Thomas★Zero Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Well I got 4 of my main team planned for story where other 2 are likely going to be switched around. Decidueye Dusk Lycanroc A-Raichu Charizard (island scan for Charmander tomorrow on MeleMele) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zextra Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Since I went through the trouble of keeping myself spoiler-free since US/UM's reveal, I decided on doing my first blind playthrough with no team planning in advance since D/P/Pt, with the condition that I'm not to use any Pokemon that I used during my initial Moon run, which were Primarina, Vikavolt, Lycanroc, Tsareena, Ninetails-A, and Kommo-o. I'm starting with Rowlet this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabber2033 Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 P.S. PokeBank isn't available yet, so...you'll have to do the GTS method. (Screw you GF) Or just Quick Link if you have 2 3DSes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 I'm up to Paniola Ranch right now, and I am LOVING all these little mini-quests being added. Be sure to check the 3F of the Tide Song Hotel for items, a mini-quest, and an early cameo from the man with the blue cowlick. Also, I'm doing pretty well with Mantine Surf, as I'm already king of Mele Mele and Akala, and am juicing my team up with stat boosters that are only 2 BP apiece. As for my team, I currently have: Lv 22 Dartrix (Siegfried)Lv 19 Cutiefly (Star (Butterfly))Lv 20 Slowpoke (Xavier)Lv 13 Mareep (Sylvanas)Lv 18 filler Trumbeak Also, it is great that you can easily acquire BP (albeit slowly, since I believe it's 1 BP per 3000 points you get). Also good that every 2 BP is essentially a Nugget by selling the stat boosting items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 So, did not realize I could get Grimer at the Pokemon School. It is a little unusual for me to have this much of my team this early. Decided to go with Petrol as its name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Oh yeah. You can also get them in Hau'oli City too, but good luck with the city since they're a 5% chance in USUM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serrebii is telling me 10%, but I'd believe 5. I've only seen one so far and after doing a couple battles I remembered I should check its ability. It was bad. Back to the catching grind.

Blake Posted November 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Serbia is telling me 10%, but I'd believe 5. I've only seen one so far and after doing a couple battles I remembered I should check its ability. It was bad. Back to the catching grind.Was the ability gluttony? Because that's the really good one now. The buff to pinch berries means that Muk-A is one of the tankiest pokemon in the game, because hitting it below 50 restores 50HP. I assume you mean it had Poison Touch, but just wanted to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In game gluttony doesn't seem good. Honestly neither ability is great, but I figure you'd get more milage out of Poison Touch. Could be wrong though.

Could be wrong though.After using it in a locke and the ease of the berry farm, gluttony is absolutely amazing. Maybe it's less so if you're not lockeing, because health doesn't matter, but it's a really good tank with gluttony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I was able to pick up a Black Sludge to still make it tanky. Weird. According to Serebii both % are correct. My guess is it depends on what area you're in.

The Warden Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Yeah that makes sense. And oh, my, god. They just made a reference to botox in this game, and that its user is about to be married for the 6th time. I love all these new additions.

Flame Dragon Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 I'm still trying to catch Grimers. I ran from five(?) because I'm looking for a male and the last two males I've caught have the literal worse possible nature with -ATK natures. I did however find PokeRus, so yea. My luck is weird. Finally got it. Meh nature but it isn't actively bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dr Professor Spaz Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Well, I just finished Kiawe's trial, and let me say this... I. f***ing. HATE. TOTEM. MAROWAK. The only spoiler I'll give for you people who haven't gotten to it yet. It's Totem Aura boosts Speed, and it gets a pseudo +2 Attack thanks to its Thick Club.

JessicaMuddy Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Well, I just finished Kiawe's trial, and let me say this... I. f***ing. HATE. TOTEM. MAROWAK. The only spoiler I'll give for you people who haven't gotten to it yet. It's Totem Aura boosts Speed, and it gets a pseudo +2 Attack thanks to its Thick Club.Seems like picking Popplio really paid off. I chose Litten in Sun, but Popplio in UM for something different. Two Bubblebeams and AloMarowak was down. My current team is as follows:Primarina (Chumdrum) LV 35Lopunny (One-A-Penny) LV 35Ampharos (1 2 Oatmeal) LV 34Haunter (Forgot to Nickname it) LV 34Noibat (Tope Suicida) LV 32 I'm probably going to get rid of Noibat at some point, since I want to pick up a better Dragon Pokemon. I just got onto Ula' Ula Island, any recommendations? PS: Tope Suicida means Suicide Dive in Spanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 They seriously gave Totem A-Marowak a Thick Club? That's incredibly cruel. Still, if he's who I'm facing in US then it's no worry, as he won't be able to do much to the Larvitar I'm going to catch. Thank god for being able to access Diglett's Cave after Lana's trial.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Even if he did have a Thick Club, all I had to do was just use Z-Water Pledge off Brionne and Marowak = dead. I think I did the same thing against Salazzle in S/M, albeit lower leveled and all. (tl;dr, use starter to clean trial out.) Granted, had to take a small hit from Brick Break, but that was nothing. ====Now I just have to deal with that Lurantis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Just saying, but giving Totem A-Marowak a Thick Club isn't nearly as dickish as letting him summon underlevelled Salazzles to help him. I mean at least make them Salandits; they're funking level 20 for christ's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean at least make them Salandits; they're funking level 20 for christ's sake.Yeah that is the worst, especially since they have moves like Flame Burst and Venoshock.

The Warden Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 And Poison Gas, don't forget about Poison Gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 I got lucky that I just one-shotted the Marowak due to having Water starter, though once I do Ultra Moon with Litten, I can't expect things to go as smoothly and yeah, might have same issues. Then again, the Lurantis totem was annoying like it was from S/M; also that Comfey can go burn in hell (well, it and Kecleon for spamming Sunny Day and the former for Defense boosting and HP healing). Though, it was my problem for not bringing a Fire 'mon initially with STAB or could strike on the special end. =====At least the Ditto event afterwards yields you a lot of money and saves you time trying to get natures you want for breeding. Uh, how many of you finished Mallow's trial by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabber2033 Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 So I OHKOed Totem Araquanid with Flying Z-Move. Kinda worried about the Fire Trial at the moment since I don't have a decent Water Type right now. Not sure which to get. Team as it currently stands: Dartrix, Lv 27Pikachu Lv25Growlithe Lv25Sylveon Lv25A. Grimer Lv25Rockruff Lv25 4 of them are weak to Ground, though probably will box Rockruff for a Water-Type since I wanna evolve it at the right time.

Thomas★Zero Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 I so far beat the Electric Trial and my Team is as follows Crabrawler lv 35 Pikachu lv 35 Dusk Lycanrock lv 36 Deciueye lv 36 Charizard lv 36 and as Sakura said the ditto event is super helpful plus allows you to breed your synchro Abras for legendary hunting.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Yeah, though you have to wait until postgame to get an Everstone (unless you trade over / get lucky with Pickup or something), so...that much sucks. At present, I suppose the consistent members of team right are Dusk LycanrocBrionneEspeon (yeah, this comes from that Eevee egg; trying to breed ones with Timid nature, but see above note about Everstone)Pikachu (with cap) Will probably adjust it later, but yeah. (I do have a Kangaskhan now, but actually need to train it and sheet). Then again, I did have to trade over a level 31 Growlithe from my Sun cartridge, so I kinda cheated on the Grass trial (but I didn't have much choice).
