Cheers, girls:
In just yesterday evening, I:
• Got a French Ditto (GTS. Apparently the best bet for an easy foreign trade is to go in looking for players looking for Ditto. Or Porygon2/Z lmao)
• Paired that Ditto with an already prepared calm + everstone Morelull
• Got a calm
shiny Morelull in only 84 eggs! My Bounsweet was 252 eggs, so this was surprisingly quick
Needless to say I'm super happy since Shiinotic is probably my favorite gen 7 Pokemon, and now I have one that I can prepare for being useable in a competitive battle! (Since it's my first time going for competitive usability, I went with the "I'll make it 'have' good IVs via bottle caps and call it a day.)
Next stop: Shiny morelull with Leech Seed, and hopefully rain dish / effect spore!
All of its abilities are kind of bad tbh, but effect spore or rain dish would've been my go to.
