[Dark pulse for side quest]

Thank you everyone. I'll try your suggestions

[Dark pulse for side quest]

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to get a mon with dark pulse before the 10th gym. I know the TM is in Darchlight Woods, but I can't go get it since I wanted to complete all the available sidequests before  getting locked in that part of the story. I know weavile can learn it, and alolan meowth, but I'm not sure how to get the razor claw for weavile and I can't find meowth anywhere. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

Hi everyone!

 

As the topic says, I was wondering when/if/where the power items (lens and stuff), the destiny knot, and ditto are available in game. I'm playing for the first time as a mono-flying type run (since I've played reborn and rejuvenation several times) since I thought doduo would suck (I'm happy to say that it's actually amazing) and wanted more of a challenge. I'm about to battle Emily (the electric gym leader). Her type itself is bad enough, but some of the more integral pokemon to the team have some horrible EVs and IVs and I suspect that the game should be using competitive teams soon, so I'd like to produce a relatively decent team to minimize my despair. 

 

So as to not ruin the plot for me, if anything is available after Emily, which it likely is, could you just give a general location (e.g say ditto is after gym 6 or something). Thanks again!
