Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon

[Dudeman]

idek what I'm at 40 something percent, but dang am I having trouble getting Braviary since I'm too lazy to level up my Rufflet...

Give Rufflet a Lucky Egg, get its Affection level to 1, drop it at the front of your party and start grinding in the Poni Gauntlet by switching out to a stronger party member right at the start of a battle. You'll get at least a level per battle probably until close to Lv. 40. (Haven't actually gotten that far with anything I'm evolving, but I've achieved two levels per battle up through Lv. 30.)

ninja'd:

I'm having a lot more fun on my second play through. Just got Golisopod!

Wow, you're playing through it again already? (also good choice, Golisopod's a BAMF)

[mikey]

Help plz

EDIT2: If anyone has Sun and needs a Pheromosa, I've got three extra. Would appreciate a Buzzwole in return.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try that! I actually encountered a Braviary in Poni Plains on my first try, but of course it had whirlwind...

[mikey]

would there be any interest in a sun/moon competitive/casual tourney?  Maybe battle royal or multi battles?

[braix]

My highest level Pokemon is like lv20 but sure

[DocDoom2]

Ooh, sounds like a fun way to test my HA Alolan Muk strategy!
I should probably unlock the IV Judge first though...

[Dudeman]

I find it a tad annoying that you have to unlock the IV judge, but I guess it gives you a reason to actually try out the post-game battle attraction.


EDIT so that I don't double post:

Legendaries

I'd like to thank GameFreak for the approach they're taking with version-exclusive legendaries this time around. The version-exclusive Ultra Beasts have multiples so that you can trade for the ones you can't get without losing the ones you had, and you get a Cosmog that can evolve into a second Solgaleo/Lunala to trade for someone else's second Lunala/Solgaleo. It's a win-win situation, and I'm a big fan of that.

I HATCHED A SHINY LITTEN

[mikey]

how do you guys get so many shinies
I've only ever gotten a shiny zubat a long time ago

[Nebbles]

I wasn't even trying, I was just mass breeding Litten to throw on the GTS to fill out my Pokedex. Just pure luck!

[mikey]

why are you all such lucksacks

[Dudeman]

Hey, I have encountered a grand total of zero shinies in all my years of Pokémon (Red Gyarados doesn't count). Consider yourself lucky that you found even a Zubat.

[SlowPokemon]

I can't ever top finding a shiny Spinda in Omega Ruby. That's in my top ten favorite Pokémon.

You're not the only one...
