Questions that dont deserve their own thread. Questions Edition

Play the game and find out

>>30432820
Yes, most UBs have multiples. Only Nihilego and Guzzlord are solo. They'll all be found in the area the game tells you they'll be at.

>>30432862
I am, just caught nihilego, but want to catch as many as i can before i move on. Just answer the question please

What you get depends on the version

Sun gets 1 Nihilego, 2 Buzzswole, 2 Xurkitree (I think), 4 Kartana, 1 Guzzlord.

Moon gets 1 Nihilego, 4 Pheromosa, 2 Xurkitree (I think), 2 Celesteela, 1 Guzzlord.

Reposting from previous thread, do you have to do anything besides battling Guzma on the beach to make him show up in the Battle Tree?

I don't want to continue my streak if he's not going to show up, pls help.

What's the best way to increase friendship?

>>30433559
Join avenue only more annoying.

>>30433716
I like soothe bell on the pokemon, and then spinning around on tauros in front of the nursery for a few minutes.

Are there any new clothing options after the elite four?

>>30433716
Use the EV lowering berries
About 20 should max out a Pokemon's friendship

>>30432914
>2 Buzzswole, 4 Pheromosa
>4 Kartana, 2 Celesteela

LITERALLY makes no sense. Why give two extra of UB02 to Moon and two extra of UB04 to Sun? Shouldn't it be 2 bugs, 2 grass? Or four of each? What's with this ridiculous balance?

There's no way someone will trade Pheromosa for a paper cut, and no way someone would give up a badass mosquito for a badass dinner bell.

>>30434045
skull top in po town, that's it

What's an easy way to cheese the Battle Royal? Friend of mine said Muk with Minimize and Sludge Wave, but I can't see that working.

>>30433354
Characteristic, I have no idea.
Nature is Modest. It's fast enough to outspeed a lot of stuff but it's SpA can use the boost.

>>30433716
Luxury Ball or Friend Ball capture.
Make it hold a sooth bell.
Give it a massage in whatever Olivia's hometown is.
Feed it Malasadas it likes.
Don't let it faint.

>>30434128
Damn. Guess it's just the expensive mall stuff left to get then.

>>30434128
>>30434188
You're never given any indication of it, but you also get burgandy and violet contact lenses, too.

Does mimikyu's Disguise prevenient toxic?

>>30435163
Speaking from personal experience just an hour ago with Nanu, no; Toxic ignores Disguise. Same goes with bullshit like Thunder Wave and any other status-inflicting moves that deal no damage.

>>30433716
For low level mons, give it a soothe bell, turn on your exp share then give it about 20 levels.

Is there a glitch or something in gts? I just tried to trade with someone on gts for the first time and got a "comunication error turn your console off".
First time ive ever seen that, and first time ive traded in gts on SM. Are people having problems with gts?

>>30435101
Quirky, -Atk is the worst you can get for Metagross.

Will Sun and Moon lag on my first gen 3DS? or should I buy a 2DS to play SM on?

Why aren't all the mega stones in the game? Are they ever going to be added?

Is Mawile in SuMo and where can I catch it if so?

>>30436018
They are in the game. They're just not obtainable at the moment.

Probably through events and stuff.

I heard that buzzwole flexes when it faints I still haven't finished the main story yet but I'm curious, does it?

>>30434316
Yes. I encountered a second one on Poni Island, on the black sand beach.

>>30435863
It will absolutely lag. I've played SM on both my original and new 3DS's, and it's amazing how much slower the old one runs.

So this is my garfeilf, and I can't take him on battle spot because it has an illegal move, I can only assume it's parting shot. But why? You can find pangoro in sun and moon and when it was genned I made it come from an egg. Pls help I just Wana get sweet momentum

>>30436234
Parting shot is temporarily banned online, it's not the Pokemon

>>30436234
just use u turn

>>30436234
Parting shot and memento are temporarily banned online while they fix a glitch where Z versions disconnect the match

>>30436135
It is not ;-;

I have the Poke Pelago EV training island at +3. How many sessions do I need to do to max out a stat at 252? 63?

>>30436288
Yes

4 EVs per session * 63 sessions = 252 EVs

>>30436287
Fuck me man, I really want one.

>>30436243
Thanks
Any reason as to why?

>>30436256

Will I be able to reteach it if I replace it?

I'm into post-game (aka reached Battle Tree) and gonna prepare myself to start catching the Tapus and UBs.

Any tips on natures I should look out for in them in regards to generic VGC usability?

>>30433286
sounds like scizorite to me. If you already have a mega go for leftovers.

>>30436304
there's a move re-learner somewhere so i assume you can.

