Defeated Totem Mimikyu, and... That was the easiest Trial thus far to be honest.
It went like this:
>I break its disguise after it uses a non damaging move
>It nearly kills me but I survive
>"Coo used Sinister Arrow Raid!"
>"Totem Mimikyu fainted"
Its ally Haunter put Coo to sleep but he got over that using the power of friendship (Literally) and OHKO'd it with Spirit Shackle.
Rowlet master race b0iz and girlz.

I killed Mimikyu easily but haunter kept putting my pokemon to sleep and friendship didn't wake them up

So, for me it wasn't hard but annoying

So
Turns out you can actually fight evedy Trial Captain after you clear their trial and defeat the respective island's Kahuna
Though Kiawe is Sun exclusive and Mallow is Moon exclusive

I did all the ones up until Akala Island in Moon and after the battle Mallow mentions that they have to stop being Captains after 20
Kind of a little but neat detail to put as it explains why there are so many ex-captains and why all of the current ones are so young
 

Pazzo.

Just had a very weird experience with a kid, a library, and a very right-brain moment.

Anyone ever go somewhere to relax and end up confused by something?

Looks like Paul W. S Anderson is directing the Monster Hunter film.

Lower your expectations


...

*sigh*

He must have some serious dirt on Capcom.

That was the most cringy description for a plot I've read on a while.

Abandon ship.

User was warned for this post
Stop saying "companies", because not all companies think like this. Nintendo is one of the very few game companies who still do, actually.
While I agreed with your posts on that page generally, and think there is no argument justifying Nintendo (aside from their arbitrary legal rights), a better way to say these sorts of things so that people don't get on each-other's backs, and to enhance our own arguments, would be to say "Not all companies think like this," instead of using language which implies force. I understand you're not using force, but some don't, and view it as an emotional assault.

Salazzle's design is weirdly sexy... I'm not sure I like it.
The Pokedex entries too tho

IS there any word yet on what Pokemon/moves are going to be metagame murder?

Gale Force got nerfed hard along with Prankster and Priority moves getting a lot of counters, that much I know.

Just a reminder for people...

Don't forget about spoiler tags...I see folks describing Trials and Totem pokemon out in the open without discretion...There are some folks who would rather wait to play the game first before knowing about this information...

Rain Dance doesn't have "Dance" in its japanese name(it's also why it can't be copied by Dancer outside of other reasons)
Why would Vikavolt learn Sticky Web? It's not a spider, what's really stupid is it not learning the two switch moves which are both STAB for it
And Oricorio not getting any primary STAB outside of Revelation Dance and not getting Quiver Dance or any actually useful Dance move like Petal Dance or Fiery Dance
Like, yeah, that Atk stat is really gonna benefit from Swords Dance
It has Volt Switch. Sucks that it can't learn Rain Dance regardless, Hurricane would have been helped.

Also, anyone know where to find Pikachu?

Alolan Geodude. I replaced Charjabug with it cause I can't wait until the final island for Vikavolt.

You aren't THAT far from Vikavolt if you already are in the area with Geodude

Someone name all the moves you think are good for a Decidueye to have. Mine has 2 moves that max at 5 and 10 pp and I dont want that
Can you get Vikavolt the moment you land on Poni Island or is it a certain area?
Vikavolt isnt in the wild. you need to get it evolved

My friends and I were talking potential teams in SuMo over some dinner. One of them brought up a unique pair that I'm working on getting now too because I love the potential in it: Torkoal and Minior.

Torkoal got an awesome ability in Drought this gen, which means it can set up Sun for its team. It can also Spin hazards away and tough out more damage then Ninetales. There's not much to say here- Torkoal is just a sun setter. But Minior is where it gets interesting.

Minior is probably one of the best Pokémon of the generation. The combination of Shields Down and Shell Smash makes Minior transform into a quick and powerful nuke. Holding a White Herb to remove the lowered defenses from Shell Smash allows us to have some form of bulk, despite being low, after Shields Down, but the real trick here is getting Acrobatics to work, which also happens to be a STAB, meaning once you use Shell Smash and activate Shields down, this attack will hit blisteringly hard. Next to that is Power Gem, which is boosted by Shell Smash plus is a dependable STAB that will wreck anyone weak to Rock. But now we get to the tide turner: Solarbeam. Why Solarbeam? Well, one of Minior's biggest checks happens to be Quagsire- who with Unaware doesn't care about Shell Smash. Sun also weakens Water-Type attacks so Minior won't die as quickly. Finally, Solarbeam has great coverage that Rock/Flying does not have, including Water, Ground and Rock. Solarbeam is a heavy hitting attack that after Shell Smash will deal massive damage.

Torkoal and Minior also have a decent Core. Torkoal can switch out to Minior to block Ground attacks, and Minior can switch out to resist Ice. Torkoal's ability to Spin makes it even more invaluable as Minior does have a weakness in Rock- meaning Stealth Rocks will deal more damage to it.

In the end, I love the potential of these two, and am working on obtaining them. I'm also gonna look up who works well with this Sun team later once I do so. If this team is fully built, I may open up to challenges. Anyways, time to go catch some Pokémon.

Gale Force got nerfed hard along with Prankster and Priority moves getting a lot of counters, that much I know.
Oranguru will be used incredibly often in Doubles/VGC. Instruct, man.

Dhelmise is slated to be a really good Pokémon over all. Rapid Spinner/Spin Blocker/Massive attack/three STABs/signature move that traps/Good coverage/Great defense/great special defense when equipped with an Assault Vest. Its speed sucks, yeah, but it has everything else so you don't need it.

Talonflame is still pretty useful despite the nerf according to most, but it might not be OU anymore. Same with Gengar.

Tapus will be all over VGC and the metagame at large.

So will Ultra Beasts. Pheromosa and Xurkitree especially. They'll be banned to Ubers on Smogon no doubt, but they're VGC legal.

Drizzle will make Pelipper of all things used more often.

Minior is a fantastic Shell Smash sweeper.

I've also heard good things about Mudsdale.



That's the short list, basically. Things to keep an eye out for.

If Pokemon STARRRRSSSS... is a thing, I wonder fi ti'll be like Coloseum and XD and be a venue for Pokemon not in the main games. There is a loooooooong list of Pokemon not in the game.

Spoilers obvs

I mean, I don't think X & Y, even accounting for the extra 80 ish mons, had this many missing Pokemon.

I'm not completely sure. Mine leveled up in the battle with the kahuna and evolved. I think it's specifically in the canyon, but IDK
