If you have a question about USUM but dont want to be spoiled post here: USUM Simple Questions/Simple Answers(Spoiler Free)

So im trying to beat ultra nectrozma and BOY is it tough. I looked up a video of somone using a lvl 55 zorark and beating him with two foul plays. he sucked up 2 photon geysers because he is dark type and i have a malamar with foul play so i tought that maybye i could mimic him. i treid but for some reason I GOT HIT BY THE GEYSER. now two things that could have caused this: 1 the fact my malamar has contrary, i read the entire bulbapedia desc of contary and it didn't say anything on types. 2 the fact malamar is a psychic type, this one is a bit weird but i think it might have to do with the fact that he is a psychic type. i have no clue and now im sad

It is...
NOT!
Finally! I was so god dang angry with the Pokémon box Ruby Sapphire Pichu that could have Surf and be shiny, but couldn't actually be transfered with Surf.
Wait, this is simple answers...

TL;DR It is not locked, you can get a shiny version of a Surfing Pikachu.

The Happiny trade is only in SM. Alternatively, you can catch a Chansey in Poni Wilds and breed it while it's holding a Luck Incense.

My son and daughter got a 3DS for christmas. My son has his game all saved up. I am wondering can we put the game into another 3DS(my daughters) and let her start from the beginning without messing up my sons game?

 

[TheMonster6893]

Nope. One save per Pokemon game cartridge. Doesn't matter what 3ds you put it in. The saves are tied to the cartridge for the 3ds games and not the system.

 

[TouyaShiro]

Plus you'll screw up a couple of things by putting it in another system. Nothing major but it'll prevent you from doing certain time-based events for two days or so if the cartridge detects any time change (either from being played on another system or if you change the system clock in the 3DS settings itself).

oh ):
well, I just got to poni island so I'll try to catch one when I can.
The happiny line is my favorite.

Bouncing off of that, ^^ does the game care if I change the date or just the time of day? Not that it should effect me, but I'm curious since I just fixed my New 2DS's date.
Secondarily, what's the point of a Move Deleter in USUM? There are no HMs, so when would you need him?

 

[TouyaShiro]

@Pilup99
I think it actually does affect time-based events if you change the date.

As for your second point, well... it's probably more useless in SuMo than it is in USUM - pretty much the only purpose in the former is to troll players by trading them things with a single move. However, in USUM, it's a similar situation to Oras where you can use it to delete moves that don't exist in SuMo (such as Photon Geyser, or Mind Blown if you have it on a Smeargle, for example), thus allowing you to trade or bank these Pokémon back over to previous versions.

That and tradition, which seems to be a pretty big deal in Alola.

I got just one 3DS, a Pokémon Y digital copy, a Pokémon X digital copy and a Pokémon X physical copy.

On Nintendo Pokémon website (don't remember where), if I am not wrong, I can register only two of them in my account. What would be the best choice?

P.S.: What is that registration for?

IIRC, registering for the Global Link enables you to see current battle competitions, trade in Pokémiles, see your GTS history, and viewing your base's details in ORAS. Gen VI games can't be registered anymore, unfortunately - the site only accepts Gen VII at the moment.

Thank you. Can I still use GTS, though?

Yes, Gen VI's GTS is still online.

 

[AmethystLeslie]

All other online services are fine.
