Also Mimikyu has nice usable stats. I was gonna put him in my team regardless but woo.

It's worth noting that you don't need to use the QR codes from the game. Any QR code will produce a random pokedex entry.

I think not all QR codes work? I tried using Etrian Odyssey's Guild Card QRs and they gave me nothing. Might have to do with their size. Most of the ones I got from googling 'QR code' works though :v:

I beat the game :toot:



I didn't really mean it but somehow my team turned out to be full of Pokemons that are hard/annoying to catch. :v: Incineroar is a pain train and has been really great throughout the game but I have to give the MVP award to Mimikyu, who's swept so many battles with Swords Dance I've lost count. Golisopod's ridiculously tanky and his ability's worked pretty well with Mimikyu since it gives him an easy switch-in. I was pretty happy with Raichu and Ninetales too since Nuzzle were Aurora Veil are quite useful at some points. (Nuzzle is especially good for catching Pokemons because SOS is a pain when you're just trying to fill up your Dex.) Dhelmise was kind of a weak link for me, but I kept it since I really like its concept and design, and at least it got to shine versus one of the Elite Fours.

The last trainer battle was pretty tense for me since three of my dudes are weak to Stealth Rock and their health got low pretty fast. The clutch moment in the battle was Raichu holding on with 1 HP against Ninetales' Ice Shard, so he could Nuzzle her and allow Incineroar to outspeed her with Flare Blitz. If not for that, who knows, I might've lost that fight. (I was left with a low-HP Paralyzed Mimikyu and a Golisopod who's gonna switch in to a Stealth Rock, so the odds weren't that great.) The AI teams and tactics are noticeably improved this time around and I'm definitely liking it.

Now let's see if post-game is as painful as I've heard!

It's now level 60 and still not evolving. Haha this is such a funny video game.

Riolu only evolves in daytime, maybe that's why?

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

So I wanna try making a Mimikyu team and this is what I've got so far:


Mimikyu @ Life Orb
Disguise / Jolly
4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
- Swords Dance
- Play Rough
- Shadow Claw
- Shadow Sneak

Golisopod @ Choice Band
Emergency Exit / Adamant
252 HP/252 Atk/4 Def
- First Impression
- Leech Life
- Aqua Jet
- Liquidation

Tapu Fini @ Leftovers
Misty Surge / Bold
252 HP/252 Def/4 SpA
- Taunt
- Surf
- Moonblast
- Defog

Metagross @ Metagrossite
Clear Body / Adamant
4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
- Meteor Mash
- Bullet Punch
- Zen Headbutt
- Earthquake

Mamoswine @ Focus Sash
Thick Fat / Adamant
4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
- Knock Off

Xurkitree @ Electrium Z
Beast Boost / Timid
4 HP/252 SpA/252 Spd
- Electric Terrain
- Thunderbolt
- Energy Ball
- Tail Glow

The original idea was to use Golisopod's ability to allow Mimikyu to switch in, set up, and sweep. Tapu Fini is thereto block statuses, Metagross is a beatstick, Mamoswine is my Stealth Rock setter. Xurkitree I'm not sure about, kinda want to replace it with Incineroar as a slow U-turner for Mimikyu but I feel like I need a backup sweeper.

I haven't really played competitive much so some help would be appreciated :)

Hello, thread. I have a problem.



As you can see, I have a PC Box simply overflowing with Rowlets. Frankly, none are particularly good, and only a handful are female, but they are all carrying Destiny Knots.

If you'd like one of these Rowlets for yourself, add me at 2337-8002-5560 and then send me a PM with your FC and whether you would prefer a female or male Rowlet. If you don't care, just your FC is sufficient. It'll be first come, first serve, and once I'm out of Rowlets, that's it. I'll update this post once I'm out of owls to hand out.

I don't have PM, but I'd like one, if you don't mind? My FC is 1306-7818-0434, 3ds/ingame name Jerome. What's your 3ds name I can register you with?

My Mimikyu team's shaping up nicely. Mimikyu's not really the star of the team anymore I guess but I think he's a great tempo swing tool. Also made bad plays here and there but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

And I love Tapu Fini so, so much.

Thunder Wave is a good replacement for Volt Tackle if you want to catch stuff throughout the main game, since it prevents SOS calls. Nuzzle is probably better but you seem to have forgotten that move already.
