Question, does Wishi-Washy have a 1000% success rate when calling for help? Because I've killed 8 of the damn things so far. I just wanna catch one.

Besides Paralysis, moves like Hold Back and False Swipe(I don't remember if it's a TM or something naturally learns it this gen among the base catchable Pokemon) also help.

If you can breed, I got one via Wonder Trade and can temporarily lend you it.

No they don't. The lower the HP, the likelier they'll cry for help

I read "Aiaiai" not from Butterfly but instead from the start of th Pillar Men theme.
AWAKEN MY GUARDIANS

Pillar Men don't have stands Buu~

Are the Tapus shiny locked? would be hilarious and incredibly convenient to get a shiny Modest lelee
*catches Lele* ADAMANT? NYEEEEEAARGH

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

I'm aware. But being at 1 HP and paralyzed does mean they alone are easier to catch. Keep in mind I haven't dealt with this yet, so...

But fair point. My inexperience is showing. I'm using to this method on X/Y/OR/AS.

Anyway, that's why I suggested a temp trade. >.>

I just lucked out WAAAAAAAAAAY harder than I have the right to. I accidentally talked to Gladion without saving so I have to settle with the Nina I got. It was Jolly, probably it's best nature

Any nature is good for it when it has 95 in everything so its role can be basically anything
Except Spe boosting ones if you're going for Eviolite Null(which I probably will do with my Adamant one)
Also

Spoiler

The deleted files in Secret Lab A mention that there were three Type: Nulls but you only get to see two ingame: the one Gladion has and the one you get
Wonder what happened to the other...

The way that S.O.S. works is basically a Pokemon can call for an ally (doesn't always succeed).
This is more likely the lower in hp they are, but can call at full hp if you're "too high in level."
This can and will happen multiple times in a fight.
And as its been since Gen 4, your character can't handle the idea of how to aim if there's multiple wild pokemon out at once.

Speaking of Pokémon spoilers, at which moment do you think late-game elements, such as not-seen-in-trailers Pokémon, could be tolerated to the large audience after release ?

I've got a Cutiefly with Stun Spore and a bunch of qucik balls so I'll give that a shot.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Does anyone have any Synchronize mons I can borrow? Need Timid, Modest and Adamant for now

At the very least sometime after the holidays...A large portion of people won't be able to play it till after Christmas...

I'd say maybe sometime around February or March since most people who would play it already have...though personally I'd still wait a month or two...

What's Stun Spore's accuracy? I forget.

I know that Thunder Wave is now 90.

I think I want to do a Ghost Monotype in the future for Sun and Moon...
There's so many cool new ghost types introduced in this Gen and even one of the starters and boxart legends are eligible! Probably want to try out Palossand and Dhelmise in that run...
Some decent older ghost types are also available too, early on as well...One cool thing about Sun and Moon's removal of HM's is that Monotypes and Solo runs will be easier to do since you won't have to rely on HM users to progress through the game...so you can stick with your eligible mons more consistently...

Anyways...enough of the future...

Moon Update:
Dartrix-Legolas
Grimer-Hexxus
Rockruff-Hati

Finding a Rockruff this time around turned out a lot easier than it was in my last playthrough...but it's all luck based whether or not you encounter it or not, either way used Midday form in Sun and now going to rock out with midnight form...Lycanroc was one of my more clutch pokemon in Sun and from what I hear midnight form hits harder than midday, just with less speed...Not having Accelerock's gonna suck though since that came in handy for finishing off pokemon...I still think it's a missed opportunity to not have a Rock/Ghost werewolf but what can you do?

Now I'm off to the next island...Trying to consider who I'll try out, probably want to grab a Fomantis as the lack of grass types in my last playthrough made some of the battles more difficult to my liking, at the very least I'll keep it for Olivia's Grand-trial, but I do want to give Lurantis some fair usage...While I'm in the Lush Jungle I'll probably grab an Oranguru as well...King julien had his fun in Sun now's King Louie's turn!
Definitely gonna scoop up a Cubone though, so excited to try out Alolan Marowak!! Easily my second favourite Alola form behind Ninetales...

