  1. 4th Island's Kahuna wasn't as bad as I thought, knowing ahead of the, once again, 3 level jump. Araquanid really pulled its weight, thanks to Scald actually doing decent damage off of 46 Special Attack because of Water Bubble, and it's naturally good bulk. The roughest part was Gastrodon because I don't have much that can handily take care of it and its stupid Recover. It even ended up using Struggle at the end.

    Still have never turned on the EXP Share, and team is ~level 40.

  2. You mean Lusamine and Guzma?

    I had trouble with two as well. Especially Lusamine.

    Her team is actually quite balanced, and she switches a lot.

    And I've heard rumors that Lusamine's team has perfect IVs and natures, just like Cynthia. Not sure if it is true, but it does makes sense, as her Pokemon suprisingly took hits very well even her frail Mismagius.

    And if its true, what is it with older blonde women in Pokemon having teams that are balanced and have perfect IVs?

    She didn't switch at all for me. She just went from one mon from the next. Araquanid lasted to Mismagius, and then Mimikyu handled the rest. A crit from a SD!Shadow Claw handled Milotic, with a lucky Safeguard. But yeah, without Mimikyu this would've sucked. When she sent Bewear out I fully realized I had team of only physical attackers.

    Guzma I'd say was tougher, as all of his mons hit hard. Masquerain is also really fast.

  3. I just got to Poni Island, and dang those last two fights were something. That was a solid 3 level jump after the last major battle, and there were only 2 battles in between! I had to Revive stall a little bit just to deal with the first one, but the second could've ended really nastily if I didn't have Mimikyu. Having a pokemon with only Normal and Fighting moves is not a good idea if ghosts are readily available. But yeah, considering I only have physical attackers, and it's a Fluffy!Bewear, things could've ended really badly.

  4. Hey, have the Pokemon XY&Z episodes beyond the 40th one been skipped for dubbing in favor of the Sun and Moon anime? I noticed that the latter has started in English, but the former doesn't have anymore episodes available in English. This sucks if that's the case. I don't really like Japanese voice acting. Female voices tend to be far too high pitched and male ones...well, I'm just much more used to English voices.

    Well, the Sun and Moon anime starts Dec. 5th, so there is a little bit before it starts. It also airs on Disney XD, so they may finish up the XYZ anime on Cartoon Network. We'll just need to wait and see.

  5. So as someone who is just about to take on the Pokémon League (having caught Lunala already), my final team is...

    Shigure the Primarina (Ice Beam, Hyper Voice, Sparkling Aria, Moonblast)

    Primrose the Toucannon(Beak Blast, Roost, Fury Attack, Bullet Seed)

    Vic Viper the Vikavolt (Bug Bite, Thunderbolt, Agility, Flash Cannon)

    Aversa the Salazzle(Flamethrower, Venoshock, Sludge Bomb, Toxic)

    Glowshroom the Shiinotic (Giga Drain, Moonblast, Spore, Strength Sap)

    Shirasagi the Palossand(Shadow Ball, Sand Tomb, Giga Drain, Earth Power)

    All are around level 50. Is there anything (without spoilers) that I should know going forward?

    Are team types a spoiler?

    Fighting, Rock, Ghost, Flying, and mixed.

    E4 have teams 54/55 (ace), and the last trainer has 56/57 (lead)/58 (ace). Beware the last trainer's Stealth Rocks.

  6. BTW, does anybody know when/where you can fight the trial captains?

    Go to there house's after fighting the Kahuna of the island (only for the first 2 islands).

    Ilima: Mansion on the west side of Hau'oli.

    Lana: House north of Olivia's shop in Konikoni.

    Kiawe: House west of Pokemon center in Paniola. Sun exclusive.

    Mallow: Restaurant in Konikoni. Moon exclusive.

    Water Mage, I'd say so. I was playing on switch until sometime before Kiawe's trial. Not many important fights since then (just got to Ula'ula), but it's something I guess.

  7. I finally finished this (was too tired after the drive yesterday and was busy most of today). :P I also got Eevee slippers!

    Looks good.

    Let's see, I recently defeated Totem Lurantis, and boy was that a pain. Well, at least the Trumbeak was. It just kept spamming Screech and Supersonic, with the occasional powerful Pluck. It got to a point where I was stalling with Super Potions and Revives to make Lurantis use all of its Synthesis and then taking little potshots. At the end I had to take a chance and just attack the Trumbeak to finish the battle, and I only got through thanks to Torracat not hitting itself twice and Trumbeak using an unnecessary Screech.

    Totem Salandit was unexpectedly strong with those Flame Bursts, but I got through it well enough.

    Current team:

    Beltigre: 24

    XX03: 23

    Kiwa Hirsuta: 23

    Mude: 22

    Scuttlebug: 22 Araquanid

  8. Done with one of the postgame questlines; really enjoyed it, albeit too simple for my liking. Time to go to the Battle Tree and see if it'll be any fun or if I'll get sick of grinding stuff with my super slow team.

    Oh yeah, does anyone know where you check friendship? I want to know where I stand with my Type: Null.

    Someone at Game Freak rubbed their hands together and laughed darkly when they implemented the Castform that shows up after that bird.

    Veteran trainer in Konikoni City.

  9. Just beat Totem Wishiwashi. He went down pretty easily thanks to my two weakest team members: Grimer and Dewpider. Grimer poisoned Wishiwashi and attempted to poison the back up Wishiwashi before going down to Helping Hand!Water Gun. It had lost 3/8 of its health by then when Dewpider came out. Dewpider used Infestation for additional damage and Bubble'd once, and after healing from a rather weak Helping Hand!Water Gun, Wishiwashi was down to 25% health, and so it became a weakling again. Another Bubble plus the poison and Infestation damage knocked it out. The helper Wishiwashi went down soon afterwards thanks to it only having Aqua Ring and Helping Hand.

    And here I got Grubbin to level 19 and used my rare candy on it for Charjabug because I heard how tough it was. Like I understand it could be tough, especially if you knocked it low enough for it to summon Alomomola. And I kinda cheesed it.

    Team right now:

    Beltigre: 19 Jolly Torracat

    XX03: 20 Quiet Charjabug

    Kiwa Hirsuta: 18 Adamant Crabrawler

    Mude: 18 Naive Mudbray

    Scuttlebug: 17 Adamant Dewpider

    : 15 Quirky Grimer

    Ana the name rater is in one of the buildings in Heahea city. I think the first one after the ferry station. Before the apparel shop I believe.

  10. So I'm at Route 4, finally got a Crabrawler, and Litten finally evolved. I decided to train some other pokemon while I wait for my other team members, so I have a Grimer and Meowth taking up some experience from Torracat, Grubbin, and Crabrawler. It adds a little more challenge, at least for the first island, as my main team isn't super strong. Having fun, and I even wiped once against Hala, as it turns out a defensively weak Fire type, and Bug type, and Poison/Dark type, a defensively weak Dark type, and two untrained mons purely to help in whatever way they can, is not the best team. First attempt ran pretty sour as I crit Mankey and lost 4/6 of the team, struggled through Makuhita, and got pummeled by Crabrawler. Second attempt went better as I didn't crit Mankey. Grubbin was the star as it resists Fighting and it has decent defense.

    Team so far is:

    Beltigre the Jolly Torracat.

    XX03 the Quiet Grubbin.

    Kiwa Hirsuta the Adamant Crabrawler (took forever for Iron Fist and then a decent nature).

    A Quirky Alolan Grimer (ace for Totem Gumshoos thanks to Poison Gas strats).

    A Timid Alolan Meowth.