Gonna ask again.

Is the Petaya berry really gotten from the tree just north of the town entrance in Poni Wilds? Has anyone got it? I've SR so many times and it's the only berry that won't appear. I only know what Serebii has said.

is there any battle I can use to sketch skill swap? I need it for chaining for hidden abilities.

>>30434140
There's always the focus sash endeavor rattatta

>>30435654
No

>>30432820
What other stat should I invest in my Braviary apart from attack, HP or speed?

>>30436407
I would say health. I don't think it's base speed is really worth investing in, while the health could give you that one extra turn needed to win.

>>30436407
Imo health, braviary is more of a semi fast physical attacker, it won't be able to outspeed most things

>>30436301
Awesome, thanks. Does Pokerus have any impact on that?

Solgaleo,

Adamant or Jolly? It has rubbish enough speed, but looks beefy enough to tank a hit or two while wiping people out.

Useful nature and moveset for Sylveon now that it can't get pixilate hyper voice?

Is there a video showing all the pokeball animations for SM?

>>30432820
Hatching eggs for hours is ahhhh what do you watch to pass the time?

Is it worth upgrading from a launch 3ds to New 3ds for this game? Or should I just wait for a possible successor to the 3ds and just use that if BC.

Why is the Ryhorn Line still the only ground/rock pokemon in existence?

>>30432820
how fucking rare is mimikyu in the thrift shop?

>>30436519
Does the new 3ds actually improve the sluggishness of the game?

I played Y and AS yesterday after a 40 hour Sun streak to get those event pokemons. The graphics looked rubbish but X/AS were actually very responsive compared to Sun. Fast box switching, no lag etc. Sun just feels a bit slow.

What's a good way to build Necrozma? There's so many different suggestions online.

>>30436316
Seconding this. I gotta know what to look out for on Lele and Fini.

>>30436552
Yes apparently

>>30436544
5%

in pokemon x/y and oras you were able to chain pokemon

battle/catch -> next one shows up etc.

Is this still possible to do in sun/moon to chain pokemons that are more rare?

Why in the fuck is it Magikarp every time I fish? Is there a technique? I think I caught a Bruxish once but literally every other time it is a karp.

>>30436433
>>30436439
Thanks. I'll go and max out health, add the last 6 EVs to speed and probably give him an Assault Vest once I can afford it.

>>30433716
I stuck a Soothe Bell on my Igglybuff, gave it a massage and then ran back and forth from Malie's port to the edge of the garbage plant area while surfing the board for a while, topping it off with some EV reduction berries.

>>30436600
The new chaining method is via SOS, when the pokemon calls for help. Google will help further.

>>30436617
Better chance for rare mons in rippling/bubbling spots. Don't approach them too fast or the ripple disappears.

Why can't I sniff his bedsheets?

>>30436658
Same guy, I've only fished when it's rippling. Always karp. I guess I'm just unlucky.

>>30433286
Replace roost and SD with Superpower and Night Slash (or somethings similar) and give him a choice band.

How will you guys be handling your Pokebank living dexes with Alolan forms?

Throw them in right beside their original forms? Mix them in with the proper Gen 7 Pokemon in order of the in-game Regional Pokedex numbers? Dump them at the end of the Gen 7s? Leave them out entirely?

Should I have both Lycanroc if I don't care about things like Unown and Gastrodon forms? They have different Dex entries, but will we need both for the game to consider the Dex complete? What about Zygarde formes?

I dunno, man.

>>30436539
To make them stand out from all the Rock/Ground Pokémon

>>30436876
Same way you would handle split evolutions. Since Some, like Exeggutor and Marowak aren't a full line of new formes.

>Sun gets 4 manletpaper's
>Moon gets only 2 Celesteela's
Explain

So is there anyway to quickly release entire boxes of pokemon, or am I still stuck with the old method?

What's the best ball for gramps over here?

>>30436876
I already have a seperate box and change filled with alternate forms for my living dex, rotoms, gastrodon, floette and shit, deoxys, etc., any alternate form that can be stored in the PC/Bank without disappearing. I'll put Lycanroc, the Minior colours, and the Oricorio in that. I'll make a new box for Alola forms, like I have a box just for Unown and one just for Vivillon.

If you don't already do alt forms, I dunno. Alolan forms are a bit more different than most other forms, might be a good time to start separating them, if only for these.

>>30437008
Sunfags get four UB04, Moonfags get four UB02

Yo where's Flyinium-z?

I got all the other stones.

>>30437098
That one place where you catch rockruffs on Melemele by Kukui's I'm pretty sure. You need daddy Machamp to push a boulder in the cave for you.

