It's definitely an inherited ball.

Also, I unlocked the IV checker. It's really awesome.

Quite conveniently, my team in general has quite the above average potential. The only bad one is Shiinotic.

My Pelipper is surprisingly good though, it has very good specials and perfect defense. My incineroar also has perfect defense. Mimikyu also has surprisingly good stats.

The surprise of the night was the random feebas I caught back at brooklet hill... It has perfect hp, both defenses, and speed.

The ironic surprise of the night was the magikarp and gyarados I caught that same day... Magikarp has rather good stats, with perfect attack... Gyarados is pretty bad.

@Tsurii I assume it's a Drizzle set? Sturdy Magnezone with Thunder is your friieeeeeendddd.

Seriously. If it's Water/Flying bulk doesn't mean anything unless it's called Mantine (Seriously.)

Hey guys, do you know if you can get infected with the virus if you fight a wild Pokemon with it? Just wondering, because I don't wanna catch ten bazillion of them. xD

@Joeynator3000 That's HOW you get it.

@Tsurii Tailwind Drizzle ew. Did it have Hurricane too for the lolz?

I've seen Lycanroc take hits really well. Midnight Lycanroc anyhow. Not sure on Midday. I'm no competitive battler though, those people left a sour taste in my mouth. "Your team isn't even OU Ill win ez" followed by a Yanmega sweep and claims I cheated. But hey, that's life..

@BLP_Software well in the past I've always just actually caught it by luck instead, so...

@Joeynator3000 It's from battling, you're Pokémon will just catch it. Not sure on the odds. You cant really plan ahead, it'll just happen randomly.

@Tsurii Why does everyone have it called Peeko? XD

As I said, type coverage is indeed a must. Seems like you lacked what breaks Pelipper. That or Freeze-Dry.

@Tsurii Does that get Freeze Dry? I know my Gen 6 bae Aurorus (Broaurus) gets it.

Freeze Dry is fun.

Don't you need to use a contact move on an infected 'mon to receive the virus?

I feel ashamed for not knowing how to soft reset until yesterday after googling it made fishing so much easier. Glad i didn't have to wait for an SOS Mareanie ended up trading my Pinsir for one can easily get another one in the Lush Jungle. So far my Pokedex is at 89/113 just went through the Diglett tunnel.

@Tsurii That works, lemme finish this SOS chaining first and see if I got it from that.

@BLP_Software Peeko is an NPC wingull in RSE/ORAS.

Actually, water/flying is only really weak to electricity... Other than that, it's a rather solid typing.

Peeko didn't have hurricane when I battled Tsurii... But she does now!

I just found something insanely cool
After you finish the game, and get tasked with catching the UBs go to the altar of the Sunne/Moone and there is a hole in spacetime, which gets you to the OTHER version.
The Alltar's and Lake's name's switch.

....Well if they had the bank compatible with these games from the start...>_>

@Meowpheel I know what Peeko is, I just question why every Wingull/Pelipper I ever see is named that instead of...you know...something individual?

Water/Flying is 4x weak to Electricity and Freeze-Dry, with other weaknesses in Rock. It's solid but those two things break it down so fast.

I'm surprised your mind didn't go Drizzle Hurricane from the moment it was shown to have Drizzle

...Nope, didn't get it....and I'm only half-way done with the first stat. TwT

@BLP_Software It learns it at level 55. My peeko was still level 40-something when we battled. It's my main story pelipper, not a competitive one.

I simply like the name.

@Meowpheel It's a weird name. Probably why it stands out.

Ah, that explains it. Also..."My Peeko"? Buy me dinner first please.

For real though, Drizzle Pelipper is pretty nasty. Not sure about Drought Torkoal and Snow Warning Vanilluxe or Sand Stream Gigalith.

You even have the Fairy captain as your avatar.

Given she has no trial and instead you do a Dragon trial of walk in a line instead...is weird. Especially since she is an EIGHTH captain for a 7 trial system. Something was most definitely cut out.

As for Fairy...its fine but it's in a weird position.

Introduced to balance Dragon, okay fair enough, removes the reason Ice was popular but whatever that can hit other things too, and to make Poison and Steel more useful offensively.

But in Generation 6 they introduced a grand total of 2 new Poison moves, only one damaging, and 1 Steel move, non-damaging at that.

This leaves Iron Head, Flash Cannon, Iron Tail, Meteor Mash and Bullet Punch as notable Steel moves, unless you want to chance Heavy Slam, and Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Gunk Shot and Venoshock as notable Poison moves, unless you really want to try Belch or hitting a Fairy physically.

Plus, the two common Fairies from Gen 6, Mawile and Klefki, only take SE damage from Fire and Ground and a lot of Fairies are of the "Sit there and take hits" type.

I honestly think Dragon should have been nerfed on it's own, rather than adding a new type that takes many of the problems for Dragon for its own, and failing to make two types good, as they didn't add things in to do that on a wide enough scale.

My go to strategy for Dragons is still hit it with Ice, but Fairy? Hit as hard as you can and pray.
