Questions not big enough to deserve their own thread

>>30254759
where's Guzma's house that I've heard people talk about

>>30254905
It's on route 3, the guy who talks about his runaway son. He gets more dialogue in the post-game.

>>30254759
Which is a better hard counter for Fairies, Evolite Salandit or Sitrus Berry Salazzle?

I think they're just random pickups.

I checked back after beating the E4 and I have some of them.

How can I check my Sun SID without homebrew?

Can you stack Lucky Egg, Trade bonus, Refresh bonus?

>>30256058
duh

Where's the icy rock?

>>30256219

>>30255927
Trade a poke to somebody who does

>>30256219

How do I get cosmog? I went through the portal and all it did was change the in-game night time for day time

>>30254759

The berry tree on Route 10 is the only place you can get them.

Go to the Lake of the Sunne/Moone with Lunala/Solgaleo in your party.

So do I just keep breeding a pokemon until one hatches with the hidden ability ?

>>30256572
I couldn't find it in the catalog. Bite me.

>>30256800
Not that easy. You have no chance unless you use one that already has a HA.

>>30254759
The berry tree on Route 10 is the only way to get them. Luckily, they are the only berries there

>>30256871
Ohhh fuck

>>30254759
Are you able to get HA Island Scanned Mons?

>>30256912
You can get Hidden Abilities through SOS Chaining.

>>30256394
>Trade a poke to somebody who does
Where do I find someone who does?

Where do I find the Soothe bell?
What about Leftovers?

>>30256952
How do I know if the pokemon has it in battle?

>>30257330
Depends on the ability. What HA are you trying to get?

>>30257330
Use something with Worry Seed, Skill Swap, or Role Play.

>>30257330
You can't, really. Most reliable way is to get a Parasect with Spore, False Swipe & Worry Seed. False swipe to keep at 1HP, spore to Paralyze, and Worry Seed replaces the target's ability with Insomnia, while also telling you what ability was replaced. If the ability which was replaced wasn't the hidden one, kill it.

>>30257310

Leftovers are a 5% chance on Munchlax; which spawn on Route 1 in some specific grass patches (the area you have to rock smash to get into)

Bring a dead butterfry and someone with Thief and grind it out. Same thing for Black Sludge and Grimers; except do them at the school.

>>30257403
Sandygast and Litwig

>>30257419
Butterfree itself can learn Thief, no need to bring a dead one you monster.

Where is the best grinding spot? I'm trying to get my ditto to level 100 ASAP.

>>30257556

it's not about efficiency

it's about sending a message

Does the strange relic thing you can buy in the thrift store for 3k do anything?

How do I evolve raichu marowak and exeguttor into kanto forms?

I think there is a way.. but nobody cares enough to find out.

>>30257842
You don't.

>>30257428
For Sandygast just hit it with a water attack. If Water Compaction doesn't activate, it's got its HA.
For Litwick, just put a sub up and let them attack you. If one hits through it, it's got Infiltrator.

>>30257330
>>30257428
I'd also recommend using Skill Swap. That's my go to way with my Smeargle if i can't figure it out immediately.

Could someone please explain to me how Synchronise works now? I heard you can synchronise a fainted pokemon's nature as long as it is fainted, at the front of your party and the pokemon you toss in has the synchronise ability.

Haven't been doing SOS stuff but just trying to normally capture pokes and they continue to have the wrong nature.
Is their different rules for SOS or am I just missing something

Will an imported Gengar have Levitate or will it be overwritten with Cursed Body?

>>30258974
It will have Cursed Body.

>>30256946
No.

>>30257604
if you're trying to get it to 100 for hyper training, hyper trained IVs don't pass down.

About to do my first Island Scan. Emboar is available today, right?

How do Island Scans work? Can I scan any QR code and the Pokemon for that island and day will appear, or does it have to be a certain QR code? Can I reset if I want a different nature for the Pokemon, or will I lose the scan? Can I reset if I don't find the Pokemon in the hour? What if I'm not able to reach the area the Pokemon is at yet?

>>30257210
Stupid question bump.

How do I guarantee if my Marowak will have Cursed Body when my Cubone evolves?

>>30259630
/ekx/

>>30259511
Yes, Emboar is available today.