>>30437123
I meant Psychicium Z.

I got flyyinium.

>>30437134
Psychium-Z is in the desert, if I'm remembering right.

If you already went through it, you can fly to Bulu's front door. Go down once, and then to the right. It should be there.

If going at it that way backwards fucks it up, follow whatever guide tells you how to get to Bulu's ruins and go right at the end instead of up.

>>30437147
K ty

Do you get new hair styles after beating the game?

Can I fill up the Zygarde core with cells from Zygardes that I obtained from trades?

Does Minior pass down color when breeding?

>>30437171
You get one new hairstyle and two new colours, for males. I think females are the same but they might get more than that. Male gets a messy tousled look, think girls get twintails. Both get red and white for hair colours.

>>30437173
Yes. You can trade all Zygardes, and break all Zygardes into cells. When bank compatibility is up, you can even import your old XY Zygarde and break it down into 50 cells.

>>30437216
Yes.

How are you supposed to get facilities for the plaza.?

Do you just hope for a good roll on the level up or what

Alternatively? what's the best way to get coins to buy them from passerbys?

>>30437222
So in theory, I could snag a 50% zyg fro GTS, break it down into 5 10% zygs, and trade each one separately, right? Thanks anon

>>30437267
So far I've run a bunch of missions, a good team can net you around 30-50 coins.

>>30437267
You hope for a good roll on level up, and when your plaza is upgraded to a certain level (not a very high one), you get the ability to ask guests what their favourite facility is, and put it in your plaza for a coin fee. Someone's favourite facility would be the one in their first slot, I know some people deliberately trade facilities this way.

>>30436477
It gets flame charge so why not adamant

I fucking hate Kada so much. When can I use someone else for multi-battle?

Any way to get my bros Tropius and Scrafty in Sun and Moon?
Alternatively, what's the recommended nature for the UBs?
And what is characteristic supposed to be? Haven't played since BW.

>>30437332
If its characteristic isn't "proud of its power" trash it

>>30437086
Bump

>>30436477
Adamant, Impish, or Careful. Absolute rubbish speed for Ubers does not justify it being Jolly. Having access to clear body, healing moves, and Z-splash could make it a decent tank but nothing else

How does scouting Legends work? I've scouted Plumeria Sina Colress Cynthia and Grimsley but when I beat them again I have the option to scout them again. I did it again for a couple of them just to see if it works and it does but I don't think it has any effect

So after entering the opposite world to get the Cosmog, can I just stay here? I have Moon and wouldn't mind sticking with the regular timezone

>>30437872
You get a flute for that

>>30437332
No to your first question, gotta wait until January.

Characteristics are an overall indication of you pokemon's IVs.

>>30437976
>national dex coming in January
Damn. Next question, the last two games I've played were BW and Emerald, and even then I just emulated them, so I never touched the pokemon bank, ever. How fucked am I if I want to fill the entire dex?

>>30438072
Very fucked. Alola has less than half of all Pokemon, and likely will never have a National Dex feature because Gamefreak doesn't patch shit. XY and ORAS combined had every Pokemon up to that point. If you're a savvy breeder you might be able to pawn off valuable Alolan Pokemon for Pokemon that aren't native to Alola post-bank, but you'd be doing it for like 500 Pokemon.

How is everyone EV training their Mareanie/Toxapex? I have both a regenerator one as well as merciless, probably going to build them both.

Also my battle tree team is Kartana, Garchomp, Mimikyu, anyone have any suggestions on who to replace Mimikyu with? I love it but I don't feel like I can get to 50 with it. Also thinking about replacing Garchomp for Salamence just have to EV train it and level it up.

>>30436443
Yeah, pretty sure you get double EVs

I've been holding out on buying much because I was hoping there would be a way to decrease prices like with the o-powers last gen. Is there something like that this gen, or should I go on a much needed shopping spree?

>>30432820
If you get cured from Pokerus, do you still get double evs?

>>30438380
yeah

>>30438380
Yes. Cured Pokemon still get the EV boost, they just can't pass the affliction on anymore.

Is there a better place to grind than E4? I want to get my bros to 100 to put my bottle caps to use

There's this 2-stage evolution line near the end of the Pokédex that I want to catch blind. If anyone knows what I'm talking about: where can I find them?

where do i find regular diglett or regular dugtrio? are these even in the game?

>>30439563
Number?

>>30439597
I'm not sure. See I'm trying not to spoil myself by looking it up. From what I have seen it's kind of circular of shape and gold of color. Could be 275, 266, or 257.

Can you not dye accessories with the dye houses? Trying to dye my star band red, but playing moon...

Could someone post a list of the things to make sure I complete end game? Or direct me to a site.

