>>30543000
Haha.
Fuck you.

Does anything special happen if you beat the Masked Royal during one of his random appearances? Just got bopped and didn't get anything.

>>30543000
finish UB quest to get 1 million

Is it worth EV training both defenses on a mon with low HP? instead of HP and one of the defenses
something like Corsola that gets reliable recovery

Teach me how to breed.
I have two Beldums, one has 4IVs and one is in a Beast Ball. I don't think either has that great of a Nature. So I should equip a Destiny Knot to the 4IV one and breed them until I get one with a good Nature and the proper ball?

>>30543000
Amulet Coin + Happy Hour versus the Elite 4 will net you a tidy sum.
>>30543073
It's random? Shit, I must have shitty luck because I've played a ton of Master rank matches and haven't seen him once. Can you upload battle videos from there, by the way? All my attempts to upload stuff from in-game facilities have failed.
>>30543374
You can't breed two Beldum together since they're genderless, but Beldum + Ditto works with the setup you're describing. Ask around /vp/ and you'll probably find someone distributing a 6IV ditto for you.

Is Tapu Koko's nature set in stone after the first Champion encounter?

>>30543411
I don't know if it's random or not, but I've only seen him once. Dunno about uploading either, I didn't save a video.

>>30543374
Get a ditto for genderless breeding
and instead of trying your luck with the nature, get an abra or a pokemon with synchronize as the ability, and see if you can breed the right nature on that, so you can then go catch a ditto while that synchronize pokemon is leading your party

What exactly is the timeline re: years between games/which ones take place around the same time? Google is being remarkably unhelpful.

I accidentally fucked my game cartridges time by using it on my friends 3DS. Now time won't progress.

How long do I have to wait? This is the first time it happened for me.

>>30543548
24 hours. Make sure you save your game or it won't count down properly.

>>30543548
Mine was around 48 hours I think.

If you use a Z-move, does it count as the item being consumed? I want to know if I could run Nature madness and acrobatics on tapu koko

>>30543694
Nope. The item is still there.

What nature for nihilego?

What are the best moves for Salandit looking forward to the evolution.

>>30543791
Toxic + Venoshock (TM)
is a breddy gud combo

if u survive long enough to use it

>>30543780
fug nature

>>30543882
I'll look out for that...is there a place that like ranks moves because I just have no idea what is good and what isn't. Trying to decide if I should replace something with Double Slap atm specifically.

>>30543919
no, double slap is fucking trash.

>>30543919
double slap is absolutely horrendous

>>30543941
>>30543949
I thought so I just wanted to make sure and get advice for the future. Any other moves I should look out for that are worth replacing any of the Ember, Dragon Rage, Sweet Scent, Smog?

>>30543990
By thought so I mean I had a feeling, I have no idea what I'm doing so I don't mean to make it sound like I do haha

>>30543919
Salazzle's Base Attack is 64, its Sp. Atk is 111. Don't teach it physical moves (ones with the orange box and a yellow spark/star thing) teach it special moves (blue box with the light blue/white ripples)

>>30544029
and choose ones based mostly on Accuracy, if it is 100 or -- then look at the damage, if it is higher than the damage of a move it already knows switch it out.

>>30544029
Ok, thanks for the info.

If I were to EV train it to be better with various things, (though I'm not really going for competitive, I still want it to be pretty strong) which stat would you say is worth investing in the most? All Sp. Atk?

>>30543990
Replace Smog with Venoshock or Sludge Bomb. Both are TM's, just google where to find them.

Replace Sweet Scent with Toxic.
You can get the Toxic TM somewhere, just google where to find it.

Replace Dragon Rage with Dragon Pulse when you get it.

Replace Ember with Flame Burst when your female salandit evolves.

It is female, right?
Only female salandits evolve.

How should I raise Honedge? Particularly for the Battle Tree?

>>30544111
Yep, it's a shiny female, bashful nature.

Is there any point using the higher level Isle Aphun stuff? Seems like just a higher % chance to get useless shit

Is there a better way to get the IVs and nature that I want while breeding? I'm trying to get a minior so I have a perfect ditto with a destiny knot and a minior with 5 perfect but with a neutral nature. I've hatched maybe 25 eggs to try and get something usable but no luck so far.

