all my loli wolf companions are so moe
So I'm a lazy bum but technically even just doing 1 Island Scan for the Global Missions would count me for the minimum reward of 400+BP right
I got it already, actually.
It took me four tries, tho
First was koed by a peck (corsola was already at 1hp). The next one was poisoned and didn't call for help in time. I broke the third chain because it called a shiny
It might just be my luck, it was the 19th mareanie who KOed the corsola on the first try, and the 16th in the second. The third was at 17 mareanies.
The one I captured was the 29th of the chain, the very first HA.
I lost track on how many corsola I KOed doing this lol

Anyone down to help me evolve my porygon? Ill try to make it worth your while
So, for the swap shiny method, do you ust hatch an ivnentory of magikarps at a time, then swap the slot that would be shiny and it keeps the shinyness?
Are the IVs and nature locked o the karp egg or the new egg? the image i saw explaining left me a bit confused.
Cause i'm nearing 450 hatched beldum eggs with masuda+charm and i'm losing hope.

Alright GAF I have a question for you.
I've been avoiding spoilers for this new generation (other than the competitive aspects) and am almost ready to take the plunge into buying Sun/Moon but I'm not in the mood for the mindless repetition of how these games usually go.
So my question is: What percentage of my time during the main quest will be spent fighting some poorly motivated evil team's underleveled poison/dark/fire/Rattata-esque Pokemon? And be honest! I don't want to buy the game only to find out that I was deceived by the internet.

Not that long. A lot of the story is crammed to the end. Occasionally you fight a couple of mooks. But I can only think of about 3/4 times before the end-concentration where that's the case. I definitely don't think it's as bad as other games.
This is from what I remember though, you might want more opinions. Also, this time around I didn't mind fighting the mooks, they're actually kinda funny.

I am dying to hear about Bank compatibility. I've reached a point where I need some utility Pokémon that I don't want to remake because I spent a long time making special shiny ones in XY. I want to use those ones. They are my friends.
I was fine with the Bank delay at first because it meant you had to play the new games from scratch. But I thought we would have heard about an update by now. I think I always expected Bank to go live January 1st. And now I'm basically waiting for Bank before I do anything else.

My luck has been outstanding this generation. In Moon, caught a shiny Poliwag (now a Politoad) while SOSing for Poliwrath/Politoad. It doesn't have Drizzle, but it did have a Modest nature and 4 perfect stats. 
Very usable, especially after I bottle cap her. A few days ago, I caught an shiny Adamant Raticate in Sun while trying to catch a Komala. She also doesn't have her hidden ability, and her IVs are pants, but will definitely be usable after a golden bottle cap.
If that weren't enough, I caught Pokerus last night! I know it's easy to get from online trading now, but it was still really cool to see. The only other time I got Pokerus myself was back in Platinum, which I transferred up to Gen 5 and 6.

in Sun, I'll be able to trade over all the Sun exclusives and finish my Alola Dex in Moon. ^-^ Honestly, I'll probably end up finishing my Alola Dex in Sun as well 'cuz I'm crazy like that. xD

Unfortunately, I think I'm finally burnt out on Pokemon. I thought Sun/Moon would bring me back but there's just not enough changes to the core loop to keep me going on a long adventure like this.
I did enjoy the increased challenge. The Elite Four plus follow up fight was way tougher then stuff I encountered in past games. But the largely same core gameplay combined with an increased focus on a dull story (seriously Lillie, please shut up and let me play!) really burnt me out quick post 2nd island.

Anyone know the answer to this?
The new egg will have the same inheritances and rolls from the magikarp egg
If the shiny karp inherited hp, atk, def from the ditto, and satk, sdef from the parent magikarp, then the new egg will inherit hp, atk, def from the ditto again, and satk and sdef from the other parent.
The random rolls will be the same too, so if the shiny karp is timid and has 27 speed, the new egg will be timid with 27 speed
Edit
Ah, you're breeding a beldum
Beldum is genderless, so you will have to do the reject egg thing
Only legendaries are shiny locked
And you can do the method with genderless/fixed gender pokemons, but it requires extra steps
If you're worried about repetition in general then don't worry, this is the most different Pokemon game by a large margin. But as far as fighting grunts go, there aren't that many fights. They'll show up sporadically until the 3/4 of the game where the team gets real focusband and the overall story reaches its climax... It's extremely condensed tho, to a fault, so that doesn't take too much time.
The first two hours or so have some annoying hand-holding, but the rest is pretty good and this time there are trainers who use real strategies with decent teams, it's great.

