[quistion regarding double battles and split moves]

not all sound based moves hit both targets. Bug Buzz only hits one target. You're probably confusing it with the fact that all sound based moves can bypass substitute.

[The aquarium quest is TOO GRINDY AND LONG !]

I don't think grinding is much of an issue at that point considering you have access to the breeder in Sashilla that gives you XL Exp Candies iirc

Are you on v13.03? The change log for the new patch says the issue should be fixed

why not aim to get a Shuppet with Frisk from Narcissa's gym? then you dont have to catch them to check, just let frisk alert you if one has it

you don't actually send out mons in the safari zone so I don't think it would activate

wild nosepass can carry them with a 5% rate. If you have compound eyes, you can raise that chance to ~23%. oh and it only has a 2% encounter rate in the sheridan caves.

They can drop thou, i got mine today after my 17th nosepass...

Alternatively, you can also find nosepass in one of the safari zone areas at a slightly higher rate (10%). You just have to catch them each time to check.

It's a two word anagram. From the investigate feature, you learn that one of those words is "labor." You're supposed to figure out the rest.

[Someone please post the team and statergy they used to beat Saki]

My team is Infernape, Torterra, Gengar, Hydreigon, Mega Gardevior, Magnezone
 

For aggron, I lead with torterra with its crest. It kept going for blizzard which barely did any damage due to the crest while I 3HKOed it with earthquakes.

 

For the majority of the team I kind of cheesed it with destiny bond Gengar + some revives. The only real problem was the mega metagross which outsped so I had Magnezone thunder wave it first.

 

For Duraladon I OHKO’d it with Close Combat from Infernape

[Dev Appreciation Thread]

Thank you to everyone who worked on the game! You all are amazing. I know it was an intense 2 years working on this version, but we appreciate all of your hard work. Looking forward to this release and the future.

This is a weird one. Please send me your save so I can figure it out, thanks!

Looking a bit further into it, I don't think that was the actual problem, but the tile that triggers the event with him can be avoided by walking down from where I am in the picture., letting you into the village without it triggering. Sorry for the confusion. I'll also attach my save if you want to look into it.

I did Popplio on Normal mode! Venam actually wasn't too bad there.

As for this, you can only fly after beating the Leader for the chapter, and straight up leaving the stadium with Fly bugs the game as far as I know. I don't quite know the last scene of the chapter, so if you do, please let me know.

Souta’s badge is what unlocks the ability to Fly, not Adam’s. His unlocks Dive. You also need the HM in order to use it, so you can actually fly back to Gearen as soon as Damien brings you back to Route 9, before going to the stadium.

From what I've heard, it actually isn't possible, the Ditto is static and cannot have the Metal Powder.

However, I did fix the fact that Ralts was missing from the Fighting section.

I can actually confirm that the static ditto does indeed have a chance to hold metal powder, at least in V12. Combined with Cell Batteries from wild charjabug makes it possible to get ralts as soon as you beat kyogre in valor mountain. That's when I got mine in V12.

I just noticed that there aren't a lot of pokemon in chapter 7. Is it the Blacksteeple part ? Can't remember, didn't play the game in months

Chapter 7 is from Crawli to Angie

Technically, the answer to the eviolite question is yes since it’s already in V12

I don't think that's RorimB.. I mean, the skin color and hair don't fit, sure he had colorful hair but not straight up rainbow colored, it was more resembling of an aurora of sorts
 

My guess is that's the Puppet Master without it's maks.. Unless they are redesigning RorimB I suppose..

A few days ago, Zumi mentioned he was getting a redesign 

[Alola-Ninetales not learning Aurora Veil]

That’s the gen 8 learnset. V12 only has up to gen 7 content and in gen 7, Ninetales only gets it via TM.

[are Ledian and Cherim good?]

4 hours ago, kithas said:

I have never seriously used Cherrim but I think Ledian gets a massive boost. Not only by multiplying by 4 all punch damage, but by also giving it 4 times the chance of secondary effects of each punch: 40% (like 10% for each hit) of the secondary effects with the elemental punch, 80% (20% for hit) of confusing with Dizzy, 4x boost to the Atk. with Power-up and my favorite, 4 heals with Drain punch.

Well, to be completely accurate, you can’t just multiple the percent chance of a secondary effect occurring by four because of the way probability works. 
 

4 elemental punches will have a 34.39% chance of secondary effects and 4 dizzy punches would have a 59.04% chance of confusing

Wonder if the new shiny hunting method will be incorporated into this version 

Is there really a point in that? The game already has an approximate shiny rate of 1/100. (Plus the new method is kind of useless since it only offers boosted rates 3% of the time)

Does anyone know where can I find Hardy's battle theme online? The first one.

[AP what to buy first]

For me, EXP All is first. Just nice to have and nice to not grind.

Next, personally I go for Golden Items as the HM becomes available (for example, no point in getting Golden Wings at the start of the game)

Personally, I don't really care for EV training, but you can get those if you want to EV train. I recommend getting Attack and Special Attack before the defenses though, since HP and Speed are already available.
