Also worth noting are megas like mega Garchomp; debatably worse than their regular forms despite large stat buffs. Now, you'll have to forgive me if I'm inaccurate to the current meta, I haven't been keeping up with the SM scene, but mega chomp has a few problems that hold it back. First off is...

Even though it's been quite a while (like, I played it on release), I might as well list out my team: Decidueye (Loki): A pretty decent member of the team. Dropped off towards the end unfortunately, but did well early-game. A solid starter pick. Magnezone (Ramuh): Absolutely phenomenal. Just...

Ability capsule exists, and IIRC can change from HA to non-HA, so it would still work, but require some additional effort. EDIT: Ignore me. I failed to read the ability capsule description. Let it be known there was facepalming (Or, Ability Capsule doesn't work on HA pokemon)

IIRC Pelago splits the beans evenly between your stacks, so you're not going to have 1 max and the others not.

Charizard, as has been mentioned before, is amazing. L1 Heat Wave works wonders, so having a Charizard ready to go as soon as you can evolve your starter would be amazing for recruiting in L1 dungeons. For that reason I'd suggest Charmander as one of your starters. For a partner...well, my gut...

In addition to the explanations already given, you can use the power items (The ones used for EV training) to guarantee a specific stat is passed down (Having a parent hold the one that increases speed EVs will guarantee that the speed IV of the parent holding it will be passed down). This is...

I would be surprised if it wasn't as much as you want (Haven't tried myself, but that's how it's been in all the games I've played), but if you want more money, a good passive money maker is the "rare treasure hunt" or whatever from the level 3 poke pelago treasure island (Aphun? I find it hard...

WTed a shiny Poliwag that I had just gotten from WT. Realized it as soon as I hit the trade button, and confirmed it in the dex later. (Although in my defense shiny Poliwag looks pretty similar to regular Poliwag and it was late :P)

Ok, I'm a little disappointed. How has this not been pointed out yet? Youngster early in SuMo: (Upon spotting you): "Let's go! Kneecaps!" (Upon defeat): "Aww... Brought to my knees." (After battle): "I gotta catch more pokemon! Pokemon with cool knees are so neat." The real kicker is that his...

Is there a resource for breeding/EV training yet? Something similar to the Quickstart guide to ORAS breeding/training. If not, where's a good place to train each stat aside from Isle Evelup (which has the bonus of not running the risk of getting unwanted EVs because I don't...think we have 100%...

Here to weigh in on my team members' rankings: Magikarp: Heartily agree with top tier. Tore through a ton of the game, and around when you get the rod the game's been chucking a ton of rare candies at you so the useless stage is really, really short. Magnemite: Also agree with top tier...

Pokemon Moon was absolutely a blast to play through, and I am really, really looking forward to being able to transfer my ORAS/XY Pokemon to Moon (This seems relevant once again. I can't stand breeding or doing the Tree without things like my precious 6IV ditto or my EV trained mons) Other...

Those calcs are pretty decent, and BOY is this thing tanky! It'd be a niche use for sure, but that really destroyed my expectations for what Pyukumuku would be able to take. Like when I was first shown calcs that M-Rayquaza can take an ice beam from M-Mewtwo Y, and OHKO in return (I mean...

IIRC, while the "battle gauntlet" was absent from XD, it was actually much, much more brutal in Colosseum. In Realgam Tower (Controlled by team Cipher), you first go through and fight all four of the admins (separately, not a gauntlet really), and unlock the Realgam Colosseum. In there, you...

My guess is that at least the whole excavation island or whatever (Isle Aphun according to the website) will be really, really useful, probably more efficient at getting evolutionary stones than say, super training, and it can (presumably) be going on while you're doing other things. The promo...