Could someone please be a dear and help me evolve a polygon? I've got a few extras that are perfect in every stat except speed. And I think 29 in defense. Hell ill give you a cosmog if you help me out. I just don't wanna train the guy until I know it's a porygon2.
I can help if you are available right now. Tough to coordinate these things.
Someone save me from trying to hatch a shiny miniors. This will not be ending anytime soon.
If no one gets back to you in an hour I'll be home by then and help you out. No worries about the cosmog though lol, that's not necessary.

Could someone please help me out with an adamant and/or modest synchronizer?
I don't have much to offer except some timid breedject meowths in moon balls with parting shot and foul play and 0 attack IV's. I also have some spare evolution stones.
Thanks

I don't think they've said a word beyond "January" which makes me think it will be late in the month.
Not a Mystery Gift, but did you get Magearna?

Took my 12 full boxes of Magikarp, but at 2:30 last night, on what would have been my first Magikarp of my 13th box, I got a shiny again. I immediately reloaded my save, pulled out my Magikarp, put in a Rowlet, and now I have a shiny Rowlet! I don't think I can go through that again for Popplio, I might just try to GTS that.

Why does he wear the mask!?
No, how do I?
Gotta scan a qr code, google it and specify your region and you'll find it.

>Pheromosa used High Jump Kick!
>Glaceon avoided the attack!
>Pheromosa kept going and crashed.
>Glaceon used Blizzard!
>Pheromosa fainted.
So my 90% (or 81% if it was holding Brightpowder/Lax incense) attack misses, but they hit with a 70% Blizzard with no Hail...BS.

Always relevant:
RNG in any RPG is a bitch.
I mentioned it before, but the only reason I won a single match with an awful team in the Battle of Alola was because I got stupid lucky and managed to hit through a Double Team and dodged two Zen Headbutts.

Spent so long grinding in Poni Gauntlet that I found a shiny Bewear. I guess that's not unexpected. I bet there's a an unnaturally high amount of shiny Pelipper, Bewear, Granbull, Raticate, Golduck, and Gumshoos out there. I even remember some people in this thread complaining about their first shiny being a shiny Granbull or Pelipper.

Never saw that image before hahahaha! RNG will always go out of it's way to prove people wrong.
I'm sorry, 2 ZEN HEADBUTTS!?
If anyone doesn't, I will probably have some by day's end. Think this is going to be my next breeding project.

Mine too. I'm going for a modest Alolan Raichu in a Fast Ball. I really wish I could get an Alolan Raichu with Surf though. Maybe they will make it an event.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I always seem to be lacking a good Thunder type in these games...

Hey, did you ever get your Minior? I'm taking on that using the Minior that you gave me, I both really appreciate it and also feel your pain, lol.

Got to 42 straight wins in Battle Tree Super Singles with Pheromosa, Wishiwashi, and (Mega) Salamence. The loss was my own fault for having Return on Salamence instead of Double Edge and I may replace Rock Slide with Earthquake as Poison and Electric types made things harder. In the end, I'm pretty satisfied with my results and netted a ton of BP in the process!
Not yet. I stopped because I was getting frustrated. Since then I've hatched a shiny (Riolu), which upsets me that it wasn't Minior but all in due time haha

I don't get this Poke Pelago thing. I had wild Pokemon visit, but then the next day they were gone. What was I supposed to do in that time?
Man, my minior has been getting quite a few near kills. I may have to take the effort and bring it to 100 just to fix its slightly imperfect offenses, as it's only just barely surviving water attacks as it is so I can't take much more out of its Hp EVs.
The team makeup is fun though. Silvally and Golisopod are a good pair.

Ok.. can someone explain Toxic Spikes to me?
It's feels underwhelming. Is it like regular spikes where the more layers you put the more Toxic damage the poison will do?
If so how many layers should I aim for?
