Looks like Dusk Form is gonna have Accelrock AND Counter, with Tough Claws as an ability.

Well hey, that makes Accelrock into an 80 BP priority rock move after STAB. That ain't nothing I guess.

Now we just need its stats and also for Tapu Lele to retroactively not exist.

So it looks like there will be a special Rockruff distribution that will be able to evolve into Dusk Dog.

If it makes you feel any better, it'll probably be over wi-fi mystery gift. That's how the 'gift for buying the game right as it comes out' stuff has worked for a while.

New form with little effort put into it, event-exclusive, won't be able to leave USUM (let's not pretend this isn't the case).

Spiky-Eared Lycanroc.

Even the base forms don't do this and are instead locked to the cartridge. Still stupid, but consistent.

I don't think they will since those are dual versions as well, so presumably a regular Rockruff will evolve into Midnight in UM and into Midday in US. Or vice versa if they want to switch it up compared to SM.

Is there anything interesting in the Battle Tree in SM? Wondering what to do after catching all the Tapu and UBs.

Edit: Actually, yeah, it's been a while since I did any hardcore Pokemon stuff - so what's the commonly accepted way of getting everybody to level 100 now? Just bashing your head against the E4 like usual? I know EVs and the like can be trained up a lot more easily these days, so I can get those down.

I wrote a post further up explaining getting two 5-star Rare Kitchens in Festival Plaza as probably the fastest way to power level something to level 100. Otherwise strap on a Lucky Egg and just bash your head at the E4 yeah. Stick them on Isle Evelup when you're not in the middle of doing that and put beans in there to make it go faster. I constantly have things on Isle Evelup because I'm kinda casual about it and after a few weeks it just gets there.

Willsun posted:

Anyway, if you have two 5 star Rare Kitchens set up, the fastest way to power level is to get the mon you want at level 66 exactly. Buy and feed a Rare Dinner from both tents. You get only one of each item every day. Now your mon's level should qualify you to eat Rare Buffet because you should be at level 80. Buy both Rare Buffet from your tents and you should be at level 98. That's the most efficient way to use the Rare Kitchens.

Oh, right, Festival Plaza. I just kinda dismissed that out of hand since it's kinda janky and not very...good? Plus it seems to be dependent on events that are being discontinued. Maybe in USUM they'll have something more interesting. E4 it is!
