There is no max level. Well I mean, in a literal sense there definitely is, but for our purposes there effectively isnt one. You stop unlocking new features at level 100, but its 300 festival coins to every subsequent level and I presume Sophoclese continues to show you random facilities to install.
That depends on what you want out of Festival Plaza. Higher rank facilities (the highest being 5 stars, the lowest 1 star) offer better services for the facility type. It may be best to read this Reddit page to get your answers.
Beat the game. How do I get to Poké Pelago? I haven't been able to figure it out yet.
Press X and look on the second page of the menu.
*facepalms* I'm an idiot. I never look at that second page and still haven't been there. :P
Thanks for the help!
Sounds like technically it's possible, though it would be pretty absurd and positively a pain. I see no reason why they wouldn't let the HA be ingame (and Serebii says it is available). That being said, Galvanize Geodude is about equally a hassle because every Geodude / Graveller ingame has a self-destruct move and all we have for damp is the Polis and non-Simple Beam Golduck.
I'll try for it, sounds fun.
Well, I just looked for the answer on my own out of curiosity and, apparently, Teleport fails if the user is trapped, and does not work if the user has an SOS ally, so there is a simple way to make SOS chains on an Abra.
Arena Trap Trapinch (cheapest pick), Mega Gengar (if you want to go to the ridiculous route) or Mean Look + False Swipe (best pick to maximize SOS chance. Requires a Smeargle or Umbreon for Mean Look though) Absol seem to be good choices, although one has to pay attention with the fact Abra will run out of PP before the battle reaches 30 chains (Teleport has 20 PP).
Still... why didn't they make Kadabra be available in the wild?

This is incorrect, the levels continue past 100 - I'm currently on 106 and counting. For what it's worth, you can still be offered 1 star facilities to host even post lvl 100.
Have anybody figured out the exact conditions or chances for hail in Tapu Village?
I've visited the damn place more than every other day since the games were released in Europe, and apart from rain when I first got there, I have never seen anything other than clear skies there. Am I visiting at the wrong times of day, or am I just really unlucky?

I looked this up a lot when trying to find a Politoed to finish my Dex and I came to the conclusion that nobody has a clue what causes it to happen. I've never seen rain in Malie Park or Lush Jungle and nothing at all at Tapu Village (and frankly never knew there could be weather at those places until I looked it up online). It's probably Mirage Island shenanigans all over again.
you could always fly to the Pokemon League and see if the winds blowing; if it is, you can hop down and SOS chain right by the lift around the Pokemon center. I've had good luck in blizzards appearing relatively frequently there.
At worst, apparently forced weather conditions (IE Hail, Rain Dance, Drizzle, etc) also work for getting weather-based Pokemon for SOS Chaining (that sounds weird so Vanillite can be found if you SOS chain while it's hailing in Tapu Village and if you use Hail / Snow Warning midbattle and SOS chain in Tapu Village), though I don't know if it has an effect on the rarity of the SOS Pokemon.

I don't have the answer to your question, but if you want snow in order to spawn Vanillite/Castform (and I think that's the only practical use for it ) you can set it up manually in-battle with Hail and it'll work just the same. To be honest, though, I didn't even know it could rain or snow on Tapu Village at all.

what Carrier said.

Are regular abilities passed down somehow in breeding, or will the hatched pokemon have a random ability?
There's an 80% chance that the offspring will have its mother's ability, or the father's if breeding with Ditto. (like 80% chance of Abra having Synchronize if its mother has it and 20% chance of having Inner Focus instead) If after you've bred the Pokemon it still lacks the regular ability you want on it, you can use an Ability Capsule to change it. (albeit these cost 100 BP, or complete a 50 win streak at the Battle Tree and return the next day)
Thanks for the replies!
Can confirm.
Set up rain with absol on lush jungle on a false swiped caterpie and the first thing it showed up was a goomy.
When using pickup does a pokemon with pickup have the finish the battle to activate the ability? Trying to farm a destiny knot.
No, pokemon that don't participate can pick stuff up. I'm not sure, but I think you might have to win said battle rather than running away.
If looking for a destiny knot, I recommend putting a team of legends/UB's together to get the BP needed for it in the Battle Tree. Pickup chaining, in my opinion, is much more tedious and annoying, while you at least feel like you are progressing in the Battle Tree (or Battle Royale, if you prefer).
Thanks. Guess I'm getting unlucky with my 5 pickup pokemon with a 1/10 chance each to proc it. I will say 48 bp is better spent on other things IMO.
I second the UB/Legends team. Koko, Lele, Bulu, Fini, Pheromosa, and Kartana are all solid options to tackle the battle tree. I've heard Xurkitree is alright too.
