poke pegalo

Isn't that really slow? I can generally get a stat fully EV trained in about 10 minutes through battles

I did find a solution - I have been using the power items for the EVs and I realised that I was getting most of the actual EVs from them, so I just had it hold that EV item while the battles were against the Pokémon which boosted the EVs of the other stat for the Pokémon.

[Glork]

Glork's post reminded me: If anyone is having trouble acquiring a particular breedable Pokemon let me know. I can't guarantee good IVs but if it can be bred I can breed it.

Can I take you up on this and get a Cranidos breeded? Don't care about stats, nature, or anything like that.

I have it all set if you can trade now.

Thanks. I fell asleep minutes after making that post and was out of commission all day yesterday but I'll be around basically all day today. I'll keep an eye on this thread so you can lmk when to get online in Festival Plaza.

[Annadog40]

Thematically, the Festival Plaza bothers me. It is so different than anywhere else in the game.

[Glork]

I think it fits with the general vibe of Alola region. There's a lot of "happy fun times togetherness" expressed by NPCs throughout the region, and Festival Plaza is supposed to represet that.

[AniX]

I'm going to hang online in the Plaza while doing other things so just send a request when ready.

[Glork]

K, in online in FP now.

[Annadog40]

I like what happens if you spin.

[AniX]

I've been trying to send a trade request but I keep getting bounced. Try sending one to me?

[Glork]

I'm getting the same. I assume it's a network/Global Link issue.

[Davsto]

Do shiny Pokémon automatically have one max IV? The Fearow I caught a week or so ago had a maxed attack IV, and I just caught a Zubat with max Sp. Def, so I don't think it's coincidence.

[Parama]

there are so many legendaries jesus christ

i think I have all the ones I can get without trades now but sheeeesh

[McMenno]

there really aren't

[Davsto]

There's 18 including events and Cosmog/Cosmoem, and there seems like even more than usual as they are really bunched together at the end whereas usually they're at least spread out a little during the main story

I think that's around the same number as Gen IV? Let me count

Gen I - 5
Gen II - 6
Gen III - 10
Gen IV - 13/14 (depending whether or not you include Phione)
Gen V - 13
Gen VI - 6

Conclusion: yes there are a lot of legendaries

[Parama]

Cosmog line: 4
Tapus: 4
UBs: 8
Type: Null line: 2
Necrozma, Magearma (I think that's the name), Marshadow

= 21

[Davsto]

There's only 7 UBs, and I wouldn't consider the Type: Null line to be legendary

[Davsto]

But even if you agree with my lower number, that's still 4-5 more than the highest numbers in previous gens, so it's definitely quite a few

[Parama]

could swear there were 8 lol ok
type null is legendary though the dex considers it legendary

[Davsto]

I mean I suppose? But I wouldn't really say it is, not really got a justification but yeah, you're the first person I've seen say that so idk

[Natirasha]

Type:Null is there with Rotom and Volcarona for me in that they're not specifically Legendary, but they're more legendary than other pokemon. Pseudo-legendary, if you will.

[Psyche]

but pseudolegendary already means something different from that...

[Psyche]

but yeah i get it
below mythical (ie event exclusive) and most legendary pokemon and above pseudolegendaries, there's a class of legendaries that are as rare as the standard legendary but less, er, distinguished by their base stats and/or lore

[Psyche]

though bulbapedia doesnt class type: null as a legendary
and it seems to evolve
does the thing breed?

[Natirasha]

Larvesta evolves.

[SleepyKrew]

Larvesta/Volcarona aren't legendary get over it
The Cosmog line evolves
Manaphy can breed