>>30439624
Just an assumption, but go back to the altar of (insert version of game).

>>30434073
this. NEVER use any other method. Grow the damn berries.

>>30432820
If you put someone on the Block List do you also stop encountering them on Wonder Trade and Battle Spot?

Does synchronize not work for the tapus, or am I just stupid unlucky?

>>30439624
Not only is every number you mentioned not Gold, but 257 is part of a 3 stage evolution. 257 is a hold item+trade evo. other two are level up evos. only 266 is circular shaped.

>>30439758
Moon doesn't get Red.

why do i see competitive EV spreads with 248 HP for pokemon weak to stealth rock but others not weak to stealth rock sometimes run 252 EVs in HP?

>>30439918
You can dye things red in moon with the dye houses, asking about accessories because the tab is blanked out.

>>30439919
If your mon's hp are divisible by 8, you die in 8 switchins to stealth rock, whereas you need 9 if the hp is not divisible by 8

Do I teach Chip Away to my Event Munchlax or do I keep Amnesia?

Right now Hold Back is the only attacking move it has. Does it get better moves as Snorlax?

>>30440123
look it up.

>>30440139
But I should I keep Amnesia for Snorlax?

>>30439882
This might sound obvious, but make sure your Abra isn't inner focus

so do I have to get some sort of streak in the battle tree to unlock the judge? if so then thats really bogus

>>30433286
I only have sun/moon, no way for superpower or scizorite, afaik

>>30440324
I heard PC iv judge requires 20 eggs hatched

>>30432820
I'm thinking about doing a mono flying run, but I'm debating whether or not decidueye is acceptable. What do you guys think?

Does this game have an item box so I can store all of my extremely specific items?

>>30435163
It also does not ignore the side effects of damaging attacks, just the damage itself, like burns and being frozen.

>>30440520
There's a pocket you can assign specific items to for quick access, that's it.

Do I have to finish all quests for certain characters to get them to show up at the tree? Examples being A)Will Anabel not show up until the UB quest is finished? B) Will Guzma not go until I beat him on the beach? C)Will Colress not show up until I collect the Genesect drives from him?

>>30434122
But that's exactly what we did desu

A) What exactly needs to be done to chain for a hidden ability pokemon that isn't the original pokemon you fight (specifically, mareanie)?
B) Is Tapu Koko's nature set the first time you fight it, or every time you fight it?

Where could I find NSFW versions of the Sun & Moon models?

>>30440294
No, it wasn't that. I only had issues with the cock, so I'm guessing it had something to do with already fighting it (and KOing it) after beating the elite four. Either that or I really was just stupid unlucky

>>30440730
>>30440795 here
Just recently found out that it wasn't set (though I think that's pretty normal for legendary pokemon you can refight), but for some reason my abra wasn't doing shit on him

Should I feel guilty for just immediately chucking a quick ball and catching my solgaleo?

>>30436710
>Night Slash
>Technician

>>30438322

It's too early for custom spreads so I just went 252 hp, 252 def, 6 sp.def for now. Perhaps I'll swap the defences and throw scald on it later.

Alright bear with me it's in important question but I'm retarded and it'd hard to explain

You know when a pokemon summons help, that summoned pokemon has a higher chance of having solid IVs?
Well is that a flat improved rate each time, or is it only going to be better that the pokemon it was summoned by?

So if I always kill the pokemon on the left, then eventually catch it, will it not have good IVs because it was always summoned by the originally encountered shitmon?

Is there a hat you can dye?

Does the everstone trick for passing on natures work in s&m?
Is jolly the best nature or does every pkmn have their best nature?
How can I tell if the hatched Pokémon is strong by looking at the stats?

Can UBs be caught in regular Pokeballs? I like everything to be uniform.

The last slot is currently filled with Zygarde but I don't quite like it desu senpai.

>>30440751
Bump.

>>30434122
The logic is 2 bigger UBs and 4 smaller UBs. And Celesteela isn't Grass.

>>30441328
Wishiwashi would be a good fit imo.

>>30441319
everstone works
natures raise 1 stat and lower another, so yes, its different for each pokemon.
>>30441323
yes.

>>30441328
Go catch a Stufful with Fluffy.

>>30441319
>Does the everstone trick for passing on natures work in s&m?
Yes.
>Is jolly the best nature or does every pkmn have their best nature?
Depends on poke and the set you run.
>How can I tell if the hatched Pokémon is strong by looking at the stats?
Hatch 20 eggs, go to Battle Tree and get the Judge option for your PC.

>>30441323
Yes, it's just difficult.

