>Gabite has Take Down, can kill itself with recoil if you fail to catch it and it wakes up early
WHO THOUGHT THIS BULLSHIT WAS A GOOD IDEA REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I thought it had to be overworld weather (i.e the area you're in have to already have the weather up) that cause Gabite and it's fellow weather friends to appear.

No, it can be Ability / Sandstorm move.
The desert in Sun and Moon only has Harsh Sunlight in the day time. I don't know if it turns into Sandstorm in the evening (or ever is naturally Sandstorm).
Also, I haven't seen a Castform yet.
I should have added to OP if anyone has other bullshit SOS chain stories.

>perma sanstorm at night
I HAD NO FUCKING IDEA.
My timeframe to play pretty much corresponds to Daylight time in game.
>Trapinch
Trapinch has Dig too. But I suppose that doesn't matter if I do it at night with Perma Sandstorm.

I was chaining for HA Mareanie which finding the corsola in the first place is annoying and the Mareanie attack Corsola a lot so you have to leave Corsola higher than 1 hp so it doens't get chip shotted out. Mareanie doens't call for help either. Also Corsola sometimes knows recover which can be anoying unless you fight a specific level one to chain off of. I've had some of them struggle to death while waiting for a HA Mareanie. I got one eventually though an hour later.

Still better than Swagger and Embargo

Yeah, I totally forgot to mention that Embargo was a huge fucking pain in the ass too.
