@Ryu_Niiyama They must be the ancestors of Bruxish.

I'm clearly not as patient as other people when it comes to catching. I usually sneak up at a safe distance (sometimes with stealth spray) and go straight for a Wing Ball or something. If I fail I either resort to a couple of rotten apricorns or a battle.

@Buizel I almost always find the nearest grass patch (or use a smoke bomb), throw an Oran Berry/whatever food I have on me at the time to lure the Pokemon away so it's back is turned, then chuck whatever ball would work the best so I get the back-strike bonus. It's so satisfying to do, especially when you're using it on a gigantic alpha like Rhyperior or Garchomp. There are other times as well where there's a big congregation of Pokemon (not necessarily an outbreak) that I just go 'F**** IT' and just chuck as many Ultra Balls as I can. One of them's gotta work, right?

@Fizza a good strategy actually. I usually don't force the back-strike bonus but maybe I should on the rarer ones.

Smoke bombs are godly. I find it pretty funny that the Pokemon aren't bothered by a cloud of smoke appearing out of nowhere.

@Buizel They probably just think something's using Smokescreen.

So I finally got my full team of Pokemon and it includes:
Decidueye
Sylveon
Ninetales
Alolan Ninetales
Rotom
Spiritomb

I know it might not be the most efficient team, but I dont care!

@Wewalia That's very well rounded! Is your Rotom in any form besides Base? I would suggest Heat if you have the machine for Steel types since you have 2 Fairy types, one of which is quad weak.

How do you catch or fight 5fps Crobat at the top of Icebound Falls? It's just flying in midair with no ledge near enough.

@Grumblevolcano Maybe try and get to a ledge near it with Braviary/Sneasler and chuck Jet Balls from there? I haven't gone for it myself so I'm not entirely sure.

@Fizza I don’t actually know where to change or get the other forms for Rotom, do you by any chance?

@Wewalia Keep speaking with Ginter in the village, he'll randomly let you buy a Mechanical (blank). If he doesn't have it, you'll need to do some work outside the village and come back to try and reset it. If you're looking for Heat, look out for a 'Mechanical Box'. You'll need to save up some money for it though; it starts at $20,000 and only goes up from there.

@Fizza Thank you! I was wondering about that.

Does anyone has tips on how to catch that stupid flying blue fish that I will not name, Its so annoying, where the heck did it learn how to fly anyway.

I just realized this game reminds me a lot of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time.

Except without all the emotional moments.

@Eel

Ok, I feel like this needs to be said.

Does anyone else think that the fact that there is no Hisuian agislash is the biggest missed opportunity, in this whole game.

@Snatcher : We didn't have Alolan Solrock, Lunatone, Cresselia, Darkrai, or hula-skirt Jynx in Gen VII, nor have we had Galarian Aegislash, Shieldon or Bastiodon in Gen VIII.

Missed opportunities are a trademark of the franchise.

@Silly_G When you put it like that, thats true.

Gotta keep some interesting regional variants for future games.

Can't say I expected the 2 hardest Pokemon to obtain to be the franchise's 2 mascots (Pikachu and Eevee). Both Pokemon are very rare, outside of trainer battles I only saw Pikachu once and haven't seen Eevee yet.