No, you scan 10 Pokédex QR codes (which you can find online) and then get one Island Scan. You get one scan every two hours and can stock up to 10, so it's effectively one a day unless you're super anal about it. Any ten work.

>>30259683
If Cubone has Rock Head, Marowak will always have Cursed Body.
If Cubone has Lightningrod, Marowak will always have Lightningrod.
If Cubone has Battle Armor, Marowak will always have Rock Head.

See if you can find the spot where Game Freak was retarded.

>>30259911
Thanks anon, I was googling this info for a while and couldn't find it anywhere

>QR code is not supported
Anybody know what's wrong?

How the fuck are you supposed to get electric terrain for Raichu at the moment without using Tapu Koko since he'll surely be banned from non legendary matches. And it doesn't seem like there's any pokemon to breed with until bank opens up to teach Pika electric terrain.

>>30259715
Thanks.

Does the battle tree let you select music like the maison in gen 6?
Are there more tracks to choose from
Please tell me the Aether Employee theme is an option. PLEASE

>>30260234
oh I guess breeding Pika with Togedamaru or w/e answers my question.
FUCK ALL THIS WORK TO MAKE RAICHUS ABILITY EVEN USABLE FUCK GAME FREAK

>>30260234

where can i find cottonee's?

Why did everyone say this game was easy?

Just got to the league and I'm 10 levels below the E4.

This is with XP share off and I skipped the desert, golf course and recycling plant, but I have to say S&M are the hardest mainline Pokémon games out there.

Can't imagine Nuzlocking this.

How did everyone else feel?

Why the fuck do they make some Pokes fishing-only AND have a 1% appearance rate? Fishing alone already bumps up the number of attempts ("nothing seems to be biting" or finding an item). It's bullshit.

> pic not related

>>30260518
wait, does terrain stack with weather?

>>30260732
I found mine in Mailee garden at night. Not sure if they spawn during day, just happpened it was like 3am. I'd trade you mine if you want it for breeding. I only caught it for dex

>>30260794
bubbles, look for the bubbles. That tends to bump up the rate of rarer pokemon up considerably. My only issue is that if you go to the bubbles too fast, it scares away the bubbles. Also it tends to only be one fishing spot per area. Not sure why.

How do I get into the Seaward Cave? I have been both to the Beach and the Meadows and can´t find the entrance.

Finished the third trial, if it helps.

Let's get this shut settled. Do I hatch eggs one at a time and replace the baby with a new egg, or do I fill up the box with a bunch and mass hatch?

I've been doing the former because then you'd be running around for no reason and it wouldn't be counting the steps toward hatching an egg while you try to collect them.

Is there a consensus on the best method?

>>30260852
Go all the way to the left-back of the meadows, and there's a tiny hole to climb through.

It drove me crazy when I was looking for a Shellder.

>>30260813
Yes

>>30260764
>10 levels below and with exp share off
That's why

>>30260764
>>30260929
I'm not going to say the game was pathetically easy with it ON though... I got close to losing a few times here and there, but managed to pull through climatically. It still felt just as rewarding, desu.

Once you've battled every trainer, how do you continue to get $ ?

Where do I evolve Magneton?

>>30261129
Pyukumuku. League with Amulet Coin

I hear EV training is best with SOS chains, but isn't it possible that the mon you're chaining will call for a different mon, resulting in different EVs?

>>30261181
There are only a handful of mons that SOS a different species. You could just avoid them.

is it even worth it to hyper train?

>>30261211
Is there a list somewhere?

>>30261129
Gotta grind that league boi

>>30261181
Also if you have the EXP sharer on, know that it WILL FUCK YOU OVER tremendously if you're EV training. I learned that a bit too late.

>>30260764
>golf course
You can get in there? How?

Where are the leftovers?

