i also got a destiny knot from my level 8 pickup meowth that was caught next to the trainer school

interesting, that means its not jus the same as ORAS. Wonder if someoen will datamine that next

 

[hypno28]

If you're throwing them immediately, why not Quick Balls?

You get 10 Ultra Balls from a guy very early if you talk to him after catching 10 different things. If you're revisiting the area later, then yeah, Quick Balls.

So apparently there's a "special" fishing spot in that dock village on the last island where Dhelmise are more likely to appear (10% vs. the normal 1%). What and where is that spot?

How long does it take for Espeon/Umbreon to show up? I've been on Route 4 fighting the same Eevee for at least 4 hours and I've yet to see a single Espeon/Umbreon. Night switched to day cause I left my game open overnight so it should be an Espeon. What am I doing wrong?

 

[Dreamox]

Has the encounter rate for shinies increased at all? And is the shiny charm still around?

A spot with rippling water is a "special spot". There's usually one in each route that you can fish at, and once you do and it disappears, you can go inside/to another route or subsection and come back and the ripples with reappear.

 

[Karxrida]

Is there a dedicated Poké Ball store? I need shit like Quick Balls and Dive Balls, but I cannot remember for the life of me which Pokémon Centers sell which specific balls and don't want to jump around.

 

[Cutefluffysheep]

Do genesect/arceus/volcanion codes work in the new games?

Unfortunately, No.

I use Serebii's Itemdex to check where I can buy Pokeballs. (By the way, Quick and Dive are at the Route 8 Center.)

A punk in game says the odds are around 1 in 4000, so no for the increased odds.
For the Shiny Charm, you have to fill the Alola Dex and show it to one of the Game Freak Guys. They're around the first city of the second island.

 

[TK67]

Does anyone know of an easier way to get a hidden ability mareanie? cause I caught like 16 of them with no such luck.

 

[R_N]

There's apparently a set of eeveelution trainers that show up in the post game. How do you trigger those? Like one is supposed to be in Hauli Graveyard, but I combed the place a few times and didnt see them.

One of the houseboats has a door leading out to a fishing spot - the one in the upper-right corner. (It's where you get the Flash Cannon TM)

Go in the Steelix boat in the southern part of Seafolk Village and exit the ship through the southern door. There'll be a fisherman there and a fishing spot where you can get Dhelmise.

You need to talk to the leftmost cashier in the Thriftstore Megamart, he'll then tell you to find and defeat Eeveelution trainers around Alola, after which you go back to him, defeat him and his Eevee, and he'll give you the Eevium.

Hi Everyone!

Been a while since I've been on here. I really want to get back into competitive battling...ev training, iv breeding, etc. and I just beat the elite 4 on sun.

I want to know what I should be doing post-game in order to most efficiently get back into iv breeding/ev training. I know this is somewhat of a broad question, but any advice would be awesome!!

Use Adrenaline Orbs and farm the crap out of SOS battles. With recent changes and the stat items, it's extremely fast to max out a stat by knocking out the Pokemon summoned into battle over and over.

 

[ApathyandToast]

so a question about SOS chaining for IVs, do you just chain for about 30 pokemon, and then catch the next one hoping it has good IVs? is the nature of the summoned pokemon random and unaffected by a synchroniser lead?

Apparently you're guaranteed 4IV at a chain of 40, I just got lucky and caught a 6IV Ditto at a chain of 60.

but there's no way to tell what IVs it has until you commit to capturing it and ending the chain?

 

[Kanburi]

Yep, I just got bored at 60 and gave it a shot.

 

[aybekay]

Can you buy Fastballs and Heavyballs in the game ?

 

[MegaCharizard25]

I'm at the route 2 cemetery and just noticed that my Rowlet who was not traded and is not holding a lucky egg is gaining boosted exp. I'm not sure if it was getting boosted exp before. Does anyone know if there is a new way to gain boosted exp?

 

[Stellar]

4IVs are guaranteed above 30.

Nope, 1 per file.

You probably played with it a lot in Pokemon Refresh... either that or you are super over-leveled but have been holding off evolving it.

It does have 2 hearts so I guess that's it. Thanks for the answer
