I suppose (since I only have a Ditto and not a second Vulpix) I would have to trade for another Vulpix in a Ball I like, then?

Doesn't it have to be the exact same kind? Like if the male is at a different evolution stage for the line it has no chance to pass its ball down?
Heard it at a few places, does the modifiers for ivs/shiny rate/hidden abilities reset after 255 called allies when chaining?
Oh, is that true? I figured it was just same family.
You will have some trouble with bulky ground/water types, so a good grass type like Kartana or Tapu Bulu could help. In addition, it is succeptible to burns, something like Tapu Fini or Aquanid could be nice to absorb the status. Grass types might be a bit of a problem too, so something with Freeze Dry can cover a few of your weaknesses.
Recommendation for the set, use something in place of Pursuit (Zen headbutt?) The AI switches very rarely, and even when it does, another coverage move would have more raw power.
If you breed it with a Ditto, yes.
If it's a female and you breed it with a male of the same egg group, yes.
If it's a male and you breed it with a female Wimpod in another ball, there's a 50% chance the Beast Ball will get passed down.
If it's a male and you breed it with a female of the same egg group, no.
Is the number of times one can encounter each Ultra Beast limited?
Yes. To a degree.
Ordering for UBs
Sun is Nihilego -> 2x Buzzwole -> 2x Xurkitree -> 4x Kartana -> Guzzlord
Moon is Nihilego -> 4x Pheromosa -> 2x Xurkitree -> 2x Celesteela -> Guzzlord
I think that's correct from what I have found out. I'm currently at my second Xurkitree on Sun.
How odd. At least they provide multiples of the version exclusives. I imagine it is safe to assume they are guaranteed 3 perfect IV's since they do not breed. Thank you for the information.
The giant beach on the left hand side?
*facepalms* I translated the location's name reversed. I was looking at Poni Plains.
If I get a non-HA pokemon and breed it with a Ditto with Imposter, can the offspring have their HA?
No. The non ditto parent needs to have the ha to pass down to the offspring
Can confirm this is correct. Caught them all in Sun, on Celesteela in Moon. Personally I'd have liked if it was 3 Buzzwole, 3 Kartana and 3 Pheromosa, 3 Celesteela. Kartana and Pheromosa don't have that many different sorts of sets.
My question right now is: is it worth using my Master Ball trying to get a Tapu Lele with HP Fire and then just trying my luck to get HP Ice or Fire on Tapu Koko? It'd majorly expedite the process, and I feel like Lele needs a good HP type more than Koko does.
Edit: Also, is there anywhere to discuss thoughts on what the next game might be? I almost feel like a Gen I remake could be just as possible as Gen IV, because Sun and Moon have certainly touched on both a good deal.
What's the most efficient way to grind BP in Sun/Moon?
I think Red is your opponent for the 20th Single Battle. (as in, before the Super Singles) It's this battle which he'll give you the Mega Stones afterward.
Get a good team and go through the battle tree. You get more and more BP as your streak increases. I got something like 400 in total when my first streak ended at 55ish
Are there any attempts being made to decode RNG for SuMO?
There was a theory that some of the UB looks like some characters (like Lillie or Team Skull boss), this theory was a flop ?
Fwiw, OmegaDonut made a tweet about RNGing making a comeback, at least for egg breeding.
for super singles, you are given 2 + min([n/10], 5) bp for your n-th consecutive victory and 50 additional bp for defeating red at #50
in other words, 2 bp per win for each of the first 10, 3 bp for each of 11-20, etc. capped at 7 points per battle
