Interceptor is not YOU the player, because Crescent is also an "Interceptor" and has died once.

I hated the puzzles lol. It's not what I play Pokemon for, I just want to get to the battles and the story and the grinding.

Snarl has uses on slower mons in some situations. Mind you less useful in this game since the AI will switch out if you debuff it too much, but you can play around that with hazards.

Funny thing is that one seems to work; I forgot that detail and tried to bullet punch a target on Psychic field and got reminded no that's wrong.

wtb Protect TM for my horrifying zombie mushroom creature Edit: come to think of it there's a lot of missing TMs: Dragon Claw Psyshock Calm Mind Ice Beam Blizzard Earthquake Protect Toxic Fireblast Thunder Double Team Rest Focus Miss Giga Impact and Hyper Beam Swords Dance Gyro Ball PuP Punch Dazzling Gleam and others I am probably forgetting. I look forward to when we get them, some of these moves would be nice to have. It is pretty challenging to not have them, but I want >.<

Nope, being used by my Sylveon.

I'd like to see some of the current crests reworked also. Glaceon's crest for example seems good on paper, until you remember the AI doesn't think like a person and will just hit you with whatever coverage move it has that will hit almost as hard as the rock or steel move it would have otherwise used. The crests that just add resistance are useless outside of taking less damage on a switch.

I keep running into this issue. I use Misty Terrain and continue to get afflicted by status like Sleep and Paralysis regardless. Is it bugged or does background terrains just automatically disable these moves? I don't get it.

Sleeping in your bed at Tesla's Villa seems to have fixed it.

I'm gonna say it. I just got to Neo East Gearen and I automatically hate it. I liked the dark bladerunner looking city better :T At least West Gearen is unchanged.

I'm not sure why but suddenly my game thinks it's daytime at 12:41am local time...I noticed prior it seemed to shift day/night randomly and then after doing a bit of time traveling for side quests the game seems to be stuck thinking it's daytime in the middle of what is actually midnight, even if I save and close the game and restart. How do I fix this? It's kind of annoying.

+1 for Electivire getting a Crest that gives it Fighting Stab/Resistences. I remember playing a ROMhack that made Electivire an Elect/Fight type and it just fit so well. Brick Break is an amazing tool to carry on your 'vire but it just doesn't hit THAT hard with no stab.

On my next playthrough I plan to abuse the Thief/Covet then Fling & Recycle thing as much as possible. Pretty tired of beating my head against assault vests without having my own.

Did this fight last night, it wasn't hard just annoying. Misty Terrain does not block the Lovely Kiss btw. I dunno if that changed in a recent update or the game is bugged, but the Gardevoir repeatedly put my Sylveon to sleep with Misty Terrain up.

Wait there was a Life Orb in the Library? I must have missed it, I never got a Life Orb...

NPCs do have random illegal moves. I just fought Bladestar Grunt Beya that had a Cofagrigus that knows Earthquake, lol.

I've been wondering why I'm now at level 80 and can't find some species and several competitive items I just can't seem to get except when my Magician Delphox borrows them from enemies for a battle...looking at you, Assault Vest, the most egregious offender of having been on NPCs for a very long time but none for me :(

This is not possible to have legitimately. Vivillion doesn't learn Substitute by Levelup, Tutor, or Breeding. Which means you'd need a TM you don't have access to.

You know it never even occurred to me that Shift battle style is in this game. This is my first playthrough and I started out on Intense mode since I was overconfident from other ROMhacks I played...it broke me after the 2nd gym leader and I went down to Normal haha. I never thought to change the battle style when I was stuck.

I relied super heavily on a Grapploct I raised to be Special Defense/HP with Bulk Up/Brick Break/Octolock/Any Other Move Here [I used Topsy Turvy for a while] and it took me several tries to get past her with my Grapploct/Delphox/Moody Octillery/Dedenne/Whiscash/Alolan Dugtrio. You NEED something with Brick Break on your team to smash through the screens, I think she sets up Aurora Veil? Otherwise her Cold Truth just hits so hard that you won't be able to compete. I imagine if you had a Hariyama with Thick Fat it'd probably chew through her team pretty easily. I had already raised Grapploct previously for using Octolock to crack open the big Rift Boss pokemon (which works AMAZING btw). Good luck! She's one of the hardest bosses imo.

Made an account just to reply to this thread. Yeah this fight is stupid with how many advantages are stacked and how restricted you are. I raised a whole team of Elec/Rock/Steel thinking I could fight for control of the terrain and then destroy him, only to realize too late that Mountain can't be changed to Cave (why? You can change Cave to Mountain...). So here's what I did instead: Steelix (Smack Down, Dig[Turned out to be useless...], Rock Tomb, Stealth Rock) Electivire (Brick Break, Ice Punch, Thunderpunch, Light Screen) A. Lapras (Perish Song, Rock Slide, Psychic, Sandstorm [turned out to be useless...]) Togedemaru (Spiky Shield, Nuzzle, Zing Zap, Fell Stinger) A. Golem (Stone Edge, Explosion, Thunderpunch, Smack Down) Ampharos (Cotton Guard, Light Screen, Discharge, Power Gem) Nuzzled the Skarmory then setup Stealth Rocks with Steelix...you can debuff once with Rock Tomb then Power Herb Dig to kill Skarm. Swanna comes out next, let Steelix die, then go to Togedemaru and commence trolling with an entire team holding Red Cards to bounce his team around into Stealth Rocks. Togedemaru can take out a couple pokemon by itself easily if played right. Used Togedemaru to paralyze then Electivire to Icepunch Dragonite in its stupid goofy face and get rid of it after some stealth rocks. I cheesed his broken Mega Pidgeot with Perish Song. Ultimately I think that's the best way to deal with him, since from reading various threads wondering why I couldn't control the field it looks like someone decided to just take away your ability to do that (which is like the main gimmick of this game...talk about lame...) so if you can't win clean and fairly you can always just troll him to death by playing the kind of way that'd get you slapped in person.