Should I instead have searched for a minior with a desirable nature when I was looking for breeding stock to cut down on RNG? What's this abra thing?

Where is the best place to level up pokes that I'm breeding?

>>30544203
you can get evo stones

>>30544249
What nature is the ditto? if it has the right nature, stick the everstone on that and the destiny knot on the minior.

Regarding the IV Judge, I have bred a Popplio that reads Best for all but Spec. Defense. Instead, Spec. Defense reads as Fantastic. What does this mean?

>>30544337
if I remember correctly, "Fantastic" is 30.

>>30544337
fantastic is 30 out of 31 in regard to a IV

>>30544087
Sp. Atk and Speed. You can max two stats to the cap, and its defenses are bad enough that pumping them won't do much for you.

I'd prioritize special attack first though. In my experience at least, it's in for a bad time if it takes more than one or two hits to kill its opponent.

How do you give pokemon a high five in the Refresh? And can you still give them a rub when they win a battle, because I've seen them turn their head around expecting a pat like in XY/ORAS.

What's the best way to grind mons to 100?

I'm looking at chaining on Serebii, and some of the pokemon have 3 different lists of S.O.S pokemon they can call

http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/alola/route1.shtml

>Additional S.O.S. Slot
Lv. 3-5
Note: May not correspond. See S.O.S. Details

what does this mean? Does it cycle between the 3?

>>30544720
It's an unknown chance which pokemon will answer the call, there's no rotation otherwise getting a slamance early game would be broken as fuck.

>>30544781
Ohh ok, I'm chaining Grubbin to try get Pichu/Happiny, but more Grubbin keep coming even though Serebii doesn't have it listed

So how do you level past 70 in this game?

Can you rebattle Guzma, Faba, the GF dev., and the other post-game rematches daily or is this a one time thing?

Does Mareanie call for more Mareanies after it shows up in an S.O.S. battle? If not, how are you supposed to get it with its HA?

I'm trying to build a team where I use ultimate Evoboost and then baton pass that to Garchomp, then make Garchomp Mega Evolve and use Swords Dance Twice Through Instruct on Oranguru. I wanted Oranguru to have it so it could make sure Eevee survives through the first turn where it uses Evoboost.

Anyone know what happens when you lose to the elite four or an elite four challenger in sun and moon?

>>30545566
Nope. You have to kill them and leave the Corsola alive until you get to like 40 in the chain then use an attack like skill swap to figure out what its ability is. It will try to kill Corsola which ends the chain, so you have to make sure Corsola is not completely on the verge of death on top of everything else.

>>30543430
Of course not.

>>30546544
If the move would kill the smeargle, just false swipé one, wait for help and kill the one that sketched falseswipe.
The new one would sketch your move and still have too much HP to call for help.

How do you raise happiness? I've had this stupid little shit in my party all day. I pet it after every battle. I feed it beans. And it still has only one heart. All I want is it to evolve for my dex so I can box it for eternity.

>>30548232
Happiness =/= affection. Take it into the box below the daycare and spin around on tauros for a few minutes, then level it up and see if it worked.

>>30547600
>>30547600
sure why not?

For HP Fire you need a number between 34-37

>You start with a 0.
>Add 32 if the Special Defense IV is odd.
>Add 16 if the Special Attack IV is odd.
>Add 8 if the Speed IV is odd.
>Add 4 if the Defense IV is odd.
>Add 2 if the Attack IV is odd.
>Add 1 if the HP IV is odd.

So to get HP Fire go for perfect IVs in HP, Attack and Spec Def and then even numbered IVs on everything else.

Cram EV-reducing berries down its throat, they work even when a pokemon doesn't have EV.

Just pokeball inheritance changes I believe
-Males/Genderless pass down pokeball when bred with ditto
-Males can sometimes pass down pokeball when bred with female of same species

And once pokebank comes out
-Give a Kanto form pokemon an Everstone to force the Kanto form when breeding.

>>30548627
ok but what about his question? Has anything changed since that chart was made?

Why is Lucario suddenly such hot garbage? Didn't it used to be prebby good? Or is that just a misconception I hold because of how popular it is as a pokemon?

