Wow, Kadabra doesn't learn Confusion when it evolves anymore? What kind of sick twist is this???

FOR ABRA USERS!!!!

A ton of Pokémon have evolution moves, they will ALWAYS learn a certain move when they evolve. If your Pokémon evolves during a level it would naturally learn something else, that move(Like Kadabras Confusion) is completely replaced.

I think it's a glitch.

I'm not sure however if you choose not to learn Kinesis with Kadabra, if Condusion would be available at 16 instead. Someone should test it out.

 

[PadWarrior]

Go in the motel and it will respawn. To catch it you need to run at it with Tauros.

Thanks!!

 

[Kinsei]

So apparently there was a hidden cave on Melemele that I missed. I guess it's time for me to make another detour from the main story.

 

[Crayolan]

How do you catch wimpod on route 8? It ran away and isn't coming back.

Oh wow, that thing that ran into the hole was Wimpod? I wish I kept trying to get it, Galisopod is badass.

Yeah fast little bugger. Only reason I knew it was him was by talking to the boy.

Use your tauros

Yeah Kinsei posted that above. He will be mine lol.

Just caught Cyndaquil using the island scan.

Ultra Beast which attacks Melemele Island= http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net...ha-kitt.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20111123210301

Was the first thing which came to mind.

I'm still very early in the game,

route 1

, but does anything ever show up on the bottom DS screen or does it always stay blank until you hit X?

Under normal circumstances you don't get a choice since Abra only has 1 move.

So they've basically allowed the QR code thing now? I remember people hacking in Pokemon but GF actually implemented it in a way that's being exploited?

The idea of that feature is to add Pokemon as seen and maybe even do it locally (I'm sure one of the promo videos showed that).

But yeah it has been exploited for CFW users*. It's a bit of effort to make the patch though (you first need to decrypt and dump the rom ,then extract a file, then patch that file).
*- https://github.com/SciresM/SMPatcher . Personally I'm interested in the no outlines part of that. I know in citra that improves performance but I'm curious if it helps on actual hardware.

I know people don't like exploits but thankfully at the end of the day with millions of players you might have up to thousands doing this so it is small percentage.

As someone who likes to take their time with the game and catch every Pokemon in each area, the calling for help thing is game-ruining for me right now. WTF were they thinking with this?!

Should've just saved it for the totem fights. It's also ridiculous how it doesn't use a turn, and how they immediately call for help again right after you kill one.

I've heard if a Pokemon is under a status condition it can't call for help. Sleep should definitely work (plus sleeping Pokmeon are easier to catch).

This plus extremely high encounter rate is really starting to wear on me, and I've only put in like 4-5 hours.

Also - why does my Meowth shake when I send it into battle? And can anyone tell me where exactly is Ruffrock? I'm at ten carat hill or whatever but with at least 20 encounters thru the whole place I haven't seen one yet.

I remember in some older Pokemon games running through grass or using a bike rather than walking would trigger more encounters. Also you can always use repels.

The shaking is to do with affection gained from using refresh. As for Ruffrock the problem it has (and many of the new Pokemon also have) is a really low encounter rate.

Is grubbin meant to be impossible to find? Because christ.

 

[Elaugaufein]

Is grubbin meant to be impossible to find? Because christ.

10% , also make sure you're not using Pichu as lead (Static greatly increases the odds of encountering electric types ie more Pichu).

 

[Paradise Brunch]

Are you still at route 1? You could find them later on at route 4 with slightly higher chance.

Nvm also 10% I just get incredibly lucky then

huh, the game progresses even when you lose to Lusamine.

Hmmm alright, I might as well search on route 4 (just finished first island) just for the higher level.

Also at how much affection does pichu evolve?

 

[everyday math]

Oh Machamp! 😚

 

[Crayolan]

Pichu evolves via happiness, not affection, 2 different things.

 

[Elaugaufein]

Its happiness (the gen 2 mechanic) not affection (from gen vi). You need 250+ happiness.

How do you check for friendship in moon?

 

[Muzicfreq]

What are shiny pokemon and should I bother?

 

[Crayolan]

How do you check for friendship in moon?