>>30261351
they're held by muchlaxes on route 1 in th patch of grass you need tauros to get to

Any way to alter/reset EVs? Other than rngberries that is

>>30261459
Festival Plaza shops

>>30261351
on wild munchlax :^)

>>30258520
If you have a Synchronize pokemon at the front (faint or no), anything you fight has a 50% chance of having the Synchronize's nature

I don't think it affects SOS tho, works best for UB's/Tapus

Does anything influence crit capture? First time I've gotten it this game

>>30260764
it's easy with xp share on, my sister did it that way and was equal level with captains/kahunas/totems/e4 and breezed through it

I did it same as you and was 10 levels below too

I think a fair compromise is to keep yourself equal to the wild pokemon around, even if that involves some grinding

lycanroc isn't actually exclusive, just can't be evolved into that form. you can find the other form in the wild at a very low %

The more your pokedex is filled out the better chance of it happening

They are, but there's a difference between Suicune-type legendaries and Lugia-type legendaries.
Works the same for bans in the Battle facilities.

>>30261662
Thank you

>>30261579
I just got another one with the exact same way I got that one.

Weird.

>>30254759
Is using 6 pickup meowths a good way to find a destiny knot or should i just use the battle tree despite not having any ev trained or iv bred mons?

>>30261697
That's why it says "Evolution" by the Lycanrocs, but I can see how it isn't that direct.

Just reposting though, I didn't make those.

>>30261727
oh wow. I haven't really kept up too much with online battling so thanks. Are dogs legal then too? I mean when they become available?

I've tried to EV train through SOS chaining multiple times now. I didn't use the EXP share, I've only used the pokemon i wanted to train, I wiped out seven/eight pokemon in a row with the chain... what am I missing? Does the doubling mechanic not actually exist or am I still forgetting a step?

For the record i'm using the y button on the summary screen to check these. if the EVs only ever actually show up and count when you level up or something, it'd be weird and all, but fine... I just need to know if i'm doing something wrong.

>>30260764
It's shitposters who want the game to be hard, but still don't bother turning off exp share.

Also want to note a correction.

People have been saying you have to beat the Elite 4 again to battle Tapu Koko if you defeat the forced battle after the first Elite Four victory, but I defeated him and then walked right back to the shrine as soon as I had the chance, and he appeared for battle.

>>30262060
He appears somewhere else. Does anyone remember which one?

I'm pretty sure he only appears in his temple, no?

>>30262230
>>30262194
In theory if you stalled out the Scan battle long enough, would it call for help? If so you might get the HA that way.

>>30261259
Serebii has a convoluted list per Route.

>>30262286
No SOS calls on scan battles.

Adamant or Jolly Koko ?

Can you find Anabel anywhere after you finish the UB Missions, or no?
What about Guzma after you battle him on the beach?

I hate when characters disappear totally, even if they're just standing in the same spot with one line of dialog.

Shieet.
I went on global link without thinking. My profile on the site says I started playing on November 10th.
Is there any way of fixing this?
If I edit my dates now, will they update on the site?

>>30262341
Jolly for pseudo setup/pivot
Adamant for man handling i guess

>>30262435
It's for VGC; I kind of assume that the Speed is not really super needed, especially in TRICK ROOM MANIA

I just defeated the league. How do I start going after Ultra Beasts?

Also, where does one get Beast Balls?

>>30262549
Keep playing the game and as long as you don't breeze through dialogue you will know.

>>30259911
IYO is Rock Head worth it just for Flare Blitz/Double Edge?

So I caught a shiny Pichu and I'm trying to turn into an Alolan Raichu. However it's not evolving into Pikachu at all. The happiness gauge in Pokemon Refresh is at 5 hearts and I've got it equipped with a Soothe Bell but it's not evolving on level up.

Is there something I'm missing? Is there an npc that'll tell you the actual happiness level?

>>30262360
it most likely uses your system date, so it doesn't matter.

>>30262228

>>30254759
Why do people keep fucking wondertrading Abras? I know I should expect route 1 fodder but this is ridiculous. And now the lottery is actually random so there's not a single reason to hold onto these shitters now.

>>30262635
Affection =/= happiness, look it up.

Did Eviolite get nerfed or is it still 1.5x?

>>30262657
because mister bonding is trapped in the desert longing for someone to bring him a lunatone or solarock so he can return to his people.

>>30262635
Happiness and affection arent the same thing because Game Freak is retarded.

>>30262663
>And now the lottery is actually random
Is it still not based on ID? That's why i've been keeping all of my wonder trade things

>>30262651
It still bugs me to look at. Even if you make the argument that people have fucked up system dates I want to avoid damages at any cost.

