Pokemon Sun and Moon A Month Away: Hype Thread Time!!

[Celestrian]

Trying to re get this shiny female Salandit is awful, oh my gosh. @_@

Without the store, finding balls is difficult x.x

[Celestrian]

Im trying to fill my dex now for the shiny charm.

[rachellion]

Definitely, they need a nerf so bad. I mean, they're a strong type, but they have uncommon weaknesses. I know, for me at least, I never used a poison or steel type Pokemon before Y and never used a poison move in my life before fairies were introduced.

Diglett is what I used for Sun against fairies

Diglett's also a good option!

Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaa I agree they need a nerf. In X and Y it was deeply satisfying to annihilate the fairy gym with a Vileplume. Kinda sad I don't have access to Oddish in Moon

Oh geez I can imagine! I haven't come across a female Salandit period - a shiny one must be incredibly obnoxious to get >.<

I haven't seen any shinies yet Mostly bumming around in post game leveling pokemon to evolve them. I got the other 2 starters from wonder trade so I'm buffing them up first.

Oh! Quick question about the hot spring in Poke Pelago: can it hatch eggs? Also what's the best way to raise happiness in this game (re: Cleffa, Igglybuff, and Pichu)?

[Celestrian]

@rachelion: I never used the hotsprings but if it's a female Salandit you need, I can get if for you.

[Sir Stardust]

Yup, the hotspring can be used for eggs!

Though I've found the fastest way to do it seems to be riding Tauros with a magma armor/flame body Pokémon in the party. >w>

I usually raise their happiness through the friendship-raising berries, but I've heard of an apparent glitch that raises their happiness when you teach them TM's, so if you have two TM's the Pokémon can learn, you can just teach it one move then erase that for the second one repeatedly. Takes about 10 minutes.

The game's making me destroy my first Pokémon? In the menu, something was flashing and when I pressed it, my starter Pokémon got destroyed. I've reloaded, but I'm wondering if I shouldn't hit that icon in the bottom right corner?

Bad photo but.....

What do you mean "destroyed"? Pokemon refresh is one of the ways to get close to your pokemon by petting and feeding the pokebeans. If they also get status problems during battle, you can heal them without having to use antidotes/paralyze heals/burn heals etc, which is really neat

When I tried it the first time, it went poof......luckily I reloaded.




Never mind!

[Sir Stardust]

You probably just closed out the refresh/switched the Pokémon and returned your starter to its pokeball.

What's the trick to getting Blissey? I've got my Chansey at max hearts, but leveling up does nothing. Hearts is happiness right? Is there something else that needs to be done?

No, the hearts are affection, happiness is from walking around with the pokémon in your party, using it in battle, giving it hold items and from massages and the frendship meals in the Festival Plaza.

[Blue Rose]

Give it Soothe Bell to increase friendship.

Anyone got any Jolly Abras with Synchronize. Trying to breed one so I can catch my ideal-non-IV supreme Mimikyu but I'm getting every nature BUT jolly and it's driving me bananas.

Thanks. That may take a while then. I'll add the bell also.

You can also leave it on the hotsprings island in the PokeApelgeo or however it's spelt; you can leave it there for up to 24 hours to raise its friendship. It's how I got all my friendship based evolution Pokemon to evolve so quickly. Just make sure you take them out after 24 hours or else they'll start to lose friendship. You can take them out for like a minute and put them back there instantly though.
