Where is the battle tower? Is that the battle tree?

Hooray! I got my favourite pokemon, Totodile 
Yes. Is at the battle tree. Is the ace trainer to the right of the PC. You need to hatch 20 eggs before he unlocks the feature though.

Finally got all the power items and started EV training with Pokerus and SOS training. Good lord, you really can just chain seven pokes and be done. Nuts.
Hatch 20 eggs, talk to the guy to the right of the PC at the battle tree.

I asked in the trading thread and I'll ask in this.
Anyone with a HA Abra?
Or know the process of Obtaining one when Teleport is 20pp? Do I need like Fling+Arena Trap Leppa Berry Trapinch or something?

How come nobody gets arrested in this game? Like, what these people do is horrible and could have caused a ton of damage had an 11 year old with a giant snake monster god of the earth not helped them with their problems. But man, to not arrest anyone and just let them go back to their lives is a kick in the gut.
Don't be ridiculous, why would Pokemon based off the Moon and Sun be in the game based around the Moon and Sun???
I don't care if you're in a coma, you can't just run off to Kanto after releasing unspeakable horrors on the planet, on top of doing no doubt illegal gross crimes against nature in your secret basement labs.

Don't really mind Z-moves after thinking more about it. I see them as glorified/stronger Gems
Or they take over an entire town and not a single arrest...

With QR teams coming, I'm not even going to bother making my own teams.
I have a lot of fun battling, and I used to be pretty good at it back in Gen III, but the amount of work to build a team is just too much for me to bother.
My ultimate dream would be Showdown being built with a QR team generator built right into it. Now that would be something incredibly cool if they can reverse engineer the team QR codes.

Isn't that island's Kahuna keeping most of Team Skull penned in Po Town? Seems like he's doing as much as one man can.
It's crazy!
How does the system actually work now? For a 1 EV Pokemon does it go 1, 2, 4, 8, etc, or something else?
Seems like even without Pokerus it goes really quick.

Damn that would be a dream.
Yep, my main goal was to bait his Garchomp into a Outrage so that Primarina could switch in without worrying about Poison Jab and take him out, but just in case he did realise the trap, I used Double Edge to do massive damage to anything else he brought in.
Competitive battling isn't really like in game battling, sure, knowing type match ups and knowing which moves are good and which to put on your team members for synergy are important, but prediction is key. Being able to look at every possible move that can occur and then accurately make a prediction on which of those moves your opponent is most likely going to do next is a skill that can turn a loss into a win, and something that divides the good players from the rest.
Most players would just look at a Tapu Koko vs Primarina situation for example and think, "All the Tapu Koko guy has to do is click Thunderbolt and he faints Primarina", without thinking of the A-Marowak with Lightening Rod the other opponent has. A player who has gained the ability to predict would notice the A-Marowak and think whether he should risk the Thunderbolt in case the opponent doesn't actually switch out(because remember, the opponent is trying to make predictions too), or just immediately bring in his A-Marowak counter in order to hopefully catch the other guy out, assuming of course the opponent doesn't predict that and bring in a counter to counter that A-Marowak counter.
It's 100% mind games.
Some Z-Moves are utterly ridiculous though.
Yeah, but they still took over an entire down, and it seems more like he just said fuck it and built a wall....and made them pay for it.
You can buy them at the department store. I think on the first island.
Ah, I thought they were exclusive to pelago. Ill check now, thanks!

You get an ice stone soon after the ghost trial, in Po Town
Some of them may be glorified Gems, but only the ones that were advertised in the pre-release videos. GF hid all the actual good ones from the consumer eyes, there's some broken shit hidden in this game that non-competitive players will never know about.

So Porygon Z can be any type it wants (with Adaptibility STAB) and have +1 to all stats, pfft big deal

The amount of times i've been wiped out in this entry is probably beyond the last 4 generations or so combined. Granted I've been more lax about it (which is to say not really going for the revives unless it's like Elite 4 territory) after learning the cost isn't that bad at all.
Yet I'd be lying if I didn't admit on occasions here I've just been straight up bested, the post game has a sneaky habit of throwing you into fights where I'm thinking "yeah, I'm ready" only to suddenly realise these guys are gunning for me with full teams of six pokemon with great type coverage in their movesets (fuuuck you flamethrower Slowbro!).
The games levelling has odd spurts of being too powerful and then plopped back in your place, not that I mind.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
The only thing that bothers me is why go out of their way to create an alternative timeline to justify the existance of Mega Stones in ORAS if Mega Pokémon were going to kick the curve Game Freak style anyways? Because I certainly didn't ask for this alternative universe/timeline nonsense at the Emerald Episode in ORAS.

The thing that gets my about the alt timeline stuff is when it comes to characters from Gens 1-5 turning up now.
Is Colress still the guy that did some rather dubious things in here? I gots to know!

Don't know, but here's everything I found:
Go to Kukui's Lab for a reward
Also in Kukui's Lab, Lillie's diary can now be read
Go to Iki Town for a short cutscene
Go to the house next to the motel on Route 2 to battle Guzma
Return to Hano Grand Resort to meet Kahili
Talk to one of the clerks at the Thrifty Megamart to start a quest
Go back to where you met Colress on Route 8 to meet him again
Start the Ultra Beast quest at the motel on route 8
Return to Aether Paradise to battle Faba
Also in Aether Paradise, you can find Gladion in the upper levels and get Type: Null
In the lowest level of Aether Paradise, you can get legendary items from previous gens
You can find Plumeria in one of the trailers just outside the desert, but she doesn't say anything interesting
Return to the Aether House west of Tapu Village to get a Porygon
Return to the pokemon center in Po Town to get a skull tank
Talk to a guy in the Seafolk Village pokemon center to battle a shiny exeggcute
Go to the area just outside the ruins on Poni Island to get Surf and Waterfall
Go to all the island's ruins to catch the Tapus
Return to the Altar of the Sunne/Moone(depending on your version) with Nebby in your party to enter a portal to another world. Once you're in the other world, go to the Lake of the Sunne/Moone.
Go east of Hapu's house/Vast Poni Canyon entrance to fight Dexio
After you beat Dexio, you can explore the eastern half of Poni Island
Refight the E4

A no grinding nuzlocke would be near impossible in this game. I did a no grinding/no items in battle/set/no refresh/no Z moves run and ended up really underleveled where a lot of stuff in endgame could ohko most of my team. That kind of disadvantage would be insane under nuzlocke rules.
Where do you see this?
An NPC will upgrade your PC in the postgame.

You got to pay to play.
Not until the post game. I collected pretty much all of them before the credits.
I think it's the Taurus charge that makes it go so quickly.
Well I am allowing Pelago and Refresh, so that lets me get better returns on experience. I also allow Z-moves and in-battle items (basically, all rules that would in effect apply for any in-game trainer) but you cannot use the merchant/stores to buy anything, so you can only use a finite resource. I use Set, of course.
So far the issue has been typing, experience hasn't been a problem (and most of my team is still <2 hearts in Refresh) so long as I can keep the "main team" of four or so pokemon alive. Lurantis and Olivia wiped me due to typing issues, not level issues. I was generally at or above their level.
You can get a better grass type from an NPC trade very soon. Catch a Lillipup for it.

Still desperately searching for methods to chain for HA Abras. Any and all tips appreciated.
Gastly+Mean Look+Toxic doesn't work due to the single Abra having 20pp of Teleport.
I've looked at Sandstorm+Arena Trap Trapinch but the same issue. I need to be able to continue the chain past 30 and at the same time check for magic guard so some form of entry hazard might be the only way, but I don't know how to achieve this.
Any thoughts?