>>30262702
Only the players that can't figure it out are retarded.

>>30262663
Japs using them to synchronize good natures. Westerners are behind again.

I also hate it tbqhfamalam I send out genuinely 1% catches like bagon's feebas and just get trump memes and abra like why

That's what I thought.

The real lottery is still ID and then the plaza one is random.

>>30262724
I've been dumping my Mimikyu breedjects in Wondertrade for the past 30 minutes and so far I've only gotten like 5 Abras.

A ton of pikipeks and wingulls though. and Someone also dropped a bagon breedject with egg moves so I guess it was worth

>>30262742
AN NPC in some town will tell you how happy the lead Pokemon in your party is, but not in numeric form. Just give it Soothe Bell and level it up a lot and it'll evolve solely from that.

Anyone know if an Anticipation (HA) Eevee spawned via SoS will "shake" if my pokemon has a super-effective move?

>>30262357

>>30262826

If I get enough wingulls I might just name a box "the wall of wingull" and put them all there.

I put a level 1 mon in pelago training but its stats don't seem to be updating. Do I have to level it up once to see the EV changes?

Just bred a perfect iv timid vulpix with moonblast, freezedry, extrasensory, and encore. What would be a good moveset for it?

>>30263089
How many raw stats do you think a level 1 can get from EV training? at 100 it's only 63 points at 252

does speeding with tauros improve egg production/hatch rate or will just going at normal speed work too?

Where is the massage place? I know I saw it early on. Want to start trying to evolve my Type: Null.

>>30263208
Speeding is faster if you use the autism box.

>>30263237
Konikoni

Is there a minimum you need to SOS chain before hidden abilities start appearing?

>>30263242
Cool. And about how fast should I be turning the circlepad in autism box?

>>30263170
I thought they changed it so that EVs show immediately, not just at level 100.

>>30261905
Do you have pokerus and the ev boosting hold item?

>>30262979
Incineroar, Lunala, Wishiwashi, Vikavolt, Kommo-o and Toucannon. I got predicted a lot, mostly Hala and Olivia gave me trouble

>>30263281
nope, can be the first SOS. use skill swap, worry seed, or role play to check.

I'm chain farming for Sandygast HA, if I use Sandstorm in theory I'd see the evasion increase on the "battle stats" while fighting, right? Been farming for a few days off and on and have not seen an increase on any yet...

>>30263288
Doesn't matter, just fast enough to keep the charge going and slow enough to be comfortable to you.

>>30263372
What about Entrainment?

>>30263374
just use skill swap/worry seed/role play to check it outright

>>30254905
Route 2. First house you see. The one with the golfclubs.

Does anything happen if you don't go back through the space vag when you go to get cosmog? Does it affect anything?

>>30263237
Konikoni. Next to the incense girl on the left hand side of the screen.

>>30263402
sure, I think. that and simple beam too.

As long as it works like Worry Seed, and shows the old ability before switching to the new one, it should be ok.

I personally used a Sylveon with Skill Swap because it's easy to get.

I plan to use Silvally as a bulky physical-oriented Parting Shot-user. Since you only get one Type:Null, what would be the best multipurpose nature? Should I just go with Jolly, or go with something defensive like Impish?

>>30263467
From what I've seen on /vp/ night and day reverse from whatever version you have to the other's rules

>>30263405
Yeah but sandygasts are assholes. Been using a keen eye skarmory to avoid the sand attacks and sand tomb nonsense. Was mainly aiming for a shiny one but at this point an HA one would let me just egg farm instead

Haven't played pokeman in the longest and just getting moon.

Which pokemans do I need for the tankiest team

>>30263467
Literally nothing, go back and forth as much as you want. The only difference is time so you can evolve those day/night mons any time you want.

>>30263551
6 Top-a-keks

>>30263513
>>30263577

>>30257330
Pancham (found on ulaula) can sos a pangoro sometimes. Pangoro can learn false swipe and entrainment; entrainment can be used to briefly see an enemie's ability

>>30263551
Mimikyu gets 1 free turn with no damage. Mudsdale is a monster, as is Sandyghast. Toxapex is a brick wall.

