Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon

O: Nice!

Smogon did it--they quick-banned Power Construct from Zygarde (all other forms). Makes sense, given that Zygarde-50% is hard to OHKO and Zygarde-Complete has base HP that's more than 4/3's of Giratina-A's, yet still retaining Giratina-A's offences and defence (and having Giratina-O-like special defence).

In the meantime, it does seem like lower-rung Pokemon Showdown ladder play is significantly worse than higher-rung. I've seen opponents switch Kartana in on my strong resisted special attacks at least twice already. I OHKO'd it each time. Guys, that's not how to use Kartana. Sadly, I keep having a roughly 50/50 win rate, so I can't break out of the lower ladder.

Golly! Now what am I going to do to replace it!? D:

Yeah... regardless of how well you build a team, it's impossible to anticipate some of the inane curveball gimmicks often used in lower ladder (I notice this especially in Doubles and BH; guess there's more material to work with there). *shudder* I just try to find times when there are less likely to be trolls (fortunately around afternoon/evening in my timezone), or hope I get lucky.

Also, I'm playing Ubers now, and I've missed a bunch of vital Precipice Blades/Focus Blasts, which has cost me a few games already. Other than that, though, the team works well. Never had this many Precipice Blades misses before.

I FEEL THE NEED TO SHARE MY UNFATHOMABLE GLEE WITH YOU AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE. I was trying to get a good nature for my Litten and ended up with this on the fifth attempt!

Awesome! Did it have a good nature, too?

Was it shiny during the cutscenes when you received it? That'd be really impressive, but I'm guessing it suddenly turned shiny when it entered your party.

Does anyone know how to get to the secret area northeast of route 1?  I can't find an entry point on my map

Noc

If you're referring to the area by the ocean cave, there's a secret entrance in the Melemele Meadow. Search the southwest edge of the meadow carefully.

To be fair I found it, though I'm also super meticulous
