Pokémon Sun & Moon |OT| Ultra Beasts and where to find them
- Thread starter Galava

SOS chaining. It's a pain.
You're getting a Corsola from the special bubbling spot right? A Corsola from there has a 20% chance of calling one in for help instead of a 1% chance.

there's one on route 8 down by the water, you can chase it and corner it into a battle
yeah, it's a pain even trying to get corsola lol

Are you playing on a different system? If you change the time (which playing on another system would do) it tends to lock you out of daily things for at least a day.
That level up table is a troll. Shadow Bone should be a learns on evolution move (you know like stupid Kinesis on Kadabra) rather than being one level before you can actually evolve.
From what I've seen of Totem fights it seems like first helper is not bad but can be annoying (that wishiwashi has helping hand for example) and the second one is that watch out moment (in this case Alomomola). Maybe it is discourage using them as a grinding spot or something.
Likewise the Jungle Trial on second island
has the annoying bird with supersonic but knocking that out could give you a castform bringing the sun
The Corsola is the hard part of finding Mareanie. Just save in front of the bubbles and soft reset if you don't get one.

you can just leave the sea area and go back to the outskirts and the go back to the sea and the bubbles will reset
e: finally found a mareanie

Funny enough, it only used that move once against me.
On another note, double battles DESTROY the frame rate on OG 3DS. It's insane
Spinda is great though.

Alright finally got my entire team to full affection.
The game was clearly not designed for use without the exp share lol. I've battled every trainer possible so far and a good deal of wild Pokemon in between and this Hau fucker has his whole team five levels ahead of mine and the gap just keeps widening
But judging from the comments in this thread, using the exp share just leaves you ridiculously overleveled. I'm not really sure what GameFreak was going for here

How is that even possible? I've battled every trainer so far, including the ones on previous islands once surf opens up. How far are you?

Team update before
I was tempted to put Jangmo-o on, but this team has put in work for me throughout the entire game. They deserve to be there tell the end.

4.5 hours trying to get a stupid shiny Zubat. Had to plug in my 3ds because the low battery light started flashing. It still takes this long? Really? I've lost count of how many of these things I've taken out now. All my Pokémon have gone up like five levels in this battle alone.
I'm almost out of PP on all my guys and have expended my entire supply of potions, berries, and ethers.

I really want to use that Gosiopod thing. Maybe I will in Sun. Although his ability seems like it would be horribly annoying.
I think bug, electric and ghosts got it best this generation it seems. Not crazy about most grass mons because they're all pink as hell, luckily Rowlett line rules.
Just beat Lusamine 2. I had no poison or steel moves so I spent 5 attempts dying to her fucking Clefable which I just could not kill. I only managed to beat her because my boosted Minior got a crit Stone Edge. Without the crit I was planning on using a boosted self destruct but I don't even know if it'd be enough, that thing is INSANELY tanky.
After that, I self destructed on her Milotic which could've been an issue for my team and the rest of her team wasn't that bad. Her Mismagius and Bewear kept spamming Pain Split for some reason though, making the end a bit anticlimactic.
Still, a pretty tough fight by evil team leader standards what with 5 totem-boosted mons. I'd say she's 3rd toughest after Ghetsis in BW and Ghetsis in BW2. Would've liked to see her have a Ultra Beast as a 6th pokemon though. And I was hoping Ultra Space would be much more expansive like the Distortion World in Platinum. Maybe in Star.
Also, caught Lunala in my first quick ball lol.

im pretty sure my team is overleveled tbh
most of my pokemon are 27 - 28 and i'm about to fight olivia
also gamefreak made it really hard to choose b/w water types in this game...not sure if i want to use wishiwashi, wimpod, or mareanie lol

The correct answer for what water type you should use is Araquanid.
Of the three you listed I would go with Mareanie.

Sometimes it is. But it can be helpful in others. At least you can choose what Pokémon you want to replace with. The thing is a beast other wise. Plus it looks badass.
A little bit overlevelled but probably fine for the next island.

Araquanid is great. It's ability is so amazing. No burns, halves fire damage and doubles water damage BEFORE STAB. yes please!

Steve, the dog with no powers that we let hang out with us all for some reason
How do you get a kitchen on the Festival Plaza? Is it obtainable through ranks or do I need to do some mission?
Also, in order to get Sylveon, do you pretty much have to max its affection like in X/Y, correct?

My Island Scan pokemon is supposed to be on Route 6 but it's not showing up. Weird.
Just two stars. It's a cinch (also keep Baby-Doll Eyes to evolve).

I was going to use Golisopod but then I found out about his ability. Ended up using Araquanid instead.
The presentation is top-notch, that I can't argue. And when the game lets me play I do have a lot of fun, because at its core it's a really good game, but it tries to stop me all the time. In fact, I just
got the Lapras ride
I don't think it's 100% but it'll show up soon. Took me a few battles before Cyndaquil popped up.

As soon as I post it shows up! Had me confused since the first two scans I got it on the first encounter.

Where is the rock to evolve to Vikavolt, also when/where can I get a Weedle for my one of my favorites Beedrill?
Only on the second island but curious.

As you can see i have a ton of bugs and a nasty Rock weakness but I really dont want to get rid of anyone. They have all performed well and won critical battles.

Prepare not evolve to Vikavolt until the last island. In Vast Poni canyon.
Do we know how each chain improves the chances of getting a shiny? I lost count after 40 or so. I don't have any idea how many I'm at now. Pretty soon I'm going to have to rely on struggle.
I feel like I've invested so much time into this now that I can't stop unless I catch one. But I don't know if it will be possible... my only attacking moves left will OHKO any Zubats that appear. I'll have to keep switching out Pokémon and hope the enemy decides to call for reinforcements without being damaged.

Quite late for both of those... oh well, sticking to Ariados then I guess. Gogo "b-tier" bug team.
The localisation is definitely more colourful than XY or ORAS.
If your average level is higher than her highest, then yes. Her highest is like, 27 iirc.

Great job by GameFreak to design new pokemon and then put them in as a 1% encounter in a fucking fishing hole.
