I'm currently doing the Ultra Beast missions, and Xurkitree is giving me so much issues. I don't want to catch it in the Beast Ball, so its partially my fault

Yeah, his high Sp. Atk is very nasty and it gets stronger each time he knocks out a Pok?mon thanks to Beast Boost. Not to mention he is one of the few Pok?mon that learn a move that raises a stat by three stages (Tail Glow, +3 to Sp. Atk). Good thing you don't encounter him with that move during the story. :p

I suggested bringing the event Munchlax for him. Snorlax has a high Sp. Def and HP stat, and it also gets the move Hold Back through the event (same thing as False Swipe).

Thanks for the offer but I'm really trying to avoid trading with friends and get them on my own lol. I'm just hoping I don't get one in another language that I can't rename...

I've got a few interesting ones including a Sneasel and the anchor ghost. I haven't really caught too many Pokemon so Wonder Trade is doing 'wonders' for my Pokedex. :rolleyes:

He 1 hit Koed my Snorlax with his Discharge. I unfortunatly had to cave and just use a beast ball on him. Wanted to catch all the legendaries/mythical pokemon in weak pokeballs, but if they're going to continuously steamroll my team and make me loose major money, then I'll use any means necessary at this point
 
Ah man so I can't complete the UB questline without beating Dexio, because he is blocking the path to that section of the game. I finally found a way to take out that espeon but then metagross quickly revealed my steel counters are weak. Brought in salazzle for that but then mega alakazam takes out everything in 1 hit, even with non-effective attacks. Since this fight is basically forced at this point for both the UB questline and access for anything on Poni Island I guess I'm going to have to work it out.

If in doubt, overlevel everything!? Although, not sure how I would do that given there is nowhere to level anything at this point.

I think I'll switch ninetales for pheromosa, at least temporarily.

The battle that gives you access to mega evolutions? I struggled with that too. I was totally unprepared for it as I was just wandering around when the cutscene triggered. He was able to take down most of my Pokemon but I remember I was able to one-shot mega Alakazam before he could attack. I believe my highest was 65 at that point.

I'm the complete opposite actually- I can't beat Anabel to unlock the UB quest.
 
I actually just managed to tank through it with Primarina. Was lucky that energy ball didn't take her out. Z move did one-shot mega Alakazam. Pheromosa was not needed at all.

My highest is 62 (Primarina as it happens), everything else is less than lv 60.

Well if you find any of the starter in wonder trade
If they evolve (if they have original name of the Pok?mon in that language) they changed to the original name in English
 
Anyone else find some of the music a bit random? I mean its good music, don't get me wrong, but some of the battle themes especially (Tapu fights, UB) have several random mood swings and clashing sequences that don't really stick together. Doesn't have a good harmony.

I actually like the Ultra Beast theme, but I know what you are talking about. Ten Carat Hill is just a mess. The music is nice at first, but then we get to 0:43...


I discussed this with someone on another community and they described it "as if a higher up at the office pushed Junichi's buttons the wrong way, to which he decided to just completely botch up the song as a form of petty revenge".

I actually like the tapu songs it's just they sound so different I like it and plus each have their own little tune because of their type and the island they guard
 
Just a quick question for all of you professional breeders out there, I'm currently breeding Panchams to try to get one with the Scrappy ability, if I just keep breeding them, will I eventually get one with Scrappy, or is there a specific requirement to get Hidden Abilities?

Oh wow, that really is just such a hot mess. I really like the beginning, it's kind of sad that it has to spiral downwards so quickly. It just seems like it was thrown together, like the melody or keeping anything consistent during the song was a very low priority. The music just seems to be getting worse and worse with each game, and it's a real shame, I always look forward to the music.

On a good note (pardon the pun), I really enjoy the beast world music. When Lillie says that the air is so thick it's painful to breathe, I can really feel it in the music and how ethereal and otherworldly it is.

The parent has to have the Hidden ability in order to pass it down you cannot get it any other way
 
There are definitely some particularly great ambient themes. That track that plays on certain "hidden" areas and quiet paths between areas is great too.

I learned a new word from Pokemon today, thanks to Pheromosa's pokedex entry. "Lissome".
 
What route is better to chain eevee so I could get lucky and try to get espeon?
Route 6 or route 4?

Id say route 4 just because at route 6 you can encounter Eevee at level 17 which will know bite and swift, and I personally find damaging moves annoying in chains. Eevee in route 4 won't know these moves and will know less damaging moves.

But tbh I don't think it matters at all, it's just personal preference.

Well on the route 14 they sand attack which can lower your accuary which is also a bother :/