>>30546354
Director John Gamefreak in the Gamefreak office in Heahea city

>>30548222
It's really not that hard. There are just a couple things you need to understand:

- Natures and how to pass them down (Everstone on mother)

- IVs and how to pass them down (Destiny Knot on father)

- Egg Moves and how to pass them down (which is really easy)

- Abilities/Hidden Abilities and how to pass those down (mother with ability of choice)

Do i see the big pearls/pearl string at the marts or are there special buyers for them? i know in black/white you could sell tiny mushrooms for a higher price

Earliest Fire Pokemon in Sun other than starter?

>>30548741
>Everstone on mother
>Destiny knot on father
It doesn't matter which gender holds what. The parent that has the nature you want holds the everstone. The other parent holds the destiny knot.

If the father has the correct nature, then the father holds the everstone and the mother holds the destiny knot.

>>30548232
I usually just keep it in my party for a while and get steps in or just level it enough until just evolves. Never that much effort for me personally.

Incidentally, what level of happiness do newly hatched pokemon have?

>>30547980
this makes me hard.

>>30548823
I guess that's an option. I've always just preferred doing it the other way. I tend to breed male pokemon with perfect IVs so I can just use it as a catch all father for other pokemon in its egg group. If I had a female with perfect IVs, I wouldn't be able to do much with it except breed more pokemon of that species (though I do keep the mothers with the highest IVs for later breeding if necessary).

>>30548222
If you don't have one of those 6V Dittos that have been floating around, here's what you do.

First, acquire two items: a Destiny Knot, which can be purchased at the Battle Tree for 48 BP, or alternately, acquired by a Pokemon with Pickup (probably the easier option). If held by a parent, this will pass 5 IVs between both parents to the offspring, whereas the usual amount is 3, I believe. You'll also want an Everstone (just use Thief on Roggenrola, they have a 50% chance of carrying) on the parent with the offspring's desired nature.

To get good IVs on a parent, simply SOS chain it. After long enough (I think about 40 steps), the Pokemon that get summoned are guaranteed 4 random perfect IVs. If possible, get a male and female in this manner, and make sure you check their IVs with the in-game judge (gotten from the Ace Trainer at the Battle Tree, accessed through PC) or with Serebii's calc (make sure you calculate everything as soon as you catch a Pokemon; you don't want unknown EVs messing with your data) http://www.serebii.net/games/iv-calcsm.shtml (That calc won't be any good for newborn Pokemon since their stats are still too low to determine anything from)

Once you have two good parents, make them hold the aforementioned items and start hatching eggs (get a Flame Body Pokemon like Fletchinder to speed this up), keep checking the offspring's IVs until you get good ones, swap parents out with the offspring, rinse and repeat until perfect.

I made a visual.

>>30548823
This is true but if you have a father with perfect IVs, you can breed any female pokemon in its egg group with it and inherit its IVs. Perfect IVs on a mother is good but you can only use it to breed more of that same pokemon. Saves time if you have a dedicated perfect IV father for every egg group.

>>30549084
thanks, anon, you're my hero

>>30549098
>>30548967
Good point. I just thought they meant the everstone was restricted to only work if held by the mother (because it used to be that way)

Is Necrozma a UB or a legendary?

>>30550009
Legendary. Doesn't have Beast Boost, has 600 BST instead of 570, and Beast Balls won't have an increased capture rate.

>>30549949
SOS chains.

How the fuck do I log in on the Global Link website? I can't see it anywhere.

Does the Shiny Charm require capturing all of the Pokémon or is it just seeing them?

>>30550338
You have to catch the whole National Dex.

So walk me through how I am meant to make a good pokemon for vgc. Is it basically like

1: breed 100 abras for the natures I want
2: use it to catch the pokemon with the nature
3: get a 4iv ditto with sos chaining
4:breed the ditto with the pokemon with knot and everstone and switch them around if the babbies have good iv until I have a good pokemon???

>>30550009
>>30550113
That, and I believe Looker confirms that it isn't a UB after you capture it.
>>30550338
Capturing.

>>30550349
Not in Sun/moon it doesn't have a national dex.

>>30550371
16 different nature'd abras at most

>>30550378
My bad, I meant Regional, not National.