>>30263577
Thats not a Pokemon

>>30263551
Maybe I'm just dumb but Pikipek evolves into a fucking monster for me. Really powerful flying type

>>30261690

All you need to do is level it up in hail. You can evolve it as soon as the Royal Avenue Pokemon Center. Stop spreading lies.

Does killing the first Pokemon in a sos chain reset it?

>>30263700
Go to your PC and look at a Pokemon that's never been used. That Pokemon has no EVs.

>>30263775
sun: 1x nihilego, 2x buzzwole, 2x xurkitree, 4x kartana, 1x guzzlord

moon: 1x nihilego, 4x pheromosa, 2x xurkitree, 2x celesteela, 1x guzzlord

>>30263690
>>30263725
My Toucannon was fucking frail as shit... almost always got a KO, but wasn't ever able to take more than two hits.
Mimikyu, though- fucking OP for story.

Best natures for UB's? I figure Adamant for Buzzwole is an easy one

I know you can catch a non-Alolan Pikachu if you chain Pichus long enough. Can you catch a non-Alolan Vulpix if you chain long enough?

>>30263910
Press Y to see EVs in the summary.

>>30263914
Yes you need the UB.

Is Lunala supposed to be easy to get? I got it with one ultra ball.

>>30263938
Pikachu doesn't have an alolan form anon.

>>30263992
Yes, 45 catch rate. I got it in a Luxury Ball.

>>30260794
Just fish at spots with bubbles and the encounter rate for the rarest Pokemon shoots up. For example Bruxish goes from 1% to 20%, Dhelmise from 1% to 10%, etc.

I just caught a Dhelmise fishing off the Steelix boat on Poni Island in about 10 minutes. Bruxish took about the same amount of time on Secluded Beach's bubbling spot

>>30263992
Box legends have had high catch rates for a few generations now.

I think my favorite small addition is the "page" of the pokedex having all of the pokemon in that line.

I haven't looked at eevee yet, does it have all the eeveelutions somehow?

>>30263992

Yeah, I think it's like Rayquaza in ORAS; the game just kinda gives it to you.

Then it makes you fight Tapu Koko after 20m of cutscenes with the lowest possible capture rate. Game's schizo

>>30264048
Yes, it's cute to see.

>>30264048
>the "page" of the pokedex having all of the pokemon in that line
It's so satisfying the moment when you complete a page and she fills with red with the rotating pokeballs.

Should my sandslash know icicle spear or icicle crash?

>>30264048
Yeah they're all crammed in there.

Are there any moves that you can target at either you or your opponent in Single Battle?

>>30264077
You can just run or kill Tapu Koko though, he respawns.

>>30264106

>>30263996
Fuck me, I forgot that heart shaped tail was female and not an Alola form.

>>30263966
The reason I'm confused is because I got a pokemon with perfect IVs in a wonder trade, that was hatched from an egg and is level 32 but doesn't look like it has EVs. Is it possible for it to go up 31 levels without getting any EVs?

>>30264036

Last box pokemon I caught besides Rayquaza was Dialga, which game me shit.

>>30264077

I used a masterball on him without realizing that Deoxys came right after.

How do Hidden Abilities work in SOS battles?
Do they appear after a set time?
How random are they?

I've been hunting Paras spamming Skill Swap until they Struggle to death.

who's better used in singles, Type: Null or Silvally?

>>30264165
EV can be reset but the answer in your case is that that pokemon was injected.

-Pyukumuku job
-League with Amulet Coin + Munchlax(Snorlax) Happy Hour
-Fishing in bubbling spots might get you Pearls and Pearl strings
-Path for Rare-Treasure Hunting! in Isle Aphun on PokePelago can net you Big Nugget, Big Pearls, Comet Shards, Nuggets, Pearls, Pearlstrings and Rare Bones...as well as Golden Bottle Caps.

>>30264195
Never mind. Found one

>>30263329
Wait, i thought the doubling effect was a part of the sos system... in addition to other boosts. That's why i tried to go for ten this time around, but I guess it means it's going to double the effects BECAUSE of the boosts?

Oh well, I'm having them drink attack drink at the pelago for now as it is.

I started running into imposter dittos around 45, and those were obviously really easy to notice..

