Wait, you can catch things other than Magikarp with the rod? I finally decided "to hell with fishing" when casting my line in Poni Canyon somehow wrangled up a level 30-something Magikarp that knew flail.

Also I just wish to confirm:

Spoiler: continuing the previous spoiler discussion (click to show/hide)

If I were to simply knock Tapu Koko out, it would reappear if I returned to the shrine? And if I knock it out a second time, it will reappear after defeating the E4 again?

On a slightly different note, would anyone be interested in seeing my E4-beating team? You would be able to point out just how bad it is

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Yes I have done so myself to syncro one for a friend.  I can confirm personally that you can refight them.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

My specific concern is that Tapu Koko will reappear at least once without refighting the E4. Because they were quite tough, and I would need to do some serious grinding before I fought them again.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Yeah it'll reappear immediately after the story-fight with it. The Elite 4 challenge is only needed if you knock it out a second time. To challenge any of the Tapus to a battle you just need to go to their shrine and interact with the totem in it.

[Greiger]

Fair nuf.  You'll probably be good then.  If not, your current team is probably more capable of beating the E4 now than they were the first time thanks to those wonderful execution points and all.

Spoiler: champion (click to show/hide)

Hell the champion fight is likely to be easier than the first time. It's randomized who you fight after the first, and professor dudebro is the strongest of them.

^^ And then there's what he said.

Isn't the second time guaranteed to be Hau, then random after that?

For me, I had:

Hau, Hau, Gladion, Gladion, Gladion, Molayne.

Haven't done the league more than that though.

RoosterGod captured! Won't be adding it to my main team but I'm glad to get it without an E4 rematch.

I want to smack whichever genius decided that electric types should have blanket immunity to paralysis. It's as though every single one of them has Limber in addition to whatever abilities they already have.

[Akura]

The only Electric-type with Limber is Stunfisk.

PRE-EDIT: Okay, just looked it up, Electric-types are immune to paralysis. WTF. Not all paralysis is caused by electricity. Stun Spore is an allergic reaction, and Body Slam/Bounce presumably causes spine injury.

[Reudh]

Who needs a spine when you have ELECTRIC POWA?

[Sirus]

Still. Giving electric types blanket immunity to Thunder Wave would make more sense while still allowing other sources of paralysis to work. I mean, grass types are immune to powder and spore moves but still vulnerable to other sources of status effects.

[Akura]

I agree, it's ridiculous. I can understand immunity to Electric-type paralysis effects(even Tri-Attack though it's Normal-type), but not other types of paralysis.

I had a thought today, what happens if you rematch the Elite Four and lose the Champion battle? You're defending your title, so if you lose, are you required to fight the person who beat you the next time you go through the E4 to regain it?

Spoiler: Started the postgame quest. (click to show/hide)

Got Nihilego and both of the steroid mosquitoes. Wicke's report on Nihilego's neurotoxin(which Lusamine is severely poisoned with) makes it sound like a hell of an aphrodisiac.

I just spent half an hour? or more? chaining dittos to get one with good IVs. It just so happened that the one I was going to break the chain for had it's HA, and as I was whittling it down (stupidly I sent out parasect, so it impostered itself an immunity to spore and access to leech life) I accidentally... ran away.... @_@ At least I worked out some of the kinks with my set up so the next one will be easier.

I'm sick of seeing Luvdisc. Trying to fish up a Corsola - two actually, I caught a Corsola already, now I'm trying to draw in Mareanie - but I either get "Nothing seems to be biting" after 1-3 seconds, junk items, or Luvdisc.

I'm fishing the spot on Route 9, Corsola appears 5% of the time there. The only other place is the ocean near Kukui's lab, which are 1%.

They're 20% if the rock is bubbling. Near Kukui's lab, you can paddle half a screen to the left to route 1 to reset the rock. You still have to deal with a fair share of magikarp, but it's way faster. This holds true for most of the stupidly rare fish mons, though it's less convenient in some areas than others.

[Sirus]

But getting good IVs is entirely random, right? As in, it's possible to spend an hour or more chaining a Pokemon only to find out that its stats are terrible?

It doesn't seem worth the time to me...

[Akura]

Yeah, there's no way to tell if it has good IVs until after you catch it... Unlike ORAS where there it's displayed whether or not a Pokemon on the map has 1-3 guaranteed perfect IVs. I figure the best thing you can do is get a Ditto to Lv.100, use Hyper Training to max its IVs, then breed the slime with anything you can.

[Ultimuh]

Or maybe transfer a perfect IV Ditto from an earlier version, once the Bank supports Sun/Moon.

Hyper Training IVs don't get passed on. The original IVs are still stored by the game for determining Breeding results and Hidden Power

[Culise]

Aye, Bank is indeed likely to be the best option unless you want to take a spin at chaining and checking for a while.  Given that Bank support is supposed to be coming in January, it's not too much longer.