>>30441328
You need a special sweeper, preferably something fast. Salazzle and Ribombee would both work well, though I can see you're trying to avoid doubling up on types.

Nothing you have is particularly fast.

How do berry dyes work as opposed to normal dyes? What's the deal with pastel and dark colors? Picture guides appreciated.

Do fishing spots only contain Magikarps?

does sun and moon have wearable flip flops?

>>30441425
Thank you so much!

>>30441523
No, but it's common as fuck.
Fish when there's bubbles, usually the rare stuff is more common then.
Bubbles reset by exiting and re-entering the area.

I heard some anons complain that they needed the battle tree music set to the defaut "trainer" for some reason. Anybody know anything about that?

>>30441533
Not for the male trainer at least

>>30441576
Might be how the special opponents only play their battle theme if you have it set to the default. I haven't heard anyone complain about that though

Picking some of my mons for a Battle Tree Battle Team. Which of the mons that I've trained should I put on the Battle Team?

Decidueye, Salazzle, Golisopod, Oranguru, A-Sandslash, Mimikyu, Normal Silvally, A-Marowak, Minior, A-Raichu, Kommo-o.

>>30441553
Fuck, I've only gotten Magikarps when there are bubbles too.

Is there a list of fishable Pokemon around somewhere? I'm just interested in seeing what's available.

>>30441631
Serebii yo.

>>30441479
no picture guide, but
berry dye is available to any house and doesnt cost FC, just appropriate berries
higher dye shop rank unlocks darker shades

>>30441627
Special opponents only appear in super, right?

>>30441228

It makes improvements at intervals at 10. Before that it's the same odds.

Am I missing something super obvious?

>>30442244
Not all three by the way, I evolved the Jangmo-o

>>30442244
No? They just don't get along because you caught both of them yourself. You'll still get an egg eventually, it'll just take longer. Do you not know how this works?

>>30437086
Dive ball or quick ball

I know Z-Moves go through Protect but does it mitigate the damage at all?

>>30442973
You mean in-game or in general? Because you can get another Master Ball if you win the lottery, for example. There's only one Dusk Stone in the actual game but you can get more from Poke Pelago. There's only one Magmarizer you can find but you can buy more with BP.

As far as I know the Apricorn balls and the Lucky Egg can't be gotten anywhere else unless they're traded to you. Not sure about anything else.

>>30441629

If I take a break during a challenge, do I have to use the same team when I return? And if I take a break from singles to do doubles, is my singles streak canceled?

>If I take a break during a challenge, do I have to use the same team when I return?

Nope.

>And if I take a break from singles to do doubles, is my singles streak canceled?

Probably.

>>30443162
You can get one through Pick Up or through fishing but the odds are super low.

>>30443193
>super low
Pretty sure it's nowhere near as low as it was in XYORAS. Got 3 fucking scales before I got my Destiny Knot.

>>30443162
I know I've gotten a few extra without trying. I don't remember if it was fishing or breaking boulders with sharpedo, but I'm pretty sure it was one of them if not both

Does chaining increase normal XP gain as well as EVs?

Is that the fastest way to grind?

If so, where?

>>30443137
I guess I mean items that have few free copies lying around but are otherwise pain to get. I'm thinking about grinding some lucky eggs with my second game and was thinking about what other items should I send to the main game.

I have no clue of doubles and usually don't give a shit but i want to get the 50 win streak. Any Team suggestions for battle tree doubles and multi battle?

>>30436304

It might technically be faster since you can just keep killing whatever shows up without having to encounter another Pokemon but I find it too inconsistent.

>>30440479
>implying owls are birds

>>30443355

Nope.
Best place to grind for EXP is to kill the E4 over and over. It's complete shit but it's something. I've heard you can also get decent EXP gains from the battle restaurant, but I haven't seen any real numbers comparison there and you can only do it once per day anyhow.

With regards to breeding, do I need female parents for anything now except the species of the offspring if I'm not breeding with Ditto?

I'm breeding HA Gibles with egg moves atm and I keep getting shitmons. I got a female HA Gible + 6iv Ditto. Can I use a male HA Gible with said Ditto instead? These fuckers take a long time to hatch.

>>30443715
Females pass on the pokeball, and give a stronger lean to the roll for ability.

Exactly what seems to be the problem? You're calling them "shitmons", but what exactly is going wrong? Not getting the egg moves you want? Bum IVs? Shit natures?

>>30443819
Mostly shit IVs. I think I'm currently using a 4IV female parent.

Isn't the ability 60% to pass down with Ditto? I heard it's 80% if you breed two of the same species.

