Autumn Zephyr

It tastes like... whatever you want it to taste like? Since it's whatever you want it to be, and all that jazz? The real question is how much of it you can eat before it can no longer Transform back to being whole.

My sudden presence here might seem course, so... Wait, that doesn't count,does it? Is it too late for Lykos to answer a summons?

I'm currently running Lycanroc-Midday, Alolan Muk, Alolan Raichu, Medicham, Salazzle, and Banette, and will probably keep it that way for a bit if things work out- though I haven't changed my team since their levels were in the mid-30's, so who knows how things will play out?

"Well, Honey, it seems that we might not have to worry about whether we'd be able to pay for groceries this week after all." "Oh? And why would that be?" "That kid who saved us was also generous enough to use our services consistently, and pay in full as well. Why, they may even restore our reputation on their own!" Please tell me you've got a Pickup pokemon in your party while you're running around, at least. This endeavor of yours has got to be pretty pricey!

Outside of the time I needed them in the Adventurine Woods puzzle, I never used a Repel- this meant that I found shiny pokemon frequently, and since I'm inclined to capture those, I kinda had a head start. In terms of something actually akin to a strategy, I usually aim to capture the middles stage of three stage lines whenever possible. This makes it so that I have a head start in evolving up (in the case of level based evos), while being able to breed downward whilst working on evolving another line.

Love oasis? Are you sure it isn't just where the maractus mariachi band practices its songs in a vain attempt to overthrow Los Ludicolos Locos?

I kinda like the particles and motion and whatnot, but the poor thing looks a tad thin. Maybe it's mad because it's so malnourished? 6.5/10

...Oh, boy, EV Training. The number of hours I've spent in Ametrine Mountain fishing up horsea and remoraid to mercilessly slaughter is kinda absurd... as is the fact that only the latter seem to come up shiny for me! Yeah, uh, good luck with that!

The ultimate Magical Girl: frilly, high-fashioned crime fighter by day, rando dancin' froggo by nite? Why is it always the really, really weird roleplay characters that seem to write themselves? ...I guess we should consider this a more focused version of my usual advertising spiel, huh?

...Welp, I tried. And I was feeling kinda proud about coming up with that explanation on the fly, too... But yeah, the side that's nothing but 0's on newly caught/hatched pokemon is the one with the EVs. Unless they're both that way, in which case you got reeeeeally dang unlucky!

Not sure how much I can help with that issue, but I'll try my hand at helping anyway. IV's are inherently fixed to the individual, and thus cannot be changed in anyway. Think of them as the pokemon's natural testosterone levels (Attack), IQ (Sp. Attack), or alchohol tolerance (Hp/Sp. Defense), I guess. EV's, on the other hand, are built up by distinct effort on the pokemon's part. These are things like working out (Attack), cardio/aerobics (Speed), or studying/ problem solving (Sp. Attack). Just as someone with low testosterone that frequently works out will eventually come out stronger than someone with high levels that never bothers doing anything with them, a pokemon with low Attack Individual Values that works to maximize its Effort Values in that stat will eventually surpass one with high IVs and no EVs. Does that make sense?