>>30263992
yup, plot-required ones have a much higher catch rate. rayquaza's was actually buffed from 3 in RSE to 45 in ORAS for this reason. been this way since x/y

For Super Singles, I want to use Scolipede to baton pass speed and attack. I need two options to pass too. I'm thinking Alola Marowak for one. Who should go in the last spot?

Do Leech Seed and Aromatherapy trigger Triage?

Is it confirmed that a level 20 Pickup Meowth can pick up a Destiny Knot? Is there any other level range that's more likely to yield one? Can't find much info on this gen's Pickup yet

Someone please help me out here. I got a Salandit, Charjabug, Brionne and a Stufful. I´m at a loss at how to fill the last two spots.

Preferably with something "cute" looking from the first two Islands. Maybe a Rockruff? Or something with an Psychic moveset?

am i supposed to go from ruins of hope or ancient poni path?

>>30264442
You can EV train a pokemon at any point.

>>30262357
Battle Tree

>>30264340
Lurantis. Alolan Raichu if you want to use Alolan forms.

>>30263914
You need all legends up through Necrozma, so just no events required but everything else is including UBs and version exclusives

>>30256219

There's a school on weather in the first town (The one with the fossil shop) where you answer a test and you get an icy rock, heat rock, damp rock, and smooth rock for free.

>>30264591
Yes, you can even EV train a pokemon that's level 100.

>>30264591
Yes, two of the same Pokemon at level 100 with the same EVs, IVs, and nature will have identical stats regardless of how they leveled up and when they gained the EVs

>>30264641
>>30264642
Gotcha, thanks a bunch. Sorry for the dumb questions.

I didn't know that at the time, since I was doing my best to play blind. I had a nagging suspicion, but I didn't want to test it.

My level 28 Meowth found one last night. I'm guessing 20-29 is at least the start of the sweetspot. You can also get leftovers.

You can't go there until you beat the pokemon league, once you're champion just go to the area you couldn't access before

>>30254759
How do you reduce the happiness of a pokemon?

Apparently you can't use the EV-reducing drinks from the festival plaza unless your pokemon doesn't have any love for you?

Is protean legal on Gren in SM yet or is it just ash and torrent

Like on the cartridge I mean

>>30264491
Start at Hapus house, go right in a straight line as far as you can. Then just follow the trail.

>>30264786
From Ruins - go east, get back on the ancient path, look for the S shape path by the wall with the hole in it. Go north and keep fighting through all the trainers while more or less hugging the coast

What's the best spot to train power level Pokemon, other than E4 battling? Trying to power my way through the Alola Dex for the Shiny Charm, but the ice Pokemon just below the E4 is boring as fuck.

How hard exacty is it to evolve null? I've heard say they 're struggling to evolve it. I've leveled mine up 16 levels and still nothing.

>>30264873
Give it herbal medicine or kill it in a battle.

>>30264873
Trade it?

>>30264868
but from which side?

>>30264892
Give it a soothe bell, give it a massage, feed it as many happiness berries as you can, then run in circles on tauros until it's happy, that's how I did it, it starts at too high of a level to effectively raise happiness just from level ups unless you're masochistic

>>30264892
I evolved mine in like 5 levels max. I just gave him a soothe bell and stuffed him full of Tamato berries.

>>30264890
Do ypu mean just level up or EV train? If you just need levels E4 is your best bet, use exp share to make it quicker.

>>30264976
Levels, yeah. I barely made it through the E4 with a whole team my first time around, so I can't really spare any spots for even 1 Pokemon to level spam, as my team is now.

>>30264950
>>30264959
I have a few friendship raising berries but it says it lowers the pokemon's base stats though. Never worked with friendship berries, excuse my ignorance but I don't think it's worth it.

>>30265060
It lowers their EVs, and if they don't even have any EVs it doesn't affect stats at all but still raises happiness

>>30265036
There are the new routes that open up to you on poni island.

>>30265060
They lower EVs. Nothing that some time in pokepelago won't fix.

>>30265103
Mine is EV trained, if I use berries on EVs I didn't raise would it matter?

>>30265108
Where exactly?

Do EV yields double for EVERY SOS call, or do they cap off at some point?