>>30443819
to continue my >>30443947 post

I'm getting a bit frustrated that I got two boxes of shit Gibles. I.e. not a single one with 5 IVs and HA. Most of them seem to get sand veil ability. I'm just wondering if I'm doing something wrong and if I can improve anything

>>30444004
Did you put Destiny knot on one of them?, if not then they aren't going to pass anything, regarding HA, it's all luck

>>30444063
Yeah knot on the ditto and everstone on the gible.

I kept at it and literally, literally just got my 5iv ha gible a few seconds ago.

I was mainly wondering if there were advantages in using a female parent + ditto over a male parent + ditto. So you say balls get only passed with female parent and HA has better chance to be passed down?

How do I get to the bottom part of Vast Poni Canyon where the Flamethrower TM is?

>>30443947
>>30444004
It seems that you're trying to roll 7 dice at once. Don't do that.

Breed for Nature (since Everstone will almost guarantee your nature passes on from the parent holding the Everstone) first. Then breed for IVs.

Also, is your Ditto holding a Destiny Knot? If you're routinely rolling garbage IVs, that might be the problem. Otherwise, just stick it out. You'll get the one you want eventually.

Breeding for HAs does suck, though, since you have to use a parent with the HA, even when it has shit IVs, making it harder to chain breed up to 5/6 IVs.

What I did was try to get the HA first by chaining SOS until guaranteed 4IVs and used my kadabra with roleplay to check for hidden, nature is a 50/50 with synchronise, then I bred that with my 4IV ditto until I got 5IV parents, doesn't take all that long, yesterday i made a stufful, an HA riolu, a dewpider and a mareanie with hidden.

It's a trade item, the Prism Scale. You can find one on Exeggutor Island as well as get them randomly from fishing or a Pokemon with the Pick Up ability.

Can you use the assembly/separator device on a Zygarde you got in a trade? I'm assuming no, but I haven't actually checked to find out.

Can someone confirm if synchronize works this way:

I put an adamant fainted munchlax on my first slot, then I put a random abra with sync on the second slot, so that it gets into battle first. The enemy has 50% chance to have abra's or munchlax's nature, since the very first bagon I caught this way was adamant?

>>30445950
I think Synchronize only works when your Abra (fainted or not) is in the first slot. And only for the nature that Abra has.

I.e. get Adamant Abra, faint it, put it in first slot and your catcher pokemon in second slot.

>>30445317
Wait, you can?

So, can you get enough cores for complete form with traded Zygardew then?

>>30445950
It no longer works this way, if you want the first encounter to be the nature you want, the synchroniser has to be the one on the first slot with your desired nature, however,l when calling for help, there's a bug, and while your synchronise poke is out, any pokemon that get called are from the nature of the first pokemon in your party, even if it's fainted

Is it true that Minior never calls for help?

>>30445950
The Synchronize pokemon has to be in the first slot, regardless of its status.

In the situation you described, Synchronize would not trigger its secondary effect.

>>30446033
it's any syncro in the first slot will overwrite the synchro of the synchro mon if it's first slot fainted. I/e a fainted adamant abra in the first slot will cause adamant syncrhonize, even if the synchro mon doing the fighting is a modest alakazam

it's just that because it's 50% and the games love of bullshit when the odds aren't 100% you still seem to catch unrelated nature's more than not.

is there ANY way i can make Sharpedo actually 'call' for help more than once every 20 damn turns and not fail 90% of the time even with the orb effect and 1 hp?

I fucking swear every time you don't want chains outside EV training things never stop calling, but every lategame thing you may actually want to use the chain shit on just REFUSES to do so.

and the less said about trying to chain in the desert the better.

As someone who has been playing Pokemon since Red and Blue but SUCKS at battling, what are some good Pokemon I can train up for the Battle Tree? I still don't know what EV/IV are and what natures/characteristics do what. :<

>>30446288
Tapu's and the UB.

Guaranteed 3 max Iv's allowed in the tree and most are broken in some way.

you'll need to look up the ideal natures for them and do a bunch of soft reseting, maybe even get a synchro mons if you really want to min max, but even without they are your easiest 'starter' tree options.

>>30440846
Just bad luck. I have no trouble getting Synchro on Bulu and Fini, Lele took a few tries. Always frustrating to dump all your balls on the legendary and use the master ball before you soft reset just to see what you're missing out on and seeing it was a waste of time anyway.

Anybody got that list that shows learnsets for all sun and moon pokemon? Google doesn't give me shit.

The stats are still determined when receiving the egg, right?

>>30446427
yes.

>>30446043
Yes.

>>30446424
Serebii has all of their learnsets. The search on the site still defaults to the Gen 6 learnsets, but you can switch the tab over to Gen 7.