I forgot to get the second Nihilego and went on to catch the rest of the UBs. Is there anyway to go back and get it?

>>30550371
you don't even need to breed for the abras, just go on wonder trade and you'll have a collection of them in no time

>>30550009
>>30550113
>>30550376
It probably will be a beast lore-wise later since it has only prime number stats like ultra beasts and the cosmog line.

Has there been any canon indication of what Kukui's "official" starter evo is? I've just been assuming this whole time that it's MC gets Decidueye, Hau gets Primarina, and Kukui gets Incineroar, but lately I've been hearing that it's confirmed that Kukui is canonically supposed to have Decidueye.

>>30550470
Cool beans.

>but lately I've been hearing that it's confirmed that Kukui is canonically supposed to have Decidueye.
That imply the canon starter for the protag is popplio and protags don't have canon starters

So what was the "big secret" CoroCoro said that the starters and Rockruff shared? Because it wasn't signature Z-moves, Type:Null, or split evos.

>>30550765

>>30550765
the secret was that they all have secrets.
the starter line has their own z moves, rockruff has a split evo. maybe that's where the "starters have split evos" rumor came from?

In order for cute charm to work in an SOS battle, does it have to only be your lead (alive) pokemon at the start of the battle, or does it have to be your active for each call?
I'm chaining eevees and neither seems to be making more females.

>>30550516
incineroar makes sense due to his wrestling connection

>>30548756
Anon already mentioned Growlithe but you can also get Cyndaquil on route 3 through the QR Finder.

How do you hear battle legends signature theme? I get to battle tree, fight Wally, wait to hear his badass theme, but it doesnt play. Tf do i do

>>30551050

Why is it so difficult to find a Light Ball on a Pikachu? I've been chaining Pichu forever, and I've been through 25 Pikachu at this point, and not a single one has had a Light Ball. I know there's a Light Ball later in the game, but I would prefer to have one early.

And what point do IVs hit their max in a chain?

>>30550963
>due to his wrestling connection
What?

Anyone know any double battle ecounters in the wild in pokemon sun/moon?

>>30550843
Not sure about cute charm specifically, but compound eyes only works if butterfree is active for each call. I know because I thief'd over 50 Elekids with nothing to show using Krookodile. I switched to butterfree the whole fight and got 2 items within 10 Elekids.

I have a party full of Lillipups with Pickup so I can get Destiny Knot. Why do they all get boosted experience? I'm the OT of all of them, they have no lucky eggs, and I haven't touched Refresh.
Also, am I doing something wrong here? It's been about three hours and I haven't found any Destiny Knots. Do they have to be a certain level? Every resource I've found says that's not a requirement anymore.

I only just finished Melemele Island, but I have a Pikachu and I'd like to get a Light Ball early on. I've seen a few Hidden Ability Pichu and Pikachu, and I've been through perhaps 80 Pokémon in this chain at this point, but I'd really just like to get a Light Ball.

Lunala and Solgaleo have really annoyingly long cutscenes after catching them that interferes with that a bit, but everything else is fair game.

>>30551273
1. Get a pokemon that only knows recycle.
2. Get a pokemon that knows switcheroo, give it a Leppa berry (I think that's the PP restoring one).
3. Lead with recycle-only pokemon, let the lead ditto transform into it.
4. Change to switcheroo user, give the transformed ditto the leppa berry.
5. Chain as normal with false swipe/adrenaline orb. The original ditto will never run out of PP.

>>30551400
How HIGH do I chain? I'm doing it right now; I know how.

>>30551273

munchlax holding leppa berry, only knows recycle as lead

switch to false swipe user, use adrenaline orb, false swipe it to 1 health

kill called in ditto 30-40 times then kill the munchlax copy and capture the newest call in

guaranteed 4 ivs

>>30551273

I'd assume so. Male's with HAs can be ditto'd as of last gen. Don't think being male exclusive changes that.

Also, I just beat the ghost trial. How far in the game am I? I feel like I'm far, but I've only seen Gumzo and Lusamine once, and everyone is making it seem like they have a lot of build and backstory. But I have 40 hours just from mostly fucking around, so that probably throws me off.