>>30265155
It would do absolutely nothing

Even if it is a stat you have trained though, all it means is that you need to get a few more EVs again, it doesn't affect the cap or anything

>>30264876
Pls help

>>30265170
Have you been to the battle tree yet? On the path to get there you get a shit ton of trainers, got all my pokemon to mid sixties.

>>30264876
>>30265196
iirc there's no way to currently get it

>>30265060
Don't use them all, they're fucking worth sextuple their weight in Festival Coins when you need to EV train.

>>30265195
Er, I mean, it would do absolutely nothing except raise happiness

>>30254759
Why can I use the Ev-reducing drinks from the festival plaza on only some pokemon?

They state that I can't use these drinks on a Pokemon that "won't feel any effect by having this" but how do I determine what pokemon "won't feel any effect"?

Is there a list of all the available pokemon I can capture before the elite four for Moon?
I want to plan out who I'm going to catch and how early I can get it in the game.

>>30265240
Max friendship

Just have it faint once to reduce it

>>30265195
Cool, sorry but I've never used berries that raise friendship and just don't want to fuck this null I got.

When should I evolve my Pikachu?

>>30265240
Max friendship or already 0 EVs. Feed the former Herbal Medicine from Konikoni.

>>30265221
All I've done post-E4 is started the UB quest and did some leveling at the ice Pokemon area. I don't normally do the mini games that reward BP so I had no intention of getting to the Tree.

Why the fuck isn't my eevee evolving? Its got 2 hearts in pokerefresh

>>30265251
is it an UB?
is it a Tapu?
is it a Sun exclusive?

if none of the above, it's usable

>>30265227
Fug

>>30265265
42

>>30265251
The postgame area is pretty small, there's only a tiny handful of pokemon you can't catch some time before E4, it'd probably be easier to list those

Off the top of my head I know you can only catch Scyther, Dratini, and I think Granbull/Snubbull in postgame

How does the second Cosmog work? Does it evolve according to game of origin or what game it is evolved in?

Also what nature is best for Nihilego?

>>30265240
Perhaps it's just text carried over from the EV-boosting drinks. Save before you try it, I guess.

>>30265240
What stand is this? Sorry but I haven't used the actual stands much. Do I need a specific rank?

So are berry drops random? I want to find a sitrus to plant.

>>30265302
and ghost oricorio

>>30265283
does it have a fairy type move? first one is at level 19 iirc

Balltism: Premium or Luxury for Arcanine?

>>30254759
Where do you go after catching Guzzlord?

>>30265307
It evolves based on game it's in, trade it to a friend with the other version holding a rare candy and they can evolve it into their legend for you

>>30265307
>Also what nature is best for Nihilego?
timid to outspeed the base 90's, modest if you don't care (but you should)

>>30265271
That's fine but if you need levels I recommend at least going there as the trainers will help you level up.

Where is Thunderbolt?

>>30265336
Run around in the grass in the outside area in Ten Carat Hill and it'll randomly attack you, use a repel first if you want to make sure it's it

>>30265336

You can find Necrozma in the grass at Ten Carat Hill, after that you're done.

>>30265316
Friendship Cafe in moon and Parlor in Sun. Cafe only has EV reducing drinks, Parlor has resetting ones. You can buy either facility from a festival goer who has it in their first slot.

>>30254759
HOW DO I EVOLVE MY GOLBAT,ITS BEEN 3 HOURS

>>30265302
You can get snubull/granbull in the grass by where you get machamp. I believe you're right about the other two.

>>30265372
Post-game. If it's Alolachu, you'll need to just get a Heart Scale

>>30265394
Give it a Soothe Bell, get on Tauros, run in circles for 10 minutes

Where do I get the Flying Z crystal?

>>30265394
Friendship at night I think

>>30265381
Okay so as a moonfag how would I buy it? Just find someone with and pay in what exactly, the festival points?

>>30265394
Give it Malasadas.
Which flavor they love depends on their Nature-favored stat.

>>30265447
Ten Carat Hill, past the boulder you need the Machamp pager for.

>>30265381
Actually hang on, I messed this up.

Both facilities have all the EV reducing ones, and each facility has three different resetting ones. So you would need both to get all six stat resets.

