Because I accidentally killed the first one I saw on Route 8, and no more are showing up. :suicide:

Do Drampa not live in this ice cave? Serebii says it does but looking for it says otherwise.

A shiny Golbat just showed up before a Drampa has.
If you find a female one, could you breed me an egg or two? I can give you a cyndaquil and a popplio, if you want.

Man Salandit is...not very good.

It got loving stomped by a 2 level lower Masquerain. I think that's grounds to box the poo poo out of this thing.

Yeah I like the design but it's way too fragile and I haven't been finding it strong enough. Like in a one off fight, maybe sure, but for getting around it just gets worn down too fast.


Also the humor's been loving on point so far (I just got to the third island). Team Skull's been great every showing (I got self esteem issues + you forgot us just cause we switched places?), the dramatic slowpoke, the fire trial...

I was totally chill about not being able to have a Totodile in my party until January until I found out you can catch Totodile via Island Scan and holy poo poo I need one right now, gently caress you video game for making my first Island Scan a Spheal instead of Totodile.

Does anybody have a Totodile they can trade? I have nothing of value to offer beyond my undying admiration.

hello friends i am back from my amazing pokemon adventure

i have beat Moon and I loved pretty much every minute of it!!

the story was amazing, i actually really liked ALL of the characters. the only thing i would change would be to give the player character more than one vacant stare facial expression. :downs:

my team ended up as follows:



but it was really the first 5 that carried me throughout the whole game. the 6th slot was more of a rotating leveling spot, and I didn't use Lunala too much since you get her so late. my main guys were always 5-10 levels higher than stuff i would catch and i never got anyone caught up to them.

if i played through again (probably won't, but who knows) I'd have picked Primarina over Decidueye. Mudsdale is a fuckin beast and probably the most surprising in how good he was. Vikavolt and Espeon did a lot of fuckin work too, especially against all the dark and poison type villain teams. Talonflame did what he could but his attacks ended up being a bit weak at the end.

now to take a break for a bit before diving back in and seeing what the actual end game stuff ends up being.

Ugh, I didn't knew in the ending you can just flee from forced story encounter with the Electric Tapu instead of catching it, or I would had just rerolled the nature at my leisure.

Everything since Gen 3 is still existent in code within the games. It's just that there is no known way to get certain items in Gen 7 right now. Particularly certain Mega Stones. As usual, mystery gift events and more games in the generation will add more to the pool of obtainable objects. It's more a matter of when than if.

Ok thanks. The way Smogon was talking I was under the impression it was removed from the game completely.

Left and came back like 5 times, no dice. :v:
e: Well, whatever. Drampa trade on the GTS came through, so I guess I'll pass on Golisopod this time around. Was kinda on the fence about using it in the main game, anyways. It's ability seems like a hindrance more than a help, especially with low speed.

Semi-related, but you can use QR codes to get a 'seen' entry for any mon. Mostly helpful for catching one yourself, not so much for exclusive dudes.

How, exactly, do pokeballs get passed down?
Because I like having all my pokemon in Pokeballs, and this Drampa I'm breeding was caught in an ultra ball. The dad (salandit) was caught in a pokeball, but all of the eggs are coming out as Ultra balls.

You can get other things, I promise. It's just that a lot of them are 5% like Feebas.