Does Hidden Power affect anything else aside from the element type and IV values of the pokemon?

Also, just found out that you can high-five pokemon in refresh. What other actions can you do, aside from feeding/dropping beans, petting them, and tapping them repeatedly?

>>30552085
>Does Hidden Power affect anything else aside from the element type and IV values of the pokemon?

If you mean, "Is the typing of Hidden Power governed by anything besides IVs?" then no. If you mean anything else, wtf are you talking about?

>>30551854

yep, use butterfree

>>30551654

males can pass HA with ditto at 20% chance, think female is 60%

>>30552134
Why Butterfree? Also ty

>>30548719
Mega Lucario was OP in X/Y, at least for the main game. You can easily solo E4 with him.
idk about competitive though as I am a mere casual

>>30552161

compoundeyes ability increases chance of held items being there, think 5% goes to 20% or something, also butterfree can learn Thief, so you dont gotta switch or nothing

>>30552246
Oh yeah, fuckin' nice. Thanks again.

GF has been hinting at dark stuff in all their pokemon games
ex) the entire fucking pokemon tower in gen 1
ex) burned tower in gen 2
ex) mt. pyre in gen 3
ex) emma's story in gen 6

and there are bits of dialogue that suggested the pokemon world wasn't all sunshine and happiness too. the only difference here is that it's more pronounced, the trainers you fight literally admit straight up to you some depressing things rather than hint at them.

HP or defenses investment for Wishiwashi?

>>30552674
HP always
wishiwashi doesn't have reliable recovery outside of rest which means you need to focus on improving your HP to good levels and do as much damage as you can with your monster attacking stats before going down

I got a Light Ball. Then I got up to Pichu 85 and caught #84 because it had its Hidden Ability.

>Pichu - Level: 4, Nature: Jolly (+Speed, -Sp. Atk), Ability: Lightning Rod
HP - 16
Attack - 9
Defense - 7
Sp. Atk - 7
Sp. Def - 9
Speed - 12
Characteristic: Alert to sounds

Base stats
HP - 20
Attack - 40
Defense 15
Sp. Atk - 35
Sp. Def - 35
Speed - 60

I can't check IVs yet, and this is a pretty big guess at such a low level, but
HP - 10 to 31
Attack - 20 to 31
Defense - 20 to 31
Sp. Atk - 0 to 27
Sp. Def - 30 or 31
Speed - 31

I should probably put EVs into Attack and Speed? Should I keep it as a Pikachu w/Light Ball or evolve it into Alolan Raichu? It's not gonna be a Special Attacker with that nature and that potential IV, so I'm guessing the former. But I'm not gonna have access to egg moves like Volt Tackle or Thunder Punch.

Does the natural sun in the Desert count for Castfrom SOS? I am in dust cloud battle with a Sandile and all it is calling are Sandile's.

That is, can I let the rest of the end cutscenes play out so I can go straight to Tapu Koko without facing the E4, or should I go ahead and reset my system since I'll need to refight Kukui for another shot at Tapu Koko either way?

just caught a Adamant Solgaleo after 2 days of SR, but I don't know if I should keep it or SR again.
>(24/22/31/19/31/31)

What should I do?

As someone completely new to Breeding, how do I max IVs on a Pokemon? I've bred several generations of Wimpod with a 6 IV Ditto with a Destiny Knot. I'm at the point where every baby I have usually has 5 IVs at Best and one not at Best. Is there anything I do here or is it entirely random? Also trying to get Adamant Nature, is that entirely random in the offspring or is there anything I can do to force it? I must've hatched 200 eggs by now.

>>30564279
destiny knot ensures 5 IVs from both parents combined total of 12 are passed down
the 6th is random so its a 1/31 chance it will be max
generally the 6th iv isnt worth worrying about because its usually left on a burn stat

for nature you can give whichever parent with the nature you want an everstone, that gives it a 50% chance of it being passed down

been a while since ive done any breeding so if i got any of that wrong lemme know

>>30564195
Keep it and just use bottle caps for everything except sp.attack

>>30564366
Everstone is now a 100% chance of passing on nature.

>>30564452
oh shit
is that a gen 7 thing or a gen 6 thing i didnt know about?
