Okay, I'm making my way to Mallow's trial in Lush Jungle. I've recently added Courage the Wimpod to my arsenal, but it took a few attempts to catch him, as only on the third try did I realize I could surf and loop around to the other side and keep him from dashing into his little cavern. One Quick Ball = a new friend. Although his nature will severely limit the usage of any Special moves (Impish), I gave him Scald and Hidden Power (Psychic) just to tide him over until I either evolve him or get him better moves. Either way, I'm working on leveling him up to the same level as the others. I also boxed Bazooka the newly evolved Toucannon, as he wasn't really resonating well with me. The other big piece of news is that my Meowzma has finally evolved into Incineroar and learned Darkest Lariat. Since I'm trying to level up Courage a bit, I've decided to try (keyword: TRY) to see if I can fish up a Feebas so I can complete that odd job I agreed to. Mostly only using the bubbling places, as that has the best chance. Sadly, all I've gotten out of those spots are... MAGIKARP!!! I swear, I'll make hundreds of Filet-O-Fish sandwiches out of them if they keep ruining my Feebas hunt! Well, at least when I get items instead, they're good ones. I've actually netted 2 Pearl Strings, 5 Heart Scales, and even 2 Bottle Caps, along with the normal Pearls and Big Pearls. Now... if only that kind of luck would transfer into my attempt to catch Feebas then I can finally knock that off my to-do list. I've also decided to keep Violet the Fomantis at least until after she evolves, but I still have a 5 levels to go on her, and I need it to be daytime (as I'm playing Moon right now), so that'll take some time. But so far my team is shaping up well. This is what I've got so far:
Incineroar (Meowzma, Male, 34)
Lycanroc Midnight (Sveta, Female, 30)
Charjabug (Sparkplug, Male, 29)
Fomantis (Violet, Female, 29)
Wimpod (Courage, Male, 22)
I've also made more progress in Sun. I'm on the second island, battled and beat both Hau and Gladion (god, I love both of their battle music), and started to prepare for Lana's trial. Late in the trial, Silverbolt the Rockruff evolved in Lycanroc Midday and gained Accelrock, followed by Brick Break, to give him a nice range of moves for now. The trial itself was a dozy for me, but Mero the Brionne won the day with a combination of Hidden Power (Grass) and Disarming Voice, but she was knocked down to about 1/3rd health by the time the trial had ended. But she championed the day, as she was my only Pokemon that resists Water (though I had KO Joe the Crabrawler and Munchie the Snorlax as backup, and no WAY would I put my newly evolved Silverbolt within harms range like that). Started to do some fishing in order to hunt down that Feebas while training up a Gastly to become Haunter (both for data and for something else, but I won't say what to avoid spoilers). I'm almost tempted to ask the community if they'd be willing to trade a Feebas egg, but I've got nothing truly worthwhile in exchange right now, so back to fishing for me. When I was done with that, I pounded some sense into Team Numbskull... I mean Team Skull, then took on the Battle Royal. Surprisingly, both Hau and myself ganged up on Gladion, burning Null in the process, allowing me to take him down. I probably would used Mero to go after Rockruff, but anyone who has played this far knows that Rockruff likes using Protect a lot, so that would be just wasted attacks, so it's best to go after the tougher target. Now I'm taking a break before resuming. My team is as followed:
Brionne (Mero, Female, 29)
Lycanrock Midday (Silverbolt, Male, 26)
Crabrawler (KO Joe, Male, 24)
Incineroar (Meowzma, Male, 34)
Lycanroc Midnight (Sveta, Female, 30)
Charjabug (Sparkplug, Male, 29)
Fomantis (Violet, Female, 29)
Wimpod (Courage, Male, 22)
