    These are QR scans for sun and moon. Scan at least 10 per day and then you'll be able to catch a "rare" Pokémon like starters from other gens

    When you scan 10 QR codes, it gives you an "Island scan" which will spawn a rare Pokemon not normally found. The 1st Pokemon you'll get from scanning 10 QR codes is a Gen 2 Starter in Route 3. The 1st one seems to be preset to route 3 so if you just starter the game and you immediately scan, you won't be able to access it.

    You get 1 hour to catch the pokemon after the scan.

    The Pokemon will show up as a random encounter in the route it is designated at.

    Once you start, you're given 10 free QR Scans.

    You get 1 QR scan every 2 hours thereafter.

    Talonflame is flabby and sick

    Burn damage has been reduced to 1/16th the user Max HP regardless of their type. Pokemon with Heatproof take 1/32 of their Max HP as damage.

    Turn order has changed to reflect a Pokemon's ability/Speed after it Mega Evolves, Prankster will now be active immediately after mega evolving and give priority to moves. Changes to a Pokemon's Speed will be reflected on the turn it mega evolves making it move before or after the opposing Pokemon depending on its new Speed stat. Does not affect the Speed of other Pokemon on the field, ex: if rain is up and Charizard mega evolves into Mega Charizard-Y and Drought activates Swift Swimmers still have the boost.

    Rayquaza cannot mega evolve and hold a Z-Crystal at the same time, even after it uses a Z-move.

    Triple Battles and Rotation battles are no longer present in the games.

    Arceus type will change to match the Z-Crystal it is holding but Judgment will not change type to match it and will remain Normal-type. Pokemon specific Z-Crystals (i.e Decidium, Pikashunium etc) have no effect.

    Soul Dew now boosts the power of Latias's and Latios's Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks by 20%.

    Gale Wings now only works when the Pokemon is at Full HP.

    Sheer Cold no longer works on Ice-Type Pokemon and has a reduced chance to hit when used by non Ice-type Pokemon.

    Misty Terrain now blocks confusion.

    Destiny Bond has a chance to fail if used repeatedly.

    Thunder Wave is now 90% accuracy.

    Dark Void is now 50% accuracy and can only be used Darkrai.

    looks like anybody with a illegal copy of the game on their modified 2ds/3ds will have their ? shutdown completely if they ever pay this game online

    Just found out Pranksters boosted moves fail completely against Dark types

    Should this thread be closed for a new one now that the game is out?

    I don't know when I'm going to play this either, it's being shipped in tomorrow but my time is pretty limited.

    Cosign

    I don't know why they did that, I'd say so far these starters are easily the WOAT. They might be viable in battle royale but as standalone pkmn they're ? trash :(

    i pick Litten,and i was hoping i could of gotten the grass bird pokemon in a trade too because majority of the pokemon are just garbage as far stats except for Pikachu/Munchlax,and Magnemite

    can't wait for the pokebank update in january...so far im still on the first island right before before the first trial and some of these new joints are just meh to me except for the joints we all know

    I see some critics saying its too easy. Any truth to that? Is it an issue?
