    That's pretty funny.

    I liked Marnie and Yell joining me as a posse near the end of the main story but to be honest the character didn't thrill me too much. Made me think of a bunch of other stoic girl characters. A bit of a downgrade from Lillie who I find to be a fairly charming character. I think Leon was my favorite of the new bunch.

    Moon/Ultra Moon benefited in characterization from the dialogue. I wish S/S had some more character moments along with longer stretches of adventure.

    The Unova Cap Pikachu event code is: P1KABESTW1SH

    And the code for the Kalos Cap Pikachu was intended to be revealed next week but fans guessed it early, so it is also available: KAL0SP1KA

    YO THE FINAL LEGENDARY POKEMON GOT LEAKED.

    Ice and Ghost type respectively
    [​IMG]

    I fucking love the combined forms haha

    Edit:

    Dex info and abilities.

    #896: Glastrier Wild Horse Pokémon

    Glastrier emits intense cold from its hooves. It's also a belligerent Pokémon—anything it wants, it takes by force.

    Glastrier has tremendous physical strength, and the mask of ice covering its face is 100 times harder than diamond.

    Ability: Chilling Neigh When the Pokémon knocks out a target, it utters a chilling neigh, which boosts its Attack stat.



    #897: Spectrier (レイスポス) Wild Horse Pokémon

    It probes its surroundings with all its senses save one—it doesn't use its sense of sight. Spectrier's kicks are said to separate soul from body.

    As it dashes through the night, Spectrier absorbs the life-force of sleeping creatures. It craves silence and solitude.

    Ability: Grim Neigh When the Pokémon knocks out a target, it utters a terrifying neigh, which boosts its Sp. Atk stat.





    Calyrex is known in legend as a king that ruled over Galar in ancient times. It has the power to cause hearts to mend and plants to spring forth. Ability: Unnerve

    #898: Calyrex King Pokémon

    Calyrex is a merciful Pokémon, capable of providing healing and blessings. It reigned over the Galar region in times of yore.


    898-1: Calyrex (Ice Rider) High King Pokémon

    According to lore, this Pokémon showed no mercy to those who got in its way, yet it would heal its opponents' wounds after battle.
    t's said that this Pokémon once moved a large forest—and all the Pokémon living there—to a new location overnight. Ability: Unnerve + Chilling Neigh (combined)



    #898-2: Calyrex (Shadow Rider) High King Pokémon

    It's said that Calyrex and a Pokémon that had bonded with it ran all across the Galar region to bring green to the wastelands.

    Legend says that by using its power to see all events from past to future, this Pokémon saved the creatures of a forest from a meteorite strike.
    Ability: Unnerve + Spectrier's Grim (combined)

    Edit:

    Regi's abilities

    Regieleki Ability: Transistor Powers up Electric-type moves.
    Regidrago Ability: Dragon's Maw Powers up Dragon-type moves.

    *bypasses any spoilers*
    So to anyone that is playing Pokemon Go. Is it not registering your adventure sync progress after the latest update? It isn't working for my brother and I, which is very weird considering how I'm a friggin cart pusher! I went into settings and everything, too!

    Nope, not working for me as well. I just needed one more candy to evolve Swablu too. Had to earn that last one with the app open.

    I love Calyrex, I didn't get its design much when it was revealed. But now its one of my favourite legendaries.

    Still not that far into the Crown Tundra, but I'm loving it so far.
    So I'm at the part with Calyrex when you have to grow carrots and currently deciding which steed to grab since I'm betting you can't get both.

    Also, side note, the legendaries inside the dynamax adventures are not shinylocked so I plan on having one of my games being a shiny hunting project while I catch the standard legends in the other.
    Must be further in than when I found it. I wasn't a noteworthy trainer to adopt. I also love the implication that its the cosmog's fault for all the legendary pokemon being there.

    Played through the main parts of Crown Tundra twice last night (didn't do the side missions on my 2nd account) only to find out I can't catch Calyrex until I become Champion. Anyways, still managed to get the others I needed through Pokemon Home.
    Crown Tundra dex is complete. Just working on getting shiny versions of the newly added Pokemons. Which I'm almost done. I think I just need a shiny Archen. Everyone on Home are putting up their shinies for the new Legends/Mythicals. Since I'm able to clone, my shiny dex is filling up pretty quick aha

    Of course my Future Blazekin is locked behind the New Raid den. And of course I find Swampert first T.T

    Couldn't we just had another diglet hunt for the Hoenn starters?

    The new version of that is for finding the Swords of Justice.

    For me I just wonder why starters from a tropical region are even in the cave system beneath northern scotland?

    Like sure the legendaries might use these caves in a similar way as Kaiju/Godzilla with the hollow earth theory and is just another way how these legendary titans be found in other regions instead of just flying to them. Whilst normal Galar pokemon just happen to wander in and out of them for the dens, but why the hoenn starters?

    Feel like they should just be given to you by an NPC for completing a certain amount of raids.
