I think I've noticed a difference in the rate of how fast a Pokemon becomes "full" from eating beans based on color; getting full faster means less overall affection gain. But I could be wrong on that.

[Reudh]

Better beans consume less fullness and provide more hearts. That's about it, really. Similar to high quality Pokepuffs in X/Y, pokeblocks in RSE, etc.

Also, Salazzle isn't the be all and end all. It's not really set up to take advantage of its own ability; it's just too fragile. You sneeze a magnitude 4 in its direction and down it goes.

I'm starting to see Mimikyuu sets come up. They're really frustrating to fight, because they have that one guaranteed set-up turn. Some run Bulk Up for more defense, some run Swords Dance. A 252+ +2 LO Mimikyuu Shadow Sneak can 2HKO most pokemon weak to ghost or fairy.

[Akura]

Fake Out can apparently ruin Mimikyuu, since the flinch effect still hits.

So, has anyone tried out Toxapex yet?

I can't be alone in realizing how absurd this thing is right?

Edit: Just found out that knock off still removes Mimikyu's item even if it does no damage.

[Akura]

Since it wasn't until I woke up a few minutes ago that I realized that Fake Out doesn't hit Mimikyuu under normal circumstances(due to being Normal), does anyone know if Fling with a King's Rock/Razor Fang will guarantee a flinch even if it doesn't deal damage?

I believe it will work, but I'm not sure why you'd want to do that other than for the lulz.

[Reudh]

I wonder if Infiltrator mons can bypass Mimikyuu's Disguise? Crobat would be a handy check.

[Akura]

According to Bulbapedia, no. Mold Breaker(and it's variants), as well as the signature moves of SuMo's title Pokemon, do bypass it. But if you're going to Crobat it, Confuse Ray works, and confusion damage breaks it.

Team Rocket complaining about these new teams.

I lost it at the ending. That was perfect.

[Rolan7]

Yes haha, thank you for sharing that!

Team Rocket complaining about these new teams.

Normally I don't care for game-based live-acted fan skits such as these but I gotta give this a: 100% TWO THUMBS WAY-WAY UP(ON FIRE MODE!)
I would love to see a new generation bring back Team Rocket as the primary villains.

[Akura]

Walking through my Festival Square, I see a player named MARISA, with a Chinese region code(CHS, though her personal text says Japan).

...Should I be worried about my books?

I encountered the first of the new "Ultra Beasts" just now, in that Pokemon Conservatory.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I must have reset the game nearly a dozen times, trying to inflict status ailments and knocking the thing's HP down low enough to try to capture without accidentally killing it (Mudbray kept oneshotting it and he was the only super-effective attacker I had in my party at the time). Eventually I managed to knock it down into the red, still unafflicted but I had to try my luck. Entered the pokeball menu, selected an Ultra Ball, tried to toss it...

yeah. Stupid me I guess.

I'm progressing quite slowly through the game, but that's normal for me. I keep trying to find rare pokemon that I missed, or messing around on Pelago, or trying to train up some alternate team members, stuff like that.

[Akura]

For those still bothering with ORAS, you can get Meloetta via Mystery Gift->Internet. Comes with Quick Attack, Confusion, and Round, and is holding a PP Max.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You can get Relic Song for it(is it bad I want to refer to Meloetta as "she", despite being genderless?) by going to the Crooners' Cafe in Mauville City, from the same guy who teaches Keldeo Secret Sword.

Meleotta will revert to Aria Forme at the end of battle, so you can't play with the Pirouette Forme in the Pokemon-amie. For those who do use the Pokemon-amie, Meloetta likes being pet on the gem-thingy on its face, but hates being pet on that headset-looking thing.
