Sun and Moon Tips
Gameplay Advice
- Check Pokemon species in each route on Serebii's Pokearth
- See what moves your Pokemon can learn (and when it's optimal to evolve it) on Serebii's Pokedex or Bulbapedia
- To trade with faraway friends, it's a bit more complicated than before. Here's some abbreviated instructions:
- Add each other's Friend Codes on the 3DS menu (orange square smiley face.)
- In the game, press X > Festival Plaza > Wifi On (bottom right, saves the game) > Trade (big right-side button) > Link Trade.
Key Mechanic Changes
- VGC17: This list from Nugget Bridge summarizes important nerfs/buffs.
- SOS Battles/Ally Chaining: the new shiny hunting method, and potentially best EV training method too. (Somewhat incomplete) guide here.