>>30446043
Yes, but you can't make Zygarde 100% in the game, at least from what I've heard.

If somebody wants to correct me, that'd be swell, as I can't really justify hunting for pieces if only 60 of them are going to be useful.

Alternatively there's a similar wimpod encounter on the final island.

You can't "make" it, you make a Zygarde with the ability Power Construct that allows it to transform into 100%.

But no, you can't have a 100% Zygarde in your party. It needs to trigger its ability by being brought under 50% health to activate and transform.

>>30448325

Yikes, okay, didn't know it could do that.

Does setting the time forward on your ds affect pelago?

How many PokePelago Isle Evelup sessions does it take to max out EVs from 0 to 252?

Can you find out the nature type in GTS?

>>30448902
Yes. Changing the clock at all will keep you from doing any of the following for 48-72 hours after the first time you save after changing your clock:
>Getting daily tickets at the Festival Plaza
>Using any Festival Plaza booth
>Pyukumuku Chucking
>Getting Bean Bottles back
>Having new pokemon show up at the Pelago
>Having new pokemon return to the Pelago to be captured.
>Rolling the Loto ID.
>Any other "One per day" events not listed here.

It won't affect any of the timers in the Pelago, though. You can still farm for berries and shit if you fuck yourself out of the OpD stuff.

i didn't know exp share gave all effected pokemon ev's, whats the most efficient way to remove them? i dont have and of the berries unfortunately

>>30449004
the berries are the only way, but once you have the pelago berry farm you'll be able to get tons.

otherwise your only option is from the battle bar max rank, it's a daily and won't 'let' you use it if the pokemon already maxxed affection for you.

fly around looting those berry piels every day you can remember, you'll get allt he berry types eventually.

>>30448949
63 with a Lv 3 Isle. 84 with Lv 2, and 126 with Lv 1. Pokerus applies, so halve that if the mons you're putting in have Pokerus. (32/42/63, respectively).

Don't forget that you can use beans to cut the training time in half. With a max level isle and full bean application, it takes about 8 hours to max a single stat.

>>30449079
Is it seriously only the one berry pile that gives you the EV lowering berries?

>>30449151
Pretty much. Some of the others have a decent chance, but that one has a high chance of giving you those specific berries.

Just hatched an egg and I could swear it had different music than normal. Still the evolution theme, but noticably different and the first time I heard it. No shiny or anything extraordinary hatched.

Any ideas?

>>30449151
the piles just give you a bunch of random berries, rarer ones are just less common.

a maxxed berry field will give 12 berry per tree as soon as you get eon you'll basically never run out

>>30449182
if your hatching a bunch of eggs it's probably just your brain going half asleep from repetition of something, like how you get less aware if roads are straight liens for too long.

if not it's probably just your brain is still muscle memorizing the old theme, so the slightly remixed sounding one sounds 'off'

>>30449248
Eh, you're probably right.

>>30449083

It's still a bit slow, but its pretty neat we can EV train one or more pokemon while breeding up another teammate.

>>30449280
Go through again.

>>30449296
the buffed bracers allowed SOS chaining to thankfully be as fast as old hordes for straight maxing.

Pelago's a 'lil' annoying when your only do one or two specific Ev amounts due to waiting, but thankfully it's exact control and ability to be done when your not playing or on the side totally compensate.

>>30436316
Don't know if you're still around but I usually see Timid for Lele, Naive/Jolly/Timid for Koko, Adamant for Bulu and Calm/Impish for Fini. I'm guessing for fini is because they usually use her as a support for doubles.

>>30449296
It helps a LOT if you're trying to build multiple teams at the same time. Right now I'm working on about 4 different teams simultaneously. I've got 6 mons training up Speed and 4 training up Attack. Meanwhile, I'm breeding up my tanks and a couple of Special sweepers.

It's really effort efficient, but it does take a while so it can suck if you really loved the time efficiency of horde battles from Gen VI.

>>30449352
The exact control is great for me since I tend to do some fucked up or unusual stat spreads. It's slower than Super Training, but it's hands free.
Might've been better to have both options, but I can live with this.

>>30448720
Get a Pangoro to make a wild Smeargle Sketch it and then your own.

>>30449447
luckily with the berries resetting is super easy. the big problem is more just GF constantly tries to to gate these things as close to post game as they can.

I literally said fuck it and just chained losses at battle royal so i could Attack and Hp braces early,then went back later for SPa and Speed.

there's no reason for the pelago stuff to unlock randomly in mid game beside delay tactic.

