I'm sorry if anybody's asked or answered this already, but do we know how to get more than one sweet/tart apple per game? I will be wanting to trade for somebody's flapple once the games are released (which will most likely be in exchange for an appletun of my own), but I was still wanting to...

Do the pokemon have to be the same species? Do you know if it would suffice for them to be members of the same evolutionary family -- or be different species (maybe in the same egg group) which just happen to know an egg move which the other pokemon can learn?

So, does anybody know how far into the game you have to play to get the Tart/Sweet apples for evolving applin? I know you can get applin itself rather early on (lvl 16-18, iirc), but considering its... dismal movepool pre-evolution, I'd rather not have to tote it around in my party for most of...

As far as I have seen, it only heals 25% in singles.

Ideally, my team would be a sticky web team with the following members: Flapple (Hustle) / Araquanid (Water Bubble) / Bisharp (Defiant) / Toxtricity (Punk Rock) / Sableye (Prankster) / Ditto (Impostor) (Though this would require trading for either a Sableye or a Flapple with its hidden ability...

Grav Apple: Grass, Physical, 80 BP. Reduces the defense of a pokemon hit by it by one stage. Apple Acid: Grass, Special, 80 BP. Reduces the special defense of a pokemon hit by it by one stage. Tar Shot: Rock, Status. Reduces the speed of target pokemon by one stage and makes it more vulnerable...

Araquanid gets Water Gun, Dive, Endure, and Headbutt (an odd omission until now, since its pokedex entries describe it headbutting opponents) Sableye gets Disable (which could be fun with prankster) Bisharp gets Screech, Beat Up, Air Slash, and Endure

Forgive me if these questions have already been asked: - If a pokemon with imposter is sent out against a dynamaxed opponent, does it copy only the opposing pokemon's species, or its size as well? - When transform targets a gigantamax pokemon, does the transforming pokemon take on the target's...

Pawniard and Bisharp can no longer learn Knock Off from any source this gen, assuming that TRs replace move tutors. You'll need to trade up from prior generations.

In addition, Sableye is a particularly interesting pokemon gaining access to Encore.

Galarian-Darmanitan can trigger Zen Mode (and immediately take excellent advantage of it) with Belly Drum. The thing has the potential to be a monster in whatever tier it ends up in.

I guess I'll give Sharp Beak a try on Talonflame; maybe I was a bit too hung up on the possibility of Mega-Aggron facing the team without really checking its usage stats... And would Psychic be a worthwhile replacement for Draco Meteor? It's the one move on Latias that I'm willing to swap...

I would like to say that this team was inspired by my hatred for Chansey. I really would. But in truth, I have been disappointed by my attempts to build balanced teams. I found that juggling between ATK and SPatk, defense and offense - while effective when done well and necessary at times - did...

I've actually found Necturna to be an extremely efficient pokemon to use with trick room, providing that your team supports it, as with the following set it can rack "up" speed in trick room with v-create, and kill a large amount of pokemon, one of the most notable being ferrothorn. Hp ice is...

actually, nvm about parasect, i just realized i had hardy as the nature instead of something beneficial. thanks. also, what exactly do you mean by "gyaravire is predictable", because even when i use it, my opponent rarely has a counter.