You can find Fomantis just outside of Brooklet Hill, too
It's where I got mine.

Also Night Lycanrock should've been more /Dark or /Fighting imo

Yeah wherever I find Fomantis I'll likely catch it...I just couldn't remember where else it was located outside of Lush Jungle...

The reason why I suggested ghost typing for Lycanroc midnight is because of the Kaupe spirit of Hawaiian folklore...Werewolves are generally cursed supernatural beings anyways both in folklore and popular media...
Though it think it's likely Game Freak based both Lycanroc forms off of the wolves Skoll and Hati of Norse Mythology...hence my nicknames for them respectively...

There's also speculation going around of a third Lycanroc form since Skoll and Hati are the sons of the monstrous wolf Fenrir and that the third form will be based off of him...If Pokemon Stars is true and it introduces more new Pokemon (I personally don't think it will if true) that's a possibility...

 

[Deleted member]

Apparently, Isle Evelup gives you 2 EVs per play session at Lv2
Meaning I need more than two days to max a single stat
At least it doesn't require actual playing so I can do other stuff and Pokebeans speed up the process

What do you mean by that? As in, considering them spoilers?
Because the site updated with all the new Pokemon

Zygarde's based off of Norse mythology and has a dog form, there's your Fenrir

If we can have two phoenix's

We can have two Fenrirs...especially if one's not legendary...

Zygarde's influences spans a lot further than just the Children of Loki however...

I'm breeding abras for those natures right now.
though its odd. I'm getting mostly the same natures,with some neutrals/differences on rare occasions. would I be better off just catching the guy for those?

[Arcanir]

Yveltal and Xerneas really have nothing to do with Norse Mythology as nothing in their characters or lore matches the creatures fans like to pair them up with. Their lore (as sparse and underdeveloped as it is) also lacks many of the elements of the original mythology to truly tie them together such as the squirrel, which are elements that should be present if GF was truly trying to draw from the mythology for those two legendaries. Zygarde is a bit more debateable, but the Cells and Cores thematic of the legendary seems to have a different direction from the mythology behind Loki's children.

It's just another fan theory, one that is popular, but not one that is certainly not confirmed. There are still a number of holes to it, and it shouldn't be touted as the for certain base concept for the trio.

AFTER A THOUSAND YEARS I'M BACK

TIME TO CONQUER EARTH

Funny timing; I was just watching all the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 3 Megazord finishers.

Man, the Ninja Megazord's finisher was nightmare fuel by design. Awesome finisher, sure, but they didn't think kids wouldn't find two animals roaring with their full animal faces actually showing them as scary as possible just a tad bit frightening? I think they slightly figured it out, since after the first time, they actually shortened the attack scenes. The wolf zord was less scary of the two, at least.

I couldn't find any regular pictures, so here's all of them in their punching glory. The first fight alone covers the issue well. I wonder if MMPR the movie came out after Season 3, which would easily explain why they just used a sword instead. Albeit, the movie version of the zords didn't look that great, but eh.

 

[praline]

I just realized my Pokemon game doesn't have a mew type character.

Hmm hmm hmm... it'll be a Normal/Fairy type and be called Revelvet! It'll kinda look like a mauve bunny with spiky ears that look kinda like wings.

There dex actually done!


Also hello guys.

I'd argue that their appearance is definitely a Yggdrasil reference, with Yveltal being the eagle that perches atop the tree, Xerneas representing the four stags that live on the land, and Zygarde being Nidhogg beneath the surface. It seems REALLY specific that they chose a bird, a stag, and a snake, after all, especially with Zygarde's other forms referencing Hel and Fenrir.


Lore wise though, they're closer to the Hindu Trimurti since they represent Creation, Destruction, and Preservation, respectively. But appearance wise they're definitely Norse in inspiration.