Not sure if it's changed in moon, but traditionally there's some NPC which gives a vague happiness rating and if you have the highest one you can evolve a happiness evo pokemon.

I wouldn't worry about keeping tracking, just keep it in your party and put a soothe bell on it if you have one, it'll happen eventually.

What are shiny pokemon and should I bother?

Extremely rare alternate color variations of pokemon.

You shouldn't bother.

 

[Elaugaufein]

What are shiny pokemon and should I bother?

When you encounter a Pokemon there's a very small chance it's 'shiny'(ie a palette swap). I don't much care personally but some people love them.

 

[Forkball]

Why does it seem no one uses the Surfing Pikachu shirt? I have done a bunch of Wonder Trades and no one ever has one one, usually they just have the stock outfit.

Where is this magical shirt? I don't think I've come across it.

 

[Drkirby]

Where is this magical shirt? I don't think I've come across it.

The Apparel Shop in the Hau'oli sells it, as the "Surfing Tee"

 

[Crosseyes]

Finally got my Wimpod to level 30.

Now his reign of terror will truly begin as the new Shogunate Golisopod.

 

[Seil]

Its happiness (the gen 2 mechanic) not affection (from gen vi). You need 250+ happiness.

Friendship/Happiness evolutions are triggered at 220+.

Are there other clothing shops or are more unlocked later in the game because the selection sucks

 

[spiritfox]

Yes.

 

[Crayolan]

There's a clothing shop like every other town.

 

[HiroTSK5]

Close to one hundred is the answer.

 

[Seil]

There are two shops on Melemele, the normal one and one in the mall which opens after defeating Hala.

There are two shops on Akala, one in Heahea and one in Konikoni. (you can get some hair accessories in Olivia's home/shop too for female characters)

There are two shops on Ula'ula, the main shop in Malie and one that changes daily in the community center next to the library.

Close to one hundred is the answer.

It's a 10% chance in rippling water. Just fish, if you don't get one, walk back through the door and try again. Not that hard lol x.x

So has anyone managed to test out Burn Up? I want to know if the pokemon becomes a normal type after using the skill, or if it just becomes some typeless pokemon.

Saw the speculation of Arcanine (who can get this as an egg move) using Burn Up > Gain Stab for Extreme Speed, and I'm wondering if this is possible now that the game is out.

 

[MicH]

Does anyone know if you can chain the Pokemon from island scan? I know they disappear after you find one

 

[Kinsei]

That was a nice detour. I picked up the Roar TM, a never melt ice, and some items to sell which allowed me to buy two of the weather TMs.

It was tested by a lot of people, they go typeless unfortunately.

Aw, there goes the Burn Up Arcanine idea. Maybe I should just go with Litten for my starter.

 

[MrCookiepants]

I got a Dhelmise on my first fish on Poni Island. There's a spot on one of the house boat things. Not sure if there's a high encounter chance there or I just got lucky.

 

[Producer]

woo caught Cyndaquil. Should go well with the owl pokemon. I dont know why i chose him lol

 

[KZXcellent]

Salandit hunting is gonna be the end of me.

 

[panthapanda]

Aww my battery is about to die. I just unlocked SOS too. Guess I'll have to wait until I get home.

 

[Dorsal Axe]

Yeah. There's four shops,

Spoiler

plus another one in Hau'oli, the flea market, Olivia's shop (female only), plus an unlockable Skull Tank.

Also, Red, Yellow, Orange and Pink clothing is exclusive to Sun. Green, Blue, Navy Blue and Purple is exclusive to Moon. You have to dye clothes in the Festival Plaza if you want the other colours.

 

[Valkerionseven]

I'm finding myself giving up looking for specific pokemon way to much and im still not on the first kahuna fight. The appearance rate/maybe amount of pokemon in each patch may be too much for me.

Like I went looking for Growlith and the new crab fighting type and ran into spearow so much I just moved on. Among a good bit more it seems. Which is weird since the encounter rate seems pretty high.

-shrug- guess i'll GTS for them.

The crab doesn't appear in the grass. When you gather berries there's a chance one will pop out and attack you.
