Pokemon Ultra Moon Update 6
Poni Island ​

​

Spoiler:

Wake up, Hau has changed attitude, Gladion is a good guy, Lillie has changed her outfit?! Is this the same game?! The Aether guys now don't fight me… Gladion gives me a ride to Poni Island. Arrived in Seafolk Town. Started fishing for my final team member. Finally caught Whydah the Dhelmise.
Met up with Hapu, top tier Lillie pun, 10/10. Got Daddy Machamp in the page rider. Did everything with Hapu becoming Kahuna. Went to Exeggutor island. Got the flute. Went through Vast Poni Canyon. Team Skull…woo ☹. Plumeria gives happy speech. This cavern is hard. Especially trying to grind a new pokemon. Lillie came in the nick of time to heal me. Did the trial in Vast Poni Canyon. Another totem pokemon, another struggle. Finally beat Totem Kommo-o. Another trial bites the dust. Story. Cool cut scene. Necrozma fight. Won. I LOOK LIKE THE ULTRA RECON SQUAD! Where's my moustache?! Go to Ultra Necrozma. Got smashed. Tried Again. Won the 2nd time. Got a sweet gift!
Went back to Seafolk Town, took on Mina's Trial, defeated Mina, then went to Ilima, won, then to Mallow & Mina, won, Kiawe, won, hiker, won, Sophocles didn't even battle , fun little bit with Guzma & Hau, fought my role model Nanu, FINAL TOTEM POKEMON!!!
Won totem Ribonbee pretty easily, healed, went back Exeggutor Island, took on Kahuna Hapu. Starboy made short work of Golurk, before eating a Z-Powered Mudsdale's Z move. Whydah also fell to Mudsdale, before Lei started Petal Dancing. She took out Mudsdale and Gastrodon, before falling to Flygon's Earth Power. Sent out Grace to finish the job and finish little Hapu. Final Grand Trial complete.
Next up: The Finale.

Team REVIEW

NapNap The Hypno @ Quick Claw
Level 55/Hardy/Insomnia/Female
Psychic
Shadow Ball
Focus Blast
Nasty Plot
Thoughts: Was part of the reason early trials were such an issue, as it struggled defensively. However made up for this, wiping the floor with Hau and being the MVP in the hardest fight of the game for me against Molayne. The change from midpowered physical attacker to Special Set Up Sweeper helped it massively.
Rank:2/6

Grace The Dewgong @ Choice Specs
Level 55/Bashful/Thick Fat/Female
Brine
Ice Beam
Signal Beam
Aqua Jet
Thoughts: One of the most reliable team members I had. Was consistent, evolved at the right time, had a few big moments, but was also a good team player. If only it learned a better water move than Brine on the special side. Would still recommend the most out of this team.
Rank:1/6

Lei The Comfey @ Miracle Seed
Level 54/Hardy/Flower Veil/Female
Petal Dance
Dazzling Gleam
Floral Healing
U-Turn
Thoughts: Did will in the mid game section, started to show it short comings during the last 2/3 trials, was next to useless in the league. Sadly its a Pokémon built for double battles in game that does not have too many.
Rank:4/6

Starboy the Clefable @ Expert Belt
Level 56/Docile/Magic Guard/Male
Dazzling Gleam
Calm Mind
Ice Beam
Thunder Bolt
Thoughts: A decent Elite 4 run does not absolve the fact this pokemon struggled throughout the game. I will partially take the blame as its my fault it did not learn Moonblast naturally. However it struggled as a Clefairy. If you can afford to have a pokemon just leeching EXP from the rest of your team for a prolonged period of time, you will fair better than I did.
Rank:6/6

Slurpee the Minior @ N/A
Level 55/Adamant/Shields Up/Genderless
Rock Slide
Bulldoze
Acrobatics
Stealth Rock
Thoughts: I honestly thought this was going to be a stupid gimmick mon, and it is not. Good Moveset, I honestly do not understand how you can run it with only 4 moves, as I passed up on Shell Smash for coverage and entry hazards. Negatives: the speed not being the same for both forms. I understand the why, however it is annoying when you would get the KO if you went first and the bulk does not quite make up the difference. Also Earthquake is a post game TM and would of been helpful, as Bulldoze does not cut it after a point.
Rank:3/6

Whydah the Dhelmise @ Muscle Band
Level 54/Naughty/Steelworker/Genderless
Anchor Shot
Energy Ball
Phantom Force
Toxic
Thoughts: The most disappointing to me as I have wanted to use Dhelmise for a while. But too many weaknesses, not enough special bulk to take a hit, and lack of Physical STAB hurts it. Also available far too late in game, especially when better options have come and gone.
Rank:5/6

I can't believe I'm doing this , but can you reroll Mence ? He's not obtainable until postgame (or too late to have any fun with if they have changed it slightly).

Yep yep! all good

Sableye for your reroll

And since I have the time, ill be putting my first Platinum post since im like...5 gyms in

Platinum Update #1

Spoiler:

Believe it or not, I only have 3 members. I can't get my next 3 members until I beat Crasher Wake, Swablu is past the psyducks, I cant get Magnemite until I get surf which I get after Crasher. And Absol is suuuuper up top on Mt Coronet. For the first 2 gyms I plunged through them with an overly leveled Bibarel. Before getting my Gible, around after the 4th gym I got the Good Rod and got me my Remoraid, which quickly became an Octillery. With 3 members under my belt, I beat my way to Crasher and beat him. So far this has been my toughest game out of the ones I've done in this ultimate Run. Crystal has been the second so far with that atrocious Red battle. But either way I'm getting there ans trucking through.

Can I ask a question about this challenge?...Seeing as I'm playing Let's Go, is it okay to catch Pokemon other than my randomized team for EXP (so long as I send them to the Professor without using them)? Or am I obliged to get all my EXP from trainers?

Catching is grinding so its allowed :) Just don't use no other Pokémon in your battles.

Claudius (Male) Lvl 19

Strixium (Male) Lvl 17

Plot

Spoiler:

The first gym wasn't as hard when I grinded Bidoof up to Bibarel and got Water Gun at level 15. I glided along the road up to the grass gym and DESTROYED them with both hoothoot and Staravia. Pacharisu has Pick up so he won't be used in battle tooooo much except for the Water gym. Other than that, it's been easy and I still love Platinum.

Plot

Spoiler:

This is a big jump since my last update and it's because I just kept playing more and more without realizing I should post here. But that just means less from me I guess

I got Gligar underneath the Cycling Road and continued my way to the next gym. I was sorta worried about this gym, but Gligar really took it home with some dark moves.
I got Eevee but I didn't want them to miss any ice moves since I wouldn't be able to evolve them for a LOOOONG time. So I put them in the day care along with my starter Piplup for giggles.
Fighting gym exploded by my 3 flying types and several type advantages.
Water gym was actually really easy with Pachirisu, who proved more tanky then I though he would be.
I beat up a bunch of Galactic people for fun/money.
Byron was also way easier than expected. Gliscor was really helpful because of Earthquake and Bibarel had Surf, which wasn't ideal but.... ah well.
More Galactic beat em ups.
FINALLY evolved Eevee into Glaceon and made my way to the 7th gym. This was sorta difficult because I didn't have any good plans other than Close Combat Staraptor. I did give Glaceon Shadow Ball, because their Special Attack is really good for where I am at. I used a lot of healing stuff, but I got it in one try.

Annnnnndddd that's all. My next update will be about the last gym, finishing off Galactic, and my journey to the E4.

Yeet.