Woah, woah, woah! This one came out waaaay on the early side! Is your videotaping backlog getting a bit, er, Overgrown? Alternative title: If This Azurill Likes Eating Plants So Much, Why Didn't It Do Anything In Obsidia? ...And we're starting the 'new pokemon' segment with a very minor personal opinion: I don't like lombre's new cry. Hopefully GF haven't drained the personality out of ludicolo's... On the other hand, the Swordsman has decided that kissing is for the birds- and that she's much better off Chargin' up some laser Beams! That should be somewhat helpful in a certain overwhelmingly-common Field Effect, no? I admittedly forgot that the Limber Ability existed, yet alone that buneary could have it, but at least that makes that quest a quicker one to answer. Sadly, though, Azalea's stats wound up being subpar for the most part. Guess they naturally learn Frustration for a reason, eh? And holy griggin' geez, did Maqqy really just come out with perfect IVs in both offenses?! Goodness gracious, talk about you lucky sloth bois! I thought I recognized that egg pattern... though I don't think my spheal came with solid stats or Signal Beam. Now you have a Water Type that naturally learns Ice moves, woo~! ...I always did wonder how Cain got ahold of his Alolan grimer. They're not exactly around where he's from, and nobody's allowed where we'll eventually be able to get ahold of one of our own at the moment, so... In any case, it is more fitting for him than the old Kantonian one he used to have, and isn't just spilling toxic material everywhere, so this particular rescue is much more believable to boot! Ah, yes, the Police are shouting the usual commentary that nobody ever believes, while simultaneously noting how blatantly untrue their words are! If you really had the situation under control, wouldn't that mean that you're the culprits? At least that one guy had the right idea in trying to clear the area. ...Aaaaaand, thing have officially taken a turn for the bizarre. We've got a fella with the most extreme case of Multiple Personality Disorder I have ever seen, alongside what can only be explained as an artificial Mega Evolution with the obvious drawback of lacking the sheer maneuverability than many of the actual Megas have! I mean, tangrowth never really had much room to move anyway, what with their natural access to Ingrain, stupidly top-heavy body structure, and obvious plagiarism of breloom's patent on elastic arms, but still*... The thing does have an absurd amount of bulk for this point in the game, though- Bite may not be the strongest attack in the world, especially since J-Awesome didn't have STAB with it, but geez- it dealt so little damage to something that was at -6 Defense! If that ain't a portent for things to come, I don't know what is! *Contrary to how this assessment may sound, I do actually like tangrowth a bit Wait, wait, wait- the Oval Charm got moved to being this early in the game? That's a huge quality-of-life buff if I ever saw one! Arguably makes more sense than being underwater as well, but oh well. Still, the timing's about as on point as it can get now- being obtainable at the same time as you gain the ability to free the real Daycare Couple is pretty much the most convenient you can possibly make it, outside of having them give it to you themselves! Current death toll: 6 (Unchanged from last update)

Soft resetting. Soft resetting a lot. Alternatively, using the Sandbox Mod.

Hmm, that would explain why I didn't recall. Minor, inconclusive details like that tend be drowned out in one's mind when followed up by the travesty that was the rest of that story arc... Welp.

The first few tiers are EV Reset Disks for different stats, which should give you a little bit of wriggle room in the event that you mess up while EV training. The last tier changes it up a bit: that nets you a Garchompite, TM Shadow Ball, and the Psychium-Z

What can I say? I can't make a joke or two in my reaction posts, I hardly see the point in making them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ...I am worried that the copypasta going on with the Death Count portion is triggering some people with the odd formatting errors, though. Guess I oughta use the 'Paste as plain text' thing a bit more frequently, huh?

This animal shelter of yours... It wouldn't happen to be training frogs to be phenomenal dancers like the fella you've there, would it? Anywho, here's a (late) welcome to these fair lands we call the Reborn Evolved Forums! I imagine you've got a solid enough grasp of the rules and what we all have to offer, so I'll spare you that part of the speech. Please enjoy your stay~!

Hmm, I like this idea. Guess I've got a song to post once the Postgame's board is unlocked~!

One more day, one more expansion to Ribbon's personal army ragtag band of amigos! And a good thing, too- slums are notorious for being the 'bad part of town' in a great many areas, so having all the help one can get to survive is a must! And boy, oh boy did that expansion start off strong! Maybe Wheel didn't mind the rain because of just how awesome that Sp. Defense stat is? Hopefully that trait will hang around once the Daycare becomes available. Commander's Attack wound up being pretty dang solid as well, and she got what is arguably the best Ability for her to boot (not to discredit the buff Normalize got or anything)! I'm not sure how to feel about Neco, though. That Attack stat is even better than Commander's, but I've always used the lotad line as Special Attackers. Hmm... Spoilers for later in the game, to those whom have this as their first journey: ...Wow, Samson. That was... quite the interview... Not gonna lie, I'm curious about what it is that Devon did to shut the Yureyu company down. It's not like they have competing products or anything... I definitely should know this already, though The minior seems to be staying green so far? That's a good sign, I guess. And so the Swordsman arose, voice armed and ready. And with just her battle cry, the ruffians were felled like spaghetti! Current death count: 6 (unchanged from last update)

And so, another train leaves Grandview Station... May it safely find its way in these increasingly-stabilizing lands! ...Starlight Divide hype? Or maybe a side story ala Where Love Lies? Guess we'll just have to wait and see...

To expand on WCV's answer, J-Awesome_One's most recently started playthrough is E18 from the start, he had no problem getting the overworld budew, as shown in this episode. The precise timestamp is 27:49. Is it still shameless advertising if it's for someone else's run? It just so happens that it's more entertaining to just roll with it~!
