Bank out yet?

Not yet, but a listing for the patch has been on the Nintendo servers since the 13th. The S/M 1.1 listing appeared on December 22nd and launched January 10th, so use that to get a good idea of when it'll be out.

61 MB (compared to the original's 29) and is a redownload, like Pokedex 3D Pro compared to the original.

Lost to Cynthia at battle 30 of the Battle Tree. Fuck you Cynthia. I think I'm done with the Tree. It's just so tedious. All I really want is to get the Battle style after beating 50 but it's cheap as hell and takes so long.

Cynthia is hard but at least there's no bs with her. Fucking Sina is much worse cause her quick claw has 80% activation rate.

I just try Battle tree one time per day, it makes it much less tedious. Specially watching something while playing.

I am glad I use Golisopod so I don't give a shit.

Meanwhile Colress has a klinklang that will eat a pokemon guaranteed if it gets a boosted giga impact, and runs mega meta for mind crushing amounts of damage.

In on battle 35, only tried one other time and got to 33. Didnt make any changes to my team i could have won if i was being smarter. Honestly just happy ive gotten to the point where i can plan a team and it actually works

I somehow was able to beat Colress with an Alola-Ninetails and a Mimikyu on my team.

I still have no idea how.

I am convinced that the rare candy respawn in Melemele sea has been removed :(

RIP a reasonable source of daily leveling :(

Its on the sandbar connected to ten carat hill. You get to it by surfing from the beach near the tourist district. I haven't updated so I can't confirm if it was taken away. It is real finicky, some days it's there and some days it isn't.

I honestly find Colress to be one of the easiest streak trainers. Maybe its cause i use mega meta

Colress is the only special battle tree trainer I hate to encounter. Megagross with eviolite porygon2 tracing salamence's intimidate is a pain.

Rotom in general makes me rage. Frost isn't that bad because Ice is a terrible defensive type, but wash, heat and mow just are to tanky and do too much damage. And volt switch can go to hell.

Ugh, was trading to evolve my porygon and got an error, now im unable to trade

Hoe long is this timeout?

I don't think there's a set timeout, but they usually aren't that long. Still sucks though, what a weird thing to implement.

I'm in a Pokemon mood these days, would you say Sun / Moon is worth it on O3DS or the hardware really shits the bed too much ?

I'm on an original 3DS and the game is just fine bar some fps drops in double battles. Totally worth it!

The little rare candy spot? Got mine this morning so I doubt they patched it. Just the respawn rng being stingy.

Can I have two of these with each ability?

I'm about to head to sleep now, so I'll get back to this tomorrow.

Feel free to PM me with whatever you're offering. :)

Can I have these? Here is what I can offer (everything with at least 3/4 IVs, some have 5):

Dusk Ball Mimikyu (Jolly and Bold)
-Curse
-Nightmare
-Destiny Bond
-Grudge

Ultra Ball Cutiefly (Timid) - Shield Dust and Honey Gather
-Absorb
-Baton Pass
-Moonblast

Quick Ball Grimer (Adamant) - Gluttony and Poison Touch
-Poison Gas
-Shadow Sneak
-Stockpile
-Curse

Moon Ball Eevee (Bold) - Run Away and Adaptability
-Wish
-Yawn
-Stored Power
-Curse

Beast Ball Honedge (Brave)
-Tackle
-Swords Dance
-Destiny Bond
-Shadow Sneak

I'll take a Cutiefly, a Grimer, and an Eevee. Either ability for them is fine - a male is preferred if you've got it. I have the other two you are offering, but since we're trading these others, I can just give you the other two of mine you wanted. When would you like to trade?
 
Demoli I can help if you're still in need in a little bit.

What's the consensus on Slowking? I'm running a Slowbro right now and the only difference is Slowking has more special defense, which is generally what his electric weakness could use.

I've also been thinking about running the two of them together on a team. Just kinda gauge what team your opponent is using and use the more viable one to set up trick room or calm mind.

If you're on at all tonight, I'll be up pretty late. Otherwise, tomorrow around 6 or 7 ET works for me.

So I just learned that Spirit Shackle only works as long as Decidueye remains on the field.

That is actually awful. This move went from being one of my favorites to causing me to basically just drop Decidueye. =/

So i just got a shiny makuhita while breedind IVs, after like 7eggs.

I don't even like shiny hariyama. I'll take it tho

Let me show you through these halls, my friend, where treasures of indie gaming await...
Whats the min stat for a shiny? Got a shiny slowpoke in a 20 chain, but due to the predetermined EV spread, its hard to figure out its exact values. Does it have like all IV stats at least 20 or whats the exact rule there?

Isn't that the case with any area lock move? Even moves like Mean Look and Spider Web break when the user is gone.

Theres 2 strats, SOS chaining and masuda methood. If you want competetive shinies, masuda is always better cause you can min max abilities, natures and IVs.

Getting a decent shiny through chaining requires: Synchronize lead (50% chance of passing nature) and chaining over thresholds for more 31 IVs. After 30 chains iirc your pokemon will have 4 perfect IVs, so unless you were going for a zero speed special attacker, you'll allways ideally want to bottlecap it.

Honestly, the riskiest thing from sosing is the nature not passing. Apart from hidden abilities, it's the only thing that can not be fixed.
 
So I got a dye stall in my Plaza a couple of days ago and found out that if I want to dye using berries, it generally cost 30 of the super effective reducing berries. I mean I have all of them, however 30 is a high number for an item that takes initially 48 hours before its able to be harvested. Thank goodness you can speed up the precess to 24 hours (Pelago is fantastic!). Finally got the berries I needed to dye stuff dark purple just to realize it will additionally cost 10 FC (no big deal) and I can only dye1 item... 90 berries that can take a while to harvest for 1 dyed item? What the hell were they thinking!?

Sorry wanted to vent.

It's pretty much the incentive to keep growing all of the berries.

In hindsight, it's not that bad of an idea. Considering dyes and/or changing the players clothing is completely optional, it's not a necessity. Not to mention since berries can be grown with no maintenance whatsoever and basically off-screen, there's no additional effert needed.

I truly thought that with all 90 berries I could dye as many items as I wanted, so I got a little salty when I found out that's not how it works.

After getting a fucking heart scale from my haunted house after both of my tellers giving me luck in it, both my lotteries came through and got me a bottle cap.
 
What's the big deal with bottle caps? Maybe I haven't made it far enough into the game, but I got a gold bottle cap and a regular bottle cap from Poke Pelago and it seems valuable.

At level 100, bottlecaps can be used to turn your pokemo's ivs to their maximum value, 31. Goldens max all stats.

Take note that this is superficial, for breeding and hidden power purposes the ivs retain their initial value.

Got my plaza up to Lv 100+. Guest requests + soft reset is definitely the way to go here. With a 2x fortune buff, I was getting around 300 FC per run of requests. My current plaza looks like:

Fortune Teller 5*
Fortune Teller 3*
Fortune Teller 3*
Fortune Teller 3*
Rare Kitchen 5*
Rare Kitchen 5*
Treasure Hunt 5* (free space used for bottlecap 'purchasing')

I guess I should be on the look out now for 5* Fortune Teller and Dye House VIPs.

Can I meet up with you in-game to get a couple of 5* Treasure Hunts, please? I've been on the lookout for those forever, but no one ever seems to offer those up.

I have three 5* Fortune Tellers (Hoenn, Unova, and Kalos) you can purchase from me, too.

Also, if anyone has a 5* Team Green, please PM me.
