#TRAINERTIPS

Train Pink Gastrodon, Box Ambipom, Release Blue Gastrodon. Pink is cuter and uhm obvi I need Ambipom for the weekends

Train Umbreon, box Gallade, release Squirtle. Umbreon because my username on Twitter was once uhmbreon, Gallade because he's my best False Swiper for shinies (he has Hypnosis and Swords Dance), and Bulbasaur is really the only gen1 starter one can choose lbr

Train Reuniclus, Box Shuckle, release Tropius. At least Shuckle can Toxic Stall kind of okay. The only thing Tropius is good for is HMs.

252 speed and 252 HP, for sure. It and Whimsicott are definitely more support-type Pokemon.

Yes, it is, actually. It adds a LOT of replayability that, frankly, Diamond and Pearl didn't have other than the basic challenge. The Battle Frontier is just beyond compare, and the fact that you can still do everything you did in Diamond and Pearl with a much varied wild grass pool of Pokemon is awesome.
