I never finished the Mosley/Lost Camp sidequest, so I don't know the answer to your first question. I'm sorry.

You should complete all the Neo Gearen Help Quests and the Inkay farm quest (at Yui's Ranch). Then go to Honec Woods and dive under water and continue on. You'll be in for a surprise. Heh.

Done the first two, and have gone to two dive spots (in the Wetlands base) and the shore.  The rest will follow eventually

"Who needs Trainers when you've got KNIVES?!

...

"I'm... all out of HP knives."

Seriously, though, between this scene and the Throat Chop Move Tutor, I can't help but wonder if someone on the dev. team has had some sort of bad encounter with corsola at some point. Hmm...

Also, those security magneton need to friggin' chill. Definitely not a fan of getting nuked into oblivion every other round, ya know?

I wish I had known this during the Q&A thread, since that would have been a good ask.

No kidding.  Those thing completely took me off guard by one-shotting (or close to) my two opening mons.  I honestly had a better time with Ren/Aelita's teams.  I looked on the 100% guide to maybe see if it mentioned what they were holding and was shocked to see it written they "aren't too tough".......then I remembered the guide was written with Normal in mind, not Intense.   They must have really gotten buffed. 

It probably didn't help that my team was a tad mismashed since I was trying to get the last few to level 85 and didn't expect to run into anything THAT tough before coming across a PC again.

Hey, I won another round of 'accidentally beat up your friends while under the enemy's influence'.  Not glass factory, but definitely same theme of friendly fire.

I... didn't think to ask until after it closed, personally. Whoops.

I play Normal, and the only time a magnedrone didn't wipe the floor with my team was the battle where one had the misfortune of being paired with a golurk. Whichever Garufan engineer thought that "just let them OHKO each other to give invaders a fighting chance" was a good idea really ought to have been demoted...

That said, they certainly wouldn't be a problem if you happened to have access to powerful Ground moves of your own. Since I didn't (and admittedly still don't) have a single Ground Type on my rotation... the results speak for themselves.

So, uh, that was an instance where it's in the player's best interest to lose. Granted, there's really only a couple of Karma points on the line, and we're still not quite sure significant those will wind up being, but still... It does result in the fight wielding the single most malicious use to the Telepathy Ability I have ever seen, which wasn't exactly a nice discovery given the situation. Between that and its Crest, that dang alien stayed on the field far longer than it had any right to...

Probably at least going to go to the mainland before continuing the story

Also, I'm guessing it's about time I have to decide whether to stick with V11 and do some post-episode stuff or to go straight into V12's story.

So now Konami owes Dragon Maid's author and The Pokemon Company royalties for their new Dragon Maid yugioh archetype?!

In all seriousness, I can't believe it's a thing but I'll probably like it anyway. @Wolfox @Chimpnology

It seems like an interesting archetype if anything. But can we also get a Fiend Butlers Archetype? 

no joke i still have the image of "theyre not real people theyre maids" saved on my phone from back when i played in v11, because yes its the fucking best line the game has delivered.

It all returns to nothing~

I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down~
 

Almost to Souta, so I'll be caught up to where I stopped my first playthrough soon

Still mad there wasn't a shot of Melia looking at the ocean.  That would have made a better shot for the second verse

*never did much

so many mistakes when I type this late

The bronzong's less about immediate threat, and more about the constant reminder that this tanky bell can very, very easily set Trick Room back up the moment it times out, making your break from that madness cut that much shorter. That said... metagross' immediate danger is certainly worth paying more attention to if the TR is freshly established, seeing as it's a bloody pseudo and bronzong itself is a bit lacking in offensive presence... But I don't think the AI in general is capable of reading those sorts of Doubles situations yet.

The Gem does get used up for the first attack- that's not the issue. The issue is that the Gem only adds +30% damage, while the no-item bonus on Acrobatics is a flat double (+100%). There's a sizable enough gap in numbers there to make the assumption I did, I believe.

If it actually used TR when something else was on the field, it would have definitely been a bigger thread.  Sadly for it, it didn't use it in any match (much less the final one).  Oranguru just wouldn't faint until almost the end, so like in V9 it essentially turned from a 2-on-2 match to  a 1-on-1 match.

Oh, I misunderstood what you meant in the post before.  Another case of the A.I. not seeing the bigger picture/ the non-immediate effects.  Can't type or read as well this late apparently.  

Oh yeah, I still gotta read this manga. Though, it does seem a bit odd that they're all winding down in such close proximity of each other despite starting so far apart...

Many are kind of worried that ZUN is backing out of the the manga field, myself include, becuase of the close concision.  Maybe a new one will be announced soon, possibly even a new 'Three Fairies of Light' manga since this is the 4th one? 

I think a recent interview had him express interest in a sequel to Wild and Horned Hermit, so maybe that's in the cards.  WaHH was certain a good one in terms of fleshing out characters, especially Sanae.  I hope at least something is announced soon.

With old games coming to Steam and new fangames coming to Switch, maybe Zun will be branching out?  Pure speculation on my part here.  Can't wait for Fantasy Maiden Wars next month.......even without an English patch

Plus Iccile Plate.  It only took about about half her team, but it had to be revived after Mega Vena took it out. 

Scrafty took out Ferrowthorn after a DD'cd Hi Jump Kick.  Her Whimsicott surprisingly took out two of my team because of a lucky Grasswhistle while I set up Toxic Spikes, and her Ludicolo was still outsped almost(?) everything I brought even after A-Ninetales took away it's rain.

You were still being outsped? That's odd, since ludicolo only has 70 base Speed. Even with max Speed EVs, IVs, and a Timid Nature, it shouldn't be able to outpace most of the game. Unless it was also Choice Scarfed, but that seems like a poor choice when she's already using Swift Swim from the get-go...

I think the hail had stopped at that point but the rain never came back.  Maybe it still counted as raining because the field does it by default?  I don't even remember for sure what it managed to outspeed now, since the actual fight was two hours ago, but it was more than one mon. 

Either way, the fight definitely reminded me of how tanky Mega Venasaur is.  Even with all those field/item/STAB boosts mentioned, Vanilluxe still only took it down to about half before the field healed it.  All that bluk + Thick Fat really makes that mon survivable.
