well that's…fun
I'm waiting for my Mareep and a few other Pokémon to get EV trained in the Poké Pelago islands…I might take the Mareep out and just train on an ally chain since I think there are Special Attack Pokémon that don't call any other species to them…

the Poké Pelago is useful because, like, if a Pichu calls in a Happiny, for example, I have to either run away or mess up the EVs...but it also takes forever I just fought a few battles and put the game away I got beaten (100% due to luck but that's how the opponent's entire team functioned so...) by a team of Jolteon, Dedenne, Togedemaru, and Charjabug (other two Pokémon on the team were Pikachu and Emolga) granted, my Charizard flinched and then was fully paralyzed twice in a row, and if he'd just managed to use Earthquake one of those turns I'd have killed Togedemaru; Charjabug was doing next to no damage, so I would have survived and killed it with Rock Tomb to win the battle oh well

makes sense
I don't like to level things in Poké Pelago just in case they learn moves I don't want but it sounds like a pretty helpful feature

Indeed. And it was also pretty helpful getting Kihawahine up to speed after I caught her

when I play through the games I'm underleveled 100% of the time because I'm too lazy to grind but also too lazy to wait for Poké Pelago
makes Cyrus…interesting

my shiny Ampharos and Mimikyu are up to level 85 and 77 respectively
I wish Alola had better places to grind (and more than one Lucky Egg)

Yeah more grinding grounds would be very helpful. God I can't tell you how long I was in poni canyon just grinding xD

update: caught shiny Granbull
update 2: level 93 and 85; I'm going to go back to breeding for the other Pokémon for the Trick Room teams
but unfortunately it's going to be very difficult to get a good Porygon2…considering it can only be bred with Ditto
maybe I'll try SOS chaining Dittos

someone on the GTS sent me a 2IV plus 0 speed Porygon, but it's Bold (I want Relaxed and would take Sassy)…
if I have no luck with Dittos then I'll accept Bold, level it up, and Hyper Train it (since I got it from trade it should level a little faster too) but that's so much work
and yeah shiny Granbull is kind of ugly (it's a funny shade of yellow) but it's still nice to find a shiny…I named her Gumby because my friend was texting me about someone she calls Gumby right as the Granbull appeared…
in addition to Porygon for Porygon2 I want to breed min speed Banette, Reuniclus, Goodra, Comfey, and Mudsdale
I have a couple Comfeys but they're garbage so breeding will be a hassle
if I ask for Mudbray a couple times on the GTS I should get a decent one for breeding
Goomy…people keep sending me Jolly Goomy…is Jolly Goodra (fast physical attacker) really that much of a thing!?

I haven't really gotten a whole lot of shinies off WT recently. I've only gotten 3 in Sun, two of them are mine.

I've gotten a few shinies I don't trust from Wondertrade in Sun but I haven't been using it much since WTW ended
I've hatched a bunch of shinies, but I have the shiny charm, so that's to be expected

Dude I haven't he shiny charm in alpha sapphire and I hardly got any shinies :/ aw I have incredible luck with shinies in the first place…good luck! are there any specific shinies you really like? (whether you'd hunt them or not) I'd say my favorite shiny is probably Liepard; I really like the terracotta color for it…there are a lot I like though

I got most of my favs back in gen 4. I personally was a big fan of shiny ponyta. I also got shiny furfrou! I think it looks better than the original, the highlights in the fur styles stand out more on the black fur than the white fur

I finally managed to chain a shiny Ponyta in Pearl but I haven't evolved him yet (I like the blue more than the silver, but I do like shiny Rapidash too) don't have a shiny Furfrou but it is a really good shiny