>>30436316
I've got no opinions on Tapus, but for UBs the most obvious choices are Timid Nihilego, Adamant Buzzwole, Naive/Hasty Pheromosa, Timid Xurkitree, Jolly Kartana, Adamant Celesteela. Can't help ya on Guzzlord.
You can mix things up a bit if you feel compelled to, of course. I have an Impish Buzzwole and some Adamant Kartana on the side.

>>30448720
Araquanid and Pangoro can learn Entrainment.
Pangoro can also get Scrappy with False Swipe, so its alright for chaining Ghost-types. Parasect is the only Damp + False Swipe user in Alola, so it might be workable for chaining Geodude or hunting Minior.

>>30449556
Half of this game is stalling the player out so that they can't be "done" with the game too quickly. Otherwise an autist and/or tryhard could complete literally everything they ever wanted to do in the game in a day or two. The main plot is only about 20 hours tops (accounting some cutscenes), then you're basically just breeding for the rest of the weekend, and you're done.

You show up to work/school on Monday low on sleep, but you never have to touch the game again except to show off or wreck somebody.

>>30433528
In case anyone is looking for an answer to this, Rare Kitchen 5* in festival plaza has an option to shoot a pokemon up 9 levels in a single purchase

What I've been doing personally is equipping a lucky egg to a poke, heading over to battle buffet and leaving before the 10 turns are up so it just resets. It's been a good way to level up and earn some spare cash while doing so. Especially since each trainer only has 1 pokemon and it's always the same one.

>>30449696
yes but they seem to be more anal about it with Ev training and iv's especially, trying to use it as a post game 'feature'

it never effects people who rush the story because they don't care, and the people who ignore EV training aren't goign to bother in the first place.

it's more an annoyance for people who want to ev trainign during the story/want to ev train their story team for whatever reason so they don't need to worry about it playign the story.

Caught a Level 3 Grubbin with 8/8/8/8/8 as stats and 16 KP. I´m no expert, but when I was breeding, having 6 or 5 in most or all stats was considered "perfect".

>>30450649
That depends on whether you hunt down every trainer and item and take your time, or if you rush
Anywhere from 90 minutes to maybe 4 or even 6 hours. There's quite a bit to do on Poni.

>>30450677
>モふぅ
Means moffu

Which means fluffy

>>30450474
the beans just reduce the time by half for the hours their active.

so if you have a 63 session training thats normally 31:30 hours, but if you use 16 hours of boost it will finish before the duration ends because it completes the 63 sessions in under 16 hours

>>30450474
For whatever time it displays for the beans on the berry/items/EV islands, it doubles time spent.
Say you've got a berry that takes eight hours to grow and put in one patterned bean (gives 1 hour), it's going to make that first hour count as two hours of growth. Put in four hours of beans and it'll halve the total time for this berry. More than that would be wasted, unless you had more berries that took longer to grow out. Same applies for the other islands. I don't know if there are any berries that grow in just 8 hours off the top of my head, just an example.
Beans in bean island just make more wilds show up for the designated time, beans on hotspring give heightened happiness.

Honestly? First time I threw them at stones I got one. Second and third time, too.
RNG is RNG.

I got an Ice Stone on my 2nd stone spelunking. Not another one since.
What did you even do with the first one if you don't have Ninetales or Sandslash in the dex?

>>30451113
I can't decide which one to evolve first so i'm just waiting for the second one.

What are some good leads for Battle Tree?

>>30451113
I have an extra Ice Stone if you're desperate. Put something on the GTS asking for a Snorunt and I'll give you it.

>>30451219
For singles? I've tried Scarf Xurkitree, Specs Salamence and Explosion Normalium-Z Silvally to decent effect.

Too kind. I'll put up one of my breedject smeargles. IGN is Basti.

>>30451345
I think I was sniped. Maybe try something less common? Hopefully the person sniping you gave you an Ice Stone lol.

>>30451345
shit, got sniped. Wanted to give you something good, but I guess i'll have to give you some shitmon.
put up a Pikipek.

Hope that random guy is happy with his 4 IV smeargle.

Don't worry the Snorunt is terrible, I just have loads from Sandshrew searching.

How long of a session do I have to train my pokemon in the Pelgeo gym isle in order for them to max out an EV?

>>30443567
>and you can only do it once per day anyhow
Or you can quit before the course ends and repeat.

>>30451571
Assuming maxed out the island, 31.5 hours. ~16hour with pokebeans and 62 hours if level2, double that for level1.

In short: spend your beans on maxing out the facilities.

>>30451604
It's fully developed.

Where do I find Looker and Anabel on Seafolk Island?!

Holy shit a Mismagius is visiting my Poképelago. Is there anything I can do to raise the chances of it staying with me?

Floating Restaurant.

In the restaurant.
