Topic: Pokémon Sun & Moon - Discussion & Speculation

Oddly enough Wishiwashi didn't give me much trouble. xD

I caught a timid xmastree. Xuxitril? Circuitry? Electric UB guy.

Too bad its IVs are quite literally all in the wrong places. And just decent in the important ones. I guess I'll have to get it to level 100.

Regardless, it should be useful in the battle tree.

Gotta love the Assault Vest, with that and a little change in the EVs my Inciniroar is now decent, not competitive, but at least in the SuperSingle battles of the battle tree is giving nightmares to many opponents XD

Althought to be fair I gotta love the battle tree in general, with the opponents be challanging since the first round I'm having so much fun doing the battles that this is the first Pkmn game where I managed to collect enough BPs to get stuffs like the Assault Vest and more.

My Magneton seems to be quite good, which is probably why. (well, that and the owl, lol)

Now that I'm done with xutietree, ugh electric terrain, celesteela should be a bit easier to catch.

Any suggestions for natures?

Catching these in premier balls makes it a bit more interesting.

_{Oh for- Really? How did I not notice that?! It's Rotom all over again for me...}

Aside from Battle Tree, I think I've done everything post-game has to offer and I really enjoyed it all. I kinda want to try online but when it comes to Pokémon, it's always intimidating me because I see amazing strategies. That and people always seem to use the same Team which put me off. I do really appreciate how in Sun/Moon, some of the more competitive items are given to you during the main game (stuff like the Life Orb, Air Balloon and Red Card are gifts or items you can pick up) and none of the TMs are locked behind the Battle Tree. I hate how previous games did that, was never of the battle facilities because of stuff like that...

I managed to get a timid xurkitree, I just hyper trained him to be perfect.

That's atleast one good thing about hyper training, you just have to have the right natures of a pokemon. You can soft reset past gen legends and then transfer them and hyper train.

@DreamyViridi I probably would avoid online too, then again just don't battle randoms. I still remember back then my team got one-shotted by a bunch of baby Pokemon. -.-

I seriously just beat the game with Decidueye, Pelipper (shiny), Raichu, Salazzle, Mudsdale and Bewear, and already I want to do a second playthrough with Crabrawler, Wishiwashi, Bounsweet and Vulpix among others. I guess I have to get a copy of Moon as well

@Joeynator3000 - Ah, I've seen teams like that, some people can really bring out the potential in almost any 'mon. Watching unique battles like that is entertaining, I only really did a few battles in Gen 5 and didn't even bother with Gen 6.

Maybe I'm better off spectating, though I may breed my own Pokémon anyway.

@DreamyViridi @Joeynator3000 Online doesn't seem so bad right now, all team I met were pretty fair, a UB at most and no cheating... althought I only did two matches ^_^;
Still, back when I tried online in old gens EVERY battle was an annoying feast of the same OP Pkmn and cheating, so I can already see an improvement here XD

(@DreamyViridi Your avatar!!! Love Tapu Lele, the little one did wonders for me at the battle tree, the true definition of cute&deadly X3).

I still say we should just do NL-only battles or something. xD
Would like to put some of my new Pokemon to the test at some point. Then try out my bug-team again once the Bank support happens.

EDIT: Better yet, it wouldn't be perfect, but we could do our own Nintendo Life Pokemon League. lol
With Gym Leaders, the Elite Four, and a Champion. Would be fun...-w-

would you rather have

a third special version of sun / moon that retells the same story with some bonuses

or something like black 2 +white 2 where we get direct sequels story wise?

It seems they have stopped with the "third version" completely, no Pokemon Grey (we got sequels instead), or Pokemon Z. (they just expanded Zygarde's story in the next generation)

Then again, with the Switch and if the rumors are true, they could have the third version always be the HD/Switch version of Pokemon games.

A third edition that is a sequel to both games, where the empty lots around alola are either gyms or battle facilities.

gives the Battle Royale another try after EV training a Dugtrio, still gets one-shotted by the CPUs while Dugtrio can only do a fraction of damage to everyone, gets 1 BP

....Yeah this is a waste of time.

pro tip for battle royal: use a strong pokemon that can one shot everyone at the same time, and that is inmune to everything.

Also, use your master ball on a pokemon that you want on your team but is hard to catch. Like fearow Or tentacruel.

Wild explosive shinies.

I forgot everyone carries around a damp pokemon

In other news. Omg, I finally got a cosmog from the gts. For a garbador of all things.

Now I just need... Solgaleo, a second type null, and kartana for my living Dex. I think.

Edit: Got type null for a milotic I got a few minutes ago.

Edit 2: Got solgaleo for Politoed. That Politoed I hunted for days had a use after all.

Edit 3: welp. Got kartana for a 10% Zygarde. Losing the cells forever stings a little... But I don't really care.

Edit 4: after a complicated sequence of trades, I got another 10% Zygarde and seaparated it. So now all is fine.

Also, I registered all the tapus, so now I don't need to catch them before poke bank.

The trading sequence.... Went like this.

Garchomp for Tapu Fini. Clefable for Tapu Koko. Tapu Koko for Tapu Lele. Tapu Lele for Tapu Bulu. Tapu Fini for another Tapu Koko. Tapu Koko #2 for 10% Zygarde. 10% Zygarde for ten cells.

Only the Tapu Bulu survived. For now.

And now it's 3 am. ;_;

Today I traded a Beldum for a Scizor, which then I traded for a Guzzlord, which then I traded for a Cosmoem, which allowed me to trade the Cosmog I got yesterday for a Necrozma.

Long story short, I completed the Pokédex.

Yay Shiny charm.
