Is there any way I can use something like this without Bank? Because (I think) all of the available Pokemon with a move that heals opponents doesn't get Recycle outside of ORAS tutors.

>>30172783
Fuckin hell. Thanks anon. Maybe in the rumored Pokemon Stars we can get HA primates. One can dream.

>>30172730
Wait I'm retarded, that's your mouth? Why does it look like shit, is it my pose style?

What is each starter's 'role?'

Primarina has high special A&D,
Incineroar has high P. atk, even defenses, and poor speed,
Decidueye has even attacks, 'ok' speed, and poor P. def.

Based on how much everyone bitches about them, are the starter pokes any good compared to wild ones?

>>30171766
Anyone?

Are all the male clothing options tank tops and cargo shorts? I'm on the third island now and I've yet to change any of my clothes because every store has been fuckboy central

>>30173125
Seems like it. Who the fuck is Ryuki?

He is a challenger after you beat the E4

In the Festival Plaza, which of the two profile quotes show up under your name when trading and such?

>>30173402
>straight 61s
So the E4 don't get harder if you rematch them?

>>30171332
Because the demo was made before the game was completed.

How to check the IVs?

>>30174306
Hatch 20 eggs and talk to the Ace Trainer outside the Battle Tree.

What's the strat for battle royale? Or some good sets/mons for it? Would battle tree sets work well in it?

I just got my Eevee. How should I evolve it? I was thinking either Umbreon or Sylveon, although I'm planning to get Alolan Ninetales.

How do I get the second cosmog ?

Also do you have any hints concerning the black thing resembling an UB saw by based multilingual police guy ? I don't want a straight up guide just an advice on where to look.

At skull hideout, grunt says I got the passwords right but that I need to educate myself about team skull more, what do I do?

You have to say No instead of yes, you missed one that says that.

Any tips on catching a Ditto with a particular nature? No too experienced in this. Looking for Jolly, but I keep catching garbage.

It's been many years since I played pokemon. Can someone explain me in simple terms the usage of Pokemon Refresh and Plaza ? What do I get for using each one and how is it beneficial for my ingame play and/or online play ?

just beat guzman for the second time in po-town

how much of island 3 left?
how big is island 4 in comparison to the first 3?

Does anyone know how the trainer shot of Idol and Passionate style looks like?

>>30175125
Plaza is a hub for online activities, not that useful.
Pelago allows you to get IV + EV train(useful for competitive play) berries and friendship boost. As well as egg hatching I think

Oh my god why is Vast Poni Canyon barred off by the fucking trial. I just want to evolve my shiny Charjabug.

in the alternate universe can you catch the other exclusives/evolve the other lycanroc?

How do you get gold bottle caps?

>>30175362
You'll be getting there super soon, don't worry.

>>30175452
How do you get there ? I'm champion already and I can't pass the portal

You can catch UBs in things other than Beast Balls, right? I've been trying for quite a while now.

>>30175506
Take your box legendary there during the opposite of the time of day it represents
>>30175452
Definite no on other exclusives, I'm pretty sure the other lycanroc is a no as well.

>>30171699
It was rotom telling you to go pick it up.

>>30175527
what a fucking missed opportunity

Is it true you get a different person challenging your title as champion each time you beat the Elite 4? I've only beaten them 3 times. First time it was Kukui, second time it was Hau, then the third time it was Kukui. Will it continue to be Kukui or will it change?

>>30175636
