Yes Gen 7 only, but I quite like the idea of Crabrawler, and can always switch to Passimian if I need to!

I believe the critical catch multiplier still looks at national dex numbers, yeah. I remember ScriesM, I think, mentioning it while looking into the catch formulas
Can I get more of the evolution stones that aren't in the shop? I need a Froslass but I already evolved my Misdreavus with the stone.
You can get Evo Stones in Poke Pelago. Level 2 Isle Aphun should do it. It's the Brilliant Stone hunting one.

Thanks, I'll give Pelago a go (go)
I've been in there a grand total of once to get beans to evolve my Evee, is Pelago really worth getting into apart from stones?
Definitely. The best method for growing berries and Isle Aphun is nice (free items) but the passive EV training of the last island (while allowing you to do other things) is absolutely amazing. The Serebii link has more info.
If its a secondary game, don't bother. Not worth the effort. If its your only/primary game then yeah it's probably worth spending the time go get the beans/levelling up each area. Definitely upgrade the main bean collecting one first, then the Treasure Island one imo. After that move onto the berries and everything else.
the pokepelago option is great, you just have to focus on the gemstone mission, and keep doing it over and over.
you have also pickup for sun and moon stones, but they appear in pokepelago too.
It's a shame the island scan pokemon don't count toward the number of catch pokemon for the critical capture pruposes. I just realiced I would need to complete the whole dex If I want to get a higher ratio.
Sine they had added gameplay changes already in a patch, I think there's hopes that when pokebank gets released they will add a national dex.

It's my main game, and I'll be bringing all my mons to a well deserved holiday to Alola so I wanna get all I can out of it.
National Dex is now on Bank. It's confirmed on the website. There will be no national dex in SM.
how will that affect critical capture chances?
It should work like it always has. The game should still just check how many of the 802 pokemon you have. Just because there isn't a national dex doesn't mean the game isn't tracking it.

e: ACtually it's even simpler than I first thought.
All it does is track how many different pokemon you have. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Catch_rate#Critical_capture
How come some Pokemon have a different colored background when they evolve? While my Torracat was evolving the background was blue, but I just evolved Sandshrew and it was green
Alolan Forms have different background colours for evolution/egg hatching.
They also have a different pitched egg hatch theme
Any news from Pokebank ?
It should be coming by the 17th.
Great ! :) Thanks a lot !
not necessarily, season 2 of battle spot lasts through march. they're just future proofing for whenever they release it this month
There are pretty much two ways to go about this: using the Festival Plaza shops to level up pokemon at the cost of a huge amount of FC (up to level 96 I believe) or running the E4 while using a Lucky Egg and Rainbow Bean for Refresh XP bonus (with a traded Pokemon for even more, I guess).
Both aren't nearly as good as ORAS Blissey Secret Bases, though.
Are there any abilities that decrease the chance of a Pokémon calling for SOS encounters?
Status conditions will stop it, but no ability does that AFAIK.
I have two questions:
1) Yesterday, I got a very obviously hacked Crabrawler, but that's not the matter. The matter is one of the ribbons it had - it was a Footprint Ribbon. Does the NPC that hands out that Ribbon even exist in Sun and Moon? I don't remember having seen that one.
2) Is it even worth purchasing one of the Gen VI games given the Pokebank update is close? Or there is nothing worth getting there that I could not simply get on a Wonder Trade or GTS?
