    Yes. Hammer Arm is boosted by Iron Fist.

    During the main story, I got a low level Golett with Iron Fist and Adamant nature. A week ago, i was just catching a bunch of ghost Pokémon from all over the region. I got 3 more Iron Fist and Adamant nature Golett so that is 4 Golurk at Level 100. I'm attached to the first one I named Iron Giant. I can't decide if I should have it know Hammer Arm or Drain Punch.

    I like Hammer Arm for it's power but Drain Punch restores Golurk HP by half the damage Drain Punch delivered to the other Pokémon.

    I wouldn’t mind helping out with most of these, although I’d need the Appletun and obviously Zamazenta back :p  I’ve been breeding a small supply of exclusives both Shield and ones I got from other Sword users to hand out. Are you still looking?

    Personally I’m still looking for Rhyperior (got a Rhydo with assault vest ready), Mawile and Zacian. Want to finish that Dex so I can get that Shiny Charm. :) 

    I got one or two through raiding, wouldn’t mind trading one to you if you’re still looking. Just send me anything you need to get rid of in return.

    I managed to get another fossil last night for Arctovish. But yeah, I'm still looking for the rest of them.

    I do have a Mawile, and I could certainly help out with evolving your Rhydon. My Zacian, I'd likewise need back.

    How come Zamazenta doesn't learn King's Shield? It's a legendary icon of kings, it's whole shtick is wearing a shield, but it doesn't learn King's Shield. Damn ghosts and their hoarding.

    Ah, I'm only a dozen Pokémon away from completing my Pokédex in Shield! I mainly just need a bunch of the Sword exclusives if anyone can help.

    I'd be willing to help if you can help me with getting Shield exclusives. PM me a list so I can start breeding them for you. I'll PM back with mine.

    I heard the announcer from Killer Instinct as I read this. RECORD BREAKER!!!

    I had a dream last night, I might have seen the next main series Pokémon game(s).

    It wasn't something like Sun/Moon becoming UltraSun/UltraMoon, it was more like Black/White and Black2/White2.

    Sword2 and Shield2? We'll see.

    I found the easiest 5 star raid ever. And it was kinda hilarious. Shedinja starts out the fight with the biggest shield I've seen any dynamax Pokemon have. But I figure, a couple max flares and I'll break through it pretty fast... All it took was one. It bypassed the shield and since even dynamaxed it only has 1hp, the attack knocked it out.

    You attacked a defenseless dynamaxed Shedinja?! (throws a pokéball) Giratina! Use Phantom Force!

    Honestly though, I hope I encounter a dynamax Shedinja. Though I doubt I'll ever use it since certain weather effects can knock it out.

    Ugh. All pokemoned out. Playing Ultra Moon, my Rowlet is a Dartrix. Got over 50 Pokemon now. Trying to pick my team to go beat up Olivia. Through a quirk of wonder trade I somehow ended up with a lvl 100 shiny Deoyxs. Thank you kind person, my daughter is very happy with it. Found two female Salandits. I'm told they're rare. Idk which island totem was worse? That awful Aquapider or the ever healing lurantis?

    Though gen 6 and 7 are good games, I felt bored playing them. I wasn't expecting much from LGP/LGE but they were more fun than those others. Except for OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire, those games RULE!

    Anyone know if Deoxys in OR/AS can be caught as a shiny?

    Yeah Female Salandits are hard to find. But even harder for a Modest nature Salandits.

    Can't say because when I play, I increase the level of my team that would make them overpowered.

    It's been a month and I'm still playing Sword. Very much one of my favorite generations.

    It is shiny locked, so no, it cannot be shiny.

    Would anyone be interested in trading then trading back my Dusclops so it can evolve? Yes I know you can apparently catch Dusknoir in the wild, but I haven't seen them yet and would just like to evolve my Dusclops for some reason.

    Almost done with Rainbow Rocket! Anyone else really feel like Pokemon's alternate dimensions aren't really used well. I wish they'd dive deeper into the parallel universe concept, or just not include it at all.

    I, too, wish they'd dive deeper into it (something tells me the gen4 remakes will add a bit) but from what I played, it did an adequate job.


    I do wish the legendary pokemon locations in the Ultra Wormholes were more....detailed? Like have the kimono girl shrines at the Johto ones, extra lava for Groudon, Heatran and whatnot. That would've added some extra cool sauce to it all.