And yes, they need to be 5 stars to get all the possible meals. You can't upgrade them, you just have to get lucky with Sophocles offering you one, or buy it off a guest.

>>30265258
It doesn't work on my Tapu Koko, and I'm only at one level of friendship with it though?

It seems to work perfectly fine with Necrozma though, so I don't think it's a Legendary-limited thing

>>30265480
Yeah. It's hard to find one randomly though, I think people are offering it in the plaza thread, just add them as friends and invite.

>>30265482
Serebii says malasadas only increase affection, not happiness.

>>30265500

Bubbles or ripples? I've literlaly never seen bubbles, only some spots with ripples.

Where is the npc who examines EVs and IVs?

>>30265883
Battle royale for EVs
battle tree for ivs

Is it just me, or is Necrozma kind of shitty? Is there something I'm not seeing on this guy? Are you supposed to run him physical, special, or mixed? I haven't caught him yet and I'm still trying to decide on a nature.

>>30265831
Bubbles. You'll see bubbling up in the rock pits. If you run on the route AT ALL or press b on lapras/sharpedo it spooks them away.

How hard is it to get a Destiny Knot via Pickup on a Meowth?

>>30265883
You can check your EVs yourself by pressing Y when examining a Pokemon's summary

Can I get the other starter's unique Z-Crystals?
I started with Popilo, but I got a Litten via wondertrade that I'm using now as well.

>>30266066
You get them at the start of post-game

>>30265986
I've been trying for over 2 hours and had no luck yet

I got a question:

I have a lv. 45 Steenee that I totally forgot was on isle evelup and I just now realized that it only evolves when it learns stomp.

It apparently learns it at lv.20-something is there any way it learns it later close to lv. 50?? Or do I gotta level up another bounsweet

When you use the berries that lower a Pokemon's EV's by 10 points per berry, if you have less than 10 EV's currently can you still use one to get rid of the remaining points?

Battling Dexio first time after the E4, does he always give you an Alakazite, or was it pure luck that I had an Alakazam in my party as well?

>>30266241
He always gives you the mega stone

>>30266185
At the pokecenter near the E4 there is a woman who teaches any pokemon any move it gets via level in exchange for a heart scale.

>>30266289
Bless you based anon

Can you rebattle the Tapus other than the first island one?

>>30254759
are there fucking no special box backgrounds

so i am new to giving a shit about abilities and things, i evolved my poliwhirl into a politoed but he has water absorb instead of drizzle still?

i figured it would change but do i have to catch a fresh politoed instead of using the one i've been using in that case? i've been using rain dance but i'd really like to not have that use a move slot

>>30266382
I think so but I'm not sure. You'd have to re-clear the E4 to reset them. Why would you need to, though? Just battle them once and soft-reset to your autism's content.

>>30266382
yes. Re battle the E4 if they fainted or if you ran

>>30266465
I keep killing Fini by accident and I wanted to just give up on soft resetting the failure.

>>30266444
oh fuck did i need to catch a poliwag with swift swim?

I'm planning on doing a reset in a month for the sake of my iiving dex. I'm currently breeding and training via Pelago a bunch of level 1 competively trained mons to use in game/the tree once I beat it.

I plan on transferring them once I get to island 2 and gradually phase them into my team as the exp.share gets them up to speed. What's everyone's opinion on exactly how much that's going to break the game? I don't feel at all guilty about it since I beat the game properly already.

>>30261805
Yes. Only Mewtwo, box legends (minus Suicune), mythical legends (which still includes Deoxys and Phione), Zygarde, Cosmog, Cosmoem, and Necrozma are banned.

>>30266879

So I'm trying to breed a Bounsweet in a normal pokeball with a male Paras in a friend ball but so far im only getting Bounsweets in normal balls. Am I doing something wrong?

is there a reliable way to get multiple lucky eggs? I kind of want to do what I did in ORAS where I just got 6 lucky eggs and leveled 6 pokemon at once for dex evolution purposes

>>30267234

Two Pokemon lines are the reason.

>Only get one Type:Null
>Can't breed.

I evolved the one from playthough 1 and the one from playthrough 2 will stay a Null.

As for Cosmog.
